"You mean, the top priority now is to find the crown."
Zhang Yicheng heard some clues, "I know a few people who know archeology and can help you find it."
When it came to treasure hunting, Zhang Yicheng immediately thought of Qin Qin.
Ge, the old man must be interested in this kind of thing.
"Thank you for your kindness, but it's best for ordinary people not to go in that place," Tong Guohu said, "I already have an evil spirit in me, so I won't attract other things, but if it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be dangerous."
"You mean you have found the place and there are other things inside."
Zhang Yicheng was stunned, "How many are there?"
"A year ago, I identified a place."
Tong Guohu didn't seem to want to continue the topic of "other things."
"Judging from the traces outside, it was 100% where the Taiping Army hid their treasure, but I did not go in at that time."
"Why didn't you go in because there were other things?"
Zhang Yicheng was puzzled.
"Then what if?"
What should I do if someone else has already taken away the crown during this year?”
"I have already said that there are evil spirits in my body, and those things should not pose any threat to me.
But at that time, I thought, since I have not found the true immortal anyway, what is the use of getting the crown?
That crown should be a national treasure , if I had taken it then, it would have been troublesome to carry it with me.”
As for the question of whether anyone else had gone in, Tong Guohu didn't seem to bother to answer.
He just took out a stamp album from the rattan suitcase, opened the album, and saw only a letter sandwiched in it.
From the faded color of the paper, Cheng Rui According to analysis, it should be old.
The content of the letter is as follows: My younger brother Yuanfu cried: Yesterday, I received a letter from my brother and learned about the rumors in the court.
I had no way to defend myself and could only weep about it.
This is the beginning of many suspicions.
It is actually a rumor.
I hope my brother will not believe it easily.
Ever since I received the Holy Order, my brother's determination to serve the country has been evident.
He led the soldiers of the three armies to fight bloody battles, and did not hesitate to die in order to defeat Hong Ni.
However, hearing the lies is offensive, and using crimes to cover up the mistakes of meritorious deeds, how can I comfort hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Since the spirit of Heaven has also conquered the nest of thieves, the remnant party of the great rebellion has caused chaos without restraint.
It is indeed my dereliction of duty.
However, the fierceness of the attack on the city and the stubbornness of the thieves It is actually beyond our expectations, and it is impossible to control it even if there is nothing we can do.
When the thieves rebelled against Chuping, they spread rumors that there was a mountain of gold and silver in the thieves' treasury.
They only found more than 40,000 taels of silver, which was not enough to cover the food and salary consumption of the three armies.
How could the kiln be restored to the sacred state?
On the twenty-first day, Li Chendian was sent to pursue the thieves outside the city and kill the thieves.
More than a hundred people captured the thief general Li Xiucheng and tortured him.
It is known that Hong Ni's Yuzhen has secretly arrived in Yunnan a few months ago.
Based on what Li Xiucheng confessed, we have sent our close men to Yunnan to investigate.
The thief Li Xiucheng has been escorted to Beijing.
If there is any rumor, If you don’t trust your heart, you can judge for yourself.
June 29, the third year of Tongzhi It probably means: Yesterday I received a letter from you, eldest brother, referring to Zeng Guofan.
I learned that there are some rumors against me in the court.
Brother, I am so speechless that I can’t explain clearly.
I can only cry to you, eldest brother.
In fact, they are all rumors.

I hope Brother, please don’t believe it.
From the time I was ordered to fight against the rebellion until today, my brother, my desire to serve the country has been evident.
I led my brothers to fight day and night, and risked death in order to kill Hong Xiuquan.
However, those rumors actually described our army's achievements as crimes.
How can I comfort myself?
Where are the spirits in heaven of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died for our country?
Since the capture of the rebel lair, the remnant troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have been causing chaos everywhere.
This is indeed my fault.
However, when we first attacked the city, the brutality of the battle and the tenacity of the rebel resistance far exceeded our expectations.
After the siege, It failed to effectively control order in the city as planned.
When we first conquered Jiangning and Nanjing and renamed it Jiangning, we only seized more than 40,000 taels of silver from the holy treasury of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was rumored to have mountains of gold and silver.
This amount of money was not enough to pay for the food and wages consumed by the army during the siege, so how could we have any?
On the 21st, when the kiln gold was handed over to the court, I dispatched General Li Chendian to pursue the rebels outside the city.
We killed more than a hundred rebels and captured them alive.
The enemy general Li Xiucheng learned through a sudden interrogation of Li Xiucheng that the remaining treasures of the rebels had been secretly transported to Yunnan a few months ago.
Based on the clues provided by Li Xiucheng, I have dispatched close men to Yunnan to track them down. , Now Li Xiucheng is on his way to Beijing.
If anyone only believes in rumors and does not believe what I say from the bottom of my heart, they can be interrogated by themselves.
"Who is Yuan?"
Zhang Yicheng asked.
"He is the number one hero who conquered Tianjing and annihilated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
This letter from Hunan Army Commander Zeng Guoquan is a personal letter he wrote to his brother Zeng Guofan."
Tong Guohu said, "Zhongqiao people are like this.
