When Cheng Sanwu and his party returned to the Su family's ancestral home, Su Wangting had already settled the family affairs properly and set off for Weinan County to prepare for the treasure fighting meeting.
Wang Yuanbao bought a large manor on the outskirts of Weinan City as a venue for holding treasure fighting meetings, and also arranged sufficient manpower. Su Wangting was not short of manpower and material resources. There were still nearly two months until the treasure fighting meeting, and he had plenty of time. Naturally,
I try my best to take care of everything properly.
The local Weinan County government knew that such a grand event was of great importance. Not only would King Qi come forward, but the winner would also go to the palace to meet the saint. Therefore, they did not dare to hinder Su Wangting's various arrangements and would do their best to satisfy any requests.
.
Su Wangting was not the kind of person who would act arbitrarily when he gained power. In the following days, he traveled between Chang'an and Weinan. Through Wang Yuanbao's relationship, he invited several members of the Ministry of Industry who were good at construction to hold a treasure fighting party.
The Linlang Court was slightly repaired and renovated.
In addition, Su Wangting also spent a lot of money to hire famous musicians and chefs to prepare banquets. The caravans and caravans that arrived in Weinan one after another also arranged their accommodation. Almost every detail was taken care of, and everything was taken care of.
As for Cheng Sanwu, he is responsible for leading a group of guards to conduct daily inspections.
Because the wealth and treasures from Guandong are now gathering in the Weinan area in large numbers, even if not all of them are going to be used in the treasure fighting meeting, their huge number is enough to attract the greedy eyes of the green forest heroes.
Changqing knew this situation, so he did not sit alone, but helped share the worries. He set up open and hidden sentries around Linlangyuan, and arranged for guards to be on guard duty in rotation to prevent any unexpected situations. He also borrowed several sets of fire-fighting equipment from the Weinan County Government.
Splash water bladders and large water storage tanks are set up everywhere. Even if a thief sets fire to the house, there will be no way to deal with it.
When Afu looked at the layout around Linlangyuan that looked like a military camp, and even the entry and exit of personnel had to be inspected and verified, she had to re-evaluate the little kid Changqing.
"Sister Fu?" A call broke Afu's thoughts at this time. She turned around and saw Jiang Zhen stepping out of the carriage. The Tianxiang Pavilion oiran was wearing a light green double-breasted jacket and a bright red embroidered hundred-fold breast-length skirt.
Wearing a beige large-sleeved shirt outside, she looks like a lady.
"Why are you here?" Although Afu is not like some of the ten-year-olds in Gongchenwei who are used to ordering their subordinates in harsh ways, she still has her own methods to control her subordinates. She did not take the initiative to summon Jiang Zhen, so Jiang Zhen should not leave Chang'an.
Come find yourself.
"It was Su Wangting who invited me here." Jiang Zhen handed over a greeting note: "He learned from Cheng Sanwu that I am good at cooking, but the banquet of the Dou Bao Club lacked delicacies worthy of the important task, so he spent a lot of money to bring me to the banquet.
Please come."
"A lot of money?" Afu's smile contained a deep meaning. Jiangzhen was also trained by her. Many of her habits were similar to hers, and her vision was quite high. It was definitely not something ordinary gold and silver could attract.
Jiang Zhen was seen tugging on her left sleeve, and on her pink wrist, she was wearing an oily jade bracelet, which matched her smooth skin, and showed that the jade material was excellent.
"This is a gift from Su Wangting." Jiang Zhen couldn't help but play with it: "He said that this bracelet once belonged to a favorite concubine of the King of Khotan. It is said that wearing it for many years has the effect of preserving your appearance. I didn't believe it at first, but the beautiful jade
It's rare, so I agreed by the way. And because of the young master's affairs, the Du family came all day long to inquire about news. I was really annoyed, so I just came out to get some air and let them get shut down."
