[Chapter 180 - Accidental Collision] There is a providence in the dark
Jing Liuxuan said blankly: "Really? ”
"yes." Wen Liunian spread his hands, "Then tell me, why can Ah Yue open it?" "It doesn't make sense at all, doesn't it.
Jing Liuhuan: "......"
Jing Liuxuan said: "That's right. ”
"Let's go in and have a look." Shen Qianfeng was on the sidelines, "Since only Chu Xiang can enter, there must be a great name inside, otherwise it wouldn't be so painstaking." ”
Jing Liuxuan nodded again and again, and was annoyed in his heart, if he had known that this mechanism was just an ornament, then he should have opened it earlier, and found the things inside to offer treasures, which would be another credit.
The crowd rushed in with torches. Wen Liunian followed behind with small steps, his back almost soaked in cold sweat. Zhao Yue was also a little crying and laughing, and took two steps to hold his hand in the palm of his hand.
"Scared the hell out of me." Wen Liunian complained lowly. Next time, don't be idle anymore, if you really can't help but want to touch it, then you can touch me.
The cave is very dry and cool, and after eight full bends, there is a rock wall at the end. Ah Li knocked on the hilt of his sword and said, "Dead end." ”
"There should be organs." Duan Baiyue said, "Everyone scatter to find it, beware of hidden weapons." ”
After eating lunch, Ye Jin originally wanted to go back to take care of Chu Yuan and Nan Mo Evil, but after hearing the news, he also turned back to the cave, but before he could go in, he heard a burst of explosions inside.
"Ahem." Ah Li covered his mouth and coughed.
Sikong Rui reached into a crack in the wall and pulled out a box.
Duan Baiyue patted him on the shoulder: "The way you open the mechanism can be regarded as chic." ”
After discovering this hollow stone wall, everyone was still discussing how to crack it, Sikong Rui had already smashed it with a punch, and the rubble was splashing, and Zhao Yue hurriedly protected Wen Liunian in his arms.
Sikong Rui was very dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't cover anyone, but he wanted to cover Lord Wen, after all, in the future compilation of the biography, this scene will also be written, and he can't see how it can be done.
"Thank you." Duan Baiyue snatched the thing out of his hand.
"Let's get out." Ah Li said, "It's choked to death." ”
"What's going on?" Ye Jin ran in.
"Let's go, let's go out first." Shen Qianfeng grabbed his shoulders and whispered the matter as he walked.
Ye Jin: "......"
Is this exposed?
"Lord Wen fooled it." Shen Qianfeng said, "The royal bloodline is secondary, let's see what Chu Xiang is hiding with such great effort." ”
Duan Baiyue brushed off the ash on the box, and after opening the lock, a circle of people around stretched their necks and leaned over, for fear of missing the excitement.
"Parchment?" Qu Yunzhi asked.
Duan Baiyue said: "It's half a nautical chart." ”
"This ......" Ye Jin hesitated, his fingers rubbed over a dark red faded totem on the map, and looked up at Shen Qianfeng, who seemed to be somewhat similar to the seal of Sun Moon Villa.
"So this is the other half of the rumored treasure map?" Wen Liunian was shocked.
Duan Baiyue smiled dumbly, he hadn't expected that he would find this thing in Xingzhou by mistake.
At that time, after Shen Liu, the ancestor of the Shen family, and the people of Chaoya Island sealed the remaining treasures on the Golden Island, they drew a treasure map, took half of each, and agreed that no one could swallow it alone. Unexpectedly, Shen Liu later died, and a fire burned the Shen family clean, and this half of the treasure map became an eternal secret. The other half of the treasure map caused the Chaoya people to kill each other and go crazy, and they couldn't live in fear, and finally ended up with a miserable end of extermination.
