After walking a few meters, Lu Yan saw the deep pit.
The pit is not big, but it is quite deep. If you fall into it, you will not be able to get out on your own without some help.
Lu Yan put his arm around He Yunxi's waist and led her to fly to the opposite side, landing firmly on the ground. Then Song Jiang and Song He also flew over.
They continued walking forward. Because of the potholes at the intersection, He Yunxi thought there would be some kind of mechanism here. It turned out that they had thought too much. They encountered nothing along the way.
After walking a long distance, He Yunxi estimated that he had at least reached the underground of another mountain.
She couldn't help complaining: "This is too long. Has it turned several hills into basements?"
Lu Yan and the other three were also very surprised. This basement was simply a bit magical.
"These are excavated manually and cannot be completed overnight." Lu Yan said, "Of course, if more people participate, the speed will naturally be much faster. These traces are a bit old and should have existed for a longer time."
He Yunxi put the torch close to the wall. There were some moss-like plants on the wall in the darkness, indicating that it had been here for a long time.
"I'm a little curious about what can be found here."
A few minutes later, they finally came to a cave with packed bags inside.
They couldn't tell how deep the cave was, but they could tell how high it was.
"What's in here?" He Yunxi asked curiously.
"If I guessed correctly, there should be food in the bag." Lu Yan said.
Song He stepped forward, opened a bag and looked at it. It contained rice.
He Yunxi's eyes jumped. Rice is not cheap nowadays. Such a big bag of rice is worth a lot of money.
Song Jiang also opened a bag, which contained beans.
He Yunxi touched the other bags and found that the contents were different, but they were all grains.
"It seems like there should be quite a lot." He Yunxi said, "But I guess I can't calculate how much it is without moving out."
The entire cave has been filled with food. I don’t know how deep it is in the back, and I don’t know if there is a way to go down.
"It seems we can't go any further. Let's go back and see the other side." He Yunxi said.
"good."
The four people fell back. The torches were almost burning. They went out to change the torches, and then entered the road on the right.
This road is much shorter, and there is no particularly big cave at the end, but the things inside still make He Yunxi very happy.
Because this place is nothing but boxes of money!
She glanced at Lu Yan, who didn't look happy, but instead frowned slightly.
Her blood pressure also dropped.
Get rich overnight?
Doesn't exist.
"Let's count how much silver there is here."
Song Jiang and Song He endured the shock in their hearts and went with Lu Yan to count the money here.
It took the four of them less than half an hour to finish counting, and He Yunxi found that his thoughts were a little numb.
Six hundred thousand taels!
She grabbed Lu Yan's sleeve and said, "Lu Yan, is someone trying to rebel?"
So much food, so many weapons, so much money, except for people, all the needs are met!
Who put all these things here?
The people behind this know that they have taken possession of this village. In order to keep this place, they will probably kill the Lu family, right?
No, it is not estimated that it will happen, but it will definitely happen.
No wonder Lu Yan felt a little uncomfortable after seeing the food.
Thinking of something, He Yunxi sighed deeply in his heart.
By the time He Yunxi and the others came out, the sun had already set in the west.
He Yunxi felt a little heavy. When he saw Yin Yue and Lightning guarding the entrance of the cave, he went up to touch Yin Yue's head, then picked up Lightning, whose foot was injured, and said, "Let's go back."
Lu Yan asked Song Jiang and Song He to stay here. After discovering so many things, he couldn't ignore them calmly.
On the way back, Yinyue ran in front, and He Yunxi and Lu Yan walked behind. The sunlight stretched their shadows very long.
"Lu Yan, is it okay to let them two guard him?" He Yunxi asked.
Lu Yan said calmly: "No problem."
Lu Yan said they were reliable, so she no longer doubted them. Instead, she curiously asked: "Were they also yours in the previous life?"
"Well. In my previous life, I was in poor health and had many enemies. Thanks to the protection of these two brothers, I was able to survive until later." Lu Yan said.
He Yunxi gave Lu Yan a look of pity.
She actually couldn't imagine how a person like Lu Yan spent his whole life with his family broken up and his body so weak that he might die at any time, with only the hatred in his heart to support his survival.
Lu Yan didn't only do bad things in his previous life. In that turbulent era, when he could do what he could, he helped many people. Just for revenge, he also sacrificed many people.
"I don't want to go back to the past." He Yunxi took out one hand and squeezed Lu Yan's hand, quickly let go, and continued to move forward with Lightning in his arms.
Lu Yan felt He Yunxi's concern and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Well. I don't think about the past anymore. Think about it now. What are you going to do with those things?"
"Alas." He Yunxi felt melancholy when he mentioned this, "Have you ever heard of this thing in your previous life?"
"No." Lu Yan said.
"Then these things in the past life were never exposed?" He Yunxi was a little surprised.
"No. I have never heard any news about these things in my previous life." Lu Yan said, "If so many things are exposed, it is impossible that there will be no news at all. So the most likely thing is that they have been transferred."
"Then who do you think these things belong to? These things are on the Yao family's village. Could they belong to the Yao family?"
"Food and money are okay. Rich people can collect so much. But so many weapons are not something ordinary rich people can find." Lu Yan said, "Although the Yao family has a lot of background, it is impossible to have so many.
weapons."
"Is that the Ji family behind them?"
"The Ji family did secretly raise an army in their previous life, but it probably has nothing to do with this." Lu Yan said, "There are two people who are more likely."
"who?"
"The wise king and the respectful king."
"Prince Xian and Prince Gong?"
"Both Prince Xian and Prince Gong were brothers of the emperor. Both of them were loved by the late emperor. After his death, the late emperor left an edict that divided Jiangnan and Jiangbei into their fiefdoms. When the emperor ascended the throne, there were also
People proposed to eradicate the weeds, but the emperor was kind and did not want to harm the brothers, so he allowed the two of them to return to their fiefdom. And here we are, with Prince Gong in the north and Prince Xian in the south, and it is not too far from the capital."
"In the previous life, these two princes were restless, right?" He Yunxi said, "If it is really one of them, doesn't it mean that in addition to taking refuge with Concubine Ji's family, the Yao family also secretly colluded with any prince?"
