Chapter 39 The Great Seal of Sun Khan!
"did not find?"

Lu Yunyi looked at Liu Heying, who had red eyes, rolled up trouser legs, and looked like an old farmer, with a strange expression on his face.

Liu Heiying glanced casually at the shovel in his hand.
He was quite dejected. He sat down on the ground and continued to sigh.

"Where is it? Where is the thing?"

"I have dug the campground thoroughly, and I am only about to dig three feet underground, but where are the things?"

Listening to Liu Heiying sitting there mumbling to himself,

Lu Yunyi wanted to laugh but held it back, and just pretended to be nothing and said calmly:

"If you can't find it, then don't look for it. In comparison, military merit is more real."

As he spoke, Lu Yunyi looked at the time and said:

"It will be dawn in two hours. If we can't find it before dawn, we will lead our troops to leave."

Liu Heiying suddenly felt like crying but had no tears. He quickly got up, picked up the shovel and rushed out, leaving behind a sentence:

"Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find that thing!!!"

But things in the world often go against one's will, and two hours passed quickly.
The morning sun is like the falling star last night, climbing up the sky silently.
It casts its light, melting the darkness on the grassland.

The sun rose as usual, but the weather was still gray, with dark clouds and strong winds.
Lu Yunyi stood in front of the military tent, staring blankly at the wind blowing past him, looking at the sky, and muttered:
“It’s going to snow.”

In the distance, the camp of the Wusun branch was in ruins.
Like unsown arable land, dug up with holes and pits,

The yellow earth with some dark soil made the soldiers stunned.

What are you looking for?
The soldiers didn't know either, but no matter what strange things they dug out, they had to preserve them well.

Liu Heiying sat slumped on the ground, with all kinds of colorful stones in front of him.
There were also some strange mosquitoes with looks of loss on their faces.

I didn’t find it. I really didn’t find it.
For some reason, Liu Heiying suddenly felt deeply involved in it.

Then it feels like all your efforts have been in vain.

Lu Yunyi came over at this time and said with a smile:

"Since we can't find it, then forget about looking. Don't we still have the captured loot? Maybe it's among them."

Liu Heiying was dejected, without any of the arrogance he usually had during training. He nodded slightly:

"Brother Yun'er, I'll borrow your good words. I hope it's among the captured items."

As he said this, he stood up with a shovel in his hand.

He looked at the soldier who also looked like an old farmer with a lost look, and shouted:
"Disperse, disperse, everyone disperse."

The soldiers then stood up one by one.

They all held the tools in one hand and put the other hand on their waist, looking at Liu Heying helplessly.

"Did you find the thing?" Ma Dake looked at the weather, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked loudly.

Liu Heiying shook his head and looked at the soldiers' faces full of resentment.

As if he was going to eat him alive, he quickly shrank his neck and rolled his eyes:
"It seems that the treasure of the Naiman tribe is not

Here, brothers, thank you for your hard work. "

"What? The treasure of the Naiman tribe?"

Ma Dake's eyes widened immediately, and he lowered his hands from his waist silently.
With the other hand he shoveled another shovel of soil.
The rest of the soldiers were almost the same and dug in the soil for a while.

"Forget it, forget it. Let's all take a rest. If we can't find it, forget it."

Liu Heiying left after saying something and took the shovel.

"Hey, hey, hey, why don't we dig a little longer? We can handle it."

Ma Dake was a little anxious, and waved at Liu Heiying's back.

The other soldiers also looked anxiously eager.

Seeing the soldiers' expressions, Lu Yunyi couldn't help but curl his lips.
It seems that getting rich is a temptation that no one can refuse.

Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand:

"Alright, alright, come back and rest up, we'll be setting off when the weather warms up at noon."

After Lord Xiao Lu spoke, the soldiers left the construction site with regret on their faces.

He just kept looking back and forth across the ruined land, hoping to find some clues.

"Sir, is the treasure of the Naiman tribe really here?"

Ma Dake opened his eyes wide, came to Lu Yunyi and asked,
The soldiers involuntarily slowed down their pace and looked over here intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Yunyi smiled and waved his hand again:
"Don't listen to Liu Heiying's nonsense. How could the Naiman tribe's treasure be here?

Okay, okay, go back and rest."

Ma Dake then left with an indignant look on his face, waving his shovel in the air and cursing:
"This Liu Hei Ying talks nonsense all the time."

The rest of the soldiers also started cursing. Lu Yunyi was very satisfied when he saw this scene.

After many days of training, we fought together yesterday and worked together today.

The barriers between the soldiers were quietly eliminated and they became like a whole.

When the war is over, I will take them to eat and drink.
Going to a brothel together means they are brothers who will live together for life.

In this way, the vanguard scout was completed.

Looking at their backs, Lu Yunyi shouted loudly:
"Everyone, take a rest. We will set out at noon. There are still many achievements waiting for us in the northern grasslands."

“Found it! Found it!!”

