After Mrs. Shang finished speaking, she returned to the carriage where she came from surrounded by a group of people. After sitting in the carriage, she suddenly leaned back and fell asleep leaning on the soft cushion.
When she woke up, she found that it was already dark, but she could not remember what happened during the day. However, she was a big-hearted person and quickly put the matter behind her.
Since I hadn't eaten for almost a day, I ordered a large table of food and started to devour it while the waitress served me.
When Shang Xueling heard that she had woken up, he hurriedly came out of the study and came to greet her.
He is a handsome and handsome man, only in his early thirties. He is described as having a very graceful manner. When he was standing there, Mrs. Shang did not look like a couple. But if he knew that Mrs. Shang's father was a wealthy man in Ruiguang City, this gorgeous scene in front of him would
The manor and the luxurious life were only acquired by Shang Xueling after he married Mrs. Shang. All of this is easy to understand.
While eating, Mrs. Shang puffed out her cheeks and asked vaguely: "Have you eaten, husband?"
Shang Xueling hesitated for a moment, not daring to say that he had already eaten, and said: "Not yet, not yet."
"If you haven't eaten yet, let's eat together."
Shang Xueling had no choice but to sit down. Under Mrs. Shang's constant persuasion to eat, the two of them ate the entire table of food.
After Mrs. Shang finished eating, she burped happily and rinsed her mouth with the mouthwash brought by the waitress. When she was wiping it with a handkerchief, she suddenly saw that Shang Xueling's face turned pale and asked: "Husband, you
Why don't you look good? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shang Xueling held his belly with one hand and supported himself with the other. He leaned on the chair, forced a smile and said, "No, I'm fine."
Mrs. Shang suddenly yawned and said strangely: "Why are you so sleepy today? Husband, go and do your work. Eat more when you are tired. If you eat, you will feel less tired. I will eat and go to bed."
"Okay, madam, please help yourself."
After she left, Shang Xueling held his stomach and slowly stood up with a grimace on his face, moving slowly. He was afraid that if he took a slightly longer step, he would spit out the food stuffed into his throat.
Mrs. Shang walked around the backyard a few times and slipped the dog, but she felt more and more sleepy. She went back and took a bath, then went to bed while the maid served her. When she slept until midnight, she suddenly opened her eyes.
He quickly climbed up from the bed.
She looked at her bloated body with disgust, thought for a moment, took a large coat and put it on casually, then walked out of the back room, looked at the layout of the house, roughly recognized the direction, and walked along the inner corridor.
Walk towards the study room.
Outside the study stood two servants who were leaning against the wall and taking a nap. However, there was an arrogant air on their faces, which did not look like subordinates at all. When they heard the footsteps, they suddenly raised their heads, their eyes shining brightly.
Overflowing, but when they saw it was Mrs. Shang, they looked at each other and closed their eyes again, ignoring it at all.
Mrs. Shang didn't say anything, she walked directly into the study and closed the door from inside.
The study room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. There are densely packed books and scrolls outside, and there is also a large table covered with paper manuscripts, rulers and other tools. It is vaguely visible that some buildings are being drawn. This is because Shang Xue Ling
Although his major is ancient natural history, he is also very interested in architecture.
Mrs. Shang didn't look at this and walked directly to the inner room. Seeing that Shang Xueling was sleeping on the bed here, she walked up and tapped several parts of his neck and head with her thick fingers.
, the latter’s snoring soon became louder.
Mrs. Shang looked around and began to rummage inside, but after rummaging for a long time, she still couldn't find what she was looking for. There was no dark room here, and there was no locked box or anything like that.
She thought for a while, looked back at Shang Xueling, observed, reached out and lifted him up, and easily pushed him into the corner. Then she turned over the mattress and saw a row of papers pressed flatly underneath.
Book bag.
Her eyes lit up, she pulled out the album bag, recognized the unprotected mark on it, and then slowly took out the manuscript inside.
There were rows of ancient characters on the manuscript. She couldn't understand it, and she didn't know which ones she needed. But it didn't matter, she just had to write them all down.
After reading all the manuscripts in the album bag, she returned everything intact and was about to go out, but she had already reached the door and reached out to pull it open. She felt as if she had overlooked something.
He stood for a while and then came back.
She walked around the study room twice, and finally noticed a pull rope beside Shang Xueling's bed. She hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and pulled it lightly, and heard a click.
A big black bird glazed lamp lowered from above and landed in the middle of the study, reaching a position as high as one person.
She took a few steps up, looked around, and saw that there was less dust in a certain area. She went up and groped around, and heard a slight sound, but she found a square box from the top, with three documents neatly placed inside.
There is also one that looks like an exquisite headdress for a girl.
She took out one of the documents and opened it, but it was a land deed and a house deed located somewhere in the southeast of the city, and she skipped it directly; the second one was a gold dollar bill agreement from the bank, the amount was huge, and it was also skipped.
