Chapter 070: Entering the House

The carriage drove very fast, but in three quarters of an hour it was on the side of Oxhorn Mountain. From a distance, I saw that the front was crowded with onlookers, and the officers and soldiers armed with guns and halberds kept stopping the people who were leaning forward and ordered them to retreat.

Hao Jun stepped forward immediately and talked with the guards for a few words, and the officers and soldiers immediately cleared a road and let their chariots and horses pass.

Xiao Yu looked from the window of the car, and saw that soon the gap was full of people again, crowded one after another, pointing and pointing, and it was noisy. There were some people on the periphery who couldn't squeeze in, so they simply climbed to the big tree next to them and looked at the side of the mountain.

The carriage drove past the flooded place at the foot of the mountain, came to a stop by the river, and Xiao Han helped Xiao Yu and Ling Weihan out of the car. The original wooden bridge over the river had been washed away, and several people got into small boats and came to the opposite bank, and under the escort, they went all the way to the heavily guarded mid-mountain.

Ling Yi was talking to a young man who looked like a noble son, only bowing his head slightly to a few people, and he didn't say much when he caught a glimpse of Ling Weihan and Xiao Yu.

The young man's face was like a crown of jade, dressed in a royal blue embroidered bat-pattern robe, with a jade belt and beaded shoes, and a hanging ring around his waist, which made him even more plump and handsome. Seeing that his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Li Zhen, and Ling Yi called him Li Junhou, Xiao Yu guessed that he was Li Jue's second brother Li Zhang.

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at the legendary treasure.

The rock wall exposed by the collapse of the mountain is built into a natural passage formed by the rocks, and it looks like the entrance to the cave is sealed. The location is on the left side of the slope where the slide has fallen, and you can see it from the bottom of the mountain.

Could this be the Warrior King's Treasury?

There were a few celestial masters next to them, holding a gossip plate and an official in charge of the construction of the project in Yuedi, and a group of people were busy up and down with various tools, observing the terrain, looking at feng shui, measuring various data, and preliminary exploration to estimate the size and location of this cave.

Hao Jun muttered to Xiao Yu: "It's a pity that General Zhong lost too much mental energy due to the prediction of the flash flood, otherwise why would he need such trouble?" ”

Xiao Yu smiled when he heard this, and echoed: "Yes." ”

It didn't take long for the division and officials to report the general situation, saying that judging from its layout, it should be a tomb.

Since ancient times, the burial chambers of Nanyue burials are mostly excavated from the ground down, and most of them are built by the mountains, and the mausoleums of this scale are built in the caves in the middle of the mountain, and the project is huge and very rare. So everyone almost thought it was a treasure trove before, and they were a little surprised to hear it.

"If it's a tomb, it's not small." Ling Yi said, "But if it is the Tomb of the Martial King, it is too small. ”

Li Zhang smiled: "Whether it is still inconclusive, we will know until we dig it up." ”

The official hurriedly said: "The identity of the owner of such a large mausoleum must be unusual, there should be a special structure to prevent theft and excavation, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to dig hard, so it must be carefully explored, and it is better to think in the long run." ”

Since the mausoleum has been discovered, there is no hurry to open it, and it is necessary to play the imperial court and deal with the outside world, so Ling Yi and Li Zhang agreed.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two arranged for the officers and soldiers to be strictly guarded, and ordered the results of the investigation to be reported as soon as possible, and then the group returned to the city in a mighty way.

Xiao Yu thought that he would be able to see the treasures of the previous dynasty on this trip, but he didn't dig them out, so he couldn't help but be disappointed, and felt that he had run in vain.

Ling Weihan was in high spirits, and when he met people, he said that he went to see the treasure. Ling Yan was also quite curious, and was a little unhappy that the two of them didn't call him, and when he heard that it was a mausoleum, he immediately lost interest.

In recent days, Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei bought servants to clean and tidy up the newly bought house, but a woman and two girls specialize in rough work.

