Chapter 17 Overnight Stay in the Ancient Temple Jiangnan Cao Gang

In the Wugong Temple, everyone found a comfortable position and clothes to sit on.

Mu Yixue and Zhou Rong leaned together, and Murong Jia and Qinghu spread their skins and cloaks on the ground and lay on them with their feet crossed, and within a moment they were already asleep.

Yi Xue couldn't help but smile when she saw Murong Jia and Qinghu like this, she was worthy of being a nomad, even if she was a prince, she could sleep with a quilt and a bed.

And Sima Jingwen may not be accustomed to the environment in this dilapidated temple, standing at the entrance of the temple without rest for a while, and cultivating beyond the temple to be vigilant.

Gu Rong looked at Mu Yixue, who was half-asleep with his eyes closed and a little tired on his face, opened his mouth and endured it again.

After a while, Zhou Rong, who was leaning on Yi Xue's body, moved, and Yi Xue opened her eyes and re-covered her with a cloak.

Gu Rong finally couldn't hold back and called softly: "Miss Yi Xue." ”

Mu Yixue replied softly: "Lord Gu hasn't fallen asleep yet?" ”

"Well, I don't know what to ask, so I can't sleep."

"Lord Gu, please speak"

"What is a tap stone?"

"The tap stone is to dig a stone trough behind the stone door of the underground palace, and stand a large stone pillar on it, after the underground palace seals the door, the stone pillar standing in the groove will be obliquely inserted into the gap between the two doors of the underground palace, and the door will be blocked, and outsiders will not be able to open it."

"If you want to enter this underground palace, what is the way?" Gu Rong straightened up.

"It must be opened by a special nail tube key, insert this nail tube into the phoenix eye of the stone door, the nail tube will be lassoed around the stone pillar, slowly push hard, the stone pillar stands up, and the stone door of the underground palace will automatically open."

"The Caoyun Wharf will transport grain into the underground palace, there must be a nail pipe key to open this mechanism, I'm afraid we will have to wait for them to transport the grain." Gu Rong said.

When Yi Xue heard Gu Rong's words, she shook her head and pondered.

Seeing that Yi Xue no longer spoke, Gu Rong asked, "Does the girl feel inappropriate?" ”

"I'm worried that our entry into the cemetery has alarmed the people at the Caoyun Wharf, presumably their master will not come to transport the grain so quickly, and it is impossible for this batch of grain to be left for several months."

After listening to Yi Xue's words, Gu Rong nodded in agreement: "What the girl said is good, if you don't find the grain, there will be no stolen goods, and even if you know that these grains were robbed by the Yangzhou Mansion and Caoyun Wharf in collusion, it is impossible to prove it." ”

"Yes, it won't take us so long, and when it is time for King Langya to return to Beijing to recover his life, this case will become a headless case. Therefore, we must rely on our own ability to open this dungeon. When Yi Xue said this, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Girl, I still have a question, this underground palace must have been for nearly two hundred years, and it is the place where the coffin is placed. Can food sit out for so long? ”

"Since the mechanism of the underground palace is re-set up, presumably they have already stolen the burial items of the underground palace, although the underground palace places the coffin, but the pattern of the yellow intestine inscription can be kept closed and dry, we have not even seen the pottery with the burial, presumably they have already been cleaned up. As long as the ground is re-covered with fine sand and charcoal, and the outside is blocked by a stone door, it is no problem to leave the grain for a few months. ”

"Looks like we still need to find Luofeng Villa." Gu Rong sighed and said.

"I only said that this Luofeng Villa was founded by the descendants of Pang Tong in Shu, and after the destruction of the Shu Han, it moved from the south of the Yangtze River, which is very mysterious, can Lord Gu know a thing or two?" Yi Xue asked.

"Luofeng Villa and my Suyi Sect are both the leading sects in the south of the Yangtze River, but there is no contact, Luofeng Villa moved from Shu to Jiangdu, the current owner is called Pang Qing, the legends on the rivers and lakes continue, but no one has ever seen the true face of Pang Qing."

"Master Gu, do you know how to find this Luofeng Villa?"

"There are two ways to find Luofeng Villa: one is to hold the phoenix talisman, which was sent out by the owners of the villa in the past dynasties, and when you see the phoenix talisman, you will respond to your request; The other is to pay for things, that is, when there is a request for Luofeng Villa in the rivers and lakes, through the Feng envoy to the rivers and lakes, the Feng envoy introduces the elder to say what he wants, and the elder judges whether to see the owner, if he thinks that he can see the owner, then the guest will be introduced into the Luofeng Villa. Then, according to what is requested, the corresponding price is determined. ”

"This Jiangdu is not far from Jianye, and it must be an outstanding person."

"That's right, the scenery of Jiangdu is beautiful, Luofeng Villa is in Jiangdu, that is, far away from the bustling, and convenient for the ears and eyes, since this Luofeng Villa can take over the business of the rivers and lakes, there must be a way to seek." Gu Rong stood up as he spoke, straightening his waist.

