Chapter 2

2.8 Treasure in hand, follow-up plan

"Brother Xu, are you talking about here?" In front of a large cave, Shi Xiangyun pointed to the entrance and said excitedly.

"It should be." Wei Xu looked around at the surrounding environment and nodded solemnly.

Just opposite the entrance of the cave, there is a cliff with a height of hundreds of meters. On the top of the cliff is a huge rock in the shape of an eagle's head. The eagle's beak is facing the entrance of the cave.

There is no doubt that this is the location of the treasure.

"Brother Xu, what about them?" Shi Xiangyun gestured with his eyes to the three people dressed as ginseng collectors who were not far behind.

"Although it has been exposed, the exposed surface should be reduced as much as possible." Wei Xu smiled, his expression was clear and he walked back very normally, but this time he did not let Shi Xiangyun follow.

The three stalking guests of Yubi Mountain Villa didn't take it seriously. They were ordered to follow the two children, because they were of high birth, and they wanted to protect them at close range for fear of accidents on their own land.

As for Wei Xu's sudden turning back, it's been many times these days. Maybe it's something that I haven't enjoyed watching, so I'll take a look again when I come back?
who cares?
Unexpectedly, when Wei Xu passed by them, he shot suddenly, and there was an extra short halberd in his hand. At the same time, his right hand pierced through the heart of a dealer for the first time, and at the same time, he punched another dealer's head with his left hand. He fell down without saying a word, seeing the bleeding from the seven orifices, he feared that he would not survive.

By the time the last banker reacted, a cold spear blade had already appeared on his shoulder, and combined with the chisel blade, it happened to jam his neck.

"Du Ximeng asked you to come?" Wei Xu asked with a smile.

"Young hero, spare your life, we were sent by Zhuangzhu to protect you?" The Zhuangke couldn't figure out why Wei Xu had an extra short halberd in his hand, but it didn't prevent him from begging for mercy on his knees.

"That's what Du Ximeng told you? That saved a lot of trouble." Wei Xu smiled, and swiped the horizontal blade smoothly, killing the farmer, "This hypocrite will never trust anyone."

"Brother Xu, in this way, we can easily enter the treasure, but I don't know if there is a mechanism inside." For more than a year, Shi Xiangyun followed Wei Xu and was used to fighting, so that he ignored the corpse at a young age.

"Don't worry, the mechanism doesn't matter here." Wei Xu smiled, remembering the final fight described in detail in the original book, but did not mention any mechanism.

Presumably, Li Zicheng sent people to bring the treasures back then, but this was the lair of the Qing Dynasty, and it was impossible to start large-scale construction, so he found a suitable cave and deposited the treasures.

Anyway, for things like treasures, the most difficult thing is never the mechanism inside, but how to find the exact location.

Even if there is an agency, the big deal is violent demolition. Anyway, once it is discovered, it will definitely not be saved. The difference is nothing more than a matter of time.

"Then let's go." Shi Xiangyun immediately turned his head and ran to the entrance of the cave, but was grabbed by Wei Xu.

"Stupid girl, I just heard that there is no mechanism, but that doesn't mean there really isn't one." Wei Xu angrily gave her a chestnut, "Get behind me."

"Thank you Brother Xu." Shi Xiangyun hugged Wei Xu's thigh and said sweetly, "I just don't know, can we take them all away?"

"Don't worry!" Wei Xu shook the jade pendant in his hand. After living together for more than a year, it is definitely impossible to hide it from the people around him. "There won't be too many things here, and they should all be high-value small items."

Back then, Li Zicheng fought against the Manchus in a decisive battle, but he was defeated and fled, and it became more and more hopeless step by step.At this time, it is definitely impossible to arrange a large-scale transportation for manpower to hide the treasure.

What's more, they adopted the strategy of "black under the lights" at that time, transporting treasures to the enemy's lair to hide.

A more reliable way is to have people carry all kinds of valuables that are not too large but of high value, so as to avoid the detection of the Qing Dynasty, and this is indeed the case.

After the two entered the treasure chest, Wei Xu lit a torch, and soon found that there was no mechanism here, it was just a huge cave, and it was extremely cold for some reason.

Now it is clearly spring outside, everything is revived, and the earth turns green, but there is a section not far from the entrance of the cave, which is actually covered with ice and snow.

