Mo Zikang remembered that when he came to Dajing last time, he wanted to find Yue Qing to find out his life experience. Although he returned without success, he learned from his elder brother that he was indeed picked up. He still has to thank Xue Mu Ji rescued him at the time and asked, "Is Xue Shizi okay? I still owe him four things, and I don't know if he has figured it out."

Lu Zhao's face was not as cold as before, "The prince was just joking, but Lord Kang took it seriously."

Xue Muji dragged his head on the side, very depressed, he was clearly not joking, it was just an accident and he forgot.

Mo Ziyu was really angry that his younger brother was worthless, he was tricked into making a promise, and everyone joked about it, but he still couldn't forget it.

Mo Ziyu pressed his hand on the ground as if at random, and said, "Okay, the mechanism has stopped. I want to study how to get through the last step. There seems to be a hole in the bottom of this gap."

Lu Zhao stepped back and stepped aside, Xue Muji tugged at the corner of his brother's clothes, but Lu Zhao ignored him.

I heard Mo Ziyu say while handling the agency, "General Yue is an important minister of our country after all. Since the rumors are true, after I return to China, I will immediately revise the State Book and Emperor Dajing. I hope that Lord Lu will not object to returning General Yue."

Lu Zhao asked, "Why is His Royal Highness anxious to return General Yue to the country? As I said, he voluntarily stayed in the palace. When his adoptive father met him, he was arguing with others at the gate of Yongdu City and almost fell off the city wall." , Now he is sometimes crazy and sometimes sober. If you are worried about General Yue leaking your Xiliang military plan, you don’t have to. Any Xiliang military aircraft."

"Forget it, let him go, he probably has a cold heart for the Xiliang royal family." Mo Ziyu sighed, after all, it was the Xiliang royal family who were sorry for Yue Qing.

The position of the protrusion on the ground seems to have changed a little, and there is a slight crack deep in the gap, and circles of light are seen from the crack.

There is a way ahead.

Mo Ziyu walked in the front holding the Ye Mingzhu, followed by Lu Zhao, and Mo Zikang was forced to wait in the gap by his brother.

Xue Muji insisted on following, although he didn't seem to have any effect.

The path is narrow and goes very deep. There are many traps along the way, all of which were resolved by Mo Ziyu one by one. There are traces of the traps on the ground, and a few skeletons and skulls, probably where the grave robbers died.

"Ah!" Xue Muji exclaimed as he walked, he just stepped on a hard object, there was a crackling sound, when he looked down, it was a skull.

Xue Muji said that he was afraid, so he insisted on closing his eyes, refused to open them even if he was beaten to death, insisted on pretending to be a blind person, hopping around in the dark, and even held Lu Zhao's hand and refused to let go.

There are many organs everywhere, and Lu Zhao can't leave him to die, so he can only let him drag him.

Mo Ziyu just smiled and was not curious about the relationship between the two.

Although the surroundings are not beautiful cherry blossoms, nor a quiet and elegant bamboo grove, but narrow stone roads with a chilly air, Xue Muji enjoys it very much, taking small steps leisurely, almost humming a ditty. , the first date with my brother holding hands openly.

The few people walked for a long time, and stopped to sleep three times. In Mo Ziyu's words, at least two days have passed outside.

But Xue Muji didn't feel tired at all, but he had suffered from Lu Zhao's blue eyes and white eyes countless times, because when he was sleeping, he insisted on sleeping next to his brother, and when he fell asleep, he turned over and hugged him.

Lu Zhao didn't raise his sword to slash at him, nor did he scold him harshly, but just threw him off and walked away silently.

Xue Muji wanted to reveal his real body several times, but firstly Mo Ziyu was an outsider, and secondly...

Even if he didn't say anything, he felt that his brother would figure it out sooner or later.

With my brother's current status, killing him as a commoner is like trampling an ant to death, but even if my brother was so angry with his scoundrel, he didn't do anything to him, and he still protected him when his life was at stake.He felt that his brother had feelings for him, and felt that his soul was the one he liked before.

Finally, several people came to a circular field at the end.

In the middle of the circular field is a coffin made of bronze.The coffin is engraved with retro patterns, which is the traditional style of Dajing.Xue Muji's eyes had been closed for a long time, and when he opened them for a moment, under the reflection of the night pearl, the bronze coffin shone dazzlingly.

