Chapter 397
Shen Mu said: "I'll go back to Sha's house for a while, and we will meet at the bottom of the Yuema Bridge when you are ugly, and then you should have finished your tryst with the beauty's military advisor!"

Xu Ziling had long forgotten about Shen Luoyan's date, and said with a wry smile, "You really want to see her?"

Shen Mu said: "It doesn't matter if you entertain her or perfunctory her, women are more ruthless than men when they get angry. But you have to be careful, don't let that boy Li Shiji catch you in bed, if the evidence is convincing, even I will be ashamed .”

Xu Ziling said: "You are still in the mood to joke, alas! For some reason, although You Niaojuan's death is not a pity, I still feel guilty for his tragic death."

Shen Mu's eyes dimmed, and he said: "Xie Xianting and his sweetheart may have died at the hands of Shi Zhixuan, we are incompatible with the evil spirits of the Demon Sect. Therefore, we must strive to improve our martial arts, otherwise we will only be exploited by others. "

The carriage stopped and arrived outside the gate of the Sha family.

In fact, Shen Mu still wanted to confide in Xu Ziling, but due to the circumstances, he had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder and get out of the car helplessly.

The carriage drove Xu Ziling away quickly.

Shen Mu packed up his mood and returned to Sha Fu. Sha Fu stopped him in the corridor next to the hall, and asked with a strange expression: "Is Mo Ye going to the Qin Palace?"

Shen Mu pretended to be surprised and said, "What's the problem?"

Shafu hurriedly said: "Of course I don't have any problems, but the old man is not very happy. Doesn't Lord Mo know that the Prince's Mansion and Qin Wang's Mansion are deadly enemies?"

Shen Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I never care about such things. I'm going to reject people for thousands of miles when they are so kind. Someone is looking for me tonight."

Sha Fudao: "Both the Prince Qi's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion sent people to look for Mo Ye. The old man didn't dare to let them know that you were going to see King Qin, so he reasoned that because Mo Ye hadn't slept the night before, he went to bed early."

Shen Mu exclaimed in his heart, and said: "I'm really tired, don't let anyone disturb me after I go back to my room."

Sha Fu hurriedly said: "Master Mo, please go to see the master first, he wants to talk to you."

Shen Mu nodded, nonchalantly said: "Alright! It's time to say goodbye to the master."

Sha Fu turned pale and said, "What?"

Putting his shoulders on his shoulders, Shen Mu walked towards the inner courtyard where Sha Tiannan lived, and said: "There is always a feast in the world. Life in the capital is not suitable for me. I have been here for so long, so I should go!"

Thinking of leaving, Shen Mu felt relaxed.Because of getting along day and night after these days, he has developed feelings for the Sha family up and down.

If he can "openly withdraw" instead of being exposed and implicating the Sha family or his old friend Chang He, he will feel much more at ease.

Shen Mu returned to the room, still lingering in his ears were the words of Mr. Sha and Mrs. Sha to keep him, as well as the eyes of Fifth Miss Sha Zhijing.

Compared with his resignation, going to Prince Qin's mansion became insignificant.

He also earnestly reminded Sha Tiannan not to get involved in any vortex of political struggles. The way to protect oneself is to remain neutral as much as possible. Although it is difficult to do, it is the smartest way.

Shen Mu walked into the room spontaneously, the beauty was sleeping like a begonia on his couch.

He had already guessed that Houhou would not let him go tonight, so he sat down on the edge of the bed without any surprise, and patted her lightly without any scruples, saying: "It's dawn! My lady, get up quickly."

With a soft moan, Wan Hou turned her delicate body to the other side, gasped and whispered softly: "Don't make noise! ​​Take off your clothes and go to sleep!"

Shen Mu said in surprise: "You don't wait for me to undress, do you want me to undress for you?"

Wan Wan said angrily, "It's the first time for me, of course you will serve me."

Shen Mu whistled, stood up easily, took off his coat, threw it on the chair casually, and said with a smile: "Then you will not be polite to your husband! Don't wait for me to come up and make excuses again and again. I am so tired that I am on the verge of death." , want to send without a target!"

Wan Wan smiled coquettishly: "What nonsense, come up if you are brave enough! A kid who is strong on the outside but does nothing on the inside."

Shen Mu said: "You can say that I'm fine! What's the matter here tonight?"

Hou Hou won a complete victory, smiled "puchi", turned to him again, put his hand on his cheek, stared at him with a smile in his eyes, and wrote lightly: "If you leave, I will leave no one behind." Sha Tiannan's entire family will be killed, and no one will be left alive."

