Chapter 558: Dragon and Phoenix Showing Auspicious Crystal Map
half a month later
The Beiwei Institute is relatively leisurely, and the Jiaofang Division is responsible for the training of the young Luoli, except for martial arts.
On weekdays, the Jin Yiwei of the North Guard are more responsible for maintaining order and acting as villains with black faces.
Wang Xu also went around for a few rounds. Hearing the cries of the little luoli who had made mistakes, he immediately gave up his dedication to his job.
After all, he is not a goldfish guy. Other Jinyiwei members are eager to touch and touch during training, but he thinks that if he has this time, it is better to sit in the room and practice martial arts. I really don’t know what a group of twelve or thirteen little girls can do.
It's touching, isn't that perverted?
Many other Jin Yiwei complained about Wang Xu's three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, thinking that he, the general, came to the Northern Guard to retire.
However, when the complaint was brought to Zhang Lan, Zhang Lan would scold the complainer for being meddlesome. As time went by, there was a second uncle in the Beiwei Station who could not see anyone all day long and would come over for dinner at certain times.
"Second Master, you are here for dinner!"
Looking at Wang Xu, who was coming to eat with his hands behind his back, a Xiaoqi said jokingly.
Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that the second master was calling him. He nodded and said, "I haven't been out for a few days. My seniority has increased?"
The surrounding Jin Yiwei burst into laughter, and even the troublemaker said: "Gouzi, why don't you go and pour tea for your second master? There are people coming from my hometown, why are you still so ignorant of the rules!"
Amidst the laughter, Xiaoqi, who was nicknamed Gouzi, did not blush. With everyone's encouragement, he actually poured Wang Xu a cup of hot tea.
Wang Xu took the tea with a smile, nodded and said: "It's interesting!"
"Mr. Wang Qi, how's that going?" Before everyone could stop playing, Zhang Lan walked in with a hundred households.
As soon as they saw the chief arriving, the Jin Yiwei who were present immediately looked for a place to sit down and eat like a mouse seeing a cat.
Wang Xu pointed around him, and after Zhang Lan sat down, he drank tea and said, "The things have arrived, and they are in my room. I guarantee that they will be refreshing for you."
"Okay, my adoptive father's birthday will be in three days. As long as the things are good, my career will be prosperous and prosperous."
Compared with Zhang Lan's elated expression, Wang Xu looked very calm.
Of course, what he prepared is not wrong. As long as Zhang Lan doesn't try to burn bridges, Liu Qiansui will definitely be impressed.
I'm just afraid that Zhang Lan is a perfect match with him because of his superior abilities but inferior abilities.
If you play like that, Wang Xu will be very angry, and the consequences will be serious.
"Eat first, eat first!"
People are like iron, food is like steel, no matter how urgent it is, don’t rush for a while.
After a good meal and a good drink, Wang Xu took Zhang Lan and walked to his room.
On the way, Wang Xu remained silent and looked quite confident.
Zhang Lan felt uncertain and a little embarrassed, so he asked for words: "Do you still remember that girl named Shishi? She was the girl who compensated you the night you first came here?"
"What's wrong with her?" Half a month has passed, and Wang Xu has long forgotten about Li Shishi. If Zhang Lan doesn't mention it, he will be just as forgotten as A, B, B, D.
Zhang Lan looked around and found no one, then lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "I am the director of the Beiwei Institute. Logically speaking, we have records where these people go after leaving the Beiwei Institute. But I
When I checked the records the day before yesterday, I found that there was no such person as Li Shishi, and even the files had been deleted. Do you think it’s strange?”
"Has this kind of thing happened before?" Wang Xu didn't care about Li Shishi and just chatted with Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan was silent for a while and nodded slightly: "I have, but it's taboo and I can't inquire. The only people who can delete files in Jinyi Guard are the few commanders above. Unless they are employed in the palace, the files of Jinyi Guard
It will not be deleted."
"The old nest is full of mud swallows, flying up the branches and transforming into phoenixes!" Wang Xu is also a little novel. Ordinary female royal guards either join the brothel as the top card, or marry into the high-ranking family as a concubine. The young ones who can be selected by the top
There are very few.
Wang Xu has been in Jinyiwei for half a month, and he is not a newbie. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't find any recently adult princes or tribal leaders who need to marry.
"Forget it, we will no longer be in charge of you after you leave the North Guard. Talk less, ask less, and do more, and you will save yourself from death." Jin Yiwei has many secrets, and Wang Xu just doesn't like to hear them.
A person who is secretive quickly forgets about Li Shishi.
No matter whether she marries the son of a feudal lord as a concubine or becomes a dowry for a tribal leader, what does it have to do with him?
"It makes sense, it makes sense!" Zhang Lan also knew that he had violated a taboo, so he laughed and changed the subject: "Let's look at the treasure first, looking at the treasure is more important."
crunch
Pushing open the door, Wang Xu led Zhang Lan into the room.
Zhang Lan didn't pay attention at first, but when Wang Xu removed the screen and revealed the treasure behind, a sound of inhalation suddenly sounded in his ears.
"This this"
Zhang Lan walked up tremblingly and saw behind the screen an auspicious image of a dragon and phoenix that was one meter and a half tall and two meters wide.
This picture is not painted with a brush, but is composed of five natural crystals of solid color, blue, red, purple, and pink.
As soon as the lights in the room were illuminated, the image of dragon and phoenix in the auspicious shape suddenly shone brightly. Even Zhang Lan, who was born in the Jinyiwei family and boasted that he had seen big scenes, had never seen such a rare treasure.
"Okay, okay, okay"
Zhang Lan had forgotten how to speak. He had a silly smile on his face and only knew how to say hello.
Wang Xu snickered in his heart, of course, this is Panjiayuan's product.
