The capital of Dachang City, which was returned to the country, was in the southern part of Tu's country. Since the establishment of this city in the Beixu Kingdom, it has experienced more than 350 years of storm. Dachang City was originally just a small city. After its establishment, it gradually grew and grew because of its important geographical location. It later became the capital of Tu's capital. Although the size of this city is not as large as that of Yong'an and Tianchang of the Great Shang Kingdom, it is far superior to the capital of Daxia. As one of the richest cities of Tu's country, the streets of Dachang City have always been crowded and bustling.

The royal palace in Dachang City has a very vulgar name, called Changshou Palace, covering an area of ​​more than 700 acres and is similar to the Forbidden City of Dashang. However, the scale is smaller than that of Dashang, and the architectural style is completely different. Although Changshou Palace is also a magnificent palace, it has a spire-topped stacked eaves, ranging from two or three floors to five or six floors. The palace uses green tiles as the roof, golden-red glazed tiles roof, and croaked eaves, which are very unique.

The Changshou Palace is extremely luxurious. Even the statues in front of several halls are made of pure gold. The palace is even more dazzling with gold and jade, and even the murals on the walls inside the palace are inlaid with gold and jade. However, the naked and rich style of the palace was once ridiculed by the envoys of the Shang Dynasty as a nouveau riche. The plants in the palace are mainly pine, cypress and palms. There are strange bonsai in front of the palace, and flowers that are undefeated all year round, which are very colorful.

The climate of Chuhui Country is hot, so there are many pavilions and corridors in the palace. In order to escape the summer heat, there are many artificial lakes and swimming pools in the palace, and even the walls are designed to facilitate ventilation. There are many sandalwood lounge chairs and large parasol covers in the swimming pool for the nobles in the palace to relax and enjoy the cool air. Although it was already autumn, the temperature of Chuhui Country is still not low. There are concubines and palace maids playing in the water from time to time by the swimming pool in Changshou Palace.

Yunxian Temple in Changshou Palace is the residence of King Tiebu and Queen Toluayi. Tiebu and Toluayi have a good relationship. Toluayi's family is poor. His father Tolud and his brother Toluo Wushu are both butchers. One focuses on killing pigs and the other focuses on killing sheep. Tolud died early, and Toluayi's elder brother Toluo Wushu was the head of the family. After Tiebu usurped the throne, he used his uncle Toluo Wushu as the general of the country to protect the country and led the military of the whole country. Ma Qingdong was the prime minister and the general returned to the country.

Ma Qingdong, the prime minister of the country, was originally a scholar in the Da Shang Jizhou Road. He took the exam seven times and failed. Ten years ago, he left Da Shang in anger and went to Dachang City, Chu to Dachang City to discuss life. After Ma Qingdong came to Dachang City with this big merchant, he did something about keeping accounts and managing accounts for the business. He became a silly man. Although the big merchant was not bad to Ma Qingdong, Ma Qingdong still complained in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Mr. Ma was unwilling to accept it. As the great businessman worked as a accountant for two or three years, he saved some money. When he saw that there were few scholars returning to China, Mr. Ma simply quit the accountant, rented three small houses in the suburbs of Dachang City, opened a school hall, and taught some children's studies. There were few scholars returning to China, and he was patient and knowledgeable, and gradually gained some reputation in Dachang City.

It happened to be back to the younger brother of the old king Tieku. The Nanwang Tieshu wanted to hire a teacher for his grandson Tietai to enlighten him. Some people recommended that there was a Mr. Ma Qingdong from the Da Shang Kingdom in the south suburbs of the city. He had excellent poetry and education and was still a scholar in the Da Shang Kingdom. Tieshu immediately came to the school hall and met Ma Qingdong to talk about political affairs. The two talked very much. Tieshu immediately revealed his identity and wanted to hire Ma Qingdong to be the teacher of his grandson Tietai.

Ma Qingdong dreams of climbing high branches every day, but this time he fulfilled his wish. How could he not be happy? When he arrived at the Southern Prince's Mansion, Ma Qingdong tried his best to teach the little prince Tietai the abilities he had learned in his life. During the teaching process of the royal palace, he met Tietai's father Tiebu, the King of Teng, who usurped the throne. The two chatted and met too late. Tiebu had ambitions, and Ma Qingdong also had ambitions and hit it off.

Tiebu has always been unwilling to be a prince and wait for death, so he tried his best to ask Ma Qingdong to teach him the skills of power and strategy. As he talked about the topic of usurping the throne. Tiebu asked sincerely, and Ma Qingdong also taught him sincerely. He told Tiebu almost all the usurping of the throne in the history of the Da Shang and Yan Han countries. Tiebu was really happy and only hated that his own father was not Tieku, otherwise he would not be as troublesome as he wanted to take over.

