Chapter 118: The Whereabouts of the Treasure

"What do I need to do?" The envoy of the State of Chu asked.

It's a risk for him, but it's not a high risk, and it's not worth the cost compared to the rewards that may be received in the end.

Of course, if Ye Chuxiao's request is too much, then he may choose to be false and wronged, and the focus is to deceive the national credentials.

From the point of view of the envoy of the Chu State, he is almost sure that he will not lose money.

"It's very simple, during the time you were on your mission to Northern Qin, you have repeatedly shown high appreciation and support for me in public." Ye Chuxiao gave an answer that sounded easy to do.

The envoy of the State of Chu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is it just verbal support?" Or does it need to be cashed out concretely? ”

When he asked this question, it already showed that his heart was empty.

Although he is an emissary, it is clear that he is not a person who is good at vertical and horizontal stalking.

This is also normal, for the powerful Chu State, Northern Qin is just a small and remote country that is weak and caught in frequent infighting, and it is unlikely that the envoys sent by such a small country are really capable ministers or rising stars.

Arrange a few people to deal with it, as long as it doesn't lose the elegance of a big country.

Ye Chuxiao nodded and said, "That's it." ”

The truth of being too late, Ye Chuxiao is very clear.

The envoy of Chu in front of him was not a powerful minister in Chu, he was just wearing the skin of an envoy of a great power.

Excessive consumption of the false prestige borrowed from him will only lead to a more violent turn of events.

But if the envoy of the Chu State only expressed verbal support for Ye Chuxiao, and actually did not take any real action, then in the eyes of Mingda and other Northern Qin ministers, this is the envoy of the Chu State playing with their puppet emperor in order to set some benefits.

For the sake of the face of this envoy of the Chu State, and let him have a good time, they may slow down a little, because of the power game and private ghost tricks, which lead to the frequent change of monarchs.

And with these spaces, Ye Chuxiao had the bargaining chips to go to the elders of the Northern Qin royal family and ask where the Northern Qin treasure house was located and how to open it.

The envoy of the Chu State looked at the young Northern Qin Emperor in front of him suspiciously, and tried to think about whether there was any hidden information behind this.

It's a pity that Ye Chuxiao's expression has always remained the same, so that he can't see the slightest trace.

"Good! You give my country a book first! The envoy of Chu said.

Ye Chuxiao turned around and walked to the desk, wrote down the four big words 'self-invitation as a minister' with a stroke of his pen, and handed them to the envoy of the Chu State.

"Before the envoy leaves Northern Qin, I will stamp the seal." Ye Chuxiao's face does not change color to paint flatbread.

In fact, the national treasure seal of Northern Qin was not in his hands at all.

"This... Isn't it a bit abbreviated? The envoy of Chu State looked at the four big characters fluttering lightly in his hand, and he didn't know why, but he always felt that between the lines, he seemed to be radiant, and it was completely out of step with the young emperor in front of him, the environment he was in, and what he was doing.

"Four words, that's enough!" Ye Chuxiao said.

"That's it! Don't worry, I can still fool you? ”

"Isn't my life and death between your words?" Ye Chuxiao then said soothingly.

In the end, the envoy of the State of Chu left the Northern Qin Palace with the four big characters given by Ye Chuxiao and the beautiful expectations for the future.

Clicking on the personal panel, Ye Chuxiao looked at the life value that was constantly beating and cutting, and only felt a toothache.

Even if it is a 'short-lived' emperor of a small country, that is an emperor, and his existence needs to distort the perception of many people.

When there is a conflict between the number of lives and the number of lives, Ye Chuxiao stays in the position of Emperor of Northern Qin for a moment longer, and the number of lives will continue to be reduced.

When the life value reaches zero, Ye Chuxiao will also encounter a real death catastrophe in this world.

Of course, he can also use the convenience of his identity to cause some incidents and enhance his life points.

One increase and one decrease, it depends on which one runs faster.

After the envoy of Chu State left the palace, he began to frequently participate in some so-called aristocratic banquets as instructed by Ye Chuxiao.

And in the banquet, he never hesitated to praise Ye Chuxiao, the new monarch of Northern Qin.

At first, the attitude of this envoy of Chu made many nobles vigilant.

But with the continuous firing of the envoy of the Chu State, there was never a spark in sight, and everyone understood.

It's just posturing.

Their puppet emperor will not usher in strong reinforcements, and they can still enjoy the happiness after the overthrow of the monarch, drinking, singing, dancing and dancing.

And Ye Chuxiao, in the middle of the night a few days later, quietly turned into a wild cat with the technique of transforming into a phantom body, left the palace, and walked towards the mansion of the eldest clan of the Li royal family in the capital of the Northern Qin Kingdom at this time.

Since the fall of power, the life of the Northern Qin royal family has not been easy.

