Li Mu took out the things and looked frightened. Putting aside these treasures, gold, silver and jade, where did these calligraphy and paintings come from? According to Li Siwen, they were all excavated at the location of Dingxiang New City. Dingxiang New City
It is right next to the old city of Dingxiang, which is very northwest of the Central Plains. How can there be so many calligraphy and paintings from the Central Plains buried here?
Li Mu thought about it carefully and thought of a possibility.
Counting from the Tang Dynasty to the front, there are the Qin and Han, Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains began to enter the war. After the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin, there was the Western Jin first, but the Western Jin did not last long, due to the conflict between the attached tribes and the Han people.
The conflicts and frictions continued, and finally a war broke out and the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed. Sima Rui, the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty, crossed south and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Xizhi lived in this era.
At this time, many countries were born to the north of the Yangtze River, known as the "Sixteen Kingdoms" in history. After the Sixteen Kingdoms were unified by the "Former Qin", the former Qin sent his army south and fought a decisive battle with the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the Yangtze River. This is a famous event in history.
The Battle of Feishui.
Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty won the Battle of Feishui, it was a tragic victory, which laid hidden dangers for the future destruction of the country. As a result, the former Qin Dynasty disintegrated and was replaced by the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, there were the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Five Dynasties, and the Southern Dynasty.
It was "Song, Qi, Liang and Chen" until the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, when the north and south were unified.
During the period of the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turkic Khanate was also the most powerful period. It covered a vast area "from the west of Liaohai Sea in the east, to the West Sea thousands of miles west, from the desert north to the south, and five or six thousand miles north to the North Sea".
, its territorial area has surpassed that of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian was a far-sighted monarch. He realized that if the Turkic Khanate continued to grow, sooner or later the Turkic Khanate would send its army southward, and the Sui Dynasty would not necessarily be the opponent of the Turkic cavalry by then.
.
In the second year of Kaihuang's founding, the Turkic Shaluo Khan ordered Apo Khan to invade the south, but was defeated by the Sui army. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty took the opportunity to use various differentiation methods, and finally split the Turkic Khanate into the East and West Turks. The leader of the West Turks
, for Datou Khan.
Datou Khan also formed an alliance with the Eastern Turkic Dulan Khan to oppose Rangan Khan, who was allied with the Sui Dynasty. Rangan Khan was defeated and fled to the Sui Dynasty, and was appointed Qimin Khan by the Sui Dynasty. Datou also called himself Bujiake
Khan, marched into the Eastern Turks in an attempt to become the common leader of the Turks. Qimin Khan received the support of the Sui Dynasty and counterattacked Datou Khan. A fierce battle was going on between the two sides. Qimin Khan sent envoys to lobby the former Eastern Turk tribes under Datou Khan.
, persuaded them to defect before the battle. Datou Khan could not control himself, and was defeated like a mountain. Then he fled to the direction of Tuyuhun and died on the road.
According to legend, Datou Khan fought in all directions and accumulated a lot of treasures. But after his death, his treasures became a mystery, and no one knew where they were. Dingxiang’s location is exactly in the Central Plains
The only way to escape from Tuyuhun. Thinking about the location where Li Siwen dug the tomb, is it possible that Datou Khan did not reach Tuyuhun and died halfway, which is where Dingxiang is now, and his treasures followed him
Buried with him, is this what you see in front of you?
If it is true, Datou Khan is unlucky enough.
Li Mu couldn't tell whether it was true or false. He didn't want to figure it out, because even if he did, it would be of no use. Now that the grave has been dug, if he offended someone, he would be offended to death.
When the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover it with soil. It is useless to think so much.
After a brief inventory, there were seventeen boxes of gold, silver, jade, and six boxes of calligraphy and painting scrolls. In terms of quantity, it was not as large as Jieli's treasure, but in terms of value, it was higher than Jieli's treasure. Not counting calligraphy and painting, there were about three hundred thousand pieces.
.
This is because most of these boxes contain precious metals such as gold and silver. Among Jieli's treasures, there are a lot of copper coins. The piles of copper coins are large, but they are not valuable, while the opposite is true for gold and silver. This also confirms Li Mu's conjecture from the side.
, Just imagine, Datou Khan was defeated and fled, so he naturally picked up valuable coins. Did he need to get dozens of vehicles to take all the copper coins with him?
"Brother, help me buy a batch of grain. I have to take it back to the refugees. The rest will be given to you. I know how you use money. If it weren't for my good luck, I wouldn't be able to help you. You must
Don’t be polite to me, just take it and use it!”