The bronze coffin is sealed here, and no one has ever opened it, judging by the lock pattern.

He picked up Lu Zhao's sleeve and covered his eyes. Lu Zhao looked at the coffin quietly, as if he was thinking about something important, and didn't care that Xue Muji was dangling his sleeve around.

Except for the bronze coffin, there are no decorations around.

"Lu Zhao, guess who is sleeping in this coffin?" Mo Ziyu placed the Ye Mingzhu on the top of the coffin and asked, "The road is full of traps, but in the center of the circle, there is nothing. It can be seen that those traps are for It was set up to protect this coffin. All the mechanisms were set up using our ancient mechanism techniques from Xiliang. Aren’t you curious who the owner of this coffin is?”

Lu Zhao didn't answer again, his eyes moved over the coffin, and found a little missing corner in the corner of the coffin.

"This missing corner seems to have been accidentally touched." Lu Zhao carefully looked at the missing corner, squatted down and looked around the coffin, but found no broken bronze fragments.

"Yanli City is not a famous city in Dajing, but it hides such an interesting thing. What the blueprint refers to, the last words left by the ancestors, the treasure that cannot be found for generations, is this coffin?" Mo Ziyu looked at Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao searched around on the ground, but couldn't find where the missing corner went.He suspected that someone had come before them and left safely. When they left, they accidentally knocked off a corner of the sculpture on the coffin, and brought out the debris of the missing corner.

Is the person who came and left, Crown Prince Jiayu?Or Uncle Xue and the woman who marked the map?And why did they leave without opening the coffin?

Xue Muji waited and waited, one of them stood talking sarcasticly, and the other was lying on the ground looking for something.

What do you guess, what clues are you looking for, who is the owner, don't you know when you open it?

Xue Muji touched the coffin with his hands, trying to unlock the coffin.

"Be careful," Lu Zhao grasped the hand reaching towards the coffin, "Be careful, there are traps."

Xue Muji was frightened for a while, and looked at Mo Ziyu, he was fine all the way, he almost forgot the hidden danger here.

This time... did my brother take the initiative to hold his hand?Hahaha!He was about to laugh out his viscera.

Mo Ziyu said, "There is no mechanism."

After speaking, he took out the dagger from his pocket and began to open the keyhole.

The keyholes on all sides are bright, and the buckle is made of four white beads. Lu Zhao suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Mo Ziyu held the dagger backwards, stood beside him, but opened the coffin in no hurry, and said, "I suspect that this is the coffin of the ancestor emperor of Dajing. The queen's treasure is just an excuse, and I want the queen to come here and find this coffin. Perhaps the secret of his death lies in this coffin. It's so funny that a generation of kings still play this childish game of treasure hunting with their own queen. "

"You guessed right." Lu Zhao seemed to have evidence to make a conclusion.

Only this can explain why Third Uncle Xue, Crown Prince Jiayu and his party came here and left without opening the coffin.Moreover, almost all traces of judging that the treasure was here were destroyed.

As a citizen of Dajing, no one wants to disturb the ancestors.

Mo Ziyu suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you want to take this coffin back to the Dajing Emperor's Mausoleum for burial? Wouldn't it be more in line with his noble status to enjoy offerings and worship for future generations?"

"The ancestor emperor must have his own considerations and reasons for making this decision. Those of us who are descendants should follow his ideas and not go against the original intention of our ancestors for the satisfaction of a little so-called filial piety. "Xue Muji walked around the coffin, it was quiet and undisturbed, and it was much more comfortable than the collapsed and rebuilt Dajing Mausoleum.If it were him, he would also choose this place.

Mo Ziyu has been ignoring this one.

After knowing Lu Zhao's identity, he probably made a judgment on the identity of Xue Muji, who is slightly entangled with Lu Zhao... male favorite.Still a falling out of favor.

"I just feel that it's a pity that I have found something after searching for a long time, but I can't find out to the end. Why did the ancestor emperor die? Don't you want to know?" Mo Ziyu asked.

"I don't want to, even if he knows, he won't be able to survive." Xue Muji said.

