Life in siheyuan era

Prince Rui refused to answer other questions, and proposed with great interest: "It's my turn to ask you two, what dynasty is it now? Who is the emperor?" His knowledge of this world comes from a record.

Zhou Zhiyuan opened the first page of this record, which read: "On the night of the seventeenth day of the third month of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, the eunuch Cao surrendered to the rebels..." Seeing this, Zhou Zhiyuan silently closed the page and handed it to Shen Lanyin to put away.

Prince Rui protested: "I found this."

Zhou Zhiyuan replied in a deep voice: "Return the original to its owner."

Prince Rui looked at him and replied readily: "I am a generous person, let's talk about..."

Zhou Zhiyuan interrupted him, "You made a copy, so you don't care about the original."

"You know about copying?"

Prince Rui asked in doubt, and then said: "Can we have some trust?"

"You lied first, you ran out without permission, and the mission is a lie."

"Evidence, without evidence it's slander."

"You said the shuttle can carry two people, where is the other person? It can't be Xiao Hei, right?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiyuan turned to look at the black cat, who meowed to indicate that it had nothing to do with it.

Prince Rui also turned to look at the black cat, then turned back to him and said sincerely: "I am a prince with a spirit of sacrifice."

Zhou Zhiyuan sighed and replied: "You are a troublemaker, let me ask you a very important question, is the 'Jǔ' creature from our world?"

He was concerned about the 'Jǔ', and suddenly thought of this question.

He knew that Prince Rui was hiding many things, other things were understandable, but this matter must be clarified.

Hearing him ask this question, Prince Rui pondered for a moment and replied: "It might hurt your self-esteem, but since you asked, if I don't tell you, it would seem like we don't have enough friendship. Let me put it this way, according to this record, whether your world has 'Jǔ' or not, it's all the same."

Hearing this answer, Zhou Zhiyuan immediately changed the subject: "Where is the treasure?"

"You are also greedy for money."

Prince Rui exclaimed, and then said: "Two and one make five..." Saying this, he glanced at Shen Lanyin and continued: "Let's make it thirty-one, I'm always generous."

"Do you also like gold and silver jewelry?"

"These are my spoils of war."

"It belongs to our country."

Zhou Zhiyuan's attitude was firm, there was no room for bargaining on this matter, Prince Rui couldn't even take away a silver ingot.

Faced with his determination, Prince Rui said lightly: "Let's negotiate." He seemed to have a special liking for negotiation.

Zhou Zhiyuan agreed and proposed the first item for negotiation, "In public, you entered our country's territory without authorization and smashed the rocks, destroying the Feng Shui of Fangshan. How much money should you pay in compensation?"

"In private, Xiao Hei suddenly appeared and startled me, causing me great psychological harm. Let's calculate the compensation for this mental damage carefully."

"Also, due to your mismanagement, the 'Jǔ' possessed the skeleton and attacked me twice, causing great harm to my body and to the psychology of me and my partner. This compensation fee also needs to be discussed carefully."

"Finally, my partner and I saved you from danger, shouldn't you express something? Now let's start talking."

Zhou Zhiyuan put forward the negotiation items, Prince Rui immediately entered a state of silence, while Shen Lanyin looked at Prince Rui, then looked at Zhou Zhiyuan, covering her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

So they fell into silence, and Xiao Hei, standing on Prince Rui's shoulder, changed from a standing position to a lying position, and fell asleep snoring on his shoulder.

After a long silence, Prince Rui sighed and said: "You are pure on the outside, but insidious and ruthless on the inside. I'll take you two to the treasure house, otherwise you two will just wander around and won't be able to find it."

He used the treasure house as compensation, and Zhou Zhiyuan agreed: "The compensation for the mental damage caused to me is off the table."

Prince Rui said angrily: "You are too greedy, I have no money."

"If you have no money, you can use Xi'er to pay off the debt."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Lanyin reached out and pinched his waist, while Prince Rui asked in surprise: "What is Xi'er?"

He didn't know what Xi'er was, this question was very profound, so profound that many college students decades later didn't know either.

But at this time, everyone knew it. Zhou Zhiyuan could tell him a story to make him understand what a new society is.

He was telling stories to Prince Rui here, trying to establish a united front between the two worlds.

Meanwhile, the elite team led by Zhang Limin and Shen Lanbo, after searching for half the night, joined up with the exploration team led by Curator Shi this morning, and formed a joint command post.

In the command post tent, Curator Shi pointed to the map and said: "This is a Fangshan map that we hastily drew. Expand three miles to both sides from the location provided by Comrade Liu Wenxiang, and search upwards along the location where the mutton fat jade was found."

The search range proposed by Curator Shi was very reasonable. Zhang Limin stared at the map and nodded slightly. Just as he was about to issue an order, the tent curtain was lifted and several figures walked in one after another.

