Chapter 106: Secret within Secret

After the movement of the bookshelf stopped, what appeared in front of Su Miao and Xiao Jingyu was a two-person wide cave. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The master and apprentice glanced at each other. Xiao Jingyu looked into the cave - the light in this corner of the study was not good, and she couldn't see anything clearly in the dark cave. She looked back in the direction of the study door, stomped her foot, patted Su Miao, and lowered her voice: "Miaomiao, quickly push it back!" We'll come back in the evening! ”

There are people coming and going outside, and there are constantly people coming in and out to clean up, so it is really not appropriate to go in and find out at this time. Su Miao pulled the bookshelf back to its original state and walked out of the study with Xiao Jingyu.

After a while, the house had been cleaned up, and someone was sending quilts, mattresses and furnishings to the house, Xiao Jingyu hurriedly called people to stop: "Wait, send Miss Su's things to the East Chamber, in addition, go to my yard and move my things, I also want to live in this yard!" ”

The old butler who was commanding his subordinates waved his hand again and again to stop it: "How can this be done!" "My own lady's temper is getting more and more weird, there are more than 20 courtyards to choose from in the inner courtyard of the entire Xiao family's mansion, she just chose to squeeze in a small courtyard with a little girl, what's the matter!

"What's wrong with that?" Xiao Jingyu disagreed, "I have a good relationship with my apprentice, we live together, and it is convenient for me to teach her skills!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Su Miao looked at Xiao Jingyu eagerly with a look of curiosity.

"......" The two masters and apprentices have said this, what else does the old butler have to say? In fact, he didn't really have to stop his young lady from moving here, but if this matter was a bit rude in the big family, he reminded it. But when will Xiao Jingyu be limited by etiquette? Anyway, my uncle didn't come back with Miss, and it was not unreasonable for Miss to live with her apprentice.

Anyway, in the Xiao family's mansion, Xiao Jingyu is the head of the family, and in the entire Xiao family fort, she is the patriarch, the one with the highest status and the most authoritative speech, and the rules are all set by her, and this little thing is not what she says.

Besides, it is no longer possible for the young lady to have children of her own, and she treats her apprentice as if she were her own, and has a deep affection for her apprentice, which is a good thing that he should be happy for her!

Xiao Jingyu successfully crossed the sea without concealment, and lived in a courtyard with Su Miao, and the two of them went to bed early at night. The maids dutifully kept watch over the night, and no one noticed that the light of the lanterns and candles in the courtyard was dimmer than usual......

After lying down for a while, watching the maids who kept vigil began to fall asleep one by one, after half a pillar of incense, except for the two masters, everyone else in the courtyard lay on the table or fell directly to the ground and began to sleep, the master and apprentice got up as soon as they got up, and the two people who were neatly dressed met in the courtyard, each carrying a lantern, and walked to the study of the west wing.

Entering the study, Su Miao pushed it as in the afternoon, and the two of them carried lanterns and entered the cave one after the other. Su Miao turned around and pulled the bookshelf back to its original position, lest someone accidentally enter the study and discover the secret behind the stone-carved bookshelf. The situation in the cave was unknown, and Su Miao was afraid of any danger, so she insisted on walking in front. Xiao Jingyu carried the lantern and followed behind, thinking about it as she walked, and in the afternoon she tried her best not to let the bookshelf move for half a minute, and Su Miao ...... muttered: "Miaomiao, I said that your strength is too great...... I don't think even Ah Chen can compare to you. ”

Less than three feet ahead, it was a left turn. Su Miao turned in, and Xiao Jingyu followed straight - almost hitting Su Miao's body.

Xiao Jingyu hurriedly grabbed Su Miao's arm and fixed her backward figure, and poked her head forward: "What's going on-" Before she finished speaking, she was shocked by the scene in front of her, and she was stunned for a long time with her mouth open, and Xiao Jingyu sighed: "Oh my God!" It turns out that our Xiao family really has a treasure room! ”

Xiao Jingyu vaguely remembered that when she was very young, Xiao Jiabao actually had a legend about treasures. When she was young, she was the same as the children of Xiaojiabao, she was studying in the family school, and after class, the children liked to listen to stories from an old man on the street before they went home, and the favorite one was about the treasures of Xiaojiabao. I heard the old man say that the ancestors of the Xiao family were actually in business, and a long, long time ago, their family recuperated here, and at that time, the entire southwest city was the territory of the Xiao family. However, after the change of dynasties and the continuous wars, it soon affected the southwest, and the ancestors decided to move to the relatively peaceful north in order to keep their bloodline. In order to preserve part of the strength, the head of the Xiao family took the strong men in the clan to secretly go into the mountains, find a cave, and add manpower to excavate to make a treasure cave, they moved more than half of the foundation accumulated by the Xiao family over the years to the cave to hide, As a capital for a comeback when he returns to the southwest in the future.

