Chapter 127: Treasure
At the last moment, Wei Qiao seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, his figure flashed to the side, and a long sword narrowly grazed his shoulder and fell to the ground.
There was a loud bang, and the long sword fell to the ground, hitting the rock wall several times, leaving several sword marks on the rock wall, before it was about to stop, and the snow bright sword body trembled like dragonfly wings.
Wei Qiao's face was displeased, he looked sideways behind him, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said, "Little Lord Yan, don't you have to lose your hands to get rid of your problem of throwing things?" ”
As he spoke, Wei Qiao stepped forward and picked up the long sword on the ground.
This sword is made by the famous craftsman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the sword body is like snow and ice, it is extremely pure silver, the dark lines of nearly transparent color can be faintly seen on it, the blades on both sides of the sword body are polished extremely sharp, the two sides of the sword body are opened with the blood groove colored with Danzhu, near the handle, there are two seal inscriptions: Gouge.
This is Yan Xiuyu's sword, it was a gift from Lord Yan on his twelfth birthday, so that Yan Xiuyu could practice martial arts diligently and maintain the way of a gentleman, not to let it drink the blood of his master.
"Don't!" Yan Qingge was shocked, and rushed over regardless of the danger, stopping Wei Qiao's footsteps towards the interior.
"Huh!" An extremely low burst of laughter came intermittently from inside the cave, but Yan Xiuyu was not seen.
After another moment, Yan Xiuyu's tongue-filled voice came: "You can do it...... Kill Qingge...... and me. But with the king's treasure alone, you can no longer ...... Can't get it. ”
With Yan Xiuyu's intermittent voice, Wei Qiao's face became more and more solemn, and even a little hideous.
Wei Qiao walked towards the cave. Yan Qingge was afraid that he would hurt Yan Xiuyu, so she stumbled and stretched out her arms to stop him, but she couldn't stop him at all, so she could only retreat all the way, and after a while, she also disappeared into the darkness.
Fortunately, the place where Yan Xiuyu was located was not deep, and he had been insisting on popping out one or two words from time to time, so that Yan Qingge could follow his direction.
When Yan Qingge arrived at Yan Xiuyu's side, he was still trying to say, "It's a pity...... The treasure of the rich and rivaled the country...... No more ...... When you see the light of day again. ”
She crouched down, her eyes widening and struggling to make out Yan Xiuyu's silhouette in the darkness, reaching out and fumbling to grasp his shoulder.
In the air not far from them, a small leaping flame appeared, and it was Wei Qiao who hit a fire fold.
He moved his hand to the side and lit the torch that was placed against the wall next to him.
The dark cavern was full of light.
Yan Qingge squinted his eyes and saw that they were in a stone room, lying crookedly on the ground with the ** guards, and these people were all unconscious.
Only Yan Xiuyu was the most special, not only was he not unconscious, but he could barely lean on the cave wall and speak.
Yan Qingge helped Yan Xiuyu up, he sat up straighter, and smiled at Yan Qingge.
Because of the **, he couldn't control himself well, and the corners of his mouth were crooked, but with this handsome face, but the good-looking evil door made Yan Qingge lose his mind for a while, forgetting that he was in danger, and just wanted to scream.
Wei Qiao lit the torch, glared at the two little ones on the ground, and said to Yan Xiuyu: "Little Lord Yan, when will you talk about your nonsense?" ”
"Nonsense?" Yan Xiuyu shook his head with a big tongue: "Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you know best." ”
Wei Qiao's eyebrows jumped: "It is rumored that three hundred years ago, King Shan Yu led five thousand iron horsemen to fight across the sea and plundered many treasures obtained by hundreds of countries on the other side of the sea. Before he died, he hid these treasures in a secret place, which the world called the treasure of King Shanyu. It's just a story told by the herders, and everyone knows it's false. ”
"Hehe, Wei San, if you really think it's fake, will you ask me specifically?" Yan Xiuyu gave Wei Qiao a cynical smile back.
"What evidence do you have?" Wei Qiao said coldly.
"If you want proof, you have to save both of our lives. Because, I am the key to the treasure. But if she's gone, I'm not going to survive! Yan Xiuyu gestured to Yan Qingge out of the corner of his eye.
Yan Qingge was completely confused when he was listening.
What is King Shanyu's treasure? Even if she was a human in two lifetimes, she had never heard of the name of this thing.
"Hahaha! Just you, and you want to be the key? Wei Qiao suddenly laughed wildly.
"Who else but me? I was born with a strange disease that doesn't know pain, did you know? Moreover, how many people have you seen who can still be sober after being hit? Yan Xiuyu said.
Wei Qiao's expression gradually became solemn, and he looked at Yan Xiuyu with a suspicious gaze.
"The Lang Zhong who treated me is called Ouyang Shaoming. He was a well-travelled man, and he loved to make friends with strange people, and the king's treasure alone was what he told me. He disappears for months every year, do you know where he went? Yan Xiuyu said slowly.
"Ouyang Shaoming? I've heard of this guy! He does have strange whereabouts, and it is not easy to make friends. Wei Qiao's gaze turned wildly, obviously believing Yan Xiuyu a little.
"Wei San'er! You're pretty well-informed. Ouyang Shaoming never bent his waist for the powerful, and the Tai Hospital asked him to be the imperial doctor, but he also disobeyed. Why did he come and heal me for years? Do you think he fell in love with the wealth of the Yanwang Mansion, or did he fall in love with my special physique? ”
Hearing this, Wei Qiao already believed eight or nine points in his heart.
