The four of them turned around, only to see Lan Zhenyu with a scar on his face and more than a dozen black-clothed subordinates appear not far from them, Lan Zhenyu's cold eyes stared at the package on Li Zhen's back, and the protruding shape of the package was the copper box he had been looking for for more than two months.

"Li Gongzi, I know that your swordsmanship is good, but you are far from my opponent, it is better for us to make a deal, you give me the copper box, and I will spare your life. ”

Li Zhen had already comprehended Lan Zhenyu's viciousness, and he knew that even if he gave the copper box to this person, he would never let them go, and he would definitely kill people.

Li Zhen took out the gilded copper box and said with a smile: "This thing is really harmful, I want to destroy it, everyone will not be troubled." ”

Lan Zhenyu raised his head and laughed, "Master Li, you can't destroy this copper box!"

"Really?"

Li Zhen sneered and said to Jiuzhi: "Give me the dagger!"

Jiu Zhi hurriedly pulled out the dagger and handed it to him, Li Zhen took the golden dagger and aimed the tip of the dagger at the copper box, "I can pierce it and destroy the contents inside." ”

As he spoke, he was about to stab, Lan Zhenyu had already seen that the golden dagger was extremely sharp, his face changed greatly, and he shouted angrily: "Stop!"

Li Zhen stopped the dagger and looked at him with a smile, Lan Zhenyu gritted his teeth and said, "Li Zhen, what do you want?"

"You actually know that my name is Li Zhen!"

Li Zhen also remembered, how could he think that Lan Zhenyu's name was familiar, he had seen it in Kang Sisi's contract, and the other party's signature was Lan Zhenning, which should be Lan Zhenyu's brother, at this time, he suddenly became a little worried about Sisi.

"Li Zhen, the contents of this copper box are not for you to own, give it to me quickly, and I will spare you death!" Lan Zhenyu was already a little anxious, how could these four teenagers not know the sky and the earth at all.

Li Zhen laughed unexpectedly, "Lan Zhenyu, I wanted to give it to you, but it's a pity that the people behind you didn't agree." ”

As soon as Lan Zhenyu turned around, he saw dozens of Charvalian warriors rushing into the alley, and the warriors also saw the copper box in Li Zhen's hand, pointed at Li Zhen with a knife and shouted, and dozens of warriors rushed desperately.

Lan Zhenyu gritted his teeth and scolded with hatred, "These bastards!"

He ordered his men: "Stop them and kill me!"

More than a dozen black-clothed men swung their swords to kill the Tocharian warriors, and when Lan Zhenyu turned around, he saw that Li Zhen and the four of them were running lifelessly into the depths of the alley.

Gaochang City is an ancient city, has a history of hundreds of years, hundreds of years of history in this ancient city layered, the table xiàn out, is the coexistence of buildings in various years, so that the buildings in the city are extremely crowded, the streets and alleys are deep and long, extending in all directions, as if a labyrinth.

Li Zhen and the four of them ran wildly in the deep alley, they had turned two alleys in a row, but the front was still bottomless, and the street could not be seen, Li Zhen secretly complained in his heart, if the front was a dead alley, things would be troublesome.

"Li Gongzi, this way!"

As soon as he turned a corner, he heard someone calling them not far away, and when Li Zhen turned around, he saw a crack in the door next to him, and someone beckoned to him in the door.

At this time, Lan Zhenyu's footsteps had already come from a distance, they had no time, Li Zhen gritted his teeth and rushed into the gate, and the other three followed him into the gate, and the gate closed silently.

Lan Zhenyu didn't realize that they had entered the door, he ran directly in front of the gate, there was a fork in front of him, he looked to both sides, and ran towards an alley.

It was a young man who opened the door for Li Zhen, and Jiu Zhi vaguely remembered him, as if he was the entourage of the man in blue.

Jiu Zhi whispered to Li Zhen: "He is the group of people in blue." ”

The young man smiled slightly: "Master Li, don't worry, my master has no malicious intentions, he just wants to help you." ”

When he saw that everyone was hesitating, he smiled and said, "I have arranged for someone to retrieve your horses, but you can trust my master." ”

Li Zhen sneered in his heart, he didn't know what it meant to 'believe', but it was just for the copper box on his back, but he had no choice now, so he could only bet this time.

"Where's your master?"

"Please come with me!"