Unexpectedly, when the patriarch of the Xiao family, who had hidden the treasures, took people back to the southwest city, he encountered officers and soldiers outside the city who were suppressing bandits. These officers and soldiers chased all the way from the east, and the bandits fought and retreated, and soon collided with the people of the Xiao family, and the scene was chaotic. Those officers and soldiers didn't care so much, they saw that the people of the Xiao family looked panicked, so they decided that they were good people disguised as bandits, and when they saw that they were struggling to escape, they actually shot them one by one! In the end, only one of the chief's attendants escaped......

After the attendants fled back, panic spread among the leaderless clans, but in this chaotic world, they didn't know who to turn to. There was only one new patriarch in the clan who began to move north ahead of schedule......

Along the way, the vitality was greatly damaged, and by the time the north was settled, only half of the people were not enough. And at that time, the little son of the patriarch's family was favored by the little lady of the Tang family of the local pharmaceutical family, and through marriage, they gained a firm foothold in the local area...... The Xiao family has also slowly changed from being a businessman to being good at pharmaceutical......

After the situation stabilized, decades have passed, although after all these years of operation, the Xiao family also has a certain scale in the north, but their roots are always in the southwest, so they began to move back again.

In order not to leak the news when the treasure was hidden, the less people knew, the safer it was, so the location of the treasure cave was only known to the patriarch and two cronies, and all three of them were killed by mistake in the incident of the officers and soldiers suppressing the bandits. The only attendant who escaped was waiting outside the mountain at the behest of the order, knowing only that something was hidden somewhere in the mountain, and not even knowing a definite direction.

The Xiao family, who moved back, actually didn't need to start by looking for the treasures of their ancestors again, but they couldn't do it if they ignored the treasures. So according to the impression of the attendant, the Xiao family was placed on the mountain where the treasure was hidden. The entire mountain is within the scope of the Xiao family, so that there will be no regrets that outsiders will inadvertently take the treasure.

Xiao Jingyu remembered that when she first heard this story, she also ran home and asked her father, and asked him if the Xiao family had found out the treasure later, and her father smiled at the time, only saying that she would know when she grew up. Thinking about it now, isn't it that the clansmen of their Xiao family have already found out the treasure at that time? That's all in front of you?

What shocked the master and apprentice was the golden light of a whole cave, and the one that Su Miao saw in the palace of the Sea Kingdom was even more than that - even the ground in the three-zhang square cave was paved with gold bricks, and it was randomly piled up with gold ingots like a hill, and everywhere it came into view, it was yellow and clear, and it flashed so much that people's eyes were spent!

Xiao Jingyu took a few steps forward, and suddenly let Su Miao stop again: "Master, look! ”

"I'm your master-" Su Miao's mouth couldn't be changed, every time she heard her call like this, Xiao Jingyu would always correct her dissatisfied, but her attention was quickly diverted by the words carved on the wall, "What is this?" ”

On the left hand side of the entrance to the Golden Cave, there is a black screen made of unknown stone, with a few lines of words on it, to the effect that this is the Xiao family's private forbidden place, only the patriarch is qualified to enter, and what kind of clan rules will be punished for violating the order.

Xiao Jingyu suddenly realized: "No wonder my father said at that time that I would know when I grew up...... I will be able to inherit his position and become the head of the Xiao family when I become an adult, so won't I naturally know this secret? ”

"It seems that the old man is right." Su Miao blew out the lantern and put it aside, the golden light in the cave was so bright that she didn't even need to hit the lantern, and she could directly see the situation in the cave, "The Xiao family was really rich back then." ”

Looking at this familiar scene in front of her, Su Miaofu was heartbroken, and she thought of the treasure room she had entered when she was in the Sea Kingdom Palace. In terms of the gold seen in front of him, it seems that it is not enough to set off the value of the Xiao family's rich side back then, and so much gold, just piled up on the ground so directly, if it was an ordinary person who saw this scene, he would have been dizzy by the impact of these golden lights, where could he take care of anything else? But if you use so much gold to make a trick, isn't it too big?

There is only one reason why they are willing to spend such a large amount of money, and that is that what is hidden is much greater than the value of these golds! Thinking of this, Su Miao picked up the lantern again, bypassed Xiaojin Mountain, and searched around the dimly lit mountain wall. Not to mention, she really found a stone in a corner that looked a little suspicious. Su Miao tried the direction, and lifted the stone, which was heavier than the stone carved bookshelf, up again, and there was another entrance, but in front of this entrance was another door that looked very heavy. This door is activated by a mechanism, and the intricate appearance of the mechanism lock on the door makes people feel distressed to look at. Su Miao tried, but she couldn't open it at all with brute force, and retreated decisively: "Master, it seems that you have to call Ah Chen and Master over......" (To be continued.) )