Shen Mu was amused in her heart, if she really had such a plan, she would never dare to announce it.

Shen Mu sneered and said, "Then Ziling and I will see a Yingui faction and kill one, and two will kill one pair, and see how many we can supply."

With murderous intent in both eyes, Wan Wan said in a deep voice, "Are you making it clear that you want to confront us?"

Shen Mu laughed and said, "It's just that you are overly sensitive. I still have those few words. If you believe me, don't let the prison guards stare at me. Get the holy relic. The holy relic will naturally be handed over to you."

Wan Hou softened and sighed: "I'm most afraid that Shi Zhixuan would have snatched you away before you were handed over to us."

Shen Mu said: "This is easier to solve. After we unearth the treasure, we will leave the holy relic there and let your elder sister go to receive the reward by yourself. Isn't everyone happy?"

Houhou shook his head and said, "Now there are spies everywhere in the city. It is just delusional that you want to transport the treasure out of Chang'an. How about this? I will enter the treasure house with you. After I get the holy relic, I will no longer care about your business."

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "You don't seem to understand that you can trust us now, but we can't trust you. It's useless to give us the holy relic. Okay! Let's take a step back and move the contents of the treasury to a safe place in the city. Tell you to go get the treasure. We made a high-five oath to promise that we will not break our promise. But from this moment on, you can no longer follow me like a ghost in the boots at night, like a ghost."

Wan Wan said softly: "You really don't need our help? If Shizun and I stand in front of you, even if Shi Zhixuan tries to rob you, you don't have to be afraid."

Shen Mu said: "Well said. It is because you are as scary as Shi Zhixuan, that I came up with a compromise method that has the best of both worlds. If we breach the contract, how far can we escape with so many things?"

Hou Hou said: "I can decide to agree to the young commander's proposal. The only condition is that you must tell me when and when to enter the treasure house. This is not too much to ask!"

Shen Mu nodded and said, "It's very reasonable, but I can tell you tomorrow."

Wan Hou stared at his ugly face for a long time, and suddenly a sweet and charming smile appeared on his pretty face, and said, "Wu'er suddenly felt that you hadn't lied before, because up to this moment, you, Young Marshal Kou, still don't know where the treasure house is. Is it right?"

Shen Mu's heart was awe-inspiring, not because Houhou saw through his hole cards, but why did Houhou suddenly come to this inference?
After Houhou left, Shen Mu came to Yuema Bridge.

When Xu Ziling came to Yuema Bridge, Shen Mu searched Yuema Bridge thoroughly, but still found nothing.With his eyesight and sense of touch and feeling a hundred times more sensitive than ordinary people, he can almost be sure that there is nothing mysterious about this magnificent stone bridge.

After the baptism of heavy snow, Chang'an was covered with a thick layer of snow again. Although every house was still decorated with lanterns and festoons, but in the middle of the night and after the carnival last night, this famous city in the world turned from splendor to tranquility.Occasionally, the sound of firecrackers came from the depths of the alley, but it was far less than the grand occasion of New Year's Eve.

There is no one around, and the severe cold weather makes city patrollers hide in the sentry checkpoints to be lazy.

Hiding in the shadows under the bridge, Shen Mu shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's over! Tomorrow I'll go back to the countryside to open a food stall, so that I won't have Shen Mu's share in the world."

This was what Xu Ziling wanted to hear the most.But at this moment when I really heard Shen Mu say it personally, I felt an unspeakable feeling in my heart, just like losing all the chips in my hand on a gambling table, and being miserably cast a misfortune by his opponent .

Xu Ziling took a deep breath and said, "Let's talk aside."

Shen Mu said: "Come on!"

Xu Ziling followed Shen Mu to leave the bottom of the bridge, and jumped onto the high roof tiles of Fuju Building.This is the highest point around the Yuema Bridge. Unless someone jumps up like them, they will not be noticed, and it is the safest place.

Shen Mu sat on the ridge of the roof, staring fiercely at the majestic stone bridge across the Yong'an Canal diagonally below and through the two banks, his eyes flickered in a different way, obviously very unconvinced.

Xu Ziling said: "It may be that your life is not worth dying, and finding the treasure may make you doomed."

Shen Mu asked in astonishment, "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Zi sighed inwardly, did not say Shen Luoyan's words, his eyes fell on the bridge, and said: "If the function of Yang Gong's treasury is to provide Yang Su with a large amount of property and weapons when necessary, so that he can save his life and rebel, then this After the treasure house is opened, the weapons must be easily and conveniently transported to the ground."

