Chapter 157: Li Qin Deals with the Treasure House
Song Que entered Luoyang City on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
He stayed in Wang Shichong's hidden residence, where he bathed and changed clothes, and visited Li Qin the next day with great spirit.
It was the fifteenth day of the first month of the third year of the Great Wu Xingtong, and this was the Lantern Festival.
Although the bloodshed of the battle had just passed, with the help of the materials that continued to go north and the assistance of Li Qinjun's soldiers, the lively atmosphere of the Kung Fu Lantern Festival was created in just a month. On this day of universal celebration, as long as you don't explore it very carefully, you will definitely not find any traces of war in Luoyang City.
The power of the state is unmistakable.
Under Li Qin's planning, the Lantern Festival in Luoyang is still very lively. In the midst of this excitement, Li Qin showed up on the head of Miyagi and made it clear that he was willing to share peace with everyone.
It's just a show, but for an emperor, it's necessary at some point.
After the necessary show, Li Qin quickly returned to the depths of the palace city, and he saw Song Que in the side hall on the side of the main hall. Song Que was still so flawless and charming, and Li Qin felt a mellow taste in him.
He had already attained enlightenment, and compared to the last time he was separated, Li Qin really felt his strength.
"It seems that King Yue has already recovered all the injuries he suffered last year?" Li Qin looked at him and smiled faintly, "It seems that there is still a higher level!" ”
"After breaking and standing, just a little gain." Song Que waved his hand lightly and responded lightly.
Neither of them is a person of many words, so they simply exchanged pleasantries and immediately talked about the business at hand.
"King Yue knows why I brought you from Lingnan!" Li Qin opened his mouth solemnly: "Bi Xuan went to find Fu Cailin." I have a hunch that this time Bi Xuan will definitely go south again, and he will appear in front of me with Fu Cailin. ”
"Because you're too strong! He wants to suppress you......" Song Que was not surprised by Li Qin's speculation, but pointed out the key to it sharply.
He guessed this, and Li Qin also understood it very well: "As far as the forces around us are concerned, only the weak and divided Central Plains is in their best interests. Although I am not completely in contact with them, there is no guarantee that these great grandmasters will target me with a surprise attack. I'm afraid I can't deal with the Great Grandmaster alone, so I need your help, King Yue. ”
"Do you think I can handle two great grandmasters?" Song Que raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I'm afraid not, so ...... I plan to improve myself as soon as possible. Li Qin said calmly.
"Do you want to advance to the Grand Master?" Song Que looked at him in surprise: "I'm afraid this is not easy, your mentality is not enough." It seems to me that you need to sharpen for at least two to three years......"
"I don't have that much time, so I'm going to cheat!" Li Qin shook his head helplessly.
"Tricks? How are you going to cheat? Song Que was puzzled by this.
"Evil Emperor Relic ......," Li Qin said the term.
"Evil Emperor Relic?" Song Que's brows furrowed slightly: "Isn't this something from the Demon Gate?" You ...... so much" Song Que said and paused, and then suddenly said: "Lu Miaozi told you?" The relics of the evil emperor are in the treasure of Yang Gong? He guessed a lot at once.
"That's right!" Li Qin nodded heavily, and he told Song Que directly: "Yang Gong's treasure is under the city of Chang'an. I'm going to go inside and get the Evil Emperor Relic! The Evil Emperor Relic is divided into two parts, the Essence Yuan and the Evil Qi...... I plan to use their evil qi to sharpen my spirit, and use my essence to enrich my body's essence. I estimate that after I absorb half of the essence of the Evil Emperor Relic, I will have the strength to impact the Great Grandmaster. ”
"And then, one for each of us?" Song Que guessed Li Qin's thoughts.
"Maybe, maybe not...... There's a good chance I'll get the Evil King to join us. Li Qin said lightly: "I plan to give him the remaining half of the essence yuan." ”
"Now that you have the support of the Yin Kui faction, with the relationship between Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan, you don't have to worry about ......" Song Quan broke the key to it.
"There's always a way! In short, three months from now will be a test of life and death for me. If I don't get through, I'm afraid that everything I've created will be wiped out. The three great grandmasters, I'm afraid they will all stand opposite me. Li Qin said lightly the most terrible situation he could encounter.
"So, you're going to let Qiang win over Shi Zhixuan by himself?" Song Que nodded lightly, and then fell silent. After a long moment, he looked up: "If everything goes well, your plan has a four-point chance of success." ”
"Is it only four points? I thought there would be more opportunities......" Li Qin smiled bitterly, and soon became solemn again: "Four points is four points!" For me now, even if there is only one possibility, I have to work hard. ”
"This too!" Regarding Li Qin's statement, Song Que also agreed: "When do you plan to go?" He asked Li Qin in a low voice.
"Today, overnight, ......," Li Qin replied in a whisper.
"It's good!" Song Que nodded lightly, "Then I'll help you sit here." ”
"Thank you very much!" Li Qin Dynasty Song was absent.