Hearing this, Li Mu was not surprised at all, but Dugu Jiu was quite surprised. He couldn't help but look at Li Siwen a few more times. He is the heir of the Dugu Clan. Although he doesn't care much about money, he still has a vision. Of course he
Knowing how much these things are worth, I didn't expect Li Siwen to be so generous. The price of grain has been driven down by Li Mu. Although he doesn't know how many people in Dingxiang need to eat, he can count on it, even if it's 100,000 yuan to collect grain.
enough.
There are at least 200,000 yuan left, so you just gave it away? Is this guy so generous and careless?
Li Mu smiled and said: "I don't intend to be polite to you. You sent it to my house, how can I let it out? Little brother, you are thinking too much."
Li Siwen smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, at least thank me. This is a lot of money!"
"Well" Li Mu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Thank you."
"!" Li Siwen grinned. He had always felt that he had no ability, so he only asked Li Mu to help him. He couldn't help Li Mu at all. Two hundred thousand dollars was exchanged for Li Mu's "Thank you", no matter
No matter what others think, Li Siwen thinks it's worth it anyway.
What's more important is that he knows in his heart that with Li Mu's character, it is impossible to take advantage of him. The money is placed with him, and when it comes to use in Dingxiang, Li Mu will never stand idly by.
This is a tacit understanding between brothers. There is no need to explain it in such detail. He called people to carry all the boxes into the warehouse. Li Siwen also took Bai Gensheng out to arrange accommodation and rest for the caravan people. Li Mu waved his hand and said
Five hundred guan was spent from the account, and a flowing banquet was set up to entertain the young men of the caravan. They were able to escort these gold and silver treasures intact to Chang'an, which was a great contribution and was worthy of this meal of wine and meat.
In addition to entertaining the people from the caravan, Li Mu also set aside three extra tables to entertain the people from the urban management team. But Zuo et al. did not come, and the waiting people did not come either. Li Mu lost his temper and muttered a few words to Dugu Jiu.
, Dugu Jiufei mounted his horse and went straight to Cheng Yaojin's imperial guard camp.
About two quarters of an hour later, Dugujiu came back. Along with him, there was also a young general named Xuanjia, who was none other than Cheng Yaojin's eldest son, Cheng Chumo. Behind him, there was a group of forbidden troops, all wearing full body armor.
, murderous.
When the caravan guards who were about to eat saw these forbidden troops, they were so frightened that they did not dare to take their chopsticks. It was Li Siwen who came to comfort them and confirmed that many of these people came to cause trouble for them, but they were too angry to show off.
I didn’t even dare to make a sound while eating.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, a few scattered shadows of people finally appeared at the entrance of the square. The person walking at the front was Fang Yiai. He kept turning back to urge him, but it was obvious that not many people listened to him.
Li Mu's face was as dark as water. He looked at everyone entering the square gate and nodded to Cheng Chumo.
"Array up!"
Cheng Chumo shouted loudly, and the guard drew his sword. The cold blade exuded the cold light of orchid, and the surrounding air immediately dropped several degrees.
"Capture the enemy!"
After giving the order, Cheng Chumo took the lead and rushed towards the dazed dandies. Before they could react, the men and horses were already approaching. Of course, killing was not allowed. The guards all used the back of their swords, one at a time, with precision.
The dandy was hit on the back of the head and fell to the ground instantly.
A few of them were guards, and they learned a few tricks from their own eyes and ears, and subconsciously resisted. However, they were no match for the guards. They were defeated in a few strokes and were captured alive and tied into rice dumplings.
Cheng Chumo did it himself. After less than five moves, Fang Yiai was lifted up by the collar by Cheng Chumo. He struggled hard but couldn't break free. Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling were both members of the Qin Prince's family.
Naturally, the children in the family can recognize each other. Although they are of the same generation, Cheng Chumo is much older than Fang Yiai. Fang Yiai is roughly the same age as Cheng Chuliang, the second eldest son of the Cheng family. When they meet Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai
I want to call you brother.
Fang Yiai was suddenly attacked. How could she not be confused? When she saw Cheng Chumo's face, she quickly shouted: "Brother, brother, put me down quickly. I am Fang Yiai! Is there some misunderstanding? Why?
Beat us up!"
In the past few days, Cheng Chumo was unhappy because he learned that he was going to Dingxiang to work for Li Siwen. When he heard his shout, he said angrily: "I have been ordered by the general leading the left army to wait for the dispatch of Marquis Zhulu.
, Zhulu Hou ordered us to capture you, and you will capture them without any help. The more nonsense you say, the more suffering you will suffer."
