snowstorm

As the sun rose into the sky, Xie Qiao and Gu Wang set off on the road.

Lu Jue didn't leave the camp to see him off, but Xie Qiao had a rare smile on his face.Gu Wang rode on the horse and looked at Xie Qiao's face, so he rarely asked, "Little prince, you..."

Xie Qiao looked over.

Gu Wang continued with a blank expression: "——why did your mouth break?" Even though it was fine when I saw it last night, there was a cut in the corner of Xie Qiao's mouth at this time.

Xie Qiaoxiao pulled the rein of the horse gracefully and raised her eyebrows, said: "I'm bitten by the heart."

So Gu Wang frowned suspiciously, and spent the whole journey thinking about where Xie Qiao got a good friend in Jizhou, Xie Qiao was rarely at ease.

Jizhou and Yanzhou border on each other, and it is very close to Yanzhou, so they rode fast horses for a whole day and arrived in Yanzhou.

It was midnight when we arrived in Yanzhou, and Xie Qiao looked at Gu Wang with some difficulty, for fear that he would say that he would investigate the case as soon as he appeared.What made Xie Qiao speechless was that before he mentioned it, Gu Wang took the initiative to lead the horse to an inn.

Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously, then saw Gu Wang looking over, his voice was still flat and flat: "Master Lu told me before leaving that it would be more efficient to combine work and rest when investigating a case." He handed the horse over to the shop waiter who came out yawning, and went into the inn.

Xie Qiao: "..."

Lu Jue probably said those words to Gu Wang because he felt sorry for him, and he naturally enjoyed it very much.But he really couldn't understand why someone with Gu Wang's personality would listen to Lu Jue like that.It stands to reason that Gu Wang is in Dali Temple, Lu Jue is a military general, and they have been in the military camp all year round. They basically have no chance to interact... Just thinking about it, Xie Qiao suddenly remembered that old doctor, who was in love with Lu Jue in Jinling City. Girl, he twitched the corners of his mouth, so he didn't think it was strange.

Lu Jue is really the moon on the tip of the hearts of all the people in Jinling City, Xie Qiao handed the horse to the waiter, thinking so while walking towards the inn.Entering the upstairs room, as soon as he opened the window, the plain white moonlight entered the house. Xie Qiao looked up at the bright and dazzling moon in the sky and smiled: This moon belongs to him and only belongs to him. .This is the luckiest thing in his life.

In this way, he wants to clarify Yuyu and clear away the haze of Dasheng.In this life, he saved his sister-in-law and Li Mingbei, so he would not want his brother and Lu Jue to die.In this life, they are all here, and he wants Dasheng to become a peaceful and prosperous world that is even more splendid than the previous life.

In this way, he will live up to his rebirth this time.

……

That night, Xie Qiao fell asleep for the first time since following Gu Wang. He went downstairs in a good mood. The downstairs was already bustling with many guests having breakfast.He looked into the store, and saw Gu Wang sitting upright at a table in the corner. On the table were two bowls of millet porridge, a plate of steamed buns, and a plate of small pickles.

Hearing the movement, he looked towards Xie Qiao and pointed to the things on the table: "We'll go out after eating."

Xie Qiao: "..."

He twitched the corner of his mouth, then sat down opposite Gu Wang, looked at the bowl of millet porridge in front of him, and said, "Master Gu, I just noticed that there are plain noodles in the shop."

Gu Wang picked up a steamed bun on the plate and handed it to him: "Most of the steamed buns in Jinling City are filled with stuffing. It's rare to not bring them here. Don't you want to try it?" Seeing Xie Qiao's expressionless face, he said again: " I’ve already ordered these, and it’s a waste if you don’t eat them.” After a pause, he called the waiter again, pointed at the pickles on the table and said, “Do you have any other pickles here? My companion thinks that these taste a bit weak A little bit."

The corner of Xiao Er's mouth twitched when he heard the words, thinking that the guest was joking, but seeing his serious face, he could only bite the bullet and say: "We have two big vats of pickled radishes in our backyard." After a pause, he continued. Additional sentence: "If you want it, you can give it for free."

Gu Wang raised a finger at Xiao Er: "Here's a plate."

Xiao Er hurried down, Gu Wang looked at Xie Qiao: There are two kinds of pickles written all over his face, now you can eat it.

Xie Qiao: "..."

Xie Qiao took a deep breath, picked up the steamed bun in his hand, and took a hard bite.When he returned to Jinling City in the future, he would definitely take a detour when he saw Gu Wang again.

After eating, they went out.

Although Gu Wang is used to being rigid and weird in life, he is very serious and flexible when investigating cases.Since they were looking for tombs, they naturally wanted to inquire in the antique shops in the city.They couldn't reveal their identities, so Gu Wang suggested that they could pretend to be antique dealers who came to Yanzhou from other places to look for things.

"I already inquired at the inn this morning," Gu Wang said, "Yanzhou has quietly become the largest antique distribution center in the nearby states in the past two years. Antique dealers from many northern states will come to Yanzhou to buy and sell things."

Xie Qiao frowned subconsciously when he heard the words: "You mean, it only became like this in the past two years?"

Gu Wang nodded, and a gleam flashed in Danfeng's eyes: "It's just these two years. In the past, I was never famous."

Xie Qiao had seriousness and doubts on his face: Antiques are extremely special, and there are usually specific channels for buying and selling antiques, and these channels will not be easily changed.Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for Yanzhou to become the largest distribution center nearby by itself within two years.

