Treasure Hunt (1)
Chapter 192: Treasure Hunt (1)
Soon, Shen Wan officially moved into the Southern Palace, which was much smaller and more delicate than the majestic Imperial Palace in the North. But there are very few people in the palace, so it doesn't seem crowded and crowded. The dormitory she lives in is called Zichen Palace, and she is the only one who lives there. Sometimes the acting king is late in the palace to deal with affairs, and after the curfew time, he will also rest in the side hall of the Zichen Palace.
On the first day that Shen Wan stayed in the palace, she was led by Xiao Wumian to visit the Fengxian Hall to pay homage to the previous kings.
"The day of the sacrifice to the heavens can only be gone after the Qin Tianjian is decided, now let's kneel here and worship, here are the ancestors of the Xiao family, as well as the Empress Showa. Here's a portrait of your parents. Xiao Wumian introduced them one by one, and finally stopped in front of the portrait of a young couple and said to Shen Wan.
Shen Wan looked over and saw only two portraits of young emperors and queens, the people in the portraits were expressionless, like all the other emperors. Shen Wan's heart was not shocked, and she didn't see the excitement or joy of her biological parents at all, or sadness.
"How did they die?" She asked.
"Sixteen years ago, they died in the civil strife." Xiao Wumian replied, "It is precisely because of this that I have no choice but to send Your Highness to the Northern Kingdom and hand it over to Lord Shen to raise. ”
Shen Wan nodded silently, put three incense sticks in front of their spirits, kowtowed respectfully three times, took a deep look at the two portraits, did not linger, and Xiao Wumian walked out and came to the Jiaotai Palace.
Pulling out Wang Feng and taking out the treasure map in the scabbard, Xiao Wumian carefully checked it, led Shen Wan to the inner hall, and opened a secret grid according to the instructions on the drawing, the secret grid was a mechanism, unscrew the mechanism, and the door to the basement opened.
The two of them walked underground together, and followed the instructions on the drawings to pass several dangerous traps smoothly before finally stopping in front of a stone gate.
There were no instructions on the drawings on how to open the stone door, and after careful observation and fumbling, Xiao Wumian found that there was a groove on the right side, as if he wanted to insert something into it.
Xiao Wumian gestured, and finally found that the groove was very narrow, and only the sword body of Wang Fengjian could pierce it.
Shen Wan listened, pulled out Wang Feng, and stabbed into the groove, sure enough, it was just right. When the entire sword body was submerged, the stone door opened. What catches your eye is a stone chamber of gold and silver jewelry.
The two walked in, surrounded by a piece of gold, silver and jewelry, Xiao Wumian sighed: "The wealth here is enough for all the weapons, equipment and food of the 100,000 army, enough for three full years. ”
Shen Wan shook her head and said, "I can't stop watching." ”
"More than that?"
"I guess this is just a small part of all the treasures."
"How did Your Highness know?"
"I guess," Shen Wan looked around and said, "Don't forget, the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom was beaten back across the Yangtze River, and he took care of fleeing for his life, where would he have time to bring all the treasures." What's more, he crossed the Yangtze River from Yao, what if he only brought too much jewelry to attract people's attention? Therefore, there must be only a small part here, and most of the treasures must still be left in the Northern Palace! ”
"Why is Your Highness so sure?"
"Because there is also a palace in the Northern Imperial Palace, the name is also Jiaotai Palace, and I have gone in to play. When I came in, I was a little strange, but now that I think about it, it's because the furnishings and buildings here are exactly the same as the Jiaotai Hall in the north. I thought, maybe there is the same dark compartment in the same seat. There is the same mechanism in the dark grid, and when the mechanism is opened, there will definitely be such a stone chamber. But I think the stone chamber will be bigger than this, and it will contain more treasures than here. ”
Xiao Wumian said worriedly: "If that's the case, what if the northerners find out?" ”
"The Northern Jiaotai Hall has been idle for a long time, besides, I don't think the stone gate would have opened without Wang Fengjian."
Xiao Wumian smiled and nodded, "Yes, I filtered it." ”
Shen Wan smiled at him and said, "The things here can't be used for the time being, let's go out first, and when we use them, we will ship the things here out." ”
"Yes, but it's up to His Highness to decide."
So, the two of them left, pretending that nothing had happened.
In the following days, Shen Wan began to officially deal with the government affairs of the southern country, she was already smart, and with Xiao Wumian's unsparing guidance, these things were quickly started.
In her spare time, she used Wang Fengjian to relearn the swordsmanship she had learned when she was a child. Sure enough, as Xiao Wumian expected, once she cooperated with Wang Fengjian, her swordsmanship was indeed very powerful, and it was more than enough to deal with ordinary masters.
After all, Nanguo is not a big place and has a small population, so things are not complicated, and Shen Wan does not feel very difficult to deal with. Especially after getting started, I feel that it is very simple, and the processing is getting faster and faster. She also has more free time.
After handling political affairs on this day, Xiao Wumian smiled at her and said, "You have been in the south for so long, and you haven't gone out for a good visit, I booked a seat in the 'Proud Building', why don't we go to have a meal together?" ”
Shen Wan smiled: "Listen to it." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and in the evening they saw several confidential ministers, and the two of them changed their clothes and left the palace, and took a carriage together, and came to the most lively bazaar together, and the proud building fell in the best geographical location of the bazaar. Usually there are a lot of guests, and if you don't pre-position yourself in advance, even if you are the acting king, you can't easily eat the delicious food inside.
The two came to the proud building and sat in the private room. The private room is on the second floor, facing the window, and you can see the night view of the entire market.
There were only the two of them in the private room, and it seemed very quiet.
Xiao Wumian thoughtfully poured good tea for Shen Wan, and carefully wiped off the water stains dripping when pouring tea for Shen Wan, put the teacup in Shen Wan's hand, and said with a smile: "Good Tieguanyin." ”
Shen Wanqi said: "How do you know that I love to drink Tieguanyin?" ”
Xiao Wumian said with a smile: "Longjing is too strong, Biluochun is too light, and only Tieguanyin is suitable." ”
Shen Wan was stunned and said, "You can also know what I said, and I really have a lot of ability." He took a sip of the teacup and said, "With your ability, it is easy to lead the southern kingdom, so why bother to welcome me back in one fell swoop?" ”
Xiao Wumian said with a straight face: "Because His Royal Highness is the descendant of the Xiao family, I can't let the descendant of the Xiao clan suffer elsewhere." ”
Every time he talked about this, he always looked upright, Shen Wan smiled helplessly, turned her face away, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
After just a glance, Shen Wan immediately turned her face around, and her complexion didn't seem to be very good.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Wumian asked with concern.
Shen Wan steadied her mind and said in a low voice: "I seem to have seen an acquaintance." ”
"Who?"
"Yes......"
As he was talking, the first dish brought up by the shopkeeper was West Lake vinegar fish, it stands to reason that West Lake vinegar fish will not have a fishy smell, but when Shen Wan saw the fish, for some reason she only felt pantothenic acid in her stomach, and finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of bitter water.
Xiao Wumian hurriedly got up, walked to her side, put his hand on her wrist, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I have studied medicine, I will take your pulse first." However, when he concentrated on the pulse, his face changed.