The young man led Li Zhen and the four of them to the depths of the house, but they came out of the back door, and outside was the street, and a carriage was parked at the door.

"Please get in the carriage!"

Li Zhen thought about it, then got into the carriage, and the three of them also went in with him, and Jiuzhi said in a low voice: "Lao Li, these people have a Chang'an accent. ”

Li Zhen nodded, the praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, the three forces have found them, the Tocharians are the stupidest, charging ahead, but they have suffered heavy casualties.

Lan Zhenyu had a little brains and cut off their retreat, but what really gained was this inconspicuous man in blue, who was he?

The carriage went directly out of Nancheng, walked two miles, and came to a manor mansion, which was actually a building in the Central Plains, with eaves and arches, black tiles and white walls, and a trace of kindness swelled in their hearts.

The carriage stopped, and the young man opened the door for them, and said with a smile: "My master is waiting in the house, please come with me!"

The four of them followed him into the gate, bypassed the shadow wall, and walked into the courtyard, but they saw Uncle Madara walking towards them, and the four of them were stunned, "Uncle Madara, why are you here?"

Seeing that they were safe and sound, Uncle Ban laughed happily, "I was looking for you everywhere in Gaochang City, and my friend said that he knew where you were, so he brought me here to wait, and you really came." ”

Unexpectedly met Uncle Madara, which eased Li Zhen's vigilance a little, and it turned out that the man in blue was Uncle Madara's friend.

Uncle Ban whispered to Li Zhen again: "I'm really sorry, the Sogdian who was going to transfer the secret recipe has already returned to Samarkand, and his secret recipe has been transferred to someone else, so we are a step late." ”

Li Zhen was stunned, isn't this just a trip in vain? It's not good to explain to the eldest sister when I go back! But after a moment of thought, maybe I can buy it from someone else's hands.

He patted Uncle Ban on the shoulder and comforted him with a few words, the problem was not big.

At this moment, a man and a woman, about thirty years old, of medium height, with big ears and a dignified appearance, walked out of the hall, but their faces were tanned by the sun.

He was followed by a young woman, who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a floor-mopping garnet red dress, a thin green shirt, and a large area of white skin on her chest, black as a cloud, and her appearance was stunningly beautiful.

The young woman pursed her lips and smiled, her eyebrows fluttering with ten thousand styles, and the four of them were stunned.

The man coughed, stepped forward and clasped his fists and smiled, "Welcome everyone!"

Jiuzhi recognized this person, and hurriedly whispered to Li Zhen: "The person I met in the wine shop today is him!"

Li Zhen returned the salute to the man, and asked Uncle Ban with a smile, "Uncle Ban, is this your friend?"

"It's a friend, but it's also an old guest of mine, so I'll introduce you. ”

The man waved his hand, "Old Spot, I'll introduce myself!"

He stepped forward, took a deep look at Li Zhen and said: "Wang Yuanbao in Xia Chang'an, who has been in business for generations, has dealt with Lao Ban for 20 years. ”

He pointed to the young woman behind him again, "This is the sister Wang whispering, coming to Gaochang with me to do business." ”

Wang Qingyu stepped forward and Shi Shiran saluted, "Qingyu has seen Li Gongzi!"

Li Zhen hurriedly returned a salute to the woman, "It turned out to be Wang Gongzi and Miss Wang." ”

After a few words of greeting from everyone, Wang Yuanbao lightly led the topic to the right thing, "You are all children of a good family in Dunhuang, but you were accidentally involved in a court battle, it's a pity!"

Xiao Xi said in the back: "Brother Wang, can you tell us, what is in the copper box?"

"Of course, but this is not the place to talk, please come with me. ”

He led the four of them to the inner hall, his sister Wang whispered behind him, and Uncle Ban knew that it was not his own business, so he took his leave first.

Everyone walked into the inner hall, Wang Yuanbao beat all the subordinates away, and asked them to sit down, there were only six of them in the inner hall.

"Let my sister tell me! He knows this better than I do. ”

The four of them looked at Wang Qingyu, Wang Qingyu raised his slender hand and brushed the cloud sideburns, and then smiled lightly: "What you got is actually a set of letters for relics!"

"Relics!" exclaimed Xiao Xiao.

"Does the little brother know?" asked him with a soft smile.