Since it is impossible on its own, there must be external interference.Xie Qiao narrowed his eyes, he felt that this matter had something to do with Xie Hong.

Walking into an antique shop, Xie Qiao felt that communicating with others could not count on Gu Wang. He put on a smile and was about to argue with the boss when he stared dumbfounded at Gu Wang as if he had changed his skin. With just the right slick yet sincere smile, he stepped forward to warmly greet the boss.

"Ah, who is this, you ask?" Gu Wang pointed at Xie Qiao with a smile, and said, "This is the son of my boss, he came out with me this time to see the world?" After that, he looked at Xie Qiao: "Really? , master?"

Xie Qiao recovered from the shock, quickly put on a smirk, cupped his hands at the boss, and said, "Yes, I used to study antiques from various dynasties at home and help my father take care of the business. This time I came here to see the world. I hope the boss will give me some advice." After saying that, he put a piece of gold in front of the boss.

Money is useful most of the time.

Seeing Jin Zi, the boss smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he patted his chest and said, "I've been doing this business in Yanzhou for eight years, not to mention ten years. If you have any questions and want something, just say !"

Xie Qiao squinted her eyes, then deliberately lowered her voice and said: "I heard that there is a tomb of Concubine Jing in Yanzhou, and this time I came here just for it. Has the boss heard of it?"

The boss was taken aback, and Xie Qiao smiled and pressed another piece of gold in front of the boss. The boss swallowed, then moved closer to Xie Qiao, and said in a low voice: "I see that the young master is also a straightforward person, this time I will talk to the young master. With a little faith, the young master wants such a rare thing, you go north, there is Linji Antique Shop over there, you can find what you want there."

Xie Qiao just wanted to thank him with a smile, when he saw the boss coming over again, he added: "What are the tombs of Concubine Jing, the tomb of Emperor Xin, the tomb of Emperor Zhao, all of them! As long as you," the boss twitched two fingers like that: "If you don't lack money, you can buy it." become!"

Xie Qiao's pupils shrank, then he quickly put on a smile again, and cupped his hands at the boss again, saying, "Thank you."

The boss waved his hand at him, and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome, I told you because the young master is an open-minded person, others, I won't tell!"

Xie Qiao then smiled and bowed to the boss: "Thank you. Farewell."

After finishing speaking, he exchanged glances with Gu Wang and left the shop together.

There were people coming and going on the street at this time, Xie Qiao and Gu Wang walked in the crowd, but they both looked dignified.

"This is really interesting," Xie Qiao narrowed his eyes, with a cold look on his face: "The tomb of King Xin Zhao has also been dug up." There are many institutions, and it is not an easy task to find and dig out the tomb after finding it.

Gu Wang had recovered his usual expression at this time, he frowned slightly, and said, "It may not be true."

Xie Qiao glanced at Gu Wang and said, "The tomb of Concubine Jing is real." Whether it is the tomb of King Xin or Emperor Zhao, it is out of ten that it is real.

What if, Xie Qiao's face was even more cold, what if there were other tombs besides these, and what if the people who dug these tombs were the same team as those who dug the tomb of Concubine Jing...

Gu Wang obviously thought of this too, with a serious face.

After a while, Gu Wang said: "If our speculation is true, what does the little prince think is the purpose of the man behind digging so many tombs?"

Xie Qiao glanced at him and said, "Of course it's for money."

Gu Wang asked again: "Why did he spend so much money?" He used a declarative tone.

Xie Qiao narrowed his eyes, and there was coldness in his eyes. He said, "Master Gu, don't you think that such a hidden and special way of raising money is the most suitable way to raise an army?" If you don't pay special attention to things like circulation, you won't notice it at all.

Gu Wang's face became more dignified, and after a while, he nodded slowly, and said again: "My lord, the water here is much deeper than I imagined."

Xie Qiao smiled and looked at the other party: "How can the water not be deep where my good uncle stretched out his hand? Master Gu, no matter how deep or muddy the water is, I have to clear it this time."

Gu Wang looked at Xie Qiao and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is willing to do my best with Your Highness."

……

Jinling.royal palace.Royal study.

"If your Majesty insists on going to Yanzhou in person, I will slam my head to death here to show my will." Li Mingbei knelt in the imperial study room, looked up at the emperor, expressionless.

"You..." Xie Zheng was so angry that he took two steps and stood next to Li Mingbei, pointing at him and said, "Tell Gu, when will you learn to 'crash to death here' like those old stubborn people-you usually Don't Li look down on them the most?!"

Li Ming sadly said flatly: "It's a normal day, but now I think this method is very good, it makes people look very strong."

"You!" Xie Zheng was annoyed: "You have a character, Gu has become a dark lord, right?! Gu told you, Gu must go to Yanzhou!"

Li Mingbei kowtowed and said in a loud voice: "I am willing to go to Yanzhou for your majesty! I am willing to do those things for your majesty! If not, I am willing to come to see you. If your majesty insists on going in person, I will put the item on your head now." The head is dedicated to His Majesty!"

Xie Zheng: "..."

After a while, Xie Zheng threw a gold medal on him, gritted his teeth and choked out a sentence: "Yes."

Li Mingbei kowtowed again, squinted his peach blossom eyes and said with a smile: "My lord, thank you Your Majesty!"