Hearing him say the Taiji formation, Xie Yun asked in a low voice: "Did you judge it from this piece of mutton fat jade?"

Taoist Zhang replied slowly: "I observed for a morning, negated several answers, and finally determined that only the yin formation in the Taiji formation can make this jade so cold. This jade should have been immersed in the extremely cold place of the yin formation for a long time."

Hearing his explanation, Xie Yun nodded lightly, while Shen Jue asked in a deep voice: "May I ask, Taoist priest, since the mutton fat jade is in the yin formation, how did it come to the yang formation?"

"This is what we need to consider..." Taoist Zhang replied seriously: "The loud noise mentioned by this Comrade Liu may have instantly destroyed the balance of the Taiji formation, causing the mutton fat jade to come to the yang formation. What we need to consider is how to destroy the balance of this great formation?"

After saying this, Taoist Zhang turned to Section Chief Luo and said: "Chief, you can order to restore the original search plan."

Then he said to Xie Yun: "Old friend, accompany me for a walk."

He asked Xie Yun to accompany him, but Xie Yun waved to Shen Lanbo. After they walked out of the tent, Zhang Limin said to a young soldier beside him: "Send six soldiers to protect them."

The young soldier turned around and left to arrange it. Section Chief Luo asked curiously: "Why six soldiers?"

Zhang Limin smiled bitterly and replied: "Zhiyuan likes the number nine. Six soldiers plus the three of them makes nine."

"Superstition." Section Chief Luo whispered, and then ordered: "Let everyone rest for an hour and start searching according to the original plan."

On this side, Section Chief Luo issued an order. As the search team spread out, Zhou Zhiyuan picked up the night-luminescent pearl and handed it to Shen Lanyin, saying indifferently: "This ray of fluorescence is what we need in the dark."

Shen Lanyin took the night-luminescent pearl and looked at it carefully with the light from Prince Rui's helmet. It was about five centimeters in diameter, crystal clear, and emitted a faint green light in the darkness.

While she was examining the night-luminescent pearl, Prince Rui glanced at it and turned to Zhou Zhiyuan and said: "You like night-luminescent pearls, we have plenty of them. If you come with me, you can have as many as you want."

Prince Rui invited Zhou Zhiyuan again, but Shen Lanyin scolded in a low voice: "No."

This attitude gave Prince Rui an idea, and he turned to invite Shen Lanyin, "This place is like a maze. I've been exploring for a long time and haven't found a way out. You two will just be waiting to die here. How about this, I'll take you away."

When he said this, Zhou Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but Shen Lanyin resolutely replied: "I'm not going."

Then she asked: "Why don't you use the shuttle to send Zhiyuan out first, and then come back to pick me up?"

Shen Lanyin put forward a solution, this was her doubt, Prince Rui didn't go out. Was it because he didn't dare to go out, or was there another reason?

Prince Rui replied frankly: "If I could do it, I would have gone out long ago, why bother being trapped here?"

He was also very distressed by this problem. He thought he had discovered a new continent when he came here, but what's the use of not being able to get out?

It was not easy to meet two living people. This man with a pair of pure eyes was actually an insidious and cunning man, full of greed for his shuttle.

He wanted to keep the shuttle and let Prince Rui walk home. Of course, Prince Rui could also stay and become a good citizen of the new society.

This guy was eloquent, and even used delicacies such as chicken stew with mushrooms to lure him, almost making Prince Rui stay.

Fortunately, Prince Rui's willpower was very strong, he missed home.

Zhou Zhiyuan expressed his understanding, but it was necessary to negotiate and reach an agreement on compensation for both public and private matters.

He said very reasonably: "The shuttle is your transportation to go home, but you can leave the tracker and the closed channel transmitter."

He was not greedy, but Prince Rui resolutely refused: "They are part of the shuttle, and cannot be disassembled."

"Unscientific." Zhou Zhiyuan concluded, and then said: "Leaving the blueprints is also acceptable."

"No."

"Then what do you have?"

The negotiations between the two sides entered a stage of meticulous calculation.

Prince Rui said angrily: "You are a ruthless person."

Zhou Zhiyuan replied: "We are parting ways, and there may be no chance to meet again in this life, so I will only talk about money and not feelings with you."

What he said was a bit sentimental, so Prince Rui shouted: "Do you want to play the emotional card with me?"

The two sides met in a hurry and separated in a hurry, where did the feelings come from? As the shuttle disappeared into a series of black and white wave patterns, Prince Rui left with Xiao Hei.

Zhou Zhiyuan sighed softly and said: "Let's go."

He didn't know whether Prince Rui's journey home would be smooth, but he knew that he would face a difficult road home.
