Chapter 417: Promise
In order to hide the divine jade, Chen Xun exerted all his ingenuity, and since the person had been burned to death, many details could only be guessed by Huai En afterwards.
Chen Xun has been in charge of his own room for many years, and often goes to other rooms to go around, and happened to see an official document in the first room, the content is very simple, and there is no secret, it is the Jinyi Wei craftsman who sent a batch of armor according to the routine, please sign for it.
This is one of Liang Xiu's daily chores, signing and stamping casually, he didn't expect this batch of armor to be used.
There are many brocade armor guards, often in the warehouse for a few years, or even more than ten years, so Chen Xun went to the armor factory, in the name of inspection, put the jade in a box.
Shenyu entered the treasury of the Jinyi Guard's yamen with the box, and if it wasn't for an accident, it was likely that it would not be discovered inadvertently until many years later.
The accident came from the Five Elements Sect, and many of the craftsmen of the Jinyi Guard joined the sect, remembering that they had seen Chen Xun before, and remembered the long hair mole on his chin, and at that time they were still puzzled, why did Nan Si suddenly send a clerk who was not very familiar with him to check the armor.
The Five Elements Sect got the news, but they couldn't enter the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and their search for jade quickly attracted the attention of Dongchang and had to stop temporarily.
As early as more than ten days before Hu Guiyang's return to Beijing, Huai En asked for all the new armor from the Jinyi Wei treasury through the imperial horse supervisor, searched in person, and finally found Shenyu.
The process was neither thrilling nor complicated, but it was strictly kept secret, and even Dongchang did not know about it, and Shang Ming was still urging his subordinates to look for jade everywhere.
"Huai Gong is sure that is really a divine jade? It was no different from a normal jade pendant. ”
"The whole body is pure white, and it is slightly cool to start, is this it?"
"Sounds like that, congratulations to Huaigong." Hu Guiyang said with a smile, seeing that Huai En was reluctant to speak again, so he said again: "Huai Gong came to me, is it a method to absorb divine power?" I really don't have this, and I don't know anything about He Sanchen's whereabouts. ”
Wynne shook his head and remained silent.
Hu Guiyang had no choice but to wait and drink tea in one gulp.
After a long time, Huai En took out an iron box from his arms and put it on the table, "I invite Captain Hu to come, I want to ask you to take charge of Shenyu." ”
When Shenyu was found, Hu Guiyang was not particularly surprised, but Huai'en's request was completely unexpected, and he couldn't even drink the tea that was brought to his mouth.
"You open it and take a look." Wynn said.
Hu Guiyang put down the teacup, picked up the iron box and opened it gently, the box was inlaid with wood, and there was a thick layer of flannel, and a jade pendant was placed in the middle, he didn't need to reach out to touch it, he knew that it must be a divine jade.
Hu Guiyang closed the iron box, pushed it back in front of Huaien, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to, but I really don't dare." ”
"Don't dare?"
"There are too many people who want divine jade, and whoever holds it in their hands will be targeted by everyone."
"Few people know that the Divine Jade has been found, let alone that it is back in your hands."
Hu Guiyang still shook his head, "What I'm afraid of is 'few people know', why is the person who found Shenyu Huaigong?" Why put me in charge? To tell you the truth, I felt like I was going to fall into a trap. ”
Wynne smiled, "So that's what you're worried about. The Divine Jade fell into my hands because I had acquaintances in the Five Elements Sect. ”
"Dade?" Seeing that Huai En had no intention of saying his name, Hu Guiyang guessed one.
"Guess what's right?"
"Dade's name is similar to Huaigong's, and his appearance is also a little similar, which is his real surname?"
"My original surname is Dai, and I have been in the palace since I was a child, and my name has been changed to Huai'en."
"I see."
Huai En explained how he got the Divine Jade, pointed to the iron box and continued: "This thing is very strange, I have never been to Yunyang Mansion, I have never touched Jindan, and I have never learned strange exercises, but it still has an effect on me, I only wear it for one night, I feel as if I am ten years younger." ”
"Chen Xun didn't go to Yunyang Mansion either, and even became a martial arts master after coming into contact with Shenyu."
