Early the next morning, Li Ye arrived at the Taipingfang house. The house was already empty. Only Lao Kou's family was left to look after the house for him. An old couple and a young granddaughter lived here dependent on each other.
"Master is here!" Aunt Kou quickly opened the door.
"Auntie, has anyone come to see me in the past two days?"
"No! It's very quiet."
Li Ye walked into the door and said: "I have a friend coming later. She is the girl who took away my polo club. She is my senior sister. Just let her in!"
"I see!"
Li Ye's house is actually not small, covering an area of three acres and is divided into three parts. The front yard is the kitchen, stable, warehouse, servants' room, etc., and the atrium is the patio, living room, dining hall, and living room.
.
The larger one is the back house, which covers an area of about one and a half acres and has three yards. In addition to the main yard, there are side yards on both sides. One of the small side yards is used as a maid's room, and the other side yard is not used.
Live in the main courtyard.
The secret room is also in the main courtyard. The main courtyard is also divided into two parts by a flower wall. The larger part is where parents and Aunt Mu live, and the smaller part is where Li Ye lives. In fact, this flower wall did not originally exist. Pei Sanniang found someone to build it later.
, it was moved shortly after it was built.
The secret room cannot be opened now, and it will take another five days to complete three months. This kind of secret room cannot be tried yet. If the attempt fails, it will never be opened. This is what Taoist Master Mingsong told him repeatedly.
Li Ye himself also understood that this was Feilong's thinking. He would rather destroy it than let irrelevant people in.
But what Liefeng said, Feilong hid something else, and it was definitely not in the secret room, so where could it be?
First of all, it couldn't be in the front yard, where it would be easily discovered by the servants' servants, so there was only the back house and the atrium.
Li Ye walked to a big tree in his yard. There was an iron box buried under the big tree. The map and mechanism for entering Qiaoling revealed that there was a huge amount of wealth buried inside. Feilong spent twenty
Over the years, the wealth in Qiaoling Mausoleum was gradually moved to the empty room on the outside of the mausoleum.
Li Ye looked at the map. As long as he found and opened the passage to the mausoleum, he would see mountains of boxes piled up within a hundred steps.
Of course, Li Ye could go in with the map, but the question is, how to deal with it? If they are discovered and reported, Li Longji and Yang Guozhong will definitely snatch back this wealth at all costs.
He can only have a chance when the world is in chaos.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Ye felt something. When he turned around, Suzaku was already standing behind him. She was wearing a red warrior uniform and a gauze hat. At first glance, she was clearly a handsome man.
This is actually a major feature of the Tang Dynasty. Girls like to wear men's clothes.
Suzaku said a little embarrassedly: "I think since I'm looking for treasure, it's more convenient to wear men's clothes, what do you think?"
Li Ye nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Senior brother, what you said makes sense!"
Suzaku smiled, "Pfft!" and rolled his eyes at him, "You're becoming more and more talkative!"
There was a hint of sugar in his voice, and Li Ye's heart skipped a beat, he scratched his head and said with a smile, "I'll show senior sister a secret first!"
"What is it?"
When Zhuque saw Li Ye leading him into the room, he couldn't help but feel a little shy and hesitated to move.
"Sister, don't you want to see the secret room?"
Zhuque's eyes lit up, "Did you find it?"
"No! It's a secret room that already exists."
Zhuque didn't doubt anything else and quickly followed Li Ye into the room.
Walking into the study, Li Ye gently held her hand. Suzaku quickly retracted his hand but did not break away. She bit her lips, her pretty face flushed, and whispered: "Junior brother, don't. Don't do this."
"Isn't it natural for junior brother to hold senior sister's hand?"
Li Ye was shameless and simply grabbed both of her hands. The two faced each other face to face. Suzaku lowered his head, his pretty face flushed, but did not break free of his hands, letting him hold her.
Although the layer of window paper between them has been quietly pierced, it doesn't come to a sudden flood, it still has to flow slowly by a thin trickle, and it is more wonderful to accumulate little by little.
Li Ye said with a smile: "A certain female thief stole my polo club, and I finally caught her."
Zhuque felt relieved and smiled: "That's because someone is not trustworthy. He promised to give it to me but pretended to have forgotten it. The thief is here to take back what already belongs to him."
