Chapter 154: The Underground Chamber
Why did it appear in the county government again?
What was she looking for?
A series of questions lingered in Xiao Jingcong's mind, and he had no way to guess for a while.
The only thing that can be sure now is that if his guess is correct, the woman in black in front of him must be a secret agent, and it is likely that she was sent by the Northern Liang Kingdom.
However, since she has agreed to join forces with the other party, Xiao Jingcong will definitely not stab her in the back, so it is not a gentleman's doing.
Even if you want to turn your face, you have to wait until you get out of the county office.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong also followed behind the woman in black without saying a word, entered the secret door, and went down the tunnel.
It is a spiraling underground passage with artificially created stone steps at the foot, and it looks like it has been around for many years, and it does not look like it has been newly excavated.
After walking about dozens of stone steps, Xiao Jingcong and the woman in black finally walked down the stone steps, and what caught their eyes was a straight road, and the road could not see the end at a glance, and they didn't know where it led.
"How, do you want to continue exploring?" The woman in black turned her head, glanced at Xiao Jingcong, and asked with a smile on her lips.
Xiao Jingcong responded without thinking, "They have already come here, can they still go back?" If you're afraid, go first! ”
Saying that, Xiao Jingcong walked straight to the corridor in front of him.
The woman in black shook her head slightly, chuckled, and followed.
The two of them walked slowly in the corridor, one after the other.
The corridor is not spacious and can only be passed by a single person, but fortunately, there are lit candles hanging on the walls at intervals, so the inside of the corridor is not too dark.
Xiao Jingcong and the woman in black walked in the corridor for about half an hour, and finally came to the end, and what came out of the eyes was a bronze door made of bronze, which looked a little heavy, and at this moment, the bronze door had opened a gap, presumably it should have been left by Chen Xianling not long after entering.
When Xiao Jingcong walked a few steps away from the bronze gate, he stopped, turned his head and commanded the woman in black behind him.
"Then the Chen County Order may be in the door, be careful, if something happens to you, this king will never come to your rescue!"
When the woman in black heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled, "General Xiao, are you concerned about me?" That little woman has to thank General Xiao for the reminder! ”
"Don't get me wrong, this king just doesn't want you to drag me down, that's all."
After speaking, Xiao Jingcong cautiously walked to the bronze door and waited, he didn't want to startle the snake.
The woman in black also leaned over, as if she deliberately touched Xiao Jingcong intentionally or unintentionally, I don't know what her intentions were.
The two of them had been waiting outside the door for about half a pillar of incense, and the woman in black was a little impatient.
"What is that dog officer rubbing in there?" The woman in black couldn't help frowning and complaining.
"Hmph, if you're in a hurry, you can go in and take a look yourself." Xiao Jingcong turned her head and glanced at the woman in black, so close, Xiao Jingcong always felt that her eyes had seen somewhere, but she just couldn't remember it.
"Have we met somewhere?" Xiao Jingcong asked tentatively again.
The woman in black tried to keep her composure, and asked Xiao Jingcong playfully: "I said General Xiao, do you like to use such an old-fashioned way to get close to other girls?" Aren't you afraid that your princess will be jealous if she finds out? ”
"Hmph, you know everything about this king? It seems that you really investigated this king? Xiao Jingcong frowned and asked.
"General Xiao, your status is prominent, who doesn't know about your affairs in the entire capital?"
Xiao Jingcong knew that there was no way to get anything out of the mouth of the woman in black, so she simply gave up, but when the woman in black was not paying attention, Xiao Jingcong was about to reach out and tear off her black cloth, but the other party had been guarding against it, and he didn't let Xiao Jingcong succeed at all.
"General Xiao, what do you mean by this? Why do you want to take off the mask of a little woman for no reason? The woman in black grabbed Xiao Jingcong's hand and asked with an eyebrow.
Xiao Jingcong didn't answer directly, but just sneered: "What? Are you ugly and can't see people? ”
"That is, compared to your princess Xiao, how can a little woman with such a pampas and willow look be able to enter the general's eyes? But my father and mother also once confessed that the man who saw my true face wanted to marry me? General Xiao, if you are willing to be responsible for the little woman, then the little woman is willing to take off the cloth and let you taste it! ”
Saying that, the woman in black deliberately leaned forward, and got a little closer to Xiao Jingcong.
Xiao Jingcong could almost smell the bursts of aroma coming from the other party, and the startled Xiao Jingcong hurriedly took a few steps back.
