Chapter 62: The Temptation of Money
When the lights were extinguished and everyone was asleep, four people in night clothes carefully bypassed the patrolling guards and came to the city lord's residence.
One of them slowly opened the door, and the four of them walked lightly and breathed shallowly, lest they wake up the sleeping people in the room.
One of them, who appeared to be their leader, gave the other three a look, and the three men were on guard with daggers in hand, while he himself pulled a small porcelain vase from his sleeve, which he opened slowly and carefully.
A puff of white smoke came out of it, but it dissipated into the air after a while, and it seemed that everything had not changed, and if you listened closely, the castle lord's breathing became even longer.
The four of them waited for a while, and two of them came forward and tentatively poked the sleeping city lord with their hands, and seeing that he had not woken up, they took out the sack that had been prepared long ago and put him in it like a pig. One person carried it on his shoulder.
The black-clothed man carrying the city lord obviously breathed heavily, and he felt that he was no different from carrying a pig of nearly two hundred catties at this time, the only difference was that the pig could still eat meat after killing it for the New Year, but this city lord really had no use for him, so he could only call it a waste pig.
"You two go first!" said the leader, softly.
"No!"
"Be careful, don't be discovered, if you do, you don't have to go back!"
"Don't worry, head, we were also trained by you, just this waste pig, it's a little heavier, but we can still bring it back!"
"Stop talking nonsense, go back!"
One was carrying a waste pig, the other was vigilant on the side, and the two left cautiously as if they had come in.
The remaining two came to the courtyard of the second young man of the Wang family, which was different from other places, and the others were all lights off and fell asleep. The courtyard was brightly lit, and if you listened carefully outside the courtyard, there was still the laughter of women inside.
"Boss, shall we go in?"
"Let's take a look at the situation first!" If no one is fine, but this is obviously the second young man of the Wang family who is happy in the gentle township, he is extremely disdainful, and he is not afraid of dying on this woman's belly.
"But there are too many of them, it's hard to start!"
"Wait, I don't believe he can still sleep?"
The two of them crept up on the wall in stealth, staring intently at the room where the sound of the glamor came from.
Since Yu Linglong stunned the Wang family, she was trapped in a cage and couldn't get out, so the two had to wait helplessly, but fortunately, Yuan Wang and Nian Ling followed the footprints left by Yu Linglong to find it.
"County Lord, are you all right?" asked the Commander Nian with concern as soon as he came in.
And Yuan Wang's eyes looked around, and when he saw the stunned Wang family, he walked up to him, touched it up and down, and finally found a key.
He hurriedly opened the iron cage where Yu Linglong was kept.
"It's okay, did you see anyone else when you came in?"
"I haven't encountered this one!" the Commander continued.
Yu Linglong was puzzled, it stands to reason that this underground project is huge, and there should be someone to guard it, why when they come in, it is like entering a no-man's land?
She put her doubts aside, "Commander Nian, you take the Wang family and Su Ye back first, and by the way, you also report peace to your father!"
"County Lord, aren't you going back?"
"I'll take a look here, you guys go back first!"
"No, it's too dangerous!" "What people fear most is not the known danger, but the unknown, this place is full of strange atmosphere, if something happens to the county lord, he can't explain it to the king!"
Yu Linglong naturally knew his worries, but she also had her own considerations in her heart, after all, she had already entered here, at least she had to investigate clearly, she always felt that there was a bigger conspiracy hidden here.
"With Yuan Wang following, it's okay!"
The Nian commander knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he gave up persuasion, hoping that Yuan Wang could protect the county lord. In all fairness, Yuan Wang was born as a slave, and he was a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Slaves are the lowest group of people in this society, and they are actually promoted by people, because more often than not, they are not even human beings, just like cattle and horses, and they all have a common name 'livestock'.
Hundreds of years of thinking have been deeply rooted in their hearts, and of course, he also believes in the county lord's vision, and there should be nothing wrong with looking at people. It's just a little bit of a diaphragm in my heart.
So he took Su Ye, carried the Wang family, and returned the same way. And Yu Linglong came out of the hall, and this time she carefully observed.
It's not very big, there is only one palace, and around the palace is a small garden, and there are no plants growing in it, more of a man-made dead thing, except for the room she entered, there are five rooms around it.
She picked a room closest to her, pushed the door open, and walked in.
In her eyes, the golden light sparkled, stabbing her eyes subconsciously closed, and when she opened them again, she could see this place clearly.
The whole room was filled with gold, and the gold shone brightly in the light of the night pearl. She was not short of money, but she had never seen anyone who could put so much gold!
