Chapter 379: Stealing the Sky (Part II)
Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, used to describe Mr. Wen, it is really no more appropriate!
I saw that he was like a black cloud, flashing in front of Mu Ji's body, and his right hand clenched his fist and slammed into Mu Ji's throat. Mu Ji only felt a strong attack, and he didn't even let out a scream, so he flew back.
Mr. Wen grabbed his body, flipped him over with both hands, and brought him into his arms, stuck his neck with his left hand, and hugged his waist and abdomen with his right hand, so that his body could not make a single sound.
It didn't take long for Mu Ji's convulsive body to gradually settle down. When he died, he didn't understand why Mr. Wen wanted to kill him!
Mr. Wen gently put down Mu Ji's corpse with an expressionless face, and after tidying up his clothes a little, he walked to the bookcase. He opened the box on the bookcase, took out the contents, looked at them carefully for a while, and then put the contents in the box and held the whole box up.
The box was huge, about six inches in length, width and height, and there was no place for him to put it on him. Fortunately, he had been prepared, and the clothes he wore were a wide scribe's robe with a jade belt at his waist. Mr. Wen had already made his hands and feet on his clothes, which was enough to hide this big box.
After preparing to stop, Mr. Wen walked out of the palace gate, he walked very calmly, and turned around politely, and said to the palace gate: "General Mu, don't send it!" ”
After nodding to the leader of the forbidden army guarding the palace, he calmly walked with his hands behind his back and paced into the distance.
When his figure disappeared in the eyes of the forbidden guards, Mr. Wen's pace suddenly changed! He strode in the direction of the palace gate. The eunuchs and maids in the palace are all familiar with Mr. Wen, and when they see Mr. Wen walking in a hurry, they can't help but be very curious! Mr. Wen is a very personable person, he has always been unhurried and steady, why is he walking in such a hurry today?
But no one would ask him, because everyone was afraid of him!
There were originally thousands of guards guarding the palace in the palace, but some of them fought with Yuan Shu, and some of them fought with Yuan An, and the palace ban was sparse at this time. The rest of the Praetorian Guards, because they had something on their minds, were always thinking about the war outside the city, and they did not check the people entering and leaving the palace more strictly than usual. So, Mr. Wen went out of the palace smoothly!
No one knows, **In that hall, Mu Ji has become a dead corpse! Even the guards of the Praetorian Army guarding outside the door didn't know, they only knew that Mr. Wen had entered, and after staying inside for a few minutes, there was a sound of seeing off the guests from Mu Ji, and then Mr. Wen came out. A little yellow door noticed that Mr. Wen seemed to be walking a little smoothly, a little bit of a figure-eight step, as if his body was uncomfortable, and he bent over slightly!
After leaving the palace, Mr. Wen found a courtyard not far from the palace. This courtyard is the courtyard where the demon and the fifth Yu live. The two of them are Mr. Wen's henchmen, one is a confidant who has followed him for nearly twenty years, and the other is his disciple's junior.
These days, the two of them are bored waiting for Mr. Wen's news every day, and they are almost furious.
"Fifth" is a compound surname in ancient China, which is rare now, and most of them are changed to the surname "Di" or "Wu". This surname originates from the surname Qi Guotian during the Warring States Period, after Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, pacified the world, migrated to the world's wealthy families and the widows of the Six Kingdoms, because of the large number of Qi Guotian surnames, Liu Bang gave the surname, according to the batch of migration, respectively, the first, the second, until the eighth.
Wu Yu is a swordsman, and he thought that he was also a stomping foot and shaking the sky back then, but by chance, he was impressed by Mr. Wen and accepted him as a confidant, and he has been loyal to Mr. Wen since then.
Seeing Mr. Wen coming, the two hurriedly welcomed him into the room.
Mr. Wen didn't sit down, after he glanced at the two of them, his voice trembled: "You'er, fifth, let's leave immediately!" ”
You'er was stunned for a moment, but after a moment of thought, she understood what Mr. Wen was talking about, and she couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay, it's finally successful!" Then let's go right away, and when the rumors pass, we will think of countermeasures! ”
Until this time, they still had no confidence in the Xuzhou army.
The three of them did not delay long, and after they left the house, they went straight to a shop. Business in the shops was very poor, and it was no wonder that it was wartime, and no one knew when the war would end, and those who had money bought some food to store, and no one bought these expensive silk brocades.
There was only one guy in his twenties in the store, who was napping boringly, and the shopkeeper was in his forties, white and fat, with a harmless smile on his face, who was taking accounts behind the counter. As soon as they saw the visitor, the two raised their eyes in ignorance, and then returned to their original state.
Mr. Wen coughed and asked, "Excuse me, do you have any locally produced Shu brocade here?" ”
Shu brocade, as the name suggests, is produced in Shu, how can there be locally produced? This sentence sounds flawed at first glance, but it is a pre-agreed code!
When the shopkeeper and the guy heard this, they looked at each other, and the shopkeeper smiled: "Hehe, this gentleman is laughing!" Shu brocade is naturally produced in Shu, and there is also silk produced locally, and the quality is also very good. With that, he had already spun out from behind the counter.
