Dugu Xinyue said in surprise: "How can it be the fourteenth year of Tianbao, and now it is the thirteenth year of Tianbao!"
"This is a decree that was written long ago. It took Tianbao eight years to write it."
Li Ye immediately understood the cause and effect of this. Feilong confirmed himself as the heir in the eighth year of Tianbao, and soon became immortal in Wutingchuan. There was only two or three months in between, and everything was arranged within these two or three months.
It shows that Feilong entered the secret room once in Tianbao's eighth year and placed the jade box in the secret room.
Li Ye felt very uncomfortable. The various promotions and titles he had earned through hard work had been arranged long ago.
So what does the outstanding contribution you have made count?
Worse than shit?
This kind of complete denial of his own value made Li Ye particularly resentful.
He felt like a puppet, being manipulated by others. From Tianbao's eighth year until now, he didn't even know it.
"I'm going out for a walk!"
Li Ye felt panicked in his heart, so he left the house and walked back and forth to a small river, with several soldiers following him from a distance.
November is already the beginning of winter, and the weather is a bit cold, especially at night when the north wind blows by the river, making it extremely chilly.
Li Ye took a deep breath of cold air, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and forced himself to calm down. The situation in the court is strange now. He must be calm and rational, and see through the strange fog of the court. If he makes a wrong step, he will be in danger.
Li Ye gradually regained his composure. Once he calmed down, he felt something was wrong. The imperial decree was to confer the title of King of Liang in the 14th year of Tianbao. What about before?
I have been promoted from earl to county prince, county prince, and county king. Why don't I have these arrangements?
In addition, when I was in Tianbao for the ninth year, I got this secret room map because Shi Kun's son assassinated Ming Song. In other words, if I had gone in at that time, I would have known that I was the king of Liang in the fourteenth year of Tianbao.
.
Isn't this a little weird?
The more Li Ye thought about it, the more something was wrong. This decree should have been put in during the past few months.
At this moment, something flashed in Li Ye's mind like a flash of lightning, and he turned around and ran towards the house.
Soon, he walked into the room quickly, walked to the table and picked up the jade box containing the imperial edict. He looked back and forth and found that it was spotless. He also found his night clothes, which had not been washed, and there was no spot on the fabric attached to the box.
dust.
But he remembered clearly that there was a thick layer of dust on each large wooden box.
Even if Tianbao was put in for eight years, after five years, there should still be a thin layer of dust on it.
Dugu Xinyue, who had already fallen asleep, got up and came over and asked, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Li Ye handed her the jade box and said, "Look at this box. From the eighth year of Tianbao to now, there is no dust at all. Do you think it is reasonable?"
Dugu Xinyue thought for a while and said, "Is it possible that there is no dust in the secret room?"
Li Ye shook his head, "I remember very clearly that there was a lot of dust in the secret room. I was also surprised that there must be a vent blowing the dust into the secret room."
"What do you mean, husband, this box has just been put in?"
Li Ye nodded, "And it was just a few days before I came back."
Dugu Xinyue frowned, "That's strange, who else knows about this secret room, and this person actually knows the password, no! Didn't my husband say that once it is closed, it cannot be opened again within three months?"
"I don't know. It said this on the map. I thought it was the same as the Taipingfang Secret Room."
Li Ye seemed to have thought of something, bit his lip and said, "I want to go there again, just ask my mother to accompany me."
Pei Sanniang complained very much, but she still accompanied her son to the secret room again. There was no need to clean up the soil. Li Ye climbed in directly. Pei Sanniang drew his sword and squatted by the hole, watching the surroundings vigilantly.
Li Ye activated the code again, pushed the bluestone, and with a 'click!' sound, the secret door opened again.
It didn't take three months at all. Li Ye immediately understood that the reason why it was written that it could not be opened for three months was to cover up Feilong's evil deeds of refusing to save him. His men desperately held the door open to let the master escape, but he himself
If you are trapped in the cave, then Feilong opens the door again and his men will come out.
But he didn't do this, and ran away directly. Whether he was afraid of being discovered, or for some other reason, he could come again at night or the next day to rescue his men, but he didn't care.
The cruelty and callousness of his heart can be seen from the fact that his subordinates were trapped alive and died.
Will such a person allow himself to comfortably enjoy the fruits of his years?
Li Ye began to understand Feilong's true nature. His disciples thought he was the Supreme Emperor, but only he knew that he was just a Taoist priest from the late Yuan Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty.
Li Ye returned to the secret room again. This time he was very fast and came directly to the iron frame. As expected, there was thick dust on the iron frame, but where the jade box was placed, there was no box at all.
contour.
This is completely unreasonable. If it had been stored for five years, there would have been an outline of a box on the iron shelf anyway, but there was not. Then there is only one explanation. The jade box had just been put in for a few days.
Li Ye held up the fire folder high. It was obvious that the flames were pulling upwards, which meant that there was a vent above. It seemed to be quite small, and the dust came in through the vent.
Li Ye turned around and left the secret room again
When Li Ye returned to the house, Pei Sanniang was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes and went back to her room to sleep.
Li Ye returned to his room, only to find that his wife Dugu Xinyue was not asleep yet, and was still studying something at the table?
"Xinyue, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Dugu Xinyue smiled sweetly and said: "I am studying this jade box."
Li Ye stepped forward and said with a smile: "Did you find anything?"
"Yes! Husband, look at this."
Dugu Xinyue turned the back of the box over, and there were three words in the lower left corner, 'Made by Good Works'.
"What do you mean, what does good workmanship mean?" Li Ye asked in confusion.
"It seems that your husband really doesn't understand that Lianggongzao is the name of a very famous jewelry store in Dongshi."
Li Ye suddenly realized, "You mean to check from the jade box?"
Dugu Xinyue nodded, "I think this jade box is quite valuable, I should be able to find clues."
In the afternoon of the next day, the whole family left Fengxian County in a carriage and returned to Chang'an. Fengxian County was still quite far from Chang'an. If we left in the afternoon, we would not arrive until the next morning, and we would have to spend a night on the road.
Fortunately, the carriage was very spacious and comfortable, and the road surface was flat, so it was not very tiring.
The little guy is very cute, like a little koala. He only sleeps and eats, or he sits in his father's arms and watches the scenery, babbling and talking. Her diapers are piled up behind the carriage.
vat.
The carriage finally arrived in Chang'an and returned to the mansion. Pei Sanniang yawned and went into the mansion. She said, "If you need anything, come see me tomorrow. I want to have a good sleep. I'm exhausted."
Li Ye returned to his house again. The family of three entered the house and left the rest to the housekeeper. Li Ye pointed to a wooden box and said, "Put that box in my study."
In the box is the Khotan seed jade he brought back from Anxi. It is produced in the Khotan River in Anxi. It is actually difficult to see it in Anxi. It is not because it is not valuable, but because it is a source of wealth for Anxi Jiedu Prefecture, which has an army.
The guards sent someone to go down to the river to pick up the jade, send it to Chang'an, and sell it to major jewelry stores.
Major jewelry shops then carve it into various accessories and sell them to literati and dignitaries. If it is a natural and perfect jade, there is no need to carve it, and it can be directly wrapped with a necklace.
If Li Ye's box of beautiful jade was seen by Bian Lingcheng, he would probably go crazy.
