"oh?"

Wu Liang suddenly wanted to laugh for no reason, but he could only pretend to be surprised and said, "Liu Pengzu actually fooled himself like this. He is even more cunning and cunning than what is recorded in the history books."

In fact, he didn't think Liu Pengzu had much intention of fooling him.

After all, there is another reason why thick burials were popular during the Western Han Dynasty. It is because people believe that people will not be distraught after death. Wearing jade clothes can also ensure that the bones will not rot or deteriorate, and the essence will not be released. As long as it can ensure

If the corpse's bones don't rot and the essence doesn't dissipate, there will eventually be a chance to be resurrected from the dead.

In this way, the property and treasures buried in the tomb can not only be enjoyed by oneself after death, but also can be enjoyed by oneself one day after death.

Therefore, no matter what kind of person Liu Pengzu was during his lifetime, he would definitely not fool himself on this matter. This would not do him any good.

Moreover, the mausoleum does not have any need to flatter itself. Is it possible that Liu Pengzu still plans to invite others to visit it after his death?

so.

Wu Liang had reason to suspect that there was another hidden secret behind this situation, and it was most likely that someone had changed the package during the burial.

After all, Liu Pengzu would only be buried in the mausoleum after his death, and he even hid it from his own family, so he had to entrust the most trusted person to take care of his affairs after his death.

In this case, no one can supervise the person he entrusted, so it is not easy to change the contract, and there is not even a trace of risk...unless Liu Pengzu fakes the corpse on the spot.

However, this person did not accomplish anything.

At any rate, they only replaced the gold inside the couch, and judging from the situation in the tomb, Liu Pengzu's will should have been followed in most aspects. Otherwise, it is probably unknown whether Liu Pengzu could be buried in peace.

"But even so, the real gold seems to be at least several thousand kilograms."

Zhang Fei then said with some rejoicing, "Although the bronze is far inferior to the gold before, it is good in weight and looks good. It is still of some use. At least it can be exchanged for some food, wages and weapons, so it is not a waste of time.

"

This statement is in line with the current situation of Zhang Fei and others.

If it were Wu Liang, he would definitely only take gold instead of bronze. In his eyes, that thing has no value for money. The wasted manpower and the increased risks along the way would be more than worth the gain for him.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang are now in a state where they can't even afford to eat. Although not all of them are gold, which makes them a little disappointed, bronze is also a strategic material in this era, and it is better than getting nothing... not to mention them.

There are only a few hundred people now, and this batch of bronze alone can support them for a while.

"What the third brother said is very true. Everything should be looked at in a good direction. At least this batch of gold and bronze can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need. The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother can stabilize the situation first and make long-term plans."

Wu Liang nodded and smiled.

But I was still thinking in my heart, if he, the "little man", had not come this time, and Liu Bei, the "bad guy", had not entered the mausoleum, would such an accident have happened?

"By the way, fourth brother, the eldest brother asked you to come over. He said he has something important to discuss with you."

Zhang Fei continued:

"What a coincidence, I happen to have something to explain to my eldest brother. Please wait a moment, my third brother."

Wu Liang saluted Zhang Fei, then turned back to the camp, stuffed the sketch of the "Bagua Transformation Mirror" he had drawn in advance into his arms, then took Dian Wei out with him, and followed Zhang Fei to find Liu Bei.

…

When meeting Liu Bei.

Beside Liu Bei were placed a dozen gold bricks stacked together.

These gold bricks were all taken from tombs. Each piece is five inches long, three inches wide, and almost three inches tall. Based on the high density of gold, Wu Liang can tell just by looking at it.

Each of these gold bricks must weigh dozens of kilograms.

The weight of one liter of water is 1 kilogram.

The density of gold is 19.3 times that of water, that is, the same volume of gold should weigh 19.3 kilograms, which is 40 kilograms less.

The size of the gold brick that Wu Liang saw now was obviously not just one liter in volume.

Wu Liangliang secretly calculated that if a dozen of these gold bricks were added together, they would probably weigh several hundred or nearly a thousand kilograms.

"Fourth brother, Brother Yu knows very well that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring of water."

Seeing Wu Liang approaching, Liu Bei came up to him and said with a smile, "This time, I first got your food to get through the difficulties, and then I got your help to find this tomb. I successfully found the treasure in the tomb. I remember all this."

In my heart, it’s just that now I really have nothing to express my gratitude to you, I can only use these golds to represent my thoughts.”

"No! You absolutely must not, brother!"

Wu Liang was flattered and said quickly, "That little grain is not worth so much gold, and I agreed to help my elder brother before because of my fate with him. If I take his gold, our friendship will change. Please

Brother must take back his life."

"Since the fourth brother said so, I will come and settle the account for the fourth brother."

Liu Bei said solemnly, "If I hadn't obtained the food from my fourth brother in that valley before, my people might not have been able to hold on for a few days and someone would have starved to death. Even if they didn't starve to death, the mutiny would have happened in advance. It was inevitable."