"No wonder Chu Xiang wants to send someone to Chaoya Island." Duan Baiyue said, "In this way, everything can be explained." Once you get the other half of the treasure map of the Chaoya people, you can find the huge wealth on the Golden Island, which is equivalent to half of the Great Chu treasury. ”
"But why is this half of the treasure map in Chu Xiang's hands?" Ye Jin frowned.
"Nie Yuanshan wants the royal bloodline, and he must also know this secret, the Qinghui Gang in Qinghui City, Shanxi." Duan Baiyue touched her chin, "Maybe the helper Wang Yun can explain all this." ”
"I'll have to go back and ask again." Ye Jin said, "Put away this half of the treasure map first." ”
Duan Baiyue glanced at Shen Qianfeng.
"The prince will hand it over to the emperor." Shen Qianfeng said, "Although the nautical chart was drawn by the ancestors of the Shen family, at the beginning of the establishment of the Sun Moon Villa, I didn't want to have anything to do with this past. ”
"Okay." Duan Baiyue was very happy, and returned to the main battle ship with the map in his hand.
Nan Moxie was still lying quietly in the ice coffin, Duan Baiyue squatted beside him and looked at him for a while, stretched out his hand to pull his beard, and sighed: "If you don't wake up again, believe it or not, Yao'er can run to comb your hair eight times a day." ”
Nanmo evil is full of pigtails and new clothes, which is rare to be clean.
"Okay, don't sleep when you get home." Duan Baiyue said, "Otherwise, not only will you miss my wedding wine, but I'm afraid that even Yao'er's you won't be able to catch up." ”
There was no reaction from Nanmo.
Duan Baiyue cleared her throat and said loudly in his ear: "Yao'er fell in love with Widow Li, who sells bacon in Dali City, if the master doesn't wake up, I will agree to this family matter." ”
Duan Yao stood at the door, with mixed feelings.
You just fell in love with Widow Li.
Who is Widow Lee.
"Well, go talk to the master for a while." Duan Baiyue patted his head and turned around and went back to the next door.
Duan Yao pursed his lips and hurried to lie down in Nan Moxie's ear to complain: "Brother stole your worm this morning!" "If you don't wake up, your family will be emptied.
Chu Yuan leaned against the head of the bed, his face was much better than before, and when he saw him come in, he asked, "How is Senior Nan?" ”
"Sooner or later, I'll wake up." Duan Baiyue said, "Don't worry. ”
"Hmm." Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and gently straightened his hair: "You won't come back until the evening." ”
"Originally, but something happened temporarily." Duan Baiyue took out the half of the parchment roll, "Huh." ”
"What?" Chu Yuan received it in his hand, and after opening it, he was stunned, "This ......"
"By mistake, I found it in Chu Xiang's dark room." Duan Baiyue said, "This is the half of the ancestor of the Shen family, and if you want it, it's easy to get it, don't forget, I can keep those Moon Ming Gu taken out of your body." ”
"But why does Chu Xiang have this?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Do you remember what I told you about the relationship between Nie Yuanshan and the end of the sky?" Duan Baiyue put the pillow for him.
Chu Yuan nodded: "Naturally, he has the same totem as the people at the end of the sky, and you also told me that maybe they were once the same sect." What's the matter, this matter is related to Nie Yuanshan? ”
"The reason why Nie Yuanshan wants the royal bloodline is to open the mechanism, and Bacheng also knows that there is a treasure map in the mechanism." Duan Baiyue said, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be so much trouble." ”
"It turns out that he wanted to arrest Ah Li, just for this." Chu Yuan returned the half-volume map to him and asked casually, "Who opened the mechanism today, Ah Li or Xiao Jin?" ”
Duan Baiyue said calmly: "That organ is bad. ”
Chu Yuan wondered: "Bad? ”
"Jing Liuxuan said that only the Chu family can open it, but Zhao Da Boss casually poked it open." Duan Baiyue said, "I guess I can open it even if I touch it." ”
Chu Yuan: "......"
Is it.
