Chapter 141: Ancient Yuan Treasure Place

Chapter 141: Ancient Yuan Treasure Place
In the military tent with dim candlelight flickering,

Lu Yunyi and Liu Heiying put their heads together and looked quietly at the white jade hollow jade pendant placed on the table.
Both of them could feel the other's slightly rapid breathing and nervous mood.

There is a hammer with slightly mottled marks on one side of the jade pendant.

The two of them looked back and forth between the hammer and the jade pendant, seeming a little hesitant.

After a long time, Liu Heiying's throat moved, he swallowed his saliva, and said suspiciously:
"Brother Yun'er, should we destroy Gu Yuan's treasure or not? How much money will it cost?"

"how could I know."

Lu Yunyi was also a little nervous. His palms were covered with a layer of sweat. He kept rubbing them, hoping to make them dry again.

There have long been rumors in the world that the treasures of the Yuan Dynasty still exist.
It was kept in the mausoleum of the Yuan Dynasty emperor and has never been discovered.

Before seeing this jade pendant, Lu Yunyi did not believe this nonsense.
Although the Yuan Dynasty promoted Chinese studies, and even the Northern Yuan Dynasty did so,

However, their burial methods mostly retained traditional customs, and they were not buried in the ground like the Han people and had a large number of human remains buried alive.

But it is simple and sloppy.

When he buried Usar Khan and the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he asked the nobles of the grassland and the general,

Whether to store some valuables for burial, after all, he was a monarch of a dynasty.

But the general suggested putting some burial objects in there, but the grassland nobles said that this was not necessary, as long as the burial place was secret enough.

In the end, Lu Yunyi still put some burial objects.
They found a beautiful place with mountains and rivers in Buyuer Lake and buried the two of them without even erecting a tombstone.

What's more, Emperor Zhaozong of the Yuan Dynasty was obsessed with Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, and for a period of time, the nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty adopted sky burials.

What they seek is the immortality of the soul, the disappearance of the body, and then reincarnation as a human being, with the sins of this life fading away like the remains of the body.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, and those grassland criminals were unable to bury themselves.
When they are about to die, they will leave the camp.

Lying on the yellow earth and waiting quietly for jackals, vultures and rats to devour its body can be considered an alternative sky burial.

All this made Lu Yunyi suspect that there might be treasures buried with the Yuan emperor in his mausoleum, but there wouldn't be too many.

Until he obtained this jade pendant.

The Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty told him personally that this was the treasure that the Yuan Dynasty would use to make a comeback.

Lu Yunyi couldn't imagine how much money and treasures could help a collapsed dynasty to make a comeback, but he thought it wouldn't be too little.

And now, this jade pendant fell into his hands.

With just a light hit of the hammer in your hand, you can discover the secret.

This made Lu Yunyi extremely nervous, even more nervous than the first time he went into battle to kill the enemy.

"Brother Yun'er, why don't you wait a little longer? It would be a shame to destroy it like this."

Lu Yunyi glanced at him with wide eyes.
Without any hesitation, he exerted force with his palm and the hammer came down with a bang!

The moment the iron hammer touched the white jade hollow pendant, it seemed as if time had stopped.

A crisp and dull "pop" sounded in the air.
It was like the sound of ice cracking in the morning dew, or the echo of weapons clashing on a battlefield.

The white jade could not withstand the heavy blow in an instant, and the hollow carvings on the surface collapsed like a fragile dream under the force of the hammer.

The fragments were scattered everywhere, like ice flakes that were suddenly broken on a winter lake, reflecting the dim candlelight in the tent, flickering a cold and short-lived light.

The white jade pendant that carried the ancient Yuan treasure was now transformed into meaningless fragments scattered all over the ground.
Liu Heiying's eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly open. One could clearly see the movement of his throat, as if he had even forgotten to breathe at this moment.

His face was filled with shock and confusion. He looked at Lu Yunyi in disbelief.
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, but also a hint of admiration.
Just smash it like that?

Lu Yunyi ignored him and looked back and forth among the fragments.

