Chapter 251: Preparations Before Departure
In fact, Zhao Ya had guessed before that if the relics of the East King were in Dayan, then the possibility of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain System should be the greatest.
Because the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is the premier mountain of Dayan, the entire mountain system spans thousands of miles, almost running through most of Dayan.
It is in such a vast mountain system that there is the greatest possibility of hiding treasures.
When it came to Wanshou County, Zhao Ya couldn't help but think of Song Linqing, Song Peiwan's brothers and sisters, as well as Tan Dong and others.
When he was in Dancing Elephant City, because of the chaos of the three families, Song Linqing, the head of the Song family, finally led everyone under his command to flee to Wanshou County and returned to the Song family's hometown.
Many years have passed, because the roads in the world are blocked and the post station is in ruins, Zhao Ya and Song Linqing and others have long been cut off, and I don't know what happened to them.
Zhao Ya sighed slightly, and then carefully put away this map of the distribution of mountains and rivers in Wanshou County.
These maps must be hundreds of years old, but when the Great Yan country was strong, it took huge manpower and material resources to survey the terrain of the world, and finally compiled.
But now it is placed in the library of Guozijian silently moldy, and no one cares about it.
Of course, it can't be said that no one has seen it at all, at least the map of the Dayan Post Road trade route has long been stolen.
Only these barren mountains and mountains, maps with almost no commercial value have been preserved.
Zhao Ya took this map and left Guozijian and returned home.
As soon as he entered the house, Shang Jingchuan greeted him and looked at Zhao Ya with straight eyes.
"Xiaoya, did you also make that will today?" Shang Jingchuan asked.
"Sort of, actually, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, but someone came forward to help you, so this matter was done."
Shang Jingchuan hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed his hand very solemnly.
"Thank you!"
Zhao Ya smiled and stretched out his hand to help Shang Jingchuan, "There is no need to do this, since you plan to do something practical for the people, then I can still help with this little help." β
Shang Jingchuan didn't say anything more.
What happened today was a big shock to him, and he needed time to digest it, so he just nodded and went back.
After he left, Shang Luoluo stepped forward, looked Zhao Ya up and down, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that you should have gained a lot this time." β
Zhao Ya was slightly surprised, "Where did you see it?" I don't think I'm going to be that cityless. β
Zhao Ya thought that it was the expression on his face.
Shang Luoluo said with a smile: "It's not an expression, it's a feeling." β
Zhao Ya couldn't laugh or cry.
But I have to say that women's feelings are sometimes quite accurate.
"It's okay, just found some clues."
Zhao Ya didn't say that he was going to find the treasure, it wasn't that he didn't trust Shang Luoluo, but that things were done in secret, and the fewer people who knew about some things, the better.
"And when are you leaving?" Shang Luoluo was also very knowledgeable and didn't continue to ask deeply, but just asked when Zhao Ya would leave.
"Well, take care of the affairs of the capital, and then get ready to leave."
"Oh." Shang Luoluo's expression was a little gloomy.
Zhao Ya naturally couldn't take her with her, and after getting along for so long, he was naturally a little disappointed at first glance.
Zhao Ya naturally saw Shang Luoluo's depressed mood, so he said: "If this trip goes well, I will be able to come back in about a month and a half." β
Although Wanshou County is far away from Yandu City, with Zhao Ya's footsteps, if you go all out, you can reach it in ten days, plus the search for the treasure location and meet the old people of the Song family, twenty days is enough.
Combined with the return trip and the possible delay, a month and a half is a reasonable guess.
Of course.
This is based on the fact that everything is going well.
After all, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is extremely vast, and even if there is a map, it is not easy to find the location of the treasure.
Shang Luoluo didn't continue to dwell on this matter, and after dinner, he went back to the house with Zui'er.
Zhao Ya began to practice in the backyard.
The box of black Jiao jerky sent by Yunyuan before had been wiped out by Zhao Ya, and the result was that Zhao Ya's realm was completely stable.
Although I don't have the feeling that I am getting stronger every moment when I first broke through, the whole person is much more solid.
After practicing the eight Vajra Longevity Exercises, Zhao Ya punched again and practiced the knife technique, and then flew out and went to Mo Qi's small courtyard.
As soon as I landed, I heard the melodious sound of erhu in the house.
Zhao Ya didn't bother, but walked into the house silently.