After the luggage, Li Qin stood up and turned to leave. Only Song Que was left to sit quietly. Since he promised to sit in Luoyang for him when Li Qin left, he naturally would not break his promise. As for the agreement between him and Ning Daoqi - hey, isn't Ning Daoqi's old boy still helping Li Er. That was the first time he breached the contract, and since Ning Daoqi was still hanging outside, he could naturally continue to appear.
It's just that in the current situation, he also understands that the later he appears, the better.
"Anyway, let's take a look at it this way." Song Que said this, and he didn't take this matter to heart.
Li Qin just left alone. Three days later, wearing a mask, he blended into the crowd and entered Chang'an City.
As the legal capital of the Great Sui, Chang'an City has its own rigorous and majestic atmosphere. This kind of weather did not dissipate with the change of the owner of the city, on the contrary, it was deepened a lot because Li Tang continued to take Chang'an City as the capital.
is the so-called: mountains and rivers thousands of miles of country, the city of nine-fold gates: do not see the emperor is strong, and know the son of heaven.
A collection of cultural relics, the imperial capital of thousands of years. Chang'an is located on the south bank of the Wei River in the Guanzhong Plain, known as the "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan", where the Zhou, Qin, Han, Western Jin, Qianzhao, Qianqin, Later Qin, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang were all built here.
The south is the Zhongnan Mountain in the middle section of the Qinling Mountains, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, steep and steep, become the natural barrier in the south, and there is the majestic momentum of "the mountains and mountains overlook the water, and the blue mountains are inserted into the sky".
In the north, there are Yaoshan Mountain, Huanglong Mountain, Saga Mountain, Liangshan Mountain, etc., which constitute the continuous Beishan mountain system, which is far away from the Qinling Mountains.
On the large fertile plains drawn out of these mountain boundaries, Chang'an City is strong, and the eight rivers of Wei, Jing, Feng, Waterlogging, Wei, Zhu, Chan and Ba are like a string of beads that sparkle and flicker, forming a situation of "eight rivers around Chang'an". These rivers are like bloodlines, which not only provide Chang'an with abundant water, but also make Chang'an full of vitality.
"Qinzhong has been an imperial state since ancient times", and it is precisely because of various strategic and economic favorable conditions that Chang'an has been favored by successive monarchs since ancient times.
At present, Chang'an City is composed of three parts: Waiguo City, Palace City and Imperial City. The Miyagi Castle and the Imperial Castle are located in the northern center of the capital, and the various squares in the outer castle guard the Miyagi Castle and the Imperial Castle from the left, right, and south sides. With the Zhuque Street in the middle as the boundary, the east and west belong to ten thousand years, Chang'an two counties.
The palace city and the imperial city were the residences of the Tang royal family, while Guocheng was the place where the common people lived together, each with its own layout.
Thousands of houses are like a game of Go, and the 12th Street is like a vegetable field.
Chang'an Guocheng has a total of 11 streets in the north and south and 14 streets in the east and west, which are divided into 110 squares in a criss-crossing manner.
Among them, three north-south avenues and three east-west avenues between the city gates constitute the traffic backbone in Chang'an City, the most spacious of which is the Zhuque Street of Luoyang Heavenly Street, which is as wide as 40 zhang, and the rest are not as wide as the Zhuque Street, its scale can also be imagined.
In addition to Zhuque Street, Chang'an is most famous for its Metropolis and Liren City, which are located in the southeast and southwest of the imperial city, each occupying two squares. There are four streets in each city, forming a cross-"well" shaped layout, dividing the entire city boundary into nine districts, each district facing the street on four sides, and shops of various industries are set up on the street. Within each district, there are still small lanes, which are convenient for internal passage.
The two cities are the most lively places in Chang'an City, and many restaurants are open all night, which is a prosperous resort in Chang'an City.
Li Qin entered the city safely from Mingdemen and set foot on Suzaku Street, which was also shocked by the prosperity of this extraordinary and imperial capital.
Chang'an City is rigorous, in order to prevent water accumulation in the city, drainage ditches are set up on both sides of the main street, as wide as a small river, at the intersection of the road and water ditches, all pave stone bridges, forming a characteristic of Chang'an. On both sides of the avenue, there are locust trees, but in this cold winter, the dense branches and leaves have long been replaced by snow and ice, which makes people feel the majesty of midwinter.
However, the severe cold weather did not affect the prosperity of Chang'an, he walked on the main axis that runs through the north and south of Chang'an City, watching the traffic on the street, pedestrians like carp, but it is more lively than Luoyang.
"This is the real imperial capital weather." Li Qin looked at it and sighed, but he sighed with some emotion in his heart: "In the original book, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were able to hide Yang Gong's treasure in such a lively city, I am afraid that this is not only because of their strict planning, but also because they have the luck of the protagonist." ”
It's almost a certainty.
Now it was Li Qin's turn, but Li Qin was not much afraid of it: basically no one knew that he was here; No one is sure that Yang Gong's treasure is the second in Chang'an; And the most important third is that his personal space is enough for him to easily take everything inside without alarming outsiders.
