Chapter 10: The Treasure Hunt in the Royal Mansion (Part II)
At night, Luo Tianchu searched the small building opposite, because they searched very carefully and quietly, so the progress was not fast, and they all returned to the wing room boringly before dawn. As soon as Zhao Hengshan sat down, he complained: "It's not a way to look for it like this, it's laborious and time-consuming." Luo Tianchu said: "A little patient, it's just the beginning now." Zhu Yushi said: "There is only the hall left in the front yard that has not been checked, one group will go there tonight, and the other group can go to check the second courtyard." Luo Tianchu said: "The people who live there are all subordinates, and the Liao Shengzong will never dig a secret passage in the subordinate room, you can not look for it, but the big garden of the third courtyard can be searched." Ah, it's time for me to go to the martial arts hall, I don't dare to be too late today. Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "Hard work, little brother go and get some sleep." Luo Tianchu scolded: "Sleep with you." He pushed the door and left.
This time he did not teach sword moves, because Luo Tianchu found that Ye Luqi was still very unfamiliar with the feeling of swords, so he said that "sword control" is a basic skill, if you can't even master the strength of the sword, no matter how powerful the swordsmanship is, you can't use it freely. Ye Luqi is very attentive in learning martial arts, and all the homework assigned by Luo Tianchu is completed carefully and meticulously.
In the next three days, Luo Tianchu taught martial arts during the day and searched for treasures in groups at night. Every inch of the garden has been searched, ponds, rockeries, huts, swings, flowers, not a single one. Once Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi were looking for them in the pond, and two people happened to pass by, standing by the pond and chatting for a while, and the two of them stayed in the water for a quarter of an hour and didn't go out. There were also a few times when they were almost found in the flowers, but fortunately, they reacted quickly and dodged them all.
Xiwutang was also secretly checked by Luo Tianchu when he taught martial arts, the storage room where the weapons were stored and the two small buildings opposite were the next targets of Zhao Hengshan and Liu Shaoqing, while Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi directly started the fifth courtyard, the main house of the fifth courtyard lived in Yelu Ying, and there were eight independent courtyards on the east and west sides, three of which lived in his concubines, and the old mother and maid who served lived in the outhouse, and the lights were not turned off at night, making the search more difficult. This level of the house is most likely to hide treasure, and they are more serious about it, and the progress is slower, and they can only search one courtyard a night.
Luo Tianchu was busy day and night, meditating for only half an hour for seven consecutive days, and now he was quite tired, after teaching martial arts this night, he only felt that his head was groggy, although he couldn't see his face with a mask, but his eyes showed tiredness. Yeluqi said: "Didn't you rest last night, why were you listless?" Luo Tianchu reluctantly smiled: "I didn't adapt to the water and soil in the north for the first time, just adapt to it for a while." Yeluqi said: "It's hard for you, I'll treat you to a drink." Luo Tianchu was a thief and refused: "Don't dare to bother the county lord, it's okay to sleep." Ye Luqi said lightly: "You still don't want to go to the county lord to invite guests, don't you know how to lift?" Luo Tianchu had no choice but to say: "Don't dare to do it below, everything is up to Your Highness." Yeluqi said: "I'll go back to change clothes, and you will also go back to change your clothes, you have been wearing this outfit for several days, and it smells." ”
Luo Tianchu returned to the wing, and Zhu Yushi said, "You're finally back, waiting for you to have dinner together." Luo Tianchu said: "You guys eat, I want to go out with the county lord." Zhu Yushi said: "What are you going to do?" Luo Tianchu said: "Invite me to dinner." Zhu Yushi paused and said, "The county lord seems to be interested in you, and Hall Master Zhao and I found that her eyes have been a little strange in the past two days." Luo Tianchu said: "Don't talk nonsense, I taught her martial arts, and it is reasonable to invite me to a meal." Zhu Yushi shook his head and said: "You are smarter than me, you won't be unaware, and you can't be blamed for this, who called you so charming, and you are liked with a human skin mask." Zhao Hengshan said: "If the Sprinkle family has a few more words, you and the county lord will definitely not have results, so don't give her hope at all, it's good for her." Luo Tianchu said angrily: "Is my self-sustaining ability so bad in your eyes? Zhu Yushi said: "When I went to Caoyang Village with Master Jia, although I only had Yuelian in my heart, I still couldn't hold it when I was with the slave, and you also know how much trouble it caused later, and sometimes the affairs of men and women are uncontrollable." Luo Tianchu had already changed into a set of Jurchen clothes, put on a hat to cover the Song-style hairstyle, turned around and said, "Okay, I know." ”
He got out of the small building and waited in front of the house. After a while, Yeluqi came to her, and she wore a Shu embroidered robe with an orange background and countless small white flowers, and a sapphire blue belt with amber at her waist. There is a gold ivory hairpin in the bun, a pearl chain is worn on the top of the head, which hangs down to the forehead, and the face is slightly dressed, which looks even more bright and moving, although the face is still cold, but there is a gentle color in the beautiful eyes that look at Luo Tianchu. Luo Tianchu moved in his heart, secretly thinking "so beautiful," and then his heart tightened, remembering Zhu Yushi's warning, and leaving his distracting thoughts behind. Ye Luqi said: "Don't you want to open the door for the county lord?" Luo Tianchu hurriedly took off the latch, opened the door of the mansion, and asked Ye Luqi to go first.