If some people died in the mutiny, how should my fourth brother calculate the lives of these people?"

"Also, when my people mutinied before, it was my fourth brother who noticed it in advance and sent someone to Zilong's Mansion to report the news, which made Zilong leave the city in time to gather these people. Does the fourth brother know that it is possible to recruit troops these days?

How difficult it is, how should fourth brother calculate these manpower?"

"And this search for the tomb and the exploration of the tomb can only be completed successfully with the help of the fourth brother. Otherwise, Brother Yu may have missed this batch of treasures, and the following days will be even more difficult. Maybe it will be over in a few days."

We can only be forced to disband, so how can we still have the courage and qualifications to talk about the ideals of helping the Han Dynasty? It is my fourth brother who has protected my courage and qualifications to realize my ideals. How should my fourth brother calculate my ideals?"

"More..."

Liu Bei seemed to have a lot more to say, and what he said was so emotional.

"Brother."

Wu Liang interrupted him in time, looked at him who was deeply poisoned, and said with a smile, "Although many things have cause and effect, they cannot be generalized. If the eldest brother insists on thanking me, then I will take two gold bricks, and that will be enough."

It is enough to offset my two carts of food and the help I provided to my eldest brother. It is also enough to help me and my brothers and sisters in the caravan live a prosperous life. In addition, my eldest brother is someone who wants to do big things, and this gold is too much for me.

It’s a lot, but it’s far from enough for the eldest brother. The eldest brother should still think about it in the long term.”

"Fourth brother is right. Since that's the case, I won't insist on it anymore."

Liu Bei nodded helplessly, and then asked, "The fourth brother is a capable person. In my opinion, the fourth brother's business is really a disgrace to his ability. I just don't know what the fourth brother's plans are in the future."

?”

"..."

Upon hearing the word "plan", Wu Liang immediately understood Liu Bei's intention to express his good intentions.

Liu Bei may not have been sincere in giving him the gold, but he must have been sincere in recruiting him to join him. In this way, he gained both wealth and people. There is simply nothing more cost-effective than this.

And this should also be Liu Bei's last effort.

He knew that after finishing this matter, it would be time to say goodbye soon, so he decided to make such a gesture before trying to win over Wu Liang.

But how could Liu Bei know?

If Wu Liang, a "villain", really decided to follow him and get along with him day and night, he would most likely receive a lunch box inexplicably due to an accident within a few days. This would definitely not be a good thing for him.

certainly.

Wu Liang didn't follow his idea at all. He was living so comfortably with Boss Cao now, and he didn't have to worry about the war at all. He could just focus on running his own business, so why bother to change to another place where he didn't even have a place to live?

The boss is asking for trouble?

So Wu Liang pondered for a while and said to Liu Bei with a smile: "Brother, what you said is wrong. There is nothing wrong with being a businessman. Although it is indeed a bit hard to travel around, it is better to be well-informed and be able to avoid war in time. In today's world

In fact, it is a good way to survive in troubled times. My eldest brother is unaware of this. My brothers in the caravan and I are war-weary people. As long as we can avoid war, we are willing to do anything... In addition, I actually help my eldest brother.

There was also some selfishness mixed in.”

This was tantamount to another polite rejection of Liu Bei.

They are war-weary people, while Liu Bei is an ambitious man who is bound to start a war. The two sides are not on the same page at all, and they have different paths and cannot conspire against each other.

"Oh? What are the selfish motives of the fourth brother? Let me tell you about it?"

Liu Bei understood what Wu Liang meant, and instead of saying what he wanted to say, he followed his words and asked.

"Brother, do you still remember what you promised me personally before?"

Wu Liang said with a smile, "Big brother said that if he gains power one day, he will arrange a good place with beautiful scenery for us, and teach me how to live a good life without worrying about food and clothing, and not being bullied by others. I am waiting for big brother."

Good news. When Big Brother succeeds, if I get the news, I will take these brothers and sisters to join Big Brother. When the time comes, Big Brother must not forget about Little Brother."

"Hahahaha, whatever my fourth brother said, even if I forget something, I will definitely not forget my fourth brother's kindness."

Liu Bei started laughing.

He is a smart man and has completely given up the idea of ​​winning over Wu Liang, because Wu Liang not only implicitly stated that the two parties are not the same person, but also expressed his intention to say goodbye. Otherwise, how could he say that he would go back when he succeeds?

Surrender to him?

At this point, if he insists again and again, he will be more or less ignorant.

"Don't worry, fourth brother. Even if the eldest brother accidentally forgets you, the second brother and I will still remember you. When the time comes, we will be there to remind the eldest brother and help him remember you, hahaha."

Zhang Fei was also laughing from the side.

I don't know if he understood the meaning of the two people's words, but it can be seen that Zhang Fei quite agrees with Wu Liang, the fourth brother who has only recently gotten married.

"..."