After saying that, he ignored her and brought Fang Yiai to Li Mu. At this time, other dandies were also brought over under the supervision of the guards.
Fang Yiai had tears in her eyes. She looked at Li Mu angrily and said, "Master Hou, why is this, why are you beating us?"
Before Li Mu could speak, someone in the crowd shouted: "I know, you are Li Siwen's eldest brother. We have all beaten Li Siwen, so you just want to avenge him and find the guards to beat us!"
Someone took the lead, and naturally others echoed: "Hey! What kind of hero is he? It turns out that he is also a bully, seeking revenge on his own? What's the point of borrowing others' hands? If you don't accept one-on-one, who is afraid of who is the grandson!"
Li Siwen came over and happened to hear this. He immediately rolled up his arms and sleeves and shouted: "Du He, please stop shouting, come on, come on, come out. If I don't beat you today, your mother won't recognize you!"
"
The boy named "Du He" was not a good person either. When he heard Li Siwen's shouting, he didn't say anything and stood up with the big purple bump on his head. He raised his arms and was about to fight with Li Siwen. Li Siwen
Knowing that he was no match, he jumped back, pushed Bai Gensheng forward, and shouted: "I am now a Viscount, General of Zhechong Mansion. It would be too disgraceful to fight with an unidentified pawn like you. I will let my pawns fight with you."
It's only reasonable for you to fight him. If you can beat him, it's not too late to fight me."
Du He looked at Bai Gensheng's height and felt a little embarrassed. He refused to answer the question and said sarcastically: "I know that a coward who hides behind others will be embarrassed even if he becomes a viscount, just like your elder brother!"
As soon as he said this, Li Siwen's face suddenly turned ugly. He pulled Bai Gensheng behind him, stared into Du He's eyes, and said, "Du He, I can do whatever you say. We have grown up together."
Big, I won’t argue with you. But you said that I’m not done with you, big brother. Come on, come on, let’s take action. Isn’t it just a fight? I will stay with you until the end today!”
As he spoke, he raised his fist and was about to rush forward. Suddenly, a figure stood in front of him. Li Siwen quickly retracted his fist and took a closer look. It turned out to be Dugu Jiu wearing a mask.
Du He saw Dugu Jiu and said angrily: "What do you do? It's none of your business if we fight!"
"His eldest brother is also my eldest brother. It's none of my business if you scold my eldest brother in front of me?"
Dugujiu sneered, looked at the dudes in front of him, and said: "Don't wait and see, today I want to teach you a lesson, trouble comes from the mouth. If this kid makes rude remarks, I will beat you up. Come on, don't waste time.
Let’s go together!”
Du He shouted: "This kid is even more arrogant. There are more than a dozen of us, how can we be afraid of you? We all come together, we can't let him look down upon..."
Fang Yiai quickly stopped her: "Don't, you are no match!"
They were all young people with strong blood. How could he stop him alone? More than a dozen young people shouted, and the guards did not stop them. They rushed towards Dugu Jiu together.
Li Siwen grinned and closed his eyes. He was not worried about Dugujiu, but worried about these idiots. Why are they doing something bad? Why are they seeking death? I'm afraid you don't know what despair is!
"Ouch...it hurts me to death!"
"Ah...it's broken, please forgive me, brother!"
"Help"
After a burst of screams, a piece of the ground fell. Looking at Dugu Jiu, he didn't even move his arms. He gave up his two hands and kicked down a group of dandy young masters with just his feet.
Dugujiu looked at Fang Yiai, the last one standing. Fang Yiai sighed, squatted down, looked at Li Mu helplessly, and said: "Master Hou, why is this, why do you want to beat us? You didn't let me
Are we here..."
Li Mu said with a cold face: "I asked you to call someone, but I ask you, how long has it been now?"
Fang Yiai looked up at the sky and hesitated: "An hour?"
"An hour?"
Fang Yiai's voice became much softer: "A little more than an hour..."
"How much more?"
"Half, most of half,"
"Is this how you do things?"
Fang Yiai didn't dare to say a word. Li Mu came to Du He again, reached out and grabbed his bun, lifted him up, looked down at his face, and said: "Du He, if I remember correctly, you
He is the son of Lai Gong. Do you still remember who took care of your father's funeral?"
Du He was speechless.
Li Mu threw him down, took a deep breath, and said: "You scumbags have ruined the reputation of your fathers and are hopeless. I didn't have much expectations for you, but I always thought that at least I could
It's just a human being. But now it seems that you are not even considered cattle and horses. The cattle and horses can still plow the land, but you can only make dung!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Mu's lips: "For the sake of your fathers, I, Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, need to educate you!"