People who do nothing will not make meritorious deeds." , but will not make mistakes; but if anyone has made some achievements No matter how careful you are about your performance, some irrelevant people will jump out and find fault, and Zeng Guoquan is the victim."
Tong Guohu took off his glasses and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingers, "Zeng Guoquan was known for his insatiable greed and ruthlessness in the court. , but this time, I was really wronged."
According to legend, Zeng Guoquan was known for his evil intentions and ruthlessness in fighting.
As long as he was a member of the Taiping Army, he would kill them regardless of whether they were defeated and captured or surrendered voluntarily.
After attacking the city, he tacitly allowed the soldiers to enter the city and do whatever they wanted.
In 1861, Zeng Guoquan captured Anqing and killed Hong Xiuquan's first-line general Chen Yucheng.
At the same time, he beheaded all the more than 16,000 Taiping soldiers who surrendered.
He was nicknamed "The Barber" for this.
The entire city of Anqing was looted for three days, but not a penny of "kiln gold" was handed over to the court.
After the capture of Tianjing, Zeng Guoquan first set off his troops to burn, kill, loot, and then confiscate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's holy treasury, but still failed to pay the court. .
It would be reasonable to say that there is not much money to grab for a small, painless place like Anqing, but it would be a bit of a stretch to say that there is no money for conquering Tianjing.
According to the financial system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, "No one in the world should be selfish, and all things belong to the Lord", nearly half of China's wealth would basically be concentrated in Tianjing, its home base.
Moreover, this concentration was absolute, even if your family had If you pay all the money, I will give you food to support you, instead of paying a percentage similar to taxes.
Nowadays, The Qing court was signing treaties everywhere, sending money, and giving out benefits.
It provided you with good food, drink, and weapons to knock down Tianjing.
You didn't turn over a penny, but it all went into your own treasury.
Isn't this cheating?
As for the rumors circulating in both the government and the public, accusing Zeng Guoquan of setting up troops to massacre the city and pocketing the war profits, even his brother Zeng Guofan, who was in power and dominated the government and the public, could not suppress it.
And this letter is exactly what Zeng Guoquan swore to his brother to express his injustice.
According to Tong Guohu's analysis, if the same content is replaced by an official document, the credibility will be very low.
Documents in official circles are nothing more than writing a few flattering polite words and looking for some objective reasons to get rid of it.
But if it is a family document, If you believe it, the credibility will be very high.
No matter how greedy Zeng Guoquan is, there is no need to tell such lies to his brother who always supports him.

"The treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are in Du Wenxiu's place in Yunnan."
Zhang Yicheng frowned, "You must be sure that the crown and the treasures are together."
"It's not 100% sure, but the probability is very high," Tong Guohu said.
"Hong Xiuquan's crown is made of pure gold.
It weighs nine pounds and five taels, representing the ninety-five nobles.
It is inlaid with more than three thousand gems of various kinds.
Excluding the gold in the crown, Regardless of the formation, the crown itself is also a priceless treasure.
After Tianjing was established as the capital, Taiping The upper echelons of the Kingdom of Heaven are extremely extravagant and spend money like water.
It is said that their holy treasury was squandered years before the city was destroyed.
But I think that no matter how much Hong Xiuquan squanders, it is impossible to take the crown to a pawnshop and pawn it.
So, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom After the destruction, the crown is most likely to remain in the world11863 After the fall of Suzhou in 1999, except for Du Wenxiu in Yunnan, who could barely support himself, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had no other reliable bases for hiding treasures.
Tianjing had been besieged for a long time, and it was impossible to transport too many things out with great fanfare.
It could be smuggled to Those from Yunnan must be small treasures at the bottom of Hong Xiu's press box.
Among them Probably including the crown.
I have been looking for it in Yunnan for a long time.
It was not until last year that I was able to determine where they hid the treasure.
The entrance was actually on the cliff.
It is impossible to have a large amount of gold and silver.
It is impossible to find such a tricky place to hide the treasure. , it must not be an ordinary treasure, and the crown is probably among them."
According to Tong Guohu, since Yuan Shaoyi left without saying goodbye, he spent a considerable period of time in Yunnan looking for clues to these treasures.
For this purpose, he lived in caves, dived, and even climbed a cliff without any protective measures. .
"Then how are you going to ask me to help you, and how are you going to help me?"
Zhang Yicheng frowned, "That classmate of mine is writing every day and midnight now, and the college entrance examination is about to take place, so he is very anxious."
"I haven't thought about how to help you yet."
Tong Guohu curled his lips and shook his head, "But since the syndrome in his body was caused by Mao Zhen, one thing is certain.
A thousand years from now, no one except me will be able to help you."
Other than that, there should be only one kind of person who has come into contact with the Mao Formation."
"What you mean is that my classmate who is related to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is probably the reincarnation of someone in the Taiping Army."
Zhang Yicheng was stunned.
"Damn it, that grandson couldn't be the reincarnation of Hong Xiuquan."
"That's hard to say."
Tong Guohu chuckled, "But don't worry, as long as you help me, I will definitely go all out to help Yi, regardless of whether my ability allows it."
It seems that Zhang Yicheng laid an ambush on the sentence "ability allows".
