Chapter 204: The Jade Golden Book
Xiao Yingying looked up and saw the firelight in the distance, touched the treasure in her sleeve pocket, couldn't help but smile proudly, and hid her figure and went south.
Today, she came to the Rin County Mansion to attend a dinner, and she didn't just come to eat and drink. Before leaving, Gong Jing found her and sternly handed her a task to complete it to the best of her ability.
Gong Jing said vaguely, it doesn't matter if she doesn't do it. But if this is done, it will please one of the magnates of the Jokhang Empire. With the help of this magnate, Xiao Yingying will have much less resistance to inheriting the title of princess of Qin. After all, the foundation of this title still falls on the Jokhang Empire.
How could Xiao Yingying not go, not to mention that even her father asked someone to bring an urgent letter and asked her to do what Gong Jing instructed. She was even more glad that such a good thing would fall on her, not her good sister.
Therefore, in addition to patting Li Yi a few words of sycophants after entering the mansion, Xiao Yingying hid in a secluded place very familiarly, waiting for the connector to come to her.
Soon, a little girl with low eyebrows came over and took Xiao Yingying to a courtyard all the way. then threw out the sentence "act when the opportunity arises", and the little girl ran away, making Xiao Yingying so angry that she couldn't help it.
Luckily, the place has arrived, and the guards are not too tight. Looking through the crack in the door, Xiao Yingying saw more than a dozen palace guards gathering together to gamble money, shouting and making noise. Occasionally, there are kittens lazily patrolling, but they are also clearly absent-minded.
Seeing this, Xiao Yingying thought carefully about what Gong Jing told her, and her confidence doubled. She sneakily followed the base of the wall to the back of the courtyard, and did not dare to walk too fast for fear of alarming people, and tiptoed a few steps to see three times.
It's the first time to do this kind of thing. Xiao Yingying felt both fresh and exciting, but also inevitably a little nervous and afraid. After all, she knows that this is the Rin County Palace, and Xiao Hongluan and Rin County King are not easy to mess with.
Although he is young and his martial arts cultivation is also low, it is still no problem to climb a wall and a tree. And Xiao Yingying's body is petite and flexible, and it is easy to hide it with the help of tall trees or flowerbed ornamental stones. She also somewhat understood why she was assigned by her father to do this job.
For a moment, I entered this courtyard without danger. After entering, I found that this place was desolate and lonely. Look at the cobwebs of the pillars, the dust everywhere, and the broken window lattices. Apparently it has not been inhabited for a long time.
Xiao Yingying let go of her courage and followed the topographic map given to her by Gong Jing in her mind, and went all the way to her destination. Seven walks and eight turns. Finally arrived at a dilapidated hut in the woodsreads();.
The four were silent, and only the shouts of the guards as they gambled were faintly heard. However, Xiao Yingying still observed vigilantly, and then gently opened the rotten wooden door with a wisp of palm wind.
An unpleasant smell of stale decay hit her head-on, and Xiao Yingying was prepared. Covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief. When the smell was almost open, she cautiously entered the house.
Very simple house. The furnishings are made of ordinary wood, and the walls are lined with gardening tools such as kettles, flower scissors, etc. It seems that the people who have lived here must be able to play with the flowers and plants. In such an ordinary place, how can there be a good baby that makes the Jokhang magnates worry a lot?
Xiao Yingying shook her head. She doesn't think about it so much, she just finds things. She put on silk gloves and began to rummage, the house was really simple. Everything is clear at a glance. She searched carefully for most of the hour, but found nothing.
She was not discouraged. Start beating on the blue bricks on the ground and the red bricks on the walls. This is also Gong Jing's advice, whether the thing is really here is not certain, and whether it can be found is not very sure.
But it was really blessed by God, and this wooden house and its owner never aroused suspicion, and if there was not a pillar of incense, Xiao Yingying would have a harvest. She flipped the table over and found that the reverse side was extraordinarily thick, and it looked very different from the front. Using a dagger to cut through the reverse tabletop, she managed to open a hidden compartment and take out a special book the size of a palm.
Xiao Yingying's family is very knowledgeable, and she is by no means unlearned, and she immediately recognized this three-page book as the legendary jade version of the golden book. It is made of gold leaf for the cover and bottom, and inside it are three jade pages with ancient inscriptions.
It is said that the earliest jade gold book can be traced back to the ancient emperor's period, and the number of surviving is very small. Xiao Yingying looked through it carefully, but she didn't know any of the words on it, and there were too many words, three pages added up to thousands of words, and she couldn't be blunt and silent in a short time.
I can only talk about it after I go out, this good treasure will be handed in, but the content of the book can be translated after the fact. Xiao Yingying wrapped the jade version of the gold book in a handkerchief and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket, so that no traces would be exposed.
came out smoothly all the way, and left the courtyard over the wall, Xiao Yingying saw the fire in the distance, and she didn't know what happened, and she was very proud. When she really inherits the title of princess of Qin State, she will definitely look good at those who used to be on good terms with her in Xifu!
Xiao Yingying didn't know that there was a pair of calm and waveless eyes in the dark who had been watching her every move. Even the process of obtaining the jade version of the golden book was all watched by these eyes.
Not long after leaving the courtyard, she had just dodged and walked to a secluded place, when she suddenly tripped and Xiao Yingying fell to the ground fiercely. Her sleeve was windless, and the jade gold book hidden in it was thrown out and disappeared into the darkness.
Xiao Yingying was so frightened that she didn't have time to think about why the jade version of the golden book that was locked in her sleeve pocket fell out strangely, and she hurriedly crawled into the darkness. She fumbled around on the ground, her fingers were cut by gravel, and finally she found the jade gold book.
It's good that you didn't lose anything! Xiao Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stuffed the jade version of the gold book into her chest pocket, and she didn't care about the thin summer clothes, which was easy to be discovered. She hurriedly ran away, didn't go to the banquet place, and ran directly to the outer door of the palace.
But not long after Xiao Yingying left, a pair of mango shoes slowly walked out of the place where she had just fallen. Master Huiku muttered praises to the Buddha, and his body sank into the darkness again. His big sleeves were fluttering, and even if he contained a heavy object, it didn't show any clues, let alone a small book the size of a palm.
Zong Zhengke traveled, but on the surface, he only served a few maidservants, but secretly there was a master of bitterness who personally guarded him. She was seriously injured in Yuyan Mountain, she only thought it was a trivial matter, but she didn't know that it shook the hearts of several eminent monks, and she really didn't dare to let this kind of thing happen anymore, and Master Hui would come so quickly.