It happened that he had encountered a drought that was rare in a century. The people in the south suddenly rebelled, and thieves swarmed everywhere, and the sudden return to the south was in chaos. Ma Qingdong saw that this was a good opportunity, so he quickly rushed

He picked Tiebu and volunteered to the old king Tieku to go to the south to quell the rebellion for the country. Seeing that his nephew Tiebu had such a heart, Tiebu was overjoyed and appointed Tiebu as the imperial envoy and suppressed bandits. He gave Tiebu another 30,000 troops and ordered him to quell the rebellion. Tiebu used Ma Qingdong as his military advisor and led a 30,000 army south. It took a year before he suppressed the rebellion.

Tuhui is a very special country, with elephant soldiers, cavalry and camel soldiers, and of course the other half are infantry. Tuhui people generally speak softly, but they fight very fiercely and not gentle. Of course, those rebel mobs are not gentle. In fact, the reason why these mobs dare to rise up was completely caused by not having enough food. Once they have food, who will go crazy and rebel?

Tiebu used the strategy offered by Ma Qingdong to suppress and pacify and coerce, coerce and tempt, and surrendered the three major rebel leaders Wu Chengbiao, Sha Tuluo and Guan Zhiyi, and also surrendered tens of thousands of rebels under their command. These rebels were benefited by Tiebu and only regarded Tiebu as the main force. Tiebu was appointed as the commander of the imperial envoy, and the general manager of their original squads transformed from bandits to officials.

After the bandit crisis subsided, Tiebu used the excuse of rebelling and was not suitable to immediately fight. He returned to the south of the country for two or three months, but in fact he spent all day with these bandit leaders to cultivate feelings. Later, he left Ma Qingdong in the south to supervise these bandit leaders, and returned to Dachang City to hand over the orders to the old king Tieku. Tieku was happy and enfeoffed his nephew Tiebu, who had made contributions in suppressing the bandits, and built the Marquis of the Guardian in Dachang City.

Ma Qingdong stayed alone in Hedaye City, who was in the south of Tu's country with some of Tiebu's guards, secretly recruited troops and planned major events. Tiebu stayed in Dachang City, observing the movements of the palace, preparing to find an opportunity to replace Tieku and become the lord of Tu's rebellion. Before Tiebu returned to Beijing, Ma Qingdong told Tiebu that if you want to do something big, you must have money. Without silver, everything will not go well.

Tiebu is also worried. Silver is the fastest to spend and the slowest to earn. Although he is a marquis of protecting the country, he cannot go to other people's houses to grab silver, right? Although there are many white silver in the treasury that he returned to China, he is not his Tiebu. He is worried about money all day long. There is no way. If you want to do something big, you must have money. Someone else, otherwise you can only daydream.

On that day, Tiebu sat in the Marquis's mansion and was worried about silver. A servant next to him laughed and said, "Mr. Marquis, you must be worried about silver again, right? The little one drank wine in the brothel in the city last night. I accidentally heard someone tell me that there is a Dead Mountain in the northern desert. There is an underground palace in the Dead Mountain. It is the tomb of the Queen Lemu who was despised more than two hundred years ago. There are countless gold and silver treasures inside. Prince. That underground palace is a masterless thing. If we can get the silver in the underground palace, what else can we worry about?"

Tiebu was surprised and happy, and asked with a smile: "Tiezhen, do you take this seriously? I also heard that there was a queen named Lemu who caused the desolation of the country to destroy the country. I heard that she had made countless gold, silver and treasures into the underground palace. But I don't know whether the news is true or false. Since you mentioned it again, I guess this matter is not groundless! But then I heard that the Dead Mountain is underground in the desert, the desert is extremely vast and the environment is harsh. Where can we find the tomb?"

Tie Zhen laughed and said, "It is difficult to find the tomb, and it is not difficult. Yesterday, when I was drinking wine in the brothel, I heard someone in the room next to me yelling that his friend had a map in his hand, which recorded the location of the Dead Spirit Mountain in detail. As long as we find that person's friend and get the map of the Dead Spirit Mountain, isn't it easy to find the tomb?"

Tiebu stood up excitedly, but said regretfully: "Tiezhen, although you said that the man said that his friend had a map, but we didn't know him, how could he give us a copy of the map? Alas, there is no way, if you are powerless, we can only sigh!"

Tie Zhen laughed and said, "My Marquis, since I told you about this, I must have a look! To be honest, after the dinner last night, I followed that person and followed Yuansheng Inn. After finding out his name and residence, I remembered it. If you are interested in him, we might as well send someone to Yuansheng Inn to tie him up. As long as you catch him and tell the truth from his mouth, you will not worry about not being able to catch the person holding the map in your hand!"

