Chapter 2465 A Little Friction (3rd Update)
Although the golden pages were slightly blackened by the fire and looked dirty and unsightly, Ye Tianlong knew that they were just burning objects stuck on them.
He picked up the soft gold piece and wiped it gently with a paper towel. Soon, the gold piece looked brand new.
"What is this?"
Zhao Wenguang showed a hint of surprise: "How come there are gold pieces in this book?"
He could tell it was gold.
Ye Tianlong didn't respond. He just put the gold piece in his palm and looked at it with the flashlight of his mobile phone. These were indeed pages made of gold.
There are also patterns and text on it.
Ye Tianlong speculated that before the golden pages were burned, they should have been forged into ordinary book pages and then inserted into a 1,600-page book.
The golden pages are difficult to discover without carefully looking through them or burning them.
Ye Tianlong smiled: "This may be the hard work left by Songchai to me."
Zhao Wenguang joked: "Killing Somchai, paying homage to him, burning a book for him, and paying him a page of gold for his hard work, wouldn't it be too stingy?"
"Besides, you have to spend a lot of time to hide a page of gold inside and eat enough to sustain yourself?"
He could see the workmanship of the golden pages, and he was afraid that the caster's salary would be more expensive than the gold itself.
"Of course it's not because I'm full."
Ye Tianlong touched it carefully with his fingers: "There are words and maps on it. I'm afraid this thing contains secrets..."
Zhao Wenguang's eyes lit up: "Could it be the eighteen jade mines that Hao Beast said that Songchai has never explained?"
"Let's go and talk about it when we get back."
Ye Tianlong tilted his head slightly: "Let's see if this is hard work or a huge gift..."
Zhao Wenguang turned to look at the tombstone and laughed loudly: "Babu, if it's really a big gift, I'll cover all the flowers for the Qingming Festival in the future."
Ye Tianlong laughed loudly, then threw the gold piece to Zhao Wenguang and went down the mountain...
The next morning, the sun shone brightly at White Horse Temple. Cuiguo, which had been raining for half a month, finally had warm sunshine.
Ye Tianlong, who came out of Bai Chadi's monastery and ordered a plate of high-end pastries, walked towards the bell-ringing pavilion while eating.
The new situation after the establishment of the Cui Kingdom, as well as the policies and measures introduced by Ye Tianlong, completely won the support and friendship of Emperor Bai Cha.
This also means that Cuiguo has regained stability.
It's just that Emperor Bai Cha refused to give up and tried every means to make Ye Tianlong a monk. He also said that he could be the abbot of the White Horse Temple as long as he needed it.
Thinking of becoming a host, the dream of forty wives was overturned, and Ye Tianlong crawled away from the Zen room.
When Ye Tianlong came to the bell pavilion and looked at the great country, the oriole also appeared like a phantom, with a respectful look on his face: "Good morning, Mr. Ye."
Ye Tianlong tilted his head and asked, "How is the situation now?"
"There are basically no variables."
Huang Que hurriedly responded: "Although the beast has well-developed limbs and a simple mind, it has a lot of experience in dealing with chaos."
"He has stabilized the government team. The Wolf Riders also crushed three waves of rebel counterattacks last night. Tianmo will protect him secretly for a while."
He looked firm: "The overall situation has been decided."
With Tianmo protecting the beast, and the beast's fighting power, unless a ninth-grade master assassinated it, it would be impossible to kill the beast.
"Very good, the overall situation has been decided, and I can leave Cui Country with peace of mind."
Ye Tianlong threw a piece of pastry into his mouth: "Have you found the secret of the golden pages?"
He gave the gold piece to Zhao Wenguang last night and asked him to find Cao Qiankun and Hongjian to study it.
After hearing this, Huang Que suddenly became energetic. After looking around, he whispered:
"After joint research by Hongjian, Cao Qiankun and Zhao Wenguang, they have cracked a map in the early morning."
"To be precise, it's a treasure map, the location of the eighteen jade mines that Somchai has been looking for for a long time."
"I don't know the specific value..."
"However, Babu tried his best to hide it, but he still couldn't cash it out and transferred it overseas. He left a message to his descendants, so these jade mines must be of amazing value."
"If we calculate based on the jade mine that Zheng Xiaolan found, one is worth 30 billion, and if there are 18 mines, that's 540 billion."
When it comes to 540 billion, Huang Que's eyes turn green. With this money, he can buy more than a thousand "Metamorphosis King Kong".
Ye Tianlong also looked stunned, with surprise on his face: "Are there really eighteen jade mines?"
The beast once told Ye Tianlong that Babu was not killed by Songchai immediately. In addition to keeping him to show his benevolence and righteousness, he also wanted to extract money.
After more than a month, Babu's domestic and foreign assets were completely squeezed out, except for not informing him about the eighteen jade mines.
Somchai knew about the existence of eighteen jade mines because Babu accidentally mentioned it at a New Year's party, and there was no solid evidence.
Moreover, except for Babu, no third party knew about the existence of the eighteen jade mines. Even Babu's family did not know about it.
So Somchai could only slowly test Babu.
Unfortunately, before he could dig out the whereabouts from Babu's mouth, Babu was shot in the head by Ye Tianlong.
Huang Que nodded in response: "Zhao Wenguang and the others confirmed that the golden pages marked eighteen locations, and they are all in the deep mountains and old forests of Cui Kingdom."
"This is consistent with the eighteen jade mines that Songchai wants, and the golden page is also marked with the word jade."
"My guess is that Babu imitated the Japanese and buried the top-quality jade stones collected over the years in eighteen places for his descendants."
He smiled: "It's just that the Orientals are hiding coal mines."
Dongyang resources are scarce, and coal mines are few and far between, so the Dongyang people import coal, then seal and sink it to the bottom of the sea, ready to be used by future generations.
Ye Tianlong unbuttoned his collar and laughed: "It seems to be a great gift."
"This is also the reward for Ye Shao to keep his promise."
Huang Que said sincerely: "If Ye Shao did not go to sacrifice and burn the book, or throw the book into the trash can, how could the golden page appear?"
"Of course, we also have to thank Songchai. If he hadn't wiped out the six tribes of Babu, he might not be willing to give you this destined person."
Speaking of this, Huang Que changed the subject: "Ye Shao, what should we do next? Should we send someone to take a look at the jade mines?"
"Don't investigate these jade mines first, just treat them as if they don't exist. When Cuiguo is stable and Haoshou completely controls all parties, then make plans."
Ye Tianlong thought long-term: "At the same time, let Zheng Xiaolan set up a reliable team in China, and enter Cuiguo in the future to spend money to buy these mountains."
Making a fortune in silence is Ye Tianlong's style.
Huang Que nodded: "I understand."
"By the way, let Ding Liuyue transfer 50 billion."
Ye Tianlong sighed: "There is a lot of work to be done, and money is needed everywhere..."
Huang Que hesitated and said: "I understand, but it will take two or three days to transfer the money in."
Ye Tianlong tilted his head and looked at him: "Why?"
"Miss Ding is in Xin Guo, and there is some friction with the Guo family army..."
