Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 208
And there are only a handful of people in the whole world who can spend tens of thousands of gold to buy this demon pill, and only those aristocratic families can afford it. What's the difference between this and children carrying gold to the streets.

More importantly, even if he really met a well-meaning wealthy family who was willing to pay so much money for his demon pill, he still couldn't take it away.

1 taels of gold are exchanged for silver. At the current exchange price, that is about 12 taels of silver, which weighs seven or eight thousand catties. It takes three or four carriages to pull it. However, it is completely purchased with gold, and few families hoard it. There is so much gold, and even if he does get it, even if he is a small second-rate warrior, he can't keep the 10,000+ taels of silver.

After thinking hard for a long time, Zhang Yi wrote down three names on the side of the paper, Daqi, Daming, and Longhushan.

Now he has only three choices, one is to dedicate the Yao Pill to Emperor Ming, and the other is to dedicate it to Emperor Daqi, but what reward he can get from offering it depends on the other party's conscience. If the other party has no conscience, then he You can only admit that you are unlucky.

The last choice is to sell it to the Zhang family in Longhushan. As the leader of Taoism, the Zhang family is definitely not short of money, and with the status and status of the Zhang family, he will not be blackmailed by him, but it is not right to want the Zhang family to provide him with protection. Such an easy matter, after all, the Zhang family doesn't owe him anything, unless he is willing to sell the demon pill to the Zhang family at a very low price.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi couldn't help rubbing his forehead. For a powerless person like him, this demon pill is really useless. He is reluctant to give it up, but he can't keep it. If he keeps it by his side, it will even lead to death. .

...

On the other hand, as the Black Ice Terrace and Zhenma Division began to act, pieces of information about Zhang Yi were placed on Liao Qing's desk.

"There are so many houses in Zhang Yi?"

Looking at the information gathered from all over the place, Liao Qing raised his eyebrows. Zhang Yi actually has more than 40 houses in various parts of Shandong. Yes, more than 40 houses are worth thousands of taels of silver.

"Back to the commander, most of them were left by Zhang Yi's father when he opened the escort agency, and the others were bought by Zhang Yi when he was traveling abroad over the years."

The captain of Heibingtai on the side clapped his hands and replied, if Heibingtai and the Zhenmag Division hadn't acted at the same time, mobilizing the household registration files of various counties and the information left by Jinyiwei back then, it would be basically as difficult as boarding to find out these things. sky.

"Have someone go and check these places to see if anyone is living in these houses."

After thinking for a while, Liao Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Remember, don't startle the snake by making mistakes."

Since returning to Shandong, Zhang Yi has been hiding his tracks. No one knows where he is hiding. Previously, a master who was good at tracking wanted to use Master Hai's mana to track the location of the demon pill. Unfortunately, Master Hai is already dead. No, the breath in the demon core has long since dissipated.

The only thing that is certain now is that Zhang Yi is still in Shandong and has not left. This is the result of many divination experts who are good at divination.

Their advantage is that they can rely on the strength of the county gates in various places. If Zhang Yi escapes, it will be difficult to find Zhang Yi again. Zhang Yi may even flee Shandong directly. At that time, they and This demon pill was completely missed.

"Yes!"

The captain of the Black Ice Terrace on the side clapped his hands and said.

.........

Guangning Acropolis.

Yuan Chonghuan frowned as he looked at the news sent back from the various castles.

"Dong Weng, Oba and Abdul Zidarhan have already stood with Jian Nu, what should we do next?"

Tang Fang looked worried. Yuan Chonghuan sent him to the Horqin Ministry before. At that time, Oba and Abdul Zidarhan had clearly promised to stand by and watch. Unexpectedly, it was only two months before the other party backed down.

"This can only be covered by soldiers."

Yuan Chonghuan shook his head and said, "What I'm really worried about is not the Jurchens, but Daqi!"

"Dong Weng, although Da Qi occupies a lot of land in Liaodong, now that Da Ming and Da Qi have reached an agreement, Da Qi probably won't take action against us."

Hearing Yuan Chonghuan's words, Tang Fang wondered, as long as he followed the previous plan and took back the lost ground little by little, as long as he didn't rush forward, the Jurchens could always be driven out of Liaodong.

As for the territory now occupied by Daqi, to put it bluntly, Liaodong is bitterly cold, Daqi occupying this place is purely thankless, and Daqi is not like the Jurchen, who came from the more bitter slaves Gandusi They were able to adapt to this environment, but the soldiers and horses on Daqi's side were all from Shandong, so they couldn't adapt to this environment at all.

