Chapter 14 Stripping the Cocoon

On a moonless night, I couldn't see my fingers, and there was silence in Chang'an.

But the backyard wing of the welcome building is brightly lit!

There were three people in the wing, a strange combination of three, a Taoist priest, a peasant, and a scribe.

They didn't talk to each other, they didn't feel like strangers.

The Taoist priest kept moving, the peasant looked sleepy, but the scribe was playing chess, playing chess alone.

Dongfang Shu was restless back and forth, so disturbed, it was the first time for him, the reason for all this was Du He's sword and Du He's eyes on the sword?

That sword was not wonderful, but it made me feel that Du He was going to kill him, and that look was not sharp, but it also made me feel that he was going to kill himself.

But in fact, he didn't make a ruthless move at all, that is, he didn't dodge or dodge, and the sword would cut under his nose, and he wouldn't hurt himself in the slightest.

It was obvious that he had no intention of killing himself, but he showed that expression and slashed out such a sword.

Is the purpose of this sword to test whether you have martial arts, or is it really to scare yourself?

Of course, Du He finally said, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" He said that he did it because he cursed him a lot.

"But I always think that he said it on purpose, in order to hide his true intentions."

"If that's the case, then Duhe is really terrible, a sixteen-year-old child should have such a terrifying and meticulous mind." If he knew Du He's true age, he wouldn't be so confused.

Dongfang Shu kept muttering to himself in his heart, remembering the vague gaze after Du He walked into the mansion, and the unsteady feeling in his heart resurfaced.

"Mr. Dongfang, don't shake it, I'm dizzy!" Wei Fengyun, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but complain, he was dressed as a standard peasant, coarse linen, and even carried a hoe on his shoulder.

If he is underestimated because of his appearance, it is certain that the person who underestimates him will be very tragic and tragic.

His hoe not only digs the ground, but also digs people's heads.

"You can rest assured, the world is afraid of ghosts, and no one is not afraid of ghosts! My trick is foolproof. "Although all the layouts were drawn up by Dongfang Tree, the idea of scary ghosts was thought by Wei Fengyun. He himself did not possess such intelligence, but he once discovered this secret by accidentally digging up a skeleton while plowing the field, and cutting the bones of the other party with a hoe.

"I hope so!" Dongfang Shu responded, and his expression was still difficult to calm down.

Yu Wenchen was comfortable playing chess alone, but he opened his mouth and said: "Anything is a chess game, one wrong step, and you will lose the whole game." In the eyes of Brother Dongfang, will Du He be a chess piece that can kill you? ”

Dongfang Shu sighed: "I can't say for sure, it's just that this person is extremely not simple, especially since I recently inquired about his news." even found out that he was extraordinary, what kind of character Li Er was, even the lord of the year was inferior to him. Even he takes such a fancy to Duhe, which shows that this person is different. I'm so worried that he'll see what we're trying to do, and find the treasures, and we've been planning for years to be ruined. Datang is getting stronger and stronger now, and Li Er is also the will of the people, and the more time drags on, the more unfavorable it is for us. We don't have time to wait. ”

Yu Wenchen put Bai Zi on the chessboard and said with a smile: "You can rest assured of this, unless Du He digs nine feet into the ground, otherwise it is impossible for him to find that thing, even if he finds the entrance, he will definitely die if he enters rashly, I can be sure of this." ”

As he spoke, hurried footsteps sounded. A short time later, a skinny figure as a monkey ran in and whispered, "Oh no, they've found us!" ”

Dongfang Shu and Wei Fengyun's expressions changed drastically, and the chess pieces in Yu Wenchen's hands also fell on the chessboard.

"Hou Peng, let's make it clear, what's going on?" Dongfang Shu asked in a deep voice.

Hou Peng hurriedly said: "As before, Zhang Xiong shot an arrow and I received an arrow on the other side, just when he shot the fourth arrow, the arrow feather used something unknown to the other party to shoot down, and then a group of people rushed to Zhang Xiong's hiding place. I didn't dare to approach, so I could only see from a distance that Zhang Xiong had fallen to the ground. A group of them lay in ambush and waited for them. I'm afraid that our affairs have been exposed. ”

Although Dongfang Shu was difficult to take care of himself before, at this critical moment, when he needed to make a decision, he calmed down, acted as the duty of this think tank, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, things may not be as bad as imagined, and they may not find out our true intentions." In my opinion, it is likely that it is because I don't believe in ghosts, and it is set up to catch ghosts. If we mess up first, we will let the other party notice. ”

Dongfang Shu knew that this possibility was only thirty percent, but in order to calm everyone's hearts, he could only say this.

As soon as he said this, Hou Peng also calmed down a little and asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”

"Withdraw!" Dongfang Shu said: "The sooner the better, with Du He's intelligence, I believe that Zhu Dongjia's body will be found soon." Our identities cannot be revealed, they are in the light, we are in the dark, as long as he does not let him find our traces, even if he has great ability, he will not be able to help us. ”

"What about Zhu Dongjia?" Wei Fengyun clenched the hoe in his hand, and a strong killing intent burst out of his eyes.