When Ling Yan and Ling Yi of the General's Mansion heard the news, they gave several attendants and sent the deed of sale. Among them, Xiao Yucheng is a long-term follower; There is also Lichun, who was serving Xiao Pei in the house, and the summer solstice that followed Xiao Yu recently.

Xiao Yu wanted to refuse politely, but Ling Yan and Ling Yi were both resolute and gracious. Fortunately, the people trained by the General's Mansion are all good, and with the deed of sale in hand, it is estimated that there will be no trouble. As for the favor, it will slowly be repaid in the future.

Naturally, the cost of adding people will increase. Xiao Pei was already worried about the lack of income at home, and now he was even more distressed, so he could only comfort himself: "It will be easy to return to my hometown to do work in the future." ”

Xiao Yu laughed: "Then Sister can be trained to learn to farm." ”

"It's too difficult for them to farm, and it's okay to peel bamboo shoots and pick wild fruits." Xiao Pei remembered the experience of planting rice in the field, and then couldn't help sighing, "Now there is no field, and no matter how many people don't use it." Although it is so good here, I still miss the days in the country. ”

Now Niujiao Village is still desolate, and it is estimated that it will not be restored in three or five years, and I don't know how the government will arrange it. Xiao Yu comforted: "When I move to a new house in a few days, my sisters and brothers will find something to do, and they won't feel so unbearable." ”

"Hmm. It's an auspicious day to enter the house in a few days. Xiao Pei smiled, "It's inevitable to gossip about living here all the time." ”

Xiao Yu understood Xiao Pei's feelings, and she occasionally heard some gossip.

Many people in the mansion felt that Ling Yan and Ling Yi's courtesy to the Xiao family sisters was too much.

Although Xiao Yu gave Ling Yi a prescription for injuries to help him make a clairvoyant mirror, and once saved Ling Yan's life, not to mention that most people don't know about these things, even if they do, they may not take it to heart.

In the eyes of the world, there is a difference between the General's Mansion and the Xiao family, and Xiao Yu, especially Xiao Pei, no matter how good they are, can't afford to be treated so favorably by the general.

Although the maids in the house did not dare to disobey the orders of several masters, some people inevitably felt that the two sisters were just village girls, where were they worthy of calling people and chewing their tongues behind their backs. There are also ugly ones, and even pointed out that the two wanted to use beauty to climb high branches, so some words reached the ears of the two.

Xiao Yu was okay when he heard these words, so he didn't pay much attention to them; Xiao Pei was already a little worried, but after hearing it, he was even more worried, and it was not good to talk to Ling Yi and the others, so he couldn't wait to move out immediately.

It's a good day to move into the house in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Yucheng specially took a leave of absence, and invited familiar relatives and friends such as Uncle Zhou Qi's family, Qin Guangyu and everyone in the General's Mansion to the new residence as guests, in order to warm the house.

When he lived in the General's Mansion, Xiao Yu also returned to the countryside and mountains from time to time to pick various herbs, and now he simply returned to his old business of making fairy grass jelly. This camp has been temporarily stopped since the flash flood, and Lan Kwai Fong has urged it several times, but it is inconvenient to live in the General's Mansion, so I didn't do it.

Of course, the two sisters did the work of making fairy grass jelly themselves, and even the fairy grass was mixed with other herbs to prevent the secret recipe from being leaked.

Two days later, Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei checked whether some furniture had been added to each room in the courtyard and talked about the situation in Niujiao Mountain. In recent days, the area has been surveying and analyzing in an orderly manner, and there has been no excavation. It's just that the treasure on Niujiao Mountain is an ancient tomb, and it may be that the news of King Wu's Mausoleum has spread far and wide, attracting people from all walks of life.

In fact, such a thing is destined to be impossible to hide.

And even if the government intends to blockade it, there are hidden masters who can see it.
