Rebirth of the Phoenix

The treasure appeared

Ying Wuhen also heard the news immediately. He was surprised, but not that surprised.

He was surprised because the news was so shocking. As a leader of the younger generation of the Ying family, he had a very close relationship with the Ye family, but he had not heard any news from his master Ye Wanjun and his aunt Ying Rushuang.

If this is really the case, they will definitely know.

He was not so surprised because Ye Jiu looked so much like the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor. He was not surprised to say that he was the Supreme Emperor's son.

So, what is going on?

Was Ye Jiu really sent to Xiliang by his aunt as an undercover agent? If so, it would be impossible to send someone who could expose lies at a glance, right?

Yue Cangxiao must have noticed at a glance how similar Ye Jiu was to Ye Beihuang. If his aunt sent Ye Jiu to be an undercover agent, in his opinion, she did not want Ye Jiu to be an undercover agent at all, but sent Ye Jiu to seek death.

!

Send Yejiu to die?

He jumped up suddenly, gripped the wine glass tightly, and his eyes flashed.

Could it be...that this is my aunt's true intention?

Maybe this rumor is true and Ye Jiu is really the prince, but his aunt and Ye Qingge don't intend to recognize him or keep him, so they deliberately find a pretext to let Ye Jiu come to Xiliang and let Ye Jiu die in the enemy's country.

, they don’t have to bear the crime of framing the royal heirs and persecuting their brothers!

Think about it, since ancient times, which emperor can tolerate a brother who is more charming, talented, and ambitious than himself?

In his eyes, Ye Jiu was more accomplished than Ye Qingge. If Ye Qingge was capable, how could he let his aunt take over the power?

The emperor does not want Ye Jiu to compete with him for power, and the empress dowager does not want Ye Jiu to compete with her for power - Ying Wuhen chuckles, that's it!

On the one hand, he spread that Ye Jiu was a member of the Ye family, and on the other hand, he allowed himself to help Ye Jiu secretly, all in order to quietly "prove" the authenticity of this rumor and drive Ye Jiu to a dead end - completely consistent

The Empress Dowager's behavior.

"Hee hee, hee hee hee..." He sat down and poured himself some wine, feeling proud that he had seen through the Empress Dowager's carefully designed conspiracy.

He is a member of the Ying Family, so of course he must fully support the Empress Dowager's plan.

"Someone is coming——"

A young knight ran in: "What are your orders, general?"

Ying Wuhen said calmly: "Select a few of the most powerful people who spread rumors and cut out their tongues. Don't let anyone know that we did it."

If Ye Jiu doesn't come out to stop the rumors, then let him play the role of stopping the rumors. As for why he wants to do it secretly, it is of course to cover up his "relationship" with Ye Jiu. In short, everything is to "protect" Ye Jiu.

Nine.

Anyway, no matter how secretive he is, someone will "guess" it.

The young knight went down.

Just as he was about to have another drink, someone else hurried in: "General, someone wants to sell us General Yejiu's black gold box."

Ying Wuhen raised his eyebrows: "Oh, why don't you just run to my door and hawk?"

The subordinate said: "No. The black market intermediary released the news that the real product has appeared, but the seller refused to come forward. Only the intermediary has full authority to make the decision. Whoever bids the highest will sell to whom. Therefore, many people have quoted prices to the intermediary. We also sent

We asked someone to make a quote. After quoting the price, as soon as our people left, someone came up from behind and said that the seller wanted to sell the goods to us."

"Oh?" Ying Wuhen became interested, "This person is interesting. He said that the intermediary is fully responsible, and he came to us privately. Let me ask you, is our quotation the highest?"

So, the seller wants to skip the high price rebates taken by the intermediary and go directly to them to do the transaction?

But did he allow his men to pay too high a price to acquire Yejiu's things?

Even if he is not short of money, he will not waste it carelessly.

The subordinate shook his head: "No, our quotation is by no means the highest. If ranked, it would be fourth or fifth at most."

Ying Wuhen thought for a while: "Maybe you are sure that what you are selling is genuine?"

The subordinate said: "The other party said he is willing to risk his life to guarantee that it is genuine."

"That's even more interesting." Ying Wuhen smiled with a playful look on his face, "Our price was not the highest, so why did this person choose us? And he contacted us privately? If the intermediary knew that the seller secretly did this, the seller would be punished

This seller is really interesting to chase!"

Obviously, it's not as simple as money.

He even suspected that the other party was just here for him.

If you want to sell Ye Jiu's biggest "secret" to him, wouldn't the other party have a grudge against Ye Jiu and want to use him to get rid of Ye Jiu?

He kept thinking, and at this time, his subordinates said again: "General, the other party said that there is no need to force the sale, and time waits for no one. If we are not interested, just pretend that he didn't say anything."

Ying Wuhen said: "Does the other party know who we are?"

The subordinate shook his head: "You probably don't know that all buyers bid anonymously, and so do we."

Ying Wuhen smiled: "Bring that person to see me and tell me that I am determined to buy it."

