"Treasure?!" Diao Xiaosi's eyes sparkled, and his enthusiasm suddenly soared, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Where is it, how many?"
Li Shimin smiled and said nothing, Diao Xiaosi suddenly came to his senses, pretended to be rich and resolute, and said righteously: "Money, floating clouds." What I want is - there are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and everyone in the world is happy!"
"Good words!" Li Shimin clapped his hands and praised: "It is rare that Brother Diao has such a compassionate and chivalrous feeling, and the people of the world admire it very much. Listening to my father's words, this treasure is in a certain mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are no less than tens of millions of taels of silver in stock, in addition to armor, ordnance and a large number of antiques, calligraphy and painting jewelry that are enough to equip 30,000 elite soldiers, and even the immortal soldiers and magic treasures, elixirs and vast classics collected by the Southern Dynasties. β
Diao Xiaosi asked: "In this way, if you want to open the Great Chen Treasure, the key is in the few formations that Princess Jincheng asked me to crack?"
Li Shimin replied: "Brother Diao is really smart. There is a huge Qimen Dunjia formation prohibition inside and outside the Great Chen Treasure. If you can't crack the magic circle, even if you have the magic power to move mountains and seas, it will still be useless. At that time, His Majesty and his father once led 3,000 elite iron horsemen to circle around the periphery of the treasure for three days and three nights, trying all kinds of methods but finally returning in vain, and they couldn't even touch the entrance of the treasure. If there was a treasure map for breaking the formation at that time, everyone would not return empty-handed according to the map. β
Diao Xiaosi came back to his senses, and after making trouble for a long time, he dared to love Li Laoer's idea of playing the formation map.
He couldn't help but look at the seemingly elegant and handsome young man in front of him again, and thought: "Most of the formation diagram in the princess's little lady's hand was given to her by Yang Guang. Li Shimin, Li Yuan's father and son knew this, and they also asked Lao Tzu to help them steal the formation map, making it clear that they wanted to grab food and compete with the emperor Lao'er for treasures. β
It's just that Li Yuanguan was the official of the Tang Kingdom, and he wanted money, money, power, and power, and he was still thinking about what he was doing to grab the treasure with the emperor?
Thinking of this, Diao Xiaosi's heart jumped, and he secretly exclaimed: "Damn, could it be that Li Yuan's old white-faced Tang Guogong is tired of it, and he has also thought about being an emperor?"
His brain teaser was in a hurry, and he realized that a bamboo pole with a heavenly size took the initiative to send it to the door, and if he didn't knock it hard, he would be sorry for the heavens, earth, people and gods.
Diao Xiaosi was excited, and said slowly: "Don't hide it from the second son, I have all these formation diagrams in my mind, and I can draw them exactly on paper at any time." However, Princess Jincheng must have been on guard for a long time, so she deliberately disrupted the order of the formation diagrams, and the few pictures I have in my hands may not work. β
The excitement on Li Shimin's face flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "If Brother Diao can quietly copy all the formation cracking diagrams handed over to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I am willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to buy it!"
If he didn't know the secret of Da Chen's treasure, Diao Xiaosi would probably agree. But now that offer is clearly out of his sights. You must know that according to Li Shimin, there are tens of millions of taels of silver in Dachen's treasure alone, not counting those priceless jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, immortal soldiers, magic treasures, elixirs and other things.
Such a huge treasure, the array used to open it is only sold for 10,000 taels of silver, and it is too hard to pick the door!
ββDon't take bean bags for dry food, knowledge is strength, information is wealth, there is no Lao Tzu's picture, see which of you can get in?
Diao Xiaosi was ruthless in his heart and changed color: "Could it be that the second son thinks that a few stinky money can buy me Diao Xiaosi?"
Li Shimin was stunned, shook his head and said: "Brother Diao, don't be angry, I have no such intention, I just feel that this matter is extremely risky, and you must not be affected in vain." β
Diao Xiaosi waved his hand and said happily: "Who taught Xiaochai and me to be brothers? β
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly for a while: "Brother Diao, you are only one person, but I have the entire Tang State Mansion on my side......"
Diao Xiaosi had no fear, interrupted Li Shimin's words and said: "How many people can there be in the Tang State Mansion, and behind me can represent 60 million people of the Great Sui!"
Li Shimin was speechless, no matter how he looked at this kid, he didn't look like a representative of the 60 million Great Sui people, and he had no choice but to break the formation in the hands of others, even if it was said to represent hundreds of millions of people throughout the ages, he could only listen.
I saw Diao Xiaosi sad and said: "The second son grew up with a golden spoon, how do you know how miserable our people in Dasui are......? City, bad luck in a disaster year, even the bark and grass roots are not left, and when I am really hungry, I have to fill my stomach with soil. In some places, selling sons and daughters and wives is just to be able to exchange for a few mouthfuls of food. β
His voice was choked, and he said emotionally: "Those tens of millions of taels of silver may not be anything in the eyes of the second son, at most it is just the icing on the cake, build two more palaces, buy a few more beauties, and ride a boat to ride a horse and blow a and drink when there is nothing to do." But in exchange for so much silver, I don't know how many people in the world can be saved, so that they can eat their stomachs and wear warm clothes, and they will no longer suffer from slavery. β
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Brother Diao, Shimin is by no means a gentleman, and his father is not a hedonist. This treasure of the Great Chan ...... All the immortal soldiers and magic treasures, elixirs, and secret book collections are all yours, and how about adding another million taels of silver tickets?"