Afu was too lazy to ask about Jingzhao Du's affairs. She held Jiangzhen's wrist and looked at it carefully for a while, then sneered: "This Su Wangting, how many treasures has he collected in the Western Regions? He might as well come to participate in the treasure fighting meeting."
"Is this bracelet really useful?" Jiang Zhen was a little surprised.
"It has some magical effects on beauty." Afu said in a neither salty nor cool tone: "But the Princess of Khotan is pampered and does not have to work hard, so she will naturally age slowly. You practice the "Baoyu Huaizhu Gong", which can replenish yang energy.
If you use it yourself, you can still live in Changchun. It's a pity that you don't work hard, and you haven't made much progress in the past few years of sitting in Tianxiang Pavilion."
Jiangzhen put her arm on Afu's arm, like a close sister. She frowned slightly and said: "Sister Fu, it's not like you don't know that the people who come to Tianxiang Pavilion are all dignitaries. Although there is no shortage of money, they all have basic foundations.
He is short and shallow, and his energy is mixed, so it is very troublesome to collect and replenish it. But for a strong man like Cheng Sanwu..."
"What? Are you attracted to him?" Afu asked.
"If Sister Fu has had enough fun, why not give it to your sister?" Jiang Zhen showed a greedy cat look: "I wanted to have a taste of his body when I saw him last time."
How could Afu be jealous of a junior: "It's not like you don't know Cheng Sanwu's situation. You treat him as a plaything. Be careful to make him angry."
At this time, Cheng Sanwu happened to be passing by not far away, followed by several villagers with brown arrow sleeves and carrying sticks, knives and forks, who came to inspect the two carriages competing for the road and came forward to resolve the dispute.
"Is he doing this kind of thing now?" Jiang Zhen asked curiously: "With his martial arts skills, it would be too humiliating to look after people's homes and nursing homes. Not to mention anything else, just going to the Imperial Capital Arena can earn him a good reputation.
, why bother?”
"He chose to surrender." Afu seemed to be sighing slightly, not knowing how to deal with Cheng Sanwu.
At this time, Qin Wangshu came quietly from somewhere else, cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "Envoy Fu, the hanging eaves people have been arranged everywhere."
Afu nodded to show her understanding. Jiangzhen saw this and asked: "It seems that this treasure fight is not peaceful. Is Sister Fu planning to guard against thieves for them?"
"The snitches and robbers are not under my control. Things were stolen because of their incompetence. I can't blame them." Afu said as always, "It's just that Prince Qi will come in person in a few days. Of course, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will take careful care of it."
Since His Majesty, the current emperor, has shown talents and talents that far exceed those of his brothers since childhood, and has made great achievements in previous palace changes, it is logical that even though His Majesty is not the eldest son, he was appointed as the crown prince by the previous emperor. It is rare that several brothers did not compete.
Because of their position, they get along very closely.
These princes were very sensible and would never interfere in military and political affairs. Instead, they focused on sensuality. Almost everyone inside and outside Chang'an had heard of the playful deeds of these princes, and many literati and performers gathered around them.
If His Majesty wants to have fun on weekdays, these brothers and princes will also show their talents.
Just by looking at the Weinan Treasure Fighting Club, we can understand that it was completely set up by King Qi to please His Majesty the Emperor.
While a few people were talking in low voices, a crowd of people suddenly screamed in the distance. Afu and the other three looked up and saw Cheng Sanwu using his strength to lift a large truck loaded with goods and move it.
Go to the corner of the wall and make room for the carriage on the opposite side to pass.
"Silly strength." Afu didn't hide her disdain, thinking about how to get Cheng Sanwu to obey her.
…
"...Thieves can't stand it, tigers and wolves can't hurt them, and there are so many evils that no one dares to hurt..."
Changqing held Cheng Sanwu's Hundred Refined Divine Sword in his hand and walked around a warehouse with no windows and white walls and chanted a mantra. The knife in his hand struck the ground a few times from time to time.
