The drizzle in late autumn fell into the quiet courtyard, bringing a bit of chill.
"Tap-ta-"
Tan Luzi protected a secret letter with his sleeves. He walked quickly through the rain with a dignified expression, entered the small courtyard, stood at the door of the inner palace, cupped his hands and said, "I see you, Lord!"
"come in."
After a slight silence, Yu Huatian's indifferent voice sounded in the room.
Tan Luzi immediately opened the door and walked in. At this time, Yu Huatian had just woken up from meditation. Looking at Tan Luzi with a solemn expression, he stood up unhurriedly, came to sit on a chair in the hall, and said calmly: "Tell me, What did you find?"
Tan Luzi knew that the governor had a mysophobia and did not dare to offend him. He first walked to the side and washed his hands and dried them carefully. Then he took out the information from his sleeve and presented it respectfully. At the same time, he reported:
"Reporting to the Governor, the spies sent out have learned about the recent changes in the world. Martial arts people from other countries entered our Ming Dynasty for a treasure!"
"Treasure?"
Yu Huatian's eyes moved slightly, he opened the scroll in his hand and asked, "What treasure?"
Tan Luzi replied: "It is said that in the northwest desert, a treasure is about to be born. There are rumors in the world that this treasure is as rich as the enemy. Whoever gets this treasure will be equivalent to having the capital to compete in the world!"
Hearing this, Yuhuatian couldn't help but sneer.
Since ancient times, no country has been built with the help of an unfounded treasure.
Often such rumors are the most ridiculous!
"Have you found out what kind of treasure it is?"
Yu Huatian continued to ask, but soon his eyes narrowed, looking at the information in his hand, and said word by word: "Dabai Shangguo?"
Tan Luzi nodded: "Yes, although there are many rumors in the world, according to the spies' reports, the most reliable one is that this treasure from the desert is most likely a treasure left after the fall of the Great White Kingdom three hundred years ago. .”
Yuhuatian said nothing, but his thoughts had already drifted away.
The Northwest Desert is located outside the "Longmen Pass" at the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty. It does not belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.
But three hundred years ago, this place was the capital of a small country called "Dabai Shangguo", named "Blackwater City".
Later, Dabai Shangguo was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, but before the destruction of Heishui City, some remaining soldiers sealed the old people and children in Heishui City, and collectively died for the country. Then Heishui City was submerged by wind and sand overnight, and Dabai Shangguo was The palace treasure house was also buried underground with the wind and sand.
Since then, there has been a legend in the world that a black sandstorm in the desert will occur every sixty years, that is, once every sixty years. At that time, the black sandstorm will blow the desert apart, and the palace treasures buried underground will appear. , whoever gets these treasures will be as rich as the enemy.
This plot also appeared in the original drama of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".
In the original work, Yu Huatian was also killed by Zhao Huaian and his party in the palace of Heishui City, and was buried underground with the wind and sand.
But now the fateful enemy of the original owner, Zhao Huaian, has long been killed by Yuhuatian. I thought that this plot would not happen, but unexpectedly, what was supposed to come came.
Moreover, the matter spread throughout the world, even attracting martial arts people from other countries.
Their purpose is to obtain the treasure of Dabai Shangguo!
Looking at Yu Huatian's gloomy expression, Tan Luzi hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Master Governor, this matter may be just a cover put out by someone, and it cannot be taken seriously. Should we investigate more carefully?"
"I know what's going on, there's no need to investigate."
Yuhuatian waved his hand.
Although I don’t know who spread this news to everyone, it is indeed true that the treasure of Dabai Shangguo has been released.
To be honest, Yu Huatian didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Now that word of the treasure has spread, it will definitely attract many people with ulterior motives, and there may even be some powerful people at the level of Grandmaster or even Grandmaster among them.
With his current strength, it would be too risky to intervene in this matter.
But it was not up to him to make the decision.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Huatian stood up and said, "I will go to the palace to report this matter. I will let His Majesty decide what to do."
He had no intention of hiding this matter. Since the matter was so big, the emperor would know about it sooner or later.
Deceiving the emperor now will only cause trouble for yourself.
"yes."
Tan Luzi quickly saluted and sent him off.
But as soon as Yu Huatian went out, a young eunuch suddenly ran in from outside and saluted: "Eunuch Yu, the noble concubine has invited me."
This young eunuch is from the palace of Concubine Wan Gui.
The corner of Yu Huatian's mouth twitched, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Get out!"
"this……"
The little eunuch was startled and froze on the spot, not knowing how to reply.
Yu Huatian walked out with a cold face. He was annoyed at the moment. This naughty hooves was endless, and now it came to trouble him.
