In the rivers and lakes, everyone wants to be successful and famous on the list, but there are only a few people with outstanding talents and prominent family backgrounds. It is okay for ordinary people to work hard, but most of them are unwilling to work hard. of. If you have no family background, no talent, and no hard work, how can you get ahead
There are usually only two choices in storybook legends—
Fall off a cliff and meet a worldly expert, or pick up a treasure map inadvertently.
The first kind of difficulty is indeed too high, and 80% of them will be smashed into mud, so it is not suitable to imitate; but the second kind is quite like picking up a gold ingot by falling down, so various treasure rumors have emerged as the times require, ancient tombs buried with, Peerless Cheats, Immortal Recipe, Frozen Beauty...there are so many kinds, everything you need.
The Zichuan Secret Map is also one of them, but it is slightly different. It is said that this is a book of military tactics, which contains the life-long painstaking efforts of the general Lu Guangyuan of this dynasty, also known as the book of the God of War.
"Of course, there are also people who believe that the Zichuan secret map is a treasure map, or simply believe that there is a magic sword hidden in it, and the sword holder can be invincible. There are different opinions." Yun Yifeng said, "The prince was born in the royal family. Are you familiar with this General Lu?"
Ji Yanran said: "One year before I was born, General Lu had died in battle, but I have heard old General Liao talk about the famous battles he commanded many times. This man fought bravely and never left himself alone. In the rear, every time we go into battle to kill the enemy, we always take the lead. The commander is like this, and the subordinates are affected by it, and they also have a posture of breaking the boat, which can be called the iron-blooded army of the leader."
But it was precisely because of his bravery that Lu Guangyuan was too aggressive, and he was defeated in Heisha City at the age of 28. Thirty thousand troops fell into the enemy's trap and were brutally strangled, with no survivors.
Ji Yanran continued: "The Battle of Black Sand City was the only defeat in General Lu's life. No one knew why he made that decision at that time. Every time General Liao mentioned it, he would sigh with regret."
Yun Yifeng said: "I have heard another rumor, can you tell me?"
Ji Yanran laughed, and asked the guards to step back temporarily: "Let's talk."
"There are also people who say that General Lu did not advance rashly, but that the late emperor was afraid of his great achievements, so he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of his serious trouble."
"It's not uncommon for every dynasty and every generation to have such rumors about their masters being so powerful and their bows exhausted." Ji Yanran said, "Even my brother and I have the same problem?"
"That's right." Yun Yifeng thought for a while, "However, as far as I know, there are rumors about treasure maps in the Jianghu, and only the secret map of Zichuan can be related to the imperial court, so I just asked casually. .But maybe the treasure that Yuan Shilang is looking for has nothing to do with it at all. You have to search to find out what it is. "
"The secret guards are still watching Yuan's mansion. If Yuan Yuansi really wants to hunt for treasure, he will definitely make the next move." Ji Yanran glanced at the sky and asked him, "Furui Building is ahead, do you want to eat chrysanthemum tofu fish?"
The chrysanthemum tofu fish is very tender and delicious.
Cloud Gate Master readily agreed.
When the owner of the restaurant heard the news, he hurriedly prepared a private room for the two of them out of good intentions, so as not to be surrounded by many diners like Tong Fu Lou. But how can the common people control so much, seeing His Royal Highness King Xiao and Master Yunmen enter the private room, and the thick curtain is lowered, they guessed even more excitedly—otherwise, why didn't they sit outside? It's also ventilated, refreshing, and you can enjoy the night view of the royal city.
After a meal, the bookseller's place is almost ready to engrave the edition.
The news came back to Qingyue's ears, and his sore arm from being punished for copying large characters trembled again.
Ling Xing'er also had a headache. Why is the sect master so disobedient? You must know that dispelling rumors is also a personal effort. It was hard to calm down the roast duck incident. Why is there another round of chrysanthemum tofu and fish! So that night, she deliberately took her senior brother to Yun Yifeng's room together, and reminded her earnestly for a long time that in the future, the public should learn to avoid suspicion.
Yun Yifeng had a correct attitude: "Okay, I will remember it for the teacher."
The next day, he went to the temple fair with Ji Yanran, and drank a bowl of mandarin duck tea on the same bench.
Yuanyang tea, can you drink it casually
Qingyue was so worried that her head was going bald, she felt that this master was not reliable.