Even if he is an elder of the royal family, Li Shangcheng's mansion is next to the edge of the city, only two streets away from leaving the city.

The area is not large, and there are only three courtyards before and after.

The Ming clan's mansion on the right side of the palace, picking out a courtyard at random, is larger and more luxurious than Li Shangcheng's mansion.

Although it was not large, the house still seemed very empty, except for some servants, there was not a trace of family gathering.

Li Shangcheng leaned on the rattan chair, listening to the music with his eyes closed, and the servant, who was already a little discolored, was skillfully babbling and singing a melancholy song, and his demeanor was quite moving.

It's just that although she sings well, she doesn't dare to be careless.

After many years of dealing, this servant knows very well what a cruel and ferocious person the old man in front of him is.

And with the decline of power, the brutality that was originally bred by domineering has been transformed into ferocity after losing power.

"Ruyi! This song is still sung by you, and the apprentices you taught don't have the charm of you. Li Shangcheng tapped the beat on his knees and said with half-squinted eyes.

The elderly servant smiled shyly, did not answer, and just continued to sing, but his voice was lowered twice.

Her apprentice... Wasn't it all ruined and killed by this old guy?

The dead man, of course, has no chance to sing the song again to proficiency.

"How old are you! It's easy to miss the old! ”

"You said that decades ago, when we first met in Xiuchun Pavilion, what kind of situation was it!" Li Shangcheng said with a sigh.

Picking up the warm wine on the side, he took a shallow sip, and Li Shangcheng sighed.

His eyes were blurred, and he was clearly caught in remembrance.

"Are you nostalgic for your former youth, or are you nostalgic for the old brocade clothes and food, and high-ranking officials?" A voice woke up Li Shangcheng in his memory.

Then Li Shangcheng saw a cat, and in front of his eyes, it gradually turned into a person.

"Li Zishan!?" Li Shangcheng was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, he changed his words: "The old minister has seen Your Majesty!" ”

Having said that, he didn't get up.

It's just saying things like that.

The servants on the side were still singing small songs, and they didn't have the slightest feeling for Ye Chuxiao's arrival.

With Ye Chuxiao's ability, it is easy to deceive a servant with illusion.

The monks in the Desolate Fighting Realm are clearly separated from ordinary people in a sense.

There is no fire thief like Tang Sudong who has devolved his cultivation knowledge to the people and spread it to the common people of Limin, and the monks in the desolate fighting world are nothing more than the scattered cultivation of three or five people from the family, the sect and the generation, and the small family.

Occasionally, there are also those who have the opportunity to become self-trained.

It's just that such lucky ones are very few and have no universal value.

"The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed... It doesn't taste good, right? Ye Chuxiao asked Li Shangcheng.

Li Shangcheng was silent, he didn't have much respect for the monarch who suddenly arrived in front of him, if it weren't for Ye Chuxiao's strange appearance, and he seemed to have used a good illusion, he even dared to rely on the identity of the clan elder to scold the young emperor in front of him.

The so-called prestige comes from power.

Power in front, power in the back.

The powerless emperor, even if he has the name of the Son of Heaven, can only be used to scare the ignorant people.

"Jiangshan has been lost by you, and I plan to take it back, what does the clan elder have to teach me?" Ye Chuxiao asked Li Shangcheng.

There was a hint of mockery in the tone.

When Li Shangcheng heard this, his face turned red and he was quite annoyed: "Your Majesty is serious!" The country is still my Li family's country, how can I lose it? ”

"Huh! Deceive oneself as well as others? ”

"Then why do you want to send the whole family to other countries?"

"Aren't you worried that one day, the Ming and Qu clans will lead troops to rebel, and the whole family will be destroyed?" Ye Chuxiao asked with a sneer.

According to Ye Chuqi, the fate of the Li royal family who scattered and escaped from Northern Qin was not good.

Before the outbreak of the Northern Qin Imperial Treasure Incident, some of them were tracked down by the killers arranged by the Ming and Qu clans and killed in other countries.

In addition, some of the land snakes who were migrated found that they were lonely and exiled, but they carried a lot of wealth and knowledge, so they annihilated them all in the name of bandits, and took away the wealth accumulated by these Li royal families for many years.

A very small number of Li clansmen who escaped the catastrophe and succeeded in hiding incognito were basically scraped out by various forces because of the treasure in the end.

In the face of Ye Chuxiao's accusation, Li Shangcheng's face turned from red to blue, and his face jumped back and forth between red and blue.

Eventually, he spit out a long breath of depression.

is already a loser's dog, where is there so much heart?

"If your reliance is on the envoy of the Chu State, then take advantage of the time you still have and have more fun!"

"This is the only piece of advice I have for you, the elder of my clan." Li Shangcheng said.

