The tunnel is shaped like a dog's hole, not too high or too wide, and at intervals there is a stake to bear the load.

People are among them, and they can only squat forward.

Zhang Chu and the mule walked more than 20 meters in the tunnel, and they were at the end.

Zhang Chu slowly stood up, looked at the top of his head with the help of the dim light of the fire fold, and found that there was a stone slab above his head.

He shifted the fire fold to his left hand, and his right hand pressed against the stone slab, tentatively moving to one side.

The slate does not move at all.

To say the least, there are two thousand catties!

Zhang Chu was not surprised, and secretly said that this matter was done reliably.

"Take it. ”

He handed the fire fold to the mule behind him.

The mule took the fire fold and gave it light to him.

Zhang Chu pressed his hands against the slate, let out a low snort, exerted force with both hands, and pushed the slate to move slowly.

With a low grinding sound, the stone slab slowly moved to the side, and a faint light fell into the tunnel through the gap.

Zhang Chu didn't push the slate away completely, only moved a gap that could pass people, and then stopped.

He grabbed the edge of the tunnel and jumped out of the tunnel, looking around.

It was an empty warehouse several feet high, and light poured in through the fence window under the cornice, so that you could see without a fire.

In one corner of the warehouse, there are more than a dozen large wooden boxes.

"That's a lot!"

The mule crawled out of the tunnel and looked at the dozen or so large wooden boxes in the corner.

"Speed check, don't let go of anything suspicious!"

"Understood!"

The two of them walked towards the dozen or so large wooden boxes.

......

Zhang Chu quickly unloaded the wooden boxes that had been piled up in a ball and laid them flat on the ground.

The mules opened the wooden crates one by one.

The division of labor is clear.

The first wooden box opened, and it was an unknown herb.

The second wooden box opened, and it was an unknown herb.

The third wooden box was opened, and it was still an unknown herb......

The mule opened six or seven large wooden boxes in a row, all of which were filled with herbs.

Although they didn't know any of these herbs, just looking at this kind of messy stacking of boxes and boxes, they knew that they were definitely not precious medicines.

Like the ginseng of the year, which one is not used in a brocade box, and each ginseng is finely fixed, just the appearance gives people a feeling that it is very valuable, and there is no money in the pocket and even the price is not daring to ask?

The mule still did not believe in evil, and rummaged through the boxes of herbs, checked whether the boxes had a mezzanine, and finally found that there were indeed only herbs in the herb boxes.

The Prancing Horse Village and the Wu clan have such a big battle, is it just for this pile of worthless rotten grass?

The mule had a bewildered look on his face.

Zhang Chu's expression was as usual.

The people of Yum Dao had clearly told him that there was a batch of herbs from outside the customs and a batch of jewels in this shipment.

The mule opened the ninth large chest, and finally made a new discovery.

A box of glittering jadeite, agate, jade, and a small amount of gold and silver jewelry.

Look at the remaining five or six large wooden boxes, all of them are such vulgar things.

The two of them double-checked, and there was really nothing else.

Zhang Chu frowned deeply.

These jadeite, agate, and jade are indeed not cheap items.

Zhang Chu doesn't know much about the jewelry market in AllBright Mansion, but this batch of jewelry, to say the least, is worth tens of thousands of taels, if you can control the shipment, it is not difficult to sell a hundred thousand taels.

But this batch of jewels alone is not enough to make Wu Shi and Gu Xiong like great enemies.

"Could it be that I'm nervous?"

Zhang Chu secretly reflected.

All his speculations about this shipment came from the reaction of Wushi and Yuema Village to this shipment.

In fact, he had not received any substantial evidence that there was a problem with the shipment.

What if the U-clan transported this shipment just to stabilize AllBright's jewelry market?

What if the Wu clan doesn't admit that this batch of goods belongs to his Wu clan, but he can't afford to provoke Gu Xiong, and he doesn't want to smash his Wu clan's signature expedient?

What if Gu Xiong was in a hurry to get rid of this batch of goods, was he really short of money?

What if Wu Shi is willing to exchange a favor for this batch of goods, just to save his Wu Clan's signboard?

It is indeed too much of a coincidence that these four possibilities appear at the same time, but just like Li Ning, everything is possible.

Just when Zhang Chu was reviewing the whole thing over and over again, he suddenly heard a "sonorous" sound.

As soon as he looked down, he saw the mule with a fancy gold scimitar studded with jewels, looking closely.

He didn't take it to heart, and said casually: "Stop playing, hurry up and check again, and withdraw quickly if there is no problem." ”

Isn't it normal for a handicraft to appear in a batch of jewelry?

"The subordinates have already checked it, and there is nothing wrong with this batch of goods...... If you want to say weird, it's just this knife. ”

The mule pondered the golden scimitar in his hand: "How can a knife appear in a batch of jewels?"

Zhang Chu was stunned...... Knife?

Oh, yes!

He reacted and found that he had fallen into the misthinking of his previous life again.

With the eyes of his previous life, he could see the positioning of this knife artifact at a glance, but he ignored the essence of being a weapon!

How can a weapon appear in a batch of jewelry?

"Show me!"

The mule put the scimitar into the scabbard and handed it to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu took the scimitar and looked at it carefully.

This golden scimitar is very beautiful.

The handle of the knife lattice scabbard is made of gold and decorated with the finest agate, opal and turquoise.

