76. Secret Passages and Treasures
When Nangong Yuelan came back, she found that Dongfang Jun and Wei Ruge were standing at the gate, anxiously waiting for him to come back.
Although Dongfang Jun didn't have any expression on his face, the fact that he could stand at the door meant that he was a little worried.
As for Wei Ruge, that girl is still holding her little baggage, and people who don't know still think that there are many valuable things in this baggage.
Seeing Nangong Yuelan returning, Dongfang Jun took the lead to greet him, "Thirteenth Master." ”
Nangong Yuelan looked at Dongfang Jun with a smile, the two looked at each other and passed on a lot of information, so Nangong Yuelan smiled and nodded to Dongfang Jun, saying that everything was fine.
Seeing Nangong Yuelan's expression, Dongfang Jun's hanging heart could be regarded as letting go.
"I said, did you steal some of my treasures while I wasn't paying attention? Otherwise, why are you still holding this burden?" Nangong Yuelan walked in front of Wei Ruge with a smile.
Listening to Nangong Yuelan's words, Wei Ruge gave him a fierce look, thinking that this bastard didn't say anything about her arrears, and he also made insulting sarcastic remarks about her!
Touching Wei Ruge's white eyes, Nangong Yuelan smiled shallowly, just when Wei Ruge was fascinated, in an instant, the smile on Nangong Yuelan's face disappeared, replaced by a serious face, he tilted his head slightly, and asked Dongfang Jun who was standing behind him, "How is the terrain exploration?"
"Back to the Thirteenth Master, I have already explored and understood. Dongfang Jun stepped forward and whispered in Nangong Yuelan's ear.
"Okay! Nangong Yuelan said, and walked into the Thirteen Princes' Mansion.
For being able to serve such a beautiful man, the girls up and down the house are crazy, everyone wants to perform well in Nangong Yuelan, but Nangong Yuelan seems to prefer Wei Ruge dangling in front of his eyes, so all his requirements, all his needs, are conveyed by Wei Ruge on his behalf.
Nangong Yuelan didn't come back for long on the front foot, and the prince on the back foot came to the Thirteen Princes' Mansion with many rewards, and said to Nangong Yuelan with a smile, these are all rewards from the emperor, and I hope the Thirteen Princes can live comfortably here.
Along with these rewards, there was also Nangong Yuelan's official uniform.
In other words, from the next day, Nangong Yuelan will wear this clothes and will go to the morning court to participate in the political discussion.
After dinner, in Nangong Yuelan's room, Nangong Yuelan left Wei Ruge and Dongfang Jun behind, while the other guards were scattered around the room like shadows, monitoring the surrounding movements, including who passed by and what they wanted to approach here.
"Tell me what you've discovered today. Nangong Yuelan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, this tea was brewed by Wei Ruge himself, so he was not worried about allergies.
"The subordinates explored the entire Thirteen Princes' Mansion, and found no abnormalities, and also inquired with the people nearby, this mansion turned out to be a minister's, because the minister was corrupt and perverted the law, after being raided, this mansion was empty for a few years, this time the emperor summoned the thirteen masters back to Beijing, and gave this mansion to the thirteen masters. Dongfang Jun reported one by one, "However, I found that this mansion has many secret rooms and secret passages. ”
"Oh?" Hearing Dongfang Jun's words, Nangong Yuelan's eyes lit up, "Could it be that no one found out about these secret rooms and secret passages when they raided the house?"
"I think so. Dongfang Jun replied decisively.
"What do you mean by that?" Nangong Yuelan asked.
Dongfang Jun looked around at this room and said in a low voice: "This room was originally the bedroom for corrupt officials, and the main entrance to the secret room and secret passage of the entire underworld is in this room. ”
Dongfang Jun said, walked to a cabinet, stretched his hand to the back, not only pulled something, only heard some slight sounds under the bed, Dongfang Jun walked under the bed again, groped for a long time, I don't know what to press, the cabinet slowly moved away, on the blank wall, there is a strangely shaped hole.
Then Dongfang Jun picked up the vase placed by the window, picked up a jade mat underneath, walked to the wall, and put the jade mat into the hole, which was just right, not bad.
Then, after Dongfang Jun held the jade mat and spun it for half a circle, the wall in front of him slowly opened, and a long and dark staircase appeared.
"Wow!" Wei Ruge opened his mouth wide, and he could only say wow!
She walked to the entrance, looked at the stairs below with no end in sight, and sighed heartily, "This mechanism is too complicated to design!!"
"It's because it's so complicated that it's not discovered. Nangong Yuelan stood behind Wei Ruge with her hands behind her back and said with a smile.
"Sure enough......" Wei Ruge stared at the dust on the ground, and at first glance, no one had walked through it after a few years, and some shallow footprints that could be seen under the dust belonged to only one person, and it must have belonged to the original owner of this mansion.
