In the early morning, the soldiers of the mission began to cook. A soldier came to Cui Dunli's tent with a basin and called softly: "Cui Dunli, the meal is almost ready. Get up and wash up."

The soldier waited for a while and saw that there was no movement inside. So he raised his voice a little more, "Cui Shilang, Cui Shilang." Still no response.

The soldier opened the curtain and looked inside, only to see that it was empty. The soldier quickly asked the guard Cui Dunli if he had gone out. After getting a negative answer, the soldiers hurried to Yeluqi's tent.

"The general is in trouble, Cui Shilang is missing."

As a general, you still have the privilege of washing up in the morning. I'm wiping my face right now. He was stunned after hearing what the soldier said. Asked: "Who did you say is missing?"

"Servant Cui is missing," the soldier repeated again.

Bang, Yeluqi threw the cloth in his hand into the basin and strode towards Cui Dunli's tent. After walking into Cui Dunli's tent, it was indeed empty.

"Have you been guarding here all this time? Has Cui Shilang ever gone out?" Yeluqi asked the guard.

"Back to the general, our shift changed at Yinshi, and Cui Shilang has not come out yet. We have been staying here and never left." The guard was a little scared.

A minister of the Ministry of War disappeared under their guard, and he must be implicated.

At this time, Qibi Heli also heard the sound and rushed over to ask about the situation and followed Yeluqi into the camp again.

The two checked carefully in the tent. There was no blood or signs of fighting in the tent. If the fight could definitely be heard outside, he noticed signs of dragging on the grass on the ground. Moreover, the animal skin used for sleeping was missing. The two guessed that the blood stains were all on the animal skin, so they disappeared together.

The two followed the traces to the back of the tent and found signs of tampering in the soil. I followed the traces all the way to the outside of the camp and found that the grass was downturned in many places in three places around the camp.

This shows that there are many people on the other side, but the reason why they did not touch others is probably because they are targeting Cui Dunli. The two looked at each other and felt that things were not simple. Dare to assassinate the Cui family's Minister of War, which is not something ordinary people can do.

"I ordered that no one should spread the word about this matter. I will report it to the general when I go back. Anyone who spreads the word will be dealt with by military law. The few officials from the Ministry of War who followed told them that they might have been attacked by wild beasts. They believed it or not, and the rest was left to them. Let the general decide," Yeluqi ordered.

Qibi Heli, who was next to him, did not speak. He knew that as a foreigner, it was best not to get involved in their intrigues, so that he could live longer.

--------------------

The autumn air in Chang'an in October is crisp and cool, and the autumn wind blows away the heat of summer.

The court had been quarreling every day in the past few days as they discussed how to deal with the officials involved in Li Shen's assassination. Some people think that he should be killed, some think that he should be given a lighter sentence, and two public officials even spoke out in order to lick the family. Li Shimin, who was outraged, dismissed his official position on the spot, and was exiled to Lingnan with his family.

Now the courtiers all knew that Li Shimin was really angry. So there's another wave of people who don't have an opinion.

The east and west cities were also very lively these two days due to the cool weather, and there were particularly many people in the two cities.

A new store opened in East Market today. Originally, there was nothing strange about the opening of a new store, but there was something wrong with this store.

The store's name is Jixiang Ruyi and it was opened by a businessman from Tianzhu. There are many runes hanging outside.

Many people walked into the store out of curiosity to see what it was selling. The store was decorated in the style of the Western Regions. When people walked in, they were greeted by the exotic atmosphere. There were also two beautiful beauties from the Western Regions serving as handymen. , that is, the waiter.

Seeing so many people coming in, a Tianzhu man also came up to them and said to them in not very fluent Chinese: "Distinguished guests, I am the shopkeeper of Jixiang Ruyi. Welcome everyone."

"Shopkeeper, you don't emit anything here. What are you selling?" Someone asked curiously at this time

"Dear guests, we at Jixiang Ruyi only sell one product," said the Tianzhu merchant and asked someone to open a small box, which contained a dozen crystal clear beads. Buddha bead size.

"This is an auspicious wish-fulfilling bead that I brought from Tianzhu. This bead was dug out of our holy river.

These are the divine beads left by our supreme god Shiva in the world. There are one hundred and eight thousand beads in total. Wearing beads will bring good luck to people, reduce diseases, and seek good luck and avoid misfortunes. The more you have, the better. The greater the effect. "

The Tianzhu merchant picked up one and let everyone take a closer look, and found that there was a small hole in the middle. The Tianzhu merchant explained: “This is the small hole left by stringing together when our supreme god wore it.

Moreover, this bead contains the remaining divine power of Lord Shiva. Whoever possesses it will be blessed by the god and will continue to bless him and their family for thousands of years of prosperity. "

What the merchants from Tianzhu said was miraculous, but not many people believed it. Someone asked curiously: "How do you sell these beads?"

"My beads only sell gold, and I don't want your copper coins. I want to go back with the gold and build a big golden body for our supreme god.

This is an oracle given to us by our Most High God and we must fulfill it. Otherwise we would not sell these divine beads.

Just because we don't have enough gold in Tianzhu, God gave us an oracle and allowed us to sell these divine beads to all parts of the world.

When we finish building a golden body for God, we will come back and use our treasures to buy back all the divine beads. Things belonging to the Most High God cannot be left outside forever. This is blasphemy against God. "The Tianzhu businessman said in this broken Chinese.

"Why buy it with gold? I don't have it."

"Gold is also a scarce commodity in our Tang Dynasty."

"Then tell me how much gold you can sell this bead for."

The Tianzhu merchant raised a finger and said: "One pound of gold and one bead." During this period, one tael of gold could be exchanged for about 16 to 100 copper coins. But few people take it out to replace it. One pound is [-] taels. That is more than [-] Guanqian per bead.

This price is beyond the reach of these ordinary people. Even ordinary businessmen will not spend more than 100 yuan to buy an unknown bead.

"This is too expensive." Someone said

"It doesn't matter, our divine beads will naturally meet the destined person. If you are not destined to buy it, you will lose it." The Tianzhu merchant said with a smile.

Although no one bought it, the news spread. Soon the east and west cities knew the news. Then, in some restaurants and teahouses in Chang'an City, someone started talking about Tianzhu merchants selling divine beads in exchange for gold.

The next day, a piece of news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an. Yesterday evening, Wang Hongfu, the chief shopkeeper of Boutique Pavilion, secretly went to Jixiang Ruyi, and he brought a big box with him. Not long after Wang Hongfu entered, he picked up Jixiang Ruyi. He walked out with a box, got on the carriage and went straight to Prince Ji's Mansion.

This news instantly attracted the attention of some people.
