Wei Chigui didn't expect Li Haitang to come out so quickly, so he quietly escorted her to the orchard in the north mountain col of the Li clan and said goodbye.He wanted to take his mother back to Wei Chi's house in the northwest, after all, it was the best place for his mother, and his father was buried there.Riding the carriage from the orchard back to the Xiqiao Pavilion, until Zhuge Yi sneaked in and sat in front of her, Li Haitang was always immersed in a gloomy mood.She stared at the wooden box in her hand.The wooden box was handed over to her by Li Junshen at the request of Wu Yinling, saying that it was a food box for her to put candied fruits, but it was actually a deerskin.The palm-sized square box is carved with beautiful magnolia flowers.The magnolia stamens are made of beeswax stone, and the fine goose yellow is embedded in the ancient sandalwood like a picturesque finishing touch.Zhuge Yi tasted a round of tea, and saw her holding a wooden box like a treasure, and suddenly had pantothenic acid in her mouth, stomach, and heart......
All in all, it's very unpleasant."
This box is good, it's a hundred years old.It's just that the color of the beeswax is a little worse, but it's a pity that this piece of good wood is good. ”The tsundere boy said that his vision was unique and not comparable to ordinary people, and he didn't mind that she accepted gifts from "wild men" at will.Li Haitang, who was staring at the wooden box in a daze, completely ignored a sour young man, twisted the copper buckle of the lid of the box, took out the deerskin wrapped in a silk handkerchief and spread it on the table of the Eight Immortals, she silently carefully examined the pictures on the deerskin."
Who gave this to you?"
Zhuge Yi's eyebrows were furrowed, he was very familiar with the map on the deerskin, because he had a similar map in the study of Mo Yuxuan in the Han Pavilion.This buckskin map is smaller and more streamlined than his."
Master, this is Ciyu Town, this is Qishan Town, this is Yanxia Town, this is ......"
"Qingzhou."
Zhuge Yi replied, pulling the deerskin map towards himself, and tapped the lower right corner of the map with his slender fingers, a valley surrounded by mountains, "This is the fairyland of Jiuhuazhou, separated from Yanxia Town by five mountains, and separated from Qingzhou by two mountains." ”"Whose territory is Jiuhuazhou Wonderland?"
Li Haitang scratched her ears, this place name is so familiar, but she can't remember who she heard about it."
Poison Saint Xiuyan."
Zhuge Yi searched for the Mobei grassland on the deerskin map but found that the map was drawn very simply, and the fairyland of the three towns, Qingzhou and Jiuhuazhou was drawn extremely finely, and he also deliberately enlarged it so that people could see it clearly.On the contrary, the Mobei Grassland, the Northeast Black Mountain Ridge, the Northwest Ancient City and the Western Regions only left a cinnabar record, and even the place name was not marked."
Who gave this buckskin map?
In my opinion, if Li Junshen sees this thing, he will definitely regard it as a treasure, and it will never be possible to give it to you. ”"Master guessed right, this thing was indeed not given by Brother Shen."
Li Haitang folded the deerskin map according to the creases, wrapped it in a silk handkerchief, and carefully treasured it in a wooden box.She stretched out her hand to Zhuge Yi and asked, "Master, the little copper lock." ”Zhuge Yi smiled dumbly, and ordered out of thin air, "Go to Abel and ask for one", stared at the rude little girl, and quipped with interest."
Don't talk about the copper chain, even the gold lock is willing to give it to you.As the saying goes, if you don't have merit, you can't give it, since you want to go to the copper lock, you should also satisfy your curiosity as a teacher.Hurry up and recruit from the truth, what kind of bastard thing sent such an interesting gift, for the teacher to take advantage of the night to teach that guy a good lesson, dare to hook up with my young and ignorant little apprentice under the nose of the teacher, that guy is bold. ”"Master, are you pretending to be Aunt Jiu?"
Li Haitang reached out to pick Zhuge Yi's chin and asked curiously: "I heard that in addition to Aunt Lan, she can also make fake skin for human faces."