When he finally walked around the main entrance, Changqing raised his hands to make secrets and stamped his feet on the ground. The command flags inserted on the ground at the four corners of the warehouse automatically made a splashing sound without any wind, and a barrier rose up and enveloped the entire warehouse.
The barrier is invisible to the naked eye, but both Cheng Sanwu and Su Wangting can feel a mysterious force covering the warehouse. If they break through rashly, there will be no good results.
Changqing slowly exhaled a breath and said: "The Liuwu sealing method has been deployed, which can last for several months. I have left a portal. Only those who wear the gate talisman can enter and exit the enchantment without being exposed to thunder.
Kill the injured."
Su Wangting asked: "How powerful is this thunder?"
"Cheng Sanwu, go try it." Chang Qing said.
"Wait, why me?" Cheng Sanwu pointed at himself, looking confused.
"You'll know after you try it." Changqing raised her chin: "Is it possible that you're afraid?"
Inspired by this, Cheng Sanwu hummed and said: "Just try it... Wow ah ah ah -"
Cheng Sanwu initially looked unconcerned and stepped straight towards the warehouse door, but as soon as his toes touched the line below the eaves, thunder and lightning suddenly occurred for no reason. Cheng Sanwu's whole body twitched and shook involuntarily, and his screams became weird and sharp.
Then he was knocked out of the barrier and fell to the ground, still shaking, with green smoke rising from the tips of his hair.
"That's probably it." Chang Qing said.
"This...Old Cheng, are you okay?" Su Wangting knew that Changqing would not harm Cheng Sanwu, so he probably just played a trick on him.
"Okay, you, a fake... Taoist..." Cheng Sanwu stood up with difficulty, holding on to his wobbly legs, unable to speak clearly.
"Anyway, you won't understand when I explain it. It's better to experience it for yourself." Changqing handed the Hundred Refining Divine Sword back to the other party: "The Liuwu Sealing Technique originally only had the effect of protecting a certain place. I added Lei Slayer to it.
The strength cannot kill anyone, but it can immobilize the incoming robber. You are stronger than an ox, and if you were a little weaker, you would probably still be lying on the ground at this moment."
Su Wangting nodded and said: "This is very good. The thief will be shocked by the barrier, and it will be easier for us to catch him. If he has any accomplices, let the Weinan County Government find them out."
Chang Qing also said: "Brother Fu, you can rest assured that this barrier is not only protecting the top of the roof, but also underground. Even thieves who are good at digging secret passages will still be blocked by the barrier."
Su Wangting looked at the warehouse, where a large amount of treasures and property had been stored, with a rough estimate of the value of nearly one million yuan. Even though the warehouse itself was extremely solid, he personally checked and reconciled the accounts every day, and there were many guards around it, he still couldn't
I felt so relieved, especially because I was afraid of domestic thieves, so I asked Changqing to set up a barrier.
"This is the gate talisman." Changqing took out three bamboo cards about two fingers long and wide, and drew talismans on both sides with cinnabar: "Not only can you wear this talisman to enter and exit the enchantment gate, but if any thieves touch the enchantment, they will also
The noise is enough to wake people up from their sleep."
Changqing handed two of them to Su Wangting and Cheng Sanwu, and then the three of them carefully kept them away, which showed that they trusted each other.
"Anyway, I sleep next door." Cheng Sanwu raised his hand and pointed at the back wall behind him: "If there is any movement, just climb over the wall and take a look. No matter where the thief is, just take it down!"
Chang Qing said: "Nowadays, merchants from Guandong gather in the Weinan area. The property in this warehouse is only in Wang Yuanbao's name. Several other companies also have inns and warehouses in the local area. Thieves may not take a fancy to this place."
"Don't mention it." Cheng Sanwu was a little irritated: "There have been many people from the Jianghu community in Weinan City these days. They all have swords and swords, and they are in groups. They look very difficult to mess with. The manpower sent by Wang Yuanbao is very good.
