Zhao Yueming smiled heartily, took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it directly to Cui Hao.
"Mr. Cui, if you don't mind, this is my thank you gift. You can keep it first and then listen to me slowly tell you."
Cui Hao's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the piece of jade.
He immediately took it, breathed on the jade, and wiped it carefully with his sleeve.
"The best warm Tian Jade, Mr. Zhao is so generous. This thing can be used as a greeting gift. As expected, the Zhao family in Dongdu is rich and powerful."
Cui Hao couldn't let go of the baby after seeing it.
He immediately greeted his men with a smile and asked them to quickly bring snacks to entertain Zhao Yueming.
"Mr. Zhao, since you have given me such a generous gift, I, the fat man, will definitely live up to your instructions. Let's get straight to the point, why are you here?"
Zhao Yueming nodded and directly stated his intention.
"I heard that the four major families have entered the Jade Pool in Chang'an. The purpose of my visit this time is also for the Jade Pool. I don't know if Shopkeeper Cui is interested in the Jade Pool. I hope to hire you to follow me down and find a person. thing."
Cui Hao was stunned for a moment.
He nodded his chest in disbelief.
"Hire me? You can just find a few tomb robbers to accompany you. My usual business is to help people make orders, sell treasures, gain connections, or inquire about news on the street. Grave robbing is not a craft I am good at. You need to find It would be ridiculous for me to go there."
Cui Hao also speaks openly and simply.
Zhao Yueming's eyes were soft, but his eyes fell on me.
Cui Hao followed his gaze and seemed to understand something the moment he saw my face.
Cui Hao opened his eyes wide.
"You fell in love with the young prince and wanted him to take you down, right? Then you begged me from the side?"
Zhao Yueming did not refute, but nodded slightly.
Cui Hao suddenly had a helpless expression, and simply gave up his seat, sat aside, and then pushed the piece of Hetian jade back to the table.
"Then I'm sorry, you can't ask me about this. I can't be the master of the young prince. You two can discuss it among yourselves. If the young prince is willing to go, then I will naturally not stop him. If he is not willing to go, I will never do it. The method is forced."
Zhao Yueming happily pushed the piece of jade back.
"Mr. Cui, this is a meeting gift I gave you. There is no need to take it back. I have another one for the young prince."
I looked at Zhao Yueming in surprise and confusion, wondering what treasures he would bring out.
But neither of us expected that the next thing Zhao Yueming took out was just a neatly folded piece of A4 paper.
Even the veteran Cui Hao was dumbfounded.
What kind of gift is a piece of A4 paper?
Zhao Yueming pushed the paper in front of me with a sly look in his eyes.
"Young Master, you might as well open it and take a look. I think you will definitely be interested in the things inside. Of course, you will definitely not suffer any loss when you go to Cuiyu Pond this time."
I nodded and unfolded the paper.
Cui Hao also came over curiously, lay on my shoulder and looked inside the paper.
Just the moment we saw the content above, we both froze on the spot.
There were only three big characters written on it, Princess Sword.
I looked up at Li Yueming.
"what do you mean?"
Princess Sword, isn't this one of the three treasures that the head of the Han family asked me to retrieve?
No wonder Zhao Yueming said that I would definitely be interested in the things inside. This princess sword and paper man cone are what I have been looking for.
Cui Hao has been asking me about the whereabouts of these two items in many ways recently, but there is still no clue.
It's just that I didn't expect that Zhao Yueming actually had news in this regard.
Zhao Yueming smiled and knocked on the table.
"I know the whereabouts of this Princess Sword. Of course, I have never thought that I could get you to do things for me with just an address. I admire the reputation of your grandfather, Mr. Chen San, and I also believe that you have the ability. You can help me successfully get what I want from the deep underground pool, so this time the two of us can be considered as cooperating. I will tell you clearly that the Princess Sword is under the Jade Pool."
I instantly narrowed my eyes and stared at Zhao Yueming in front of me carefully, trying to distinguish the truth from falsehood in his words.
I couldn't tell that he was trying to trick me into going down with him, and that the thing was really at the bottom of the deep pool.
Seeing the doubt on my face, Zhao Yueming hurriedly explained to me.
"I can swear on the reputation of my Zhao family that I will never lie or lie. I said something is down there, and it must be down there. And I will definitely cooperate with you, the young prince, to help you get this princess sword from the ground. return."
With that said, Zhao Yueming suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to me again.
"But I only have one request, that is, I hope you, young prince, will follow me on this trip. The future rise and fall of my Zhao family will only depend on this trip."
The rise and fall of the Zhao family?
What does the prosperity and decline of their family have to do with this Jade Pool?
