Chapter 51: So I Have So Many Advantages!
Shen Yiqing asked Lou Yuzhi to invite Lou Yuzhi to the pantry next to his room, and when he saw that he looked like he wanted to say something, he retreated all the maids, and Lou Yuzhi also asked Ah Xu to guard the door.
"Yuzhi, you also know, I'm afraid we won't be able to get married for the time being, so you don't have to rush to give this congratulatory gift."
Huo Jiulin really didn't understand what Lou Yuzhi was going to give, seeing that he was empty-handed, he didn't seem to bring any congratulatory gifts or anything like that, would he just throw over a stack of silver tickets?
Well, the richest man or something, maybe he will really be so tyrant.
"I just think that since you are going to Yunyan City to participate in the martial arts conference, you must be considered to be from the rivers and lakes, in fact, it is a congratulatory gift, and I want to ask you for a favor."
"You say."
"Do you remember the brocade box hanging in the air on the sixth floor of the Treasure Building of my mansion?"
Huo Jiulin sighed: "Of course I remember, I thought that the butterfly grass would be there, to be honest, if it wasn't for the brocade box, it wouldn't have touched the bell outside the eaves and was discovered." ”
"Young Master Lou, Ninth Brother, what's in there?"
Su Lubai looked curious, it sounded very unusual, although Shen Yiqing was curious, but his face was impassive, Lou Yuzhi hesitated for a moment before answering: "Treasure map." ”
"What?"
"Treasure map?"
Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing looked at each other, and seemed to be a little skeptical of Lou Yuzhi's words, but Su Lubai didn't have much interest in the treasure map, so he didn't interject.
"How could a treasure map end up in your house?"
"Five years ago, my father bought a priceless jade gourd, and once he accidentally broke it, and then he found that there was a map inside, but it was incomplete, because there have been rumors about the treasure map in the rivers and lakes, so he faintly felt that maybe this map was a treasure map, and then secretly looked for some clues."
"It's already determined to be a treasure map?"
"Yes."
"Then your father has been collecting it like this for the past five years? Didn't think of a way to find a few other points and then take the treasure? ”
"I think you have also heard that my father hates people in the rivers and lakes, in fact, because of the treasure map, after he got the treasure map, he thought about collecting the remaining three, and spent a lot of money to find a lot of masters in the rivers and lakes, but those so-called masters disappeared every time they took the deposit, my father felt cheated, so he no longer believed in the people in the rivers and lakes."
Huo Jiulin was a little speechless, is the treasure map something that can be found casually? The share that Lou Wancheng got was also because it happened to be hidden in the jade gourd, if the jade gourd hadn't been broken, he might not have known it for the rest of his life.
Those so-called masters of the rivers and lakes, if they can find the treasure map, they will not hand it over to Lou Wancheng, so they must have taken the deposit and slipped away, it is estimated that they are some mixed rivers and lakes, and the real masters will definitely disdain to do this.
"If you had said that the brocade box contained a treasure map, I should have taken it out that day."
"I can't take it out, at that time, my father led someone down, and the bell will ring outside if you touch the rope, and besides, I'm not sure if you'll be interested in it that day."
"And that's what you're calling a congratulatory gift?"
"Yes."
"You brought it?"
Lou Yuzhi sighed and shook his head, "If I had brought it, I would have handed it over to you a long time ago, and I wouldn't have explained so much, so I said before that whether you are willing to accept this congratulatory gift or not, whether you can accept it or not depends on yourself." ”
"You mean, let's break into the Treasure House again?"
"That's the only way."
Huo Jiulin smoothed things out and clarified his thoughts before he put forward the biggest doubt in his heart: "Yuzhi, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I can't figure out why you are willing to tell us about this, you must know that now the whole river and lakes are staring at the treasure map, you won't know what is in it, right?" ”
"Treasures and secrets."
"Why do you want us to steal the treasure map?"
"It is rumored on the rivers and lakes that the treasure map was once divided into four and handed over to the four great families to guard, but the four great families were destroyed because of it, and the dignified rivers and lakes were destroyed so easily, not to mention that I was a merchant in the mansion, although I resented my father for failing my mother, but he was my father after all, and I don't want him to be killed one day."
He explained it like this, Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing could understand his thoughts, blessings and misfortunes, the treasure map seemed to be a rare treasure in the world, but the more precious it was, the more people coveted it.
"The reason why our mansion guards countless organs is to keep the treasure map, my father is worried day and night, in my opinion, the money Lou family has enough, the secret I and my father don't know martial arts, so it's useless, the treasure map is useless in our hands, I also persuaded my father, but he didn't listen, he and I have a different concept, I think the more money, the better, which is why he didn't let me get close to the sixth floor."
So Lou Yuzhi can't help it, but this matter is very important, and you can't tell others casually.
"That's how you believe him?"
