Chapter 38: The Imperial City Zhen Guowei -38

What's in the box? After listening to Lu Yunhe's question, Wu Nai was also a little curious in his heart, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Huaide looked at the box and smiled bitterly, and returned: "Prime Minister, you are embarrassed by the old slave." I only know that this box contains the secret treasure left by Gao Zu, as for what it is, the old slave really doesn't know. ”

Lu Yunhe smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and said, "Father-in-law Huaide never thought of opening it and taking a look?"

After hearing this, Huaide shook his head and returned: "The old slave never dared to think about crossing the line." As a slave, if you don't follow the rules in your duty and dare to learn from the traitors who used power in the previous dynasty, you will only eat the consequences in the future. ”

Lu Yunhe laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha! Father-in-law Huaide, you are indeed an understanding person." However, if you are a dishonest person, the old man will not be so close to you, nor will he regard you as a friend, let alone rest assured that you will step into the secret pavilion built by the ancestors. ”

Huaide also smiled after hearing this, and returned: "Thank you Prime Minister for your love, the old slave really doesn't dare to be." ”

Lu Yunhe suppressed his smile and looked at the tiger striped armor with deep meaning. Wu Nai knew that Lu Yunhe was going to say something to beat himself again.

Lu Yunhe stroked his beard and said, "Father-in-law Huaide, even Your Majesty doesn't know the secret in this box. However, the old man is also a person who has stepped into the coffin, and this secret naturally cannot enter the coffin. ”

Huaide was a little confused about what Lu Yunhe meant, and hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, what do you mean?"

Lu Yunhe continued: "The secret here, I am going to find a suitable time to tell you again. ”

Huaide hurriedly asked: "Why don't you tell Your Majesty? Moreover, how dare an old slave be a slave who doesn't even know the secrets of the Son of Heaven." ”

Lu Yunhe returned leisurely: "Don't worry, father-in-law, listen to me slowly." ”

Huaide said apologetically: "It's rude, the old slave will listen to you patiently now." After saying that, Wilder lowered his head and listened carefully.

Lu Yunhe continued: "We are also a saint today, but you also know that he is too young. Not to mention his impatience, he is also very impulsive, and the secret here, now that he knows it, it will only hurt him. ”

Wilder nodded.

Wu Yongzhong also agreed, thinking: You haven't said that he wants to save face! It's because he is so impulsive that he has to compare himself with other envoys, which has caused me to fall into such a situation. Wrapping me in this thick iron sheet, and being intimidated by your old fox at every turn, it's so sinful!

Lu Yunhe said again: "This golden box was entrusted to me by Gaozu before his death, and the secret in it is related to the future of my Daxuan." The box opens early, and there will be a catastrophe in the country. Before the time is ripe, you must not let Your Majesty know. So, I can only entrust it to someone I trust. ”

After hearing this, Wilder asked cautiously, "Is it possible that this time will have to wait for a long time?"

Lu Yunhe nodded.

Huaide asked again: "But the old slave is also in his sixties, if the old slave himself runs out of oil and the lamp runs out, and the time has not yet come, can't this secret be told to Your Majesty?"

Lu Yunhe returned: "Father-in-law Huaide, don't worry, I currently have a candidate, and compared with us, he will live much longer." However, the old man can't tell if he is a trustworthy person, so it is better to choose his father-in-law to take over the secret here. After the old man finished inspecting him, he would naturally tell his father-in-law that he would pass on the secret to him in the future. ”

Huaide made a bow and returned: "The old slave should keep it in mind. ”

Wu patiently teased secretly: This old fox's staff member has a fancy to it? That must be a little fox. Come on, it's definitely not a good thing, don't meet him again, one fox is enough, and two more won't you cripple us?

Lu Yunhe cleared his throat, seemed to deliberately amplify the volume, and said: "Before this, father-in-law must not touch this Qiankun gold box! There is a wooden pad under this gold box, which is a mechanism, as long as the weight on the mechanism deviates, no matter whether it decreases or increases, it will be touched. Once touched, the gate will automatically close here, and the surrounding area will be flooded, there is no escape, father-in-law, please remember!"

Huaide replied solemnly: "Prime Minister, please rest assured, the old slave will never tamper with this thing." ”

After listening to this, Wu Nai thought to himself: This old fox really reminded me that there is a mechanism here? So he specifically told me not to touch that thing? No, he is afraid that he has not finished speaking!

Sure enough, Lu Yunhe continued: "Father-in-law, you have to remember that this box can't be opened by ordinary means. The Qiankun box is specially made by Gaozu, which is difficult to enter by water and fire, and must be opened with a special key. So don't panic too much if you lose it, but be sure to find a way to find it. Even if we turn our Daxuan upside down, we must take it back! If there is a real case, let others know the secret in it. ”

Lu Yunhe's eyes were full of murderous aura at this time, his gaze went straight into Wu Nai's eyes, and then he said with a horizontal eyebrow: "No matter who he is! Where he is! No matter who he is! No matter how old or young he is! I'm not afraid that he has thousands! One, one, no, stay!"