Mo Ziyu knew it was useless to talk too much. He had seen the coffin, and the wish passed down from generation to generation in Xiliang was fulfilled. When he went back and told his ancestors tablet how he found the bronze coffin, it was considered a business trip.

He personally took the risk to come to Dajing, the most fundamental purpose, the treasure he was looking for was not this at all.

It's just that he happened to come across Yanli on his way, he found this ruined temple from the clues of the map in his hand, and was dragged in by Xue Muji.

"Just leaving like this, I'm a little unwilling." Mo Ziyu took a dagger and carved a word on the stone wall: "Mei".

???

"It's the maiden name of the princess who married the ancestor emperor of Dajing." Mo Ziyu explained, "I think the ancestor emperor's hope is that the queen can find this place through his clues. It's just that he didn't expect that the queen died for him. .This word, it should be the queen who came here."

Xue Muji thought about it, and this place also has extraordinary meaning to him.

So, a place of love?

He kissed the dog, held the dog, and hugged the dog.

So he drew out the Panyun Sword, knelt down and carved a character next to the charm character.

"new?"

Xue Muji said, "The new character is the watch character of the ancestor emperor. The two people are thousands of miles apart, but if they are engraved together, it is considered as two people living together forever."

He didn't say, this is also his blessing to himself, here is the beginning of a new relationship between him and his brother.

Lu Zhao stared at the two words on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Let's go, it's eerie here, it's too scary. Besides, we'll be here for a few days, Lord Kang should be waiting." Xue Muji thought of going out with his brother holding hands again, his heart pounding again. stand up.

Several people returned along the same road.

Xue Muji naturally pretended to be successful, and his brother was soft-hearted. On the surface, he didn't like to talk to anyone, but he had a warm heart that was a thousand times kinder than him.It's like he sneezed a few times on the way, and at night, my brother covered him with clothes while he was asleep.

Turning back from the wall, there was no one in the temple.

What about Mo Zikang?

Xue Muji comforted Mo Ziyu, who had a grim face, "He probably got bored waiting and went shopping."

The prince of Xiliang's complexion is even worse...

Xue Mu was extremely afraid of being burned by unreasonable anger, so he ran and jumped behind his brother.

Lu Zhao found that the small circle engraved near the temple gate had already gone straight out of the temple gate, and sure enough, his subordinates had already returned.

The leader presented the token, which was thrown by Xue Muji in the temple when he came out, and it was regarded as Lu Zhao's personal token.

"My lord, inside this wall is..."

Lu Zhao raised his hand to stop the conversation, and they immediately understood and stopped talking.

"When you came back, did you see that there were people in this temple?" Lu Zhao asked.

One person said, "My lord, there is no one, but there is a letter on the ground." Then, he took out an envelope from his pocket.

Lu Zhao took it apart and looked back at Mo Ziyu.Mo Ziyu understood and took the letter.

There was a trace of coolness in Mo Ziyu's smile, "Young Lord of Yanli City Yamen? Those who chased us just now are also his people. Sure enough, they didn't go far."

Xue Muji leaned close to his elder brother, and the five dogs were spying on him at the corner of the alley in front of the temple.

Xue Muji has just finished reading the contents of the letter along Lu Zhao's back shoulder, is he going to marry Xue Mei's sick child?What's the last name... After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of it. Forget it, Xue Muji held his flat stomach. In the past few days, they only ate the little dry food that Mo Ziyu carried with him.

His stomach has never been able to bear grievances.

goooo...

The gazes of several people all looked at Xue Muji at the same time.

"Is there anything to eat?" Instead, Lu Zhao asked first.

"Subordinates go buy it immediately." Someone had already flown out.

Mo Ziyu was quite calm, and he didn't lose his sense of control because his younger brother was arrested, "The young master clearly stated in the letter that he wanted me to exchange the jade seal of the Xiliang Kingdom. He really knows how to speak like a lion. But he is a big Jingya Lord, what is the use of my jade seal from Xiliang?"

Lu Zhao thought for a while before saying, "What do you want?"

"He committed his own crime and courted death." Mo Ziyu's face was fierce.

"Don't do anything yet," Lu Zhao said, "For three years in a row, Yamen officials died in the alley. I have to find out the joints at this time. They discovered the whereabouts of the treasure and wanted to explore it, and then died strangely. I guess, this The young master must know something. My people have gained the trust of the young master and have been by his side for a long time. You give me time, and I guarantee the safety of Lord Kang."

