Chapter Ninety-Three: The Secret of Horimuro
Yi Jiaren was surprised, no wonder Xiao Yuwen didn't let people into his study, it turned out that there was something else here.
She held the lamp and looked down at the entrance of the stairs, and the black hole inside could not see anything, nor could she hear any sound, and it was so quiet that people were frightened.
After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to go down.
Who knows if Xiao Yuwen has any hidden weapons in it, it is not cost-effective to lose his life if he doesn't take a single step.
Or find a chance to watch it with my brother in the future.
I was about to turn around, when I heard Xiao Yuwen shouting at the door, "What are you doing standing, go down and see, you will know my secret when you go down." ”
Just now, Xiao Yuwen went in to deliver the wine fruit, and Xiao Yuwen guessed that it was Yi Jiaren's idea to play the key to the study. She has been full of flaws recently, no wonder she is suspicious, and there are some things that should be let her know.
And after a few days of stiffness, Xiao Yuwen seems to be unaccustomed to laughing without her by her side.
But he suddenly appeared at the door and startled Yi Jiaren, "You... When did you come in? ”
"Just came in."
"You can't make a sound when you walk."
"It's just that you didn't pay attention." Saying that, Xiao Yuwen came over and took the oil lamp in her hand, and said helplessly, "Let's go, I'll take you down." ”
"You go ahead." Yi Jiaren took his hand and followed.
"Are you afraid I'm going to hurt you?" Xiao Yuwen walked in front and felt that her palms were sweaty.
"Yes, you don't have a word of truth, you have to guard against it." As he spoke, Yi Jiaren twisted the back of his hand fiercely.
"Alas!" Xiao Yuwen sighed, "You are my mother, what am I doing to you." ”
After descending the stairs more than one person high, you can reach the underground Hori room, which is separated by a wall on the left and right sides.
Xiao Yuwen lit up a few lampstands on the wall and led her into the room on the right, where there was a large box against the wall, which looked like a coffin at a glance. In the middle of the room, there is a table and a chair, on which are pens, ink, paper, inkstones and a few account books, and there are no other furnishings.
It doesn't look like a living room or a storeroom.
"What is this Horimuro for?" Yi Jiaren asked.
"Vault." Xiao Yuwen replied.
"Vault? What about gold? ”
"In the box."
"You go open it." Yi Jiaren pushed Xiao Yuwen to the wall and told him to open the box, she didn't want to see anything creepy.
"You don't trust me like that?"
"Yes, I only believe it after reading it."
"Okay, then I'll show you." Saying that, Xiao Yuwen opened the box.
Yi Jiaren stepped forward to take a look, and really saw that it was full of pearls and jade, gold and silver.
A whole box of Ambilight shines brightly and burns people's eyes.
Yi Jiaren had never seen these in her two lives combined, and suddenly forgot everything in the world, only these gold and silver in her eyes, she moved her legs and feet forward unconsciously, and sat on the edge of the box with a stupid smile on her face and took out the contents of the box to take a closer look, reluctant to put it back.
"Now you believe me, don't you?"
"Uh-huh." Yi Jiaren smiled stupidly, and came back to her senses after looking at it for a while, "Where did your family get so much money, didn't you say that your family only adds up to a thousand taels?" ”
"It's not our family, it's mine, it's my reward and reward for so many years."
Yi Jiaren was puzzled, "Yours?" What do you do as a reward and a reward? ”
Xiao Yuwen didn't rush to answer her, but asked rhetorically, "Have you heard of Xuanwumen?" ”
"I've heard of it." Yi Jiaren nodded, and suddenly there was a lot of fear in her heart.
Legend of Xuanwumen is an assassin organization of the Tianshun Dynasty, directly ordered by the emperor, with orders to go, and without orders to hide among the people to live their own lives. And no one knows if the Xuanwu Gate really exists.
"I'm from the Xuanwu Sect." Saying that, Xiao Yuwen pulled the clothes off his body to reveal the stab wounds and sword marks all over his body, which was shocking.
