Chapter 51: Treasure Chest
Xiao Peng immediately put away his smile when he heard this, looked left and right in a panic, and made sure that no one was nearby, so he mysteriously approached Ah Zi, lowered his voice and whispered: "This shouldn't have been said casually, but sister, you are the accompanying doctor, and you are also the person we work with, and you have the grace to save my life, so I can't hide it from you." ”
Speaking of this, he glanced around with his eyes again, and his voice was so low that Ah Zi had to prick up his ears to distinguish clearly: "Actually, you should have seen the box that Zhihong and Zhiwei carried when we boarded the ship. ”
When I boarded the ship a few days ago, because of the urgency of time, Ah Brown instructed everyone to bring only some daily necessities, and the rest of the luggage was delivered by the ship that delivered it later.
With such an order in place, the only arm-long box is particularly eye-catching.
It's just that when the stage got on the boat, the box was tightly wrapped in a layer of black cloth, and although Ah Zi was strange, he couldn't ask anything.
Now that Xiaopeng mentioned it, she couldn't help but hold her breath and listen carefully to him.
"The contents of that box, which is said to be a very important treasure of our Dongyuan, were smuggled to Xiyou by a group of traitorous court officials about five years ago, and the Xiyou court also used this as a threat to order the Dongyuan court to withdraw troops from the Xiyou border. At that time, the army of our imperial court had already attacked the territory of Xiyou, and it seemed that it was about to take a few important border towns, but the lost things were very important to our saints. As a result, the emperor Long Yan was furious, and he almost dismissed a few people who met him.
After that, the emperor really withdrew the garrison on the border of Xiyou, and after so many years, he never mentioned the matter of re-attacking Xiyu.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, don't mention how aggrieved you are. I thought that I could take the south of Xiyu within three years, and within ten years, I would capture Xijing in one fell swoop and dominate the world. But now five years have passed, and the emperor is not even allowed to garrison troops on the border with Xiyou.
"It all boiled down to the fault of this treasure stolen by the traitors.
"Therefore, this time the eldest brother is brave and strategic, and he snatched back this treasure from the Xiyou Imperial Court without a single soldier, if we can successfully complete the task and send this treasure back to the Dongyuan Imperial Court in good condition, not to mention the meritorious reward, I am afraid that it is possible to leave a name in history."
Xiaopeng looked proud, but Ah Zi was shocked when he heard it.
She had guessed that the box covered by black cloth was related to the mission of Ah Brown and his party, but she didn't expect that the contents of this box would have such a vital role.
Between gains and losses, the fate of the two countries can be decided, and how many lives of the Lebanese people are involved?
And what made Ah Zi a little breathless was the words that Xiaopeng inadvertently brought over about the loss of treasures.
Five years ago...... A group of treasonous officials of the Dongyuan court...... was finally intercepted by Ah Brown again......
All of this points to a fact: it was Zuo Qiyang who stole the beloved treasure of the Dongyuan Emperor!
If this is the case, this can also explain why Zuo Qiyang, as a traitor to Dongyuan, took refuge in the Xiyou Imperial Court, but he was able to finally take on the heavy responsibility of the imperial guard.
Yu Dongyuan was a traitor, but Yu Xiyou, but he was a hero who saved the country from fire and water.
It's no wonder that Ah Brown would avoid Zuo Qiyang like that, but he expected that he would guard at Xinmen Pass, so he was willing to give up the convenience of the entire Dongyuan land route, and was aggrieved to seek the dangerous move of the sea route.
However, what kind of treasure can make Emperor Dongyuan, a dying old man who has always been known for not asking about the world, angry, and even directly restrain Dongyuan's plan to invade Xiyou, and win the favor of the Xiyou court for Zuo Qiyang, a traitor......
Seeing that Ah Zi just lowered her head and thought, but didn't speak for a long time, Xiaopeng thought that she was questioning the truth of what she said, and sat up straight, looking like she was going to swear.
Ah Zi shook his head with a smile, pressed his raised right hand, and said, "How could I not believe you." It's just that the people involved behind these incidents are all from a lot of backgrounds, and if they are not careful, they may even subvert the rule of a country. This kind of news is too heavy for me, so I have to give me some time to digest it slowly. ”
When Xiaopeng heard this, he swept away the previous haze, put on a proud look, and talked about how many dignitaries and dignitaries he had seen with Ah Brown all the way, although the surface was bright, but he was living a fearful life inside, it was better for civilians to be happy, so cloudy.
Ah Zi was a little absent-minded when she heard this, but she also echoed two sentences from time to time.
Xiaopeng talked to himself for a while, and saw that Ah Zi was not very interested, so he was deflated, and his tone became cold.
"Sister Azi, do you still have something on your mind?" Xiaopeng finally couldn't help but ask.
Ah Zi thought that since he had already started talking and asked once, there was no need to hide it, so he simply got straight to the point and asked, "Xiaopeng, do you know what the treasure in the box is?" ”
Unexpectedly, this time, Xiaopeng lost all the momentum he had before, but scratched his head and said with a smile: "This, I really don't know ......"
After saying this, as if he was worried that Ah Zi would underestimate himself because of this, he hurriedly added: "Not only me, but among our brothers, in addition to the eldest brother, only the second brother and Sister Bao'er know the true face of the baby." ”
Speaking of this, seeing that Ah Zi suddenly raised his head, as if he was very interested in this topic, he poured all his might into the truth: "You don't know, the treasure chest is about an arm's width and boxy, not to mention the seal of the imperial court on the outside, but also wrapped tightly with iron sheets before and after, and fastened with three extremely finely crafted iron locks at the opening. And the keys to the three locks were placed on the eldest brother, the second brother and Miss Bao'er respectively.
"In other words, even if the eldest brother wants to open the box and wipe it, he must first ask for the consent of the other two."
Hearing this, I recalled the situation when Ah Brown was looking for Bao'er upstairs and Ah Zhong said that there was something to discuss, and at this moment, in that room, the three of them were discussing something, which must be inseparable from the treasure chest.
Ah Zi was thinking about it here, and in the room of the two upstairs, Ah Brown talked about Song Luyao's guess before the two of them listened to it, and there was silence in the room for a while.
After a long time, Tang Yinzhong spoke: "If someone really is eyeing us, it is impossible for them to come for that treasure chest." ”