"Nie Yuanshan is dead, and if you want to know the secret, you probably have to ask Wang Yun, the leader of the Shanxi Qinghui Gang." Duan Baiyue said, "The Lord of the Shen Alliance will handle this matter by himself, but I think that there is another person who may also know something." ”
Chu Yuan said: "Who?" ”
Duan Baiyue replied: "Elder of the end of the sky. ”
"He? Even if it is really the same clan, the islanders of the end of the world have been exiled for hundreds of years, and the two sides have long been out of contact, and they may not be able to know the secret. Chu Yuan said, "You plan to return to the end of the world?" ”
"The end of the sky has been wandering for hundreds of years, and the ancestors of the Shen family died hundreds of years ago. As the family continues, there will always be some secrets that will be passed down from generation to generation, even if it is only passed on to the elders alone, it will not be completely annihilated, otherwise it will be broken. Duan Baiyue said, "But you don't have to go to the end of the world, Ah Shen and Yueluo are here, and the rest of the young people on the island are also here, how can Grandpa not come." ”
"So sure?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Hmm." Duan Baiyue nodded, "Just like Master, on weekdays, Yao'er and I are angry with him, and when it comes to life-threatening moments, we will still stand up to protect the calves." Hundreds of young people on the island have come to Da Chu, and as an elder, Grandpa must at least come with him to see what the situation is here. ”
"Yes." Chu Yuan said, "Then I will have to work hard for you again." ”
"You're kind to me." Duan Baiyue pinched his nose, "Do you want that treasure on the Golden Island?" ”
Chu Yuan wondered: "Why not?" "After the war, the treasury is running out and we are short of money, so hurry up and get a boat to tow it.
"Okay, leave it to me." Duan Baiyue pinched his chin, "Sleep, I'll deal with the affairs of the end of the world first." ”
Chu Yuan nodded, covered the quilt himself, and watched him go all the way out of the room, thinking in his heart by the way, the mechanism is broken?
The young people at the end of the sky gathered in a circle, happily listening to Yueluo talk about Da Chu. Ah Shen sat on the side with a knife, and when he saw Duan Baiyue coming, he jumped on the deck by himself: "Lord Wang." ”
"It looks like it's quite lively." Duan Baiyue glanced behind him and said with a smile, "Are you satisfied with General Xue's arrangement?" ”
Ah Shen nodded: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
"Thank you, you don't have to." Duan Baiyue said, "Do me a favor?" ”
Ah Shen asked, "What?" ”
Duan Baiyue said: "I want to see Grandpa." ”
Ah Shen was silent when he heard this.
"Grandpa is definitely here, and eighty percent of them have looked for you." Duan Baiyue said, "I advise you to take people back to the end of the world, I guessed right?" ”
Ah Shen sighed: "It seems that in this Great Chu military camp, there is indeed nothing that can be hidden from the prince." ”
"Don't get me wrong, no one is telling me." Duan Baiyue said, "It's just that according to my understanding of Grandpa, he will definitely come." ”
"I didn't agree to Grandpa's request." Ah Shen leaned against the railing.
"I'm looking for Grandpa for another thing." Duan Baiyue said, "After asking, I will leave, I will never say much, and I will not interfere in the affairs between you and the end of the world." ”
Ah Shen frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
Duan Baiyue said: "It is related to a case hundreds of years ago. ”
Ah Shen hesitated.
"What, don't believe me?" Duan Baiyue asked, "The rest of the people Grandpa may not want to see you, but I have been eating and drinking for so long at the end of the world, and when I left, I kidnapped you and Yueluo, even if it was just sent to Grandpa to knock it with a cane to dissipate his anger." ”
Shen: "......"
"Let's go." Duan Baiyue patted him, "Let's go now." ”
"The prince really won't embarrass Grandpa?" Ah Shen asked.
