"What do you mean is that the top priority now is to find the crown?" Zhang Yicheng heard some clues, "I know a few great people who know archaeology, and can help you find it..." When talking about treasure hunting, Zhang Yicheng immediately remembered Qin Ge. I believe that the old man should be interested in this kind of thing.

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's best for ordinary people to go in that place!" Tong Guohu said, "I already have a evil spirit, so I won't attract other things, but if it's changed to someone else, I'm afraid there will be danger!"

"You mean... you have found a place? And there are other things inside?" Zhang Yicheng was stunned, "Yes? How many are there?"

"A year ago, I determined a place..." Tong Guohu didn't seem to want to continue the topic of "other things". "Judged from the traces outside, 100% is the place where the Taiping Army treasures were hidden, but I didn't go in at that time..."

"Because I didn't go in? Just because there was something else?" Zhang Yicheng was puzzled, "What if someone has taken the crown away during this year?"

"I have already said that there are evil spirits on me, and those things should not pose a threat to me. But at that time I thought, since I had not found a true immortal, would it be useful even if I got the crown? That crown should be a national treasure. If I had taken it at that time, it would be troublesome to carry it with me..." Tong Guohu seemed to be disdainful of answering the question of whether anyone else had been in. He just took out a stamp album from the cane suitcase and opened it. He saw a letter clip. From the degree of fading of the paper, it should be a long time. The content of the letter is as follows:

Brother Yuanfu cried:

Yesterday, I received the letter from my brother and all the rumors in the court were pointed out. I had no way to argue, so I only cried and told him. The beginning of the doubts was actually a false news, so I hope my brother should not believe it lightly.

Since receiving the saint's order, I have been able to summon the Rikkan of the country, so I led the soldiers of the three armies to fight bloody battles, and I have no regrets to fight Hong Ni's death. However, I heard the false rumors and covered up my merits with sin. How can I comfort the tens of thousands of soldiers in the sky?

Since the repression of the thief's nest, Hong Ni's rebellion and chaos have caused trouble. It is indeed my dereliction of duty, but the fierce attacks on the city and the stubbornness of the thief's rebellion exceed our expectations, so that it is ineffective and cannot be controlled.

The thief rebelled first and the rumors were rumored that gold and silver were like mountains of treasurys. Only more than 40,000 taels of silver were investigated, which was not enough to cover the food and wages of the three armies. Which kiln could be restored to the sage?

On the 21st, Li Chendian was sent to pursue the rebels in Chenggu, killing more than a hundred thieves, capturing the thief general Li Xiucheng, and Xing was all the Yuzhen of Hong Ni. He had arrived in secret a few months ago. We had already sent our confidant men to Yunnan to investigate according to the words given by Li Xiucheng. The thief general Li Xiucheng has now been escorted to the capital. If there is any rumors but does not believe it, you can examine it yourself.

June 29, 3rd year of Tongzhi

Probably said:

Yesterday I received a letter from you, Brother (referring to Zeng Guofan) and learned that there were some rumors in the court (for me). Brother, I couldn’t tell you all over, so I could only cry to you. In fact, those are all rumors. I hope Brother will not believe it.

Since I was ordered to fight against rebellion until today, my brother's heart for serving the country can be seen in the sun. I led my brothers to fight day and night, and looked at death in order to kill Hong Xiuquan. However, those rumors actually called our army's achievements a crime. (This is called me) how to comfort the spirit of the 100,000 (deadly sacrificing the country) of soldiers in heaven?

Since conquering the thief's nest, the remnants of the (Taiping Heavenly Kingdom) have been in chaos everywhere. This is indeed my negligence, but when the city was siege, the fierceness of the battle and the tenacious resistance of the thief far exceeded our expectations, so that after the siege, it was impossible to implement effective control (as planned on the order in the city).

When we just recovered Jiangning (called Jiangning in Nanjing), we only seized more than 40,000 taels of silver from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Holy Custody, which was so magical that it was as magical as gold and silver. This amount of money was not enough to compensate the army (expended during the siege of the city). How could there be kiln gold to hand over to the court?

On the 21st, (I) sent General Li Chendian to pursue and suppress the rebels outside the city, killed more than a hundred rebels and captured the enemy general Li Xiucheng alive. After a sudden trial of Li Xiucheng, he learned that the remaining treasures of the rebels had been secretly transported to Yunnan a few months ago. I also sent my confidant members to Yunnan to investigate according to the clues provided by Li Xiucheng. Now Li Xiucheng is already on the way to escort into Beijing. If anyone only believes in rumors but does not believe (my) heartfelt words, they can ask them to interrogate themselves.

"Who is Yuanfu?" Zhang Yicheng asked.

