The heavy door was slowly pushed open, and there was an uncomfortable smell of mud mixed with damp in the dark secret room.
"Subordinates go first!"
Yue Rong couldn't help but walk quickly to the front of Xie Yan.
He ignored the shock in Yue Ming's eyes, and walked ahead bravely.
The candles on both sides of the secret passage were lit, dozens of exquisite Changxin palace lanterns were lit up one after another, and the originally dark secret room was instantly bright as day.
Seeing these palace lanterns, Yue Rong's eyes lit up in a flash.
"Master! This may really be the place we are looking for!"
The Changxin Palace Lantern can only be used in the palace, and being able to have it in this secret room is enough to prove that it is quite close to what they are looking for.
These palace lanterns were burning silently, and everything seemed to be going well.
However, just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Xie Yan's expression changed.
He pulled Yue Rong past him, and said in a deep voice, "There is poison in the lamp, get out of here immediately!"
These hidden guards who followed Xie Yan were all strictly prohibited.
As soon as Xie Yan finished speaking, a dozen people rushed out of the secret room as quickly as possible.
Yue Rong, who was walking in the front, was already pale.
"Master, I'm fine..." Yue Rong held his chest and held his breath.
Seeing his appearance, Xie Yan's face was gloomy, and he stared at the entrance of the dark secret room.
Yue Ming was worried about Yue Rong, but he was even more worried about this secret room.
He looked distressed: "If the clue we finally found, if it ends here..."
"It won't stop here." Xie Yan raised his hand and walked firmly towards the entrance.
"Master, you can't put yourself in danger!" Yue Ming hurriedly followed.
Xie Yan's thin lips curled into a sneer: "This is a special method to prevent tomb thieves. Mix silver wreaths in the lamp oil. Once the fuse is lit, the silver wreaths in the lamp oil can kill the tomb robbers without anyone noticing. The thieves were all poisoned to death."
"It's very easy to break this trap, just don't light these palace lanterns." Xie Yan lit the torch and said calmly, "Cover your mouth and nose, and come in with me."
"This is what I taught you at the beginning, how come no one remembers?"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Yue Ming and the others again.
His tone was as cold as before, but Yue Ming and the others seemed to have suffered a major blow, shrinking their necks like quails, and followed Xie Yan into the secret room.
This secret passage was extremely long, and it took a quarter of an hour before they reached the secret room they were looking for.
"This……"
Yue Ming wiped his eyes and looked at the scene before him in disbelief.
Xie Yan raised his head and stared at all of this. Under the reflection of the candlelight, his handsome face showed a rare gentle expression: "This is what uncle said about the second hand."
What was placed in front of them at this time was a wall made of yellow and clear gold on all sides, and in the middle, dazzling gemstones were piled together randomly. The priceless gemstone seemed to be just a worthless stone. .
"With such a large amount of money, we don't need to be in the same financial situation as before when we recruit soldiers and horses!" Yue Ming clenched his fists happily and said excitedly, "We don't have to rely on others anymore..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Yan's Linglie eyes swept over.
Yue Ming fell silent immediately, pretending that he didn't say anything just now, and moved to the corner with small steps.
Xie Yan glanced at him coldly, and warned: "Without the Pei family, I would have been a dead bone in the East Palace. For so many years, the so-called living under the fence is just a helpless move by the Pei family to deceive people."
"This subordinate made a slip of the tongue for a while." Yue Ming knelt heavily on the ground, "This subordinate understands the kindness of the Pei family better than anyone else! This subordinate just doesn't want to see His Highness again and wrong me again, and go... to cater to..."
The rest of the words came to his lips, but were forced back by Xie Yan's cold gaze.
Yue Ming swallowed, feeling that his life was at stake.
"Staying at Pei's house is the best choice." Xie Yan's voice was low, implying a warning, "Recruiting troops is certainly important, but can you form a well-trained army of [-] in just a few years? "
"Those refugees turned to us when they had nowhere to go. Before that, they were all farmers working in the fields. Do you expect to use such an army to fight against a well-trained army?"
Hearing this, Yue Ming froze in place.
His lips trembled, and he looked at Xie Yan cautiously: "Could it be that master, do you want... want to capture the dog emperor alive?"
"My great-aunt and I have already discussed it. You only need to follow orders." Xie Yan glanced at him with sharp eyes, "Yue Ming, you only need to complete the tasks I arranged. It's a big deal. Wait until the riots happen." On that day, as my most trusted confidant, you will know everything."
Yue Ming's eyes were red: "This subordinate understands!"
"The things here are left to you. You must empty this secret room within three days without leaving any traces."
"Yes!"
Yue Ming secretly clenched his fists, envisioning a great achievement in a few years, and his heart was surging.
But the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
I saw his master, who is wise and mighty, not eating fireworks, is carefully selecting among a pile of gems.
For a moment, Yue Ming felt dizzy.
"Master, you are..."
