Gu Sheng's head surfaced again. This time the treasure map was not as troublesome as the previous skeletons. He rowed twice and returned to the shore.
"What is this!"
Chu Xin looked at the black iron treasure map in Gu Sheng's hand with suspicion in her eyes, "Gu Sheng, tell me honestly, how do you know these things, and how many things have you hid from me."
"This is the legendary Treasure Map of Emperor Yu. At that time, Emperor Yu left treasures in the treasure house that were enough to change the situation in Kyushu.
It's a pity that the treasure map is incomplete. There is only half here, and the other half is inside the Iron Clothes Gate of Chu County. They are powerful and cannot be provoked by us now.
Besides, this treasure house is dangerous. If you don’t have the innate strength to enter it, you’ll be seeking death. I don’t have the guts to randomly change the dungeon map right now.”
Gu Sheng proudly shook the treasure map in his hand, then lowered his face and leaned into Chu Xin's ear and said jokingly: "But ah! Girl, I just heard someone say that they want to know my secret.
But I have sworn that my secret can only be shared with my closest people... Otherwise, I will suffer a loss and let some people... hum~"
"Bah! The perverted tiger always thinks of bad things all day long!"
Chu Xin rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng and reached out to take the half of Emperor Yu's treasure map, "It's not safe for you to leave this thing here. I've kept it for you."
"This girl!"
Gu Sheng looked at Chu Xin's little face in a daze. When he woke up, the little beauty Chu Xin put away the things and made a fire to cook on the other side, leaving him with an extremely beautiful back.
"Don't be in a daze, the color tiger is coming to help!"
Chu Xin turned to look at Gu Sheng, wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction and shouted at him sweetly.
"coming!"
Gu Sheng responded with a smile and walked towards Chu Xin who was handling the hare. He felt very good on days like this!
…
Li Yuan, the head of the Li Mansion in Wancheng, Wu'an County, is pacing in his study. On the desk, a piece of letter paper is spread out. Li Yuan subconsciously glances at it every time he passes by, his expression
But it is getting more and more ugly.
Li Yuan suddenly stopped and muttered to himself: "It's too much, it's too much. What does the Liu family mean by threatening me?"
"Yuan'er, why are you so anxious to find me?"
With a slightly old call, Li Yuan's father, Mr. Li, walked in with the support of two servants.
"father!"
Li Yuanlian stepped forward and took Old Mrs. Li's arm, helped the old man to the recliner and said to the two servants: "Go outside and watch. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
"yes!"
The two servants bowed slightly, followed the order and left the room, closed the door, and then walked about two feet outside the door to guard it.
"whats the matter!"
Old Mrs. Li's face became serious when he saw Li Yuan's actions. Li Yuan had taken over the Li family's business for five or six years. Normally, he would not disturb him unless something big happened. But now he is so cautious. He is afraid that something big is about to happen.
"Dad, look!"
Li Yuan walked to the desk, picked up the letter, came to Mrs. Li and handed it over.
Old Mrs. Li reached out and took the letter, lowered his head and looked at it carefully. The more he read, the uglier his face became.
"Peng~"
The letter paper was slapped on the desk by Mrs. Li.
"It's too much. The Li family is so arrogant that they actually asked me for the recipe of the Li family wine. He, Liu Sanlong, really thinks of himself as a big shot. Does he think that he can do whatever he wants by having some relationship with the Zhao family, the governor of Wu'an County!"
Mrs. Li's face turned red with anger and he was breathing heavily. Seeing this, Li Yuan hurriedly walked behind his father and patted his back to help him catch his breath.
"Dad, don't be angry, it will hurt your health."
Li Yuan didn't want anything to happen to the old man, so he hurriedly calmed the old man's mood.
"Ahem!"
Old Mrs. Li coughed twice, "How can I not be angry! Our Li family has been able to grow from a wine seller to a wealthy family. What does it rely on? It's not the Li family wine. This is the root of the Li family."
!
What does Liu Sanlong mean? Let us give up the wine from the Li family and let him go to Zhao Yuansuo, the governor of Wu'an County, to help him live longer. It's not like his Liu family doesn't have good things, so why should he use the wine from my Li family to help him live longer?
It's too much to bully others. It's true that the powerful people in Wancheng don't have any good things. We shouldn't have moved out of Wubao and come to Wancheng in the first place."
"Dad, don't be angry."
Li Yuan did not dare to answer, but was a little speechless. The move out of Wubao was the result of careful consideration by the Li family. Turmoil occurred frequently in Kyushu, and the major Wubao outside the city could not completely effectively guarantee the safety of the people.
The Li family had already gained momentum at that time, and the business in Wancheng was getting bigger and bigger. Many people in Wubao were already jealous of the Li family. If they had not left Wubao and gone to Wancheng, the Li family might have been visited long ago.
Unfortunately, after arriving in Wancheng, many overt and covert forces, big and small, kept coming to test the house. Many people or forces were eyeing the Li family medicinal wine. However, after all, Wancheng has its own rules. Qinghu Island dominates Yangzhou.
The Yinjiao Army and the local guards are not vegetarians, and no one dares to attack the Li family in the city.
Li Yuan's business skills are even better than Mr. Li, who started from scratch. He is indispensable for Li Jiujiu's current reputation in Wancheng.
In addition, Li Yuan was a shrewd man, knew how to cultivate his reputation, and was willing to give charity. He often helped the people of Wancheng and the people in the world. In the Wancheng area, he was known as "timely rain".
Because of these reasons, the Li family took root in Wancheng and lived in peace for several years. However, they did not expect that they would be targeted again.
The Liu family in Wancheng was a prominent local gentry family. They relied on food to make their fortune. They were suspected to have a background in gangs and bandits. They also used money to clear the way, and they were very comfortable in both black and white.
Liu Sanlong, the head of the Liu family, likes to do business with others the most. This so-called 'business' means helping others by 'injecting capital' into other people's businesses and enjoying the dividends after success. Most of Wancheng's businesses are more or less like this.
It has something to do with the Liu family.
Liu Sanlong is a shrewd man with a wide network of contacts. Most businessmen respect him, but businessmen with good strength avoid him. His so-called 'capital injection' is actually like a white wolf with empty hands. If he is not careful, the entire business will be lost to him.
He was cheated. Therefore, he has a very bad reputation in the business world.
However, this man was very good at being a good person. Zhao Yuanzuo, the governor of Wu'an County, had a favored concubine who was given to him as a gift. He also shamelessly accepted the concubine as his sister, which left a mark in Zhao Yuanzuo's heart.
With this relationship and his gang background, many businesses with insufficient strength were swallowed up by his Liu family through both carrot and stick. This guy is really a good person and knows how to spread rain and dew. Many officials in Wancheng were fed by him.
, which made him even more unscrupulous. And this time, he targeted the Li family.
