Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

It had little to do with the content of his answer. Yu Weishuang determined that he had a problem because of his inconsistent attitude.

Clearly, he had just been concise and to the point, and tried to say as few words as possible. But in the last question, he became more active and even made up an explanation out of nothing.

"Uncle Dashi is pretty lucky. He even has the chance to talk to the prince. Even my father has never seen someone of that status." Yu Weishuang said.

"How can I talk to the prince? I just heard the general idea from outside."

Of course Gu Yue couldn't admit it, Gu Xuke was right next to him, "He doesn't even know me."

"So that's how it is." Yu Weishuang nodded slightly.

She stopped asking and the atmosphere became awkward again.

"...I heard A Yan say that we will be passing through a town soon. What do you want to eat? We have been eating dry food for several days." Gu Yue took the initiative to say.

"It's all up to Uncle Dashi." Yu Weishuang did not refuse.

"What does Xiao Xu want to eat?" Gu Yue's main target was still Gu Xu.

Gu Xu shook his head.

"Look at me, I don't even know what's there. Come with me to take a walk around the town later." Gu Yue's tone became tougher, and he didn't give Gu Xu the right to choose.

"Okay." Gu Xu nodded and agreed. Yu Weishuang didn't object, she had a new plan in mind.

……

Near noon, the convoy arrived at a place called Cenzhuang Town.

Far away from the capital, the town has become significantly smaller in size. In short, it does not look as prosperous as Liuli Town.

Yu Weishuang was still wearing a veil and was accompanied by a maid; Gu Yue and Gu Xu were with her, and they also brought the steady Wu Yan with them to prevent any accidents.

"This town is so small." Gu Yue looked around. The town was almost as far as the eye could see. There were only a few scattered shops and not many food stalls.

"This place is quite far from the official road." Wu Yan replied, "No one usually comes here."

There were many tea stalls at the entrance of the official road, as well as a few post stations, but when the business was evenly divided, each one looked very bleak. Gu Yue looked around and found a noodle shop that looked clean and tidy...

There is no way, the climate in the Central Plains is not suitable for rice, and the staple food is still mostly millet and wheat. When Gu Yue worked in a restaurant, he learned that various types of noodles only flowed into the Central Plains from Chang'an in the northwest when the capital was moved during the previous dynasty.

It is indeed the Tang Dynasty. However, the original text does not mention the local diet. Perhaps after the novel formed a parallel world, various settings were naturally supplemented.

Gu Yue accepted these settings naturally.

But when he first came here, he still cared about the bag of rice at home...

Where did it come from?

He invited Wu Yan and the maid to sit down together, and they each ordered their favorite noodles. In fact, the variety was not as rich as that of modern noodle restaurants, only stewed noodles and dried noodles were available, and the taste was also fixed, similar to the stew made with eggplant, which tasted pretty good.

"Xiao Xu." Gu Yue took two bites and turned to look at Gu Xu.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xu looked much better, which was worthy of Gu Yue's attentiveness in talking to him along the way.

"Do you remember that we had half a bag of rice at home before? I think that stuff tastes good. Where did you get it from?" Gu Yue asked, and found a suitable excuse for himself.

Gu Xu paused.

Seeing him lost in thought, Gu Yue felt relaxed. If it had something to do with Gu Xu, then he didn't need to care so much.

"That bag of rice was brought back by Dad, and he never let me touch it." Gu Xu said, "Dad, don't you remember that it's your own stuff?"

"Oh..." Gu Yue's heart, which had been at ease, was lifted up again.

Did Gu Dashi bring it back by himself?

That was a kind of rice that was rarely available even in the grain shops of Liuli Town. Sushui County had been supplying it for a long time, but not many people liked to eat it, and it was a product from another place, so it was very expensive.

How could Gu Dashi bring back such a big bag?

There was no mention of Gu Dashi's favorite food in his memory. Gu Yue could tell what Gu Dashi liked, such as fresh and crisp cucumbers and beans, from the feeling of seeing those things, but not rice. To Gu Dashi, it was just the most ordinary food.

How could there be such a thing?

Gu Yue vaguely felt that this clue was very important, but he did not have enough reasons to convince himself.

Gu Xu watched Gu Yue's expression change and kept the matter of rice in mind.

"Have you heard? The tomb robbers from Ru County dug up something in Tongshan. It is said that it has something to do with King Shen from more than ten years ago!" The townspeople at the table on the side were talking to their friends.

Another person seemed very surprised: "Which Prince Shen, the one who was beheaded by the emperor for treason?"

"Yes, yes, it's him!" The townspeople nodded.

"What is that? Why does it sound so..."

"You are too out of date! The news has spread throughout the counties around here. It is said that what the group of people dug up is the legendary remains of King Shen. Now many people are rushing to Tongshan." said the townspeople.

Gu Yue's eyes lit up!

He quickly leaned over and said, "Brother, brother, what is the treasure of King Shen? What's going on? Treasure?"

Just as the townsman was about to speak, his companion pulled him back and asked, "What did you say to him?"

"Why can't we tell you? Who doesn't know about this?" The townspeople looked at him in surprise.

"Treasure! Isn't it better that the fewer people who know about it, the better?" his companion cursed him in a low voice.

Gu Yue immediately took out a dime and put it on the table: "I just want to listen for fun..."

The townspeople quickly took the money and said, "Sure, sure..." Then they turned to laugh at their friends, "What's the matter? Do you still want to join in the fun? With your tiny body, you can't even withstand a punch from the tomb robber."

"Tsk..." His friend rolled his eyes at him.

"Hey, don't you know about King Shen's treasure? Legend has it that it is the treasure left behind by King Shen before he passed away. It's a huge sum of money!" the townspeople laughed.

Gu Yue was excited. He knew, how could he not know!

This is the cornerstone of the male protagonist’s wealth!

With the help of the prince, Gu Xu found a huge fortune left by King Shen in a mountain with the Wumen secret guards in the early and middle stages of the story. Because of this fortune, Gu Xu had the capital to carry out activities in various parts of Northern Qin. It was also because of this fortune that Gu Xu took over all the industries of Hangdou Bookstore and used the public opinion situation for his own use. It was also because of this fortune that Gu Xu had the money to arm the Chaozhen Army, preparing a solid armed force for the prince's succession in the later period.

The most important thing!

We must help Gu Xu get it!

Gu Yue was a little anxious because he had just heard that King Shen’s relics were discovered by tomb robbers.

Gu Xu was eating noodles nearby, watching him chatting with the townspeople.

"A lot of money?" Gu Yue patiently guided the townspeople to reveal more information.

"Of course!" The townspeople drank a mouthful of noodle soup, their eyes sparkling. "It is said that those tomb robbers dug up some gold artifacts, and after selling them to the antique shop owner, they found out that they had the seal of King Shen on them. Now everyone in the surrounding area is alarmed, and people in the nearby villages are digging in the mountains day and night..."
