Chapter 291: Discovered
Although this emperor is mediocre, he loves to be vassal.
The Temple of Nourishing Hearts sits alone, with many trees and bamboos planted at the entrance and around it.
Taking advantage of the concealment of the trees, Fu Jiulan hid in one of the big trees.
He was almost motionless, as if he had blended in with the night, except for a pair of eyes, which were surprisingly bright.
In the darkness, Fu Jiulan silently counted the time while staring intently at the guards patrolling the Heart Cultivation Palace.
As the minutes ticked by, even Yue'er seemed to be tired and hid in the clouds to take a nap.
It just so happened that when the clouds covered the moon, the time had come.
"Come, come, come and assemble!"
The guards patrolling under the courtyard wall heard a shout at this moment, and they all ran to one place.
Seeing that his opportunity came, Fu Jiulan almost didn't hesitate and immediately turned over the wall.
A dark shadow flew through the sky, and then ran towards the treasury of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
When Fu Jiulan stopped, it was only half a minute.
Removing the silver needle from his sleeve, he stabbed the keyhole unhurriedly.
After two clicks, the lock opened.
Fu Jiulan once fell from the Nine Emperors to the rivers and lakes, and was born and died three times, and he also drew a sword to help him when he saw injustice.
By chance, Fu Jiulan rescued a locksmith.
Unexpectedly, this locksmith is the tenth generation of Luban craftsmen, and he is very proficient in all kinds of tricks.
In order to repay Fu Jiulan for saving his life, the locksmith proposed to teach what he had learned in his life.
Because he knows the complete inheritance of the Luban book, he must worship the Luban family.
Fu Jiulan didn't want to add fetters to himself, so he refused.
The descendants of Luban really didn't want to go, and in the end they only taught Fu Jiulan the skill of unlocking and thanked him.
He hadn't used this technique for a long time, but he didn't expect it to help a lot today.
By the time he infiltrated the storehouse of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the patrol outside had just finished changing shifts.
Hurriedly squatting down, Fu Jiulan was not in a hurry to act, but quietly began to wait.
When patrols change shifts, inspections are usually the most severe.
After another half an hour or so, the team will be tired and much more relaxed.
Under the cover of the night, it was also because Fu Jiulan's disguise was in place, so the two waves of people had finished changing shifts, but they still couldn't find out that he had secretly opened the lock of the treasury of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
After a long time, hearing that it seemed to be much quieter outside, Fu Jiulan slowly got up and walked towards the warehouse.
There were a lot of boxes on display in the warehouse, and Fu Jiulan opened them casually, and he was so shaken by the gold, silver and jewelry inside that he couldn't open his eyes.
The Son of Heaven does not do things for the people, but arranges his own pockets to bulge.
Fu Jiulan's eyes showed a trace of disdain, and he closed the first box lightly.
Then I found several chests, which contained gold, silver, jewelry, and strange things.
Fu Jiulan followed and looked all the way, but he didn't find any gall alum in any of the boxes.
Does this thing really exist? felt abrupt in his heart, and Fu Jiulan's brows furrowed involuntarily.
rummaging in the warehouse, Fu Jiulan didn't notice the danger approaching quietly.
The eunuchs and maids in the Heart Cultivation Hall are also on duty, and generally within two hours, they have to change shifts.
At this time, it was time to change shifts, and the two little eunuchs slowly came out of the duty room and walked towards the main hall.
He didn't have to pass by the warehouse, but suddenly he felt a tightness in his lower abdomen, and a rush of urine hit.
"Hey, I'll go to the thatched house first."
Patting the shoulder of the person next to him, a little eunuch spoke.
"There is a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey."
The companion scoffed, but said nothing.
After going up to the thatched house, you have to go through
Through the storeroom.
The little eunuch turned his head to look, and there was no one around, and he went straight to the lock at the door of the storeroom.
Looking closely at the moonlight, sure enough, the lock was opened.
Although he had been prepared, he still shocked him when he knew that someone dared to come and steal the treasury of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the lock in his hand slipped and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, this little eunuch was clever, and in a hurry, he hurriedly pulled his robe to pick it up, so as to avoid the lock falling to the ground and making a sound.
With a long exhalation, the little eunuch carefully hung the lock back on the door.
Even though he had been very careful, he made a subtle noise.
Fu Jiulan has always had good ears, and even the slightest movement can't escape his ears.
Just as he was rummaging through the cabinets to find the alum, he noticed that there seemed to be movement outside.
Immediately stopped the movement in his hand, and Fu Jiulan turned over on the beam.
Little by little, he moved from the beam to the door, and when he looked down, there was indeed a sneaky shadow on the paper window.
Shocked in his heart, Fu Jiulan's face suddenly turned cold.
Since the storehouse is located in the Heart Cultivation Palace, not only have patrols been added here, but even all the windows in the room have been sealed.
This also means that Fu Jiulan has no other way than to go out through the gate.
Lying silently on the beam, Fu Jiulan tried his best to curl up in a dark place.
At this time, a pair of patrolling men had already been spared.
The little eunuch outside the door hurriedly beckoned to them, as if he wanted them to come over.
The commander of the guards, who did not know what was going on, walked over with someone, and was about to speak, when the eunuch pointed to the lock with a frightened expression on his face.
"Commander Wang, I was just passing by the hut when I noticed that the lock at the door of the storehouse was open. I didn't dare to go in to see if there was anyone inside, but I'm afraid that a thief has entered this storehouse tonight and hasn't gone out yet."
Deliberately lowering his voice, the little eunuch hid behind him and said.
"What?"
When he heard that the treasury had entered the thief, the king's face changed.
You must know that this is a temple of nourishing hearts, and the treasury is filled with things that the saints like today.
When the time comes, if you find that something is missing, you don't just ask for their heads.
"I guess the thief hasn't left yet, so the lock on the door hasn't been closed yet. Commander Wang, you quickly lead people to surround the treasury, and when the time comes, you will catch the thief, and you will be regarded as making up for it."
The little eunuch rolled his eyes and gave Commander Wang an idea. 4
"Thank you father-in-law for the point!"
The king suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly beckoned his men to surround the treasury.
The marching men were all wearing armor, and once they scattered and ran away, the movement was not small.
Fu Jiulan, who was lying on the beam of the house, had a bad heart, and there was no way to retreat at this time, so he could only look around to find a place to hide.
The movement outside not only alarmed Fu Jiulan in the warehouse, but also alarmed the emperor on the dragon couch.
"What's going on out there?"
Through the curtain, the emperor asked the maid outside.
"Back to the emperor, there seems to be the footsteps of patrol soldiers outside." The maid replied.
"I'm going to go out and see what I'm clogged for."
As he spoke, the emperor lifted the curtain and stood up.
