Chapter 3 Fortune Plan (I)

The cave was cool and dry, as big as two halls, and in the middle there were forty thick sandalwood boxes, and Yelu said, "You can open the box and watch." Forty boxes were unlocked, and Luo Tianchu tried to open one of them, only to find that the lid was heavy, and the tentacles were sticky and wet, as if they had been coated with oil to protect the boxes. When the box was fully opened, a precious light rose from inside, and everyone's eyes lit up, and there was a box full of pearls. Each one is the size of a dragon's eye, and it is the best, exuding a peaceful but seductive light in the light of countless night pearls. Everyone was speechless in shock, and the Xiao brothers also stared.

Yeluying smiled and said, "Pearls are nothing, please take a look at this." As he spoke, he opened a box next to him, and everyone came up to take a look, and it was full of jade objects, including jade lions, jade fans, jade wrenches, jade chains, jade bracelets, jade leaves, jade gold hairpins, jade short swords, and many more unnamed, and a cloud of turquoise light rose in the cave. Yeluying pointed to the dozens of boxes next to him and said: "There are three or four boxes of such pearls and jadeite, and the rest are jade and gemstones, you can enjoy them slowly." Luo Tianchu said: "What are the other boxes in?" Ye Luying pointed to the pile of boxes in the middle and said, "This is what you need the most, open it and take a look." ”

Luo Tianchu came to the front and found that the material of these boxes was stronger and heavier than the jewelry, he opened one casually, and a dark luster shot out of the box, although it was not as dazzling as the jewelry, but it was full of gold bars two fingers wide and one finger thick, and it was heavy in his hand, not to mention that there were 20,000 taels in a box. No matter how dazzling a piece of jewelry is, it is not as reliable as gold, which can be circulated at any time, but it is not easy to sell a box of jewelry. Luo Tianchu counted a total of thirty boxes of gold, that is, 500,000 taels of gold, equivalent to four million taels of silver, equal to the taxes of the three provinces when the Song Dynasty was strong, as long as it can be transported back to Guanzhong, all difficulties can be solved, and his heart is ecstatic.

The only one who was unmoved was Liu Shaoqing, who always kept a distance from the treasure and didn't look at it. When he was six years old, he went into the city with his servants to look at the lanterns, and when he returned, he found five taels of silver at the gate of the city. He didn't think much about it before he put it up. When he returned home, his father severely punished him, and made him face the wall for three days without eating or drinking. The reason is very simple, not to mention a mere five taels of silver, even if it is full of gold, it is not worthy of the swordsman to bend down to pick it up, because the swordsman's spine is always straight. Money and power are like water to a swordsman, who needs but never indulges in it.

What about women? Liu Shaoqing once asked his father, can there be a woman in the life of a swordsman? Father's answer is also very simple, money and women are just tools, the former is a tool in life, the latter is a tool for inheritance, nothing more. Therefore, Sword Qi Villa has always been a single line, and after giving birth to a boy, the woman's task is over. Liu Shaoqing almost never lived with his mother, and his father thought that maternal love would make men weak, and only occasionally saw his mother at the family banquet during the holidays, and it was only a superficial conversation. Liu Shaoqing had long been accustomed to this concept, and it was not until she met Ling Xue'er in Yanjing that she had a new feeling for women. Although there are only a few faces, Ling Xue'er has taken root in his heart. The relationship is incomprehensible, he doesn't know how many beauties he has seen, and there are also those who are not inferior to Ling Xue'er, but he doesn't have any eyes, but Ling Xue'er is difficult to let go, people like him will never fall in love with someone easily, but once they fall in love, it is a love that is rotten in the sea. Love did not make him weak, but made him more motivated and motivated.

When he learned that Ling Xue'er liked Luo Tianchu, he was not jealous, because his understanding of love has reached a very high level like swordsmanship, love does not have to be possessed, let alone reciprocated, paid love is not worthy of being called love. He wanted to keep this relationship in his heart for the rest of his life, but when Luo Tianchu agreed to get engaged, he finally couldn't bear it, because he saw that there were many things in Luo Tianchu's heart that were far more important than Xue'er, and Xue'er would be heartbroken when he learned about it, and he was willing to take responsibility for Luo Tianchu for Xue'er to the end, not to take advantage of people's danger, but just for Xue'er's sake.

Liu Shaoqing did not forget the purpose of this trip, and asked Yelu Ying: "Is there a sword in the treasure?" Yelu Ying: "What sword? Is it a jade sword or a white jade sword? Liu Shaoqing said: "It's a three-foot-three-inch long sword." The blade is made of deep-sea ice iron, with a black sheath and a black handle. Yeluying pointed to the corner and said, "That's the box for antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and there are a few ancient swords, so the owner might as well take a look." Liu Shaoqing stepped forward to open the box one by one, and the antique calligraphy and paintings inside were not looked at until the fourth box was opened, and it was filled with ancient swords, most of these swords have a history to check, not which king's sword, or which famous man's weapon, some are luxurious and extravagant, only the scabbard is inlaid with seventy-two black pearls, thirty-six white pearls, and some of the hilts are made of white jade and gold, and the sword blade is also the best fine iron.

Liu Shaoqing's eyes lit up, and he carefully picked up an ancient long sword with a black sheath and loose pattern, the word 'ruthless' was engraved on the sword, which didn't seem amazing, but with a dragon chant out of the sheath, the room suddenly flashed with a cold light, only to see the sword blade icy bright, and the faint blue light was like the clear moon in the water pattern, appearing and disappearing. Everyone praised: "Good sword!" Liu Shaoqing stroked the blade of the sword, his eyes showed a look of relief, and then he put the sword back into the sheath and said: "This is the ancestral sword of the family, I only take this one thing." Luo Tianchu said: "If we don't have the help of the owner, we can't find these treasures, and please accept another box of gold." Liu Shaoqing said lightly: "I don't want it." Luo Tian knew what he wanted, so he didn't let him go any more.

After the joy, an important question is in front of us, how to transport so many treasures? It is absolutely not enough to rely on a few carriages, this is the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, and there are countless towns and cities of the Jin Kingdom along the way, even if you can get lucky enough to return to Guanzhong, a few carriages will not be able to carry these many treasures, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to transport them back, how can such a large-scale operation be quiet, not to mention that it is still under the nose of Wanyan Wushu.

Li Xiao saw Luo Tianchu's thoughts and asked, "Is the castle master worried about the matter of transporting treasures?" Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Yes, there is no perfect plan for the time being. Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "It takes a lot of manpower to transport the treasure, and if we do it ourselves, it will only alarm the Jin people, so the person who does this must have nothing to do with us." And it can be used to transport goods on a large scale. Luo Tianchu's eyes lit up, and he said in unison: "Dart game!" Li Xiaodao: "All dart bureaus have Jin Guo's customs clearance documents, and Jin Bing will not embarrass the dart car for no special reason, and he will not open the box to check." Zhu Yushi said: "The idea is good, but only the big dart game has this ability, and it must be trustworthy and dare to take risks." Luo Tianchu said: "I heard that some darts can receive dark darts, and the dart board will not ask what the goods are, only responsible for transportation, and the price is just twice as much."
