Chapter 439: The Goal is Zongxin
Rugu Temple
The temple was in shambles, scorched by the flames, and covered with corpses. In the midst of the corpse, three people were holding several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, discussing how to distribute them.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "But TM is tired of me, and I haven't slept well recently." All seven robbers' dens were wiped out by us, and not a single one of these robbers was dead. Gao Huaide, have you found the heirloom?"
Gao Huaide shook his head, he had searched in these boxes several times, but he had never found his family heirloom. Although he always thought that the treasure was here, it was reasonable that he could not find it.
"There are seven robbers' dens of all the valuable things here, and you've searched each of them carefully, so you must have been sold. ”
"Perhaps. Gao Huaide said: "I didn't expect that the martial arts of this group of robbers were so poor, and my sister and brother-in-law died in their hands." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Maybe there are too many people, and no matter how powerful they are fighting alone, they can't do it." Not to mention...... According to you, your sister and brother-in-law's martial arts are not mixed. I guess I let them win with both hands and feet. ”
Gao Huaide glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, although he was very depressed, he was right, his sister and brother-in-law's martial arts are not bad to deal with ordinary people, but when they meet people who know a little bit of martial arts, plus there are too many people, it won't play a big role.
It's a pity, but that's the reality. In fact, Gao Huaide had already accepted the death of his sister and brother-in-law, and he just wanted to get back his family heirlooms. But unfortunately, it did not fall into the hands of the robbers, perhaps someone kept it and then sold it.
In any case, it is unlikely that the world will find that thing again, so I can only let it go.
"Gao Huaide, you have always wanted to find this treasure, what is it? It seems that it is not something that money can solve. He Meiyu has always been curious about this thing, and originally thought that as long as she found it, she would know it, so she never asked. But now all the robbers' dens have been destroyed by them, and they still haven't found the treasure in Gao Huaide's mouth, so they can only ask.
Gao Huaide said: "It's okay to tell you, it's actually a very special stone." This is what the ancestors picked up from the ruins when they saw the stars fall. Li Bai has a poem, 'If the sky doesn't love wine, the wine star is not in the sky.' 'Our heirloom is a celestial star, if we take the celestial star as a curvature......
"The stars are the songs, the springs make wine, and a pot of peerless wine can be brewed called 'drunk for a thousand years'. It's a pity that the strength of the wine is too strong, and there is a star as a koji, and the effect is extraordinary. Just drink one cup and you will be intoxicated for thousands of years. Zhao Kuangyin said: "I once heard someone mention this legend, and I didn't think that there was such a thing in the world...... Are there any characteristics of this celestial star?"
"There's nothing peculiar about it on the surface, it's just an ordinary stone. However, as long as a mortal holds it in his hand, it will have the meaning of drunkenness. Unless the person drinks an incredible amount of alcohol and will not get drunk no matter how much they drink, the mere fact of putting the stone on the body will reveal the filling. Gao Huaide is very confident in his family heirloom treasures, because this celestial star set off a bloody storm at the beginning, and many people paid for this celestial star.
In fact, the Gao family is not the original owner of this celestial star, the celestial star was very huge at the beginning, but it was drunk for thousands of years as koji, but a small piece of celestial star fell into the hands of the ancestors of the Gao family, they knew the preciousness of this thing, and they also knew how dangerous it was, so it was passed down from generation to generation and kept secret.
Zhao Kuangyin nodded, pulled his clothes tightly, and then said: "Although this thing is precious, it is actually useless, just forget it if you can't find it." Life has to be passed, what are the next plans?"
Gao Huaide pouted and said: "Actually, my revenge has been avenged, and I really don't know what to do after these robbers die." I used to want to follow my father, but the change of dynasty is faster than having children, and being an official is not a good thing, so I want to go to the rivers and lakes, and I don't know where to go. ”
"Brother Gao Xian has no goal now, but we two husbands and wives have something to do. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Brother Wei was originally entrusted by Master Zongxin to send a woman home, and he encountered trouble and delayed some time in the process, I thought I could go on the road, but you asked for help again, and now I have been delayed a lot of time, and I don't know how Zongxin is doing in the Khitan." I have to keep an eye on this shameless monk, you should have heard that this shameless monk is like a madman, if I don't stop him, maybe something will happen, so I have to go to the Khitan to go to the Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, let's divide the money and go on our own roads. ”
Gao Huaide said depressedly: "Are you going to be separated so soon? Brother Zhao's martial arts are very high, and his deeds are extraordinary, why don't I accompany you to the Khitan. ”
"No, no, the Khitan is too dangerous. Zhao Kuangyin persuaded: "You must know that the Khitans treat us Han people as pigs and dogs, and of course we Han people also treat them like this." It is very dangerous for a few Han people to go to the Khitan, not to mention the Khitan going to Beijing, even the sixteen states of Youyun are also very dangerous, there are Khitan soldiers fighting in the grass valley everywhere, if we dare to make a move, it will attract more troops, you are the only son of the King of Qi, and you must not be allowed to take risks. ”
"Brother Zhao underestimated me, didn't he? The younger brother will definitely take care of himself, not to mention that life and death are fate, let the younger brother accompany you crazy like this." ”
Zhao Kuangyin's face was a little unbearable, he really didn't want Gao Huaide to follow him, he had to find a way to take him away.