"Then let's go to Jiangdu to find Luofeng Villa!" Sima Jingwen suddenly turned around, and under the faint moonlight, there was a handsome and tense face.

Huaiyin Caoyun Twelve Halls, Enyi Hall.

Master Zhang is checking the matter of returning to the tomb of King Shanyang to the chief helmsman.

Hearing this, Cha Yong was so angry that he jumped up from the Taishi chair, and the muscles on his black and red face twitched continuously: "Of the thirteen brothers who were dispatched, none of them came back?" ”

"Yes, none of them came back." A middle-aged man dressed in Confucian clothes, tied with a belt, and wearing a scarf, looked like a scholar, and replied.

Cha Yong picked up the teacup on the table and fell to the ground.

Then he sat back on the Taishi's chair and said angrily: "This time, the people sent are all brothers with strong martial arts in the alliance, what kind of person can solve them all?" ”

His muscular body squeaked the chair, and although the Caoyun Wharf occasionally missed, it did not suffer so much.

"Back to the chief helmsman, the specific identities of these people are unknown, and we are also on the orders of Gao Bin, to monitor the movements of the end of the mouth within this month, if there are strangers to investigate, we will keep an eye on their movements, if these people are close to the tomb of the king of Shanyang, they will not be left alive."

"And what have these people found out?" Zha Yong asked.

"They have gone into the tomb, and two of their brothers have been killed in the tomb."

"Did they find the dungeon?"

According to the brothers who sent out, only the tomb door had not been closed, and there were no other visions. Presumably, they were shocked by our people before they discovered the underground palace, so they left in a hurry, and left before the tomb door was closed. Master Zhang said cautiously, for fear of angering Zha Yong again.

Hearing Master Zhang's reply, Cha Yong stood up from the Taishi's chair and walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back.

Master Zhang obediently stood next to the Taishi's chair, not daring to say more.

Cha Yong turned around and pointed at the master with his finger: "You repair the book to Gao Bin and ask when their goods will be shipped away?" What do I count with these brothers who have been broken? ”

"Yes, my subordinates are going to do it?" After Master Zhang finished speaking, he retreated.

In the evening of the same day, Assassin Shi Bei Gaobin received a letter from Zha Yong.

After reading Zha Yong's report, Shi Li asked, "What does Lord Bo think of this?" ”

Gao Bin stroked his beard, bent his triangular eyes, and said with a pout: "Looking at this situation, the person who investigated the tomb of Mokou and King Shanyang should be King Langya." This King Langya is really cunning, that day they went out of the city to the direction of Guangling, we sent people to follow, only followed their entourage, but they did not see King Langya and Gu Rong. Now it seems that they must have changed their clothes when they left the city and got rid of our people, but fortunately, I asked Cha Yong to pay attention to the movements of Mokou and the tomb of King Shanyang in advance. ”

Shi Li's face sank like water, picked up the cup on the table, just brought it to his mouth, and put it down heavily: "I didn't expect this Langya King to be able to find the tomb of Mokou and King Shanyang." If they already know the article here, I am afraid that the theory of Yin soldiers borrowing food will not be reliable. ”

Gao Bin stroked his beard again: "Don't worry, sir, according to Cha Yong, King Langya has not yet discovered the underground palace, as long as they can't find food, they can't find evidence, even if they know that the Yin soldiers borrowed food is false, but they are helpless." ”

"What if they find the dungeon?" Shi Li asked.

"If they really found the dungeon, the stone gate would block everything. And this tap stone is set up by Luofeng Villa, and the nail pipe key to open is in Zha Yong's hand. Without this nail tube, the stone door would not have been opened no matter what. When Gao Bin said this, his face showed a look of pride.

"Well, you have a point. Zha Yong asked us when we would transport the grain, what do you think? ”

"Since this King Langya can find the underground palace, he must have guessed the problem of the underground palace, and he will definitely send someone to guard the underground palace, so we don't have the time to transport it out yet, even if we can transport the food out, it will be difficult to find a suitable hiding place for a while."

"You mean to put it for now?"

"My subordinates think that this underground palace is the safest, as long as they can't enter, we might as well leave it for a few months, I don't believe they guard it every day. Then March is Yuanchen (Spring Festival), King Langya must return to Beijing before Yuanchen to resume his life, then this King Langya in order to give an explanation to the court, must continue to borrow grain from the Yin soldiers as a reason. ”

When Gao Bin said this, he squinted his triangular eyes and laughed darkly.

When Shi Li heard this, he also nodded and said with a smile: "What you say is reasonable, just do what you say, as long as they can't find food within two months, they can only go back to recover according to the Yin soldiers' words about borrowing food." Tell Cha Yong that he will not be shipped out for three months, and that you will send them ten more minas of gold to comfort his dead brothers. ”
