Chapter 471: Thunder
After evening, the sky was already as dark as the third watch, Shu Xiuhe walked out of the inn with a group of people, everyone wearing a coat and riding a horse in the rain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Boss, what do you say this group of people do? It's raining so heavily, and it's still going out. Xiao Er pinched his teeth and looked at the disappeared group of people in puzzlement.
The proprietor is a middle-aged man with a gentle face, he fiddled with the abacus, and did not raise his head, "Don't be nosy, there are some things that we in the small county town should know, I heard your mother say that I want to tell you a girl this year, be diligent, if a guest gives a reward, put it away, and keep it for marrying a daughter-in-law and raising a baby." ”
The owner quietly changed the topic and didn't let his young man talk about this group of people again. This group of people is an outsider at a glance, the young man is young and does not know much, he has opened an inn for decades, and many people have seen a lot of people coming and going from the south to the north, this group of people speak an official language, it must be from the capital, the leader is also rich and noble, and the others are also tall and strong, which is bigger than the Fan family in the county that claims to be a scholarly family.
Even if these people are big people in the capital, they can't be provoked when they come to their small county, who knows what this group of people are doing here, the less they know, the safer.
The sound of the horses' hooves was drowned out by the dense and rapid rain, the young Archie and another guard led the way in front, Shu Xiuhe was surrounded in the middle, the huge rain slapped on his body, mixed with the cold wind of autumn frost, making people shiver unconsciously and shrink his body.
The heavy rain and cold wind caused the tall guards to rub their hands together, trying to relieve the coldness of their hands.
Shu Xiuhe didn't know where that place was, even if he had a hat, his face was wet with the rain blowing in the wind, he wiped his face, didn't say a word, and continued to move forward behind Archie and them.
After nearly half an hour, the team finally stopped.
"Master Hou, it's here." Archie came to Shu Xiuhe's side, approached him and whispered, because he was already close to the place where the Yan family was stationed, he didn't dare to say too loudly, and most of his voice was blown away by the wind and rain.
Shu Xiuhe raised his head and glanced ahead, it was dark, and he could only look at a mountain and three silver pillars in a daze.
"That's three silver pillars?" Shu Xiuhe was excited, grabbed the reins, and asked excitedly.
"Yes, because the uncle of the Yan family has not yet arrived, and these people dare not touch this place." Archie's voice was deep, and if you listened closely, you could catch a tremor in his tone.
It's a pity that the rain is too heavy, and Shu Xiuhe didn't hear his abnormality, but just looked eagerly at the three silver dots.
"Let's go, dismount, let's go around quietly." Shu Xiuhe gave an order, the rest of the people got off the horse and tied the horse under the big tree, only Shu Xiuhe was still riding on the horse, Archie took the reins of Shu Xiu and the horse, and led the horse forward step by step.
The horses were glued on their mouths, unable to make a sound, and the group went around the direction of the hut and detoured through another rugged mountain path into the place Archie had spoken.
The rain was too strong, the lanterns and torches were not used, and in order to avoid being discovered by the Yan family, the group did not have the tools to bring lighting, Shu Xiu and as far as his eyes could see, he could only vaguely see an open place, there was a big river on one side, and a lake in the middle, because of the rain, the water surface rose and floated, and the waves were quite big.
On the other side was a collapsed mountain, connected to which were three silver pillars, and the place of the silver pillar was an empty land, which was splashed with mud from time to time by the heavy rain.
"Master Hou, what should we do now?" Archie asked in a low voice.
"Go, dig three feet into this piece of land for me, as long as you find something suspicious, you must show it to me immediately, whoever dares to swallow it privately, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Shu Xiuhe's face was gloomy, and he warned everyone in a low voice.
"Yes, Master Hou, please rest assured, we will definitely not hide anything." The leader of the guard bowed his hand and swore an oath.
"Well, since I can take you out, I trust you, as long as I find that kind of thing, each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and the person who finds it will be rewarded with an additional thousand taels of gold!" There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and with a clear reward, the group is full of energy.
Before coming out, each of them prepared a small hoe, the kind that specializes in digging herbs, and after dismounting, they took the hoe in their hands, and after listening to Shu Xiuhe's words, Archie began to divide the territory, and after assigning the place where everyone wanted to dig, Archie walked towards the three silver pillars, which was where he was responsible for digging.
Shu Xiuhe raised his eyes and swept the whole audience, and finally focused his eyes on Archie, staring closely at his every move, he felt that if Qinglong Xiangrui could be born, it should also be in a place surrounded by three silver pillars, otherwise why would there be three silver pillars? It's obvious that the rebellious ministers and thieves stolen by Qinglong Xiangrui got it, maybe this is to suppress Qinglong? Don't let it come out?
Thousands of years ago, the truth of history has been hidden in the long river, and it has long been unknown, and Shu Xiuhe will not stubbornly pursue this truth, he just wants to know whether what is buried in the ground is Qinglong Xiangrui.
Little by little, the night began to get dark, and the rain began to get heavier and heavier, just as Chai Bo had said.
Even if he was wearing a robe, he couldn't stop the pouring rain, the cold and windy, and the speed of the energetic guards began to weaken, seeing that Shu Xiuhe was anxious in his heart, he couldn't wait to push these people away and dig it himself.
Archie has been paying attention to Shu Xiuhe's movements from the corner of his eye, and from time to time he looks at the sky by raising his head to wipe the rain on his face, looking forward to the lightning and thunder that Chai Bo said.
"Bang"
When a lightning bolt pierced the sky, Archie was ecstatic in his heart, and then his heart began to beat fast, keeping in mind the words of the eldest young master, once the lightning appeared, he would immediately go to the buried place, and before the first thunder appeared, dig out that thing, expose a little trace, and then leave quickly, let Hou Ye take over.
Archie took a few quick steps, abandoning the hole he had dug and came to a mark that only he could read, and waved his hoe downwards with a hoe in his hand.
His heartbeat was fast, very fast, almost so fast that even in this kind of heavy rain, he could still hear his own heartbeat, and he knew that if he didn't do what the eldest young master taught, or if something went wrong halfway, then he might be the one who died.
"Ding"
It was a slight voice, a voice that was like a heavenly sound to Archie, and a greater ecstasy in his heart than he had seen lightning before.
"Boom"
There was thunder.
