Chapter 309: Agarwood Box
Xu Neishou pressed the tears on his cheeks, picked up the chopsticks and ate a bite of the dish, and broke off a piece of cooking cake and put it in his mouth to chew. Then he took a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and sprinkled the powder into the wine cup.
The warm drink poured into the glass, and the powder disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wan Wan came back to her senses and asked in surprise, "Senior Officer Xu, are you going to take poison?" ”
Xu Neishou smiled and said, "The old slave has to go and serve the official family. Ming always arrested, and the official family originally belonged to His Royal Highness King Qin in their hearts. The old slave said these words to you, just hoping that the four men would be able to rest and avenge the official family. In this way, the original intention of the official family is not missed. ”
As he spoke, Xu Neishou pulled out a few small strokes of the charcoal basin for heating and fiddled with it a few times.
Wan Wan said: "If there is a person in this world who is a confidant of the official family, that person must be Xu Daguan. Even if the official says so, I will not go against the will of the official. ”
Xu Neishou nodded and said, "I just wronged you." ”
Some flames burst out of the charcoal basin, and Xu Nei took out something from his bosom and threw it into the charcoal basin. Wan Wan saw clearly, that thing was the agarwood box. She was so shocked that she could barely control her efforts to reach for it.
Xu Neishou fiddled with the charcoal fire and let the flame climb onto the agarwood box, "The official family asked me to hand this over to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin does not leave four doors, and this is useless to him." Let the old slave take it away and return it to the official family. ”
He turned his head to look at Wan Wan and said, "This is how many lives have been exchanged for Tianmen, and Mr. Ming will definitely be reluctant." The old slave also knew that this thing should not be burned so easily.
But His Royal Highness the King of Qin is different from the official family. The official family named Yansheng is to continue the prestige and national fortune during the Mandate of Heaven. He was bent on revitalizing the four gates, enriching farmers and merchants, and expanding his territory. His Royal Highness the King of Qin has this ambition, but he does not pin his hopes on the four gates.
Just in case, this thing burned clean. lest it fall into the hands of those thieves. ”
The flame licked the agarwood box, wafting out a mellow and rich aroma, but it burned slowly. Seeing this, Wan Wan took out the powder that supported the combustion and sprinkled it into the charcoal basin. The charcoal fire suddenly flourished, engulfing the shape of the agarwood box.
Xu Neishou let go of the probe stick in his hand and said, "Thank you Mr. Ming." ”
Wan Wan said: "You are polite. ”
Xu Nei picked up the wine cup and said, "The old slave will go on the road." Mr. Ming should leave first, so as not to cause trouble. ”
Wan Wan said: "I have a lot of troubles. I'll stay here to send off Xu Daguan. ”
Xu Neishou laughed, "Many things in this world are changing, but the important knowledge of the chief arrester has not changed. ”
He arched his hand to Wan Wan, and then tilted his neck to drink the poisonous wine. In such a position as Xu Neishi, the poison he prepared for himself was not ordinary. Seeing the blood seal the throat, enter the abdomen and break the soul. It's really fast, and there is no pain in the slightest.
Wan Wan stepped forward, reached out and stroked his eyes, and straightened his slightly messy hair in a bun. Then she wiped down her used soup bowl and put some soup in it and soaked it for a while.
When the taste of the vegetarian wine was exhausted, Wan Wan drank the soup and put the bowl back on the small table. After thinking about it, he picked up the small spoon again, dipped some soup in it and put it next to the bowl. Finally, she picked up the brocade mat and put it on Xu Nei's side, posing as if he had slid down from the low stool, and the brocade mat had also fallen.
After completely erasing her traces, Wan Wan bowed to Xu Nei. When she turned to leave, the afterglow of her eyes swept over the charcoal basin, and her steps twisted back vividly.
The flames in the charcoal pot have been lowered, but the agarwood box is still strong. To be exact, it was just burned and transformed, not completely destroyed.
Wan Wan pricked up her ears and paid attention to the surroundings, then squatted over and lifted the outer layer of skirt, used her skirt to pocket the charcoal basin, picked up the charcoal stick and quickly picked out the agarwood box.
Something was wrong when I started.
Although the hem of her skirt is not thin, it is not so hot that it cannot be felt at all.
With a curious heart, she tried to poke a finger upward. After being stunned for a moment, she put her finger on it again, but this time it was not a quick touch, but a solid press on it.
The things that were fished out of the fire had no heat. And the touch under the fingers is not like wood, but like a strange metal.
It seems that only one layer of the agarwood box is agarwood, and the inside is an unknown material that is not afraid of fire.
What Wan Wan wants to do has been done, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. The agarwood box can't be burned, and she can't leave it here and take care of it. So Wan Wan took the things in her arms and left here to avoid the tracks.
She first returned the palace maid's clothes as they were, and then sneaked away with the agarwood box. Before leaving, I didn't forget to bring two hot vegetable steamed buns and a can of egg drop soup.
After confirming that no one was following, Wan Wan circled back to Cheng Wu's abandoned tomb.
For a while, those people were gone. Wan Wan couldn't react a little, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
They really didn't believe her, but they moved quite quickly.
After thinking about it, Wan Wan guessed again if they would hide back in the secret room. Unfortunately, she didn't know where the secret room was. After wandering around for a while with the soup can, she went to the burial chamber, wanting to put the food in the coffin, and if they were still there, they would still come here when they left the secret room.
Opening the lid of the coffin, Wan Wan found that the slope was still there. She leaped in, slid down the smooth stone slope, and lit a stone platform with a fire. With the help of the light, Wan Wan found a conspicuous and unobstructed place, and put down the soup cans and vegetable steamed buns.
She did not leave in a hurry, but leaned under the stone platform and took out the agarwood box to study it over and over again.
The shape of this thing is very irregular, and I can't tell what kind of material it is, and what secrets are on it. Wan Wan pondered: Could this strange-shaped thing be the Four Door Order?
At best, the material is peculiar, and it is really not an imitable artifact.
Thinking of the description of the impersonable artifact, Wan Wan couldn't help but think of Fengqing City again. Those emotions that had been temporarily squeezed out by curiosity came back. She frantically grabbed the object in her hand and twisted it wildly. I want to use this to vent the boredom in my heart.
Suddenly, a soft "click" sounded from the bottom of his hand.
Wan Wan froze for a moment - this thing won't be broken by her, right?
Then she relaxed again. Anyway, what was meant to be destroyed is broken when it breaks. Thinking like this, Wan Wan breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head to look at her masterpiece.
The strange thing seemed to have been broken in two by her, and she always felt that the left hand and the right half could move independently. She tried to close the distance between her hands, and sure enough, the strange thing was split in two, and something heavy landed on her lap.
Wan Wan blinked, blinked again, then she put down what she was holding, moved her hands to her face, thought about it and changed her hand to her lap, and pinched it vigorously to make sure it was not a ridiculous dream.
Cheng Wu's goods turned out to be worn!
