Rescue the old male god
Chapter 42
Because Huamanlou couldn't see, he was very calm, but Lu Xiaofeng and Chen Yuanyuan were already shocked by the sight in front of them.
In the mountainside with a radius of tens of feet, it is full of jewels as far as the eye can see.The priceless jewels, gold and silver made Lu Xiaofeng, who has never been short of money, sigh, compared with the things in front of him, he is simply a pauper.In addition to the huge wealth, there are clusters of red-tasseled spears and ghost-headed knives bundled up against the wall.
This is obviously not just a treasure trove, but an armament warehouse.
Isn't Huo Xiu's conspiracy not just the wealth of the Jinpeng Dynasty?This terrible guess instantly appeared in the minds of Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Chen Yuanyuan.It's just about making money, things are already so complicated, if it's about rebellion, then...
But the fact is that with such military strength, it is not impossible to collude with the important ministers of the current dynasty to rebel.
So Lu Xiaofeng almost wanted to cry, why did he take over this unlucky case at that time!
Waves of unexpected things followed, and before they could calm down, something even more shocking happened.
Four old men dressed in identical brocade and embroidered golden dragon robes appeared out of nowhere, striding towards the three of them, yelling at anyone who dares to break into the emperor's palace and drag them out to kill them without mercy!
"You said this is the emperor's bedroom?" Chen Yuanyuan asked, "Then who are you?"
It would be good not to ask this question, but as soon as Chen Yuanyuan said this, the four old people exploded, and the voices of "Gu Nai Jinpeng Dynasty No. 13 Great Jinpeng King" sounded one after another in the belly of the mountain.
They spoke loudly one by one, but they could hear the other three saying the same thing, with crazy looks in their eyes, accusing each other of lying.Of course, this kind of accusation and debate was fruitless, so in the end it turned into four people grabbing each other's hair and fighting together. Not to mention that they didn't have half a king's air at all, it was just like children fighting.
At this time, four teenagers dressed in yellow robes and dressed as inner eunuchs, carrying four identical scarlet food boxes, walked over from the door on the mountain wall at the back, and knelt down in front of the four "Great Jinpeng Kings". He asked them to have a meal, but the four "Great Jinpeng Kings" were in the middle of a fight, and no one paid any attention to the four teenagers.
"What a lunatic!" Chen Yuanyuan had a headache from the quarrel, so she quickly controlled violence with violence.The needle was raised and dropped, and the four old men and the four teenagers all passed out.Lu Xiaofeng saw Chen Yuanyuan's clean and neat flying needle technique, and suddenly felt the back of his neck was cold, so he quickly touched it with his hand.
"I always thought that only women would grab their hair when they fight. Seventh brother, it's better to be out of sight at such times." Chen Yuanyuan said, walked over to check the physical condition of the four old men, and made sure Said, "There is no sunlight all year round, the closed room is closed, and there is no contact with the outside world, which makes them lose their minds and go crazy."
"Huo Xiu did it again." Lu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth.
"You'll know if you ask yourself." Hua Manlou said, pulling Chen Yuanyuan and walking with him into the stone gate on the mountain wall.
After the stone gate, there was another long corridor, Lu Xiaofeng walked slowly, he could already smell the aroma of wine, this could not help but touch his memory even more, it was also this kind of wine that he drank with Huo Xiu in the past.
However, no matter how good the wine is, its taste has changed now.
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly pushed open the last stone door, as if expressing some kind of emotion.
******
Huo Xiu was wearing a set of blue cloth clothes that had been washed white, and barefoot wearing broken straw sandals. He was sitting on the ground, warming wine leisurely on a small red clay stove with a broken tin pot.
Chen Yuanyuan saw Huo Xiu for the first time in her life, and she felt that this person was really abnormal, did he have some self-abuse tendencies?Even as a miser, you are too superb!
