Chapter 38: The Eve (Three Watches Seeking Guaranteed Pink Tickets)
Although they all knew what the treasury was for, they were silently shocked when they saw the grain piled up in the warehouse!
"Fifty quintals of rice, one hundred quintals of flour, two hundred quintals of millet and five hundred quintals of potato flour. - Well, here's the captain's list. The sergeant who came to collect the supplies handed a note to the blood soldiers guarding the storeroom.
The blood soldiers don't eat these things, let them watch the storehouse, and don't have to worry about the guards stealing themselves.
"Go in and get it." The bloody soldier guarding the door checked the notes and put them on the shelves aside.
His gaze occasionally looked out of the storeroom door, and his eyes were blood-red in the light of the torches at the door.
Chi Yi stared at the eyes of the blood soldier tightly, and couldn't help but remember that when Zhou Huaixuan launched a madness on the northwest battlefield, his eyes also turned blood red, although it didn't take long for his eyes to become normal, but his strength also increased a lot......
…… Will these people be in the same situation as Xuan'er?
The sergeant who took the supplies pushed the cart away.
The sound of the wheels echoed in the lodge in the belly of the mountainside, and it was loud.
Taking advantage of the loud sound of the cart rolling, Chi Yi, Huang San, and Zi Qi quietly turned to the warehouse on the other side.
The defenses here are a little lax, and the guards of the treasury are not bloody soldiers.
Occasionally, craftsmen would come and bring in the finished weapons.
Originally, the storeroom here was used to store weapons......
Because this mountain villa is located in the middle of the mountain, it seems that these craftsmen are divided into shifts, and they are constantly crafting weapons for twelve hours a day.
Chi Yi exchanged glances with Huang San and Zi Qi, and was about to retreat to the original path. Suddenly, a tall man walked across the path.
The three of them quickly remained motionless and squatted in the shadows behind the big rocks, holding their breath.
Because although the person who came was still some distance away from this big stone, the momentum came from afar, making the three guardians shudder.
"This momentum is actually chasing Xuan'er......" Chi Yi muttered to himself in his heart.
The tall figure stopped near the big rock, as if sensing something.
He slowly turned his eyes and glanced over to the big rock.
Blood-red eyes gleamed in the dim light of the torches. He took a deep breath and didn't smell the odor.
Ziqi had been on the edge of the big stone, and she was so oppressed by that momentum that she couldn't help but raise her eyes. He glanced ahead quickly.
The tall man just turned his head. Look at the door of the storeroom.
In this instant, Zi Qi saw that the man was wearing a half-bronze mask on his face, which was covered from the nose down, revealing only a pair of gloomy eyes.
These eyes are so familiar......
Zi Qiyi was stunned.
Chiyi also slowly looked up from behind the big stone at this time. Look over to the tall man.
He didn't see the man's face. Only the side of his bronze mask was seen.
"Grand Commander......" The sergeant guarding the door hurriedly bowed and saluted.
The man only nodded. Without speaking, he pushed open the door of the storeroom and walked in.
The shiny armor, swords, and crossbows inside blinded them once again.
The door to the storeroom creaked shut.
Chi Yi gave Huang San and Zi Qi a look, and quietly returned the same way.
Come to the entrance of the lodge. The house where the gatekeeper lived was silent, and they all seemed to be asleep.
They pushed open the gate and went out, and when they saw that the gatekeeper who had been knocked unconscious by them was still fainting under the vines, they hurriedly untied him and threw him into the lodge, and then closed the gate of the lodge silently.
They didn't spend much time on this trip, and even if the gatekeeper inside woke up and felt strange, he didn't dare to report it to the top.
He said that if he went out, he would die.
After descending the mountain from Dongshan and returning to the city, Huang San and Ziqi both asked Chiyi: "That villa is really Qingwu's villa?" ”
A little bare, "Definitely his." But today he didn't come. But what is inside, you have all seen. ”
Huang San and Zi Qi nodded silently.
Hoarded food and weapons near the capital, as well as all kinds of strange soldiers, what is this for?!
"That's it for today. I'm going to go out one more time. Prepare yourselves, this man, you must get rid of it. Chiyi said lightly.
Huang San and Zi Qi responded and left the Guardian's Seven Mansion.
Akaichi returned to his residence and spent seven days sorting out a plan to attack the villa.
He has hundreds of people under his command, Huang San and Zi Qi should also have this number, and although the mountain villa is hidden and looks powerful, the terrain is not good, and it is not easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In other words, even if it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in the eyes of Chiyi, it is nothing.
The cities he conquered back then were much more difficult than this......
Preparing the battle plan, Chiyi called Huang San and Zi Qi over again, gathered the three of their subordinates together, and practiced briefly in their own place.
"On the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of August, attack the East Mountain." Chi Yi said to Huang San and Zi Qi.
Huang San and Zi Qi's faces were extremely stern, "Boss, do you really want to do it?" -- Actually, our duty as guardians has nothing to do with these things. ”
"It didn't matter before, but now it is." Chiyi said lightly, "Have you forgotten?" The guardians protect Great Xia and the royal family, and must not usurp the country! ”
And what Qingwu did, of course, ran counter to the purpose of the Guardian.
