Chapter 130: Moving gold and silver, Li Shimin's attack on Xue Ju in the west, Li Jiancheng
Chapter 130: Moving gold and silver, Li Shimin's attack on Xue Ju in the west, Li Jiancheng's suspicion, leaving Chang'an
Tianxiang Inn.
Ten miles away.
There were more than 30 people sitting in a large courtyard with two entrances. One of them was a burly man with messy yellow hair and hands like palm-leaf fans. He looked at a thin and imposing old man beside him and asked, "Old Wei, the marshal arrived in Chang'an yesterday, right? Why hasn't he come yet? To be honest, I still want to go into battle and kill the enemy!"
Deng Baifang is an impatient person.
He has been in Chang'an for eight days.
He brought people to buy this large yard near Yong'an Canal. He stayed here for eight days with nothing to do and felt uncomfortable all over. He still missed the days when he went out to kill in Yangzhou.
"Don't worry, since the Marshal asked us to wait here, he must have made some arrangements."
Wei Yixin has a determined look in his eyes and is a relatively calm person, which is why Qin Shuang arranged for him to come with Deng Baifang.
"Brothers, are you impatient?"
At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the yard. One of them was tall and about thirty years old. He tore off an exquisite mask from his face, revealing a handsome face!
It was Qin Shuang, the Marshal of the Tianqin Army!
"I am your subordinate!"
"Ginseng!"
Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin, Feng Ping, Guan Yun, Lin Shengyu and the other 36 people all clasped their fists respectfully when they saw this. Qin Shuang waved his hands and said, "No need to be polite, this is not Yangzhou, you can just call me Master for now."
After Qin Shuang finished speaking, he looked at Wei Yixin and asked, "Old Wei, are the boats for the waterway ready?"
Mr. Wei is more calm.
Qin Shuang handed over the matter of the big ship to him.
"Sir, we are ready. There are three large ships in total."
Wei Yixin respectfully clasped his fists and reported.
"Ah."
Qin Shuang nodded. Three large ships might not be able to hold so much gold and jewelry, but they could leave in two groups.
Qin Shuang had long known that there was a waterway in Yong'an Canal where Yang Gong's treasure house was located, so he asked Deng Baifang and others to buy a large courtyard there as a hiding place to facilitate the transportation of gold and silver.
"Everyone, take a rest first, gather your strength, and act at night!"
Qin Shuang gave instructions to Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin and others, and planned to act at night. They should first move all the things to the vicinity of the exit of Yong'an Canal for storage, because the gold and silver in the treasury could not be moved in one night by more than 30 people.
A minimum of three nights is required.
and.
At the exit of the secret passage leading to the water channel of the treasury, there was actually a space paved with blue bricks and measuring more than 20 feet in size, which was just enough to store all the gold in the gold and silver vault.
"Yes!"
Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin and more than 30 other people all bowed their heads in agreement and returned to the side rooms in the courtyard to rest.
Qin Shuang and Shan Wanjing came to the room specially reserved for him by Deng Baifang and others and went to sleep.
The room is fully equipped with bedding, all brand new.
Eight o'clock at night.
There was no one near the Yong'an Canal, but a few wooden boats were moored a few miles away.
After everyone had rested and gathered their strength, they followed Qin Shuang and headed straight to the eighteenth willow tree at the western section of Yong'an Canal, about three miles away from the courtyard.
The willow tree was about three meters tall, with branches covering the ground like silk ribbons. Qin Shuang brought Shan Wanjing, Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin and 37 other people, wearing water jackets, to the willow tree and whispered, "Go in from here."
After Qin Shuang finished speaking, he was the first to go into the water. Seeing this, Shan Wanjing and everyone else followed suit.
The secret passage from the treasury to the canal is built entirely of blue bricks. It is about ten feet high and ten feet wide. The water level inside is waist-deep. Everyone needs to wade in the water. After walking ten feet, there is a slope upwards, which is a blue brick tunnel that is seven feet wide and ten feet high.
"Ah? Brother Shuang, you came here last night?"
Shan Wanjing was very curious when she saw the underground passage. Qin Shuang came here mysteriously, just saying that he was looking for treasure. What treasure was it?
Hearing what Shan Wanjing said.
Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin, Feng Ping, Guan Yun, Lin Shengyu and others all looked at Qin Shuang curiously. They didn't ask, but that didn't mean they weren't curious. They were also very curious about what the marshal was looking for by bringing them here.
"good."
Qin Shuang nodded and said, "Brothers, I won't hide it from you now. This is Yang Gong's treasury. What we need to do is to move all the gold, silver and jewelry in Yang Gong's treasury to the '█' space at the exit of Yong'an Channel, and then load it onto a ship and ship it back to Yangzhou."
Arriving here, Qin Shuang felt that he should tell everyone the purpose of this trip.
"What? Yang Gong's treasure house? Marshal, you actually found Yang Gong's treasure house?"
"The Marshal actually found the location of Yang Gong's treasure trove?"
"The Marshal actually found Yang Gong's treasure house? Isn't this amazing?"
"."
When Shan Wanjing, Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin and others heard Qin Shuang's words, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Yang Gong's treasury.
Who in the world doesn’t know this? Who doesn’t know this?
It was built by Yang Su back then. It is said that it contains countless gold, silver, treasures, and weapons. There are even rumors that whoever gets Yang Gong’s treasure house can get the world!
They didn't expect it.
The Marshal actually found Yang Gong’s treasure house!
"Let's go, we can follow this place straight to the treasure house!"
Qin Shuang waved his hand and walked forward immediately.
Shan Wanjing, Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin and the others were all looking forward to it and followed Qin Shuang excitedly. You know, Yang Gong's treasury is famous all over the world. It is a great honor for them to be chosen by the marshal and enter the treasury to transport the treasures!
