Chapter 1176 [The Glory of Tang Dynasty 3]

After the pursuers left, Li Chu carefully came to a dilapidated thatched house. He couldn't help wondering, is this really where the legendary know-it-all lives? The scene before him was really hard to believe.

Li Chu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then gently knocked on the rickety wooden door. After a while, the door slowly opened, and an old man in tattered clothes appeared at the door. He was the know-it-all.

Li Chu hurried forward, handed over the half jar of wine in his hand, and said: "This is the fine wine I brought specially. I hope to exchange it with you for some information." Wanshitong glanced at the half jar of wine, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.

"You only have half a jar of wine. Logically, I shouldn't exchange it with you. However, since you were able to find me, I will reluctantly answer one of your questions." The Know-It-All said slowly.

Li Chu quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your generosity, I won't be polite then."

"Just ask any questions you have." Know-it-all waved his hand, signaling Li Chu to speak quickly.

Li Chu thought for a moment, then asked, "I want to know why Yang Guozhong visited Wuxing Governor Shen Yizhi so many times?"

The know-it-all answered bluntly: "The reason why Yang Guozhong visited Shen Yizhi so frequently is nothing more than because of the King of Yunnan, who owns a mountain of gold, that is, the Dugu family of Yunnan."

Li Chu nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Then why is the Shen family related to the Dugu family in Yunnan?"

The know-it-all smiled and said, "That's the second question. I said before that I would only answer one question for you, and I did so because of your half jar of wine. Otherwise, I would never say another word based on your half jar of wine."

Seeing that he couldn't get the answer he wanted to ask, Li Chu had no choice but to leave.

As soon as Li Chu left, Shen Zhenzhu came in with half a jar of wine. She gently placed the half jar of wine on the table, then looked directly at Wanshitong and said, "I want to use this wine to exchange for some information."

Wan Shi Tong looked at Shen Zhenzhu suspiciously, then looked at the half jar of wine, and muttered, "Oh? Isn't this the half jar of wine that the kid just left? The owner of Zuixianlou is too good at doing business. He even sells Zuixian wine in two. I am losing a lot. One jar of wine can only be exchanged for one question. You two each got half a jar, but I can only get the answer to one question. This is too uneconomical!"

However, the know-it-all didn't seem to be really angry. He just complained a few words, then changed the subject: "However, considering that I'm in a good mood today, I'll reluctantly accept this half jar of wine. Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

Shen Zhenzhu took a deep breath, took out a jade tassel from her bosom, handed it to Wan Shi Tong, and asked, "The person who saved me many years ago is wearing this jade tassel. Do you know who he is?"

Wanshitong took the jade tassel and examined it carefully. He saw that the jade tassel was pure white, warm and delicate, and there were exquisite patterns carved on it. It was obviously a treasure of great value.

"Hmm..." Wanshitong touched his chin and said after thinking for a moment, "The jade tassel in your hand is made of Tianshan snow jade. This kind of jade is very rare and only produced in the Huihe royal court. To be able to get such a jade tassel, it means that this person must have received a reward from the Huihe royal court. Therefore, this person's identity must be extraordinary and his background must be not small."

"Then do you know who he is?" Shen Zhenzhu asked curiously.

The know-it-all smiled and kept the question a secret: "Well, that's the second question."

Seeing this, Shen Zhenzhu felt helpless, but she couldn't force it, so she could only say, "Okay, thank you for letting me know." After that, she picked up the jade tassel on the table and turned around to leave.

Just as Shen Zhenzhu was about to step out of the door, Wanshitong suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Shen Zhenzhu stopped when she heard the voice and turned back in confusion.

The know-it-all said slowly, "You and the owner of this jade tassel are destined to meet each other in the future."

Shen Zhenzhu was moved when she heard this, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your advice."

After leaving Wanshitong's residence, Shen Zhenzhu felt very complicated. Who was the owner of the jade tassel? She couldn't help but be full of curiosity and expectation about this unknown person.

After returning to the inn, Shen Zhenzhu rested for a while and then continued on the journey with the car. After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived in Chang'an.

Chang'an, this prosperous city, made Shen Zhenzhu feel both strange and familiar. The first thing she thought of was to go to Jishitang to look for her old friend Murong Linzhi.

Murong Linzhi, the daughter of Huaihua General Murong Cheng, was not only gentle and charming, but also a skilled doctor. She was kind-hearted and opened a Jishitang in Chang'an to help the poor.

When Shen Zhenzhu stepped into Jishidi Hall, she immediately recognized Murong Linzhi who was busy. The two were naturally very happy to meet each other. After some greetings, Shen Zhenzhu stayed in Jishidi Hall.

At night, Shen Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi talked by candlelight, chatting about each other's recent situation. Murong Linzhi told Shen Zhenzhu that there was a big event in Chang'an City recently, which was the emperor's selection of concubines. Unexpectedly, she was also selected.

After hearing this, Shen Zhenzhu couldn't help but feel worried for Murong Linzhi. She knew very well how complicated and dangerous the palace life was, and was worried that Murong Linzhi would be wronged in it.

Murong Linzhi seemed quite calm. She smiled and said to Shen Zhenzhu, "I am a person who goes with the flow. Since I have been chosen, I will just let it go."

Shen Zhenzhu felt relieved when she saw Murong Linzhi was so open-minded. However, she had already made up her mind to hide her edge during the selection and never let herself be selected into the palace.