After saying that, Zhuque's eyes were full of autumn water, her beautiful eyes were raised to look at Li Ye, her eyes were moving, her lips were pursed and she smiled: "Isn't that right?"
Li Ye let go of her hand and laughed, "It's not that I forgot, I just left in a hurry. I remember the first time we met, you asked me who gave me the polo club and why?"
"Because I think it looks too much like my master's polo club, almost exactly the same, so I'm curious! Who is this? It's the same as my master's polo club. Of course I have to ask, but someone's attitude is...
It’s very bad, and it has made this girl still feel resentful about it.”
"Are you still choking now? Do you want a drink of water?"
Suzaku punched him in the back and said, "I'm still pretending. I found out later when I got the polo stick. It was clearly my master's polo stick, and there was a painting carved on it from my childhood."
"ah!"
Li Ye suddenly realized, "I never knew if it was the Three Little Pigs running after the ball. I thought the polo poles were sold by a store called The Three Little Pigs!"
Suzaku covered his mouth and laughed so hard that he couldn't imagine the Three Little Pigs' shop.
Suzaku rolled his eyes at him, "Let's get down to business! Can you show me where the secret room is? Let's talk first. If there is a secret room, I won't go in. I'm afraid someone will trick me into the secret room and do something."
Li Ye raised his hands and said with a smile: "What a huge injustice! Only the senior sister was doing something just now, I didn't do anything!"
Suzaku kicked him again, "I'm the only one allowed to touch you, remember?"
"It's simply unreasonable!"
Suzaku said proudly: "You said it yourself, it is natural for a senior sister to touch and touch a junior brother, so I will remember it."
Li Ye pretended to be distressed and said: "Oh! I've trapped myself in a cocoon, okay! I'll treat my senior sister to a drink later to make amends."
"Okay! Let's go to Pingkangfang. I'll ask two more singers to sing a little song."
Suzaku liked this kind of flirting feeling very much. The relationship was open, but it was as gentle as water, flowing into her heart like a trickle.
"Is this the secret room?"
She stepped forward and patted the wall, "I really didn't notice it when I was outside. When I came in, I realized that the outside window was gone."
Li Ye nodded, "It was a false window. It was also a brick wall when opened, but there was a stone wall inside the brick wall. The stone wall was made of granite and large bluestones, which was two feet thick. Iron liquid was also cast on the ground, making it extremely strong.
The only way is to burn it with fire and then pour cold water on it to loosen the stones little by little."
Suzaku nodded and asked: "How to ventilate it inside?"
"I originally thought there was a very secret vent inside, but now I realize that only the entrance is ventilated. If the entrance is closed, people will suffocate inside. So when it is opened, the lights inside will light up by themselves. That's why."
Li Ye took out the books from the bookshelf and piled them on the ground, then slowly pushed open the back panel, revealing a two-foot-long and wide hole, with an iron door looming inside.
"This is Feilong's secret room. It can only be opened once every three months. The mechanism is very complex. If there is a slight mistake, it will be completely destroyed. The last time I opened it was just after I came back. There are still five days until it reaches three months. I can't get in today.
"
"What's it like inside?" Suzaku asked curiously.
"The inside is very narrow, about two feet long and only five feet wide. There is an iron shelf on one side. There are more than a dozen wooden boxes on the ground. There are 30,000 taels of gold in the box. Last time I took out 5,000 taels, which is what's inside
.
The wooden shelves are all collected by Feilong. There are the heads used by Li Shimin, a set of jewelry from Queen Changsun's wedding, a precious sword, a suit of armor and a few long weapons, that's about all."
"Okay! I just asked, let's start the treasure hunt!"
Zhuque smiled sweetly and said, "I'll go to the atrium, and you'll be in charge of the backyard. Let's see who finds it first."
"Wait a minute!"
Li Ye took a white wax stick from behind the door and handed it to her, "It's more convenient to use this."
Suzaku took the white wax stick and went to the atrium. She also knew that it would not be in the front yard, but could only be in the atrium and the back house.
After Li Ye packed up the bookcase, he actually doubted whether there was any treasure at all, but Lie Feng created an opportunity to let Zhuque stay alone with him.
