The point is, what does Yi Lanshan give in exchange? The treasure map is in his space, and Yi Lanshan doesn't have a treasure map at all.
Even if he took the fake one, he couldn't fool Qu Huaiyun. Qu Huaiyun had the other half in his hand. He could tell the authenticity just by looking at it.
What is fake is fake, there is no connection between the two.
Qu Huaiyun shook his head, he knew Yi Lanshan. This old guy was not only stubborn, but also cruel, which made him scared.
Between the grandson and the treasure map, he felt that there was little chance that Yi Lanshan would hand over the treasure map.
"I don't think this is feasible. If Yi Lanshan doesn't want to do it, then we'll be wasting our time. Besides, Yi Lanshan has already hidden all the grandchildren in the house. He is so precious to Brother Min, but he doesn't know who he will be.
Hidden somewhere."
Qu Huaiyun didn't want to do this. The most important reason was that Liao Cheng actually asked him to do it. How could he, the dignified leader of the Qu clan, do this?
His eldest son was still an official. If someone found out in the future, wouldn't it mean that he had personally ruined his eldest son's future? He would never agree.
"He thought he had no plans left, but it's a pity that I have already sent people to keep an eye on the movements of Yi Mansion. I know where his grandchildren are."
Liao Cheng smiled, how could he not make any preparations?
Qu Huaiyun looked at Liao Cheng in surprise, and the sneer on Liao Cheng's face made him shudder.
Unexpectedly, Liao Cheng started to deploy it so early. What about his Qu Mansion? Is it also under the control of this person?
"Sir, I don't want to get involved in this matter, please forgive me!"
Qu Huaiyun shook his head firmly. He was not one of those stupid people who could be deceived by just a few words.
It was clear that Liao Cheng came prepared. If he really did what Liao Cheng said today, then he would have left an excuse in front of Liao Cheng.
Liao Cheng's face darkened, "What? Even the Qu clan leader doesn't want the benefits? You have to know that just half of the treasure map won't accomplish anything. If you hand over the entire treasure map, then I can help you in the first auxiliary work for the Qu clan."
If you say a few kind words in front of the Lord, the Chief Assistant will also think of you well."
Liao Cheng cursed in his heart, Qu Huaiyun was really as timid as a mouse, and he didn't know how to cherish such a good opportunity in front of him.
"Please, sir, please hire someone else! I really can't handle this."
When Qu Huaiyun saw Liao Cheng's ugly face, he knew that Liao Cheng had a prejudice against him.
But he holds half of the treasure map as a bargaining chip, and he is not afraid of Liao Cheng falling out anyway.
Qu Huaiyun shook his sleeves, coughed slightly, and picked up the tea bowl on the desk.
"If the leader of Naqu is not happy, please think of another way." Liao Cheng also knew not to push too hard, so his face softened and he said this time.
Qu Huaiyun gave a bitter laugh. "How can I do anything good?"
Liao Cheng was very unhappy when he saw Qu Huaiyun's perfunctory attitude.
"Naqu Chief, please consider my previous suggestion. Remember! Opportunities wait for no one. Don't wait for someone to come from the capital. If the treasure map is not in Yi Mansion, it will be too late."
Liao Cheng didn't want to say anything more. If Qu Huaiyun didn't make any move after tonight, he might have to find someone else to cooperate.
Gu Chengyu watched Liao Cheng walk out of the study and toward the outside of the house.
This person looks upright on the outside, but is sinister and cunning on the inside.
However, Gu Chengyu didn't think that he was a good person. Although he sympathized with the Yi family's upcoming encounter, he would not meddle in others' affairs.
In officialdom, kindness is forbidden, as it will only make people think you are weak and can be bullied.
Liao Cheng will definitely not give up easily. Even if Qu Huaiyun disagrees, he will find other allies.
Gu Chengyu decided to wait, maybe Qu Huaiyun would go to the place where the treasure map was hidden.
Qu Huaiyun sat in front of his desk and thought for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind.
It's impossible not to be tempted. If you really have the entire treasure map in your hand, the benefits will go without saying.
But what he was worried about was Liao Cheng, who was used to stabbing people in the back. He was afraid that if he took advantage of it and blackmailed the Qu family in the future, the gain would outweigh the loss.
"Sir! It's late at night, do you want to go back to your room to rest?" the steward outside the door asked.
Qu Huaiyun paused, but still couldn't decide. He rubbed his forehead and suddenly said: "Go and ask Zhi Lian to come over."
Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes immediately, not knowing what Qu Huaiyun was fussing about in the middle of the night.
Let’s go and see the treasure map. How about a good night’s sleep?
"Yes!" The voice outside the door hesitated for a moment and responded quickly.
Gu Chengyu and Qu Huaiyun didn't wait long before the study door was pushed open.
"master!"
A pleasant voice came, and Gu Chengyu focused his attention on the young man who had just entered the study.
This young man looks about fourteen or fifteen years old and has a very slender figure.
He has fair skin, an oval face, watery almond eyes, and is shy and timid.
His teeth bit his pink lips, making him look very pitiful.
Wearing a moon-white cross-collar robe, there is no embroidery on the robe. It looks simple, but it adds to his temperament.
This boy's appearance made Gu Chengyu suddenly think of himself.
I was a woman in my previous life, but I traveled to this dynasty and became a man fourteen years ago.
And she seems to have forgotten her identity as a woman, and now even behaves like a man.
If he hadn't seen this young man, he really wouldn't have recalled the events of his past life.
Gu Chengyu was absent-minded for a moment. When he came back to his senses, the young man was already standing behind Qu Huaiyun, rubbing his temples.
Gu Chengyu immediately felt that it was very inconsistent. The young man with such a clean temperament and such pure eyes gave him the feeling of being flirtatious.
"Zhi Lian! Is your mother's illness getting better?" Qu Huaiyun closed his eyes, enjoying the young man's tenderness.
Zhilian paused, his expression changed slightly, and then returned to normal.
"much better."
As if he was used to the young man's reticence, Qu Huaiyun didn't ask any more questions.
Gu Chengyu was speechless. He probably might not be able to achieve his goal tonight.
Suddenly, Qu Huaiyun, whose eyes were closed below, grabbed Zhi Lian's right hand, startling Zhi Lian who was rubbing his temples.
Qu Huaiyun stroked the green fingers and felt the delicate and tender skin trembling in his hands.
Qu Huaiyun raised the corner of his mouth with satisfaction. He liked Zhi Lian's thin skin and tender flesh. Coupled with the little white rabbit's panicked look, his excitement couldn't help but rise.
"Come to me." Qu Huaiyun opened his eyes, eyes shining with excitement.
Zhilian hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked out from behind Qu Huaiyun.
"Take off your clothes quickly." Qu Huaiyun seemed impatient, his voice trembling with excitement.
Zhi Lian bit her lip but did not hesitate any longer.
He took off the belt around his slender waist and pulled open his coat, revealing the pink silk clothes underneath.