At this time, Mo Qi was half-lying on the bed shaking his head and listening, and opposite him, Rao Mingyue was sitting on a chair and engrossed in pulling the erhu.
Zhao Ya found a seat and sat down, listening quietly.
This Rao Mingyue's erhu is quite hot, at least it sounds very good to Zhao Ya.
Finally, the song ended.
Rao Mingyue put down her erhu with a little weakness, and asked cautiously, "Master, how is it?" β
"Well, at your current level, that's pretty good."
Then he looked at Zhao Ya, "Why are you so free today, come to me?" β
"What do you call this, figure it out if it's good or not, I rented this yard." Zhao Ya complained.
"Hehe, since I live there, it's mine." Mo Qi grinned, and then pointed at Rao Mingyue.
"What do you think of the tune he just played?"
"It's good."
"It's really good, but do you know how long he's been practicing?"
"For how long?"
"Three days!"
Mo Qi said with a sad and indignant face: "Damn, I practiced this piece for three months, but it turned out that people learned it in three days, how big is the gap." β
"But one thing, this kid's talent in erhu is so amazing, but his talent in martial arts is a mess."
"I've been practicing a simple boxing technique for a month and still losing three or four, what kind of thing is this, you say."
Mo Qi complained fiercely, and Rao Mingyue's face was red, and he hurriedly found an excuse to escape.
After he left, Mo Qi dissipated his anger, and then asked, "Say, what's the matter with this time?" β
"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing to do?" Zhao Ya said with a smile.
"Come on, I don't believe you're that kind." Mo Qi said.
"Hehe, there is really one thing, that is, I am going to go out for a long time in the past few days, but at the same time, I am a little relieved to be at home, so I hope you can help me keep an eye on it during this time." Zhao Ya said very seriously.
Mo Qi was a little surprised, but he didn't ask where Zhao Ya went, but just said, "I remember that you don't have a good relationship with Wang Tiancheng of the Golden Sword Academy, why don't you go to him?" β
"I'll naturally say something about him, but he has too many affairs, and he can't always keep an eye on it, you're different, anyway, you're idle at home, just help me with this." Zhao Ya said with a smile.
Mo Qi was also happy, "It's a sin to be idle at home together, right?" β
"It's not for you to make a move, two thousand taels of golden tickets after the matter is completed." Zhao Ya is now quite wealthy, so he naturally doesn't care about this money.
"Actually, I also think it's a bit boring to be idle at home, so it's better to go out and move your muscles." Mo Qi immediately changed his words.
Zhao Ya couldn't cry or laugh.
This Mo Qi is good, but sometimes he is greedy for money.
However, Zhao Ya could also see that he should be doing this for the newly harvested Rao Mingyue.
"Actually, you don't have to work too hard, just stare at some secretly, if you encounter trouble that can't be solved, you can go to the Golden Knife Courtyard for help, and I will let them help." Zhao Ya was not at ease, and carefully admonished again.
Mo Qile was happy, "It looks like you're really worried." β
"It's always good to be careful."
"Okay, don't worry, I have my own measure."
After coming out of Mo Qi, Zhao Ya went to the Golden Sword Courtyard non-stop, and after seeing Wang Tiancheng, he roughly explained the meaning.
Wang Tiancheng naturally agreed, but he couldn't help but ask.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what are you going to do? So much so cautious? β
"Of course, I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that if you have any problems that are difficult to solve, you can say it, and my Golden Sword Academy will definitely help."
Since Yu Dao and Yan Ruize told the story of their friendship with Zhao Ya in front of the dean of the Golden Sword Academy and the elders.
Wang Tiancheng not only won the unanimous praise of everyone, but also received a rich reward.
Therefore, Wang Tiancheng attached great importance to Zhao Ya's words.
Zhao Ya smiled and shook his head, "No need, I went out this time to solve some personal matters, but the distance is relatively far away, and there is not much danger." β
"That's good!"
In this way, Zhao Ya arranged things properly, and then began to buy the materials needed on the road.
This time I went to Wanshou County because of the tight time, so I naturally couldn't take a horse-drawn carriage like when I came to Yandu City before.
Zhao Ya had to hurry with all his might, which required him to bring a good supply of supplies.
And just when he was in full swing of preparations, Yun Yuan suddenly came to the door.
"Huh? Your old man wants to see me and Uncle Shang? Zhao Ya was a little surprised.
"Yes."