Diao Xiaosi said disapprerovingly: "These things can't be eaten as food, what should I do with them?" or let's change it, all the immortal soldier magic treasures, elixirs and secret books and classics will all belong to you, plus another 10 million taels of silver tickets." Second son, I'm generous enough to be a brother, right? As a man, you have to talk about your conscienceββ"
Li Shimin's head is bigger than two heads. He originally thought that Diao Xiaosi would not do anything more, and he would personally come forward to move with affection, know with reason, and induce him to benefit, and he could do it by dividing five by two. Where do you know that Diao Xiaosi does not play cards according to the regulations, and he is helpless to be pestered.
If you tell him about brotherhood, he will tell you about the people of the world, if you tell him about the people of the world, he will tell you about the real money, and if you tell him about the real money, he will talk to you about righteousness and conscience. In short, the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, for a while there is affection, righteousness, reasonableness and moderation, and for a while there is no skin, no face, no shame, and he is a villain.
Diao Xiaosi observed his words and looks, and knew that the heat was almost over, and if he really talked about it, he couldn't get the benefits, maybe the little white face was annoyed and embarrassed, and it wouldn't be fun to kill himself.
He smiled leisurely and said, "Second son, don't mind, I just wanted to joke with you." In fact, my brother understands that you don't just want this treasure to spend time and drink, you must have greater ambitions. β
Li Shimin was not shocked, but asked as usual: "According to what Brother Diao said, what is my ambition?"
"Rebel and be the boss. Diao Xiaosi muttered in his heart, but he was not stupid enough to say it out loud.
He laughed and said: "Naturally, you are a big official and make a lot of money, so it's best to mix up a horse master." To be honest, brother, I think so in my heart, but it's a pity that I don't have the heart of this thief but not the courage of that thief. β
Li Shimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What a thief, this kid speaks so impertinently." β
Diao Xiaosi said steadily: "A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and I am not difficult to be a second son." According to the price you opened before, add another three million taels of silver tickets. β
Li Shimin made a little calculation, lamenting that he had a bad year, and he actually bargained with a little scoundrel like a gangster, and said in a deep voice: "Two and a half million taels, this is the highest price I can give." β
Diao Xiaosi slapped the table and said, "Two million and five hundred and ten thousand taels, let's make a deal!"
Li Shimin said with a dry laugh: "Brother Diao, why do you care about this small amount of 10,000 taels of silver?"
Diao Xiaosi said solemnly: "Ten thousand taels is a small matter, and the loss of discipline is a big one." Lao Tzu can't do two hundred and five no matter what. β
Li Shimin finally couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Okay, this 10,000 taels will be paid by me personally." β
He took out a silver ticket from his cuff and put it on several cases and said, "This is a deposit, please accept it with a smile." β
Diao Xiaosi glanced at the silver ticket, the 500,000 taels of white flowers were dazzling, and he couldn't help but respect Li Shimin and said: "The second son is worthy of being a person who does great things. This handwriting, this courage, will be earned in the future for five million or fifty million taels of silver!"
He put away the silver ticket without shame and said, "I will draw out all the pictures of breaking the formation tonight, and ask the second prince to send someone to pick it up tomorrow morning." β
Li Shimin nodded, discussed the details with Diao Xiaosi for a while, and opened the door to see him off.
Diao Xiaosi greeted Chai Shao and Li Xiuning, and returned to the private room with a spring breeze, and saw Fang Xuanling chatting with an elegant-looking middle-aged scholar and was very happy.
Hou Junji introduced: "This is Mr. Du Ruhandu, the doorman of the Tang State Mansion. He happened to be drinking next door, and when he heard Xiaofang talk about His Majesty's three expeditions to Goryeo, he ran over on a whim. β
Wan'er asked, "Where have you been, and why did it take so long to come back?"
Diao Xiaosi smiled and said, "I talked about business to make money." β
Wan'er snorted, just as Diao Xiaosi was talking nonsense, maybe she was hooked by a beautiful woman downstairs.
Everyone chatted for a long time at the wine table, and did not disperse until late at night.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui hit it off at first sight, and the nerd had a fever attack and actually followed him home, saying that he wanted to sleep and talk all night.
Diao Xiaosi also let him go, and took Wan'er to the night market. Hou Junji was half the host, and he volunteered to be a guide for the two, but he hated Diao Xiaosi so much that his teeth itched.
I didn't want to go downstairs just now, but I met Chai Shao and said that he wanted to take him to a fun place.
A fun place? Diao Xiaosi's eyes lit up and he looked at Wan'er, expecting that the place was not suitable for girls.
It's a pity that Wan'er didn't understand the customs and enthusiastically signed up, saying that she wanted to see with her own eyes what was interesting in Taiyuan City.
Diao Xiaosi was helpless, and secretly sighed that God didn't open his eyes, with this girl everywhere, why don't you do anything?