Shen Mu nodded and said: "That's right! If it would take three days and three nights to send the contents of the treasure house to the ground, Yang Su would have been slaughtered by Yang Jian."

Xu Ziling analyzed calmly: "Of course weapons are for use by subordinates, so the exit must be in a compound that can accommodate a large number of soldiers. If the exit is at the bottom of Yong'an Canal or Zhuque Street, it will only be a joke."

Shen Mu's eyes shone brightly, and he looked over the snow-covered tile surface, and landed on the Xiji Garden where the Dugu Clan lived in Chang'an. He nodded again and said, "There are not many courtyards that can accommodate thousands of people, although there are many near the Yuema Bridge." Among the mansions, Xiji Garden occupies the largest area and has the best conditions for Tibetan soldiers, and it is slightly larger than Wulou Temple."

At this time, the eyes of the two fell on the six pillars in the middle of the stone bridge at the same time. Only these six pillars were carved into six stone dragon heads overlooking the bridge on the top, adding infinite vitality to the stone bridge like a finishing touch.

The two exchanged glances and saw each other's inner thoughts at the same time.

Whether it is a dragon or a snake depends on these six dragon heads.

Xu Ziling was startled and said, "I thought about why Mr. Lu wanted to build a Wulou Temple!"

Shen Mu said: "It must be for ventilation. If necessary, Yang Suke and his men take refuge in the basement, and then escape through another secret passage. My mother, this place is only a few hundred meters away from the city wall, and one of the exits of the tunnel may be in the outside the city."

Xu Ziling took a deep breath, stared at the six dragon-headed pillars, and said, "How about it? Do you want to try it?"

Shen Mu smiled wryly, "I'm very scared."

Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said, "Afraid? Are you joking?"

Shen Mu sighed: "I'm really scared. I'm afraid that the wind will not move the dragon's head, and I'm afraid that when the dragon's head mechanism is activated, there will be noises and bangs from the ground in Chang'an, so that everyone in the city will know that I found Duke Yang's treasure house. .”

Xu Ziling almost laughed wildly, panting: "You are still in the mood to joke, do you want me to test it?"

Shen Mu showed a confident smile, and said: "When I checked just now, I found that the structure of the six dragon-headed pillars is different from other pillars. They are not connected as a whole, but the pillars are embedded in the hollow square pillars. Go. I was suspicious at the time, but I didn't think it was related to the mechanism, so I ignored it. Remember Master Lu's secret room in the Pegasus Ranch? After the mechanism was activated, the entire secret room sank to the ground."

Xu Ziling took another breath and said with a smile, "Brother, come on! Let's see whether to buy big and sell big, or buy big and sell small."

The two of them touched each other's shoulders, then they jumped off the roof and took advantage of the cover of night to swipe towards the Yuema Bridge.

Climbing up the stone bridge, they came to the six dragon-headed pillars. The two looked at each other, and finally Shen Mu touched one of the dragon-headed pillars with both hands.

A group of dark clouds just drifted in from the southeast, covering up the only faint moonlight.

A team of patrolmen approached from the direction of Xishi, and the two hurriedly climbed down the bridge railing and attached themselves to the bottom of the bridge.

Twelve patrolmen strode up the bridge and stopped suddenly.

One of them said: "This heavy snow has made people and birds hide in the cold, otherwise it will still be very lively tonight."

The others laughed and scolded, talking a lot, and talking about the grand ceremony in the palace last night, obviously still immersed in the high emotions of last night.

The two people at the bottom of the bridge were staring at the bottom of the pillar. Under Gongju's eyes, they could see a faint ring of connection marks between the column and the bridge body. If they hadn't checked with purpose, they would have ignored it as stone patterns. .

Under their eager anticipation, the patrol finally left.

Shen Mu said excitedly: "I found it! You do it."

Xu Ziling freed his right hand, performed his profound kung fu, pressed his thumb against the center of the circle mark, and pressed it upwards forcefully.

With a "howl", the column sank upwards, turning into a recess that was as deep as two inches.

Shen Mu said in shock: "It's a success!"

Xu Ziling said: "This kind of button lock can be opened without any knowledge of mechanisms. There should be five more locks."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Mu swam under the bridge, found the other five locks as quickly as possible, and activated them according to the script.

The two returned to the bridge.

Shen Mu held another dragon's head, trying to force it while murmuring words, and suddenly the dragon's head was pulled up nearly two inches for him.

Xu Ziling was overjoyed and said, "Successful!"

