Fu Tang

Seeing Li Congjia's puzzled look, Shi Xueting didn't hold back any more, and said, "Eleventh Lang has obtained the Suzhou household registration."

Li Congjia's eyes widened suddenly: "How did he do it?"

"He opened a restaurant there."

Li Congjia: This kid is really... persistent.

Li Congjia once really wanted Yang Xin to open a restaurant or something like that. After all, it was a way of making a living, and he could still save some private money, but it has always been that the plan is not as fast as the change, and Yang Xin wants to be a rich man. His dream has never been realized, and he never thought that he would not give up on this dream even in the Western Regions.

Li Congjia was very curious about Yang Xin's ability to gain a firm foothold in Suzhou in such a short period of time.

Shi Xueting talked about it, and it can be summed up simply that food is something that people all over the world like. After observing for a period of time, he adjusted the recipes given to him by Li Congjia according to the tastes of the local people!

The most indispensable thing here in the Western Regions is probably all kinds of spices and jade. Here these things can be regarded as hard currency. Newcomers are not rejected. If you can use spices, you can also use jade. Even if you don’t need them, you can use them in exchange for food.

He still started as a street peddler, selling food in Jiuquan County, the most prosperous county in Suzhou, and then attracted Longxiu, the son of the county magistrate.

Just in time for Long Xiu to hold a birthday party, Yang Xin was sent to the mansion to make things for him to show off to his companions.

Yang Xin immediately opened up the situation, because what he made satisfied Long Xiu, Yang Xin carefully raised the matter of household registration, Long Xiu didn't make too much trouble, Yang Xin and Yun Niang directly settled the household registration.

Yang Xin originally wanted to get a household registration for Li Congjia, but thinking about it, the dignified king of Yue went to Suzhou to become a commoner. This idea is not very good. Yang Xin was also afraid of being scolded by Zhou Zong, so he didn't continue.

After Li Congjia listened, he lowered his head and pondered: I always feel that this plot is a bit familiar.

Well, if Long Xiu is replaced by Tian Wuniang... Isn't this the reappearance of the original plot in Jiangning Mansion?

The only thing that is better is that Long Xiu seems to be more reasonable and did not take Yang Xin away directly like Tian Wuniang.

Li Congjia reached out and clasped the stone table and said: "In this case, it will be much easier for us to enter Suzhou, and the treasure hunt can probably be put on the agenda."

Shi Xueting nodded slightly. This is the purpose of his talking about Yang Xin. Before, they were always worried about how to enter Suzhou without being discovered. Now that Yang Xin is in place, they can finally make a new plan.

Li Congjia was a little tired and said, "Let's invite the Chief Assistant to discuss this matter in detail tomorrow."

It is impossible to hide such a big matter from Zhou Zong. Speaking of it, it is not right that he has not told Zhou Zong about the treasure until now.

Seeing that Li Congjia seemed to be in a bad mood, Shi Xueting sighed slightly in his heart, got up, said goodbye and left.

Li Congjia stared at Shi Xueting's back for a long time, until he sat in one position for too long and his legs became numb.

In the end, he could only sigh and go back to sleep.

It's a pity that even when he was sleeping, Shi Xueting seemed unwilling to let him go.

Li Congjia dreamed of the night when he and Shi Xueting just met. The difference is that this time he had a very in-depth exchange with Shi Xueting.

In the dream, the pattern on Shi Xueting's back was very bright because of his high body temperature, and his previous relaxed appearance was gone, especially when those long legs hooked around Li Congjia's waist, Li Congjia couldn't help being even more excited Some.

Probably only in the dream, Shi Xueting would become so enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that when he woke up the next morning, Li Congjia wished he could fall back to sleep again!

It's a pity that, as the highest officer of the entire village, Li Congjia has no right to stay in bed. He can only secretly throw away the dirty underwear, and then get up listlessly to go to work.

When Zhou Zong saw Li Congjia, he was startled. In his impression, Li Congjia always looked calm at any time. Even if he encountered a particularly difficult problem, he could discuss it very easily, and never showed it. Extreme anxiety or weakness.

what is it today?What's the big deal?

Zhou Zong thought that his daughter seemed to go to find Li Congjia yesterday, so he couldn't help raising his throat, his eyes fixed on Li Congjia, and he didn't dare to blink.

Li Congjia felt hairy when Zhou Zong looked at him, and asked in a low voice, "Did the chief assistant find something wrong?"

Zhou Zong: You are the biggest mistake.

But he definitely didn't dare to say this sentence, Zhou Zongsi thought for a while and said: "It's nothing, but the king looks a little tired."

Shi Xueting, who was standing beside Zhou Zong, also pricked up his ears. It is impossible for him not to discover things that Zhou Zong could find out, but what he thought was different from Zhou Zong. What he thought was Li Congjia, maybe because last night they Two conversations led to my lack of energy today, but... Shi Xueting thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was wrong, maybe... he was really meddling too much?