Tong Guohu had already I heard it, "Besides, my help is not limited to this matter.
If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I will help you unconditionally."
"Oh, it's true."
Hearing what Tong Guohu said, Zhang Yicheng's heart moved.
This guy is Yuan Shaoyi's disciple.
Maybe even if you tie the father and the uncle together and throw them in front of him, it will be for nothing.
If you really have such a master, I'll be there when you call me, and you'll have nothing to worry about if anything happens in the future.
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase," Tong Guohu said seriously, "But we have something to say first.
As I said just now, I can give you my savings, favors and savings, you can only choose one of the two."
"Of course it's a favor.
Didn't I tell you that I, Zhang Yicheng, hate seeing money the most in my life?
I'll help you."

Referring to the dilapidated house now, Zhang Yicheng basically doesn't think about savings.
"Brother Tong, I have one last question for you."
Zhang Yicheng was more thoughtful.
"If you really find the crown and everything on you is removed, what are you going to do with the crown?"
"Where did you take it from and where do you put it back?"
When answering this question, Tong Guohu basically said without thinking, "I have already thought about this question.
That thing is not only a crown, but also a dangerous tool.
I don't want to let that thing go." appear in the world” "In that case, when will we go to Yunnan?"
"We" Tong Guohu was stunned, "It's not us, it's me" "You" Zhang Yicheng was also a little surprised.
He thought that this brother wanted to trick him into going treasure hunting together, but he didn't expect that he didn't want to take him to play with him at all.
"You go by yourself."
"Of course it's me," Tong Guohu smiled, "I will find out the secret of the crown as soon as possible, how to use it, and then bring the crown to you and remove the things on me."
"Brother Tong, you just said this was dangerous.
I thought you wanted me to go with you."
Zhang Yicheng frowned, "Since you are going by yourself, what's the risk to me?"
"The danger for you is that I need to temporarily bring the immortality in you to me," Tong Guohu said.
"In some respects, immortality and evil are different in saying that they are different, and they are the same in saying that they are the same.
Neither of them is willing to accept He is unwilling to leave your body despite being manipulated by others.
I will use a magic weapon to force him to leave.
Do you think it is dangerous or not?"
"You're saying that making immortals anxious can also harm people."
Zhang Yicheng seemed a little unconvinced.
"To be honest, I don't know what will happen if you make the immortal anxious.
No one has tried it."
Tong Guohu shook his head and said, "So I said there may be risks, but I didn't say there would definitely be."
"You go to Yunnan first, take the crown back to Tianjin, and put the things back after finishing the work."
Zhang Yicheng muttered to himself, "Forget it, Brother Tong, although I am a junior, I am also a man.
As the saying goes, A good person will go to the end and send Buddha to heaven.
Since I agreed to help you, Then help me to the end.
You have been waiting for more than ten years.
You don’t care if you wait a few more days.
I will go with you after I finish the exam, which will save you the trouble of going both ways."
To be honest, at this moment, Zhang Yicheng also I feel a little hot-blooded.
After all, Tong Guohu is the disciple of my mother’s savior.
Brother, help him do some things and travel at the same time.
It's not a loss for the sake of love and reason.
Moreover, this person seems to be quite a gentleman.
In any case, he is also a disciple trained by Yuan Shaoyi.
He can do it to maintain world peace.
He has no qualms about the national treasure, and his personality is quite noble; and the most important thing is The important thing is that at this time, I have an invincible buff, an online game term, which means magic or spells that can add enhanced status to the game character.
In addition, I have a new Japanese sword.
This is a rare opportunity to get a real-life version of Invincible Contra.
Ah, if I don’t try it now, when will I wait?
"I appreciate your kindness."
Tong Guohu chuckled and rejected Zhang Yicheng without hesitation, "You are too young.

Although you are protected by a true immortal, I am afraid that the true immortal is also a newcomer and has not practiced much.
If something happens to you, I can't explain it to your family."
"Immortal, there are novices and veterans."
Zhang Yicheng was also stunned when Tong Guohu said this.
"Of course" Tong Guohu nodded, as if he was not joking, "It is easy to deal with the new resentment in the body, but if it stays on the body for a long time and cultivates into the real body, it will be difficult to deal with.
The same goes for immortals.
There is a process of cultivation.
The immortal in you has a purple rhyme and a clear blue light.
You are obviously a novice.
If you take such an immortal to take risks, I am afraid you will lose your wife and lose your troops."
"Then how can I let him practice?"
It was also the first time Zhang Yicheng heard that immortals also want to practice, and it was quite new for a while.
"You don't have to do anything.
As time goes by, you will be able to cultivate on your own.
If you want him to practice quickly, then you should also practice yourself."
Tong Guohu said, "If you chant sutras and listen to the Dharma, he will practice quickly.
If you seek pleasure, he will practice quickly."
Cultivation will be slow.”
"Forget about chanting, just slow down."
As soon as he heard the chanting, Zhang Yicheng's head immediately grew three times, "By the way, Brother Tong, can I tell my dad what you said today?"
"That's necessary."
Tong Guohu looked a little solemn, "If your father doesn't agree with you taking the risk, I will think of other ways":