"It's ominous."
"Doesn't Huai Gong want to be young?" Hu Guiyang asked with a smile, feeling that this eunuch was very special.
Wynne stared at the iron box on the table, "Everyone wants to be young, that's why I'm afraid." ”
The two looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing at the same time.
"It's really unfortunate that Shenyu fell into the hands of two people who were afraid of it." Hu Guiyang took back the iron box, opened it again, looked at it, and then closed it.
"It's rare that Captain Hu is not tempted by Shenyu, and he hasn't touched it much for nearly three years, which I can't compare. In just more than ten days, I am already a little reluctant, if Captain Hu does not come back, I really don't know what to do with it. ”
"Didn't Huai Gong think about offering it?"
Huai'en's expression changed slightly, "I said that this thing is ominous and must not stay in the palace. ”
Hu Guiyang saw the emperor's search for Dan acupoints and divine power with his own eyes, and of course he understood how much temptation Shenyu had for the emperor, which was also the reason why Shang Ming, Li Zixing and others tried their best to find and offer jade.
"If possible, it's better - destroy it." Wynne let out a sigh.
"Jiang Yun said that you can destroy the divine jade with ground fire, some people don't think so, but you can give it a try."
"Jiang Yun was introduced to Your Majesty by me and Shang Shaobao, but I didn't expect it...... It's up to you to try to destroy the jade. ”
Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "This is indeed a trouble, many people are staring at me, the divine jade is here with me, it may not be able to be kept for long, and as for going out of Beijing to find the earth fire, there is no chance." Huaigong, thank you for your trust, but I can't take the jade, you better find someone else. ”
"If you don't take the Divine Jade, I can only offer it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is obsessed with immortal arts, if you get the Divine Jade, I am afraid that you will concentrate on cultivation from now on, and you will never ask about the major affairs of the world again. The so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, and the divine jade can make people young, and it is likely that there are other bad effects, just like the original alien, those who have divine power must have diseases. If Your Majesty has any chances, the court will be in chaos, and even the people of the world will be harmed. If something like this happens, you and I are both responsible. ”
"Huh? Why am I also responsible? ”
"Because you once had the opportunity to destroy the Divine Jade, but you refused to do it."
Hu Guiyang scratched his head again, "I'm just a school captain, what you said is 'just in case', maybe it will only be good for Your Majesty." ”
Wynne shook his head, "'What if' is just a statement, you and I know that Shenyu can't only be beneficial." ”
Hu Guiyang thought about it, "If I go to destroy the jade, what can you do to help?" ”
"You hide the divine jade first, you choose the location, and don't even tell me."
"I've lost it once." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
"Then hide it more secretly. When the limelight passes a little, I will find a way to send you to Shanxi, Jiang Yun once gave me a map, on which there are several locations of the earth fire, you go there to destroy the jade. ”
"Sounds easy, but what if' I get caught? Can you save me? ”
Wynne was silent for a while, "You have to save yourself, I can't interfere, and you can't confess me." ”
"You won't admit it."
Wynne nodded.
Hu Guiyang smiled bitterly: "This is not a beauty difference, in order to save the 'common people in the world', do you have to let me take a risk?" ”
"It's an exaggeration to say that it will save 'the people of the world', but it will definitely save many lives. His Majesty ...... "Huai En is an extremely cautious and loyal eunuch, don't say disobedient words, even if you think about it in your heart, you feel that the crime is extremely evil, but now you have to say, "Your Majesty obviously can't withstand the temptation of the divine jade, in order to take out the divine power, he will do whatever it takes." ”
"No one has found a way to obtain divine power yet, and He Sanchen is just a rumor."
"There are always some rumors that are true, according to all the current rumors, if you want to take out the divine power, you must use the power of a large number of mortals, similar to the ascension of the Heavenly Machine Ship."
