Chapter Fifty-Eight: Mission is Command

"Senior brother, what are you looking for?"

Shen Yi looked at Ding Ning, who was squatting down, carefully looking at the traces between the bricks and tiles, and even sniffing some smells, and couldn't help but ask softly.

Since Zhou Yuan, he knew that his senior brother, who was born in the market, could not be inferred by common sense, and he began to enter this Liling Monarch's Mansion perhaps just to find some clues about cultivation, after all, the Minshan Sword Society was imminent, and in his opinion, everything Ding Ning did was for the Minshan Sword Society.

However, after walking in the Liling Monarch's Mansion for several days in a row, staying for a long time every day, Shen Yi felt more and more that what Ding Ning was doing had nothing to do with cultivation, especially at this moment, Ding Ning's actions seemed to be investigating the case.

Ding Ning's brows were deeply locked, he didn't answer Shen Yi's question for the first time, there was some dust stuck to his fingers, kneaded it carefully, and then he stood up from between the broken walls and broken tiles, looked at Shen Yi and said: "Your family is a wealthy family in Guanzhong, you should know more about the cost of this kind of mansion than me, you have followed me to see this Liling Jun's Mansion many times these days, do you think such a mansion, so many guests, how much does it cost on weekdays?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and replied: "According to this housing system, with such a large population, the cost is too large, and you have to calculate it carefully to estimate it, senior brother, what are you doing here?"

Ding Ning still didn't answer his question, but said: "Liling Jun only came to Changling as a Chu proton in the third year of Yuanwu, although this Liling Jun Mansion has been expanding intermittently in nine years, but it has finally formed this appearance. ”

"Senior brother, do you mean that Lilingjun's wealth is too bizarre?" Shen Yi finally came to his senses.

Changling is more luxurious than Liling Junfu, and there are many mansions that cover a wider area, but those mansions are the accumulation of many years, or some people who built those mansions, before the mansions were built, they were accumulated for many years in Changling.

However, if the previously intact Liling Monarch's Mansion was completely converted into gold and silver and piled up in front of you, then these gold and silver appeared in a few years.

When I think about it, what I see in the streets and alleys these days is not gorgeous. But the materials used are extremely delicate and extravagant, and Shen Yi can't help but think of what an amazing mountain of gold and silver it will be if the previously intact Liling Monarch's Mansion is converted into gold and silver piles in front of him.

"Previously, the vast majority of people in this Chu Proton Mansion Mausoleum had never entered, and even if they entered, it was difficult to look deeply, but now they have seen it thoroughly. Some super-rich families are swollen and fat, spending money on the outside, and winning fame, but the inside of the home is extremely simple, the visible places are bright, and the invisible places can be saved. Ding Ning glanced at Shen Yi. Said: "Lilingjun is famous for his boldness and gold, and Corporal Lixian, but you and I have been in this Lilingjun Mansion for a few days, but we can see that he is really the same as he looks, in short, he is really rich." ”

"It is impossible for Emperor Chu to let him bring out so much money, if he is willing to let him bring such a huge sum of money to Changling, Emperor Chu will not let him be a proton. After a pause, Ding Ning looked at Shen Yi and said in an accentuated tone: "If it is said that it has been funded by a certain wealthy family... This time take such a huge sum of money. None of them can afford it. ”

Shen Yi took a deep breath, was a little shocked, and said heavily: "Yes, it takes a few years to come up with such a huge amount of money at once." It is impossible for even the Xie family to take it out, unless they use their ancestral property, but if it is not difficult to sustain it in the year of the catastrophe, who will use their ancestral property?"

Ding Ning said: "There is still a kind of person who will use ancestral property. For example, if there is a catastrophe, there is no family left. ”

"I've already suffered a catastrophe, and my home doesn't exist?" Shen Yi's eyes widened involuntarily. "You mean the old magnates?"

Ding Ning nodded.

Shen Yi looked at him in shock, "Which one can get such a huge amount of money?"

Ding Ning stretched out his hand and put the fingers of his thumb and index finger facing upwards and placed them in front of him.

In the sunlight, Shen Yi saw a very faint layer of fluorescence on his fingertips.

It is impossible for ordinary people to see what kind of fluorescence this is, but Shen Yi knows it.

It's pearlescent.

Gold and silver were too space-consuming and heavy, and it was easy to be seen if they were carried by a convoy, so the great wealth of Great Qin generally liked to exchange gold and silver for pearls and precious stones.