More importantly, Da Ming and Da Qi had an agreement first, and the other party didn't dare to do anything to them, otherwise they would take the initiative to tear up the agreement, and Da Ming could take this opportunity to attack Shandong.

Now that the Jurchens have been seriously injured, they will no longer be able to threaten Da Ming in a short time. Once Da Qi takes the initiative to tear up the agreement, then Da Ming can transfer them back to Shandong to fight the rebellion.

"My concern is that Daqi will become the next Houjin."

Yuan Chonghuan sighed, now Daqi has captured Gaizhou Weicheng, which means that Daqi can threaten Guangningwei at any time, even if he drives the Jurchens out of Liaodong, Liaodong is still not peaceful, because Daqi has taken root here Yes, according to the information obtained by the spies, Daqi has deployed nearly [-] soldiers and horses in Liaodong.

Regardless of the strength of the 10,000 troops, Daming had to keep at least [-]+ troops for defense just because of the [-] troops here, which is no different from the Jurchens here.

.........

Jiyang County.

Following the investigations of Heibingtai and Zhenmasi, Zhang Yi's hiding place was soon found out.

Outside the county seat, Fang Haichuan, Dong Shichang, Xie Bing and other first-class fighters all looked solemnly at a group of men in black not far away.

"I, Da Qi, found Zhang Yi first. Do you want to make my Da Qi an enemy?"

Liao Qing said in a low voice, "Although Da Qi has a geographical advantage, the other strong men who want the demon pill in Zhang Yi's hands are not fools. They can't conduct a thorough investigation like Da Qi, but they can cut off from it. Hei Bing The captains of Tai and Zhenma Division are basically ordinary people who are not in the top class, and they have no ability to keep secrets in the hands of these strong people.

"Master Hai's demon pill is not Da Qi's, is it Da Qi who wants to bully others?"

At this time, an old hoarse voice sounded, and then a hunched old man walked out from the men in black.

"Humph!"

Hearing the old man's words, Liao Qing snorted coldly: "Under the Putian, could it be the land of the king; on the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers; this demon pill appeared in Shandong, it is my Da Qi's thing, a group of hidden heads shrunk Even those with tails dare to croak!"

The Black Ice Terrace has records of the strong people who entered Shandong, but he has no impression of these people at all, so there is only one explanation, these people are all disguised.

"Whether it's something you've got together or not, there's nothing to prove it."

A figure stepped out from among the men in black: "We have no intention of making enemies with you Daqi, but since ancient times the treasures and virtuous people live there. If you Daqi want it, then use your abilities!"

"Since Your Excellency said so, then I, Da Qi, am not a bully."

At this time, Fang Haichuan stood up and said, "I just don't know how you want to fight?"

Although their strength is not weak, they are not stronger than the man in black on the opposite side. Those who have the courage to appear here, and the weakest ones are all first-class. They are not afraid of Daqi, after all, they basically come from all over the Ming Dynasty Yes, Da Qi's name alone can't scare the other party.

"It's up to you."

Hearing Fang Haichuan's words, the old man said hoarsely.

"Do you mean to fight in my Daqi's city?"

Hearing this, Fang Haichuan said coldly: "Your Excellency, do you think there is no one in Daqi?"

"Your Excellency misunderstood, this old man has no such intention."

Hearing Fang Haichuan's words, the old man's face suddenly changed. Although his foundation is not in Shandong, even if he provokes Daqi, as long as he returns to Daming, Daqi will not be able to do anything to him, but if Fang Haichuan deliberately makes people stop him, he will completely There is no chance to win that demon pill.

"If Zhang Yi chooses for himself, whoever he is willing to hand over the demon pill to is his, how about it?"

At this time, Chen Yi on the side said that he was originally a member of Jinyiwei in Qingzhou Mansion. When Gao Ting turned against him, he also surrendered and became the governor of the rear army's governor's mansion.

"No."

As soon as Chen Yi finished speaking, one of the men in black suddenly objected: "This is your Daqi territory, who can compare to you."

These people are all here to win treasures. Who would carry a lot of gold and silver on their body for no reason? If Zhang Yi had to choose by himself, Zhang Yi would definitely not choose them.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Fang Haichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, he had to solve it as soon as possible, the longer he waited, the more masters would come.

Hearing Fang Haichuan's words, all the men in black were a little bit embarrassed, and they didn't think about it when they joined forces.

