Tomb Raiders

Chapter 29

Chu Yu sat down next to Chu Yuyang with a golden knife, without any tenderness of a daughter, and said with a smile: "Wait in a hurry?" She turned her eyes and turned to Shen Liaobai with a smile on her face. body, moved to one side, and said, "Liao Bai, sit here."

Chu Yuyang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "It's only a short time, are you so familiar with it?"

Chu Yu asked Shen Liaobai to sit beside her, and while pouring water for him, he said, "That's natural, aren't you happy? I think you should be very happy, otherwise in the future, who will replace you with your father?" say?"

These words were meant as a joke, but the rare gentle and relaxed expression on Chu Yuyang's face disappeared. He was silent for a moment, and said: "Sister, father hasn't been found yet...I'm afraid I have to go out again in two days."

Chu Yu didn't mean to blame, she patted Chu Yuyang's hand, and said softly: "I know you have tried your best, and I am relieved to be sure that my father's life is safe, but you, yourself Be careful."

Chu Yuyang nodded, and Chu Yu looked at Shen Liaobai again, and said, "Liaobai is going too, I heard from Dalang that your brother is also missing."

Shen Liaobai was a little confused by their conversation just now, so he asked in doubt: "Where are you going?"

Chu Yuyang said helplessly, "It's the tomb of the king of Nanyue that I mentioned to you last night."

Shen Liaobai was stunned, and frowned slightly: "You haven't told me in detail, what is going on with this king's tomb?"

Chu Yuyang was about to speak when the doctor outside raised his voice, "Guest officer, three bowls of white jade wontons!"

He stopped talking and let the doctor come in first.

As soon as the doctor came in, a seductive fragrance diffused in the small cubicle. Shen Liaobai suddenly felt hungry. He hadn't eaten anything all morning, and now he couldn't care less about being gentle. Without etiquette, he stared eagerly at the three large celadon bowls on the doctor's tray.

The doctor put the bowl in front of the three of them, conveniently fell to the ground and backed out.

Chu Yu took the blue spoon that matched the bowl, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about it later, I see that Liao Bai is really hungry, eat first, and then you can talk well." .”

Shen Liaobai also picked up the spoon, this white jade wonton is true to its name, it is not big in size, but its color is pure white, it floats in the clear soup, and it is even more attractive with a little chopped green onion.

He took a bite, the skin was soft and thin, and the inside was wild asparagus fish meat. When he bit it off, it was still snow-white. It looked especially delicate. Shen Liaobai slowed down unconsciously. After eating, he let out a breath slowly. Come on, put down the spoon.

Chu Yuyang had already finished eating, and was talking to Chu Yu in a low voice, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Shen Liaobai pushing the bowl away, and called the doctor to come in to tidy up and refill the water.

Chu Yu stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Then I'll go back first, even if I'm wearing a mustache, it's not good to stay outside for too long, otherwise my family may be worried, Da Lang will take good care of me these two days. Follow Liaobai to stroll around the capital, there are many novelties in the West Market and East Market, don't be bored at home all day long."

Seeing that Chu Yuyang agreed, Chu Yu asked a few more words and went out. Chu Yuyang looked out the window and whistled. Laifu, who was combing the feathers on the flower stand, spread his wings and flew out of the window. When I went out, I thought I followed Chu Yu.

"The Nanyue Kingdom that my uncle mentioned yesterday, I found some clues in the past two days. Elder sister usually likes essays and gossip. In the small building where you read books in the mansion, half of them are collected by her. Yes, there are a few recipients who are already familiar with the Chu Mansion, and even my elder sister has been married for several years, and she sent the books to the Chu Mansion according to the old rules."

Chu Yuyang leaned against the window, with a relaxed posture, while filling Shen Liaobai with water, he said, "I was away a few days ago, and the people in the mansion took all the books first. I had some free time the day before yesterday, so I went to check them out. Some books are not suitable for keeping, I will send someone back, but in these books, I saw my father's handwriting."

Hearing this, Shen Liaobai couldn't help frowning, and said: "In Xie Wulang's house, there is also a fragment of the Taiping Sutra, which also has Yingqing's handwriting on it, probably Yingqing left it there on purpose. Is it the same for your father?"

Chu Yuyang shook his head and said: "This is probably not what my father did on purpose. I have never seen this book at home, and I asked the collector. He bought this book from a traveler. I bought it from a merchant, and the traveling merchant is no longer in Chang’an, I searched and managed to find out that the traveling merchant probably came from Lingnan.”

"Lingnan... Nanyue..." Shen Liaobai murmured.

Chu Yuyang took out a silk-wrapped booklet from his arms, put it on the tea table, and signaled Shen Liaobai to open it.