Duan Baiyue handed him a dagger: "Never fight back." ”
“…… The prince laughed. Ah Shen scratched his head and jumped on the boat, "Let's go, Grandpa is on a desert island not far away." ”
Duan Baiyue raised the corners of her mouth: "Thank you." ”
The desert island is not far from the island where the Chu army is stationed, Grandpa lit a fire, and was looking at the big Chu military camp in the distance and sighed, when he suddenly saw a small boat approaching, so he hurriedly stood up.
Duan Baiyue said: "Senior." ”
Ah Shen jumped off the boat and said, "Grandpa, the prince said that he had something to ask you." ”
……
"Let's go." Grandpa waved his hand to drive people away, twisting his neck with a stubborn look.
Ah Shen glanced at Duan Baiyue.
"Senpai." Duan Baiyue sat beside him, "I'm here to make amends." ”
"Make amends, and give them back to me." Grandpa glared at him.
"It doesn't make sense for the seniors, the Dachu military camp is not a prison, if you want to leave and stay, it's a matter of one sentence." Duan Baiyue said, "Grandpa really didn't go to take a look?" At this time, everyone was talking and laughing with the soldiers of Da Chu, and it was very lively. ”
"That's what you're here for?" Grandpa asked.
"I came here to let Grandpa beat and scold him, so that he could get angry." Duan Baiyue said calmly, "After the fight and scolding, by the way, I will ask one more thing." ”
Grandpa shook his head: "I don't know anything." ”
Duan Baiyue said: "Hundreds of years ago, why did the people of the end of the sky flee overseas? ”
Grandpa said impatiently: "I said, I don't know anything." ”
"Then it can't be helped." Duan Baiyue sighed, "This matter is related to a cult in Shanxi, the emperor is bound to figure it out, if Grandpa refuses to say it, he will only have to wait for the army to return to the court, and the imperial court will post a list to offer a national reward, and then the battle will only be greater." ”
"What?" Grandpa's face changed.
"The emperor has no intention of provoking the tranquility of the end of the sky, but the cult has the same totem as the end of the sky, and once regarded Yue Luo as his accomplice, all this cannot be just a coincidence." Duan Baiyue said, "I don't want to disturb the end of the world too much, compared to posting a reward, maybe it would be better for Grandpa to say it." ”
Grandpa said: "The prince is threatening me." ”
Duan Baiyue shook her head: "No matter what Grandpa thinks, I really like the young people at the end of the world, and I am indeed grateful for the grace of saving my life at the beginning, so I want to simplify things, so it is good for everyone." ”
"The cult in Shanxi, but the surname is Wang?" After a long time, Grandpa asked.
Duan Baiyue nodded: "Exactly." ”
"Hundreds of years ago, there was a wealthy merchant named Shen Liu in Jiangnan." Grandpa said, "The ancestors of the Wang family had a very close personal relationship with Shen Liu, and they had close business contacts. Later, the Shen family was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, and the Wang family was also implicated, half of them stayed in their hometown in Shanxi, waiting for the resurgence of Dongshan, and the other half went into exile to the end of the world. ”
Duan Baiyue understood: "I see. ”
Grandpa said: "If you ask anything else, I won't know." ”
"That's enough." Duan Baiyue said, "I just said that I didn't intend to disturb the end of the world, I just wanted to figure things out." ”
Grandpa closed his eyes and said, "Lord Wang, please go." ”
Duan Baiyue stood up with interest, and said before leaving: "I know that everything Grandpa has done is to protect the end of the world, but it is definitely not a good strategy to escape the world for hundreds of years, and now the young people on the island want to live in a different way, isn't it a good thing, Grandpa really doesn't want to go to the barracks to have a look?" ”
Grandpa was silent.
Duan Baiyue said: "When Grandpa has figured it out, just tell Ah Shen that this king will come to pick it up in person, and he will leave first." ”
Grandpa still closed his eyes, and only when he heard the ship go away did he sigh slightly.