But just as he reached the door, Yu Huatian still forced himself to calm down, stopped, and said coldly: "Reporting to the imperial concubine, after I have met His Majesty, I will go to Cining Palace to see you."
After that, he left without looking back.
The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and replied: "I obey, my slave."
…
It is not yet Chen hour, and the morning dynasty has not yet ended.
After Yu Huatian entered the palace, he first waited in front of the Qianqing Palace for a while, and did not see Emperor Tianqi coming until the bell rang for the next court.
Cao Zhengchun had just succeeded as the governor of Dongchang and was busy with government affairs. At this moment, following the emperor was a young eunuch from the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Seeing Yu Huatian waiting at the door, Zhu Youxiao didn't show any expression, waved his hand and said: "Come in."
Yuhuatian waited for Zhu Youxiao to enter the hall, and then followed him in.
Zhu Youxiao walked straight to the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace and sat down. Then he looked at Yuhuatian in the center of the hall and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Yuhuatian did not hesitate and replied with his hands raised: "Your Majesty, the matter you asked me to investigate has been cleared up."
Then, Yuhuatian told Zhu Youxiao everything about Dabai Shangguo's treasures, word for word.
After Zhu Youxiao heard this, he immediately showed excitement: "The treasures of Dabai Shangguo still exist in the world and have not been taken away by the Yuan Dynasty? Are you sure this is true?"
Yu Huatian said in a deep voice: "There are many people who know about this matter, and they can find out with just a little inquiry. I think it is very possible, otherwise we would not attract all the martial arts people from other countries."
"Hahaha! Great! God bless me!"
Zhu Youxiao laughed immediately, very excited, his eyes full of coveting and desire for the great national treasure.
No wonder he was so excited.
It is true that Ming Dynasty has been too poor in recent years!
Although the Ming Dynasty is one of the six great dynasties in China, it is not without its opponents. The Yuan Dynasty in the north, the Qing Dynasty in the east, and the Song Dynasty in the west have always been eyeing the Ming Dynasty.
In particular, the Yuan Dynasty has been trying to take a piece of flesh from the Ming Dynasty in recent years.
It’s not that the Ming Dynasty didn’t want to fight. In order to resist the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Chengzu directly moved the capital to Beiping and established Shuntian Mansion, which meant “the emperor guards the country” and showed the Ming Dynasty’s determination to dare to fight.
But it is a pity that the economic strength cannot keep up. Even if Ming wants to fight, there is nothing he can do.
War is not only a competition of combat power, but also a waste of money!
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has been bullied by the foreign tribes in the north over the years. The foreign tribes in the north saw that the Ming Dynasty was short of money and often sent people into the country to rob the people of the Ming Dynasty. Each time, countless people were killed, but when the Ming Dynasty was about to fight back, they ran away again. .
Over the past hundreds of years, countless innocent people have died at the hands of the northern aliens. All the people of the Ming Dynasty hated the northern aliens with hatred.
If it weren't for the lack of national strength, Ming Dynasty would have sent troops northward to eradicate those damn bandits.
Therefore, the pursuit of economy by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty was simply incomprehensible to others.
Everyone wants to be a good emperor who dares to fight hard and is famous for future generations, but the financial strength does not allow it!
But now that the Dabai Shang National Treasure has been released and is so close to the Ming Dynasty, how can Zhu Youjian not be excited? !
Zhu Youxiao immediately looked at Yuhuatian and asked: "Have the courts of other countries intervened? Or is it just the people in the world?"
Yuhuatian thought for a while and replied: "I have not heard of any other country's court taking action. It should be only people from the Jianghu community who heard the news and came here, but it cannot be ruled out that other countries' court secretly sent people."
Zhu Youxiao's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes were full of energy.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "Since other dynasties did not intervene directly, it is difficult for me, the Ming Dynasty, to send troops to take action. This matter must still be left to you."
Yuhuatian sighed in his heart, he knew this was the case.
The East and West Second Factory was originally established to deal with Jianghu forces.
But it is hard to disobey the king's order, and Yuhuatian is not qualified to refuse, so he can only hold his hand and say: "I obey the order."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said: "Cao Zhengchun has just taken charge of the East Factory. The situation in the East Factory has not been stable yet, so it is not appropriate to take action. Moreover, I am out of the palace for a tour, and the palace cannot be left unattended. I will leave this matter to you in the West Factory." Just do it, I will let Hulong Villa help you."
"If the courts of other dynasties dare to take action directly, I will also send a large army out to help you. No matter what, we must bring back the treasures of Dabai Shangguo!"
Yuhuatian's heart was heavy and he cupped his hands and replied: "I accept the order."
