When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 26 Taizu’s Treasure and Dragon Veins

From the moment Li Shun saw Zhang Jinzhong in front of the city gate, he was always vigilant and his senses were turned on to the maximum.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world!The second time he left the palace, he met an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for many years?He is still the favored and trusted person of the late emperor!And what he presented happened to be related to his recent refining of alchemy!

It’s a coincidence to the extreme that it’s no longer a coincidence!There must be someone behind the scenes!The most important thing is that Li Shun also sensed extremely strong energy fluctuations in him.The level is close to half of Li Shun's. You must know that the three leaders of the Shenmu Cult that he fought against before have not even half as much energy as him.

"I was so miserably deceived!"

Li Shun sometimes "hates" himself for awakening his consciousness!But he is also a person who is quite suspicious, curious and voyeuristic, and he always likes to keep things to himself.Although it is not as exaggerated as mind reading and cannot know what the other person is thinking, through reasonable analysis, one can also determine whether a sentence is true or false.

This makes him no longer qualified to enjoy the joy of "flattery"!He finally understood what it meant to be "rarely confused". The heartless, pure and silly happiness he had before was gone forever.

Zhang Jinzhong's expression just now is quite exciting, but his emotional changes are also quite exciting.His initial panic was fake!The fear in the middle is fake!Only the elation at the end is real!That might be because he was happy to deceive Lee Soon!
If the emotion when others are talking is like rice porridge, it will be full of water.In his words, it was eight-treasure porridge made of whole grains. It was not only rich in water, but also had some messy ingredients added, such as the late emperor's edict and the dragon-slaying organization.

This brought great difficulty to Li Shun in judging the authenticity!The advanced stage of lying is half-truth and half-falsehood, adulteration of truth, and truth within falsehood.From the current point of view, the late emperor’s edict should be true!After all, what is said in it has comparisons in reality.With an attitude of doubt, I am not sure. If I want to identify the authenticity of this thing, I have to meet someone.

In a small room in the palace, with moldy walls and a bed made of several bundles of straw, Qin Gaoxian held a steamed bun in his hand, without a drop of oil in the dish, and looked at the iron window with tears in his eyes.People always learn to cherish when they lose something.Although he was trapped in the Changsheng Palace before, he was still more or less free.The leftover food in the palace was unpalatable, with a few shreds of meat mixed in.Otherwise, he wouldn't just be described as sloppy, how could he still maintain a standard body shape?

There is no harm without contrast.The current emperor is more moody and unpredictable than the previous emperor.He was willing to do it, so it stands to reason that the emperor should come rushing over to listen!As soon as he reluctantly said some watered-down words, the emperor believed him.He also achieved his goal.

What's the point of keeping this secret?Qin Gaoxian felt that he was being manipulated.Just when he was worrying about his fate, he shouted "Old wise man! The emperor is here to see you." His breath was interrupted, and the already rough food got stuck in his throat.

When Li Shun came in, he saw Qin Gaoxian holding his neck and struggling: "Quick! Save people!"

Several guards who were guarding him immediately went over and beat him on the chest, but to no avail. They saw that his face began to turn red and purple.

Li Shun couldn't stand it anymore and said to a guard: "Stand on his back, fold your hands, put the thumb and metacarpal joint of your right hand against the center of his abdomen, and press the palm of your other hand on your right fist, inward. , rapid upward impact."

The guard hesitated to make such a shameful gesture.

Li Shun yelled angrily: "What are you waiting for! Help is urgent!"

The guard could only do as he was told, and after seven or eight strokes, a piece of steamed bread coughed out of Qin Gaoxian's throat, and he lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

Li Shun did not expect that such an unexpected incident would happen. He looked at Qin Gaoxian indifferently, drove away the guards, and while his fear was still lingering, he said directly: "Qin Gaoxian, do you have the imperial edict of the late emperor in your hands?"

"No..." Qin Gaoxian reacted mid-sentence: "Old slave, I don't know what the emperor means?"

"You're still not honest! I'm going to stuff the remaining steamed buns into your mouth!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life, I am willing to recruit you! The late emperor had a legacy, but it was stolen!"

"Who stole it?"

"The old slave doesn't know that the imperial edict was written by the late emperor before his death and was handed over to the slave for safekeeping. But that night was so chaotic that the old slave was knocked unconscious as soon as he left the palace. When he woke up, he found that the edict had been stolen. .”

"What is the content of the edict? Don't tell me, you don't know!" "I know, I know, it says that the prince has no virtue, and you will be the emperor instead."

"Any more?"

"Gone."

"You're still lying!" Li Shun took out the piece of silk and shook it in his hand.

Qin Gaoxian panicked when he saw the silk fabric, knowing that he could no longer hide his secret, so he could only tell the truth: "Yes, the edict also mentioned Taizu's treasure and dragon veins!"

"Treasure of Taizu? Dragon Veins?" Li Shun opened the silk and checked again. There were no words on it at all.He threw the silk to Qin Gaoxian: "Do you see what's wrong with this edict?"

When Qin Gaoxian heard this and looked at Li Shun's actions, he immediately regretted it. Didn't the emperor know about Taizu's treasure and dragon vein?Is the edict in his hand a fake?Then you didn’t bring it upon yourself?impossible!The edict is indeed like this. It was written by the late emperor on the unique jade silk silk made by the previous dynasty.

He hurriedly picked up the imperial edict and looked at it, this?This edict has been tampered with!He was in a dilemma. He had already told the story about the treasure and the dragon vein. If the emperor could get this tampered edict, there must be other channels to know the truth. His value was gone. If he didn't tell the truth, he might be cut off by the emperor. .

"Your Majesty! This edict is indeed written by the late emperor, but it has been spliced ​​together and the content about treasures and dragon veins has been cut out!"

"I see."

"Your Majesty, I wonder who gave you this edict?" Qin Gaoxian wanted to know who plotted against him back then!
The eunuch is an incomplete man. An incomplete man must have an incomplete heart, greedy for money, and vengeful. If the edict had not been lost, he would not have been so passive!
Although there is a high probability of failure, there is no need to pretend to be crazy and live stupidly.Moreover, the sneak attack that year caused him lifelong injuries that will never be healed!The "treasure" he had hidden on his body was also missing.This means that he will remain an incomplete man after death!
"An acquaintance of yours."

"Zhao Zhongxiao?"

Li Shun shook his head and pretended to be mysterious: "It's very close."

Qin Gaoxian had an idea and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Jinzhong! I should have thought it was him!"

Li Shun was surprised that Qin Gaoxian guessed accurately: "I didn't expect you to be so smart."

Qin Gaoxian smiled bitterly: "I have suspected him a long time ago, but there is no evidence."

Li Shun aroused hatred: "He is much more comfortable than you now."

Qin Gaoxian knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to tell you everything I know, but there is one requirement, and that is that Zhang Jinzhong must die!"

Li Shun was in trouble: "Oh, this is not going to be easy. Both of you are dishonest. Since he has a complete will, he must also know about the treasure and dragon veins. Why don't I ask him directly, but Want to help you?"

Qin Gaoxian snorted coldly: "What's the use if he knows the edict? If he wants to find the treasure, he must have a map!"

Li Shun immediately guessed: "The map is in Wuji Hall?"

Qin Gaoxian looked at Li Shun in fear, is the emperor a monster?

Li Shun was very satisfied with Qin Gaoxian's expression. You tried your best to prevent me from entering Wuji Hall. There must be something you care about inside. Considering your past greed for money, what else could it be besides a treasure map?