Chu Yuan woke up in a daze and fell asleep again, just waiting for Duan Baiyue to come back.
"Is it awake or sleepy." Duan Baiyue took a closer look.
"I'm awake, I'm sleepy." Chu Yuan sat up and asked for water to drink, "What's going on at the end of the sky?" ”
"Grandpa has always had a black face, but he didn't hit me, but said a lot of things." Duan Baiyue said, "The ancestor of the Wang family is an old friend of Shen Liu, and after the Shen family had an accident, the Wang family was also implicated, and the family was torn apart. Later, half of them stayed in Shanxi, waiting for revenge and a comeback, while the other half went to sea in secret, never to see the world again, only to protect themselves. ”
Chu Yuan said: "Half of the Wang family who stayed in Shanxi is the ancestor of Wang Yun, the leader of the Qinghui Gang?" ”
Duan Baiyue nodded: "I think it was when the Shen family was copied, the Wang family took advantage of the chaos to get the half of the treasure map, but they couldn't find the other half, so they could only be passed down from generation to generation as a treasure, thinking that one day they could find the treasure." When he arrived in this generation, the treasure map was accidentally captured by Chu Xiang, if I guessed correctly, Nie Yuanshan should have been surnamed Wang, in order to recapture the treasure map, he changed his name and surname and went to Nanyang alone, just to be able to get close to Chu Xiang. ”
"That way, everything can be explained." Chu Yuan said, "This is called having its own providence in the dark." ”
"You are a good emperor, even God helps you." Duan Baiyue pinched his cheeks, "I'll go see Master, you can sleep first." ”
"Tell the seniors for me." Chu Yuan said, "When he wakes up, I will definitely build a big house on Zhengyang Street, and then build a high platform at the gate, and ask the troupe to play suona and beat gongs and drums every day, and sing the white snake and the West Chamber after singing." ”
Duan Baiyue sighed: "Then Master Taifu is going to be angry to death." "It's good, just rush this, and you must shake the master awake.
The inventory on Sin Chew Island was carried out in an orderly manner, and the captives were also taken back to the royal city in batches. All the organs and military defenses were demolished, leaving only rows and rows of houses, standing empty on the island.
Duan Baiyue originally wanted to give this place to Ah Shen, but after asking, the people at the end of the sky were more willing to go to Dachu than to stay on the island.
Sikong Rui held his hand and smashed Duan Baiyue with his elbow, his eyebrows fluttering.
Duan Baiyue said with disgust: "You still have a lot of appetite. ”
"Whoever doesn't like silver, naturally the more you earn, the better." Sikong Rui bargained, "Even if it is temporarily handed over to me for two years, when the imperial court has energy, it will not be too late to send someone to take over Xingzhou." "The Battle of Nanyang has completely ended, and the trade route will be reopened in about half a year.
Duan Baiyue said: "It's okay." ”
"Really?" Sikong Rui was first overjoyed, and then puzzled, "This is also a state affair, so you promised me?" Can the emperor recognize it? ”
Duan Baiyue said: "If you talk nonsense again, I will hand over Xingzhou to the Lord of the Mirror Country." ”
"What do you do for him!" Sikong Rui was furious, who is a good brother who was born and died for you, tell it clearly!
"It's not for you." Duan Baiyue said, "The annual income is fifty percent of the imperial court. ”
"No problem." Sikong Rui couldn't help but be overjoyed, and held his hand sincerely, "Then it's decided." "I finally felt a little bit of the benefits of being a family member of the queen's mother, and I was very pleased.
In the early morning of the seventh day, a clear and long sound was heard in the sky. Almost at the same time, everyone pushed the door and ran out, looking up at the sky with their heads tilted.
"It's a ghost hand doctor!" Duan Yao threw away the comb, went out to take a look, and happily ran back to Nan Moxie's bedside, "Master, the senior you scolded every day is here, and he brought a lot of people!" "I've been compared, get up and fight!