"Shhh Yi Jiaren took a breath of cold air and stepped back, moving farther away from Xiao Yuwen.
"Huh!" Xiao Yuwen chuckled and pulled on his clothes, "The lady is scared?" ”
Yi Jiaren didn't dare to look at him, her voice trembled a little, "You... You don't come here. ”
Xiao Yuwen also got closer and forcibly pulled her into his arms, "Lady, you don't have to be afraid of me, you are my lady, how can I hurt you." ”
His voice was extremely gentle, and the familiar fragrance of blue musk deer emanated from his body, which made Yi Jiaren feel a lot more at ease.
After a while, Yi Jiaren pushed him away again, "You got so much money, you should have killed a lot of people, right?" ”
"I've killed all the heinous people who deserve to be killed, including the hawk-faced people you saw before." Xiao Yuwen's face was a little ruthless.
"Hawkface? Is he also from the Xuanwu Sect? ”
"Yes, but he's dead."
"Die... He's dead? Yi Jiaren couldn't believe it, "When did it happen?" ”
"Twentieth of last month."
Yi Jiaren recalled, wasn't that the day he rescued himself from Xu Yuanhui, no wonder he felt weak that day.
Suddenly, Yi Jiaren was sad.
Seeing her sad, Xiao Yuwen hurriedly came over to comfort her, "Lady don't have to be too sad, how can a person live without dying, but sooner or later." ”
"Why do you say it so lightly, I think you're a cold-blooded person."
Xiao Yuwen sighed, "Do I have to cry with you so that I don't be cold-blooded?" ”
"Humph!" Yi Jiaren turned his face away and ignored him.
"Lady, haven't you always suspected that I killed people and made money from unknown sources, now you can rest assured?"
Yi Jiaren pouted and ran to the only chair to sit down, "Since you have so much money, why do you pretend to be pitiful and don't take it out to subsidize the family?" ”
Xiao Yuwen shook his head, "I can't take it, my father and mother don't know that I am from the Xuanwu Sect, and being known by them only makes them worried." And my mother spends money like water, and I am afraid that any mountain of gold will be emptied. ”
"Then why do you want to tell me, aren't you afraid that I'm worried? And I... I can also empty a mountain of gold. Saying this, Yi Jiaren blushed a little.
"It's not that you forced your husband to be tight, and ignored me for a few days." Xiao Yuwen took out a bag of silver from the box and gave it to her, and said jokingly, "My wife and I are married to each other, you should worry about me, or I won't be lonely with all this." ”
"It's not in shape." Yi Jiaren muttered that he didn't take his silver, "Why don't you leave the Xuanwu Gate now that you have so much silver, it's not cost-effective to exchange your life for money." ”
"You think Xuanwu Gate is your Yinyin Pavilion when you want to enter and exit, back then..."
Thirteen years ago, the emperor of the Tianshun Dynasty had just ascended the throne, the political situation was unstable, so he secretly set up the Xuanwu Gate, and Xiao Yuwen, who was only a few years old at the time, was selected into it by chance, and since then he has been secretly taken out every night to practice riding and archery swordsmanship. He was clever and intelligent, and at the age of twelve, he was ordered to assassinate the foreign vassal king who was trying to rebel at that time, and since then he has never missed many missions, and has won the emperor's appreciation and trust. At the same time, the emperor issued an edict that once he joined the Xuanwu Gate, he could not come out unless he died.
However, Xiao Yuwen is also happy to use this identity to do his own thing.
But he didn't say anything to Yi Jiaren, he always felt that it was not the right time.
Yi Jiaren sat at the table and listened to Xiao Yuwen's story, secretly surprised in her heart, she couldn't imagine that Xiao Yuwen's lazy appearance actually hid these unknown secrets.
But I vaguely felt that he still had something to hide.
Just think about hiding it, don't you have something to hide from him? If she wants to live here until she is old, she plans to keep it a secret, after all, her story is too shocking.