"Our plan was able to be completed so smoothly thanks to a series of actions by the county magistrate of Changning. She spent all her savings for several dams. We can't take advantage of her."
Xie Yan pretended to be calm, but Yue Ming had been with him for many years, and he had already seen some clues from his eyebrows.
However, the moment Xie Yan's sharp eyes swept over him, Yue Ming immediately lowered his head and said quickly, "You're right."
So, he stood aside and watched as Xie Yan picked out a few of the largest and most intensely colored gemstones.
For a moment, Yue Ming covered his heart.
For some reason, he always felt a little out of breath.
Time passed in a flash. After the flood subsided completely and the river became clear again, large ships docked on the shore, and countless people spontaneously surrounded the road.
The army led the way, and no one dared to make a mistake, but they all set their sights on the second carriage.
Gu Ning was sitting in the car, feeling the attention from both sides of the road, his brows and eyes were full of joy.
If Chunyu hadn't been watching her covetously, she would have lifted the curtain of the car to greet the people who sent her off.
"County Lord, please don't cause trouble again! The Eldest Princess has already told you to let the servants take good care of you! You must not let you show off again!"
"Yes yes yes!" Gu Ning waved his hand perfunctorily, and looked at those who were eagerly looking at her through the corner of the car curtain.
After doing this, she faintly felt that the shackles on her body had weakened a bit.
"It must be that the halo of your cannon fodder female supporting role is constantly weakening."
The system suddenly spoke, making Gu Ningfu feel his heart.
She snapped her fingers, ignored Chunyu's flustered expression, and continued to communicate with the system.
"So, it's one thing to get rid of the fate of early death, but another thing to be the halo of a cannon fodder female supporting role?"
After a moment of silence, the system cautiously replied: "Maybe it's what you guessed. After all, the hero and heroine are the darlings of heaven. If you fight against them, your own luck will continue to weaken during this period. For details, please refer to Xie Yan, his Qi." Luck is not weaker than that of the hero and heroine, but his final ending in the book is to die unexpectedly."
"And what you did in Jiangnan this time changed the views of the local people, and they respected you. It can be said that it took away an opportunity that originally belonged to the male lead. In this way, the aura of the cannon fodder female supporting role, Nature will continue to weaken."
After the system crackled, it made another conclusion: "As long as you snatch a few more opportunities from the hero and heroine, the halo of this cannon fodder female supporting role will disappear, and maybe you will become the leader of this world by then." Mistress!"
"Change your fate against the sky..." Gu Ning propped his chin, a pair of beautiful eyes showed a little smile, "It's not that I can't do it!"
In stark contrast to the bustling Jiangning is the lifeless Mingzhou.
The old man stood under the shade of the tree with his hands behind his back, looking at the sunshine that he hadn't seen for a long time, but his face covered with traces of time was gloomy.
The back of the shadow guard kneeling in front of him was already soaked in cold sweat, he whispered: "Old Yu, my subordinates and others have been squatting here for a long time, but they haven't found the person you are looking for."
"They left Mingzhou a long time ago, so of course you can't find them." Mr. Yu sneered, looking around the dilapidated state capital, "The time you've wasted along the way is already enough for them to take Mingzhou up and down. Search it again!"
Hearing this, the shadow guard wanted to argue but was speechless.
"Okay." Mr. Yu waved his hand, "I know that you are doing things for the emperor and you can't help yourself. I can't blame you this time."
"Is there any whereabouts in the search in the city?"
"Have!"
The shadow guard shuddered, and quickly replied: "This subordinate and others have discovered a secret room!"
Yu Lao's old eyes suddenly burst into light: "Where is it? Hurry up and take me there!"
"Yes! It's not far ahead! It's the mansion of the former Prophet Zhizhou." The shadow guard led the way, but he hesitated as he spoke, "It's just that there is nothing in that secret room..."
While speaking, the two had reached the entrance of the secret room.
"The palace lanterns on both sides are poisonous, Mr. Yu be careful."
"It's just the poison of the silver ring flower." Mr. Yu sneered, "But it seems that this secret room is related to the royal family."
The shadow guard didn't dare to say much, only dared to admire in his heart.
In order to enter this secret room, they almost killed two brothers.
Walking through the long secret passage, the secret room has been illuminated by the light of candles.
Mr. Yu stood still in this empty secret room, recalling the various appearances from the entrance to here, he sighed faintly.
"If we could come here earlier, maybe we can fill the treasury for the emperor."
"This..." The shadow guard froze in place, staring at the secret room stupidly, "Could this be the treasure that the emperor has been looking for for many years?"
Hearing this, Mr. Yu stroked his gray beard and said meaningfully: "These... are just a part of that treasure!"
"Subordinates go first!"
Yue Rong couldn't help but walk quickly to the front of Xie Yan.
He ignored the shock in Yue Ming's eyes, and walked ahead bravely.
The candles on both sides of the secret passage were lit, dozens of exquisite Changxin palace lanterns were lit up one after another, and the originally dark secret room was instantly bright as day.