At most, I just want to protect the area around Linlang Garden. If there is trouble somewhere else, I won’t be able to care too much."
"Linlang Garden is not in the city. Even if there is a courtyard wall, it is still unstable." Su Wangting looked at the two people: "Everyone should be more vigilant during these days. Lao Cheng, if you encounter a flying thief, don't chase him if you can't catch him.
."
"I know, just in case the tiger leaves the mountain!" Seeing Su Wangting nodding silently, Cheng Sanwu turned to look at Changqing: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, why did you use my knife to set up the barrier?"
"The Hundred-Refined Divine Sword forged by Shang Daozhang is not only made of fine iron, but also mixed with nine-turn cinnabar. It has the power to restrain demons and ghosts." Chang Qing explained: "I use the Hundred-Refined Divine Sword to cast spells.
The world can naturally be used for its wonderful functions. Even if a magician manipulates spirits and ghosts in order to transport them, they will be blocked by the barrier."
"Like the peach wood sword used by Taoist priests to exorcise ghosts?" Cheng Sanwu asked.
Changqing had given up arguing in front of him: "If you say yes, then so be it."
…
"Master, there's good news or bad news, which one should you hear first?"
In a certain wine shop in Weinan County, a lean man came to the second floor. The guests here were all green forest heroes. Several of them had scars on their faces and fierce expressions. There were also weapons on the table and at their feet, as if they were ready at any time.
Hands-on look.
Near the window on the second floor, a strong man with a golden face and sparse eyebrows poured himself a drink. His eyes glanced out the window from time to time, paying attention to the people passing by on the road.
"Skinny monkey, if you have something to say, just say it, don't lie." The guests at the other table scolded, and everyone laughed. It was obvious that the guests in the restaurant were all in the same group.
"The good news is that I heard that there is treasure worth seven or eight hundred thousand guan hidden in Linlang Garden." As soon as Shouhou said this, the green forest heroes present changed their colors. Some people could no longer hold back and stretched out their hands to touch their weapons.
, as long as the big boss gives the order, Linlangyuan will probably be killed.
"What's the bad news?" When the boss heard about such wealth, he still remained calm.
"It is impossible to open the joints from the inside." Thin Monkey said with a grimace: "Wang Yuanbao invited three powerful figures from the Western Regions to organize a treasure fighting party. Once the property and treasures were delivered to Linlang Garden, they were all put into the treasury.
Keep others close."
Someone shouted: "There are only three people in Yunting Village. We can swarm them and chop them into pieces immediately!"
"One of them is said to be a Taoist priest who is proficient in magic." Thin Monkey's words made everyone silence immediately. He squinted and said: "The other one lifted a thousand kilograms of loading cart in public without even breaking a sweat. Which of you is stronger?
Go and meet him?"
"Where is the remaining one?" the headmaster asked calmly.
"My name is Su Wangting. Wang Yuanbao invited him to host the treasure fighting party. He is so fat and fat. Everyone in Linlangyuan listens to his orders. Even the Weinan County government wants to give him face." Shouhou has obviously found out.
"There is no way to attack by force." The big boss immediately denied: "The treasure fighting meeting is coming soon. If we really wait for those princes and rich men to arrive, the city will be full of officers and soldiers, and we won't be able to make a move."
Shouhou quickly added: "You can't steal. You have to go through several passes to enter Linlang Garden. The number of guards is more than the governor's house we went to last time."
"Is it possible that the property was robbed during transit?" Someone questioned: "This is Guanzhong, and it is difficult to escape if something is robbed!"
"Unless... let the other party hand over the things on their own initiative." The head master said thoughtfully.
The thin monkey rolled his eyes: "I heard that Su Wangting just went home to visit relatives not long ago. He seems to be a rich man from the countryside of Huazhou."
"So you have a family?" The leader's smile gradually became ferocious, and he stood up and ordered: "Brothers, prepare your horses! Hundreds of thousands of treasures are waiting for us!"