Tiebuxi fell from the sky, so he hurried out to summon the guards of the Hou Mansion and gathered twenty people together. At night, he pretended to be a constable and raided Yuansheng Inn and secretly captured the man that Tiezhen said back to the Guguo Hou. That man came.

He was arrested by the marquis's mansion. He didn't know what crime he had committed. When he was afraid, Tiebu asked someone to beat him first and gave him a warning. When he was scared, the man was timid and took everything.

It turned out that the man's name was Zhu Yeji, who came from the Great Shang Kingdom. The friend he mentioned was Zhu Heichong, who was a thief leader. Zhu Yeji sold some antiques from a big merchant and returned to the country. He asked Zhu Heichong to help him take action and earn the difference from it.

The little horse thief leader Zhu Heichong made a living in the desert. A while ago, he robbed a large merchant from Dashang and got thousands of taels of ransom, and suddenly became rich. As soon as he became rich, it would be impossible not to show off. He insisted on taking Zhu Yeji to Dachang City to be free and elegant.

Zhu Heichong heard that there were many brothels in Dachang City and the girls were good, so he became interested and brought thousands of taels of silver to Dachang City with Zhu Yeji. He usually lives in Yuansheng Inn. The two of them live next door, and they go to the brothels to have fun when they have nothing to do. Although the brothels in Dachang City are not as good as the two big cities of Yong'an and Tianchang in Dashang, they are also the best when they return to China.

The little thief leader Zhu Heichong saw these girls who were fair-skinned, beautiful, charming, coquettish, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He seemed to have fallen into a honeypot. He usually ran rampant in the desert, and there were very few women. Even if he occasionally entered a city, he would not see any outstanding girls. Over time, he could not find a girl to solve his physiological problems. When he saw a sow, he felt that his eyes were beautiful.

When this guy arrived in Dachang City, he was almost dizzy and suffocated when he saw these girls with white teeth and red lips. What kind of desert is he going to go back to? This is simply a paradise! But this kind of "paragraph" is really a gold-selling cave. Within three months, thousands of taels of silver were put into the pockets of the brothels. Once the money was gone, which brothel was still looking at you? Zhu Heichong was tight and was ready to resume his old career.

But after all, this was the capital that was back to his country. Unlike in the desert, Zhu Heichong did whatever he wanted. Even if he wanted to grab it in Dachang City, he would not dare to go into broad daylight. He had to be more careful about the government's attack on him, so he could not be hard on his own. Fortunately, Zhu Heichong met a merchant from afar a few days ago in the brothel. Both of them came to the brothel to look for girls, and they became familiar with each other after a while.

Fan Datong was a native of the north. He had a hundred acres of fertile land at home and several large and small businesses. He lived a very good life. He came to Dachang City to do business and lingered in brothels for two months. In the brothel, he met a group of wine and meat brothers, including Zhu Heichong. Of course, Zhu Heichong did not dare to reveal his identity as a horse thief, but the banditry spirit he revealed made Fan Datong quite admire him, and Fan Datong felt that this man was a person who did big things.

One day, Fan Datong invited Zhu Heichong to drink, and he got drunk during the meal. Fan Datong said drunk: "Brother Zhu, I think you are also a hero. Brother, I have a treasure map, which is related to a very big secret. It is the underground palace of Queen Limu more than two hundred years ago. It is said that there are countless treasures in this underground palace, but this underground palace is a bit tricky. Brother can't handle these treasures alone. There are not many people in his own body, and he dare not take risks! He was afraid of being broken into this underground palace!"

Zhu Heichong was overjoyed when he heard this. What are you missing now? You are short of money! Isn’t this a fortune from heaven now? Zhu Heichong was very excited and held Fan Datong’s hand, “Brother Fan, tell me, where is this underground palace? To be honest, brother, I have some skills. I have a small fourth-grade martial arts realm and have also met some brothers in the Tao. They are all powerful people with high martial arts skills. It’s no problem to visit an underground palace, steal an ancient tomb or something!”

Fan Datong was excited, so he took out a sheepskin map from his bag and pointed it to Zhu Heichong. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, look, this is the drawing about the underground palace!"

Zhu Heichong saw the drawing and his eyes were so hot that he was so happy that he fell from the sky. He felt like someone was about to fall asleep when someone gave him a pillow. Zhu Heichong pretended to say, "Brother, this thing is important, you should put it away so that others can know! The wine is so beautiful and the wealth is moving. If any bad person knows this, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to you!"

Fan Datong patted Zhu Heichong on the shoulder and laughed: "I won't tell him ordinary people! That is, your brother Zhu is trustworthy, so brother told you, don't worry, I will never tell them to them!" Fan Datong didn't know that the brother he trusted was a horse thief leader, specializing in killing and robbing people, and now he wants to attack him?