Even though it is an artificial crystal, such a large piece cannot be purchased without more than 100,000 yuan.
The world of Liaozhai is an ancient world in itself. It doesn’t even have glass. Where have you seen artificial crystals?
In this world, Wang Xu said that it was a dragon and phoenix made of natural five-color crystals, and no one dared to tell him otherwise.
"Is this dragon and phoenix auspicious five-color crystal picture enough to impress your godfather?" Wang Xu asked with a smile while standing in front of Zhang Lan.
"That's enough. There is no such rare treasure in the palace. What does it mean to be priceless? This is it!" Zhang Lan walked up obsessively, holding the crystal stone and touching and kissing it, feeling strong reluctance in his heart.
But soon, this reluctance was suppressed by him. He is a man who loves his officials as much as his life. Compared with rare treasures, the temptation of the governor is greater for him.
Looking at Zhang Lan with a silly smile on his face, Wang Xu thought that he was really taking advantage of this silly boy.
If he hadn't just joined the Jinyi Guards and would easily attract attention if he rose to the top in one step, he could have bought thousands of dangdangs for himself just by relying on this rare treasure in the eyes of ancient people.
After all, the imperial court is now fatuous, treacherous ministers and eunuchs are in power, and things like buying and selling officials happen from time to time.
One hundred thousand taels of gold could buy the position of a prefect from the imperial court. It would not be difficult to buy a thousand households at the same price.
It's a pity that although buying and selling an official position is feasible, it is too eye-catching.
The water in this world is very deep, and the chaos is so great, but the dynasty is still able to suppress everything, which shows that the overall situation is still under the control of the court, and there are capable people in the court.
Wang Xu gave half of the credit to Zhang Lan, and used Liu Qiansui's hand to climb up, so as not to look too unusual.
"How did you get such a good thing?" Zhang Lan rubbed his hands, wondering how such a good thing could appear in Wang Xu's hands.
Wang Xu had already thought of an excuse and said bluntly: "This is the treasure of my master Zhou Butong. He traveled around for decades and did many big cases. Among them, there was a wealthy businessman in the South China Sea, and his whole family was killed by my master.
All for the sake of this rare treasure. Now, my master has passed on these treasures and martial arts to me. I don’t care much about treasures, but I can just use it as a tool for advancement!"
Hearing the name Zhou BuTong, Zhang Lan showed surprise.
Zhou Tongtong is a master of the evil way. With the cultivation level of a grand master, he has dominated the world for decades. Even when the six sects sent out Broken-level chief arresters, he escaped.
It is not surprising that such an evil evildoer has several treasures in his hands, but Zhang Lan did not expect that Zhou Tongtong would be of such worth.
Zhang Lan soon thought about it and thought that Zhou Tong was pretending to be poor, otherwise his captor would not just be a master of the Six Doors.
Wang Xu didn't know what Zhang Lan was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely burst into laughter.
How could Zhou Tongtong be worth anything? When Wang Xu killed Zhou Tongtong in the General Temple on Fenghuangpo, Zhou Tongtong didn't even have ten taels of silver on him.
It's a pity that Zhou Tongtong is dead now. Of course, the dead person has no evidence to prove his death. Wang Xu, wearing the hat of Zhou Tongtong's successor, can just say whatever he wants.
three days later
"Master Zhang, the left minister of the Supervision Department, presents a golden Buddha to wish you a long life and a long life!"
"Master Wang, the Minister of Rites, would like to send you two pieces of Ruyi jade to wish you a thousand years of good luck!"
"Master Qian, the Minister of Household Affairs, would like to send you a set of four treasures from the study room to wish you a thousand years of good fortune!"
"Baqu, the Marquis of Sun, presents a pair of jade peaches to wish him a thousand years of blessings like the East Sea."
"Master Xiao, the magistrate of Qingzhou, sent me a calligraphy treasure from Wanzhang Mountain, and congratulated me on my thousand-year-old birthday to Bi Nanshan!"
Standing outside Liu Qiansui's mansion, Wang Xu and Zhang Lan looked at each other. The dignitaries who were being welcomed were at least the fourth-rank Minister of the Sixth Department.
Officials below the fourth rank have never heard of housekeepers signing up. Even if they come, they put down their gifts and leave in despair under the impatient eyes of others.
After listening for a long time, Zhang Lan, a member of the fifth rank of Jinyiwei, was like a little shrimp here. If he didn't have the title of godson on his head, the butler who signed up at the door might not let him in.
"Butler, do you still know me? I am Zhang Lan, the godson of Chitose, Jinyiwei Qianhu. It's my godfather's birthday this time, and I'm here to give him a birthday gift!"
Zhang Lan cautiously approached, nodded and spoke to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper looked Zhang Lan up and down, then looked at the gift carried by Jin Yiwei, and said with a smile: "It's you, little monkey. Hey, the gift looks quite expensive!"
Different from other people's birthday gifts, the crystal picture of dragon and phoenix presented by Wang Xu required at least four people to carry it away.
Looking at the gift that was still covered in red, the butler's tone was full of ridicule. Anyway, he didn't think that a small guard Qianhu could bring any expensive gift.
"Open it first and have a look. For the sake of you being Chitose's godson, if you can get on the stage, I'll sing a line for you too!" The butler waved his hand gently, and two house slaves dressed as servants trotted around.
The picture is gone.
Wow!!
The red cloth was uncovered, and the sunlight hit the five-color crystal. Seeing the colorful light, everyone present was speechless.
The housekeeper swallowed hard, wiped his eyes in disbelief, and said with a trembling voice: "Zhang Lan, the Qianhu of the Imperial Guard, and Wang Xu, the general banner, gave birthday gifts of dragons and phoenixes in the form of auspicious crystal pictures, which are priceless!!"
