Chapter 16: The Treasure is Born
The drizzle in late autumn fell into the quiet courtyard, bringing a bit of chill.
"Stombleβ"
Tan Luzi covered a volume of secret letters with his sleeves, walked quickly from the rain with a solemn expression, entered the small courtyard, stood at the door of the inner mansion, and arched his hand and said, "My subordinates see the overseer!" β
"Come in."
After a slight silence, Yuhuatian's indifferent voice sounded in the room.
Tan Luzi immediately pushed the door in, at this time Yuhuatian had just woken up from meditation, looking at Tan Luzi with a solemn expression, he got up without hurry, came to the chair in the hall and sat down, and said lightly: "Say, what did you find?" β
Tan Luzi knew that the overseer had a habit of cleanliness, so he didn't dare to offend, so he first walked to the side and washed his hands, and after carefully drying them, he took out the information in his sleeve and presented it respectfully, and at the same time reported in his mouth:
"Lord Qiqi, the spies sent out to inquire about the recent changes in the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts people of other countries have entered the territory of my Daming Dynasty for a treasure!"
"Treasure?"
Yu Huatian's eyes moved slightly, opened the scroll in his hand, and asked while looking at it, "What treasure?" β
Tan Luzi replied: "It is said that in the northwest desert, there is a treasure that is about to be born, and it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this treasure is rich enough to rival the country, and whoever gets this treasure is equivalent to having the capital to compete for the world!" β
Hearing this, Yuhuatian couldn't help but sneer.
Since ancient times, no country has been built by a single unwarranted treasure.
Often such rumors are the most ridiculous!
"Have you found out what kind of treasure it is?"
Yu Huatian continued to ask, but soon his eyes froze, looking at the information in his hand, and said word by word: "Dabai Shangguo?" β
Tan Luzi nodded: "Yes, although there are many rumors on the rivers and lakes, according to the report of the spies, the most reliable of them is that this treasure from the desert is very likely to be the treasure left after the fall of the Great White Kingdom three hundred years ago." β
Yuhuatian didn't speak, but his thoughts had already drifted away.
The Northwest Desert, located outside the "Longmen Pass" in the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty, does not belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
But three hundred years ago, it was the capital of a small country called "Great White Kingdom", called "Blackwater City".
Later, the Great White Kingdom was destroyed by the Great Yuan Dynasty, but before the destruction of Blackwater City, some of the remaining soldiers sealed the old people and children in Blackwater City, and collectively martyred, and then Blackwater City was flooded by the wind and sand overnight, and the palace treasure house of the Great White Kingdom was also buried underground with the wind and sand.
Since then, there has been a legend on the rivers and lakes that the black sandstorm in the desert will appear every Jiazi, that is, once every sixty years, when the black sandstorm will blow the desert away, and the palace treasures buried in the ground will appear, and whoever gets these treasures will be rich and rival the country.
This plot also appeared in the original play of 'Dragon Gate Flying Armor'.
In the original book, Yuhuatian was also killed by Zhao Huaian and his party in the palace of Heishui City, and was buried underground with the wind and sand.
But now that Zhao Huai'an, the fateful enemy of the original owner, has already been killed by Yuhuatian, I thought that this plot would not appear, but I didn't expect that what should have come is still coming.
And this matter has spread all over the rivers and lakes, and even attracted martial arts people from other countries to come.
The purpose is to obtain the treasure of this great white kingdom!
Looking at Yu Huatian's gloomy face, Tan Luzi hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Overseer, this matter may just be a cover released by someone, it can't be true, should we investigate it carefully?" β
"I know what's going on, so I don't need to look it up."
Yuhuatian waved his hand.
Although it is known to everyone who spread the news, the treasure of the Great White Kingdom was born and it is indeed true.
To be honest, Yu Huatian didn't want to interfere in this matter.
Now that the matter of the treasure has been spread, it will definitely attract many people with ulterior motives, and there may even be some powerhouses at the level of grandmasters or even great grandmasters.
With his strength at the moment, it is too risky to meddle in this matter.
But he can't make up his mind about it.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Huatian got up and said, "I will enter the palace to report this matter, what to do, let Your Majesty call the shots." β
He didn't plan to hide this matter, since the matter was so big, the emperor would know about it sooner or later.
Deceiving the emperor now will only add to your own blockage.
"Yes."
Tan Luzi hurriedly saluted.
But as soon as Yuhuatian went out, a little eunuch suddenly ran in from outside and saluted: "Father-in-law Yu, the concubine is invited." β
This little eunuch is in the palace of Wan Guifei.
The corners of Yu Huatian's mouth twitched, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Get out!" β
"This ......"
The little eunuch was startled and froze in place, not knowing how to reply.
Yu Huatian walked out with a cold face, he was annoyed at the moment, this hooves were endless, and now he came to block himself.
