In the night, on Lake Tai, the boat's fire was like starlight.
Facing the pirates blocking the way, Zhao WuXian didn't show off his ability to attack. Instead, he spoke with confidence, which made Tie Youxia secretly amazed.
He thought to himself, There are many capable people in the world. There were countless people who relied on their abilities to bully the weak.”
"And those who have the ability to control it are rare.”
"This prince is powerful but does not use it, hidden but does not move. He is either a true hero or a schemer.”
Tie Youxia couldn't help but think of his master.
Zhuge Zhengwo, the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty and the Divine Marquis of Sixty-Five.
Tie Youxia was deep in thought.
"The ten thousand taels are on the ship. Do you dare to come and get them?" Zhao WuXian said to Lang Lijiao in a clear voice.”
The surroundings fell silent.
Abby stole a glance at Zhao WuXian, thinking to herself, Is this His Highness trying to trick Lang Lijiao into boarding the ship? He's quite scheming.
Not only Abby, but the others also thought so.
"Big brother, we can't go over. What if there's a trap?" Lang Lijiao's second head said.”
Lang Lijiao didn't listen, he laughed and said,""Hehe, why not?"
He leaped onto the bow of the ship and leaped out.
Like a flood dragon, it flipped twice in the air and crossed a distance of ten feet. With a whoosh, it landed on the deck.
The servants and guards couldn't help but step forward. The light of their sabers dazzled under the firelight.
"Retreat!"
Zhao WuXian shouted.
The person who stepped forward stepped back and made way for Lang Lijiao.
Lang Lijiao walked forward with a smile, but his mind was already extremely tense. The veins on his forehead were slightly bulging, and a thin layer of sweat was seeping out.
When he landed, he had already caught sight of the people on the ship.
He felt as if he had kicked an iron plate.
Let's not talk about the four masters who faintly gave off the scent of people from the public sect.
Just the gentle and refined young master in front of him and the white-veiled woman made him unable to see through them at all.
As he walked forward.
An invisible aura shook his heart.
Everything fell silent.
In the world, it was as if only he and Zhao WuXian were left.
Zhao WuXian's figure continued to rise, like a towering mountain, and he was the person at the foot of the mountain.
When Lang Lijiao was only five feet away from Zhao WuXian, Zhao WuXian was shocked.
He had already lowered his head.
The clothes on his back were already drenched in cold sweat.
At this moment, he did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"These are 10 pieces of money from the Square Bank, each one is 1000 taels.”
This ten thousand taels of silver was Gu Changqing's apology to him. It was money to buy his life.
Using it to relieve the disaster victims could be considered a good use.
Zhao WuXian's words weren't harsh, and were very gentle.
However, in Lang Lijiao's ears, it was like thunder. It had an indescribable and irresistible majesty.
He stretched out both hands to receive the silver notes and subconsciously said,""Yes, sir!"
The surrounding people all revealed surprised expressions.
Because he, who had been so heroic just a moment ago, was now like Zhao WuXian's loyal subordinate, waiting for orders.
Wasn't his attitude changing too quickly?
"Brother Xia Youtie, I'll have to trouble you to go with Lang Lijiao and see if the ten thousand taels of silver really fell into the hands of the disaster victims.”
Tie Youxia was stunned.
He hadn't expected Zhao WuXian to pick someone he didn't want to do.
"Xia Youtie" was his alias when he entered the Imperial City Department.
He wanted to refuse.
However, he remembered that the case he came to Suzhou to investigate this time was related to the Thirty-six Bandits.
He might be able to take this opportunity to learn something from Lang Lijiao.
He nodded.
As one of the new four famous constables of the Great Song, Iron Hand had come to Suzhou under an alias not just to protect the magistrate.
Tie Youxia and Lang Lijiao returned to the pirate ship.
He stood on the deck of his ship.
Lang Lijiao let out a breath and took a deep breath.
It was like a fish that had finally come back to life after holding it in for a long time.
He let the Second Leader blow the conch three times.
The small boats in the light and dark flew away.
His ship also disappeared into the darkness.
When they were far away from the waterway.
"Mr. Xia, who is that young master?" Lang Lijiao asked.”
"The son of Duke Jingguo of Suzhou!”
"Duke Jingguo?"
"The one with the hat?" Lang Lijiao asked with a strange expression.”
Good news does not leave the house, but bad news travels thousands of miles.
The story of Zhao Shiji, the Duke of Jingguo, almost being murdered by his wife and her lover was widely spread around Taihu Lake.
Especially the pirates of Taihu Lake, who began to mock the fatuous imperial court.
In addition!
Lang Lijiao had heard that Lu Chengfeng, the owner of the Cloud Returning Manor on Lake Tai, was Lu Chengyun's brother.
No wonder Lu Chengfeng went to Suzhou and came back dejectedly, not mentioning anything about revenge.
Zhao WuXian, Wang Yuyan, and Abby returned to the ship together.
The boat continued to move.
Nothing seemed to have happened.
It was already late at night. Abby went to another room to rest.
Ding! You have gifted Lang Lijiao 10,000 silver!
[You have triggered 1,000 times Critical Hit Return!]
[You have obtained Emperor Liang Yuan's Treasure Map!]
Inside the muslin tent, Zhao WuXian looked at the system prompt. He raised an eyebrow and said to Wang Yuyan,"Have you heard of Emperor Liang Yuan's treasure?”
Wang Yuyan was slightly surprised and nodded slightly.
"I heard from cousin that Emperor Liang Yuan was the emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.”
"At that time, the situation was chaotic, so he hid a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry in case of emergency.”
"After he hid the treasure, he killed all the soldiers and craftsmen he dealt with.”
"Later on, he was killed by the soldiers of Bei Zhou, and the treasure disappeared without a trace.”
"I heard that cousin is also secretly sending people to look for this treasure.”
The Murongs wanted to rebel.
He definitely had to save up money and food.
Therefore, it was normal for Murong Fu to want to find the legendary treasure of Emperor Yuan Liang.
Murong Fu wasn't the only one looking.
Many Jianghu people who coveted treasures, and even the royal family, were also looking for it.
1000 times 10,000 taels, that was 10 million taels.
What was the concept?
It was equivalent to a quarter of the Great Song's financial income last year.
Moreover, it was real silver, not copper or iron coins.
The Song Dynasty was short of silver. Now, one tael of silver could be exchanged for three or four strings of copper coins, but only a fool would exchange it for copper coins.
"Have a good rest," Zhao WuXian said with a smile,"Tomorrow, you'll be able to show off your might!"”
"Hmm?"
Wang Yuyan was puzzled.
"Believe it or not, I've given Lang Lijiao ten thousand taels, and it'll soon reach the ears of the Thirty-Six Bandits," Zhao WuXian said.”
Wang Yuyan was deep in thought.
"Who would want to miss out on a fat sheep?”Zhao WuXian smiled.
Wang Yuyan came to a realization and pinched him lightly."You're so bad!"
"What's wrong? I'm doing the people a favor."
Zhao WuXian's guess wasn't wrong at all.
Lang Lijiao had not returned home yet.
The news that he had robbed ten thousand taels of silver had already spread to the other pirate nests.
The bandits in Taihu Lake could not sleep tonight.
