Chapter 10: The Treasure Hunt in the Palace, Part I

Ye Luqi rolled his eyes and said: "Since you can see the reason, there must be a way to solve it, what do you think of my character?" Luo Tianchu complimented: "Your Highness is kind-hearted, and his virtue is good." Yeluqi sneered: "I almost wear cocoons in my ears when I hear these compliments, tell me the truth." Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the county lord is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he has a good heart, but he is a little more severe, and if he doesn't understand His Highness, he thinks it's not close to people." Yeluqi said with a smile: "You know the lord of this county, go on." Luo Tianchu said: "Actually, His Highness has been hiding himself, deliberately making an unkind Ling Ran posture, I don't know what to say." ”

Yeluqi's face changed slightly, and her tone was not good: "Why should I pretend to be unkind." Luo Tianchu confessed: "Don't blame the county lord for making a mistake." Yeluqi said coldly: "It's late, you have to make your words clear, otherwise you will cut off your tongue." Luo Tianchu sighed: "Although the prince is a Khitan royal family, in the final analysis, he is a minister of the dead country, although the Jin country retains your aristocratic status, but the name of your mansion is 'Liuwangfu', which is the same as 'exile', and the county lord's honorific name is 'Yicheng', and it is the same as 'Lost City', it can be seen that the Jin Kingdom implicitly insults you, I believe that the prince and His Royal Highness will not be unaware, so the county lord is self-reliant, in order to retain the last trace of dignity of the Khitan Dynasty." The prince only has a daughter of His Royal Highness, and if there is no man in the family, there will be no pillars, and it is inevitable to be bullied, so His Royal Highness rides a man's horse and practices men's martial arts, in order not to let outsiders look down on you. There is no cover in the mouth, and if what is said is wrong, I hope that the county lord will not blame it. ”

Yeluqi was shocked and looked at him in surprise, but he didn't expect him to understand his suffering, sighed secretly, and said, "That's it, I will spare you this time for the sake of your innocence." That's the end of it. Luo Tianchu hurriedly said: "I understand." Ye Luqi said: "Since you recognize the character of this county lord, then help me use the true qi in my body, I don't want to wait another three years." Luo Tianchu thought for a while and said, "That's fine, so the county lord can practice the sword and get twice the result with half the effort." ”

In this way, he spent an afternoon to guide Yeluqi to put the true qi out of the qi sea cave, and when the completion was done, it was already dark, and Yeluqi was very excited at the beginning of the use of true qi, and the power of his fists, feet and weapons was increased several times, and he jumped two feet high, and he was very excited. Luo Tianchu said: "Your Highness's true qi is just beginning, it is not suitable to use it frequently, you must wait for the qi pulse to stabilize." Yeluqi said: "Then when can I use internal force again." Luo Tianchu said: "It should be okay tomorrow." Yeluqi said: "The county lord is waiting for you here tomorrow, and you teach me to learn swords." Luo Tianchu secretly blamed himself for talking too much, if he said how good it would be in three days, he could only agree now.

When he left Xiwutang, he was already holding the lamp, Luo Tianchu returned to the front yard along the same road, hurriedly went up to the small building, saw that the light in his wing room was on, and pushed the door in, and saw Zhu Yushi and the other four people eating tea around the table, Luo Tianchu said: "What time is this, don't you eat?" Zhu Yushi smiled: "We have already eaten, the meals have been removed, and we are eating tea to wash our intestines." Luo Tianchu said angrily: "I have a dry mouth and hunger from noon to now, and you don't leave me any leftovers." Zhu Yushi smiled evilly: "You better talk about you and the county lord first." Luo Tianchu said curiously: "What will happen to me and her?" Zhu Yushi said leisurely: "Why didn't she look for Liu Zhuang and Lao Zhao Xuewu, but picked you up? After returning to Chang'an, I will definitely find the eldest lady to chat." Luo Tianchu said: "Nonsense, huh? It turns out that you are spying on me." Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "I was worried about you, so I quietly climbed up to the roof of the martial arts hall and lifted the tiles to see the situation inside." When I saw that you were safe and sound, I came back first. Zhao Hengshan suddenly said: "The castle lord, the county lord is not bad, and his appearance and family background are also worthy of you, do you think about it?" Zhu Yushi said: "Don't forget that Xiao Luo and our eldest lady are engaged, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum." Zhao Hengshan said: "Yes, the Sprinkle family forgot about this stubble." Luo Tianchu said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's get down to business, Brother Li Xiao." ”