Facing the questioning eyes of Lu Xiaofeng and others, Huo Xiu, or Shangguanmu, remained calm and unhurried, fully demonstrating his thick-skinned, high-level general demeanor.
"Lu Xiaofeng, you are too smart to be a friend." Huo Xiu raised his glass and lamented his carelessness in making friends, "There are so many traps in this building, but I don't even want to hide alone and enjoy a glass of wine." Can't do it, do you think you are an asshole?"
"I've always been an asshole, but recently thanks to some even more assholes, I have indeed lost a lot of friends," said Lu Xiaofeng with no emotion on his face, his eyes bottomless.
"It's hard for the three of you to come to my small building as guests, why don't you have a glass of wine first." Huo Xiu turned and said.
"I'm afraid this glass of wine is very expensive, and you may have to risk your life to taste it." Chen Yuanyuan snorted coldly, "Isn't it, Mr. Manager?"
Huo Xiu laughed, "Looking at your expressions, I'm afraid what you know may be different from the facts."
"What's the truth? Please advise, Mr. Shangguan." Hua Manlou said.
Huo Xiu said slowly, with a sense of vicissitudes unique to old people, "Yes, I am Shangguanmu, and Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe were all important ministers of the Jinpeng Dynasty. The wealth of the old dynasty was transferred to the Central Plains in order to avoid the disaster of war and revive the national style in the future. But after arriving in the Central Plains, we can no longer find the whereabouts of the No.13 King Jinpeng. Year."
"What did you say?" Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise, "It's he who avoids you, not you who avoid him?"
"Just now you also saw that the treasures and weapons in the belly of the mountain were originally used to revive the Jinpeng Dynasty's military pay. It takes a lot of thought to protect such a huge wealth. Over the years, Yan Tieshan, Dugu Yihe and I have used This wealth has made a lot of money. I thought I could lobby your current emperor and send troops to help us restore the dynasty, but the No. 13 King Jinpeng has been missing for decades and no one can be found. How can we start? Got this mouth?"
"Why does King Jinpeng avoid you?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
Huo Xiu raised his head and sighed, "You young people tend to think too simply about the world. King Jinpeng was still a child decades ago. To him, this wealth does not only represent Prosperity and wealth. He was born in an emperor's family. Since he has received more honorable treatment than ordinary people, he is destined to take on more responsibilities and pay a higher price. As long as he is in charge of these wealth for one day, he will try to find a way to regain the lost However, this matter is not easy to talk about. He not only has to suffer a lot, but also lives in fear every day, worrying that he may lose his life at any time. Therefore, this money is simply a hot potato for him, he might as well throw it away as soon as possible .”
The plot has taken a big turn. Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Chen Yuanyuan are also confused now. I don't know who is telling the truth?
"Then why did he come to you again now?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Did you notice it?"
"Hehe," Huo Xiu said with a sarcastic smile, "It's been decades, not only is he old, but we are all people who are about to die. He thinks we don't have the will or the strength to restore the country, so he wants to I want to borrow the hands of you young people, not only can I get the money back, but I can also kill us all along the way, so that he can control the wealth as he likes, without any worries." Huo Xiu looked sad. "Unfortunately, he was wrong. As long as I, Huo Xiu, live in this world, I will not fail the king's entrustment."
But Lu Xiaofeng clearly remembered King Jinpeng's eyes at that time, full of hope and enthusiasm, would a person who was used to avoiding responsibility really have such eyes?
"But what happened to those four people outside?" Hua Manlou asked, "Did they pretend to be King Jinpeng to ask for wealth? Apart from the four old officials of you and the real King Jinpeng, could it be Anyone else?"
Huo Xiu nodded, "Yes, there is another person who also knows this secret. The four people outside are pawns in his hands. They pretended to be King Jinpeng and asked me for money, but I saw through them all."
"How long have you locked them up?" Chen Yuanyuan asked, "They've all gone crazy."
