There are many treasures in this country

Xiao Suo thinks that a man who is as handsome as he is born is already extremely handsome. If he is too deep, he will be too flamboyant, if he is too shallow, he will be too plain, if he is too thick, he will be flattering.

Mei Qi loses in Yan, Ruan Tong loses in Mei, herself loses in Su, and the person in front of her probably loses in Tan.His brows and eyes are hazy like smoke, separated by a layer of mist, like a line drawn on an ink landscape, his cheeks are slightly sunken, like the color of the broad-flowered indigo.

His pupils are light brown, his thin lips are a light apricot color, his skin is not as white as his own, and his eyebrows are not as emerald as his own, but his charm is indifferent and washed, which is unmatched by him.

"Young Master Xiao," he stretched out his hand, which was exceptionally moist from being soaked in tea all the year round, and bowed to himself, "I'm Lu Yu, I'm taking the liberty to meet you, sir, please don't blame me."

His voice is also calm and slow, which does not have a calming effect.Xiao Suo was stunned, then recovered his senses and said: "What did Lu Zhuangyuan say? The students are very grateful for your care. I should have gone to the house to pay a visit, but I just suffer from mundane affairs and have no time to spare. With a humble body, I dare not enter the elegant hall, please forgive me Lu Zhuangyuan."

While leading him into the inner room, Lu Yu said, "Young Master Xiao, don't belittle yourself. If you are a lowly person, we are not worthy of living. I invite you to come here today, because I have a few words to say to you."

Xiao Suo and Babao walked to the corridor, shook their umbrellas, and entered the house.There is a straw mat on the ground in the inner room, a small table in front of it, and a small stove next to it, with boiling water sitting on top of the red coals.

Lu Yu sat on the ground, ironed the tea set himself, and began to brew tea meticulously and skillfully.Xiao Suo knew that he was the No. [-] Tea Scholar, and this was probably his way of entertaining guests, so he didn't talk too much, just silently followed his instructions and sat down.

Seeing this, Babao closed the door and retreated under the eaves of the corridor.Lu Yu glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and asked with a smile, "Young Master Xiao's book boy is very winking, he must not be a child of an ordinary family, right?"

You can't tell the truth, and you can't tell lies.Xiao Suo suddenly became embarrassed, smiled and did not answer.Lu Yu handed over the Wenxiang cup, and just as the tip of his nose was about to take a breath, he suddenly said, "General Shen is the most accurate at seeing people, and his eye for picking people is the same as always."

Xiao Suo didn't come up at a stretch, his face flushed from holding back, and he didn't know whether he was talking about himself or Babao.If you are talking about yourself, then you are comparing yourself with the people around Shen Yan in the past, and feel that the difference is not much different; if you are talking about Babao, he has already discovered the secret reconciliation between himself and Shen Yan, which will cause even more trouble .

After thinking about it, just now that fairy-like servant-like figure revealed that there are guards around him, it can be seen that the other party has already known that Eleven is by his side. Now that he knows this level, he can naturally guess what Eleven is. They were sent by Shen Yan, in other words - they knew about their private relationship with Shen Yan.

Lu Yu may have sensed his thoughts, and said with a slight smile, "Young Master Xiao is paranoid, I just know about the matter between you and General Shen, nothing else. You have nothing to do with the people who accompanied General Shen before." The resemblance."

There is no similarity, does he mean that Shen Yan wants to be himself, just to make something new?

No, as Shen Yan said, as long as you are alone, no one else is good enough.

Xiao Suo couldn't help pursing his lips, and asked him bluntly: "Since Lu Zhuangyuan already knows about my relationship with the general, do you want to tell others?"

"I already know about this matter, if I want to tell you, why wait until now?" He suddenly paused, "It's just that I really want to ask you to help me with something, I wonder if this matter can be exchanged for my trust?"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Suo asked without answering.

Lu Yu hooked the corner of his mouth: "It's a trivial matter, I just need Mr. Xiao to help me add a few condiments to General Shen's diet."

Shen Yan came out of the palace and went to Fuzhou Mountain without stopping.Yesterday the brigade stood guard here in the rain until midnight, and one after another the corpses were carried out, as if there were some man-eating monsters hiding under the water.

He didn't go to the water pool today, but led people along the stone road in the forest to the ice room.This time Shen Yan came prepared, no longer like yesterday, he and Xiao Suo aimlessly checked.

Shen Yan led the people to the largest room at the end, and ordered them to lift away the stacked ice cubes at the base of the wall, knocked on the hollow stone bricks, and turned around to order the deputy general Liao Hui: "Take a few people to get it. It's a guy's business, remove the blue bricks on the ground floor."

He walked outside the gate and told everyone in a loud voice: "Hurry up, everyone, the Holy Majesty's Luanjia is leaving at this time, and it will be here before the first quarter of noon. We must open this place before the Shengjia arrives." He opened the locks of several ice storages next to him and ordered everyone to go in to move ice.

This ice store was expanded during the reign of the late emperor, less than twenty years ago, so it has been repaired luxuriously and the place is very large, and now it is late autumn, and the stock of ice bricks has been consumed in summer, and there are only a few left.The sergeants moved the ice bricks to the front rooms, and there was more than enough space.