A high-grade pearl is worth 10,000 gold, and the weight is not heavy, especially the pearl grinding powder, not only for beauty and beauty, but also for the Changling powerful women, and even for the cultivators have a certain nourishing effect.

Therefore, among the jewels, the magnates of Changling are especially fond of pearls.

The real rich family of the country, the treasure house of the family, is not gold and silver, but pearls.

Only when there are many pearls to a certain extent, when the pearls are carried and grind each other, they will leave very fine beads in some blooming things or in the corners of the ground walls.

"Lu family!"

Shen Yi himself learned the answer, looked at Ding Ning in shock and said.

Among the old magnates in Changling, only the Lu family has such amazing wealth.

"When the Lu family was destroyed, although an amazing family property was copied, the legendary ancestral library was not found. Ding Ning looked at Shen Yi and nodded.

Shen Yi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and muttered, "It's actually because of the support of the Lu family, but senior brother, you spent so much effort, is it just to find out the backers behind Lilingjun?"

Ding Ning was silent for a moment and said, "This will have a lot to do with in the future." ”

Shen Yi couldn't understand, in his opinion, even if the Lu family colluded with Lilingjun, but Lilingjun had already returned to the Great Chu Dynasty, and in the future, Lilingjun would become the emperor of Great Chu, even if it had a relationship, it was related to the saint and those princes, and what did it have to do with Ding Ning?

"Someone is coming. ”

Ding Ning didn't explain too much, he turned around and looked behind him.

Shen Yi didn't care about it originally, this Liling Jun's Mansion seemed to have become a material repository for countless people around at the moment, and there were countless people walking in and out every day, he could imagine that in the future, many houses in Changling would even have wood and stone from Liling Jun's Mansion on the courtyard walls.

However, when his gaze fell on Ding Ning's gaze, his body was unconsciously slightly shocked.

He saw a young man.

The young man's clothes and body looked unusually clean, but he felt very dusty.

And he could be sure that this young man was a cultivator, and he was definitely a cultivator many times stronger than him and Ding Ning.

And the young man's countenance was unusually calm and solemn.

Looking at Ding Ning and Shen Yi's gaze towards him, the young man bowed deeply to Ding Ning, but did not say a word.

Ding Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had seen many such solemn looks, so he could immediately sense the special meaning in this young man.

"You know me?" he asked, looking at the young man.

The young man slowly raised his body and said respectfully, "Aries Cave Ding Ning." ”

Ding Ning looked at him and asked, "What are you looking for me?"

The young man still said respectfully: "I am entrusted by someone, can I talk to you alone?"

Ding Ning frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, nodded very simply, and said, "Okay." ”

Then he walked to the secluded ruined house on one side.

This young man is naturally Li Yunrui, seeing Ding Ning's bearing, his eyes instantly flashed with a strange light, and the moment he followed Ding Ning into the uninhabited house, he took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Ding Ning.

Ding Ning's brows furrowed a little deeper.

He looked at a square object about a foot long wrapped in the most ordinary coarse cloth in Li Yunrui's hand and asked, "What is this?"

Li Yunrui looked at the clean and solemn eyebrows of this young man in Changling City, shook his head, and said: "I don't know what it is, I just want to put this thing in your hands Moreover, only me and you know this matter in this world, only I know that this thing has reached your hands." ”

Ding Ning groaned slightly, he didn't immediately take the thing in Li Yunrui's hand, but his perception gently penetrated into the texture of the coarse cloth and fell on the thing inside.

In the next moment, his eyes became more solemn.

"You don't know what's in there?"

He raised his head, looked at Li Yunrui, and asked this seriously.

Li Yunrui shook his head.

"Good. ”

Ding Ning nodded, took the thing wrapped in coarse cloth, and grabbed it in his hand.

Li Yunrui bowed deeply, didn't say a word, and turned to leave.

Ding Ning looked at the young man's back, and true respect began to appear in his eyes.

He knew that this young man was from Da Chu.

He also knew that it should be difficult to see this young man from Da Chu in the future

Li Yunrui walked out of the Liling Monarch's Mansion, and then slowly walked along the secluded streets and alleys towards the Wei River.

On the bank of the Wei River, he glanced in the direction of Lushan and Dachu, and then he calmly stepped into the slightly cool water.

When the river flooded his body, he slowly and gently released all the true yuan and heaven and earth yuan qi in his body, and then he closed his eyes as he thought about the spring blossoms in the alleys of Great Chu City, and threw himself into the darkness. (To be continued......)