And at this time, there seemed to be a rush of footsteps on the opposite side of the bronze door, and Xiao Jingcong hurriedly made a silent gesture at the woman in black, signaling her not to make a sound.
"Shhh, the Chen County Order is out." Xiao Jingcong said cautiously, then hid behind the door, quietly waiting for Chen Xianling to come out of it. Think
When Chen Xianling just took one foot, Xiao Jingcong directly raised his hand and hit Chen Xianling in the back with a knife, and Chen Xianling didn't snort and passed out.
"General Xiao's shot is really fast!"
"Don't say it, hurry up and find a rope to tie him up!" Xiao Jingcong didn't have time to joke with the woman in black, and commanded.
The woman in black shrugged her shoulders, "I'm sorry, General Xiao, I'm not your subordinate, nor your servant, I don't have to follow your orders to do things." ”
As she spoke, the woman in black stood on tiptoe and flew into the bronze door.
Xiao Jingcong gritted his teeth, cursed, carried Chen County's order into the bronze gate together, and then left him aside.
After entering, the woman in black was immediately stunned, especially when she looked at the entire basement full of all kinds of gold, silver, money and rare treasures, the woman in black almost screamed.
Even the well-informed Xiao Jingcong couldn't help frowning and scolding.
"What a Chen County order, so many people's fat and people's ointment have been looted!"
Still scolding, Xiao Jingcong kicked Chen County Ling beside him again.
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not just the people's fat and people's ointment, right?" The woman in black came to her senses, pointed to the mountains of treasures in front of her, and sighed, "Every treasure here is worth a fortune, and these gold and silver treasures, I'm afraid they can't be collected in a while......
Hearing this, Xiao Jingcong pondered for a moment and asked, "......What do you mean?"
"I think this may be a secret storehouse, and a small prefectural order is definitely not so powerful...... He must have helped his master gather it. The woman in black said her guess, and Xiao Jingcong felt that it made sense after hearing it.
"Well, you're right, the treasures stacked in this underground secret room together are almost comparable to the treasury of a royal family, and he really can't be greedy for so much money with a county order!"
"Hehe, could it be that General Xiao will agree with my little woman's opinion!" The woman in black chuckled lightly, looking meaningfully at Xiao Jingcong in front of her, full of fox.
Xiao Jingcong hurriedly turned her face away and stopped looking at her.
This woman is really terrible!
Xiao Jingcong thought for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and asked again.
"You know a lot, huh? The king is curious, what do you want to take? ”
Xiao Jingcong saw that the woman in black was unmoved in the face of so many money and treasures in front of her, indicating that she had other intentions, and she said before that she came here to retrieve something, which had to make Xiao Jingcong suspicious.
What exactly does this woman in black want to take?
When the woman in black heard Xiao Jingcong's question, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "General Xiao, this is not bothering you!" As I said, let's take what we need, and now I'm going to find what I need. ”
As she spoke, the woman in black rummaged through the basement.
Xiao Jingcong found a hemp rope tied to the box, and tied the Chen County Order to the pillar to prevent him from waking up quietly and escaping by him without paying attention.
After tying up the Chen County Order, Xiao Jingcong also plunged into the pile of treasures and began to look for useful evidence.
Xiao Jingcong first walked to the side of the silver pile, picked up a silver ingot, and carefully checked the minting time of the silver.
Sure enough, as Xiao Jingcong guessed, these silver ingots were all newly minted, and they were clearly silver taels for disaster relief.
Just when Xiao Jingcong was surprised, the woman in black said to Xiao Jingcong with a smile.
"What's the matter, General Xiao, have you seen something amazing?"
"Nothing."
Xiao Jingcong waved his hand, diverted the topic, and then said to the woman in black, "Aren't you interested in these gold and silver treasures at all? ”
"Hehe, General Xiao, you're laughing! How could anyone not be interested in gold and silver treasures? What's more, it's still a girl like me. ”
The woman in black raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jingcong in front of her, and then said happily: "General Xiao, we ordinary people are not like you who are glorious and rich as soon as you make a move. We've had hard times, so if you say I'm not interested in money, it's impossible! ”
"Hehe, you're joking, even if it's a royal family and nobleman like us, it's not what you think."
Xiao Jingcong smiled and glanced at the woman in black again, "Say, what do you want to take?" ”
The woman in black smiled faintly, "General Xiao, I don't need to tell you, right?" After all, I am just temporary partners with you and General Xiao, is General Xiao really interested in the little girl? The woman in black said and stared at Xiao Jingcong coquettishly, "General Xiao, if you are really interesting, then you have to marry Ming Media!" ”