Hu Guiyang scratched his head for the third time, "If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have returned to the capital." ”
"I know Captain Hu doesn't believe this, but there is a providence in the dark."
"Hehe, the idea of you powerful people is 'providence', under an order in the palace, the homes of ordinary people are turned upside down, Huai Gong came up with an idea, but it was me who risked his life. There were already people who suspected that the divine jade was hidden by me, but this time it was confirmed. ”
"This is also a way out of the question, Captain Hu is not the kind of greedy person, so I won't promise anything, I just hope that you can have great compassion and good thoughts, and save one more person is one person......"
"You'd better give me some practical promises, at least to make me look less stupid."
"Haha, you want to be an official?"
"Forget it, it's too tiring to be an official."
"You want to get rich?"
"Yes, but some people have already said that they want to give me silver, and I can't spend too much."
"And what do you want?"
Hu Guiyang pondered for a while, "You have the highest status as a eunuch in the palace?" ”
"So to speak."
"Your Majesty trusts you very much?"
"Your Majesty values my selflessness, so what I am doing now must not be known to Your Majesty."
"Huh. I heard that you have tried to persuade your majesty and saved many people. ”
"Some, and it depends on luck, it has to be that Your Majesty thinks this person is forgivable, and my advice is useful."
"That's what I want."
Wynne was stunned, "Who do you want to save?" ”
"I don't know yet, it could be me or someone else."
Wynne pondered for a moment, "If you are caught because of Shenyu, I can't save you." ”
"Shenyu doesn't count."
"Okay, no matter when, as long as Captain Hu makes a request, no matter who that person is, I will try my best to save it, if there is the slightest excuse, or the slightest lack of dedication, teach me to be a eunuch for the whole world and a slave for generations."
It's a poisonous oath.
Hu Guiyang picked up the iron box, got up and said, "What I believe is not an oath, but the person Huaigong." ”
Huai En also got up, "In the same way, I also believe that Captain Hu is a person, if the divine jade can be destroyed, it will be destroyed, and if it can be hidden, if it is exposed, I have no complaints, I can only say that the will of heaven is like this, and extraordinary people can resist it." ”
Hu Guiyang took the iron box into his arms, "Let's not talk about anything else, let's see if I can return home safely." ”
"Walk slowly, don't send." Wynne's status is too high, and it is impossible to send a Jinyi captain in person.
Hu Guiyang said goodbye and ran into Wei Ying not far away.
"Did Captain Hu talk to Huai Gong well?" Wei Ying asked with a smile.
"What else?" Hu Guiyang sighed first, and then asked in confusion, "Why do you all think I can find the Divine Jade?" ”
Wei Ying thought that what she expected was good, and said with a smile: "Who made Captain Hu often come up with strange tricks and take effect every time?" Wei Ying came closer and said in a low voice: "The factory will go back to Beijing a year ago, and I really want to find Shenyu in person." ”
"What about over there?" Hu Guiyang looked at the room where Huai En was.
"Don't worry, the factory can solve it, no matter what you say over there, you just promise to come down."
"You said, then I agreed."
"As I said, as long as you can retrieve the Shenyu, the factory will take care of it for you, and will never offend anyone."
Hu Guiyang sighed again, showed an extremely helpless expression, and said goodbye.
There was nothing to do all the way, Hu Guiyang took Shenyu back to Zhao's house, and as soon as he entered the door, the cake immediately ran from a distance and threw himself into the master's arms, more excited than not seeing him for a few years.
Hu Guiyang had no choice but to hug the flatbread tightly and scolded in a low voice: "Eat me, drink me, don't make trouble for me." ”
The flatbread was finally quiet, and after going down to the ground, he followed his master, not leaving an inch.
Hu Guiyang ate as usual, fortunately, he didn't need to be served by others when he slept, stripped off his clothes, put the iron box next to his pillow, and spent all night thinking about how to hide better than Chen Xun.