A lifelike wolf's head is carved at the bottom of the hilt, and the patterns on the scabbard are even more intricate, and the whole body shines with an exotic beauty.

Then pull the scimitar out of the scabbard a few inches, the blade is as bright as a mirror, the knife edge is extremely sharp, even if it is not as good as the murderous knife of Jingyun, it must have the ability to blow hair and break hair!

From the perspective of Zhang Chu and the two emperors, in terms of craftsmanship and value alone, only the "Qianlong Emperor Hunting Knife", which had been sold at Christie's auction, can be compared to this golden scimitar.

"Wait!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Chu suddenly had a spirit.

"Emperor?"

"Golden scimitar?"

"I'm a muddy horse!"

He jerked the entire scimitar out of its scabbard and examined the blade of the scimitar.

On the side of the blade of the scimitar, there was a row of earthworm-like exotic characters engraved.

"Mule, find something that can write. ”

When the mule heard this, his head was big.

Where can I find you something to write on now?

He looked left and right, and suddenly had an idea, pulled out the hat of the fire fold, extinguished the fire with a mouthful of saliva, and then handed it to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu looked at him with a black line.

The mule said embarrassedly, "There is really nothing else, you can make do with it." ”

Zhang Chu reluctantly took the fire fold, looked left and right, and couldn't find a place to write.

"Pull up your sleeves!"

Zhang Chu said to the mule.

The mule had a dog-like look on his face.

Yes, you can do it yourself, and use your own spit.

Zhang Chu pulled his arm over, compared it to the earthworm text on the scimitar knife, and slowly bent and drew slowly.

Before he could make a few strokes, the sound of a bird suddenly sounded "cuckoo, cuckoo" from the back of the warehouse.

When the mule heard this, his face changed sharply, "Oh no, the officers and soldiers are dispatched, are they coming for this batch of goods?"

Zhang Chu's face changed wildly for a day: "The officers and soldiers have already entered the east of the city?"

"No, this is a signal for officers and soldiers to move out of the North Battalion. ”

Zhang Chu's heart turned sharply.

If things were as he had guessed, there was a good chance that the officers and soldiers were coming for this shipment.

Or rather, it's for this golden scimitar.

The county government must have received the wind a long time ago, so he is waiting for the Wu clan to receive the goods, so that he can catch a person and get the stolen goods!

At this second, thousands of thoughts turned in Zhang Chu's mind, and the golden scimitar in his hand squeaked.

"I've already been involved, and it's too late to get out now!"

He gritted his teeth fiercely, ignoring the earthworm text that had not yet been copied, and inserted the golden scimitar back into the scabbard, "Hurry up and clean up, you send a message to the Blood Shadow Guard, let them report to Wu Qianyuan, and ask Wu Qianyuan to come and receive the goods quickly!"

The mule subconsciously asked, "Let you inform Wu Qianyuan?"

Zhang Chu: "It's too late, send the news quickly!"

He stuffed the gold cutlass into a box of jewels and restored a dozen boxes to their original shapes.

The mule ran to the back of the warehouse, stretched his neck and learned to call: "Goo ~ Goo ......Goo

Soon, a response voice came from outside the warehouse: "Goo~Goo." ”

Zhang Chu finished his work, and rushed to the front of the tunnel with a black line on his face, "What kind of ghost signal are you?"

The mule smiled awkwardly: "This is the cry of a young chicken, when the code was set last night, the Blood Shadow Guard directly notified Wu Qianyuan that receiving the goods was an alternative plan, so the code ......"

"Don't be verbose, I'll talk about it when I have something to say. ”

Zhang Chu pulled him and jumped into the tunnel, returning the slate to its original position.

Then let the mule in front and him behind, and crawl forward frantically along the way he came.

While climbing, remove the load-bearing stakes.

After retracting five or six wooden stakes in a row, Zhang Chu turned around, took a deep breath, and slapped his palm on the top of the tunnel behind him.

The surging internal energy burst forward along the dirt.

After the load-bearing wooden piles were removed, the tunnel, which was not very stable, collapsed immediately.

Seeing this, the mule roared in horror: "Master Chu, the tunnel is about to collapse, climb ...... quickly."

......

The two of them crawled out of the tunnel with a disgraced face.

The mule rushed to the back of the house to fetch water for Zhang Chu, while Zhang Chu himself hurriedly changed his clothes.

"It's too late, you go first, leave a brother of the Blood Shadow Guard around me, and once I fire the arrow, immediately inform Li Zheng to do something!"

The mule looked at Zhang Chu in disbelief: "Master Chu, has the matter really come to this point?"

Zhang Chu took a deep breath, "It's even more serious than I imagined...... If the Wu clan didn't prepare in advance, there would be no name of 'Wulian City' in Xuanbei Prefecture in the future, you go quickly!"

The mule was shocked, dropped the phrase "be careful in everything", and rushed out with a body of dirt.

......

Not long after Zhang Chu and the mule left the warehouse, the tile at the top of the warehouse was lifted, and a masked man in black slid down a rope into the warehouse.

As soon as the man in black landed, he rushed straight to the stack of large wooden boxes in the corner without the slightest hesitation, and then raised his leg and kicked it.

"Bang. ”

A dozen large wooden boxes stacked neatly exploded on the spot, and herbs and various jewels were scattered on the ground like heavenly maidens.

"Smack. ”

The golden scimitar was raised high and fell to the ground.

The man in black's gaze was instantly fixed on the golden scimitar.