"It is the number one hero who conquered Tianjing and wiped out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The head coach of the Hunan Army Zeng Guoquan! This letter was written by him to his brother Zeng Guofan!" Tong Guohu said, "It is like this. People who do not do anything will not make meritorious service, but they will not make mistakes. But if anyone has made some achievements, no matter how careful they are, some irrelevant people will jump out to pick on the nitpicking, and Zeng Guoquan is the victim!" Tong Guohu took off his glasses and rubbed the bones of his nose with his fingers. "Zeng Guoquan is known for his insatiable and cruelty in the court, but this time, he was really wronged..."

According to legend, Zeng Guoquan was famous for his ruthlessness in war. As long as he was defeated and captured or surrendered, he would be killed without hesitation. After attacking the city, he also accused the soldiers of entering the city to make trouble. In 1861, Zeng Guoquan captured Anqing and killed Chen Yucheng, a front-line general under Hong Xiuquan. At the same time, he also asked for the more than 16,000 Taiping soldiers who surrendered, and thus obtained the nickname of "barber". After that, Anqing City was looted for three days, but there was no "kiln gold" to be handed over to the court. After capturing Tianjing, Zeng Guoquan first burned and killed and looted, and then seized the holy warehouse of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but still did not pay the money to the court.

It is understandable to say that there is not much money to grab in Anqing's small place that is not painful or itchy, but it is a bit of a problem to say that it is not money to capture Tianjing. According to the financial system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, "everyone in the world is not selfish, and everything belongs to the Lord", nearly half of China's wealth will basically be concentrated in Tianjing, and this kind of concentration is absolutely concentrated, that is, how much money your family has, I will pay for you, and I will pay the food to support you, rather than paying it in percentage terms similar to taxes. At present, the Qing Dynasty was signing agreements everywhere to send money and provide benefits worldwide. Good food, drink and weapons are provided for you to defeat Tianjing, and you don't have a penny.

Isn't it a question of slashing it? So much so that rumors spread all over the government and the country, accusing Zeng Guoquan of slaughtering the city and embezzling profits. Even his brother Zeng Guofan, who was powerful in the court, could not suppress it. This letter was a letter of injustice that Zeng Guoquan cursed and sweared to his brother. According to Tong Guohu's analysis, the same content, if it were official documents, the credibility would be very low. The documents in the officialdom were nothing more than writing a few polite words and polite words to find some objective reasons to be perfunctory. But if it was a family letter, the credibility would be very high. No matter how greedy Zeng Guoquan was, there was no need to lie to his brother who supported him everywhere.

"The treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are in Yunnan? Where is Du Wenxiu?" Zhang Yicheng frowned, "Are you sure Wang Guan and those treasures are together?"

"It's not 100% certainty. But the probability is very high..." Tong Guohu said, "Hong Xiuquan's crown is made of pure gold, weighing nine jin and five liang, representing the 95th lord, and has more than 3,000 various gems embedded in it. Apart from the formations in the crown, the crown itself is also a priceless treasure! After the capital of Tianjing, the upper class of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was extremely extravagant and wanted to spend money like soil. It is said that their holy warehouse had been squandered several years before the city was broken, but I think no matter how much Hong Xiuquan squan spends, it is impossible to get the crown to be pawnshop! So, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, the crown is the most likely to remain in the world! 186

After the fall of Suzhou in three years, in addition to Du Wenxiu in Yunnan, there is no other reliable base for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to hide treasures. And Tianjing has been surrounded for a long time, so it is impossible to transport too many things out with great fanfare. Those who can be smuggled to Yunnan must be small treasures that Hong Xiuquan had in the box, which may include the crown! I have been searching in Yunnan for a long time, and it was not until last year that they confirmed the place where they treasured. The entrance was actually on the cliff. It was impossible for a large sum of gold and silver to find such a tricky place to hide treasures. I believe it is not an ordinary treasure, and that crown is very likely to be in it!"

According to Tong Guohu, since Yuan Shao left without saying goodbye, he spent a considerable period of time looking for clues to these financial reports in Yunnan, and lived in a cave and dived in water, and even climbed a thousand-foot cliff without any protection measures.

"Then how do you want me to help you, and how do you want me?" Zhang Yicheng frowned, "My classmate is writing in the middle of the night now, and now the college entrance examination is about to be in full swing..."

"How to help you... I haven't thought about it yet..." Tong Guohu curled his lips and shook his head, "But since the 'Yueye syndrome' on his body arose due to the Mao array, there is one thing that can be confirmed. From now on, a thousand years ago, except for me, there should be only one kind of person who has been in contact with the Mao array!"

"What do you mean is that my classmate is related to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? It is very likely that someone in the Taiping Army was reincarnated?" Zhang Yicheng was stunned, "Damn, that grandson could not be the reincarnation of Hong Xiuquan, right? There are many words on Wuzhuo Novel Network."

"That's hard to say!" Tong Guohu laughed, "But don't worry, as long as you help me, I will definitely do my best to help you! No matter whether my ability allows it or not!" It seems that Zhang Yicheng was ambushing the sentence "ability allows" and Tong Guohu had long heard it, "And, I will help you, not only this matter. I will help you unconditionally in any difficulties you encounter in the future!"