"Dongfang Jun, you are amazing! You have discovered this!" Wei Ruge said with a sigh.
"Do you want to go down and have a look?" Nangong Yuelan said, giving Dongfang Jun a look, Dongfang Jun nodded, lit the torch set aside, and walked down first with the torch, Wei Ruge followed closely, and finally Nangong Yuelan.
The three of them walked along the stairs for a long time, and finally reached the bottom, and what appeared in front of Wei Ruge was a huge underground passage, and the intersection led in all directions.
The three of them walked each road as if they were exploring, and they were surprised to find that each passage led to a different place, and even the palace and outside the city.
"It's really unimaginable that that corrupt official will be caught!" Wei Ruge was so tired that he leaned against the wall and gasped, "He can really use these passages to escape." ”
"Maybe it's because he couldn't run away. Nangong Yuelan looked at the passage that extended in all directions, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, "I really want to thank the emperor for rewarding me with this mansion." ”
Wei Ruge leaned against the wall, and suddenly felt that something was sucking her, so she wiped it with her hand, she just touched it very lightly, and the wall where she reached out suddenly moved, Wei Ruge didn't stand firmly, screamed and fell backwards, and sat on the ground with a butt.
"Ah...... Pain hurts hurt......" Wei Ruge cried out in pain, suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him, looking at the golden eyes full of light, he forgot any pain.
"It looks like this place really hasn't been discovered. Nangong Yuelan walked in with a smile.
I saw that this was a very tightly revised secret room, which contained countless boxes of all sizes, not to mention anything else, just gold and silver, some scattered all over the ground, and all kinds of unnamed treasures and jewelry, Wei Ruge's eyes were almost blind!
"Wei Ruge, you really found a terrible place. Nangong Yuelan smiled, picked up a beaded hairpin and handed it to Wei Ruge, "This is given to you as a reward." ”
Wei Ruge got up from the ground, patted the soil on his buttocks, took the hairpin, and suddenly thought of Wu's mother, so he said to Nangong Yuelan: "Can I give this to Wu's mother?"
"Mother Wu?" Nangong Yuelan obviously didn't know who Mother Wu was, and asked with raised eyebrows.
So Wei Ruge told Nangong Yuelan everything he encountered today, and told Nangong Yuelan that Wu's mother was the person sent by the emperor to spy on him.
After hearing this, Nangong Yuelan pondered for a while, then said with a smile, "Give it to her." Wei Ruge, you must please this Mother Wu, for the time being, I want to keep her, and let her pass on some good words in front of the emperor. ”
"Hmm. Although Wei Ruge didn't quite understand what Nangong Yuelan was planning, the decision he made must have his reasons.
"Today's harvest was not small, it was good, it was very good. Nangong Yuelan said with a smile as she stroked the chests full of gold and silver treasures.
That smile means a lot.
Wei Ruge knew that Nangong Yuelan didn't look down on these things at all, and what he might have was more than ten times more than this.
"When we first arrived in the capital, from a certain point of view, we are not familiar with the place, and we are outsiders, so no matter what we do, we must be cautious. Nangong Yuelan instructed, "Dongfang Jun, let the guards monitor the subordinates in the entire palace at any time, and if they find anything abnormal, they must report to me one by one, and if necessary, we will get rid of some first." ”
"Yes!" replied Dongfang Jun.
"Wei Ruge, in addition to serving my daily life, your daily task is Mother Wu, whether you can serve her well depends on your ability!" Nangong Yuelan looked at Wei Ruge with a smile, and nodded involuntarily when she saw her, "I know she bullied you, you are unwilling, don't worry, I will definitely let her come back ten times in the future." ”
"Okay, everyone is tired today, rest early, and I'll have to go to the morning pilgrimage tomorrow. Nangong Yuelan said.
After serving Nangong Yuelan to lie down and rest, Wei Ruge went to the room next to her.
This room is next to Nangong Yuelan's bedroom, and Nangong Yuelan specially ordered the room to be cleaned up for Wei Ruge, so that if there is anything wrong, he can take care of her.
Wei Ruge walked out of Nangong Yuelan's door, stood in the courtyard, and looked up at the starry sky overhead, the night sky here was many times brighter than the city.
But life here is just as deceitful, and everyone wants to survive for their own different purposes, so they have to pay different prices for it.
Wei Ruge never thought that she would also be involved in this kind of struggle for power, her character is not suitable at all, but thinking is one thing, and the fact is another.
Isn't she doing things for Nangong Yuelan willingly now?
Although they were all trivial things, she felt that as long as she could help him, even if it was just a small thing, she would feel very happy.
Is this the power of love?
Wei Ruge covered his chest with his hands, maybe there really would be a day when they could be together, enjoy this family fun, live like an ordinary couple, and raise a lot of children......
Thinking about it, the corners of Wei Ruge's mouth inadvertently showed a smile.