In the warehouse of Liu Huaipu Trading Company,
Xiao Shunzi crawled out of a cow's belly.
Covered in blood, eyes wide open,
Looking at the oil paper bag in his hand, he couldn't help but shout!

The sound echoed in the warehouse.

After a long time, Liu Huaipu and Chen Jingyi crawled out from the stomachs of the livestock, with an incredible look on their faces.

Did you actually find it?
Chen Jingyi didn't care about the blood on his body, he quickly stepped forward and took the oil paper bag.
Wipe off the mucus on it and open it carefully.

Suddenly, an ancient bronze silver letter appeared in front of the three people.
Chen Jingyi smiled for the first time on his serious face:
“It’s actually in the animal’s stomach.”

Liu Huaipu sat down on the ground.

He was old, and had worked nearly all night.
When I saw that I had found something, I couldn't hold it anymore.

Xiao Shunzi quickly squatted down, showing concern:
"Uncle Liu, are you okay?"

"What can I do? My arms and legs are sore.
But fortunately, I found it, so it wasn’t a waste of effort.”

Chen Jingyi bent down, helped Liu Huaipu up, and handed him the seal:

"Master Liu, please keep this thing well. Brother Black Hawk values ​​it very much."

Liu Huaipu nodded, took the seal and put it in his arms.
Then he looked at the mess inside the warehouse, especially the corpses of cattle and sheep, which were scattered all over the floor.

A hint of pain could not help showing.

"I have found the things, but I am going to lose my money.
The sheep are fine, they died, but I have to buy some more cows to replace them."

Chen Jingyi raised his eyebrows slightly.
He wanted to give a reminder, but now it seems unnecessary.

So he said, "This is also for the sake of safety. If someone comes to investigate, I can evade them.
This item looks like a grassland seal, I believe it is extremely important to the Black Hawk brothers, so it is not a waste to spend some money on it. "

Liu Huaipu smiled, wiped his bloody hands, reached into his pockets and took out two silver bills.
"One hundred taels per person is the reward for this night.

Once you leave this door, forget everything that happened in the warehouse."

Without waiting for the two to speak, Liu Huaipu stuffed the silver in:
"Black Hawk is young and ignorant, and always relies on friendship to do things.
But I am a businessman, I have a lot of money, I like to exchange gifts,
You helped me today, and this is my reward.
We also formed some friendships.
If you two ask me to do something for you in the future, I will not refuse.
As time went by, the friendship grew deeper.

Of course, if I ask you two to do something in the future, please do your best. " "Of course, thank you, Mr. Liu." Chen Jingyi took the lead in bowing.
Xiao Shunzi stared blankly at the silver in his hand.

He lost his composure for a moment, as this was a sum of money that he would never be able to earn in his entire life.

"Thank you very much. Thank you Uncle Liu. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Liu Huaipu slapped him:

"You are working in the company right now. If I don't give orders to you, who should I give orders to?"

Xiao Shunzi chuckled and scratched his head.
"Okay, I won't keep you two here any longer. Leave through the back door."

After the two men left, Liu Huaipu took out the seal and looked at it, with some doubt in his eyes.
Then he left through the back door.

An hour later, in front of the gate of Lu Mansion,

Liu Huaipu got off the carriage and saw the doorman Lao Zhang coming towards him.

The concierge, Lao Zhang, came closer, shrugged his nose, and suddenly frowned.
After looking at Liu Huaipu for a while, he looked up.

The strangeness in his expression immediately disappeared, and instead he smiled.

"It's Shopkeeper Liu. Please walk slowly. It just rained and the road is slippery."

Liu Huaipu smiled and asked, "Is Mr. Lu at home?"

The doorman, Lao Zhang, smiled, moved closer to the carriage, sniffed and said with a smile:
"There's going to be a war. The nobles in Qingzhou have gone to Beiping. The master has been at home these days."

Liu Huaipu walked away with a smile:

"Those people are as cowardly as mice. It's just a war, why are they running away?"

"Manager Liu is indeed very courageous and worthy of being a wealthy businessman in Qingzhou."

Liu Huaipu frowned, leaned his head closer, and whispered:
"If Black Hawk hadn't been in the army, I would have run away long ago.
It’s so cold, and I’m in so much pain all over.”

The doorman, Lao Zhang, was startled, then smiled:
"Black Hawk will be fine in the army if he follows the young master."

Liu Huaipu nodded: "Black Hawk's mother gave birth prematurely, which made him weak and sickly since childhood.
If I hadn't trained with Lu Yunyi since I was a child, I would have died long ago. How could I have the strength I have today?
I got promoted a few days ago. My Liu family has been farmers for generations, and finally an official has emerged.
So, today I come to thank Mr. Lu,

If he wasn't in Qingzhou, my business wouldn't be doing well, and my son wouldn't be around anymore."

The doorman, Lao Zhang, smiled gently and took him to the main room.
"Manager Liu, please go in by yourself. I still have to guard the door."

"Excuse me, the company recently got some beef and mutton from the grassland.