He was very interested in Ye Jiu's "secrets", and he even thought that what was in the box might be the mystery of Ye Jiu's life experience, such as the tokens his mother received from Ye Beihuang, etc.

Anyway, he just wanted to know what was in that box.

The men responded and ran away.

About a quarter of an hour later, his subordinates came in with a guy who was wrapped very thickly and only a pair of eyes were exposed. He didn't know whether he was a boy or a girl.

The weather in early spring is only slightly better than the cold winter, but it is still very cold. It is not surprising to wear so much at this time of year.

Ying Wuhen could only tell that this guy should be quite young.

"Do you have the black gold box that Ye Jiu always carries with you?" he asked.

"Yes." The other party's voice came out from the mask. It was muffled and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. "However, for safety reasons, I put the things in a very private place and I didn't take them with me."

"How can I be sure something is real?"

"Everyone who deceives people with fake goods is dead. How dare I make fun of my own life? How dare I deceive General Shadow?"

"I don't know what you look like or your last name. What should I do if I get cheated?"

"In this dangerous pass, who can deceive General Shadow? Who can avoid General Shadow's investigation? I dress up like this just because I don't want to be targeted by the Silhouette Army. If General Ye knows that something is here with me, he will definitely

Kill me and I will have to be careful."

"That makes sense." Ying Wuhen smiled, truly indescribably graceful, "Although I am indeed very interested in this thing, I also want to know why you had to sell it to me?"

"Why did the general say this?" The seller's eyes showed surprise, "It's not that I won't sell because of General Ying, but I think the buyers with the fourth to sixth quotations are the best, so I asked for the ranking.

The fourth buyer asked, but I didn’t expect that this buyer turned out to be a subordinate of General Shadow, it was just a coincidence.”

Ying Wuhen asked: "When buying and selling this kind of thing, the more money you can make, the better. If you don't find the one with the highest price, but the one with the lowest price, isn't it unreasonable?"

The seller was silent for a moment and then said: "General Ye's people are looking for this box everywhere. I'm worried that the highest bidder on the black market is General Ye's people. They don't dare to take risks and only dare to find buyers outside the top three.

Moreover, the black market intermediary fees are too high, and no matter how high the price is, it may not be high after deducting the intermediary fees. Therefore, I privately found the buyer with a lower price to negotiate the deal."

Ying Wuhen smiled: "You are quite smart."

The seller said: "It's a matter of life, so you have to be careful."

Ying Wuhen said again: "I heard that Ye Jiu paid close attention to that box. How did you get it?"

"This... is not convenient to disclose."

"Do you have a grudge against Ye Jiu?"

The seller was silent for a moment and then said: "I just want to talk about the sale and don't want to talk about anything else."

Ying Wuhen smiled: "Well, since you don't want to talk about this, let's not talk about it. I have already prepared the money. Where are the things?"

The seller said: "General, give me the money, and I will leave an address for the general. The general will send someone to that address, and they will find the instruction map. Follow the instruction map, and you will find the box."

Ying Wuhen frowned: "Why is it so troublesome!"

The seller said: "I am worried about losing both people and money, so I came up with this trick. I also asked General Ying to buy a lot of them. Don't argue with the small ones."

Ying Wuhen laughed loudly: "That's right, it's impossible for everyone to be as capable as this general. Well, I will accept your approach. Someone come and give me the banknote."

A servant immediately ran over and handed a stack of banknotes to the seller.

The seller took the banknote, looked at it, and counted it. Greed and joy flashed in his eyes. Then he stuffed the banknote into his arms and took out a note: "Thank you, General Ying! This is the first time."

An address, General Shadow sends people there, and the map can be found."

The subordinate took the note and handed it to Ying Wuhen.

After Ying Wuhen looked at it, he muttered: "It's quite far."

The seller said nothing more and raised his hand: "The little one is leaving first. If General Ying can't get the real thing by then, he will definitely find the little one and kill him, so the little one will never dare to lie, so he leaves.

"

Then, he turned around and left quickly.

The subordinates looked at his back and asked Ying Wuhen: "General, are you just going to let him go?"

Ying Wuhen smiled: "Send someone to follow him, don't alert him. In addition, send someone to look for him in this place."

The men responded and ran out.

The room became quiet.

However, Ying Wuhen couldn't sit still and turned around, hoping that the box would be found and delivered to him immediately, so that he could be the first person to know the secret that Ye Jiu tried so hard to hide.

Waiting and waiting, after waiting for more than an hour, the man finally hurriedly came in with a box wrapped in a towel.

Ying Wuhen's brows lit up with joy: "I found the thing."

"Found it." The man put the things on the table and took away the towel.

A black gold box about three feet long and one foot wide appeared in front of Ying Wuhen.

Ying Wuhen stroked the smooth, cold, glossy box and praised: "What a good thing!"

You can tell that this box is carefully crafted at first glance, and what is inside must be extremely precious - Ye Jiu's secret is really exciting.

However, he then looked around and touched around, but couldn't find any place or place to open it.

How could a mere box stump him?

He was really dissatisfied!
