Chapter 018: The Wu Family's Calculations

The hoarse voice was like a mysterious summons, leading Yan Yuqing to turn around slowly.

At this moment, she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, and she froze in the distance.

saw Wu Qingzhi's depressed face appear in front of her.

"I'm almost done spinning around, and I still haven't found the secret door. Did you find anything on your side? Wu Qingzhi asked casually, his eyes still looking around.

In fact, he just asked casually. He knew that if Yan Yuqing really found it, would he still stay here?

Yan Yuqing shook his head and said, "I've looked for it over there, but you better take another look." I'm afraid I'll miss it. ”

Wu Qingzhi bowed his head and walked towards the mural.

Seeing that he was looking carefully, Yan Yuqing slowly retracted his gaze and looked at the purple gem he was holding in his hand.

Just when Wu Qingzhi called her, Yan Yuqing was nervous and touched the purple gem on the coffin lid.

It stands to reason that the things inlaid on the coffin lid should be very firm. Because it has to go through the steps of carrying the coffin, burying it, etc. If it is not firm, it will fall if one is not careful, and it is impossible to have a chance to be seen by Yan Yuqing here.

But how can this explain the fact that when she touched it, the gem fell.

She knew that the heart-shaped gem was the tomb's owner's favorite thing during his lifetime. She took the gem and prepared to gently put it back in its place.

For some reason, the place where the heart-shaped gemstone was originally inlaid could not be put back. I don't know how the skilled craftsmen carved at that time, so anxious that Yan Yuqing's sideburns oozed fine sweat.

She looked at the coffin in a panic, hoping to find another way.

Next to the heart-shaped gem, she found the same words on the golden silk wooden coffin as before.

Yan Yuqing read it carefully again, and what was written in it was the marching array technique that echoed the smelting technique over there.

The whole article is not about the conventional marching formation, relying on unexpected treacherous methods, and the sword to go sideways, and win more with less.

Yan Yuqing looked up at Wu Qingzhi, who was still admiring the mural, and his eyes were full of doubts.

What did his ancestors do, Yan Yuqing originally thought that he was the crown prince of a certain dynasty, but judging from the number of troops they used throughout the text, the number was so small that it was difficult to become a country.

Unless......

It's a family.

Yan Yuqing suddenly felt that this tomb was full of gloomy weirdness.

In fact, this feeling was more or less a little bit when she saw Wu Jinsong and even Wu Qing, but that feeling was very subtle and easy to be ignored.

And at this time, her feelings have never been stronger. She felt that all this should be inextricably linked to the bride that the prince had been robbed.

Before Yan Yuqing came out of her thoughts, Wu Qingzhi had already come to her side.

He saw the heart-shaped gem in Yan Yuqing's hand, and his eyes exuded a light that had been suppressed for a long time, and at the same time he was happy from the heart.

But he quickly reined in all his emotions, looked at Yan Yuqing and said as before: "I've found the secret door, let's go." ”

Yan Yuqing was pleasantly surprised when he heard that he could go out, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just accidentally touched the gem on your ancestor's coffin." But I really didn't mean to. ”

Wu Qingzhi didn't get angry, but comforted Yan Yuqing and said, "It's okay. It may be that the time is too long. It's not a rare thing anyway, you can take it first, and we'll talk about it later. It matters that we get out first. ”

When Yan Yuqing heard Wu Qingzhi say this, he also felt that it was better to go out first, and it was not too late to apologize and return it when he saw the Wu elders. At that time, she will find some people who are good at carving in the ministry, and put them back. If they lose some money, they will not embarrass their juniors because of this.

Yan Yuqing made up his mind, tightened the heart-shaped purple gem in his hand, and followed behind Wu Qingzhi.

I saw him press the sedan chair on the mural, and an invisible secret door slowly opened.

Just when Yan Yuqing thought that everything was over and he finally regained his freedom. She didn't know that what was waiting for her next was something she would never forget.

The door slowly opened. On the other side of the door is the Wu ancestral hall.

The simple and vivid carving process, and the fresh melons and fruits placed on the platform, all show that there are often people cleaning here.

