Chapter 36: The Treasury
Hearing the shouts of Zhike, Chen Qi in front of the window was stunned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Rose Mercenary Regiment has arrived?
Or a deputy head ?!
Chen Qi's first reaction was, isn't it that the Rose Mercenary Group already knew about the abuse and murder of their members, and came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt?
But immediately, he dismissed the idea.
Basically impossible.
If the people of the Rose Mercenary Group knew about this, then it would not be these people who came, let alone prepare gifts. Looking at the expression on the face of the deputy head of the regiment, with a little anxiety that could not be concealed under the smile, Chen Qi knew that they must not know about the affairs of their members. It's just that regular mercenary groups like them are generally relatively disciplined, and the members of the group must have a special route and time arrangement when they venture into the mountains, and maybe there will be some marks left.
It's just to prevent accidents.
Counting up, it has been almost two days since the death of those female adventurers, and two days does not seem like a long time, but don't forget, the Rose Mercenary Group is an all-female mercenary group, and the probability of female adventurers going out in the wild is generally much higher than that of men. Therefore, it is reasonable that the time set by them is stricter.
It's like being a parent, if the family is a boy, then he won't be out until the next day, and the parents won't feel anything. But if it's a girl and she doesn't come home after 10 o'clock, the parents will start to worry.
But now that the people from the Rose Mercenary Group have arrived, will their plans also be changed?
After all, they are their own sisters, and this kind of thing is definitely more appropriate and appropriate than their own appearance.
Chen Qi fell into thought.
At this time, the homecoming mansion was already lively.
After all, the Rose Mercenary Group is not a small mercenary group, although they are all women, but in the entire Yangchuan City, they are also a large mercenary group that is firmly on the front line, and a deputy head of the regiment comes in person, which is not a small face.
So immediately, a large group of people came out of the homecoming mansion, the first one was a burly middle-aged man, he stepped forward quickly, hugged his fists at Sheng Yanzhen and said: "Head Sheng is here in person, and I will return to the village to shine!"
Sheng Yanzhen squeezed out a smile on her face, and also hugged her fists and said: "Returning to the village's master's birthday, our sisters are in a hurry, begging for a glass of water and wine, and please return to the village's owner not to be surprised." ”
That middle-aged man is naturally the current owner of the village, Gui Ziang, he laughed and said: "Where is the head of the Sheng, the Rose Mercenary Group is famous, and they are all heroines among women, so they don't let them have eyebrows." Everyone, it's an honor to come!
"Return to the lord of the village, please. ”
The two smiled and entered the mansion side by side, and on the way, Sheng Yanzhen said in a low voice: "Return to the owner of the village, I have something to ask for." ”
"Where is Captain Sheng, if you have something, you just have to order!"
"I don't dare to take orders, it's just that a few sisters in our group have disappeared before, and looking at the marks they left before, they came to return to their homes, but when we came here to inquire, no one saw them. There are few sisters in us, and we have not found any traces and clues of them after looking around outside, so I would like to ask the owner of the village to help us lend us some people tomorrow, so that we can find the whereabouts of our sisters along the way. ”
How did Gui Ziang know that those female adventurers had already been mutilated by his uncompetitive little son, he only thought that this was just an opportunity to show favor to the Rose Mercenary Group, and hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Captain Sheng! Tomorrow morning, I will send people from the village to help find it, and everything will be arranged by Captain Sheng!"
"So thank you to the owner of the village, this favor has been recorded by our Rose Mercenary Group. ”
"It's easy to say, Head Sheng is too polite, please come to the chief. ”
Seeing the figures of the two disappear behind the door, Chen Qi rubbed the little stubble that had just grown on his chin, leaned on the windowsill and thought about it carefully, his face showed a smug look, and he snapped his fingers crisply.
Now that the birthday party is about to begin, it's time to get to work!
Chen Qi arrived downstairs, and the waiter saw him and went downstairs, and said strangely: "Guest officer, the birthday banquet is about to start, why did you come down?"
Chen Qi laughed and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too tired from rushing before, and I fell asleep directly in the past, and I almost delayed the hour, so I'll go over here!"
The waiter muttered that he didn't know what it was, and Chen Qi didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he walked out of the door of the hotel directly, and in the hazy night, his figure disappeared without a trace.
Of course, Chen Qi didn't know how to escape from the ground, stealth or anything like that, he just sneaked into the shadows, and then followed the root of the wall, under the instructions of the map, to an abandoned hut not far away.
It was marked on the map, and directly below this abandoned hut was the secret passage to the home. This secret passage is the secret of returning to the village, and it is also the last escape route, which can be directly escaped to a small river five miles outside the village, where wading equipment is also prepared early, so that people can escape directly along the water.