Suddenly, something unusual caught Lu Yunyi's attention, causing his breathing to quicken.

He once wondered if the Princess of Beiyuan was deceiving him, but when he actually found something in the hollow jade pendant, he still felt mixed emotions.

It was the impulsive joy and excitement of suddenly obtaining a huge treasure, as well as the regret for the trust entrusted by the Princess of Beiyuan.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi carefully pushed aside the fragments.

It was a rolled-up parchment scroll, a parchment scroll that could not be thinner, as thin as paper!
When the two saw this scene, their breathing suddenly became rapid.

Liu Heiying wanted to reach out and touch him, but Lu Yunyi was startled and quickly blocked his way and shouted coldly:
"Don't touch it. Go get two pairs of linen gloves. Be careful."

Liu Heiying was startled, then he reacted immediately, stood up and ran out.

After a while, he came back with two new pairs of linen gloves, handed one to Lu Yunyi, and said:

"Brother Yun'er, please move away, I'll drive."

Lu Yunyi looked at him and nodded slightly.

He quickly stood up and walked to the entrance of the military tent, drawing back the curtain.

Let some cold wind from outside blow into the military tent.

If it is poisonous, it can be dissipated to some extent.

Until Lu Yunyi nodded heavily,

Liu Heiying took a deep breath and gently picked up the sheepskin scroll.
Because I was wearing linen gloves, I couldn't tell whether the parchment scroll was touching or not.
But he could feel the lightness and toughness of the parchment.

He gently pulled the golden thread that bound the parchment roll.

During this process, his palms trembled slightly and there was even a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.

After a long time, the gold thread was finally pulled off, and the parchment scroll was intact.
Liu Heiying let out a sigh of relief
Then Liu Heiying took the chopsticks that had been prepared long ago from the side and gently touched the parchment scroll to unfold it little by little.

The records inside gradually came into view. It was an extremely detailed map, meticulously drawn.

Although it has gone through the ages, one can still make out some of the mountains and landforms as well as some special symbols and markings.

After doing all this, Liu Heiying breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took off the rag gloves in his hands, ran to the entrance of the military tent, and threw them out.

"How is it?" Lu Yunyi asked with a vigilant look, staring around.

"It's a map, it shouldn't be poisonous, but Brother Yun'er, be careful and don't touch it."

Listening to Liu Heiying's instructions and answers,
Lu Yunyi's face was solemn. He walked slowly to the table and leaned over to check it.

Liu Heiying also followed, and only then did he break away from his caution and be replaced by excitement.

"Brother Yun'er, where is this?" Liu Heiying's voice trembled a little.

Lu Yunyi's face gradually showed disbelief.

He stared at the map, not missing a single detail!
The map pointed to two places, exactly as the Princess of Beiyuan had described.

One part is within the Ming Dynasty, and the other part is on the grassland.

"It's Peking."

"Peking?"

Liu Heiying was trembling with excitement. Beiping was the Yuan capital, so it was natural that the treasure was hidden here.

Lu Yunyi bent over and kept moving his body, exploring the location on the map, and said thoughtfully:

"It seems... It seems to be Qingshan."

"Qingshan? Where is that? Is there such a place in Peking?" A look of doubt flashed in Liu Heiying's eyes.

Lu Yunyi looked thoughtful, and quickly walked to the bookshelf behind the military tent and took out the map of Peking.
After looking for a long time, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he tapped on the map and said:

"Yes, it is Qingshan! In the imperial city of Beiyuan,
When Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, was building Dadu, he built the Yanchun Pavilion. The earthen slope to the west was Qingshan, which was later built into a royal garden.

"Then how do we get there?" Liu Heiying's face froze.
Beiping is now the fief of Yan Wang Zhu Di, and the former Yuan Dynasty Imperial City has been sealed off.

Lu Yunyi showed something intriguing on his face. He kept rubbing his chin and finally said:
“Don’t worry about the treasures in Qingshan for now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If it doesn’t work, just sneak in secretly.

