"A bunch of wine bags and rice bags!"

Qin Xu, the king of Jin, slapped the table and said angrily, "More than 20 people went to chase and kill more than 10 people, but they failed?!" ”

The staff hurriedly knelt down: "Lord Wang, please calm your anger!" It's not that our people can't do it, originally we had the upper hand, but then a group of secret guards with strong martial arts came to the princess's side......"

"Why are there so many secret guards all of a sudden?"

Qin Xu furrowed his brows.

The staff broke out in a cold sweat: "Maybe the prince asked people to secretly follow and protect the crown princess?" ”

Qin Xu narrowed his eyes and secretly said that you are a prince!

He said coldly: "Can you expose your identity?" ”

"The people sent out are all dead soldiers, and their identities will never be revealed, please rest assured."

Qin Xu's eyes were gloomy, and he knocked on the table with a paperweight in his hand: "How is the search on the hillside outside the city going?" Have you found the exit to the secret passage? ”

The staff couldn't help but wipe their foreheads with their sleeves: "According to the orders of the prince, additional people have been sent to search around the hillside outside the city, and there will be news soon." ”

"It's just a hillside, and this king can't believe that he can't find the exit of the secret passage!"

Qin Xu slapped the paperweight on the table, which shook the staff's hearts and livers, "What the prince said is that the little one will be able to find the exit tomorrow." ”

"When you find the exit, come back and report it immediately."

Qin Xu waved his hand to make the staff stand back.

The staff retreated, and Qin Xu half-closed his eyes and thought about things.

Old lady Shen was terminally ill, Shen Cong was in love again, and the prince and the princess rushed to Yangzhou stupidly, just so that he could serve it in a pot.

With Jinshan and the opponent of the prince, Daqing will be his sooner or later.

A hint of a gloomy smile floated to the corners of his mouth, Qin Xu half-opened his eyes, his eyes flashing sharply.

God seemed to hear Qin Xu's heart, and tilted the balance of luck in his direction.

At noon on the second day, the staff happily ran back and reported: "Lord Wang, I have found the secret passage!" ”

Qin Xu's eyes lit up, he put down the letter in his hand, and stood up on the ground: "Found it?" Did you follow the secret passage to find the vault? ”

"Back to the prince," the staff said busily, "the exit of the secret passage is extremely hidden, and the secret passage is narrow and long, and someone has already been sent into the secret passage to find the vault." ”

"Little one is thinking about this, and I have to come back to report it to you, because I don't know if I have found the vault now."

Qin Xu smiled and patted the staff on the shoulder: "Well done, go, this king will go and see it himself." ”

The hillside to which the secret road of Shenfu leads is not particularly far from the gate of Yangzhou City, but it is located in a remote area, and there is no official road, and very few people usually go over.

The staff took Qin Xu and the guards along the hillside path all the way up: "Lord Wang, this hillside is overgrown with weeds, and there was not even a road at the beginning, but the guards walked too much and walked out of the road." ”

Qin Xu glanced around noncommittally, and secretly said that Old Lady Shen is calculating, this hillside is desolate and inhabited, but it is not far from the official road.

If you want to transport the vault out of Yangzhou City from the secret passage, this place is an excellent location as an exit.

"How many people have been sent into the secret passage?"

After walking for two quarters of an hour, I finally reached the exit of the secret passage.

Qin Xu's men were standing all around, and when he heard his question, the captain of the guard team hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Back to the prince, my subordinates have arranged for twenty guards to go in to investigate, and there is no news yet." ”

"It's far away from Shen Mansion here, I'm afraid it will take some time to come and go."

Qin Xu narrowed his eyes: "Send another twenty people in." ”

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, there was finally movement at the exit of the secret passage.

Rushing out was one of the guards who entered first, he had a sharp arrow stuck in his arm, and there were a few colors on his body, he panted: "Lord Wang, there is a mechanism at the end of the secret passage, and we have lost a lot of brothers." ”

Qin Xu raised his eyebrows.

The staff arched their hands: "Lord Wang, if there is a mechanism, I'm afraid we have found the right place!" ”

Qin Xu bowed his head invisibly, and he thought the same way.

Old lady Shen is scheming, and she will not let people find the vault easily.

"Send more people, be sure to open the secret passage as soon as possible!"

At the sound of an order, the captain of the guard immediately arranged for men to enter the secret passage. On the one hand, the casualties were dragged out of the secret passage, and on the other hand, additional personnel were sent to continue the investigation.

As the number of guards who were carried out gradually increased, Qin Xu's face gradually condensed.

"Lord Wang, there are too many mechanisms in the secret passage, and we have lost a lot of people......"

The chief of the guard nervously reported.

Qin Xu glanced at the desperate guards and injured people piled up on the side, and said coldly, "Continue to send more people." ”

Even if he fills it with human life, he has to find Old Lady Shen's vault!

After another half an hour, a guard finally ran out of the secret passage with an excited look.

"Lord Wang, I've found the vault!"

Qin Xu took a step forward: "Say it carefully!" ”

"The subordinates passed through the mechanism of the secret passage, and came to the end of the secret passage, and there was a stone door. The stone gate is heavy, I am afraid that it will take gunpowder to blow it up, and the subordinates are afraid that the Shen Mansion will not dare to blow up the stone gate without authorization. ”

"Then how do you know that there is a vault behind the stone gate?" Qin Xu asked urgently.

The guard hurriedly said: "The subordinates and others discussed coming back to ask the prince whether to use gunpowder, before coming out, several subordinates did not give up and pushed the stone door together, and as a result, the stone door was pushed open a gap......

"Through the cracks?" Qin Xu interrupted him.

The guard nodded hurriedly: "The subordinates saw that there were wooden boxes piled up behind the stone gate, and one of them was probably cracked because it had been too long, and it could be seen that the wooden box was full of gold bricks." ”

"Good!"

Qin Xu clapped his hands excitedly, and the depression that had been in place for several days was swept away, and he thought for a moment and said, "Count the personnel, leave enough people to guard here, and then send fifty people to come over and dredge the secret passage." Prepare enough gunpowder to stand by! ”

Qin Xu led his staff and a group of guards to leave the hillside and walk towards the city: "Inform the Hua Clan, act tonight!" ”

The staff was shocked: "Lord Wang, I originally planned to act in three days, but if I advance it, some arrangements may not be in place......

"Now that the vault has been found," Qin Xu was confident and high-spirited, "There is no need to deal with Shen Fuxu and the snake, tonight is just to catch the prince off guard!" ”

"But I'm afraid the crown princess won't arrive in ......Yangzhou so soon," the staff reminded.

"It's just a woman, this king hasn't taken it seriously."

Qin Xu sneered.

As soon as the crown prince dies, killing the crown princess is as simple as pinching an ant to death for him!

When the staff heard this, "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will go and inform the Hua family to get ready." ”

Shen Mansion.

After receiving the order, Hua hurriedly asked the maid to inquire about the prince's news.

"Madam, the crown prince and the prince of Chu went to the old lady's courtyard to play chess in the afternoon."

The maidservant hurried back.

Hua Shi muttered: "Let people go down and tell the master that dinner will be arranged in the old lady's courtyard." ”