Huang San and Zi Qi nodded silently and went back to prepare.
……
Late at night on the 14th day of August, Chiichi went to the ancestral tomb outside the city of the Divine General's Mansion again.
He first went to the sacrificial temple of the Divine General's Mansion and kowtowed to the ancestors and ancestors.
Although there were Zhou family members and guards guarding the temple, with Chiyi's ability, none of these people found him.
He knelt on the ground and looked at the dense tablet on the mountain-high offering table in front of him, and the corners of his eyes moistened.
His "tablet" is also in it.
Maybe after a while, his "tablet" will become a real tablet.
Coming out of the sacrificial temple, Chi Yi hesitated for a long time. In the end, he walked to the tomb of Mrs. Zhou.
No matter what Mrs. Zhou did to him before her death, she was his mother and his biological parents.
As soon as he walked to the place not far from the tomb of Mrs. Zhou, Chi Yi caught a glimpse of the oil lamp lit up in the grass house next to the tomb, and he was stunned and subconsciously stopped.
He looked left and right, dodged behind the pine trees beside the road, and then moved step by step to the back of the grass house.
This grass house is for the third master of the Zhou family, Zhou Sizong, to guard the tomb.
Chi Yi was seriously injured here with a dagger a few months ago, and he had already been taken to the General's Mansion by Zhou Huaili, the son of Zhou Huaili. Now it's back.
Could it be that the wound has healed?
Chi Yi looked into the grass house with his eyes.
I saw that Zhou Ye was still wrapped in bandages on his arms and legs. Dressed in a gray muslin gown, he sat under the lamp with a haggard face.
However, although his face looked haggard, he was still in good spirits and very high.
He held up his teacup. He said in the direction of the backlight in the cottage, "The Lord is here today. The subordinates were inexplicably moved. ”
It turned out that there was a man sitting across from him. Just sitting in the backlight, I can't see his appearance.
But as soon as the man spoke, Chiichi heard it.
Sitting opposite. It's Qingwu.
The voice of the man was the voice of Qing Wu wearing the mask of a guardian.
I only heard him say gently: "Heir Zong, you are very polite." I should have come to see you earlier, but I couldn't leave. Today I heard that you have found a serious connection between the fallen people and the previous dynasty, and I hope it is not too late. ”
"It's not too late, it's not too late!" Zhou Ye said happily, "It is a blessing for the Lord to take the time to come. ”
Qing Wu nodded, stretched out his hand from the backlight, picked up the teacup on the table and turned it around in his hand, and said, "Say it." ”
Zhou Ye's voice trembled excitedly: "The book that the Lord ordered someone to send last time is really a treasure!" It took me seven days and seven nights to finish my study, and I learned a lot. ”
"Well, the words on those books are said to be the words of the previous dynasty, can you understand them?"
"I didn't understand it before, but when I was collecting books from the tombs of the previous dynasties, I received a few ancient books with contrasting words and phrases. With those ancient books, I have a little knowledge of the words of the previous dynasties. Zhou Ye said very proudly.
He asked himself how he had studied the writing of the previous dynasties in his life, and in the whole Great Xia, he was called second, and no one called him first.
"What did those ancient books say?" Qing Wu asked intently, although the voice was similar, but the tone was not angry, which was different from Qing Wu a few days ago.
Chi Yi intuitively felt that the Qing Wu in this room should be the Qing Wu who really penetrated into the guardian's interior, and that person a few days ago was just a stand-in or scapegoat for this Qing Wu......
"Lord, those books are actually not ancient books of the previous dynasty." Wednesday Master said that he was dancing and very excited.
"Oh? Isn't it an ancient book from the previous dynasty? How can the handwriting be completely different from ours? ”
"Those books are not ancient books of the previous dynasty, but they use the script of the previous dynasty. Because those books were written shortly after the fall of the previous dynasty. At that time, the text had not changed, so everyone thought it was an ancient book of the previous dynasty. In fact, these books record some of the things that happened in the founding of Great Xia. To be precise, these books are written about the deeds of the founding emperor of Great Xia. ”
"Oh." Qing Wu was not surprised at all, it seemed that this conclusion was expected by him. He just desperately wanted to know what was written in these books......
"But my lord, these books should only be available in the Great Xia Sect, where did you get them?" Wednesday asked curiously.
"Well, you don't care. Naturally, someone got it for me. Qing Wu had a smile in his voice, and by the way, he put the teacup in his hand back on the table and didn't drink it at all.
Zhou Ye nodded, and arched his hand: "There are many people in the Lord, I am rare and strange." ”
Qing Wu raised his hand, "Don't talk about this nonsense. ”
Zhou Ye laughed, looked at the oil lamp in front of him, held up the first book, and said softly: "...... In this book, it is about Emperor Xia Yun, the founding emperor of Great Xia, who gained strength from the fallen people, but finally seized the country from the fallen people. ”