By the way, what is Zhang Yu doing recently? "

"Zhang Yu?" Liu Heiying blinked, a look of confusion on his face.
He suddenly felt that he could not keep up with Lu Yunyi's thoughts.

We were clearly talking about the treasure before, how did it become related to Zhang Yu?

But he was only slightly surprised and immediately said:
"Collect the military equipment, supervise the manufacture of weapons with Guo Quan, and prepare for the war in the northeast."

Lu Yunyi nodded: "That's good, find him something to do.
Don't forget to remind me to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions during the war, and to send someone to keep an eye on him to see how capable he is, and then make a detailed record for me."

"Okay." Liu Heiying nodded and agreed.

After finishing speaking, Lu Yunyi pulled out a grassland map from the bookshelf, spread it flat on the table, and muttered with a thoughtful look on his face:
"As for the location on the grassland, it should be here." Liu Heiying quickly came over and looked at the map.
What Lu Yunyi was referring to was the border between Beiping and Datong Prefecture, north of Xuanfu.

"Where is this?"

Liu Heiying looked at the map with doubts in his eyes.

This grassland map is a bit rough, with no specific mountains and rivers, only some important cities of the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Yunyi stood up and stroked his chin, thinking.

He was overlaying the map in front of him with the map in his memory bit by bit.

Slowly, Lu Yunyi frowned, and his expression became more and more strange.

The treasure hiding place is located at the intersection of Taihang Mountain, Yanshan Mountain and Yinshan Mountain. The terrain is complex, with undulating mountains, parallel hills, river valleys and basins distributed in a staggered manner.

More importantly, from a military perspective,

This place is where the Central Plains and the grassland meet, and it is also a huge pass.

As long as we firmly occupy this place, it will be extremely difficult for the grassland people to move south from here!

This peculiar terrain and unique geographical location,

Lu Yunyi's brows gradually frowned, and his hand gradually touched his head, scratching it gently.

This place seems familiar.

Lu Yunyi's eyes flickered. In order to confirm his guess, he quickly ordered:
"Send someone to the Central Army to ask the Military Affairs Office for a more detailed map of the grassland. We need the most detailed one, including Daningdusi, Xuanfu, Datong, and Beiping."

"Okay, I'll go in person."

Liu Heiying suppressed his excitement and rushed out.

Lu Yunyi was rummaging through the bookshelf behind him.
After a while, he found more than ten maps and compared them with each other.

The thought in his mind became stronger and stronger.

It was not until he found the administrative divisions of the Yuan Dynasty that the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

The areas recorded on the map were under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat during the Yuan Dynasty.

They are divided into Xinghe Road, Longqing Prefecture of Dadu Road, Hongzhou of Datong Road, Shunning Prefecture of Shangdu Road, Bao'an Prefecture, Yunzhou, and Weizhou.

It was an important area directly governed by the Yuan court, and its status was almost unmatched.

Suddenly, Lu Yunyi's eyes narrowed, and he found a geomancy map that recorded the topography of the Yuan Dynasty.
This is where Yuanzhongdu is located!
It was a temporary palace built by Emperor Wuzong of the Yuan Dynasty, Borjigin Haishan, and was one of the four capitals of the Yuan Dynasty.

At this point, its geographical location and political status are unparalleled, and the location of this place is obvious.

Zhangjiakou!
At this time, Liu Heiying ran back panting with two long and narrow maps in his hands, handed them over and said:

"This was painted in the third year of Hongwu, and this was painted in the eighteenth year of Hongwu. They were taken from the camp of the general.

By the way, the general also asked me to tell Brother Yuner to focus on his marriage and put aside military matters."

Lu Yunyi ignored it and unfolded the map.

He saw the military formation outside Xuanhua and the long and narrow pass at a glance.

You can even see the elevation of the terrain on this map.

As well as several key nodes where the army will be stationed, including city walls, forts, and beacon towers.

At this point, Lu Yunyi no longer had any doubts in his mind, this place was Zhangjiakou!
But today, Zhangjiakou is not Zhangjiakou yet, it is just a military stronghold.