Pass.
After opening the third copy, it was filled with densely packed ancient texts. She couldn't help but show an unexpected and excited expression. After a while, she straightened her expression again and wrote down all these carefully.
After reading it, she put the things back, pulled the rope, and returned the glazed lamp to its original position. Then she came out of the study. The two doorkeepers never paid attention to her.
She returned to her room, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep again.
In an alleyway not far from Shangzhai, Bai Qingqing opened his eyes and wiped the sweat from his head. To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable with that bloated body of a mortal and the slightly pungent smell of perfume.
Adapted, fortunately everything went well.
At the same time, he was also a little proud. If he hadn't studied metaphysics carefully, he always felt that the layout of something in the study was out of place with the surroundings, as if it was forcibly added later. It would be difficult to find the thing hidden on the glass lamp.
.
He knocked on the wall of the carriage to wake up the dozing coachman and said, "Go back."
The carriage came out of the alleyway, returned to the city, and finally stopped at Anluju. After he came out, he entered the inner city platform through the passage here, returned to the Academy from here, and finally returned to Xuanfu.
When he arrived at his residence, he closed the door, wrote down everything he saw verbatim, and flicked it with his fingers, his face full of excitement.
Although he didn't know what was written on it, he could feel that these things were very important to Xuanfu, so he didn't delay for a moment. As soon as the ink was dry, he immediately went to the affairs hall and handed the things over.
Xiang Chun was overjoyed to see that he had brought the things back so quickly. He really praised him and said that he should teach him a secret method based on his achievements.
Bai Qingqing was also extremely surprised. Originally, his merits were not enough to be taught such a secret technique. He compared Zhang Yuli's merits and thought that it would take at least three or four more to achieve such feats as annihilating the underground tribe.
, I didn’t expect that I was directly taught this time.
In fact, this is both because of his own meritorious service and because of the abandonment of the so-called "Xiulin Policy". Therefore, Xuanfu has seriously cultivated his talents, instead of just being an outside attraction like before.
The guise of attention.
After Xiang Chun encouraged Bai Qingqing some more, he let him go down, and then immediately ordered: "Go and invite Junior Brother Zhang here."
Zhang Yu has been waiting for news in the side hall since yesterday. Hearing Xiang Chun's invitation, he knew that the matter must have come to an end. He immediately set off and came to the affairs hall. After saluting, Xiang Chun pointed to the picture and text on the case.
, said: "Junior brother Zhang, please take a look at these words. Are they the contents of the secret volume you want?"
Zhang Yu picked up a piece of paper and found that there were many traces of deletions on it. He immediately realized that this was because Bai Qingqing did not understand ancient writing and was just transcribing it strictly. Therefore, many places where Shang Xue Ling had daubed were also transcribed in the same way.
Above, but this is better, indicating that he completely transformed the original manuscript at that time.
He read several pieces of paper in succession and determined that this was the content of the secret volume. Although the descriptions in many places were different, the praise of a certain place in it was highly similar. It was basically confirmed that it was the same place.
place.
In it, he also discovered several questions that Shang Xue Ling mentioned to him above Xue Xun.
After turning to the last piece of paper, he saw a very neat and detailed secret document, which seemed to be the entire content of the secret volume, and his eyes couldn't help but pause.
He had a second thought. If his guess was correct, when Shang Xueling translated and read it, he had not been able to see the complete secret volume at once, but had obtained it in batches. Therefore, the translation on the paper manuscript was very fragmented.
One copy should have been compiled by the person himself later.
Xiang Chun asked anxiously: "Junior Brother Zhang, how are you doing?"
Zhang Yu put down the paper and said: "As I guessed before, this is indeed the content of the secret volume pointing to that place. Well, Junior Brother Bai did a good job."
Xiang Chun felt relieved. He thought for a moment and asked, "Junior Brother Zhang, are you sure you can use this to find the boundary before the Shenwei Army this time?"
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "It's just one more possibility. However, if the secret volume recovered by Junior Brother Bai is the one lost by the Wenxiu Academy, and the Shenwei Army has not obtained the other half from other places,
If Zhang, then the final position we can get will not deviate too much from theirs. Whether we can find it first depends on what specific situations we will encounter."
Xiang Chun thought about it and agreed with this view.
After all, the hinterland of Anshan is not the territory of the Protectorate. It is filled with indigenous barbarians, spiritual creatures, ancient ruins and even supernatural gods. There are too many variables. Once inside, no one can say what will happen.
At this time, Zhang Yu flipped through the manuscripts again, raised his head and said: "Shang Xue Ling's knowledge is good, but there are still some shortcomings in the translation of the text, and some places are slightly different from the original meaning. I need to take these papers back and check them again.