"Everyone, what should we do now?"

The old man in black said: "This place is only forty or fifty miles away from Jinan Fucheng. If it drags on, we won't even have a chance to fight when other masters from Daqi come over."

Another person said: "Why don't you fight and run away after grabbing it. Whoever grabs it will own it. Life and death depend on fate."

"it is good."

The old man in black nodded. They were just improvised, and even if they wanted to work together, it was impossible. After all, no one wanted to cut off the heir for others.

The thousand-year-old demon pill is a priceless treasure, and only five of them have appeared in the entire Ming Dynasty over the past 200 years, and each of them has set off countless bloody storms. No one would expect others to keep a share of benefits after grabbing the demon pill.

"rush!"

The old man in black let out a low snort, and at the same time sprinkled his hand, a large cloud of thick black smoke swirled towards Fang Haichuan and the others.

"How dare you!"

Seeing this, Fang Haichuan snorted coldly: "Go to the city!"

Although he didn't want to harm the people in the city, but the other party didn't want to settle the matter outside the city, so he couldn't do anything about it.

...

In the county town, outside a residential house, Zhang Yi panickedly looked at several men in black official uniforms outside the door. As a native of Shandong, he naturally knew these official uniforms.

Black Ice Terrace!
Daqi's Jinyiwei!

"Don't panic, we won't snatch the demon pill from your hand."

Glancing at the panicked Zhang Yi, Zhang Siyang, the leader, said calmly: "Your Majesty has an order to announce you to enter the palace to face the saint."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately relaxed. He was only worried that the other party would suddenly kill people and steal money. If he went to see Emperor Da Qi, with the other party's status, he would never do such a tricky thing.

"alert!"

At this time, Zhang Siyang suddenly looked solemn, and looked into the distance, several figures were rushing towards him.

Hearing Zhang Siyang's words, the others acted one after another, surrounded Zhang Yi in the middle, and formed a battle formation with their weapons facing outward.

"roll!"

A man in black appeared in front of Zhang Siyang and slashed at Zhang Siyang.

At this moment, Zhang Siyang's left and right two black ice platform masters suddenly pressed their palms on Zhang Siyang's back, and a large amount of internal force poured into Zhang Siyang's body.

clang!
A knife and a sword collided, and the powerful fluctuations of internal force dispersed, a stream of blood overflowed from the corner of Zhang Siyang's mouth, and the man in black flew out backwards.

The next moment, another figure suddenly crashed into the battle formation of Zhang Siyang and the others, and slapped one left and one right.

puff!puff!
The two masters of the black ice platform spurted blood at the same time, flew upside down several feet away, crashed into the wall, and fell into the residential house. Without hesitation, the figure grabbed Zhang Yi with one claw.

At this time, a palm print shot towards the figure!

Sensing the deadly sense of danger brought by the palm print, the figure turned around and blasted out with a palm!
boom!
A muffled sound!
The figure took a step back, and Fang Haichuan floated to the ground.

"Wudang Mountain Shocking Palm!"

After landing, Fang Haichuan looked at the man in black and said calmly, "So it's Daoist Gao."

He was not surprised by the identity of the man in black. This time, there were masters from all major factions in the world, but because of the bad reputation of snatching treasures, most of them hid their identities.

"I didn't expect that Fang Tongzhi not only broke through the master of martial arts, but also comprehended palm."

Seeing the relaxed expression on Fang Haichuan's face, Gao Yi smiled wryly. He thought he had changed his appearance. As long as he didn't use his housekeeping skills, he could completely hide his identity. He didn't expect that Fang Haichuan would not only find out his old background, but also suffer from it. Internal injuries.

"Fang is no longer the commander of the Jinyiwei, does Master Gao still want to stay?"

Fang Haichuan looked calm, and it was not surprising that the other party knew him. He used to be the commander of Jin Yiwei, and most of the masters in the entire Jianghu knew him.

"No more."

Gao Yi sighed, turned around and ran away. If his identity had not been revealed, then he would not let go easily, but now that his identity has been revealed, there is no need for him to stay.

Even if he got the Yaodan, he didn't dare to use it, because Daming would definitely intervene, and Daqi is not a vegetarian. Although Daqi is indeed trapped in Shandong, it is hard to guarantee that one day, Daqi will not To become the co-lord of the world, at that time, the price Wudang has to pay will not only be a thousand-year demon pill, but it may even lose the identity of the current Taoist leader.