"He's out of the way!" Dongfang Shu smiled confidently, "He is not one of us, everything keeps us in the dark, there is no point in killing him, but it will create a murder and attract people's attention." Keeping him is just right to divert Du He's attention and let Du He find his body, in vain. ”

And they said yes, and they dispersed, ready to go.

Dongfang Shu grabbed Yu Wenchen and said, "Of course, the most dangerous possibility can not be ruled out!" Everything must be prepared with both hands, Brother Yuwen, the secret passage was dug under your command, and the Pei Mansion was also built under your command. Earlier you said that Du He found the entrance to the secret passage, and he was unable to find the treasure, is this the case? ”

Yu Wenchen said with a smile: "Don't hide it, sir, the entrance to the secret passage is buried nine feet underneath, when it was first built, I set up a vent in the secret place, so you can breathe freely." But nine years ago, His Majesty expanded Chang'an, in order to prevent the secret passage from being noticed, I blocked the vent of the secret passage, and at this moment the secret passage has become a tomb, and it is difficult for people to breathe. ”

Dongfang Shu also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is enough to rest assured." ”

Du He's question made Lawyer Pei and Princess Linhai feel strange, each showed a look of surprise, looked at each other, and thought, "Could it be that something is wrong with Pei's Mansion?" ”

Du He knew that they were thinking a lot, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, don't get me wrong, I just think it's a little strange!" Your mansion is good, but it's not the best. I don't know if the mansion of the person behind the scenes is not chosen, but the one that you choose. ”

Lawyer Pei was stunned, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt: "That mansion was given to my father not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, and I have lived there for ** years, and such a strange thing has never happened, at first I really thought it was haunted!" ”

Du He pretended to casually ask who the owner of the house was?

Lawyer Pei said: "No one else is my father!" General Du doesn't remember? Oh...... Yes, the general got lost soul, and it's no wonder that he forgot. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he made great efforts, and my Tang Dynasty became a prosperous era in just a few years. At that time, Chang'an was saturated and overflowing, and His Majesty expanded Chang'an City. At that time, the area where we were located was completely bulldozed and rebuilt because of poor planning. I remember that the mansion was still Master Yu Wenkai at that time, and Yu Wenchen was personally responsible for supervising the construction. Therefore, before my father, the mansion was uninhabited. ”

Du He sighed secretly, Li Shimin's shovel cut off all the news, and he couldn't find the original owner, so naturally he couldn't find out who hid what the mysterious organization was looking for.

He knew that he couldn't find out any news from Lawyer Pei's mouth, so he took his leave and left.

On the way home, Du He looked strange, always feeling as if he had overlooked something important, but he couldn't remember it just a little bit.

What exactly went wrong?

Returning to the mansion, looking at the grass and trees in the mansion, I thought that this mansion had only existed for ten years, no wonder it didn't make people feel old, as if it were new. Thinking like this, his expression was shocked, and his mind was like a lightning bolt, and his thoughts were clear.

That's not right!

If this mansion is completely bulldozed and rebuilt, then everything is right because the thing is wrong?

How could the other party be so sure that the thing was hidden in Pei's Mansion, and Pei's Mansion had been bulldozed and newly built, which also meant that the thing was not hidden in the mansion, but underground. How can they be sure that this Pei Mansion is where they buried their things?

What's more, when this land was bulldozed, there should have been hundreds of people working together to build it, why didn't they notice it?

"There is only one explanation, the thing is buried very deeply, and the entrance is very tight, not easy to detect, and the most important thing is that the key places have been left behind, and in order to facilitate identification, they have not been removed."

He hurried to the backyard and his eyes fell on the pond in the backyard.

It is easy to dismantle and build houses, but it is extremely difficult to build this pond in Fuzhong, especially the pond in Peifu is still living water, not only to connect the ditch at the top, but also to open up the downstream exit channel to ensure that the water can flow smoothly into the water.

Once such a project is filled in, it will be difficult to dig such a beautiful pond.

To be sure, the only place in the mansion that was not damaged by demolition was this pond.

If there is a pond as a reference, it is indeed possible to determine the location of the buried thing, and even the treasure is hidden under the pond.

Du He saw that the sky was slightly bright, and immediately divided the troops into two ways, first asked Huangfu Haohua to take someone to find the Zhu Dongjia and invite him, but it was really not possible to use the strong, and he waited until the dawn to go down to the pond to investigate.

At dawn, Du He put on a water back, took a torch with waterproof paper, and jumped into the pond, only to find that the pond was nine feet deep, and it was three meters deep.

"There must be a cat in this pond," he said, with a slight joy in his eyes, and went deeper.