"Brother Gao Xian, you and I are good brothers and good friends. When Brother Wei returns to the Central Plains, he will definitely come to you. It's just that you still don't want to come on this Khitan trip. Count me as a brother, can I beg you? It's too dangerous. ”
"You look down on me? You think my martial arts are too low, and you're afraid of dragging you back, aren't you?" Gao Huaide said angrily: "If that's the case, our brother won't have to do it." ”
"I didn't mean that. ”
"That's for me to go?" Gao Huaide said: "Since Brother Zhao has agreed, the younger brother is not welcome." The younger brother of these money does not take a penny, and all of them are filial piety to the eldest brother. ”
"This one does. Zhao Kuangyin regretted it immediately after finishing speaking, the bad habits of the Zhao family, talking about money is too affectionate...... As long as the other party gives money, you can agree to anything. Although I want to regret it after I say yes, I'm really embarrassed to talk back about this kind of thing. If you want to say something important, after Zhao Kuangyin agreed, he immediately shook his head, but he just took him to the Khitan, and he was not responsible for life and death......
Gao Huaide is too upright, and too shameless. kept driving him away, but he didn't leave...... Why is that?
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Brother Gao Xian, why do you have to follow me to Khitan? By the way, if I go to other places, will you follow me too?"
Gao Huaide said: "That's not necessarily...... If Master Zongxin is in that direction, I will go. ”
"Oh~ It turned out to be for Zongxin. Can you tell me why?"
"Isn't this simple?" Gao Huaide said: "Brother Zhao, you have been following Master Zongxin for two years, and now the whole world knows that you are one of the richest people, and your martial arts were mediocre back then, but now you are a first-class master in the country, and if the younger brother wants to get ahead, of course he must go to Master Zongxin shamelessly, even if he drives and cooks for you, it is better than going home to be a little young master." ”
Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, count yourself honest." Although I feel a little upset about this, you are not lying. But this matter depends on Zongxin's meaning, if Zongxin is willing, I can't stop it, if he doesn't like you, it's useless for me to recommend it. ”
"Then there's Brother Lao. ”
"You're welcome, it's okay with me anyway, right? Zhao Kuangyin was really depressed in his heart, in fact, his current martial arts are already very good, but all the fame and fortune so far are Zongxin's, and they have nothing to do with him. Of course, Zhao Kuangyin can also understand this matter, because the ideas are all from Zongxin, and his martial arts are a little higher than his own.
said that the two of them traveled the world together, but Zhao Kuangyin's role was to run errands and occasionally help fight. Zhao Kuangyin didn't have much independent thought, basically just executed Zongxin's orders. Only the time when he accompanied Chai Rong to guard Tongguan was that he was using his brain.
Zongxin is indeed amazing, and Zhao Kuangyin feels that he still has a great dependence on Zongxin. However, Zhao Kuangyin also knew the reason why Zong Xin did this. Zong Xin actually wanted to assist himself in ascending the throne and becoming emperor, but if a person was too sharp, he would naturally attract the attention of others, so Zong Xin let him be too sharp and focus all his attention on him.
Zhao Kuangyin knew that this was Zongxin's trick. Zong Xin did this, and no one noticed the little person Zhao Kuangyin who had been staying by his side, although this name is also very loud in today's rivers and lakes, but almost all of them are behind Zong Xin, so it is far better to be hidden than to be obscure.
has been together for two years, and Zhao Kuangyin has also seen his own growth, but these growth are all under Zongxin's arrangement. Just like this time, he deliberately gave himself a problem and escorted Jing Niang home. Although the matter of sending Jingniang for thousands of miles has brought him a lot of trouble, he has won the heart of a peerless beauty, and has learned a peerless divine skill, and this is still the Quartet Rulai Divine Skill used by the first step to the sun today.
Zongxin must have calculated that there were these things, so he asked himself to escort Jingniang home. All this was arranged by Zong Xin, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, Zhao Kuangyin knew that Zong Xin had never harmed himself, and he had been helping himself.
The unhappy mood can be soothed by arguing with Zong Xin or even fighting, but Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know how to repay the gratitude. Zongxin has always helped himself like this, if he can't successfully ascend the throne and become emperor, then I'm sorry for Zongxin's efforts over the years.
