Chapter 44: Treasure Hunting
Seeing that the auction was finally over, Fang Zhongjin naturally found nothing. Ning Wang Zhu Quan still stuffed the dim wooden box in Fang Zhongjin's hand. He said: "Since the little brother has nothing to fancy today, it is only fitting that this sword is presented to you." I'm not a martial arts practitioner either, and it's a pity that the sword is in my hands. Little brother, don't dislike it, please accept it. ”
Seeing that Fang Zhongjin was about to excuse himself, he straightened up his face and said, "This king has never broken his word. What, is the little brother trying to trap this king in injustice?"
Fang Zhongjin didn't dare to refuse, and honestly accepted the wooden box.
Zhu Quan said to Fang Zhongjin again: "This knife is shorter than other swords, and it is originally good for sticking to the flesh for self-defense." However, according to legend, this knife is highly poisonous, so you need to be careful when using it. ”
Fang Zhongjin's eyes lit up and said, "No wonder the prince calls him the Cold Moon Knife. Sure enough, it was a poison blade. ”
Zhu Quan saw that Fang Zhongjin knew the goods, and felt that this knife was not buried when he gave it to him. It turns out that the cold moon blade is said to have been cast by Mrs. Xu during the Warring States Period, this knife is cold, and it is said that anyone who is injured by the cold blade will freeze their blood. Later, this knife was obtained by the royal family of Yan Kingdom, and skilled craftsmen were sent to quench poison on the knife repeatedly, and finally King Yan gave this knife to Jing Ke and asked him to assassinate King Qin. Although the assassination was unsuccessful, the name of the Poison Blade Cold Moon Knife has been left in the history books since then.
Fang Zhongjin got this knife, and the value was not lower than that of Western wine, which shows that Zhu Quan's sincerity is extraordinary. Fang Zhongjin was a little ashamed in his heart, he was just a nobody, pretending to be a pawn with the reputation of the Wudang Sect. This act is no different from swagger. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly bowed deeply to Zhu Quan and said: "The prince is so loving, he can't repay him in his later life." If there is a place for the late life, the later life must go to the soup and the fire. ”
When Zhu Quan saw Fang Zhongjin's move, he suddenly became puzzled. The young man in front of him was reserved and arrogant all night. Originally, it was not surprising that young people had such a temper, and Zhu Quan didn't take it seriously. But now that he suddenly bowed to himself, he seemed to be extremely sincere, and seemed to be both moved and grateful. Zhu Quan didn't delve into the changes, he Zhu Quan was rich and powerful, where would there be a place where this young man needed help? He smiled and said a few polite words to Fang Zhongjin, and personally sent them out of the first floor of the sky.
Fang, Lu, and Ji were not idle after leaving the first floor of Tianyi. Their excited Zhu Gaocan took pictures of the wine, not for nothing. Instead, he saw that Zhu Gaocan was stupid, and the entourage of bodyguards he usually brought was also quite lame. They are the perfect people to deliver their wines. Now that Zhu Gaocan has spent a high price to bring the wine out of Ningwang Villa, then they can take the wine honestly and unceremoniously without scrupulousness. With Zhu Gaocan's ability, he can't resist. After the autumn, she couldn't figure out who to settle accounts with. The three of them immediately contacted the rest of the brocade guards who were on standby elsewhere, and took turns to keep an eye on Zhu Gaocan's movements.
Finally, on the second day, Zhu Gaocan sat in his carriage and swayed towards his fiefdom. Four retinues in the front and four on horseback followed. He sat alone in the spacious carriage, looking at the three bottles of wine that he had bought for 300,000 taels of silver, which were exactly 100,000 taels of silver, and he couldn't even distinguish the taste in his heart. After a while, he finally exhaled and said as if comforting himself: "This is a good Western wine, and I have captured a real treasure this time." ”
The carriage was driving on a remote hill, Zhu Gaocan suddenly felt a shock to the body, he fell forward, and hurriedly used his hands to protect the wine box. After stabilizing his body, Zhu Gaocan stretched his head out of the curtain and cursed, but saw that the reins of the two horses were somehow broken, and the two horses each neighed in one direction and galloped away. The groom held the broken reins in his hand and was speechless. He looked around again, but it turned out to be a group of fierce warriors riding horses in a circle. These warriors were all dressed in dark clothes, their faces were masked, and they exuded a murderous aura all over their bodies, and they knew at a glance that they were robbers on the road.
Zhu Gaocanxin said that his eight subordinates were all masters who were invited at a great price, and they still had a chance of winning against the little thieves in the mountains and wilderness. hurriedly shouted to the bodyguard: "What are you still looking at, hurry up and destroy these thieves." As he spoke, he hurriedly retracted his head back into the carriage and stayed. Sure enough, there was a sound of blades handing outside, and after a while, it gradually stopped, and it was replaced by a wail of falling to the ground. Zhu Gaocan's heart said no, these wailing voices seemed to be made by his own subordinates, he didn't expect this group of wastes to be so pustuated, how can he call the master now? He didn't dare to speak out at the moment, he only hugged his head and shrank in the carriage trembling.
Finally, the carriage curtain was lifted by a big knife, and a fierce masked man stretched his head in, and said to Zhu Gaocan in the car: "If you want to live, get out of the car and squat." The man's voice was hoarse, as if he was speaking with his voice suppressed. How could Zhu Gaocan have thought of this, he had also heard of the rules on the road, as long as he was willing to give money, he could save his life, and hurriedly shouted in a trembling voice: "A good man spares his life, I am willing to give money, but I don't have half a tael of silver on me at the moment." Believe me. If you are willing to spare me, please leave the name of the cottage, and as soon as I go home, I will send someone to send 50,000 taels of silver to the eldest brother to spend. ”
These words caused a group of people around them to look up to the sky and laugh. The man with the knife and the curtain laughed and scolded: "Are you as stupid as you are?
Zhu Gaocan hurriedly shook his hand and said, "The king spares his life, I don't mean that at all." It doesn't mean that at all. In order to buy wine, he had already spent all the silver on his body, and he still owed King Ning 50,000 taels at the moment. I was really afraid that if I couldn't get the silver, I would be killed by these thieves.
Another man on the side said, "Isn't there a carriage without money?" I think this carriage is also very beautiful, and I will bring it back to the eldest lady as a pergola. The crowd burst into laughter again.
Zhu Gaocan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said loudly: "Take the carriage, a few masters, please take the carriage." The carriage was also of good quality, and was worth two thousand taels of silver. ”
The man with the knife scolded with a smile: "How can there be such an expensive carriage, are you really a few gentlemen who are mountain artillery?" But he still forced Zhu Gaocan to jump out of the carriage with a knife. Several of his subordinates hurriedly tied him firmly with ropes. He also covered his eyes with rags and gagged his mouth. The other eight bodyguards and a coachman all did the same. These people are sharp and sophisticated, and they are obviously often engaged in the work of tying people up. When they had cleaned up, the men tied the cage of the carriage to their horses. After a while, a group of people disappeared like the wind. Zhu Gaocan and a few people were left in this place, and they were tied into pork belly dumplings, and their mouths were still trying their best to let out a whining and mournful sound. The mountain breeze that I was waiting for was cold, and finally I couldn't move. He also cursed the eighteenth generation of the bandit's ancestor a few rounds in his heart.
