Looking at her somewhat lonely back, Gu Yan suddenly felt a little unbearable.

When this little guy first joined the gang, he happened to be in charge of reception. Because he was born thin and had an extra-introverted personality, he was always bullied by those wild boys with snot. Once he happened to be bumped into, not only scolded the group of boys, but also beat the half-sized boy who moved his hands and feet. Since then, as long as Li Tingxuan sees him, he will be called 'Brother Gu'. It's just that later his position changed, and he saw it relatively rarely. A few years ago, I saw that the other party had become a heroic young man, and he was very polite and polite to him. This made him feel relieved and a little disappointed at the same time.

Seeing that the two of them were about to disappear around the corner, Gu Yan finally made up his mind and said, "When I see the young gang leader, I will explain to him your merits this time, if he is willing to see you, I will send someone to the 'Furong Water Pavilion' to inform you." ”

"Okay, thank you Brother Gu!"

Li Tingxuan turned her head and smiled sweetly at him, and between her eyebrows and eyes, she could vaguely see the appearance of the bean sprouts back then.

Gu Yan also smiled, this long-lost 'Brother Gu' made a trace of long-lost warmth float in his heart.

Seeing that the two had finally disappeared, Gu Yan lay on the ground again and listened, and then chose a passage and walked quickly. After a few turns and a few more forks in the road, he finally stopped.

It was a very narrow passage, and the light was very dim, but fortunately there was a faint light from above, and I could barely see the surroundings clearly.

If you look up, you will find that the top of your head is no longer a layer of rammed earth, but a heavy iron plate. Similarly, there is an identical iron plate on the wall of the cave on the right-hand side, and a small hammer next to it.

Gu Yan didn't go to get the small hammer, but groped his hand on the cave wall for a while, grabbed an extremely thin silk rope and pulled it gently.

It didn't take long to hear footsteps above me, followed by a low voice, "Who?"

Gu Yan hurriedly said: "Yesterday, I was looking for an antique in the shopkeeper of Xiatuo, and I made an appointment to pick it up today." ”

Then I heard what seemed to be someone muttering from above, and then the sound of hurried footsteps.

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and stood quietly below waiting.

Not long after, the footsteps approached, and then a crisp female voice said, "Open the door, let him come up!"

"Yes!"

With a piercing 'click' sound, the imported iron plate was slowly uncovered, and a thick rope hung down.

Gu Yan grabbed the rope and tugged at it, then his hand tightened, and the whole person began to rise slowly.

This was actually a well-furnished study, and if it weren't for the iron plate that had just been closed under his feet, he would have thought he was wrong. A few servants in green clothes and small hats next to him were staring at him vigilantly.

"You are Gu Yan?"

Gu Yan was obediently standing in place for people to search, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look, and saw a girl in an emerald green skirt who came out from behind a row of bookshelves, looking at him with curiosity on her face.

Gu Yan hurriedly saluted and said, "It's right down here!"

The girl jumped away and said with a smile: "I'm just a maid, you have to salute and wait for a while." Come with me!" nodded at him and led the way in front of him.

......

"Why? After watching it for so long, do you see any clues?"

In the elegant room, He Yu looked at the frowning brows of the shopkeeper Qiu, and said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Qiu shook his head slightly, put the black box back on the table with some dejection, and sighed: "The pattern of this box is very beautiful!"

"Why don't you take it for the next view?"

Ni Pengfei followed the prestige, and it was actually the young man who had never spoken out.

He met him and opened his mouth, and quickly pushed the box carefully in front of the young man.

The young man did not pick it up immediately, but closed his eyes and stretched out his slender and white right hand, and his index and middle fingers gently touched the edge of the box and slowly touched them around.

At first, he frowned slightly, and a puzzled look appeared on his face. But soon, I don't know what he thought, the direction of his finger changed, and he touched it back. So over and over again, stroking on the box for a long time.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth raised and smiled, opened his eyes that were as clear as water, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper He, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are becoming more and more cunning." ”

He Yu smiled and arched his hand: "He is worthy of being the young gang leader of the largest gang in the world, his observation is really amazing, I admire it!" After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

The rest of the people were confused, not knowing what kind of dumb riddle the two were playing.

The autumn shopkeeper's autumn eyes swept over the faces of the two, and he said angrily: "Shopkeeper He, such a happy thing, you might as well say it so that everyone can have a good time." ”

He Yu smiled slightly, but he didn't mean to hide it, pointed to the black box, and said with a smile: "You take a closer look at that box." ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Qiu's lips curled slightly, and he said aggrievedly: "If the slave family can see it, they would have seen it long before Zheng Gongzi, and now if they look at it again, it's just a joke." Shopkeeper He, you sincerely let me make a fool of myself in front of everyone, yes or no?"

He Yu almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, hurriedly swallowed it, and said hurriedly: "Shopkeeper Qiu, you want my life, if this is known by that person, can I still live?"

Looking at the other party's deliberately pretended panicked appearance, Shopkeeper Qiu was suddenly overjoyed.

The atmosphere that had been a little stiff just now also disappeared with this laughter.

Yan Changkong laughed and said loudly: "Brother He, this is your fault." Thanks to the shopkeeper Qiu, he took the initiative to marry you the red note, and you still dare to hide it from the shopkeeper Qiu, in my opinion, you don't want to see the girl on the red note again. ”

He Yu's face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and he owed a slight debt to the young man, so he picked up the box and held it in the palm of his hand, pointed to a certain place on it and said: "Actually, it's very simple, this box itself is a sophisticated mechanism." If someone really uses the so-called key to open it, the moment the key is inserted into the keyhole, the mechanism in the box will be touched, and the contents will be destroyed. With that, he put the box in the middle, took out the key from before, and inserted it into the keyhole in full view of everyone.

In a moment, the sound of gears spinning could be heard inside the box, followed by a sharp clanging sound, as if many knives were colliding with each other. After a few breaths, all the sounds were gone. This was followed by a crisp 'pop' sound, and the lid of the box opened automatically, revealing the contents of the box.

Ni Pengfei could see it very clearly, the box was empty, only a small pile of silver-white pieces, and he didn't know where the previous Jin Ge voice came from.

He Yu pointed to the pile of fragments and explained, "This is a piece of silver that I put in before. ”

Yan Changkong's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "In this way, what those mysterious masters stole may not be the tiger talisman. Whoever the box falls into, most of the first instincts are to think of using a key to unlock the lock. In that case, the tiger talisman will be finished. Li Yuansheng has been in charge of the Tiger Wing Army for many years, and he has always been good at strategy and scheming, and it is impossible to put such an important thing in such a box. Otherwise, it is not house arrest, but a major crime of killing the head. ”

"What Brother Yan said is exactly!" He Yu nodded and took out a letter from his arms, "This is a letter written by Li Yuansheng to his senior brother Gongsun Wuji a few years ago, but it has never been sent. By chance, he was stolen out by one of his concubines as a military secret. After speaking, he handed the letter over, "Please take a look at it." ”
