The box was long and thin, about a foot long, with a red ginseng coiled inside. As soon as the box was opened, a medicinal fragrance hit the face, which made people feel refreshed.
Murong Fu reached out and took out the ginseng, spread it out on the table, and said to Hu Yanlei: "I have always carried this thing with me. I got this thing by accident, but it is quite useless to me."
So I keep it with me just in case a friend needs it someday."
"Luckily today, this Laoshizi has its use. If Brother Huyan doesn't mind it, you can use it for makeshift use!"
Hu Yanlei's breathing became rapid. Although he was born in a military class and did not inherit his ancestral heritage, he had seen a lot of the world with his family elders when he was young. The red ginseng in front of him was obviously over 500 years old, and its medicinal properties were preserved.
It's in quite good condition, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's worth thousands of gold. If it were put on the market, it would definitely cause countless wealthy businessmen to rush to buy it, and it would be beyond the reach of a poor official like him.
Although he was excited, he still hesitated: "Brother Li, how can this be allowed? This is too precious!"
Unexpectedly, Murong Fu pushed the box into Hu Yanlei's arms and said, "If Brother Hu Yan doesn't want it, just throw it away. Is there any reason to take back what I, Li Yanzong, gave away?"
As he said this, Murong Fu showed a look of pride on his face.
Hu Yanlei was very excited. After a long time, he turned over and bowed down: "My wife's life is all thanks to Brother Li! As long as Brother Li doesn't despise Hu Yanlei's low ability, there will be a place where Hu Yanlei can be used in the future. Come from the fire,
Go into the water, it all depends on what you say, Brother Li!"
Murong Fu hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Brother Huyan, why did you say this? You and I have deep feelings, there is no need to say such unreasonable words!"
Even so, the corner of Murong Fu's mouth under the mask still unconsciously evoked a smile.
Hu Yanlei held the ginseng carefully, cherishing it as if he were holding a newborn baby, and kept mumbling to himself: "It's great, it's great!"
Murong Fu thought for a while, took out his purse, put it gently on the table and said: "Brother Huyan, this is my first visit, so I didn't have time to prepare anything. This little yellow and white thing should be used as a gift for my first visit.
!Don’t dislike it!”
Hu Yanlei originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about the huge favor he had just accepted from the other party, it would be a bit pretentious to refuse at this time, so he stopped talking and said with a fist in his fist: "I can't say thank you for your kindness!"
Then he brought the parchment scroll on the table to Murong Fu and said: "For this thing, Hu Yanlei traveled far away into the desert. Brother Li, although you and I have known each other for a short time, I know that you are not an ordinary person. Brother Li has superb magical skills. I want to use it."
I can’t find this thing. But if I have the opportunity in the future, I can take this thing out and drink it when I am a hundred years old. It will increase my life by one century. Today, I will give this thing to Brother Li!"
Murong Fu did not show any pretense, he smiled happily and said: "In that case, thank you very much, Brother Huyan!"
Murong Fu and Hu Yanlei exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and then returned to their residence with the reference pictures presented by Hu Yanlei.
Su Xinghe was not here, and only the future founder of the Tomb Sect stayed in the yard to play with the ants. God knows that the future character who created the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, a method of severing love and desire, actually had such a childlike side when he was a child.
Murong Fu asked: "Xiaoying, where is your master?"
Little Douding raised his head, with a few gray marks on his fair face. He shook his head and said, "Master went out early in the morning and said he was going to pick up a few people."
Murong Fu nodded, didn't ask any more questions, went straight into the room, closed the door, spread out the reference pictures, and studied them carefully.
Compared with the extremely precise maps drawn by later generations using scientific and technological means, this map can only be described as rough. The map only roughly depicts the directions of a few mountains and a few rivers. In reality, this is
It may be within a range of tens of miles. Although it is not like finding a needle in a haystack, it is not easy to find it accurately.
And since this ginseng could have existed for more than 800 years before the reference map was drawn, it must have grown in a dangerous place that is difficult for apes to reach. Even if ordinary martial arts masters discovered it by accident, they could only stay away due to insufficient attainments in Qinggong.
.
However, these were not difficult tasks for Murong Fu. The key was how to find the things without making a big fuss.
Is it possible that I have to go to Liaodong and spend a year and a half searching among the white mountains and black waters?
For me, this thing can only add a few years of skill at most. However, as Tong Lao and Li Qiushui are old, they may need it one day. Don't look at Tong Lao boiling wild ginseng in water and rinsing it all day long.
The mouth is actually just a few decades old goods. This kind of treasure that is thousands of years old is hard to come by, so don’t even think about it.
After thinking for a long time, Murong Fu shook his head, put away his things, got up and rushed to Helian Tieshu's house.
Inside the Helian Tieshu Villa.
Helian Tieshu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean, sir, to ask me to come forward to win over Mr. Zhang, the salt and iron envoy?"
Murong Fu nodded and said, "Yes, it's better for me to come forward than you for this kind of thing."
Helian Tieshu looked troubled: "But my lord doesn't know something. This lord has always been upright. The secret business of the brothers in the army was hidden from him before. The subordinates also tried it before, and they were almost severely involved by Lord Zhang."
I bought a book, and I still have lingering fears when I think about it. This..."
Murong Fu said: "This moment, that moment. When he was able to rely on his status as a Han family to become a loyal minister to the emperor, he was sure that under the original structure of the court, no one would really do anything to him. But after
Regarding Nori Jinkei, do you think he can still be at ease?"
Murong Fu paused and said: "What's more, how can someone who can serve as an official for generations be clean?"
Helian Tieshu wanted to say more, but Murong Fu interrupted directly: "Marshal Helian, you don't really think that you can get away with it just by quietly doing salt and iron smuggling, do you?"
Helian Tieshu gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, I understand. Everything just depends on your orders."
Murong Fu slowly explained: "When the Dowager was in charge, although the original major tribes of Daxia were united, they were not entrusted with important responsibilities. Instead, the Han, Xianbei, and Huns were mostly used. That's what I'm talking about.
It’s a check and balance.”
"Now that Li Yuansheng has been elected as the representative of the Dangxiang tribe, it turns out that those who were promoted by the concubine are naturally in danger. What we need to do is to integrate these people together. Do you understand? Marshal Helian?"
At last, Helian Tieshu was not too stupid. After hearing this, he suddenly understood and bowed deeply and said: "I understand, sir. Please rest assured, this matter will just fall on me."