This secret road was built by the ancestors of the family, and it took two generations to dig it up, just to prevent one day, the village of returning to the family from being attacked by people or fierce beasts, and finally leaving a way back for the family.
With such an important secret passage, the entrance naturally cannot be in such an abandoned hut, but in the homecoming mansion.
It's in the underground vault of the home!
There are several advantages to this design, first of all, the underground vault is originally the strongest and safest place in the homecoming village. And when the Angelica family uses this secret passage, it must also be a time when they have to escape. And retreat to the vault as soon as possible, and close the sturdy door from the inside, no matter what danger the outside is, at least it can be delayed for a while.
Secondly, if the situation was really urgent at that time, maybe you didn't even have time to pack your luggage, then as long as you entered the vault, you naturally had enough wealth to bring with you, in order to make a comeback in the future.
Third, the key to the vault has always been only owned by the owner of the village, and the vault has always been the safest and most secret place, which also ensures that this secret passage will not be discovered on weekdays.
As for whether this will lead the wolf into the house and let the thief directly touch the vault through the tunnel......
In that hut, Chen Qi directly dug a big hole in the ground with a Tibetan blade, dug it all the way to the tunnel, and then followed the tunnel to the front of the vault, he understood that the ancestors of the family must have thought about all the possibilities in advance.
The door to this vault is made of a very strong alloy, and there is no chain outside the door.
Obviously, this door to the secret passage is extremely strong, and it can only be opened through the inside. And if you think about it a little deeper, maybe there are small mechanisms such as special sound picking brass pipes in the vault, and there may even be murder mechanisms placed there.
After all, if you want to break down this alloy door, you can only use violent dismantling when there is no lock outside.
In this way, a loud noise will immediately alarm the people above the ground.
Chen Qi smacked his lips, what this security measure does......
It's so funny!
The returning ancestors did take into account a lot of factors, but they never thought of a single ......
Chen Qi took out the Tibetan knife and gently slammed it into the door.
"Whew!"
As if cutting tofu, the Tibetan blade easily plunged into this thick, hard alloy door.
Draw a knife on the left, a knife on the right, a knife on the top, and another knife on the bottom......
A large hole the size of a man with a mouth shape was easily cut out by the Tibetan Blade, and there was almost no noise at all.
Chen Qi pulled out the steel plate that had been cut open, and let out a "ho" in admiration.
This alloy steel plate is a palm thick!
It seems that the people who returned to the village really spent a lot of effort and a lot of financial resources in order to build this vault and this tunnel.
But, yes, it's not an egg!
After sighing, Chen Qi drilled into the big hole that had been cut.
That's a lot of boxes!
Although the box is locked, the palm-thick alloy door can't help but display the ware, what is a lock?
With a knife to cut the lock, Chen Qi opened a box and immediately swallowed his saliva!
My boy, it's all gold!
This box is full of gold coins!
This box is more than half a person high, and that box full of gold coins is not said to be thousands!
And, there's plenty of ...... Uh, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, there are twenty boxes!
There must be more than 100,000 gold coins!
Fortunately, Chen Qi was not carried away, and immediately felt impossible.
This is just a small homecoming, how can there be hundreds of thousands of gold coins, it is the rich family of Yangchuan City, and how many families can have more than 100,000 gold coins?!
He hurriedly opened the other boxes one by one, and sure enough, in the other boxes, most of them were filled with some nitrated beast furs, teeth and other durable things, and there were also a few boxes containing some materials, including medicinal herbs, ores, crystals, etc., all of which were valuable and good.
Think about it, can it be ordinary goods that can be treasured and hidden in the warehouse?
There was also a box with things like title deeds, but these things were completely useless to Chen Qi - even if he came to the door with the title deeds, would people recognize them?
Instead, it was revealed that he stole these things, ahh
But Chen Qi won't let go of these things, what he thought in his heart was that even if I don't need it, it's good to add some blockage to you, anyway, these land deeds and other things don't weigh much.
"Developed! developed!"
Chen Qi's excited snot was about to flow out, although these things were not gold coins, many of them were worth more than gold coins!
These twenty large chests together are definitely worth tens of thousands of gold coins!
As a person who even has to save money on silver coins, isn't this equivalent to a heavy jackpot?!
The night was long and dreamy, Chen Qi hurriedly moved, summoned the Ruyi pot and enlarged it, and began to move the box into the pot.
However, just as he was tired of carrying the first chest full of gold coins, he suddenly ......
"Jingle Bell Bell Bell!"
Alarm bells are ringing!