After hearing Zhou Zong's words, Li Congjia said with a dry smile, "It's nothing, I just went to bed late last night."

Shi Xueting looked at Li Congjia with some doubts, it wasn't too late when he left last night, but when he went out of the courtyard and looked back, he found that the lights in Li Congjia's courtyard had been turned off, so it wasn't too late to sleep.

After Li Congjia finished speaking, his eyes swept away, and he happened to meet Shi Xueting's concerned gaze, and then remembered the dream of last night, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, his eyes slipped, and he looked aside.

Shi Xueting was taken aback for a moment, then took the rosary in his hand and twisted it slowly, feeling complicated and unspeakable in his heart.

The atmosphere between Li Congjia and Shi Xueting was too weird, how could a man like Zhou Zong not notice it?It's just that, as a competent minister, Zhou Zong couldn't get to the bottom of everything. If he pretended to be deaf and dumb, his skills were full, so he simply pretended he didn't know!

Zhou Zong asked, "Master Shi said just now that the king is a businessman?"

Li Congjia cheered up, and said, "Before I was busy, there was one thing that I forgot to tell the chief assistant. We have a map of the treasures of the Tang royal family."

Zhou Zong: ...

Li Congjia saw that Zhou Zong didn't speak, and felt a little guilty for a moment: "Shoufu? Shoufu?"

Zhou Zong came back to his senses and asked incredulously, "Does Your Majesty know what you are talking about?"

Li Congjia looked up at Shi Xueting and said, "Let Master Xueting explain this to the chief assistant."

Shi Xueting's hand holding the rosary paused for a moment, put down the rosary, and explained to Zhou Zong the origin of the treasure map.

Only then did Zhou Zong understand why Li Congjia believed in Shi Xueting's identity so deeply. If there is such a treasure, then... even though Zhou Zong is very stable, he couldn't help breathing heavily when he heard the news. , Zhou Zong is now worrying about the food problem of the people below every day.

He calmed down for a while before asking, "Is this treasure map real?"

Li Congjia put the treasure map on the table and said: "It should be true. It is preliminarily judged to be around Juyanhai. When we get there, Master Xueting will be responsible for searching."

Zhou Zong didn't ask any more questions but said: "This place should be within the sphere of influence of the Long family. It may not be easy for us to go hunting for treasures."

Li Congjia smiled and told about Yang Xin. After Zhou Zong heard it, he changed his opinion of Yang Xin a little. Didn't see any sparkle from that kid.

But now it seems that Zhou Zong has been mistaken this time, and those who can rise in the face of adversity are worthy of admiration.

Zhou Zong nodded and said: "There is room for maneuver in this way, but how many treasures there are and how many people we want to go have to be considered in the long run."

Li Congjia closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "This time I'm looking for it in the past, it's best not to bring too many people, first determine the location, this treasure has been found for so many years, if it is found, it must have long since disappeared, the people we went to It’s useless to have too much, if no one finds it, after we find it, we will take back a small part first, continue to bury the rest, and then find a time to go and get it all back.”

This method is indeed safe, and Zhou Zong has no reason to object, so now the question arises, who should we choose?Candidates must be reliable, and they can't turn back halfway, right?

Li Congjia decided to choose from the bandits he had recruited before. Those bandits have become more honest after Li Congjia has dealt with them again and again. What's more, they are far away from home now. They also know that only by clinging to Li Congjia can they live better.

Especially after Tian Wuniang led the Tian family trilogy to seek refuge, those bandits were very disturbed.

After all, no matter from which point of view, the Tian family trilogy is more suitable for fighting around than them. Those bandits have been trying their best to express themselves recently. In this era, if they have no effect on Li Congjia, let alone their status, I am afraid that they will It's hard to save your life.

As for the Tian family's original series, Li Congjia still has some doubts about their loyalty. After all, there is still too little cooperation and contact with each other. Now even if those people show their obedience to Li Congjia, he will not really believe it. Those people are willing to go through life and death for themselves.

Zhou Zong was relieved to find that as long as all kinds of etiquette rules were not involved, his king was still very reliable, at least his mind was very clear.

That's enough. As for Li Congjia's shortcomings, it's normal. After all, he's still young, at least 20 years old. What's more, if Li Congjia knows everything, what else can he do?

Complementary monarchs and ministers are the right way.

Relieved, Zhou Zong asked a question: "Who leads the team?"

Then the king who was just a little more reliable in his eyes gave him an unreliable answer: "Me."

Zhou Zong objected immediately: "No! The son of a thousand gold..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Congjia and said, "I have to go. This journey is not only a treasure hunt, but also an advance search."