Just as Wu Qingzhi and Yan Yuqing were about to go out, an old voice came from above.

"Wait a minute."

Yan Yuqing looked for a voice and found that there was a second floor in this ancestral hall, but there was no one on it.

Between breaths, a middle-aged man with a long beard appeared from the door they had just come out of.

He looked at the two juniors in front of him kindly, beckoned to them, and said, "Come here, talk to me." ”

Isn't that the old voice just now? Yan Yuqing was shocked again, but his face was not obvious, and he followed Wu Qingzhi to the middle of the ancestral hall.

I saw Wu Qingzhi make a big salute to the man, and respectfully called: "Uncle is good." The younger generation Wu Jiaqing is the younger generation Wu Qingzhi, and he visited his uncle. ”

After that, he knocked three songs.

The man's gaze moved from Wu Qing to Yan Yuqing.

The elegant and clear face, with a pair of all-encompassing eyes, made Yan Yuqing not know what to do for a while. Whether to reply on his knees like Wu Qingzhi, or just stand like this.

After hesitating, Wu Qingzhi pulled Yan Yuqing's skirt, and Yan Yuqing bowed down and said, "Junior Yan Yuqing, meet the elders of the Wu family." ”

As he spoke, he offered the heart-shaped gem in his hand, and the gem had changed from purple in the tomb to a deep blue. Yan Yuqing was secretly shocked in his heart, could this be the legendary color-changing sapphire? But there is nothing visible on the face.

"This is the gem that the junior just accidentally touched in the tomb, and now it is returned to you. And when I return, I shall appoint that a man of ability in my house shall come and repair it, as before. I hope you can forgive the younger generation for their unintentional mistakes. Yan Yuqing said, bowing deeply.

"Yan's daughter?" The man muttered, lost in thought.

Wu Qingzhi had already gotten up and glanced at Yan Yuqing, both of whom saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"Uncle," Wu Qingzhi shouted tentatively.

When the man heard him, he slowly withdrew from his thoughts and said to Yan Yuqing: "This is what she gave you, so you don't have to pay me back, and it's not mine." If she wouldn't give it to you, you wouldn't have it so easily and left safely. ”

After speaking, he shouted, "Someone." ”

A row of doors in the ancestral hall was opened at the same time in an instant, and someone led the two out of the ancestral hall.

The long-lost sunshine and fresh air made Yan Yuqing's mood very good.

It seems that no matter how long she stays in the tomb, she won't feel hungry, and this time, she began to miss Vipshop's wine-brewed balls.

"Girl, you can't go yet." A small guy stopped Yan Yuqing, who was about to leave the Wu Mansion.

Yan Yuqing glanced at him, and said in an unkind tone: "I'm hungry, I want to go out to eat!" ”

Do you have a little look, how long have you been eating, and finally come out, and someone dares to stop you.

The little guy was glared at by Yan Yuqing, but still said with a smile: "What the girl wants to eat, I will order someone to do it now." ”

"I want to eat Vipinju's wine-stuffed meatballs, will you make them?" Yan Yuqing was already a little irritable, she said forcefully.

"I'm going to buy you the little one now." This little guy was still smiling, and he couldn't see that Yan Yuqing was already full of displeasure.

"No need, the meatballs are not delicious when they are cold. I'll just go myself, it's not far anyway. With that, Yan Yuqing raised his feet and prepared to step out of the door.

The little guy stopped Yan Yuqing without a trace and said, "The little one is warm and brought back to you, and it is guaranteed that it will not be cold." ”

After Yan Yuqing heard this, he began to glance at the little guy suspiciously.

That little guy doesn't look like an ordinary small guy from an ordinary big family.

Yan Yuqing recalled that when he first appeared, there was almost no sound. Even now that I was so close, I couldn't hear the slightest sound of his breathing. He should have practiced martial arts, and his martial arts are not weak.

It is etiquette for ordinary people to keep guests, but if the guests repeatedly indicate that they want to leave, the host will follow the guests and will not be forced to stay as they are now.

House arrest.