Yan Xiuyu was afraid that Wei Qiao would not believe him enough, so he added another fire and incited: "It's a pity! The Wei family's century-old operation was ruined. If you endure it for a few more years, when the northern land is calmed down, and the barbarian king is caught, you will be a serious Great Zhou person in the future. But if you have the treasure of King Shan Yu and return to the northland, it is better than being incognito in the Great Zhou......"
"Shut up!" Wei Qiao turned around abruptly and stared at Yan Xiuyu with a ferocious gaze: "My Wei family is upright, innocent, with a family tree of one hundred and six generations, inherited for thousands of years, and has always been a Zhou person." ”
Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu looked at Wei Qiao in disbelief.
Wei Qiao clenched his cheeks, and his cold gaze fell on Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu in turn.
"I don't know what rumors you have heard, but not everyone in my Wei family is guilty." He approached Yan Qingge and asked sharply: "My second sister-in-law and you are handkerchiefs, and they never ask about political affairs, her children are under one year old, and they are also spies?" ”
Yan Qingge had nothing to say.
Wei Qiao's gaze became more and more crazy: "Even my father just listens to the words of the people above and does things. My Wei family is just a small chess piece! Even if we do something wrong, we don't deserve such a miserable end! Why don't you find those people and make us scapegoats! The fire that day burned to death 300 members of my Wei family, sweeping the floor, guarding the door, babies who couldn't talk in swaddling clothes, my mother, my sister, and two sisters-in-law...... Not a single one was spared! He who is in the sky is extremely powerful! ”
As he spoke, he began to mutter, "Ouyang Shaoming...... Shan Yu Wang ...... Treasure ......" His voice became louder and louder, and people walked around in the stone room like trapped beasts, and roared in a suppressed voice: "Break through the Great Zhou...... Avenge! Avenge! Avenge! ”
Wei Qiao's eyes were bloodshot, his fists creaked, and his body showed a crazy aura, as if he wanted to destroy everything.
Yan Qingge looked at Wei Qiao, his soul was shocked, and there were two tears in his eyes.
A pair of slightly calloused hands covered Yan Qing's back, Yan Xiuyu shook Yan Qing's singer, and said softly: "Don't be afraid!" ”
Wei Qiao was already in a state of complete madness, and Yan Xiuyu thought that Yan Qingge was scared and cried.
Yan Qingge knew that she was not scared to cry, but because she felt empathy.
Once upon a time, she was also wrapped in such hatred, only she was reborn once, and was able to walk out of those darkness without repeating the mistakes of the past.
But Wei Qiao is not, he only has this life, and he can only drive the big car of hatred with his own hands, carrying pain, and falling into the boundless abyss.
Although he empathized with Wei Qiao's pain, Yan Qingge could not accept Wei Qiao's approach.
She has always believed that before a person does something, he should think clearly about whether he can bear the consequences before acting.
If the Wei family dares to commit the great crime of plotting against the enemy and collaborating with the enemy, it must be indispensable to the benefits given by others. If this incident does not happen, of course the Wei family will enjoy glory and wealth. But once the incident happens, it will definitely affect the whole family.
Wei Qiao kept scolding Da Zhou for being cruel and killing the entire Wei family, but he didn't mention that it was the Wei family who put the whole family on this bloody knife edge.
Perhaps, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't dare to admit it.
Wei Qiao is a typical winner at the moment, he can't afford to lose, and he has embarked on an evil path that pushes himself tighter and tighter.
Perhaps the emperor knew Wei Qiao's thoughts, so he appointed him as the strange "pacification envoy of the Northland" to lure the snake out of the hole with the power behind the Wei family.
Yan Qingge is a person who has lived a lifetime, knowing the trend of the times in the next few decades, Wei Qiao wants to use the power of the Northern Barbarians to break through the Great Zhou, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream. Because in no more than five years at the latest, the Northern Barbarian Court will all be captured alive and sent to the capital for custody, and the Northern Land will officially become the territory of the Great Zhou.
Wei Qiao walked around the cave, I don't know how long, before he slowly regained his composure.
At this time, he was convinced of the "Treasure of King Shan Yu", which was still quite suspicious of the other party.
He turned to look at Yan Xiuyu and showed a cold smile: "I'll go find that Ouyang Shaoming first!" Little Lord Yan, you just have to wait, I'll come to you again. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Yan Xiuyu was not afraid of him at all, and nodded, as if the two had just agreed to go on a spring outing.
Wei Qiao slowly took out a thick small cotton pillow from his sleeve and said softly: "But now, please let you sleep for a while." After finishing speaking, he pressed the cotton pillow on Yan Xiuyu's head and face, Yan Xiuyu's eyes widened and he wanted to resist, but he quickly closed his eyes and fell to the ground softly.
"You...... What did you do to him. Yan Qingge pounced and desperately tried to tear Wei Qiao's arm apart, but it was like a mayfly shaking a tree, and it didn't work at all.
Wei Qiao let go of Yan Xiuyu, and with a gentle push, he pushed Yan Qingge to the ground. Yan Qingge's eyes were full of stars, and he couldn't get up for half a day. ”
"It's just a little **, and in a few days, he will naturally wake up."
Wei Qiao showed an arrogant smile, squatted down, stared at Yan Qingge like a cat playing mouse, and said in a fluttering voice: "I still have some time, and no one can hear our conversation right now, why don't we be open and honest and talk about you, Miss Yan!" ”