The two walked out of the mansion one after the other, turned into the long street, and met Yeluzhi riding back, he dismounted and saluted: "Your Highness." Jerry said "um" and walked past him. Ye Luzhi said again: "It's getting late, where is Your Highness going?" Ye Luqi said: "Do you still need to report to you about the whereabouts of this county lord?" Ye Luzhi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, but with the experience of the horse thief last time, his subordinates think that it is appropriate for the county lord to go out with a few more nurses." Ye Lu Qi glanced at Luo Tianchu and said: "Isn't it much better than those guardians with me?" Ye Lu Zhi smiled: "That's right, by the way, I have found my brother's burial place in Xia, and I have ordered the stonemasons in the city to repair the tombstone, thanks to Lin Daxia's prompt." Luo Tianchu said: "Steward Yelu is polite. Yeluzhi said: "If the prince asks where the county lord is, how should his subordinates answer." Yeluqi said angrily: "I don't ride a horse, I must be in the city, what is there to worry about." With that, he left. Yeluzhi looked at their departing backs, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Before it was dark and the long street was deserted, the two walked side by side on the riverbank. Business in the city is sluggish, and there are only a few hotels in business, but the business of the leading 'Evergreen Square' is still good, and the restaurants are 80% full, mostly large local households, and they are quite well-dressed. The shopkeeper recognized Yeluqi at a glance and quickly notified the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged fat man, with a smirk on his face that was always kind and wealthy, and he twisted his fat body and stepped forward, saluting in Jurchen words: "The county lord is here, and the small shop is shining." Yeluqi said lightly: "Lead the way to the private room on the first floor." The fat shopkeeper looked embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "There is only one private room on the first floor, which has been booked by Prince Pei, in fact, the private room on the second floor is also excellent, facing the "Holy Maiden River", quiet and elegant, the county lord will not be disappointed." ”
Ye Luqi's face sank, his eyes stayed on his face, and said, "Which Pei Dagongzi?" The fat shopkeeper thought to himself, didn't you ask knowingly? He still replied respectfully: "It is Pei Dagongzi of "Luma Village" in Longgu Lane, Xicheng. Your Highness must have recognized it. Yeluqi snorted coldly and said: "The county lord only knows that there is a person named Pei Zifu in Luma Village, and he doesn't know any 'son'. The fat shopkeeper forced a smile and said, "It's him." Yeluqi said coldly: "You can't afford to offend Pei Zifu, so you can offend the county lord?" The fat shopkeeper broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "The villain doesn't dare to offend the county lord even if he eats the leopard's gall, but Pei Gongzi is scheduled first, the small one is a trader, pay attention to integrity, and the county lord has a large number of people, so don't embarrass the villain." Luo Tianchu looked at him pitifully, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, in fact, the second floor is also ......" Ye Luqi waved his hand to signal him to silence, stared at the fat shopkeeper and said: "This time I really embarrassed you, the private room on the first floor is the main county is decided, and if there is half a nonsense, you don't have to open this small shop." The fat shopkeeper wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, secretly calling him unlucky, thinking that the God of Wealth had become a plague god. Then he said: "The county lord is angry, and the villain leads the way." (To be continued.) )