Shen Mu nervously said: "It's not done yet, should we turn left or right?"

Xu Ziling was stunned and said, "If you ask me, it won't make a difference who I'll ask?"

Shen Mu said: "How could there be no difference? If the twist is wrong, maybe the whole bridge will collapse and we will all become dogs in the water."

Xu Ziling said angrily, "Turn left!"

Shen Mu twisted to the left, but the wind on the dragon pillar did not move.

Shen Mu rejoiced and said, "It really worked this time!"

Moving power to the right, the dragon pillar obediently turned a circle, and when Shen Mu let go, the dragon pillar was seated in its original position, exactly the same as before.

Shen Mu gasped and said, "What should we do next?"

I am afraid that Xu Ziling is the only person in the world who understands his true meaning of this sentence.

Xu Ziling said, "How do you feel?"

Shen Mu recalled: "The dragon column should be something like a steel cable axle wheel, you should feel twisting and vibration."

Xu Ziling looked around and said in disbelief: "If these six faucets can indeed open a secret passage in a building hundreds of feet away, it would not only be a miracle of ingenuity, but also absolutely shocking. Mr. Lu's ability is really unpredictable. Opportunity!"

Shen Mu took a hard breath, and said: "When I twist the other five dragon pillars as before, maybe there will be a secret entrance in the Xiji Garden, isn't that a big gift for nothing? Solitary Peak."

Xu Ziling said: "If this is the case, then you, Young Marshal Kou, will be doomed to have bad luck. However, according to Mr. Lu's behavior, this kind of situation should not happen."

There is no reason why Yang Gong’s treasure house can make people win the world, but as long as you think about the time and environment when Yang Su built the treasure house, the world belongs to the Yang family, and Chang’an is the capital of the Yang family’s world. Sudden attack, there is indeed a chance to break into the palace and kill the Sui Emperor Yang Jian at that time.Yang Gong's treasure house is said to be the key to winning the world, which is most likely related to this.

Knowing everything, Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were able to find out how to open Duke Yang's treasure house when they only knew the three-character mantra of "Yuema Bridge". Applying it to the other five faucets, when it reached the last one, he let out a heavy breath and said, "I'm very nervous, can you give me some encouragement?"

Xu Ziling said: "Li Shimin has appointed Li Shiji, ready to do everything in his power to intercept your treasure-carrying soldiers."

Shen Mu lost his voice: "What? What kind of encouragement is this?"

Seeing Xu Ziling looking at him as if nothing had happened, he could only sigh: "This can be said to be another form of encouragement. Now even I believe that Li Shimin is qualified to be emperor. Those who rebel against me will perish, it is better to go home and coax the children to sleep."

Xu Ziling said: "If it is not enough, there is still a gift. Concubine Shixuan please send Ning Daoqi, so that you will never return to Pengcheng."

This incentive is obviously more powerful, Shen Mu said in shock: "Did Concubine Shi Xuan tell you personally?"

Xu Ziling sighed: "I wish she would tell me in person, but unfortunately the truth is not the case. Her public and private affairs are clearly separated, which makes one's heart chill."

Shen Mu shot a resolute and confident light in his eyes, slowly held up the faucet, and said slowly in a deep voice, "Where did the news come from?"

Xu Ziling looked at the flowing water under the stone bridge, and said softly: "It was your first love who warned you through Shen Luoyan's mouth. I hope the young commander can rein in the precipice, so as not to regret it."

Shen Mu shook his head and laughed hoarsely, and responded with action, turning the faucet slowly.

"Crack!" The faucet returned to its original position.

The entire bridge suddenly trembled slightly, and it took a long time to stop. If the two of them hadn't been fully focused, even with their spiritual sharpness, they might have ignored it.

Shen Mu looked under the bridge and said, "The shock must have come from under the river bed."

Before the words were over, strange ripples appeared on the river surface at the bottom of the bridge, indicating strange changes in the riverbed, as well as bubbles emerging and making noises.

Xu Ziling was puzzled and said, "It's impossible. We have checked the bottom of the river. If there is an entrance, how could we miss it?"

Shen Mu rejoiced and said: "The impossibility is already an iron-clad fact. Let's go and see, don't you have the slightest curiosity about the evil emperor relic?"

Xu Ziling carefully inspected the flowing water, and it seemed that there was water flowing into the underground space. He shook his head and said, "If the secret passage is opened, a large amount of water will flow into the treasury and flood the treasury. Mr. Nalu will be the biggest fool in the world."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "It makes sense, I will tell you the truth when I come back."