Shen Yiqing's mouth naturally referred to Huo Jiulin, and it was no wonder that he suspected that Lou Yuzhi and Huo Jiulin had only known each other for a few days after all, and Lou Yuzhi said such a confidential matter so easily.
Lou Yuzhi smiled: "I have been managing the property of Loufu for my father, although I can't count countless people, but there are still a lot of people I have dealt with over the years, all kinds of people, so there are still eyes for people, of course, this is only one of them." ”
"I want to hear about it."
"I accidentally overheard his conversation with Young Master Su that day, and knew that he was very affectionate to you, but he was willing to let go, and felt that he was not a selfish person, and later in order to save his friends, he knew that the treasure building was heavily injured and he was seriously injured, but he still went to break in, and he really just went for Dieling Lingcao, and did not pay attention to other treasures, so I think such a person who is affectionate and righteous and does not covet money should be worth believing."
Huo Jiulin raised his eyebrows, he didn't know that he had so many advantages, to be honest, he had always been a beggar or a bully, and he really hadn't been praised much, and the most recent praise was when he was still practicing sword with his master a few years ago.
So suddenly receiving praise, Bully Huo felt embarrassed.
"It's good to give you businessmen a good eye!"
Shen Yiqing looked at Huo Jiulin a little speechlessly, and Su Lubai couldn't help but say: "Brother Jiu, it's just that others praise you, you are not modest, and you still say such things, I really don't want to admit that you are my brother, it's a shame." ”
"Little Egret, you've been getting more and more uncute lately!"
Su Lubai stuck out his tongue at him, Lou Yuzhi looked at the way the three of them got along, and suddenly felt a little envious, he has always been alone, he has always been cold and lonely around him, and he doesn't know when he can make a few sincere friends like them.
"Okay, let Young Master Lou finish talking first."
Shen Yiqing couldn't help but interrupt the two of them, and his daughter-in-law opened his mouth Huo Jiulin naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, in fact, he was not interested in treasures and secrets at all, if he had put it in the past, he would definitely not interfere in this matter, but now it is different, his future father-in-law has spoken, and if he can't find the treasure map, he can't marry Shen Yiqing.
So in order to marry someone home as soon as possible, he has to find a way to find a treasure map, he was still saying that there were no clues at all, but he didn't expect to find one so soon, it seems that God hopes that he and Aqing can get married as soon as possible.
"In that case, let's break into the treasure building again."
"But ......"
"But what?"
"Although my father always thought it was me about the treasure building last time, he also strengthened the guards because of this, and he also told me last night that he moved the medicinal herbs to the first floor, so I think he may have changed the layout in the treasure building."
Huo Jiulin frowned, that is to say, either the treasure map is still on the sixth floor, but the mechanism must have been modified, or it has been changed, but it is impossible to know which layer it is.
"Is that building really that hard to get through?"
Although Shen Yiqing had also stolen it before, he didn't find the treasure building, because the building was relatively large and there were many guards, so when he went, he accidentally alarmed the patrolling guards and fought with them.
Of course, in the end, that method didn't succeed, and it was broken by Huo Jiulin, and now it's impossible to use it again, because Sister Xiang has already told everyone that Xiyan Gongzi has been ransomed.
"If someone who doesn't know anything about the situation goes, it's really hard to get out, unless it's a real martial arts master, if I hadn't been thanks to his help last time, I would definitely have been caught."
"But you were injured last time."
"The same thing, my injuries are still not healed."
"Shall I go?"
As soon as Shen Yiqing's proposal was put forward, it was vetoed by Huo Jiulin, "No, it's too dangerous, the organs in there are basically poisonous, and if you are a little careful, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"So I also know that this matter is not an easy matter, and there is no coercion meaning, you think about it yourself, if you are willing to steal the treasure map, I will try to help when the time comes, but I can not help much."
After all, now he doesn't know the situation in the building, Lou Wancheng arranged a few guards at the door, and now when he enters the building, the guards will follow, and he can only find some medicinal materials on the first floor, and he doesn't even have a chance to approach the second floor.
"Your dad always carried the keys?"
"That's just an external statement, in fact, my father rarely carries the key with him, and the reason why he took it the night you went to the treasure house is because he had something to do in the past."
Huo Jiulin raised his eyebrows at Shen Yiqing, Shen Yiqing looked a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that the information collected by the people under his command was actually wrong, that is to say, even if he tricked Lou Wancheng into the room and knocked him unconscious, he couldn't find the key that night, he was just busy.
"I'm confused, according to what you say, then we won't be able to get the treasure map at all?"
Su Lubai was confused when he heard it, and when Huo Jiulin was about to say something, the door was suddenly pushed open, and they looked over vigilantly, only to see Helian Wuye leaning against the door, and lightly threw over a sentence: "It's not that there is no way at all." ”