Ye Chuxiao said: "He's just a weight used to delay time, just the so-called Ming Xiu Plank Road, dark Chen Cang!" I used the envoys of the Chu State to attract the attention of the clan, but secretly I could use a lot of money to recruit a group of outlaws abroad. ”

"Now that we've reached the end of the mountain, why not break the kettle?"

Some of Ye Chuxiao's words, Li Shangcheng may not know the origin of the allusions, but it does not prevent him from understanding the meaning.

"Heavy money?"

"Where does the money come from?" Li Shangcheng asked.

Ye Chuxiao said: "I know that we still have a treasure hidden, but I'm not sure where the location or how to open it." ”

When Li Shangcheng heard this, his face remained unchanged, but his eyes subconsciously lowered: "Don't be delusional!" If there were, a long time ago, we would have opened the treasure trove and taken out the treasure to use against the traitors. ”

Ye Chuxiao caught Li Shangcheng's flashing eyes, and his heart was even more determined.

"It seems that the clan always wants to leave this wealth to his children outside!"

"But have you ever thought that with their ability, if they lose the homeland of Northern Qin, can they hold it?"

"Is it a good thing to have no power, but to have a lot of wealth in your hands?" Ye Chuxiao asked.

Li Shangcheng said with a calm face when he heard this: "Your Majesty! It's late at night, hurry back to the palace! ”

"Otherwise, if you are found to have left the palace without permission, I am afraid that the envoy of the Chu State will not be able to protect you."

This is threatening Ye Chuxiao!

Continue to chat, he doesn't mind revealing Ye Chuxiao's whereabouts at this time, and let the Ming clan deal with Ye Chuxiao.

Ye Chuxiao looked at Li Shangcheng, who had a hard mouth, and sighed helplessly.

This old guy seems to be determined to swallow the treasure privately and leave it to his descendants.

That being the case, there is not much to say.

Ye Chuxiao shot directly.

didn't bother to really pull out the knife at all, just made a knife with his hand, and the knife fell on Li Shangcheng's forehead.

Li Shangcheng guarded against Ye Chuxiao for a long time, and the moment Ye Chuxiao made a move, he was already like a ghost, turning into four shadows, fleeing in four directions.

In terms of cultivation, Li Shangcheng is in the same wonderful realm, and he has been operating in this realm for many years, but he has long lost the courage to fight Ye Chuxiao at all.

For a moment, all I could think of was to flee first.

It's just that Ye Chuxiao's knife with his hand is really so easy to dodge?

"Wind!"

Ye Chuxiao used the first knife 'wind' in the Nine-Style Perfection of the Sword Master.

This knife is as fast as the wind, and it is a combination of fast knives.

Even if Ye Chuxiao didn't really eat it thoroughly, he just painted the cat and the tiger, and when this knife was used, the whole person still seemed to be incarnated into the wind.

Before this knife fell, whether it was a strong wind or a storm, a breeze or a thin wind, it was all in Ye Chuxiao's thoughts.

And the difference between this idea will affect the specific direction of this technique.

It can be said that this knife alone has a thousand ways to use it, but in the final analysis, there is only one tendency.

The wind fell with a knife, and Li Shangcheng's four shadows were cut down by Ye Chuxiao at the same time.

And Li Shangcheng's real body was dragged out of the closet split by Ye Chuxiao.

With the force of his fingers, five rune shadows spread from his fingertips, imprinting on the old guy's body, temporarily imprisoning all his mobility.

Ye Chuxiao took out one rhyme after another and stuffed it directly into Li Shangcheng's head.

"You're cheap!"

Dao Yun entered the body, and Li Shangcheng's unconscious absorption and digestion.

I was amazed that the vitality that was constantly pouring out of my body, and the cultivation that had not been loosened for many years, seemed to have the possibility of growth.

The next moment, Ye Chuxiao's knife really swung down, directly cutting off his breath.

Wind is the movement of air.

If you control it carefully, you can block people's breath, and people who are cut off from breath will die naturally.

It's like just sleeping soundly, quietly slipping away the last chance of life.

With a little unwilling thought, Li Shangcheng's last thoughts also disappeared in the darkness.

The Dao rhyme that had been used was reabsorbed into the golden clock by Ye Chuxiao.

Then it quietly disintegrated.

After the Dao Yun was shattered, Ye Chuxiao did not attach importance to the cultivation experience that turned into it.

But some of the memories recorded in it, Ye Chuxiao looked through them carefully.

It didn't take long to find something related to the treasure.

"It's a novelty to hide treasure in the territory of a neighboring country."

"But the key to unlocking the treasure is the national treasure seal... That's a bit old-fashioned! ”

"No wonder these Li royal families, who have already given up on Northern Qin, did not choose to open the treasure, although they know the whereabouts of the treasure, but they do not pass on the national treasure seal." Ye Chuxiao let go of Li Shangcheng's body and put it back on the rattan chair.
