The faint sadness in Liu Zhiheng's heart was instantly washed away. This kind of hooking action was the most annoying.
What do you want to tick? Do you have any manners?
Chun Cao on the side pulled Liu Zhiheng and said excitedly: "His Royal Highness King Yan is asking you to come over, sister, why don't you hurry up."
Liu Zhiheng could only get up reluctantly and walked out.
As soon as she reached Duan Wujiu's side, the others automatically pushed aside to give the two of them space to talk.
"You are so reluctant to give it to me. Is it because you don't want the two hundred taels of gold?"
"want to……"
Duan Wujiu looked helplessly at Liu Zhiheng, smiled, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know why you care so much about those two hundred taels of gold. Any piece of furniture in your house is worth more than this." Gold, why do you love money so much?”
"Ah?" Liu Zhiheng looked surprised and in disbelief, "Is my furniture valuable? Isn't it just made of wood? Isn't this Laoshan Mountain full of wood?"
"Don't you know?" Duan Wujiu frowned, "The wood in your house is not ordinary, it's all mahogany and huanghuali. I saw there is a section of agarwood on your bookshelf, and the carvings on your wardrobe are also made by masters. Handwriting..."
"I don't know...are you sure? Are you not mistaken?"
"I am famous for extravagance and extravagance. There is nothing in this world that I don't know about for fun and enjoyment. Do you think I will misjudge you? The Shuiyunjian tea set on your table is worth thousands of gold. , is a famous product made by the late layman Qingfeng."
Liu Zhiheng was completely stupid this time, wasn't he? If she knew her family was so rich from the beginning, why would she save Duan Wu Jiu? Why bother selling maps?
"Is my family so rich..." Liu Zhiheng muttered.
She knew that her father had a bit of a koi constitution. Even if a stone fell from the sky and hit him when he went out, it would still be a piece of jade. Could it be the property that her father had accumulated in the past?
Duan Wu Jiu looked at Liu Zhiheng, smiled thoughtfully, turned around and walked towards the door. Liu Zhiheng followed him to the door in a daze, his mind still recovering from the shock.
When he reached the door, Duan Wujiu stopped and Liu Zhiheng almost bumped into him.
"You haven't come to your senses yet? Why, do you regret it now? Should you offer me a higher price?"
Liu Zhiheng was speechless. She felt a little regretful, mainly because she didn't know anything about antiques, but she could tell whether any ore was valuable.
"Don't worry, you saved me after all. My life is worth more than two hundred taels of gold. I asked Ziyang to make all the arrangements." Duan Wujiu pointed to the purple-clothed bodyguard standing behind, "His two God has arranged everything and it will be delivered to you, just wait and receive the gift, you won’t be disappointed.”
Duan Wujiu got on his horse and looked at Liu Zhiheng again. He didn't know why, but Duan Wujiu's temper automatically became better when facing the woman in front of him.
"then."
Duan Wujiu threw something in the direction of Liu Zhiheng. Liu Zhiheng subconsciously took it and looked down to see that it was Duan Wujiu's jade pendant.
"Since I said I would send it to you, there is no reason to come back. Just keep it. I am gone and we will never see you again."
After giving Liu Zhiheng one last look, Duan Wujiu turned his head without hesitation and rode away. The people he brought, including those who were magistrates of prefectures and counties, also left one after another.
Doctor Feng quickly followed Duan Wujiu.
"Your Majesty, you really don't want to take this person back?"
"I don't like to force myself. Why, is she the only one in the world with a body of pure Yang? She is just a village girl, nothing special. I don't have to ask her, I can just look for her."
Doctor Feng sighed helplessly, "As long as the prince doesn't regret it."
"I never look back."
Duan Wujiu rode away...
Liu Zhiheng watched everyone go away.
After everyone had gone away, Chuncao dared to come over, pulled Liu Zhiheng and said, "Sister, everyone has gone..."
Liu Zhiheng withdrew his gaze and recovered all the last bit of melancholy in his heart.
"Chuntao, go back and tell your parents, can you come and stay at my house today?"
"It doesn't matter, I will live here directly. There is no need to tell them. Who doesn't know that the prince has lived in your house? They don't dare to interfere with my affairs now."
"You close the courtyard door for me. I won't see anyone who comes. If anyone comes to ask, just do what you want."
…
At night, as soon as Duan Wujiu arrived at his villa in Pingzhou, all the officials from Pingzhou came to pay their respects, fearing that they would not be able to see the prince tomorrow when he returned to Yongzhou.