She walked out and came to another room, which was filled with silver, and went down in turn, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, antique jewelry, and so on.
After a circle, she really doubted that she was a poor person. I'm afraid that the treasury of the entire Liang country doesn't have such money!
To put it bluntly, it is a place to store money, there is so much money, it is not something that can be collected overnight, it must be after the unremitting efforts of several generations, she even has some doubts. When they were not out of the capital, they had a heart of disobedience. Only then was the monarch at that time found a reason and demoted out of the national capital.
The afterglow of her eyes swept over Yuan Wang, she was also very relieved by his performance, if she was someone else, she would have seen so many treasures, I am afraid she would have been unable to hold it for a long time.
But although his eyes were full of fire, he was able to restrain his inner desires and followed her quietly. It also made her feel that he was a person who could take on a heavy responsibility.
But all this is a torment for Yuan Wang, he has never seen so much silver, if he moves out, he will not be able to spend it all his life! But everything here, he has no right to ask, and it doesn't belong to him!
He tried his best to restrain the desires in his heart, and he didn't want to disappoint the woman who saved him from fire and water!
At this time, there was only one room left, and the front was all about money, and she felt that it was inseparable from money, so she didn't bother to open it.
"County Lord, don't you want to take a look at this room?" Yuan Wang reminded loudly.
"It's just something yellow and white, and you don't need to look at it. ”
"County Lord, I think it's probably different!"
"Why?"
"The first few rooms, all the same, the world's most valuable things, just a few, are put in the first few rooms, this last one probably has nothing to do with money. ”
Come to think of it, there is only one room left and right, rather than guessing, it is better to open it directly and understand it.
She stepped forward, reaching out and slowly pushing the door, when a sudden "......" broke the space and struck her in the face.
Yuan Wang was worried that an accident would happen, and his mind was extremely concentrated, and when the voice sounded, his body reacted quickly, protecting her behind him, and his body tilted to the left.
A cold arrow slashed through his arm, but in a moment, blood seeped out of his clothes.
After a while, Yu Linglong reacted, and she was afraid for a while, she was really dangerous just now.
"Thank you!" she said gratefully.
"The county lord is polite!"
"You're hurt?" she saw the blood oozing from his arm.
"Minor injury, it's okay!"
Yu Linglong looked up at his complexion, no, this arrow was poisonous, she didn't say a word, she directly violently ripped off his clothes, her sturdy upper body was exposed, and the clothes on her arms were also ripped off.
Her movements were too fast, Yuan Wang didn't have time to stop it, her upper body was naked, and a trace of embarrassment crossed his eyes.
Yu Linglong didn't care what he thought, and at this time, the blood oozing from the wound had turned black, and his lips began to turn blue and purple.
She covered it with her big sleeves, reached into the treasure bag, took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill from it, and handed it to Yuan Wang.
Yuan Wang also obviously felt the changes in his body, and without saying a word, he directly swallowed the pill into his abdomen.
She didn't know what this poison was, and she wasn't sure if there was a medicine in it, so she could only use this hundred poison pills for the time being.
After eating the Hundred Poison Pill, she gave her a pulse, and her brows couldn't help frowning, the Hundred Poison Pill just made his poison not spread too fast, and if she really wanted to solve it, with her current level, she couldn't solve it at all. I'm afraid I can only let Su Yan understand.
Yuan Wang looked at her frowning brows, his heart seemed to be as sweet as honey, sweet at the same time, his heart was a little unbearable, he didn't want her to frown for herself, she was in his heart, just like an angel, the little angel can only be happy and happy.
"County Lord, it's okay!"
Yu Linglong flashed self-blame in her heart, if she had been cautious just now, she would not have been hurt in order to protect her.
She took out a handkerchief and bandaged him, "Don't worry, I'll help you get rid of your poison." ”
"Well, I believe the county lord!" he said earnestly, putting on his clothes.
"You take a rest first, I'll go in and have a look!" With that, she turned and stood in the doorway and looked inside.
This room was not large, less than a third the size of the other rooms, and it was full of bookshelves with all kinds of books.
"County Lord!" he hurriedly shouted as she stepped into it.
"What's wrong?"
"I'd better go in first!" he was afraid that something would happen. He didn't even have time to save her!
"You're hurt!"
"It doesn't matter. With that, he stepped through the door one step ahead of him.
The expected danger did not come, "County Lord, it's okay!"
Yu Linglong was helpless, she didn't plan to let him try the law, but since there was no danger after trying, she walked in. Come to the bookshelf.