"Oh? Take this seriously!" After hearing Tong Guohu say this, Zhang Yicheng's heart moved. This is Yuan Shaoyi's disciple. Maybe he tied his father and the old man and threw him in front of him for nothing. If there is such a master on call, would he worry about anything else if he encounters something in the future?

"A gentleman's words are as good as a horse!" Tong Guohu looked serious, "But we have something to say first. I have just said that I can give you my savings, favors and savings, you can only choose one of them!"

"Of course it's a favor. Didn't I say that, Zhang Yicheng, the most jealous person in my life! I will help you with your help!" Referring to the current dilapidated house, Zhang Yicheng basically doesn't consider savings... "Brother Tong, finally ask you a question..." Zhang Yicheng became more scrupulous, "If you really find that crown and the things on your body are also abandoned, what are you going to deal with that crown?"

"Where to get it from, and then put it back..." When answering this question, Tong Guohu basically did not think about it. "I have already thought about this question. That thing is not only a crown, but also a dangerous tool! I don't want that kind of thing to appear in the world!"

"In this case...will we go to Yunnan?"

"We?" Tong Guohu was stunned, "It's not us, it's me!"

"You?" Zhang Yicheng was also a little surprised. He thought that this guy wanted to fool him into searching for treasures together, but he didn't expect that the brother didn't want to take him to play at all, "You go by yourself?"

"Of course it's me!" Tong Guohu smiled, "I will figure out the secret of the crown as soon as possible and how to use it, and then bring the crown to you and remove the things on me!"

"Brother Tong, you said just now that this matter is dangerous. I thought you wanted me to accompany you..." Zhang Yicheng frowned, "Since you are going by yourself, can I be dangerous?"

"Your danger is that I need to temporarily lead the immortals on you to me..." Tong Guohu said, "In some ways, immortals and evil people say differently, and they say the same. They are not willing to be manipulated by others. He is unwilling to leave you. I force him to leave with a magic weapon. Are you dangerous? "

"You mean, if you make the immortal angry, you will also harm people?" Zhang Yicheng seemed a little disbelief.

"To be honest, as for what happens if I get angry with Xian, I don't know. No one has tried it..." Tong Guohu shook his head and said, "So I said there may be risks, but I didn't say there will be certainly."

"You go to Yunnan first, take the crown back to Tianjin, and then put the things back after finishing the work..." Zhang Yicheng muttered to himself, "Forget it, Brother Tong, although I am a junior, I am also a manly man. As the saying goes, good people do it to the end, send Buddha to heaven. Since I have agreed to help you, then help you to the end. You have been waiting for more than ten years, don't care how many more days you have to wait? Wuzhuo Novel Network has many words waiting for me to accompany you after the exam, so that you can save you from both sides of the trouble..." To be honest, at this moment, Zhang Yicheng also felt a little passionate.

First of all, Tong Guohu is the apprentice of his mother's savior. He can also travel by helping him with something and reason. Besides, this person seems to be quite gentlemanly. After all, he is a disciple from Yuan Shao to adjust his name. He can be unmoved by the national treasure in order to maintain world peace and has a noble personality. The most important thing is that he is wearing an invincible Buff1 on his body, plus a new Japanese sword. This is a rare opportunity for the live-action version of Invincible Concord 2. If he doesn't try it at this time, when will he wait?...

"I appreciate your kindness..." Tong Guohu laughed and refused Zhang Yicheng without hesitation. "You are too young. Although you are protected by the True Immortal, the True Immortal is probably a newbie. I have never practiced much. If you make any mistakes, I can't explain to your family!"

"Immortal, Is it a newbie and veteran?" Zhang Yicheng was also stunned when he heard Tong Guohu say this.

"Of course!" Tong Guohu nodded, as if he was joking, "The resentment of Xin Chong's body is easy to deal with, but if he stays on his body for a long time, it will be difficult to deal with. The same is true for immortals, and they also need to have a process of cultivation. The immortals on your body are not clear and green, and they are obviously a novice. If you take such immortals to risk their lives, you may lose your wife and your soldiers..."

"Then how can I let him practice?" This was the first time Zhang Yicheng heard that immortals also need to practice, and it was quite fresh for a while.

"You don't have to do it. Over time, you will be able to achieve success. If you want him to practice quickly, you must practice yourself!" Tong Guohu said, "If you recite scriptures and listen to the Dharma, he will practice quickly. If you seek to have fun, he will practice slowly!"

"Recite the scriptures... Forget it, just slower it down..." As soon as you heard the scriptures, Zhang Yicheng's head immediately widened three times, "By the way, Brother Tong, can I tell my dad what you said today?"

"That's a must!" Tong Guohu's face looked a little solemn, "If your father doesn't agree to your risk, I will think of another way..."