The officials in the room were all very respectful to Duan Wu Jiu. Although everyone knew that as the first prince to become a vassal, King Yan might not have a chance to become a high-ranking prince, but they were all officials in the prince's fiefdom, and King Yan's mother The concubine is the popular Concubine Zheng, the biological brother and younger brother of King Yan, and also the prince whom the emperor attaches great importance to.
The fourth prince was entrusted with important tasks, and the eleventh prince was always taught by His Majesty the Emperor himself.
Therefore, as long as King Yan says a word, they will definitely be able to achieve success in the future.
However, it is rumored that King Yan's talents are very mediocre and he likes to get involved in secrets, so he is not very popular with the emperor. But even if King Yan's abilities are mediocre, with such appearance and peerless elegance, no one should say that he is mediocre.
Everyone waited carefully for the prince to speak.
Li Zhixian stood at the end. He had never been to the capital in his life and secretly looked at the King of Yan.
Unexpectedly, Duan Wujiu raised his eyes and looked at Li Zhixian, who was standing at the end, and was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.
Duan Wu Jiu first looked at Li Zhixian and asked, "Li Zhixian, I remember that Taohua Village is under your jurisdiction, right?"
"My lord, that's right."
"There is a Liu family of hunters in Taohua Village. This daughter of the Liu family saved my life and is my savior. I will ask Magistrate Li to take good care of her from now on."
"Yes, yes, I have good relations with the Liu family, and Liu Yigu is an old friend of mine. Prince, don't worry!"
Duan Wujiu nodded, seeming very satisfied.
The magistrate on the side saw that this little magistrate had gained the prince's favor, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. He bowed and said, "Weak minister Sun Linfu is the magistrate of Pingzhou. I came to see the prince this time because I want a treasure." Here you go, the prince will be happy to see you."
Duan Wujiu smiled and looked at Zhizhou, his expression suddenly sharp.
"Everyone in the capital knows that I am notorious for being extravagant and ostentatious. Is there any good thing in this world that I would be happy to see? Are you looking down on my knowledge, or have you investigated me before? , so you know everything about this king’s preferences?”
Zhizhou was so frightened that he almost knelt down. The King of Yan was indeed as unstable as the rumors said and extremely difficult to serve.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare! Your Majesty, forgive me! Wei Chen definitely doesn't dare to despise the Prince, let alone investigate the Prince's affairs privately. It's because Wei Chen's words and deeds are untrue."
Seeing that Zhizhou was so frightened that he was about to kneel down, Duan Wujiu waved his hand, "That's it, whatever it is, just bring it over."
Zhizhou immediately turned around and signaled to the person behind him. The person held a wooden tray and knelt down respectfully. He raised the treasure above his head and presented it to Duan Wu Jiu.
Duan Wu Jiu glanced at it and saw that it was a book wrapped in a piece of silk. He opened the silk and looked at it. It read: The sad map of Mount Laoshan, the layman in the snow-capped mountains.
Duan Wujiu's expression changed, he picked up the book and turned it over. The more he turned back, the more shocked he became.
"Zhizhou stays, and everyone else retreats."
All the officials looked at each other, except Zhizhou.
Duan Wu Jiu couldn't hide his excitement, "Sun Zhizhou, is this thing real? Is there anyone who can really understand the entire Bei Lao Mountain in such detail? Where did you get this book? Who is this Snow Mountain layman? Why has the king never heard of it?”
"Back to your lord, I just got this book last night. It's an only copy that the owner of Pingzhou Bookstore just got. I haven't had time to confirm whether it's authentic or not, but the content of this book is extremely detailed and meticulous, and the way I reviewed it is unprecedented. So I hurriedly sent it today, don’t be surprised if you forget the prince.”
"Ziyang."
"My subordinate is here."
Duan Wujiu handed the book to Ziyang and said sternly: "Send someone to confirm the contents of the book immediately, and report back as soon as you have the results."
"Yes!" Ziyang retreated.
Duan Wujiu looked at Zhizhou again, his expression had softened a lot, he stood up and helped Sun Zhizhou up affectionately.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sun Zhizhou. If the content of this book is true, then Zhizhou has done a lot of credit. Even if the report is sent to my father, your contribution will still be recorded."
Zhizhou happily kowtowed to Duan Wujiu and said excitedly, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
"Get up." Duan Wu Jiu raised his hand and said, "Go and find out who this snow mountain layman is first. If this person is really capable, he should be a national scholar and cannot be buried."