Just stick it to your face and you can become a different person.Master, did you ask Aunt Lan to make a fake face?
”"Haha, Tang'er is so smart."
Zhuge Yi seemed to wake up in a dream, excitedly hugged the little girl who was persistently picking his chin, kissed him fiercely, and praised: "As a teacher, I really want to ask Aunt Lan to make a few more human skin masks, and it will be more convenient to act in the future." ”"What does that mean?""
I won't tell you yet, but you'll understand when you use it later."
Zhuge Yi was overjoyed and began to plot to make a few human skin masks enough for him to act.But after being happy, he continued to tangle with the buckskin map in the wooden box, and he was faintly worried."
Tang'er, tell me, who gave this deerskin map?"
Zhuge Yi suddenly became serious, and Haitang also noticed his strangeness.Li Haitang hugged the wooden box tightly in his arms, squinted his black apricot eyes and asked vigilantly."
Is it important?""
Yes.""
How important?"
Zhuge Yi didn't want to say in detail, but when he saw that she looked like "protecting food", he had to admit frankly.Let her understand the importance of that deerskin map, and even invite death.He forcibly snatched the wooden box, opened, took it out, and spread it out in one go.The slender index finger tapped the dense and countless cinnabar records of Porcelain Yuzhen on the deerskin map."
All the shops and mansions marked on the map are the great merchants of power and wealth in the town of Ciyu, and some are even imperial merchants.You see, even the Wuxin Courtyard and the Pavilions are marked, but the Yansheng Hall is not marked. ”"Because it's an ancestral hall, in addition to the gods of the ancestors of the eight clans, the most valuable thing is the bronze incense tripod."
Li Haitang said it for granted, but she didn't understand what was valuable in Wuxinyuan and Xiqiao Pavilion?"
Strategists and puppets."
Zhuge Yi explained her confusion and said: "Now you and I are strategists and puppets in the eyes of others, I can give advice to the magnates to satisfy their ambitions, and you can unite the clansmen of the eight major clans instead of them."
You are a puppet in their hands, and your dignity is given by them. ”Li Haitang suddenly realized, smiled bitterly, and said, "I see."
No wonder Wuxinyuan and Xiqiao Pavilion have also become the targets of annexation, rightly!
Reasonable!
”Zhuge Yi patted her on the shoulder and comforted her not to care too much, it was not worth it to be sad for that group of cold-blooded and ruthless people.He saw that there were not many cinnabar markers in Yanxia Town and Qishan Town, and it was obvious that these two towns were not many great merchants and imperial merchants who could rise to prominence under the control of Ling Eighteen and Qin Wu, and they could not become the target of the cartographers."
If you plan according to the markings on the deerskin map, it will not be difficult to swallow up all the shops or mansions in a few years, and the person behind the scenes will become the lord of the world who even the emperor will bow down when he sees him.""
The emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can he bow down to a lowly merchant?"
Li Haitang didn't believe that anyone in this world dared to compete with the emperor.Zhuge Yiwan said: "The emperor is in charge of the governance of the world, and the person who plans is in charge of the wealth of the world, and the two seemingly unrelated people each have different rivers and mountains, and the emperor who ultimately owns the country must be the loser."
Let's ask an emperor who is so poor that he wants to use it to conquer the Quartet, repair and build embankments, reward hundreds of officials, and how to raise 3,000 beauties in the harem. ”Li Haitang could hear it, and couldn't guess why the woman would send her a deerskin map?
Could it be that the person she really wants to give a gift to Zhuge Yi is?"
Master, this deerskin map was drawn by the Ryuki woman before she went crazy.Today I went to Li's Zhongzheng Mansion to see Mrs.
Li, and Wei Chigui suddenly appeared and gave me the deerskin.I think the person that Ryukyu really wants to send is you. ”"This deerskin map was not drawn by the Ryu-woman."
Zhuge Yi refolded the deerskin map and put it back in the small wooden box, and he already had a guess in his heart.() Glory to the end