I'll have my servants take care of it and send some over in the evening, including one for you.
Don't be shy, eat more to replenish your body."

"Thank you very much, Manager Liu."

After doing all this, Liu Huaipu pushed the door open and saw Mr. Lu who was writing furiously at the desk.

"Why are you here? What's the matter?" Mr. Lu asked in a deep voice without looking up.

Liu Huaipu did not waste any words, took out the seal from his pocket, walked straight forward and slapped it on the table.
"Take a look, what is this?"

Lu raised his head slightly, frowned, and quickly picked up the seal, examining it carefully:
"Great Seal of the Prairie?"

Liu Huaipu nodded: "Yes, it was dug out from the cow's stomach."

"Cow stomach?" Mr. Lu looked surprised.

"Yes, the cattle belonged to the Naiman tribe and were captured by Lu Yunyi and Black Hawk.

Yesterday afternoon, someone suddenly sent me a letter in a hurry, asking me to take away all the spoils." Liu Huaipu said quickly.

"Naiman tribe?" Mr. Lu frowned even deeper.

"Yes, I also inquired about it. Yan San returned and made great contributions.
Together with the vanguard scouts led by Lu Yunyi, they killed more than a thousand elite soldiers of the Naiman tribe.

Nearly seven hundred people were captured.”

Mr. Lu raised his eyebrows slightly and narrowed his eyes:

"Are you saying that the elite Naiman tribe came here to look for this thing?
Is it the great seal of the Naiman tribe?"

Lu Dangjia thought of something, and his pupils shrank slightly:

"Sun sweat?"

Liu Huaipu shrugged and kept pulling his beard:

"It's obvious that the two guys learned the location of the seal from the captives.
So I sent someone to send a letter back, asking me to look for it."

Lu nodded: "Is he reliable?"

"I have a man who works beside me.
One of them was a coroner from the government office a few years ago, the same Chen Jingyi who kept seeking justice for his son’s death.”

Liu Huaipu seemed to have thought of something and pointed to the next door:

"His son died in an unclear manner, just like the widow next door,

Lu Yunyi is now a captain and has the ability to investigate this matter."

Lu Dangjia knew that he wanted to say that Chen Jingyi was doing things for the two children in order to investigate the truth of the year.
He nodded slightly to show that he understood, and glanced back and forth at the seal.
After a long while, he placed the seal directly on the bookshelf behind him, just like that.

"Just leave it like this? Not sending it to the general?" Liu Huaipu's eyes widened.

"People in high positions will always be impulsive when they see treasures. Whoever gives this thing will benefit. Let's wait for them to come back." Mr. Lu said calmly.

Liu Huaipu nodded: "You are right, we should make efforts while they are young, and the sooner they are promoted, the better."

Mr. Lu put away the paper and pen on the table and glanced at him:
"Now the world is at peace, the four seas are in turmoil,

The higher you climb, the harder you fall.
This is especially true in the military, where a defeat is irreparable.
There won’t be as many chances to start over as there were when the world was still unsettled, so it’s better to be more stable.”

Liu Huaipu's face was solemn, and he nodded in agreement:
“Business has been a bit tough in recent years.
There are businesses everywhere, and each has a strong background.
If I hadn't started early, I wouldn't have gotten a share of the pie.

If I were to start over again, I probably wouldn't be where I am now, and I might be even worse off."

"You're complaining without any reason, you're greedy, you're ungrateful after getting something for nothing." Mr. Lu was blunt.

Liu Huaipu didn't mind at all and just sat there happily drinking tea.
After finishing the tea, he stood up.
"Let's go, I'm going to go back and take a bath.
This bloody smell all over my body would make anyone want to smell it. If someone doesn’t know, they would think that I have killed someone.”

After he left, the doorman Lao Zhang came in quietly, bowed and said:
"Master, Shopkeeper Liu smells strongly of blood.

It doesn't look like a human, and has a slight smell of mutton, so it must be a cow or a sheep."

"understood."

The concierge, Lao Zhang, continued:

"Master, Madam Ning from next door is here and wants to see the young master.
I told her that the young master had gone to war, and she said she wanted to see you."

"not see."

"Yes."

Outside the gate of Lu Mansion, a woman stood there quietly, wearing a plain dress.
The hem of her skirt swayed gently in the breeze, like a white lotus blooming alone in the cold wind.

Her face was delicate and pale, her eyes were deep and sad.
As if hiding endless longing and waiting,

The corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and there was a hint of sadness between his brows.
It seemed as if a gentle breeze could touch the softness deep in her heart.

Her hair was neatly tied up, with a few strands of hair gently fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of charm and fragility to her.

When the doorman, Lao Zhang, came out, the woman's eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of joy flashing in them, but she quickly returned to normal.

"How is it?" The woman's voice was clear and soft, with a hint of sadness.

The concierge, Lao Zhang, slowly shook his head:

"Sir, please do not see guests. Madam Ning, please come back another day."

The woman pursed her lips slightly, and after a long pause, she forced a smile:
"Thank you."