Lu Zhao knew in his heart that if Mo Ziyu was determined to kill a yamen master, he would not be able to stop him.It's better to talk about the conditions.

"Master Lu really came prepared. Is it a deal? Then I want one more thing."

"What?" Lu Zhao was sure that this was the key to Mo Ziyu's adventurous coming to Dajing.

"I want the antidote formula for the plague in the southern land of Dajing. Back then, the formula passed away with Crown Prince Jiayu, and it was hard to find. I searched many places, but I couldn't find the slightest trace of the formula. Back then, the pharmaceutical All of them came from the Eastern Palace, and were exterminated by Empress Dowager Feng."

"Okay." Lu Zhao agreed without thinking.

"You want the antidote formula, does Xiliang have it..." Xue Muji hurriedly asked.

Mo Ziyu said, "That's right. There were two people in the palace who were infected with the disease. The medical officer found the source of the disease from the book. The symptoms were exactly the same as the plague in Dajing State 18 years ago. Although there were only two people I am still afraid that it will spread. To prevent it, I have to find the formula in advance. At the Prince Regent's Mansion, Lu Yu and I have passed a letter in advance to confirm that there is no remaining. As far as I know, the exchange with Crown Prince Jiayu Okay, there is another third master of the Xue family."

"You want to go to the library of Pingjiang Marquis Mansion?" Xue Muji asked.

"I'm about to go to Pingjianghou Mansion."

Xue Muji really wanted to ask His Royal Highness, if you want to find the formula, you can ask your subordinates to look for it. The library in the Marquis of Pingjiang Mansion is not so heavily guarded, why did you take the risk to come here yourself?The books there are covered with hairs, and no one reads them. If you ask your subordinates to steal a few books back, no one will find out.

Unless you have ghosts in your heart, and you have done something immoral, you don't want your subordinates to know, and destroy your glorious image as a wise and martial prince.You know, this Xiliang prince was also called "Shuangyu" with Dajing's Jiayu Crown Prince. Although the age difference is nearly ten years, his martial arts and martial arts are also remarkable, and he has done a lot of good things for the country. great things for the people.

They are all people who are looked up to by the people of the country, but the ending of "Shuangyu" is completely different. Dajing's Prince Yu became a victim of the struggle for imperial power and committed suicide against an unjust case. Liang's Crown Prince Yu, who is thriving, already holds the military power in Xiliang. If he wants to, he can immediately force the emperor to abdicate.

So, you can't be too kind.He obviously had the strength to rebel, but he chose to commit suicide in prison, and he even killed his old mother, Princess Qi'an, from his previous life.

"Eat first."

Xue Muji turned his head when he heard the sound, and Lu Zhao handed over the steaming pancakes he had just bought.

Xue Muji grabbed it and ate it, but turned his mouth full of greasy food, and his brother even handed him a handkerchief.

Five puppies, huddled in the alley, drooling, seem to be greedy for the delicious pancakes.

At the end of the meal, there was a lot left over, so Lu Zhao asked his subordinates to feed it.

The dog wagged its tail, as if grateful.Xue Muji didn't feel that the dog was expressing friendship at all, so he grabbed his brother's sleeve and pulled him into the temple gate.

Lu Zhao didn't seem to reject him as much as he did a few days ago. His face turned black when he was pulled and hugged by him, and he walked in the door after being pulled.

"Wait." Mo Ziyu stopped the two from behind, "There is something under the ground in front of the temple gate."

He pointed to where the five dogs were, and saw that the five dogs did not eat immediately after they got the food. Instead, they took their danglings to a tree not far from the temple gate, put the food together, and set aside a little before eating. Drop the rest.

"Dogs understand human nature, leave food for their former benefactors." Mo Ziyu said.

Xue Muji also thought that just enough to bark around the temple gate, maybe he and his brother disturbed something that the dogs wanted to protect.

"Dig." Lu Zhao ordered immediately.

Several people moved quickly.

"My lord, it's... a corpse..."

Xue Muji stretched his head to look around, Lu Zhao's big hand covered his eyes, and he hid behind his long arm.

"Autopsy."