Li Congjia didn't say clearly what to investigate, but he felt that Zhou Zong should understand that the peace between them and Suzhou is temporary, even if they join forces in the future, it may be temporary, and it is uncertain when they will fight. In this troubled world, There can be no eternal friendship between two regimes.

However, Li Congjia and the others didn't know enough about the terrain characteristics of the Western Regions. This trip was just a chance to see the customs and environment inside Suzhou, and make a judgment on the Long family.

Zhou Zong still objected, his meaning was very simple, anyone who wanted to investigate could do it, and there were quite a few people who had the ability to do so.

But Li Congjia said: "The class is different, and the things I see are also different. I must know it well."

Zhou Zong frowned, this was true, he thought about it carefully and said: "Then... I'll go."

This time it was Li Congjia's turn to object: "No, you still have to preside over the construction of the city here. I have no experience in this area. It's better for you to sit in the town."

Zhou Zong: ...Almost forgot about it.

However, Zhou Zong still did not want Li Congjia to be in danger. Although no one knows whether there is really danger there, but thinking about the treasure left by the emperor at the end of Tang Dynasty, it is definitely impossible to protect it for future generations. None of the measures.

It's just that Zhou Zong couldn't compete with Li Congjia, and he once again realized the stubbornness of his king.

In the end Zhou Zong had no choice but to retreat and said: "Be sure to choose a strong bodyguard to follow!"

Li Congjia smiled and said: "Of course, but don't worry too much, Master Xueting will go with me."

Zhou Zong frowned slightly, but didn't say much, he didn't believe in Shi Xueting, he was worried that Shi Xueting would try his best to restore the country and become the emperor, what if he was unfavorable to Li Congjia along the way?

However, Li Congjia really trusted Shi Xueting, Zhou Zong couldn't directly question Shi Xueting's loyalty, he could only figure out who to follow in his heart.

Li Ping and Zhu Yuan definitely couldn't walk away, they were both considered to be high-ranking and powerful, and they had heavy responsibilities.

Tian Wuniang and Li Congjia don't really want her to go. Treasure hunting is different from fighting a war. There may not be any situation. It is always inconvenient to bring a little lady.

Then after all the calculations, only one more person can be promoted.

In the end, it was Li Congjia who decided: autumn harvest.

Chunsheng and Qiushou were the first people in the village to serve Li Congjia back then, but later because Qiushou was too dull to stay by his side as servants, Li Congjia let him out and gave him a choice, he chose to be a soldier.

I have to say that Autumn Harvest may not be smart enough, but a single-minded person can always burst out with great potential in the things he likes.

Qiushou is not very old now, but because of his hard work in training and his natural strength, he managed to get to the captain's position all the way.

This position may seem ordinary, but at any rate, it is also a leader who can command 50 people to fight. As a teenager, being able to achieve such an achievement at the age of fifteen or sixteen shows Qiu Harvest's ability.

And when Li Congjia went out to hunt for treasure this time, he didn't need someone so powerful to lead the army to fight, as long as he was obedient and faithfully obeyed the command, Qiushou was a good candidate.

Zhou Zong was not at ease at first, but after seeing that Qiushou was taller than him, and that he could easily lift twenty or thirty catties of ten yuan with his hands, and his eyes were full of admiration for Li Congjia, he stopped talking. what.

Perhaps, their king has another advantage, that is, he knows people well.

Li Congjia's trip was in full swing, and he announced that he was going to Suzhou for a visit to find out. Only those who were very close knew that Li Congjia and the others were going to hunt for treasure.

And Yang Xin is also ready. Their excuse for entering the city is to give Yang Xin cattle and sheep. It just so happens that there are always Uyghur tribes who don’t have long-sightedness coming to provoke them. If they all serve as slaves, the animals of their tribe will be cheaper for Li Congjia and the others.

With this excuse, Li Congjia got a Suzhou temporary pass in his hand. With this pass, Li Congjia can walk in Suzhou without causing trouble.

When Li Congjia left, Zhou Zong came to see him off, and when he was about to part, Zhou Zong suddenly said: "Now the city has begun to be built, and it may not be long before it will have a prototype. I don't know when the king will come back. Why don't you decide on the name of the city first?" .”

Li Congjia was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He had also thought about the name of Xincheng, but he felt that names with good meanings and good meanings had been taken before. He thought for a while and said, "Peace, the city name is peace."

Tranquility, peace and tranquility are probably the most sincere hope in the hearts of all people who have experienced wind and rain.

It's just that both Li Congjia and Zhou Zong knew that it might not be easy to really be peaceful.

If it is really peaceful, why does Li Congjia need to go out to hunt for treasure in person?

Li Congjia led the team to set off at sunrise, and finally arrived in Jiuquan County before sunset, otherwise they would have to spend the night in the wild. The Western Regions are not a mild south. Here, the temperature at night will become very low. Fear of frostbite in the wild.