Lu Yunhe's low groan, which seemed to come out of hell, made Wu Nai hear that his back was cold, and his hairs stood on end, Wu Nai swallowed his saliva, and thought in his heart: Sure enough...... Lu Yunhe not simply reminded himself to be careful, but also reminded himself that even if he knew the secret pavilion, as long as he could keep it strictly secret and pretend not to know anything, then he would still spare himself. But if you dare to touch something that you shouldn't touch, look at the way he looks like he wants to eat people, I don't dare to imagine what will happen to me.

Wu Nai was very sure that from this moment on, he would never want to know what secrets would be in that broken box in his life.

Huaide also felt a little furious when he heard this, and he wiped his cold sweat and returned: "Old slave remember...... Old slave remember!"

Lu Yunhe regained his kindness, he patted Huaide on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, father-in-law, let's talk about this today." If I'm not mistaken, the guards have already checked the places outside the Shangwu Palace, right?"

Huaide nodded and returned: "Yes, and there is no other loss except for the envoy being stunned." ”

"Okay, then let's go back and report to the emperor. ”

After that, Lu Yunhe walked straight to the tunnel, Huaide wanted to extinguish the lamp, but Lu Yunhe said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, they will be extinguished by themselves in a while, the old man has been a little bad with his legs and feet recently, can you come over and help him?"

Huaide hurriedly said yes when he heard this, and immediately followed, helping Lu Yunhe to walk slowly upward.

Although he saw that the two of them had left, Wu Nai didn't dare to move, Bai Yu didn't hear Wu Nai move, and he didn't dare to move. In this way, the two waited for a while, until they heard the rumbling sound of the stone door closing above, Wu Nai breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.

"I was almost scared to death by this old fox!" Wu Nai grumbled as he took off his armor.

Bai Yu also began to take off his armor, which was much easier to take off than to wear.

Bai Yu asked while removing his armor: "When my brother said 'old fox', did he mean the prime minister?"

"Who else is there but him!, this old fox, just scared me three or four times!" Wu Nai quickly took off his armor and began to put the armor together again.

Bai Yu muttered to himself with a puzzled expression: "Did he find us just now?"

"Of course!" Wu Nai returned.

Bai Yu couldn't figure it out, and asked again: "Then why didn't he demolish us?"

Wu Nai returned to the armor as he swung it back: "Xiaobai, don't ask, quickly put the armor back in its place." ”

Bai Yu still asked again uneasily: "Brother, it's so strange that since the Prime Minister found us, he didn't arrest us." What's even stranger is why pretend not to know we're here?"

Wu Nai set up his side, walked over to help Bai Yu set up his armor, and said: "He actually told me at the beginning that no matter what happens, he will protect us, so it's not strange." ”

Bai Yu scratched his head: "I can feel that the Prime Minister is protecting us, but I don't know why, why didn't you take us out?"

Wu Nai smiled: "Xiaobai, let's break into the palace at night." Even if he takes us out, it's not a capital crime, it's a confiscation, do you want that?"

Bai Yu suddenly realized: "Oh...... I see, the Prime Minister is really well-intentioned. ”

Wu Nai continued: "Moreover, if he takes us out, he will not be guilty of connivance, but also of covering up." ”

Bai Yu replied with a righteous face, "It makes sense, we can't take revenge." ”

Wu Nai almost didn't laugh after hearing this, he sighed: "Alas, Xiaobai, don't keep thinking about people's benefits." ”

Bai Yu didn't seem to understand.

Wu Nai patted him on the shoulder: "Xiaobai, the prime minister just said so many things, do you know what it means?"

Bai Yu returned: "I know...... The secret here cannot be taken out. ”

Wu Nai smiled, although Xiaobai was simple, but he was not stupid, he returned satisfied: "Very good, we went out, we forgot, let's not make trouble for ourselves." ”

Bai Yu nodded after listening.

The two were about to leave, but Wu Nai stopped again.

Bai Yu asked with a puzzled expression, "What's the matter, brother?"

Wu Nai looked uncomfortable and said, "Xiaobai...... Do you know what it means to be cheap?"

"Huh?" Bai Yu looked at Wu Nai inexplicably.

Wu Nai said again: "Do you know what it means to not die if you don't die?"

Bai Yu hurriedly asked, "Brother, what do you want to say?"

Wu Nai replied: "Xiaobai, why don't we take a look at the mechanism of this golden box, let's see what the mystery is about it!"