Li Xiaoqing cleared his voice and said: "My subordinates took the map out to find the way the next morning, this map was drawn hundreds of years ago, and the houses and streets marked on the map have changed, but the general pattern is the same, it is not difficult to identify. After my repeated confirmation, the mansion where the treasure is hidden is this Liuwang Mansion. Luo Tianchu said in surprise: "You said that the treasure is hidden here?" Li Xiao said: "Yes, I heard that this mansion was once the palace of Liao Shengzong in the imperial city, and he lived here whenever he went out of the palace to relax. The emperor's palace usually has a secret passage to facilitate evacuation, for example, the secret passage of the Huizong official family leads directly to Master Li's bedroom, so I guess that the treasure should be hidden in the secret passage, not only safe, but also can be transported away at any time. Luo Tian pondered: "It makes sense. ”

Liu Shaoqing said: "The secret path must be hidden, how to find it when the palace is so big? Yelu Ying is also a Khitan royal family, maybe he also knows about the treasure, he has lived here for so long, maybe he has found it." Li Xiaodao: "Not necessarily, this mansion was given to Yeluhuan by the Jin Kingdom, and they shouldn't know about the treasure." Zhao Hengshan said: "There is a way for the Sprinkle family to immediately come to light." Luo Tianchu said: "Do you want to forcibly interrogate Yelu's father and daughter?" Zhao Hengshan said: "As long as the castle lord nods, the rest of the matter will be handed over to the Sprinkle family." Liu Shaoqing said: "This is an effective method." Zhao Hengshan glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's rare that the owner of Liu Zhuang and the Sprinkle family have the same opinion." Liu Shaoqing smiled faintly, and the icy relationship between the two was finally eased.

Luo Tianchu thought for a while and said: "Yelu's father and daughter are not wicked people, they treat us with great courtesy, and it is already offensive to take other people's property without permission, if they are tortured again, they are no different from bandits and robbers." Zhao Hengshan said: "Do big things without being informal, don't forget the purpose of our trip, if you want to be a righteous gentleman, go back to Chang'an." Luo Tianchu said: "Of course I know what we are going to do, if he doesn't know about the treasure after the torture of Yelu wins, how should we proceed? Do you want to kill their whole family? I think it's not too late to find it by myself if I can't find it anymore." Zhao Hengshan said: "But when will such a big mansion be found?" Luo Tianchu said: "I have made up my mind, Brother Zhao doesn't need to persuade me." Let's start looking for it from this room, and act every night, if Brother Zhao doesn't want to go, he can't go. Zhao Hengshan snorted and said, "The Sprinkle family didn't say no. Luo Tianchu said: "Okay, when we act, I will be in a group with Xiao Zhu, Lord Liu and Brother Zhao will be in a group, and Brother Li Xiao will be responsible for controlling the wind." Don't let go of every brick and tile, every grass and tree in the house, and every inch of land in every room must be carefully searched, I don't believe that I can't find that secret passage. ”

That night, they searched the small building where they were located, and did not let go of the floor, cabinets, walls, and corners of each wing room, until dawn, when Luo Tianchu returned to the wing room and meditated for half an hour before rushing to the Xiwu Hall. When she arrived, she was already waiting, and said, "You're late." Luo Tianchu smiled and said, "Apprentices and other masters should also be." Yeluqi said: "You mean you want to take me as an apprentice? If you really have this intention, the county lord can consider it." Luo Tianchu said: "It's just a joke below, the county lord doesn't have to take it seriously, how can he be the county lord's master." Yeluqi said in a suffrage: "In the future, I will speak seriously to the lord of this county, and I am not allowed to laugh and laugh nonsense." Luo Tianchu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes." Yeluqi said angrily: "Go and get the sword." ”

Luo Tianchu spent a morning teaching her the first style of the "Wandering Dragon Qingfeng Sword", the first style has sixteen variations, Yeluqi practiced repeatedly, and kept it in mind. At noon, someone brought food, and the two sat on the floor and had lunch. In the afternoon, Luo Tianchu asked her to use the first move in actual combat, regarded herself as an opponent, let Ye Luqi attack with different changes, and then shuffled the order, let her adapt to the situation, and integrate all the changes, and finally let her add internal force to experience the power of swordsmanship.

At the beginning, Ye Luqi was too eager to take out the sword, although the move was fierce but had no stamina, Luo Tianchu said that if a sword could not hurt the enemy, it would be easy to be restrained and lose the first move, and then taught her how to distribute the true qi, and unconsciously it was night. Before parting, Yeluqi said: "You go first, I want to stay and practice." Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "If you feel that your breath is not smooth, stop immediately, don't force it."
