This was the first time Xiang Ci had heard such talk about the Escort Agency. In her understanding, the Escort Agency did protect the other party's goods and people with their lives.

But he didn't expect that the things that the escort agency secured were not necessarily all genuine, and there were also fakes.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that if you steal other people's things and want to transport them from east to west, you will use a blind method or a trick to send the things to the designated place.

This requires someone to take action, and the escort agency is their best way.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiang Xinbai jumped down three steps in one step: "Bring it here."

He squatted in front of the copper box with a smile on his face and patted his chest: "Let me take a breath."

Xiang Ci wanted to get out of the way and unlock the door, but seeing how serious her third brother was, she kept silent.

When Xiang Ling and others saw Xiang Xinbai bringing his tools, they all put down what they were doing and ran here to watch the fun.

After Xiang Xinbai caught his breath, he smiled and took out the tool, which was a small leather bag the size of a palm.

There are a dozen small wire-like things in different shapes in the bag. I think these are the tools for unlocking.

Xiang Xinbai looked at the keyhole, picked a tool and inserted it, put his ear close to listen, and whispered: "Don't make any sound."

Xiang Ci subconsciously held his breath, not daring to disturb the third brother who opened the lock.

Xiang Xinbai closed his eyes and listened to the movements of his hands. After twisting it back and forth a few times, he heard a click and the lock opened.

Xiang Ci, who almost suffocated to death, heard the voice and reacted. He laughed at himself for being stupid and asked you not to speak, but he didn't ask you not to breathe.

"It's open, it's open."

"Scared me."

"Third brother is so awesome!"

Xiang Xinbai, who was praised, took off the fish-shaped lock and handed it to Xiang Ling: "Get out of the way, I want to open the box."

Xiang Ci and others took a step back, and then Xiang Xinbai opened the box.

As soon as the box was opened, there was a gasp in the tunnel.

Xiang Ci's pupils widened and he even forgot to breathe: "Wow!"

The box was actually full of gold and silver jewelry, and it was still shining brightly.

There were two books on the top. Xiang Xinbai carefully picked up the books and said regretfully: "They are stuck together. I don't know what they were used for."

He handed these two books to Ye Kai, pulled aside the layer of gold and silver jewelry on them, and took out a night pearl from the box: "Light Pearl!"

The night pearl was as big as a goose egg. Once it was taken out of the box, the bright light illuminated the tunnel as bright as day.

The light that came out of the box before was the light of the night pearl.

Xiang Xinbai handed the luminous pearl to Xiang Ci: "Come and see, does it light up? The South China Sea luminous pearl!"

Xiang Ci held the luminous pearl in his hands and opened his mouth so wide that he almost swallowed the luminous pearl.

Ye Kai said: "What a big night pearl!"

Xiang Ci could only nod in shock. It was also the first time for her to see the Night Pearl. She didn't expect to see such a big Night Pearl at first sight.

When I usually watch those costume dramas, the luminous pearls in them are the size of ping pong balls. I didn’t expect that there are such big luminous pearls.

Cui and others were also stunned, but no one took action to grab the gold and silver jewelry in the box.

Xiang Xinbai pulled out another luminous pearl from the box. This one was half smaller than the one just now. He put it into Xiang Ling's hand: "Take a look."

Xiang Ling looked at the luminous pearl as big as an egg in his palm, his eyes were shining, and he said: "It's very bright. There is no need for torches in the tunnel now, it is very hot, and this luminous pearl will make it very bright."

Xiang Ci nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, absolutely right."

There were torches burning in the tunnel, so they were a little far away to avoid burning their hair and clothes.

As a result, there are really fewer places for them to illuminate.

"There's another one." Xiang Xinbai pulled the gold and silver jewelry onto the box, and fished for the shining area with both hands. "The luminous pearl in this box definitely belongs to the imperial palace."

Luminous pearls are marketable but priceless, and you can't buy them even if you have money.

Luminous pearls as big as goose eggs are rare among the people except Yu Gong.

Xiang Xinbai took out the third night pearl and gave it to Cui: "There is another one."

There was light in the box, which meant there was still more. Xiang Xinbai pulled out another luminous pearl and gave it to Yan.

Yan looked at Ye Mingzhu and smiled from ear to ear. She leaned in front of Bai Chuntao and showed her: "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Bai Chuntao smiled, "Bright."

Xiang Xinbai pulled out another luminous pearl and handed it to Bai Chuntao: "Take it. It's really gone now."

The light from the five luminous pearls is really like a small sun, illuminating the tunnel so that you can clearly see the hair on people's faces.

Xiang Ci held a luminous pearl the size of an oval and approached the box: "What else is inside?"

"Gold bricks and silver bricks." Xiang Xinbai pulled the treasure necklaces, golden jade bracelets, emeralds, emeralds, mutton-fat jade, and onto the box.

The bottom of the box was paved with gold and silver bricks, which were so bright that they were dazzling.

Xiang Ci was dazzled by the sight, but he was not moved at all by these gold and silver jewelry, and he couldn't explain why.

She looked at Ye Kai. Ye Kai's face was also indifferent. He didn't have the kind of lustful eyes that would stare at gold, silver and jewelry when he saw them.

She looked at Mrs. Cui and her two aunts again. There was joy in gold, silver and jewelry in their eyes, but there was no greed.

Women like gold and silver jewelry. This is natural. Just because they look at gold and silver jewelry cannot mean they are greedy.

Xiang Ling's eyes were always looking at the luminous pearl in her hand, and she didn't even look at the gold and silver jewelry. She really had no interest at all.

On the other hand, Erya and the others, when they looked at the gold and silver jewelry, their eyes were shining and their mouths were wide open, as if they had never seen the world.

But there was no greed in their eyes, only happiness.

They may not have thought of anything else, but they must know that these gold and silver jewelry can make them full, so they will be very happy.

Xiang Xinbai pulled the gold and silver bricks in displeasure: "It's not food, what's there to be happy about? Hey, here is a sheepskin scroll."

He was not very fond of gold and silver jewelry, but he was very curious about the parchment.

Xiang Ci leaned over and said in surprise: "Xiao Zhuan!"

Xiang Xinbai shook the parchment: "Is this small seal script? Sure enough, people who like calligraphy understand this, can you understand it?"

"I understand." Xiang Ci handed the Night Pearl to Xiang Xinbai, took the parchment, read the words on it and said, "This is a letter left by a conquered monarch eight hundred years ago."

"Eight hundred years ago, his country was also called the Chu Kingdom. He was the last king of the Chu Kingdom. He was sent to the Summer Palace by the Zhenguo Duke and forced into the palace."

"Knowing that he was going to die, he wrote this letter and put it in this box."

"This box contains his favorite things. He said that even if he dies, he doesn't want to leave these things to the traitors who seek to usurp the throne."

"He said that if this box is obtained by a destined person, then it will be given to the destined person."

Xiang Ci explained the above meaning to everyone: "The king of Chu said that he would burn down the summer palace in the end, and would never let rebellious officials and traitors insult his body."

Ye Kai's voice was low: "Although he has saved his face, what about his family in the palace?"

Xiang Ci's eyes were red and his voice was a little hoarse: "This subjugated monarch is eight years old."