Xiao Xiao's face was swollen red, and he stammered: "The relics should be the Eight Treasures Set, the jade set of letters can also be, the jade set of letters is a copper box, the copper box is a silver coffin, the silver coffin is a gold coffin, and the innermost is the glass bottle containing the relics, so it is also called the gold coffin and silver coffin set." ”

"Since the little brother knows about the golden coffin and silver coffin set of letters, why can't he think that there are relics inside?" Wang whispered in a very soft voice, she pursed her lips and smiled, the charm in the corners of her eyes became even stronger, but a pair of beautiful eyes glanced at Li Zhen quickly.

"Because the golden coffin and silver coffin set of letters are the ritual system of our Tang Dynasty, and the other party is a Tocharian monk, Tocharian should be the same as Tianzhu, using an poppy altar to hold relics, so"

"So the little brother didn't think of it, it's understandable, but the problem is here, it's obviously the relics of Tocharo, why do you want to use the ceremonies of the Tang Dynasty to bloom? There is only one reason, this Maitreya Buddha's relics were originally the little Atuo Temple to be dedicated to the Tang Dynasty Holy Emperor. ”

"Maitreya Buddha!" the four exclaimed at the same time.

Wang nodded softly and continued: "Our Eastern Tang Dynasty is called Maitreya Buddha, but he is actually Maitreya Bodhisattva, Tocharian is called Ayido Bodhisattva, after he sits, he has dozens of relics, which are divided into major monasteries, and the small Atuo Temple treasures one, which is the treasure of the temple.

King Ashu asked the temple many times, and because the temple couldn't let go, the little Atuo Temple decided to worship it to the Tang Dynasty.

It was carried out by three old monks at the same time, all of which were placed in the same set of letters, only one of which was a true relic, and the other two were shadow relics, that is, imitations made of jade beads. ”

Li Zhen has already understood, Wu Zetian claims to be the reincarnation of Maitreya, this Maitreya relic is of great significance to her, no wonder these people are desperate to grab it.

"Miss Wang, can you sue me, who is robbing this relic?"

Wang Qingyu turned his head to look at his brother, Wang Yuanbao said slowly with a solemn expression: "The person behind this matter is not trivial, I advise Li Gongzi not to know, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"But I should let me know a little bit! ”

"Lan Zhenyu is just a small person, but he will never tell Sù Gongzi who he is doing things for, the only thing I can tell Sù Gongzi is that group of Tocharian warriors, they are sent by King Ah Shu to intercept the relics.

The Tocharian shop you asked two days ago was originally the property of the Little Atuo Temple, and the three old monks would come here to rest and change horses, and then go on the road to Luoyang, but unfortunately the people of King Ashu moved very quickly, and the owner of the shop had been killed, and that guy was the old monk who sent someone to disguise himself and wait for the real relics to come to the door, but he waited for you.

However, they didn't expect that Lan Zhenyu also bought the guy, and the guy also gave the news to Lan Zhenyu while reporting the news to King Ashu's people. ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, things are so complicated, if they didn't come to the door for the old monk, the old monk would definitely be caught by the people who knew how to be the king of Ashu, this is also the will of heaven.

"How could Brother Wang know so much?" asked Li Zhen puzzled.

Wang Yuanbao smiled, "It's very simple, we also bought that guy, so we got the news at the same time." ”

Li Zhen scolded in his heart, that bullshit guy is called two-faced and three-stabbed.

Wang Yuanbao saw that Li Zhen was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said sincerely: "I can't tell the identity of the person who entrusted us with the work, but I won't hide the son in other circumstances, our Wang family has a deep trade relationship with the Western Regions, so he found our Wang family."

For the sake of this Maitreya relic, I did not hesitate to personally take people to Tocharo, outside the city of Ashu, we rescued an old monk who was seriously injured, and the old monk gave me the shadow relic he carried before he died, and another old monk was caught by King Ashu.

But the old monk who carried the real relics took another way to the north, but was intercepted by Lan Zhenyu outside Gaochang City, and thanks to our help, the old monk was able to escape with injuries. ”

Next to him, the king whispered: "My brother is responsible for going to Tocharo, I am in Gaochang, but I didn't expect the relics to be obtained by you, with all due respect, although this Maitreya relic is a rare treasure, no one dares to buy it, and it has no price."

As far as you are concerned, this relic will only bring you death, and you must have realized it, and my brother and I hope that you will make a decision. ”