Come quietly and go quietly, Li Qin is eighty percent sure that he can do all this.
And he also planned to use the help of the small axe to accomplish everything he wanted to accomplish directly in the treasure house.
"Only after completing these and improving my strength can I have a good talk with Shi Zhixuan." Li Qin thought about it, compared the situation in Chang'an City with the map in his memory, and immediately found a suitable road to the entrance of the well located in the Xiji Garden on the edge of the Wuxian Temple.
Xijiyuan is the property that Dugu Valve left in Chang'an City in the past. Now, with the Dugu Valve fully surrendering to Li Qin, it is naturally the branch of those Dugu Valves who have already taken refuge in Li Tang in charge of Xijiyuan. They are not very outstanding people, and their martial arts status is not too high in Li Tang and the like.
Looking at the lonely appearance of the Monero Sparrow in front of the gate of Xijiyuan, Li Qin estimated that if he hadn't taken Chang'an for a long time, then this Xijiyuan would sooner or later become the mansion of some upstart in Chang'an City.
"But...... What does it matter? Even if they gave it to whom? When I call back, this place will still return to the hands of Dugu Valve. Li Qin whispered, and then left the matter behind.
In the dark night, Li Qin climbed over the wall in the backyard of Xijiyuan, avoided the night patrol all the way, and soon found a well as an entrance in a corner of the backyard. Without hesitation, he jumped into the well, ignoring the freezing cold of the water, and found the mechanism to open the treasure house on the wall of the well.
It was a brick that protruded slightly from the stone wall. Li Qin pressed it hard, and the machine kicked off, revealing a black tunnel less than a person high on the wall of the well.
Li Qin leaned against the wall and burrowed into the dark corridor. As he walked along, he felt that the passage had been stretched diagonally upwards for five feet, and then downward, and it was quite steep.
The walls of the secret passage were surprisingly not overgrown with mosses and other plants that like dampness and darkness, and the air was so stuffy that it was suffocating.
After walking like this for a long time, and encountering a button similar to the original machine, Li Qin smiled slightly, recalling that Lu Miaozi explained clearly to himself the correct way to open the mechanism of Yang Gong's treasure, and immediately acted according to the law and twisted the button of the mechanism.
The mechanism opened, and in the sound of muffled thunder, a new path was revealed.
Li Qin walked along the road, high and low, deeper and deeper, and he didn't know how long he walked, but he felt that his eyes were suddenly bright, but he saw that he walked out of the corridor and came to a wide hall.
Li Qinding looked at it and saw that there were ventilation openings at all four corners of the roof of this hall. On both sides, there are more than a dozen chests that should be loaded with rare treasures, and there are dozens of weapon racks on the wall, full of various weapons. But they are all just ordinary goods, and all of them are rusty and moldy, and no one wants to give them away.
"This is the so-called fake library!" Li Qin smiled slightly, and was not confused by the rare treasures here, but jumped up in depth, stepped on the top of the flower to remove the night pearl inlaid on it, and then opened the passage from the fake library to the main hub room of the agency and dodged into it. After going through some twists and turns, and pressing the right switch, Li Qin finally opened the road to the real location of the treasure house.
Then he walked through the corridor and came to a circular stone chamber with a round stone table in the center, eight stone chairs, and a map of the treasure house painted with pictures and texts, showing the relationship between the treasure house and Chang'an City on the ground.
The circular chamber has four ordinary wooden doors leading to four treasure rooms, and under the tables are flints, flints, and paper coals to light the eight wall lamps evenly distributed across the walls of the surrounding chambers.
After the lights were bright, the two searched room by room, and they were amazed by it, and they knew that the treasure of Yang Gong was indeed worthy of its name.
There are four stone chambers, each of which is as wide as 100 paces, three of which contain weapons, and one of which hides treasures mainly of gold.
All weapons were kept in special oilcloth bags for anti-corrosion and placed in thousands of sturdy wooden boxes.
According to rough estimates, there are more than 3,000 powerful bows alone, and there are countless arrows. There are tens of thousands of other armor, knives, guns, swords, halberds, and other weapons, which are enough to assemble a strong force of 10,000 people.
"Sure enough! If it weren't for the fact that times had changed. I'm afraid I'll be thrilled when I see this. Li Qin said lightly, but with a wave of his hand, the things in the stone room were put into his own space one by one - although he didn't think these things were of great use, he didn't want to fall into the hands of others, so he wouldn't leave them for his successors anyway.
"It's time to bring out the Evil Emperor Relic." Li Qin muttered secretly, holding the edge of the stone table with his hand and rotating it vigorously.
There was a sound of the wheel grinding under the round table, and it turned to the left.
One of the floors next to the table sinks down, revealing a small space inside. A small copper jar with a lid is sitting quietly in the space square.
Li Qin knew that this was the copper pot that carried the relics of the evil emperor.
"Sure enough, it's it!" Li Qin looked at it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