I asked about the situation in confusion.
It's just that this time Zhao Yueming didn't seem to want to say anything, and just waved his hand gently at me.
"This is a secret within the family. It is not convenient for me to reveal it to outsiders. But if you want to buy it and agree to help me, I will naturally tell you when we get out of the pond. I can only guarantee you that the princess sword you need will definitely be Down below, I just ask you to follow us into the water.”
His attitude is quite modest and reasonable.
I thought for a moment, but couldn't decide whether to go down or not.
Zhao Yueming came here with bad intentions, and the words he spoke made me a little confused.
Cui Hao came to my side and gently patted my shoulder.
After getting my attention, he hurriedly leaned towards my ear.
"Young prince, I have nothing to do anyway, why don't we follow him down there. According to what he wants, there should be a lot of treasures underground. Anyway, I want to follow him to see the things underground and gain a wider perspective on the world. .”
Cui Hao's voice was not soft, and he deliberately said it to Zhao Yueming.
Zhao Yueming immediately spoke and assured.
"Mr. Cui is right, there are indeed many treasures buried below, because it is said that the first thing buried under the jade pool was originally the tomb of a princess. Because the princess was buried in water, there were a large number of people around her Burial objects, and what our Zhao family needs is one of them."
As he said that, Zhao Yueming's eyes fell involuntarily toward the window.
"As for the four major families, they each have their own purposes. Based on what you know about them, these four major families are not good friends. How could they go to the bottom of the Jade Pond to redress the grievances of a few dead people in order to quell the strange phenomena coming from the sky? ? This is precisely because there are things inside, there are treasures they need, so these four families rushed down, just for fear of being robbed by others. "
Having said that, I was also thinking and considering carefully whether I should agree directly.
Cui Hao is more straightforward than me.
He stood up on the spot, his eyes shining and pointing at the piece of Hetian jade in his hand.
"How does the quality of those treasures compare with this piece of Hetian jade?"
Zhao Yueming responded to Cui Hao with a smile.
"Only high, not low."
Cui Hao immediately saw Qian's eyes and agreed immediately.
"That's no problem. I'll go with you this time. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do for a while, so I can just go and look for treasures underground. Maybe I can open a business and make some more money."
Cui Hao's enthusiastic look made me speechless for a while.
But this guy is quite obsessed with money. I vaguely heard two of his men saying that Cui Hao seemed to be saving a lot of money to do something.
At present, he has saved nearly half of it.
As for the specific details of this matter, no one except Cui Hao himself knows.
Since Cui Hao didn't want to say anything, I never asked him from beginning to end.
But with such an opportunity in front of him, and a large amount of money to be bankrolled, Cui Hao would definitely not let it go.
Anyway, I also want to bring the Princess Sword back, so there's no harm in going there.
So I nodded slightly and agreed.
"Mr. Zhao, I agree."
After thinking about it, I opened the door and dragged Wang Wangyang in, who was waiting in the yard.
"Also, Mr. Zhao, I want to take a friend of mine back with me. I wonder if you can agree?"
Wang Wangyang saluted, and Zhao Yueming waved his hand carelessly.
"Of course, you can. Both of your trusted subordinates can go with you, so that our chance of success will be higher. After all, we have actually set off late, and the four people are still guarding the surroundings. Maybe they have been found below. We have something, we have to act as soon as possible.”
Zhao Yueming stood up and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
"I wonder if you two can finish preparations tomorrow. We will set off early the next morning."
Cui Hao smiled and nodded.
When we came back from Dingguan Stone Monument last time, we were waiting for some equipment, but almost all of it had not been sorted out.
If necessary, you can just put it on your back and set off immediately. You only need to prepare some food and water.
But I'm still a little curious.
So he took a step forward and stopped Zhao Yueming.
"Mr. Zhao, the matter of entering the water has been decided. But I want to ask you what is the relationship between Zhao Lei and you? This guy sneaked into the Han family's house. Do you know this?"
After listening to my words, a look of anger appeared on Zhao Yueming's face.
He walked up to me in two steps and looked directly at me.
"What you said is true. That brat went to the Han family's house? Is there a woman with him?"
I nodded.
Zhao Yueming was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"I warned him that it was impossible for him to have sex with that woman. Why didn't this kid just listen to my advice? That woman is the daughter of the Han family, and she shoulders the fate of guarding the house of the Han family. She has a life-locking hundred ghosts on her body. , it was specially refined by the Han family to guard the family home, and it is absolutely impossible to give it away to someone else as a wife. I have persuaded Zhao Lei many times, but this kid just doesn't listen to me."