…
The shadow of the moon in the courtyard was sparse, and Yun Yifeng stood in front of the window, with her long wet hair loose, staring at the shadows of the mottled trees in a trance.
He had just taken a comfortable hot bath, just when his bones were weak and his body was weak, and he was drowsy. He thought about going to bed after drinking another cup of milk wine, but suddenly a person jumped down from the wall.
It's not His Royal Highness Xiao Wang, but a disciple of Fengyumen.
Yun Yifeng frowned: "What's the matter?"
The disciple whispered a few words in his ear, and said again: "Go to Tingyu Tower."
The largest brothel in Wangcheng is brightly lit every night, singing and singing.
In the bedroom covered with red curtains, the man threw his jacket aside impatiently, revealing the black hair on his chest. He laughed and wanted to throw himself on the bed, but the window was suddenly pushed open by the wind.
Before the delicate kiln girl realized what was going on, she was volleyed out of the room, the door was closed again, and the room became quiet.
Yun Yifeng stood by the table, and said slowly, "Hero Zhang, are you safe?"
The hairy-chested man hurriedly put on his clothes, his face stretched longer than a bitter gourd: "Master Yunmen, I haven't done anything wrong recently!"
"Daxia Zhang was joking. Whether you commit crimes or not has nothing to do with Fengyumen, and it's not my turn to take care of it." Yun Yifeng said, "I came here this time just to find out some news."
Hearing what he said, the hairy-chested man immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "What does Master Yunmen want to ask?"
"I heard that you people from the Lotus Sect have been helping Yuan Shilang find good goods recently?" Yun Yifeng put a cat's eye on the table.
The hairy-chested man hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm looking for the secret map of Zichuan."
Yun Yifeng choked.
You are really refreshing.
"Master Yunmen has come forward in person, so there's no way we can hide it." The hairy-chested man tucked his cat's eyes into his sleeves, and said with a chuckle, "Since we will be found out sooner or later, it's better to make this deal now. I make a fortune, and the wind and rain door saves trouble."
Yun Yifeng asked again: "Have you seen the secret map of Zichuan?"
"I haven't seen it before, but I've heard it mentioned before." The hairy-chested man lowered his voice, "If the head of the sect wants to know, there will be another price."
…
In the Wang's study, Ji Yanran was discussing matters with his subordinates when suddenly he heard footsteps outside the courtyard.
It's light and familiar.
Yun Yifeng asked in a low voice: "Is the prince in there?"
The little guard hurriedly said: "Yes, door master, please go to the side hall to have a cup of tea first, and wait for Commander Zhao to finish discussing with the prince—"
Before the word "matter" was uttered, someone beside him was already winking desperately, Master Yunmen came to look for the prince, what are you waiting for Commander Zhao, Commander Zhang, go in and pass it on quickly!
Little guard: "..."
To be fair, you didn't teach me that way when I first came here!
Ji Yanran handed over a cup of tea, and asked with a smile: "Why did you come here this time, what's the matter?"
Yun Yifeng recounted the matter of Lianhua Sect, and added in time: "The disciples of Fengyumen did not enter Yuan's mansion. It was Zhang Xu who wanted to go to the brothel by himself, so I was blocked in the room."
Ji Yanran said: "As soon as you asked, he said everything?"
"Fengyumen is never stingy when buying news." Yun Yifeng said, "After he saw Maoeryan, he wished he could tell me about his parents' love history."
Ji Yanran nodded with satisfaction: "It's lucky to have you this time, then I will report to Brother Emperor tomorrow, by the way, where is Zhang Xuren?"
"Still in the brothel, my people have been watching." Yun Yifeng said, "But he is unlikely to run away, after all, Yuan Shilang spent money to buy news, and it sounds like the deal went smoothly."
"Naturally, I can rest assured that Fengyumen is doing business." Ji Yanran said softly, "It's getting late at night, let's go back and rest first."
Yun Yifeng agreed, turned around and left the study.
Commander Zhao, who had been standing silently on the sidelines and watched the whole process, suggested from the bottom of his heart: "Why don't you go to rest with the prince?"
Ji Yanran kicked up.
Commander Zhao hurriedly dodged, and asked in confusion: "Why didn't the lord just tell Master Yunmen that he didn't need to go to the brothel, and our people already found out about the specific transaction between Yuan Shilang and Lianhuajiao this afternoon?"