Everyone walked along the tunnel.
Not long after.
They arrived at one of the four vaults of Yang Gong's treasury. Qin Shuang stepped forward, pressed the button to open it, and was the first to enter the gold and silver vault.
There are obviously ventilation holes inside the treasure house.
At Qin Shuang's command, everyone lit eight torches, and everything in the treasure house came into everyone's sight.
"Wow! It really is Yang Gong's treasure house! There are so many gold and silver treasures!"
"With so much gold and jewelry, it's enough for our Tianqin Army to dominate the world!"
"I have never seen so much gold and silver in my life!"
"."
Seeing the neatly stacked gold and silver ingots in large boxes in the space of more than 20 meters in front of them, Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin, Feng Ping, Guan Yun, Lin Shengyu and more than 30 others were all shocked and dazzled.
"Come on, everyone. Here are some weapons. Pick one you like."
Qin Shuang opened a small treasure house next door and said to Deng Baifang and others. There were eight boxes in this small room, five of which were full of various weapons. No matter a sword or a shield, they were all famous. They were all the magical weapons of past dynasties collected by Yang Su. Any one of them would be a rare treasure that martial artists dream of.
Qin Shuang took out two of Lu Miaozi's exquisite masks and gave the others to Deng Baifang and his many subordinates.
"Wow! Great, I like this sword!"
"This knife is tailor-made for me!"
“I really like these two axes!”
"."
Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin and thirty-six other people, when they heard that they could each get a magical weapon of their choice, all cheered and jumped for joy, and were ecstatic and couldn't let go of it.
"General Deng, General Wei, you lead everyone to move the boxes of gold and silver to the space at the exit of Yong'an Canal for storage. When the time comes, the wealth will be transported back to Yangzhou by water!"
After everyone had chosen their magic weapons, Qin Shuang slowly spoke.
"Yes!"
"As ordered!"
"."
Everyone got their beloved magic weapons, responded enthusiastically, and started moving the gold and silver.
Chang'an City.
Jinluan Palace.
Li Yuan, wearing the imperial robe, sat high on the dragon throne.
Below were the civil and military officials. A young man with extraordinary aura knelt respectfully in the hall and said loudly, "Your son pays homage to the emperor!"
"Shimin, please stand up!"
Li Yuan looked at his second son Li Shimin standing up and said with a complicated expression, "Western Qin raised troops to attack us, and our Tang Dynasty lost three cities in a row. I order you to lead the troops to attack the Western Qin army in the west. Are you willing to go?"
"Your son is willing to go!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately prostrated himself on the ground respectfully.
If he could command troops, he would naturally be willing to do so.
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and waved his hand, saying, "Go!"
Li Shimin knelt respectfully in front of the hall, took three steps back and turned to leave.
"Shimin, I hope you can understand your father's painstaking efforts, ah!"
Li Yuan looked at the figure of his second son, Li Shimin, and sighed inwardly.
He had also heard about the discussions in the court recently.
However, he always believed that people should follow ancient teachings and respect ancestral laws and regulations, otherwise, there would be chaos in the order!
In this way, many problems can be avoided.
However, Western Qin invaded with great momentum, so he had no choice but to let his second son, Shimin, lead the expedition to the west again.
Tiance Mansion.
Li Shimin, dressed in black armor, sat upright on a high seat, and below him were Pang Yu, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others from the Tian Ce Palace.
"Your Highness, let's go to Xiqin, then...Princess..."
Du Ruhui stepped forward and asked.
"The princess was rescued by someone sent by her father!"
Li Shimin spoke in a deep voice, but he sighed in his heart.
He also wanted to go to rescue them himself, but this was his only chance to lead the troops. If he didn't grasp it well, his situation would be dire in the future!
He must wipe out Xue Ju!
As for Xiuning, Li Mi had a request, and until he achieved his goal, Xiuning's life was not in danger.
Chang'an, the prince's residence.
The numerous palaces and magnificent splendor are not enough to describe the grandeur of the Prince's Mansion.
In the main hall in the middle.
A tall man with a profound aura stood in the hall with his hands behind his back.
In front of him, an old man in blue clothes reported respectfully, "Your Highness, last night, there was a slight muffled sound from the ground near Xiji Garden where the Dugu clan lived."
"General Wei, have you found anything nearby?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up and he asked.
The night before yesterday.
The Si Tian Tai observed that there were rumbling sounds coming from the ground near Xiji Garden of the Dugu clan in Chang'an, so they asked Pei Yu of the Si Tian Tai to lead people to investigate in detail, because according to his verification from various sources, Yang Su lived in Chang'an for a long time at that time!
It is widely rumored that the Yang Gong Treasure House built by Yang Su is most likely in Guanzhong.
And Guanzhong and Chang'an are most likely the locations of Yang Gong's treasure house!
"Not yet. General Wei and the Changlin Army are still searching."
Pei Yu clasped his fists respectfully.
"Continue the investigation and have General Wei send more personnel to expand the scope!"
Li Jiancheng spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Pei Yu turned and left.
Qin Shuang, along with Deng Baifang, Wei Yixin, Shan Wanjing and others, worked underground for three days and finally moved all the gold and silver from one of the four warehouses out and piled them in a '█'-shaped tunnel space near the Yong'an Canal.
Simultaneously.
Qin Shuang controlled the mechanism and sealed off all of Yang Gong's treasure houses, leaving only a fake one.
It was four o'clock in the morning of the third day, in the darkness.
Four large ships loaded with gold and silver set sail along the Yong'an Canal, away from Chang'an City.
Qin Shuang stood on the deck of the last ship with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. At this moment, a thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the distant canal bank!
Qin Shuang saw it.
Dozens of riders were galloping towards him!