"Brother Xu, look at them!" Shi Xiangyun suddenly pointed to a pair of "ice sculptures" and shouted.

But they were two real people. It's a pity that you stabbed me and I stabbed you and died together. It's just because of the abnormal cold here that the two corpses have been preserved to this day. "Don't worry about it, it's just two poor people. They found the treasure, but they couldn't get out because of the greed in their hearts." Wei Xu really forgot the identities of the two, but he was not interested in it.

"Brother Xu, look here!" Shi Xiangyun excitedly jumped over the two corpses and shouted, pointing at the treasure piled up in front of him.

But seeing the scene in front of him, no matter who saw it, his blood would surge up and his breathing would become thicker.

I saw a pile of gold ingots covering an area of ​​more than ten square meters, which should be more than half a person's height, shining golden light under the torchlight, but there is not much silver.

Not to mention, on the surface of the pile of gold ingots, there is a dense layer of various gemstones or precious treasures, such as pearls, coral, jasper, agate, emerald, etc., which are piled up there without protection.

"There is a lot of snow in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron." Shi Xiangyun murmured, "I'm afraid the Xue family is rich, so they don't have such power?"

"I'm afraid it's enough." Wei Xu smiled, of course he knew that Xue Baochai's father had just died not long ago, and the foundation must still be there, but it would be useless in the future.

"Brother Xu, these." Shi Xiangyun blushed equally excitedly, "So many treasures, are you sure you can hold them?"

"Don't worry." As the saying goes, "nights are long and dreams are many", Wei Xu didn't mean to talk nonsense, he climbed directly to the pile of gold ingots, and gently put the jade pendant on it.

Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, these gold ingots or treasures quickly disappeared.Wei Xu kept moving the jade pendant, taking back the treasure wherever he swept it, but it took nearly a quarter of an hour to collect it.

"It's all finished?" Shi Xiangyun watched excitedly as Wei Xu cleaned up. After scanning for a while, he found some remnants on the ground, and immediately ran over to pick them up one by one.

"Okay silly girl, we now have more than 300 million taels of gold, you still care about such a small matter!" Wei Xu hugged her angrily, turned around and strode out of the cave.

Fortunately, the three guests of Yubi Villa have just been killed. This place is also deep in the mountains, and there is no one else around.

Wei Xu didn't talk nonsense, he kicked the corpses one by one into the woods beside the path, and then ran towards the direction he came from without looking back, and even hugged Shi Xiangyun the whole way for the sake of speed.

At that time, Li Zicheng swept across the world with hundreds of thousands of peasant troops and gathered a huge amount of treasure; he broke through the capital and tortured hundreds of officials, and it is said that his income exceeded 7000 million taels.

There is no way to verify the exact figures, but with his subsequent defeat and the consumption of the army, most of the remaining funds must be here.

Today is the late Qianlong period, and the price of gold and silver is roughly fourteen. These gold ingots are not counted as other treasures, and when converted into silver, they are only more than 4000 million taels, far inferior to Li Zicheng's wealth at his peak.

The problem is that the "not much" here is relative to a country. If it falls on one person, it is not a lot of problems, but too much.

The assets of each of the eight major salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were only about [-] million taels, and they were collected and accumulated for several generations, and they were not cash, but all property.

Wei Xu's current wealth can no longer be described as "wealthy and invincible"!Because whether it is the Dashun Dynasty in the world of "Red Mansions" or the Manchu Dynasty in the world of "Flying Fox", the cash in the treasury will never exceed tens of millions!

Therefore, even though he has always boasted that he is used to the world and has such a large amount of wealth on his body, Wei Xu still blushes with excitement, and so does Shi Xiangyun.

Even after the two of them went down the mountain and galloped all the way back to the inn, they still couldn't slow down in the room for a long time. It was really exciting.

"Brother Xu, shall we go back now?" Shi Xiangyun didn't even notice that her voice was trembling.

"No, our strength is not enough, at least we should improve it." Fortunately, Wei Xu still has some basic sense, "We are not strong enough to keep so much wealth.

I plan to buy a large number of high-grade medicinal materials and go back after accumulating enough cultivation resources, so that I can continue to practice at home, but we can't buy too much at once. My plan is to take it slowly, and we can stay here for at least two years ,Not in a hurry. "

"Brother Xu, I listen to you!" Shi Xiangyun nodded vigorously.