Seeing his expression change from solemn to relaxed, and finally to relieved, Liu Heiying asked hesitantly:

"Brother Yun'er has been found?"

Lu Yunyi nodded solemnly and let out a long sigh:

"Found it. It's at the border of Xuanfu Datong and Beiping. It's a military stronghold."

Liu Heiying's face suddenly fell:

"Ah, then doesn't that mean we can't dig it either?"

Lu Yunyi was in a very good mood after learning the two locations. He glanced at him calmly:
"Would you bury your treasure in an obscure dirt pit?"

Liu Heiying blinked blankly, then shook his head after a little thought:
"of course not."

"That's it. Gu Yuan's treasure is not in a dirt pit, but in a place of extraordinary significance.

These two places, one is the political core of the old Yuan Dynasty, and the other is the military core of the old Yuan Dynasty. They are both top-notch places, so they should be placed here.”

Lu Yunyi said lightly, and seeing that Liu Heiying still had some regret on his face, he smiled and said:
"Don't worry, as long as we want to dig it out, we have the means to do so. We can wait until the war in the Northeast is over before we decide. Let's focus on the present first."

"it is good!!"

Lu Yunyi walked to one side.
There were some white jade fragments and parchment on the table. He looked at Liu Heiying and asked:

"Did you write down the map?"

Liu Heiying blinked blankly and then nodded: "I'll remember it."

"Burn the map."

"it is good."

Liu Heiying put on his linen gloves without any hesitation.

Take the sheepskin map and walk to the candle flame, slowly lighting it.
Both of them knew that the real secret could only be kept in the mind and could not be left in writing.

Soon, the flames flickered, illuminating Liu Heiying's resolute face.
The sheepskin map gradually curled up and charred in the flames, and finally turned into ashes.
Every falling piece of ash is like a farewell to the past, taking away all traces and clues.

The air was filled with a faint smell of smoke, intertwined with the tense and solemn atmosphere.
After doing all this, Lu Yunyi felt relieved and said in a deep voice:

"Dispose of these white jade fragments without leaving any trace."

"it is good."

“Has the jade craftsman been found?”

Liu Heiying, who was carefully cleaning the white jade residue, paused and sighed softly:

“There are some jade craftsmen in Gyeongju, but their craftsmanship is too crude.
It is impossible to create a jade pendant that is exactly the same.

So I wanted my dad to go to Beijing to look for it.
The hollowing technique on the white jade pendant is unique to Yuan Dadu, and we should be able to find craftsmen of the same lineage in Beiping, so that they can be indistinguishable from the real thing."

Lu Yunyi nodded with admiration on his face. He never doubted Liu Heying's ability to get things done.

"We must be careful to keep it secret and not let anyone find out. This concerns our lives and property."

Liu Heiying was lying on the ground, carefully searching for the white jade residue. Hearing this, he smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Yun'er. Even if something was leaked, it was me who did it. It has nothing to do with you."

Lu Yunyi walked around the military tent with a teacup in his hand, sorting out his thoughts and looking for possible omissions.

"Don't say these unlucky things. As long as we are careful and cautious, there will be no problem.

The treasures in these two places are enough for our descendants to spend for generations to come, so we can't die easily."

Liu Heiying smiled, with a simple and honest look on his face:

"Of course. This time I'm going to the Northeast to fight, and I can finally let go. I'm too uncomfortable in this large army, and I have to be very careful to make achievements."

"Hahaha, Black Hawk, we have already taken the most critical step.
From now on, we can enjoy the high sky and wide sea as much as we want, and there is a lot to be done in this vast world."

Lu Yunyi sighed:
"For this reward, let's first make it a hereditary position, so that the family members don't have to worry about the future, and your father can be happy too."

"Brother Yun'er, my father is so happy at home that he can't stop smiling. He said that he will go to Peking in person next time he goes out to do business and tell his friends at home about our achievements."

"That's great. They are old now and they are all happy. Don't forget to bring some grassland specialties."

"Do not worry."