Then Yunyuan said helplessly: "Actually, my grandfather wanted to see you long ago, but he never had the opportunity, I don't know what happened in the past two days, so I have to invite you to come over." β
Zhao Ya hesitated slightly, then nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go with you."
Shang Jingchuan did not refuse after learning the news.
In fact, he had great respect for the old man of the Yun family, Yun Jixiu, the former prime minister of Dayan.
He originally planned to visit him after coming to Yandu City, but he was entangled in various trivial matters later, and in the end he couldn't make the trip.
Now that people are invited, Shang Jingchuan has no reason to refuse.
The two followed Yun Yuan to the Yun family.
Yun Yizhi, the uncle of the Yun family, and Yun Shenzhi, the second master, all greeted them in front of the door, and when they saw the two of them coming, they hurriedly welcomed them into the inner courtyard.
After seeing this legendary figure of the Yun family, the old prime minister of Dayan, Zhao Ya didn't feel anything, and Shang Jingchuan's face was already red with excitement.
"Student Shang Jingchuan, I've seen Yun Lao."
Shang Jingchuan claimed to be a student, which was the greatest respect for Yun Jixiu.
Hearing this, Yun Jixiu, who was always drowsy on weekdays, couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, I like that, please take a seat."
After Shang Jingchuan and Zhao Ya sat down, someone brought refreshments, and the three of them chatted while drinking.
But after just a few words, Yun Jixiu got to the point.
"I also heard about the incident in Jingzhao Mansion the day before yesterday, it was really a big deal, it should be from Zhao Shaoxia's hand."
Zhao Ya didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Actually, it's not my handwriting, I just spread the news, and then guide it a little, and the rest are the spontaneous actions of the people." β
Yun Jixiu clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this, "This is true, if it weren't for the late news I knew at the time, otherwise I would have to go over and join in this excitement." β
Zhao Ya's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
Yun Jixiu's words can be described as profound.
Because this is clearly expressing support for Shang Jingchuan.
Combined with his invitation to himself and Shang Jingchuan to come over, Zhao Ya already had a plan in his heart.
Sure enough, soon Yun Jixiu's words turned around.
"I know everything that happened in Yandu City during this time, and it also makes me feel a lot of emotion."
"When I was the prime minister, the situation had not collapsed to this point, but I didn't expect that in just a few years, the people would already look like this."
"So Jingchuan, you, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, have done a good job, and you can be regarded as giving our Dayan officials a long face, but do you know how many people in the court are staring at you now?"
Shang Jingchuan is not a fool.
He was just a little pedantic and naΓ―ve before.
Now, with the broadening of his horizons, he also understands many things.
He naturally knows his current position in the court and the situation he is facing.
"Well, I noticed it."
"Now that you are in the two important positions of Pingzhangshi and Jingzhao Mansion Yin, the Wei family and other wealthy families will definitely regard you as a thorn in the flesh, and now they just haven't made a move against you yet, once they do, it will be extremely dangerous."
Yun Jixiu has been in the officialdom for half his life, and he naturally analyzes the stakes very accurately.
Shang Jingchuan said with an awe-inspiring face: "I naturally understand this, but since I took over the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, I have put life and death aside. β
"Confused!" Yun Jixiu slapped the table, shook his head and sighed.
"Now that Qingliu like you in Da Yan is almost dead, if you don't cherish your life anymore, but use your head to fight with those rotten people, you have all your integrity, but isn't Da Yan even more hopeless?"
Shang Jingchuan was stunned, "But, what can I do?" β
Yun Jixiu smiled, "Although my Yun family has declined now, with the old man's old face, he can still have a little thin face, as long as you are willing, my Yun family is willing to help you with all your strength." β
"So what do you mean?"
Unexpectedly, Shang Jingchuan didn't immediately agree when he heard this, but was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "What is the premise?" Or what do I have to give? Do you want to join the Yun family? β
Yun Jixiu laughed, "There is no premise, and you don't need to pay anything, let alone you join the Yun family." β
"I know what you're thinking, I'll tell you the truth, my Yunji cultivation is enough until now, before I died, I saw Dayan fall to this point, my mood can be imagined, although I also know that the building will fall, not I can save it by myself, but I have to try."
"My two sons have mediocre qualifications, but you are not, you have ideals and ambitions, and I saw my shadow from you, so I want to help you."
"Just for peace of mind."