"Why should I say it?" Ji Yanran glanced at him and warned, "You mustn't say it either."
Commander Zhao had nothing to say, he was stunned by the blatant coloring of his prince, and he admired him so much.
In the early morning of the next day, Ji Yanran sent Yun Yifeng to the palaces of several old concubines, while he went straight to the imperial study.
But to his surprise, Li Jing didn't show much surprise after hearing all the story, as if he knew about it a long time ago.
Ji Yanran suspected: "It can't be the emperor—"
"It is true that I ordered Yuan Shilang to investigate." Li Jing asked De Sheng to bring him some tea, "I didn't want you to know."
Ji Yanran immediately said: "I don't have to know now."
"This is the imperial father's will." Li Jing signaled him not to make trouble, "He said that no matter what, we must find the secret map of Zichuan, and it must not fall into the hands of others."
"It really does exist." Ji Yanran said, "What is the content, the battle record written by General Lu himself?"
"No one has seen it." Li Jing said, "Before Yuan Yuansi found the Lotus Sect, who do you think is the only person who mentioned the secret map of Zichuan?"
Ji Yanran shook her head.
Li Jing said: "Li Jun."
Suddenly hearing this name, Ji Yanran couldn't hide her disgust: "Why does he want to join in all the fun?"
"It's probably because I heard something from my father, so I used it as a life-saving talisman." Li Jing said, "I insist that I have seen it, and I have to recall it slowly before I can draw the whole picture. It is also because of this that I treat you again. I kept it a secret about Ahan for a few more years."
This time is just right, if you can really find out the secret map of Zichuan, you don't have to protect that idiot anymore.
"I have you, the god of war, in my beam, so I don't need any military books." Li Jing stepped down from the dragon chair, "Father's will is also burned, not used."
"Burn?" Ji Yanran frowned, "Could it be serious..."
"What is it serious? Father and General Lu are really at odds, so you took the opportunity to get rid of the dissidents?" Li Jing said, "To be honest, I also had doubts. But no matter what the truth was, as long as there were records in the military book that were unfavorable to Daliang, it would be better to burn them. passed on to the world.”
According to the confession of the Lianhua Sect, they met a witch in the area of Anshuiling in Jindi ten years ago. At that time, the other party was dying, with injuries all over his body, and he could only mutter and curse in his mouth, saying that the dog thief surnamed Wang was despicable and shameless. Two sentences, saying that the secret map of Zichuan, which contains the treasure, is in the hands of Master Wang in Wangcheng, and he called on everyone in the world to grab it. It is best to have the fastest knife to pierce his heart.
After shouting a few words, the man also swallowed his breath.
The people of the Lianhua Sect didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It wasn't until recently that they heard the news that Mr. Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, was inquiring about the secret map of Zichuan. Take the news and sell it for money.
Ji Yanran said: "According to Yun... what the sect master said, the people of the Lianhua Sect are just mean and shameless, not like they have the guts to deceive the court officials."
Li Jing smiled, acting as if he didn't hear the self-evident pause.
According to the story, there were at least three "Master Wang" in Wangcheng at that time. There was no way, there were too many people with the same surname, and when they called out "Wang Aiqing" in the morning court, there could be a large group of people walking forward.
Although it is related to the last emperor's decree and the secret map of Zichuan, the whole matter is still unfounded. Only relying on a degraded sect in the rivers and lakes, and the "witch story" in their mouths, obviously will not let the All the "Master Wang" put down their affairs and stayed at home all day long waiting for the interrogation and search, but if they let it go, if the news leaked out and the Zichuan secret map was sent out, wouldn't it be even more troublesome
Ji Yanran said: "Why don't you investigate these people secretly first, maybe you can find some clues."
"Then I will leave this matter to you, the sooner the better." Li Jing said, "I also want to find out as soon as possible what the truth of the Battle of Black Sand City is."
…
In the afternoon, Ji Yanran found Concubine Hui's palace, and saw Yun Yifeng resting on the rug, with a blanket on her body, a book in her hand, and candied snacks beside her, very leisurely.
"Why did you come back so recently?" He sat up a little.
"There seems to be a secret hidden in the secret map of Zichuan." Ji Yanran picked up a candied fruit from the plate and handed it to his mouth, "I want to ask Fengyumen for help with something."
Yun Yifeng calmly said: "You didn't wash your hands."