After all the ice was removed, Shen Yan tapped the ground again with the handle of the knife, and everyone followed suit, and within a moment they had found all the hollow places through their voices.

There are many engineers and soldiers in the army, and it is easy to build fortifications, let alone the trivial matter of prying a few bricks.Before he had time for a meal, Liao Hui ran to the Ling room on the left and called Shen Yan: "General, the bricks in the Ling room of the Tianzi Hall have been pried open."

"'Tian' name?" Shen Yan didn't know that this bank still had a name.

"Yes." Liao Hui nodded: "There are a total of eight Ling rooms here, and they are arranged in the order of 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, Universe Great Desolation'. The largest room just now is Tianzizi, and this one is Dizizizi."

Shen Yan patted him with a smile: "You are quite powerful, you even know this. The general has been here several times, and I haven't seen any name!"

Liao Hui took the torch from the guard, held it up to the top of the gate and smoked it for a while, and said, "Please look, general, the words are engraved here, but because the room is too cold and frozen by the cold air, I can't see them. Besides, there are dark lights here. , even less noticeable."

Shen Yan looked up, and saw a large gilded character, shining brightly under the firelight, but it was twisted and twisted, and he didn't know what it meant: "What kind of character is this?

Liao Hui said with a smile: "This is a seal character. No wonder the general doesn't recognize it. It says 'land'."

"You know it!" Shen Yan curled her lips, "The word is frozen in ice, and no one has seen it. How did you see it?"

Liao Hui cupped his hands and said, "The last general's father used to work in the Ministry of Industry, and he also participated in the expansion of the ice storage."

"So that's the case." Shen Yan looked at the word again, "It's not surprising."

Everyone surrounded Shen Yan and went back to the ice room of Tianzihao, and first smelled a strange smell.A few stone bricks the size of cabinet doors inside were piled on the ground, and the empty space was not limestone or mountains, but a puddle of dark water, which reflected sparkling waves under the light of the torch.

Shen Yan had already guessed three points, and was not as surprised as they were. He touched the big blue brick and said: "This brick is so big, I think it cost a lot of money to rebuild this ice room. I remember when the general's mansion was built, Steward Xi in the general’s mansion once said that the larger the bricks for paving the courtyard, the more expensive they are. Although the bricks here are not chiseled bricks, they are so huge, so they are not cheap, right?”

Liao Hui stepped forward and said: "The general is right. This brick is the most expensive among ordinary specifications. It really cost a lot of money to expand the ice store back then. My father still often mentions that he participated in the construction of the fortification in his life. Although there are many, but it is the most memorable to build this icehouse.”

"Why?" Shen Yan was puzzled. No matter how luxurious the ice room was, it couldn't compare to the imperial courtyard. Even if it was impressive, it wouldn't be the most unforgettable.

Liao Hui said with a smile: "The general does not know that this ice room was expanded by the late emperor himself. Every brick and wood is made of high-quality materials, and it must be reported to the higher authorities from time to time. Not only that, but because the ice room is located near the mountain The construction and Ling chambers are all in the mountainside, so it is extremely difficult to build. Although the structure is not complicated, it is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than building a garden palace. It is said that tons of gunpowder was used to open the mountain, and many people died. At that time For this, it almost aroused public resentment."

"Ah, yes." Shen Yan suddenly remembered: "As mentioned in the preface, on the street..." At this point, he suddenly fell silent.

Liao Hui lowered his voice and asked: "The general said that about the first emperor on the street..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shen Yan hurriedly scolded: "As a soldier of the imperial court, are you talking nonsense! There are some things that should not be spread nonsense, you have to remember!" He waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, hurry up! Drill down to have a look with some good water quality.”

Liao Hui promised several "yes" one after another, and took off his boots and armor with several soldiers who were proficient in water warfare, and they were about to go into the water.Shen Yan stopped and said: "Wait a minute, you first tie a rope around your waist, in case there is something wrong underwater, people on the shore will know immediately when you pull this rope."

Although he has a rough idea of ​​the underwater situation, he can't be sure after all. If there is danger, it will be difficult for people on the shore to rescue them, so he tied them with ropes, not afraid of [-], but just in case, it is always better to be prepared.

Liao Hui said nonchalantly: "No need, the general should be careful too, there are still big fishes biting people underwater!" Everyone laughed at his words.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shen Yan patted him on the head, and stuffed the rope into his hand without any explanation. "If you come by yourself, who cares if you tie it or not. Since the general brought you here, you can't afford to lose it. Hurry up and tie it up for me, any more talk will knock your teeth!"

The few people who were about to enter the water heard this, reluctantly took the rope and tied it around their waists, and got in from under the stone slab.Shen Yan still grabbed the edge of the brick and exhorted: "If there is something wrong, quickly pull the rope!"

The surface of the water was silent, and no one answered for a long time.Shen Yan sat down cross-legged on the shore, just waiting for them to come up to meet him.When I was bored, someone outside suddenly came to report.

Shen Yan handed the rope to the guard next to him, walked out of the room and asked, "What's wrong?"

The person cupped his hands and said, "General, the emperor is here!"
