The entire village ancestral hall was quiet except for the voices of Mr. Tang and Mrs. Mo, who were very quiet. As the audience, Li Mi, Aling behind the wall, and Song Qiu, who was repeating Aling's words in a low voice, were shocked.
Song Qiu lamented that this was the reason for the twenty-five golden armored guards and the bronze bird treasure.
Alingze's eyes turned red, finally understanding the truth why Master died.
Li Mi's heart was also in turmoil.
By chance, he learned that the former richest man in the world, Uncle An Guo, had left a treasure. Out of his curiosity, and because several other forces were trying to kill the treasure, they all wanted to get it. For the sake of the Holy Emperor, he naturally spared no effort.
.
He only thought that Uncle An Guo was extremely rich and could spend endless amounts of gold, silver and jewels, so he hid it, but he did not expect that there was such an amazing inside story behind it.
The demon concubine in the previous dynasty brought disaster to the country, so Uncle An Guo's move can be regarded as a far-sighted and strategizing move.
It's a pity that Prince Hui of the previous dynasty was not able to use this treasure. Unexpectedly, Uncle An Guo made preparations and gave the instructions to the Jinjiawei.
He originally thought that even if he found the whereabouts of the descendants of the Jinjiawei, it would take a lot of effort.
After all, the treasure was guarded by others and originally belonged to Uncle An Guo. Although he wanted and had to, he couldn't commit murder to seize the treasure.
If the other party refuses to give or refuses to admit the treasure, he will have to spend a lot of effort to find a way.
Who would have thought that they have been waiting for me for a long time, and hearing this, are they willing to take the initiative to offer the treasure with both hands?
Li Mi couldn't help but be amazed in his heart. Uncle An Guo was worthy of admiration, but the golden armored guard who had guarded the bronze bird for generations was even more worthy of admiration.
It is not possible for ordinary people to maintain such a huge wealth and still uphold their true intentions and always bear in mind their responsibilities.
He couldn't help but admire Mr. Tang's great-grandfather even more.
Li Mi felt that he should say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
All he could say was, "Are you two willing to tell me about the treasure?"
Mr. Tang said: "As I said before, our ancestors were optimistic about the Li family at that time. Now the Holy Emperor has been generous and benevolent, kind and modest, smart and studious since he was a child. Since he came to the throne, he has been diligent in serving the people and caring for the people. He is such an emperor and wise king."
, worthy of support.
If King Hou succeeds and the Changle Kingdom breaks through the Lingnan Pass, it will be the common people who suffer. Throughout his life, Uncle An Guo hopes that the world will be peaceful, the court will be clear, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. I believe that Uncle An Guo's spirit in heaven will be happy to hand over the treasure to the crown prince.
"
Li Mi was shocked when he heard this, and felt that Mr. Tang really understood justice.
Although Uncle An Guo had left such a will in front of him, if the Jinjia Guard had a second thought and did not obey his orders, could Uncle An Guo still be able to jump out of the ground?
Therefore, although this treasure belongs to Uncle An Guo, Uncle An Guo wants to thank him, and this golden armored guard also wants to thank him even more.
Li Mi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't help but ask one more question, "How can I trust this junior if I don't trust King Hou?"
It’s not like the Holy One is here in person, how does this old man know that he will not take the treasure for himself, but also wants to rebel against the Holy One and want to sit on that throne?
Mr. Tang chuckled lightly, "King Changshan was personally taught by the late emperor. I heard that the late emperor always wanted to make King Changshan his crown prince. Because the court officials did not agree, he made all his sons kings and fiefdoms. Later, Changshan was still the king.
The mountain king himself was not willing, and the late emperor could not force him, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope. It was not until he was seriously ill that he appointed the seventeenth prince as the crown prince to inherit the throne."
"If King Changshan is like this, I will naturally trust him. The Crown Prince is the son of King Changshan, so he is worthy of my trust."
After Li Mi listened, he was speechless for a long time.
After a moment, he stood up and bowed deeply to Mr. Tang and Mrs. Mo, "The old man and the old lady have great righteousness. I will live up to their trust and live up to Uncle An Guo's ambition!"
Mr. Tang and Mrs. Mo accepted the gift calmly.
What they didn't say was that King Hou was pressing forward step by step, and he happened to catch up with the little girl Aling after smelling her scent. If something was discovered, it would be bad.
This treasure and them are a hot potato, the bane of destroying the village.
Rather than having it taken away, it is better to hand it over voluntarily.
They could no longer protect him, so they took the initiative to hand him over, fulfilling Uncle An Guo's last wish. The Jinjiawei retired after their success, and they could let go of this burden and no longer have to worry future generations.
Although there is Uncle An Guo's last wish, it still depends on who will give the treasure to them.
It seems that it is better to leave it to Prince Changshan.
Giving it to Prince Changshan means giving it to the Emperor.
Having their names registered with the emperor will also be beneficial to their village.
The Golden Armored Guards had guarded the treasure for so long, and the treasure was dedicated to the Holy One. They asked for nothing but peace and joy.
If we talk about taking care of him, Li Yang from their village is now working beside the Crown Prince of Changshan. With such a fate, the Crown Prince would have to promote Li Yang no matter what.
And Li Yang is from Songshan Village. When he recovers, he will protect the people in the village.
Naturally, the little Jiujiu in the two old people's hearts would not say it out loud. They looked at each other and Mr. Tang said: "In addition to the five bronze birds that Uncle An Guo gave to Jin Jiawei back then, there was also a treasure map. The treasure map was given to my ancestors to keep.
, my family has always kept it.
One of the five bronze birds was accidentally lost when fleeing, and now we only have four here."
When Li Mi heard this, he didn't hide it and said immediately: "That one is in my hand now."
Mr. Tang smiled and said, "I know." He didn't hide anything, and told Li Yang everything about the accident.
Li Mi was stunned when he heard this. It turned out to be like this.
Isn't it Li Yang who secretly went to Songshan on the orders of the Fifth Master to retrieve the bronze bird that the sent man hid in Songshan before he died?
Just because he is from Songshan, he won't attract anyone's attention when he comes back to look for him.
This is really destiny.
So from then on, these two people knew that he was looking for the copper bird treasure, right?
I just kept waiting for him to come to the door, so I didn't say much to Li Yang.
Mr. Tang then said: "Without further delay, it will be a long night and many dreams. We don't want to attract attention. Now you can take the treasure map away."
With that said, Mr. Tang stood up and walked towards the desk.
Pressing another mechanism, the five-layer memorial tablets inside the wall suddenly moved outward, and did not stop until they reached the table.
Mr. Tang raised his hand and picked up the tablets one by one. The base of each tablet was hollow, with a small piece of parchment embedded in each tablet.
Twenty-five small pieces of parchment were taken out, and finally a complete treasure map was synthesized.
Mr. Tang handed the treasure map to Li Mi without any hesitation.
Li Mi took it carefully, took a look at it, and put it away solemnly.
"The remaining four bronze birds are buried on Songshan Mountain. Li Yang knows the location. After the prince returns, he can send him to lead people to dig them out. Today, the prince just came to the village for a walk on a whim. After leaving the village,
You don’t have to come here again." Mr. Tang waved his hand, indicating that Li Mi could leave now.
