Chapter 45: Wen Hou was ordered to take the treasure

Lu Bu felt that he had fallen into the trap set up by the enemy when the large army was fighting.

It's good that it's not deep here.

As soon as Lu Bu's feet touched the ground, he immediately rose to his feet, his halberd crossed his chest, and vigilantly patrolled around.

There are no enemies here, just damp air currents and endless darkness.

The surroundings were quiet, and sure enough, it was like an ancient tomb with only death.

After a long time, the voice of an errand officer came from above: "Tang Zhuangshi, are you still safe?" ”

Lu Bu put away the halberd.

"Benhou is safe, and throw the torch down."

A torch that was still burning was thrown from above to the ground, and the darkness was immediately dispelled.

Lu Bu picked up the torch.

Only then did he realize that the space here was actually very small, like a sealed coffin, and there was no other exit except for the narrow gap above his head.

His eyes fell on the box that took up most of the underground space.

These chests were surprisingly large, and the wooden boxes were wrapped in whole animal skins, and they were covered with iron nails, all of which were covered with black-brown rust due to the erosion of the damp air currents underground, like a pair of black eyes stuffed with pupils, which made people shudder.

LΓΌ Bu also began to feel admiration for the general of the Western Xia Kingdom.

The design of digging such a passage to make the pool water flow through the middle of the channel, and then setting up such an underground space under the passage to ensure that the pool water above does not seep in.

"Tang Zhuangshi, is there a treasure down there?" The messenger lay on it and asked Lu Bu.

"There are only a few boxes here, you wait for one person to come down, and go and prepare the rope for the two of us to send it out." Lu Bu said.

Soon, another errand officer came down.

Suppressing their curiosity, the two began to move the boxes and transport them underneath the exit.

The heaviness of the box was beyond their imagination, and as you can imagine, there were indeed a lot of treasures in it.

The danger came when he was carrying the last box.

I don't know what was pressed under the box, as soon as the box was out of the ground, there was a violent vibration under the feet, and then there was a muffled sound overhead, and a heavy wooden plank that was also full of iron nails fell straight down and smashed into the top of Lu Bu's head.

When the whistling wooden board was less than a foot away from the top of Lu Bu's head, Lu Bu pulled out his halberd and poked at the plank.

The halberd sank deep into the plank.

Perhaps it was too long, the planks had already shown signs of decay, and with the piercing of the halberd, the iron nails attached to it ejected one after another, but fortunately, the distance was very close, and the force of the fall was not large, so it did not scratch his skin.

Lu Bu flipped the halberd over hard, and the moment he pulled out the halberd, the person had already jumped far away.

The planks fell to the ground, and the remaining iron nails pierced into the ground.

Wiping a handful of cold sweat from his forehead, Lu Bu's face showed a contemptuous sneer.

The wealth looted from the Great Song Dynasty, but to use such despicable means to stop the Great Song people, this general of the Western Xia Kingdom is not only full of wisdom, but also greedy and shameless.

It took half an hour for all the boxes to be pulled up.

In the evening, Lord Bao and Lu Bu and others had already arrived at the government office of Chuzhou Mansion.

Since Fei Shi had been brought into the capital by Lord Bao, and the emperor had not yet appointed someone to replace him, he was temporarily represented by a Fu Cheng named Hu Cheng.

This person was under the disciple of Lord Bao in his early years, and he was quite appreciated by Bao Zheng, but because of Fei Shi's flying and domineering at the beginning, this Lord Fucheng had no use.

Bao Zheng intended for him to succeed Fei She, but he did not get the emperor's approval.

Now, all of Fei's comrades have been locked up, and almost all the people in the government are new faces.

"The lower official knocks to see the teacher." As soon as Hu Cheng met, he knelt in front of Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng helped him up, and ordered people to transport all the boxes in the car to the palace.

In front of everyone, Mr. Bao opened the box.

The entire mansion was instantly shrouded in jewels.

Excluding some antiquities such as calligraphy, paintings, and scriptures, the gold, silver, and jewelry alone have reached 2.5 million taels after rough calculations.

It can be imagined that the wealth looted by the Western Xia Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty was huge.

With such a huge wealth, it is no wonder that Fei Yong and others are desperate for their lives to snatch it.

"The stakes are very high, and I also ask Lord Hu Cheng to send someone to seal it quickly, and early tomorrow morning, the official will immediately leave for Beijing to avoid long nights and dreams." Bao Zheng said to Hu Cheng.

Hu Cheng didn't dare to be careless, and immediately found a few confidants to reseal the box.

Lu Bu knew that he had done it again tonight.

However, Master Bao did not ask Lu Bu to guard these boxes, but asked him to follow him out for a trip.

Not long after the car left the city, Lu Bu found out that this Bao Zheng was going to Qinglian Nunnery.

When we arrived at the gate of the nunnery, the gate was about to close, and a little nun was about to go to the door to take off the lantern. Seeing a carriage coming, he hesitated for a moment and withdrew his hands.

"Dare to ask the little master, can Master Cihui be in the nunnery?" Master Bao asked.

The little nun looked at Bao Zheng and Lu Bu who was following him, and suddenly smiled.

"Are the two donors from the Chuzhou Mansion? My master said that there would be an important guest visiting tonight, and when the day came, Xiao Ni thought that he would not come. ”

Bao Zheng glanced at Lu Bu.

"Wait for Xiao Ni to call Senior Sister Miaoling, and she will take the donor to meet my master." The little nun said and ran into the nunnery.

It seems that the former princess of the Western Xia Kingdom had already expected that she would find this treasure soon, Bao Zheng smiled bitterly.

It didn't take long for Miao Ling to come out under the leadership of the little nun.

"Lord Bao, big brother hero." As soon as Miao Ling saw the two, she was so excited that her little face was covered with redness.

Lu Bu stared at Miao Ling's little face, feeling that it was a little more charming than when he first met her, and if he changed into the same clothes as Chen Yuniang and the others, his appearance might be even better.

"My master was also very happy to know that the two of you were coming, and ordered Xiao Ni to take you in to see her immediately." Miao Ling said, but she had already come to Lu Bu and asked in a low voice, "Is my good sister-in-law okay?" ”

"All is well." Lu Bu nodded.

"That's good, my sister-in-law doesn't know martial arts, and my little sister is still worried that she won't be able to stand the fatigue of driving and horses on the way." Miao Ling said.

Bao Zheng glanced at Miao Ling.

"The little master has a relationship with Tang Zhuangshi, and he hasn't seen him for many days, so you can talk here, and the official will go to see Master Cihui alone."

"That's the case, Miao Ling, thank you." Without waiting for Lu Bu to speak, Miao Ling hurriedly said.

Master Bao smiled but did not answer, and entered the nunnery under the guidance of another little nun.

At this time, Master Cihui was already waiting at the door of the meditation room.

After sending away the little nun, Master Bao arched his hand and said, "The lower official came rashly to ask the princess about something." ”

"The poor nun has long expected that it will not be long before he finds the treasure with the wisdom of Lord Bao, and since he has now completed the work entrusted by Banzai, what else do you want to ask the poor nun for?" Cihui said.

Bao Zheng smiled, "Just to find out the relationship between the Western Xia general and the princess who buried the treasure at the beginning?" ”

Cihui's face changed instantly.