But as soon as he walked to the door, Yuhuatian still forced himself to calm down, stopped, and said coldly: "Back to the noble concubine Niangniang, after seeing Your Majesty in this seat, I will go to Cining Palace to meet you." β
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The little eunuch suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and replied, "The slave obeys the order." β
β¦
Before the dawn of the moment, the early dynasty has not yet ended.
After Yuhuatian entered the palace, he first waited in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace for a while, until the bell of the next dynasty rang, and he saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse coming.
Cao Zhengchun had just succeeded as the governor of Dongchang, and he was busy with government affairs, and at this moment, next to the emperor was a small eunuch of the celebrant eunuch.
Seeing Yuhuatian waiting at the door, Zhu Youxiao didn't show his face, waved his hand and said, "Come in." β
Yuhuatian waited for Zhu Youxiao to enter the hall before following in.
Zhu Youxiao walked straight to the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace and sat down, only then did he look at Yuhuatian in the center of the main hall and asked, "Say, what's the matter?" β
Yu Huatian did not hesitate, and replied: "Your Majesty, the matter you asked the slave to investigate has been clarified." β
Then, Yuhuatian told Zhu Youxiao about the treasure of Dabai Shangguo word for word.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao immediately showed excitement: "The treasure of the Great White Kingdom still exists in the world, and it has not been taken away by the Great Yuan Dynasty?" Are you sure it's true? β
Yuhuatian said in a deep voice: "There are many people who know about this matter, and they can inquire about it with a little inquiry, and the slave maid thinks that it is very likely, otherwise it will not attract martial arts people from other countries." β
"Hahaha! That's great! God bless me! β
Zhu Youxiao immediately laughed, very excited, his eyes were full of covetousness and desire for the treasure of the Great White Kingdom.
No wonder he's so excited.
It's really Daming all these years, it's too poor!
Although the Ming Dynasty is one of the six major dynasties in Shenzhou, it is not without opponents, the Great Yuan Dynasty in the north, the Qing Dynasty in the east, and the Great Song Dynasty in the west have always been eyeing the Ming Dynasty.
Especially the Dayuan Dynasty, all these years have been trying to gnaw a piece of meat from the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty did not want to fight, in order to resist the Great Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Chengzu directly moved the capital to Beiping and established Shuntianfu, which means "the Son of Heaven guards the country", indicating the determination of the Ming Dynasty to dare to fight.
But it's a pity that the economic strength can't keep up, and even if Daming has the heart to fight, he can't do anything.
War is not only a competition for combat power, but also a burning of money!
Therefore, Daming has been bullied by the northern aliens over the years, and the aliens in the north have seen the lack of money in the Ming, and often send people into the customs to rob the people of the Ming Dynasty, causing hundreds of people to be ruined every time, but when the Ming Dynasty was ready to fight back, they ran away again.
Over the past hundreds of years, I don't know how many innocent people have died at the hands of the northern aliens, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty have gritted their teeth with hatred for the northern aliens.
If it weren't for the lack of national strength, Daming would have sent troops north early in the morning to eradicate that group of damned bandits.
Therefore, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the pursuit of economy, others simply could not understand.
Everyone wants to be a good emperor who dares to fight and is famous for future generations, but the economic strength does not allow it!
And now that the treasure of the Great White Kingdom has been born, and it is so close to the Ming Dynasty, how can Zhu Youzhen not feel excited?!
Zhu Youxiao immediately looked at Yuhuatian and asked, "Can the imperial courts of other countries intervene?" Or is it just a shot by the charlatans? β
Yu Huatian thought for a while and replied: "For the time being, I haven't heard that the imperial courts of other countries have made a move, and only people from the rivers and lakes should rush to hear the news, but it is not excluded that the imperial courts of other countries have secretly sent people here." β
Zhu Youxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of energy.
After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "Since the other dynasties have not directly intervened, then it is not easy for my Ming Dynasty to send troops to take action, and this matter still has to be left to you." β
Yu Huatian sighed in his heart, he knew that this was the case.
The establishment of the East and West No. 2 Factory was originally to deal with the forces of the rivers and lakes.
But the king's order is difficult to disobey, and Yuhuatian has no qualifications to refuse, so he can only give his hand and say: "The slave obeys the order." β
Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said: "Cao Zhengchun has just taken charge of the East Factory, the situation in the East Factory has not yet stabilized, it is not appropriate to do it, and I am out of the palace to parade, and the palace cannot be left unguarded, this matter will be left to you West Factory, I will let the Dragon Guardian Villa help you." β
"If the courts of other dynasties dare to take direct action, I will also send a large army out of the customs to help you, no matter what, you must bring back the treasures of the Great White Kingdom!"
Yu Huatian's heart was heavy, and he replied: "The slave and maid have the order." β