"Since they want to be emperor so much, I want them to be here for the rest of their lives, facing the jewels and wearing imperial robes, wouldn't it be fun." Huo Leisure leaned there, "Although it is punishment, I did not treat them badly. "
Although it is self-inflicted, but this kind of torture is far more terrifying than killing them, it is cruel enough!Chen Yuanyuan looked at Huo Xiu, this plainly dressed, gray-haired old man was actually more resourceful than she thought, otherwise the wealth would not have been safe and sound for so many years.
Huo Xiu sneered, "Over the years, there have been more than the four of them pretending to be King Jinpeng. Maybe the one you saw is also fake."
As soon as this remark came out, all three of them were shocked. Huo Xiu had already expected their reaction, and said, "I asked Sikong Jiexing to steal that Danfeng princess back, just to find out her authenticity. Who would have thought that Sikong Jiexing The star is also your friend."
"How do you tell if it's real or not?" Hua Manlou asked, "Decades ago, Princess Danfeng was not born yet."
"Of course I have my own way. The nobles of the Jinpeng Dynasty all had visions. They had six toes on each foot. It has been passed down from generation to generation. There has never been an exception. This secret is only shared by the royal family and us. Only an important minister knows. As long as Princess Danfeng has six toes, it means that she is a descendant of the real Jinpeng Dynasty, otherwise, even if ordinary people know this secret, they will not be able to pretend it."
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly smiled, with a bit of sadness in his smile, "Then is she real or fake?"
"Sikong Zhaixing didn't steal her back, how would I know?" Huo Xiu said.
"Stop pretending, didn't you send people from Tsing Yi Lou to take her and Yu Yu away?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I haven't seen Princess Danfeng until now, and as for what you said, I haven't even heard of it." Huo Xiu said innocently, "How can I invite people from Tsingyi Building? "
"Aren't you the owner of the first floor in Tsing Yi?" Lu Xiaofeng blurted out and then felt that this question was too stupid to ask.
"No." Huo Xiu didn't look like he was lying at all.
Things seemed to suddenly come back to square one.
"Then who is the owner of the first floor in Tsing Yi? How could Shangguan Danfeng disappear suddenly?" Lu Xiaofeng asked distressed.
Huo Xiu looked at him without speaking.
Everyone was silent for a while, at this time Hua Manlou suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You just said that there is another person who also knows this secret, who is that person?"
"I've never seen this man before," Huo Xiu replied.
"Haven't you seen those four people outside? Aren't they sent by that person?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"They have only seen that person three times in total, each time with different costumes and faces, and they can only tell that it is the same person from the voice." Huo Xiu said truthfully.
"So, that person is still a master of disguise?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"Some people are proficient in disguise, and can even change their voices. If they have reached the stage of transformation, even I can't tell the difference." Huamanlou said.
Wait, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly thought of something. That night in Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, he thought that Yan Tieshan was exposed because of his identity, and he drove them away out of embarrassment. If what Huo Xiu said was true, then Yan Tieshan was actually afraid of their collusion. He came to make money, so did he have that kind of reaction?And why did Yan Tieshan have such a strange expression when she saw Shangguan Danfeng before she died?After that, Shangguan Danfeng disappeared. If Huo Xiu was not the owner of Tsingyi Building, nor the person who kidnapped Shangguan Danfeng and Chen Youyu, could it be that...
Could it be that Shangguan Danfeng is the mastermind behind the whole thing?
If it is true, Lu Xiaofeng deeply feels that women are indeed the most terrifying creatures.
In the mountainside with a radius of tens of feet, it is full of jewels as far as the eye can see.The priceless jewels, gold and silver made Lu Xiaofeng, who has never been short of money, sigh, compared with the things in front of him, he is simply a pauper.In addition to the huge wealth, there are clusters of red-tasseled spears and ghost-headed knives bundled up against the wall.
This is obviously not just a treasure trove, but an armament warehouse.