After entering the city, Li Congjia first went to find Yang Xin.

Yang Xin's place in Jiuquan County is not bad, there is a small yard, of course he didn't buy it, it is said that it was a gift from Longxiu.

After Yang Xin saw Li Congjia, he said, "I haven't got the map yet, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait for two days. Long Xiu has been playing with his group of cronies for the past two days. I don't dare to press this matter, for fear that he will get up." suspicion."

Li Congjia nodded and said: "If you can get the best, it doesn't matter if you don't get it. We also have maps in our hands. We just think that the maps in the hands of the Long family should be more accurate."

After hearing this, Yang Xin said, "Tomorrow I'll go check out the news, it should be all right."

Li Congjia saw that the expression on Yang Xin's face was wrong and couldn't help asking: "What? What's the problem?"

Yang Xindong looked around, and found that apart from Qiushou who was guarding the door, Li Congjia and Shi Xueting were the only ones here, and he was not embarrassed, he said hesitantly, "I always feel that Long Xiu's eyes are not right when he looks at me."

Shi Xueting was slightly surprised: "It's not right? Why is it not right? Could it be that your identity was discovered by him?"

Shi Xueting didn't understand, but Li Congjia knew what was going on when he saw Yang Xin's expression, and couldn't help asking: "Longxiu is so masculine?"

Yang Xin scratched his head and said, "I don't know, but there are men and women around him."

Shi Xueting who didn't think about it at all just now: ...

Li Congjia patted Yang Xin on the shoulder and said, "If you really think things are not good, then go away. If you are captured by him, you will be so useless here."

After finishing speaking, Li Congjia couldn't help laughing, and looked Yang Xin up and down for a long time.

Yang Xin's eyebrows are now wide open, and he can be regarded as handsome, but he is only handsome. No matter how Li Congjia looks at him, he can't see anything attractive about him. Whether it is Tian Wuniang before or Long Xiu today, it seems It is really strange to be able to discover things that Li Congjia cannot.

Yang Xin nodded and said, "I'll go back when I find the treasure. I heard that the village has already started building a city? How long will it take?"

Li Congjia shook his head: "Building a city can't be done overnight, so you don't have to worry about not being able to catch up."

Yang Xin asked a few more things about the village, and after finding out that everything was normal, he got up and left without talking nonsense, letting Li Congjia and Shi Xueting have a good rest.

On the second day, Yang Xin originally wanted to go to Longxiu's mansion to find out what was going on, but he didn't expect Longxiu to come here in person. The reason was that he heard that Yang Xin was preparing new dishes here, and he wanted to come and taste it.

In fact, there are no new dishes, but some dishes that are often eaten in the south, but because the distance is too far, people in the Western Regions have hardly seen this kind of dish, which makes Yang Xin shine.

After Long Xiu tasted the new dishes, he was full of praise for Yang Xin's craftsmanship, directly threw the map to Yang Xin, and at the same time asked casually: "I heard that how many people are here?"

Yang Xin said very calmly: "Yes, it was my cousin and a friend of his who came with some guards to deliver things to me."

Long Xiu smiled and said, "Where is the man?"

Yang Xin sighed in his heart, this is what he meant to see, he naturally couldn't refuse, so he had to ask Qiushou to notify Li Congjia.

Li Congjia was not surprised either, he actually wanted to meet Long Xiu, but after the meeting, he felt... Long Xiu was really sorry for his name.

The appearance is not delicate at all, very typical of the Western Regions, but too rough.

Long Xiu's eyes lit up when he saw Li Congjia and Shi Xueting. At the beginning, he fell in love with Yang Xin because Yang Xin had the unique beauty of Jiangnan people. Unlike people from the plateau, his skin was fairer, and he looked It seems to be smoother than a woman's skin.

And Li Congjia and Shi Xueting are much better than Yang Xin in appearance, which makes Long Xiu very happy, but he dare not offend these two people.

Not to mention Li Congjia, the aristocratic temperament on his body completely crushed Long Xiu.

And Shi Xueting is a monk, Yanqi believes in Buddhism and worships Buddhism, monks have a very high status in Yanqi, even though Long Xiu had the guts, he didn't dare to hit Shi Xueting.

Long Xiu said a few words full of regret and then left. Li Congjia looked at his back and said, "Be careful with this man, he is a good player who hides his sword in his smile."

He has seen quite a few people now, but he has never felt so dangerous about anyone. This Long Xiu...looks...especially like the pervert he has seen in TV dramas before.

After getting the map, Li Congjia decided to compare it with the treasure map in their hands, and leave immediately after confirming the location, not staying here any longer.

But after unfolding the map, both he and Shi Xueting were dumbfounded.

The location of Ju Yanhai seems to be different from what they judged before. If it is here, doesn't it mean... the treasure is underwater?