Mr. Wen smiled and said, "Oh? Oh, that looks like I was wrong! As he spoke, he saw that there was no one around, and stretched out his hand and made a gesture.
When the shopkeeper saw it, his eyes suddenly froze, and the light in his eyes flashed, he laughed and said, "This gentleman, please come with me!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the shopkeeper and took Mr. Wen and the three into the inner courtyard.
It is a small courtyard with a shop in front, a bedroom, a living room, a stocked warehouse in the back, and a patio in the middle. The two men heard the movement and walked out. As soon as I saw the shopkeeper come in with three people, and saw the shopkeeper's eyes, I hurriedly went to the shop in front. The shopkeeper will not bring ordinary people into the backyard, because in the row of houses where the store is located, there is a living room, which is luxuriously decorated, specially prepared for guests who are talking about big business.
After entering the living room, Mr. Wen looked around the room for a long time, and with his eyesight, he could not find anything suspicious in the room.
The shopkeeper was still smiling, like Maitreya Buddha, he hugged his fists and said, "This gentleman, please take a seat!" ”
Mr. Wen shook his head and said, "No need! As he spoke, he took out the White Tiger Order and handed it to the shopkeeper.
After the shopkeeper took it, he watched it carefully for a while and handed it back to Mr. Wen.
After that, he saluted again and said, "This gentleman, may I ask what you want?" ”
At this time, the smile on the face of the smiling shopkeeper was gone, replaced by a solemn and sinister eyes, revealing a shrewdness and courage that did not match his appearance.
Mr. Wen took back the White Tiger Order and said, "I need a hiding place that can handle any search!" ”
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "How long?" ”
Mr. Wen frowned and said hesitantly, "I don't know either...... In short, wait until the outside is calm! ”
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "In that case, please follow me!" ”
With that, he turned and went into the back room.
The back room is a bedroom, and half of the room is piled up with silk in the bedroom, which shows that when there was no war, the business in this store was very good, otherwise there would not have been so many goods in the bedroom. Just when Mr. Wen thought that the shopkeeper would remove the silk, he walked to the low couch.
Removing the couch, the floor was a long, narrow and jagged plank, on which he struck three times in succession, a little pause, then twice, a slight pause, and finally three more strokes, and after a few breaths, the plank was pushed away from the inside, and a young man with a scruffy beard and sleepy eyes emerged. It seems that the man has not cleaned up his hair and beard for a long time, and he looks a little sloppy.
The shopkeeper said to Mr. Wen: "Sir, please come in!" It's top secret, and few people pay attention to it. Even if someone noticed, no one would be able to enter this place without our special methods. ”
Mr. Wen nodded and entered the secret room first.
When he entered, the door was closed again, and the shopkeeper moved the couch back to its place, so that there would be nothing wrong with it from the outside.
Mr. Wen and the three of them were very surprised. From the entrance, a sloping earthen ladder leads to a corridor below. There are several rooms on both sides of the corridor, each with a square foot, a door, a bed, and even a toilet.
The young man said, "Several, there are eight rooms here, and you can choose any one of them to live in." All the food, water, etc., will be brought every day. If you need anything, just tell me! ”
As he spoke, he handed the vegetable oil lamp in his hand to Wu Yu, bowed slightly, and turned to burrow into the room closest to the ladder.
The three of them did not immediately choose their own rooms, Mr. Wen took the oil lamp and said, "Wait a minute!" ”
Without waiting for Fifth Yu and You'er to agree, he walked into a room and closed the door.
After a while, he said, "Come in!" ”
Fifth Yu and You'er pushed the door in, only to see Mr. Wen sitting on a low couch with a beautiful wooden box placed on the low table. The wooden box is made of rosewood, inlaid with gold edges, and the wall of the box is carved with nine lifelike dragons, the dragon's eye is made of the pearl of the night, in this dark place, glowing with soft light.
The demon couldn't hide her excitement, her excited little face was a little red, and her breathing was much shorter. She pointed to the box and looked at Mr. Wen. After Mr. Wen nodded slightly, the demon hurriedly stepped in front of the short table. She crouched down and adjusted her breathing, and then slowly stretched her hands towards the box, her hands trembling slightly.
In the middle of the night, when her hands were about to touch the box, she paused slightly, as if the box was extremely hot, she flinched and took her hands back!
Halfway through, she gritted her teeth and reached for the box again. This time, she didn't hesitate, she touched the box with both hands, and after a pause of two breaths, she resolutely opened the box.
The inner wall of the box is paved with red satin, there is a thing in the box, four inches square, the color is green as blue, warm and luster, on the New York hand over five dragons, the whole body is clear. As soon as you see it, you know that it is a beautiful jade, and it is a beautiful jade with an extremely perfect texture, which can be called the treasure of the world and is invaluable.
After watching for a long time, the demon carefully took out the thing, flipped it over, and looked at the bottom. There is a horn at the bottom, which is cast in gold. The demon's gaze turned from gold to the text at the bottom, only to see eight big characters written at the bottom with bird seal script - ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!
This beautiful jade is the heirloom jade seal that was passed down from the Qin State and was considered by later dynasties to be a symbol of the orthodoxy of imperial power!