Shen Liaobai carefully unwrapped the silk cloth, only to see that inside was a dilapidated and yellowed book, the words on the cover were somewhat blurred, but the words "Nan Yue Zhi" could still be vaguely recognized.

"Nanyue Zhi... But based on this alone, we can't be sure that they went to the Nanyue King's Tomb again?" Shen Liaobai frowned.

Chu Yuyang turned the pages of the book. He seemed to have read it several times. He quickly turned to the page he wanted. On the brittle page, there was a topographical map of mountains and rivers, with small words on the side. : "Yuexiu Mountain"

And on the map, there are some other markings added by others. One is very obvious. On the shady side of the mountain, there is a small arrow with the word "Mountain Tomb" scrawled on it.

"This is my father's handwriting. It doesn't matter whether Zhao Tuo's tomb is here or not, but they will definitely be found there." Chu Yuyang said firmly.

Shen Liaobai took the book and looked at it carefully for a while. After a while, he raised his eyes and said, "Qianyang, this mountain is the one depicted in the last mural in Zhang Jiao's tomb."

Chu Yuyang's expression remained unchanged. Although he hadn't looked at the mural carefully, he could still see that the mountain and water flow on the mural had many similarities with those depicted in this book. There are countless connections, which is why I am sure that even if they cannot be found there, there must be clues left by them."

Shen Liaobai flipped through the pages of the book again, and briefly marked some places that described the dangers of South Vietnam, such as poisonous insects, miasma, beasts and birds. Other than that, there is nothing else worth noting in this book .

He carefully rewrapped the book and asked, "When will we be on the road?"

Chu Yuyang said: "I still need to find some materials and prepare some equipment. You should also be ready. We will set off in five days at the latest."

Shen Liaobai thought of something and asked, "Are we still together with Wenhao and Hanzhang this time? But Hanzhang's injury..."

Chu Yuyang frowned, and said: "I also asked Hanzhang to recuperate, but he heard that he was going to enter Lingnan this time, so he insisted on following him. I saw that his injury is already recovering, so he should be fine."

He paused, and then said: "This trip to Lingnan is more difficult and dangerous than the trip to Zhangjiao's tomb, so I invited a person to go with us. He is not in Chang'an right now, and he will come back after two days. Then introduce him to you."

Shen Liaobai was a little curious when he heard the words, because Chu Yuyang was always indifferent and a little arrogant, but there was a little respect in the words just now, he couldn't help asking: "What kind of person is he? "

Chu Yuyang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You will know when we meet."

Two days later, Shen Liaobai saw the man.

"He is Qin Zhaonan." Chu Yuyang introduced, concise and clear, obviously unwilling to say anything more.

Standing beside Chu Yuyang, Shen Liaobai saw that the person in front of him was wearing a moon-white robe and holding a gold-painted folding fan in his hand. On the contrary, Shen Liaobai fell in love with him at the first sight.

Qin Zhaonan shook his folding fan, looked at Shen Liaobai with great interest, and said to Chu Yuyang with a smile: "I didn't expect that you would kidnap such a handsome man after not seeing you for a month. When Mr. Xiao Lang comes back, are you willing to take this jade carving person into such a dangerous place?"

Qin Zhaonan's words immediately made Shen Liaobai blush in embarrassment, and all the good feelings he had for Qin Zhaonan disappeared immediately, and he felt that this person had such a good skin, why did he speak so frivolously.

Chu Yuyang frowned, and said: "I told you earlier that you should be careful in your words and deeds. If you weren't always like this, there wouldn't be such a big disturbance at that time."

When Qin Zhaonan heard the words, the smile on his face was still there, but the smile in Taohua's eyes immediately disappeared, "It's over, that's all, don't mention such things in front of Qing Qi and me."

Chu Qianyang said: "Does Qing Qi know where you are going this time?"

Qin Zhaonan said: "I've already said, he knew that he was going with you, so he was relieved a lot. But you didn't say why you want to take a layman with you?"

Shen Liaobai took the lead and said: "You don't need to ask him, in fact, I also have family members involved this time, so I must go with you."

Qin Zhaonan looked at him disapprovingly, and said: "Everywhere in the tomb is dangerous. If you trust Mr. Chu, wouldn't it be better to entrust this matter to us? It also saves your family from worrying."

Before Shen Liaobai could reply in the future, Chu Yuyang interrupted him, and said coldly: "I invited you this time, and I am the leader. I can decide who I want to bring, not to mention, he may not be the leader. Not as useful as you think."

Chu Yuyang said it bluntly, and Qin Zhaonan couldn't object anymore, so he sighed and sighed without thinking: "Oh, love is a mistake..."

Hearing the words, Chu Yuyang immediately said to the servant girl who was serving at the side: "There is no need to bring tea up, see off the guests."

Qin Zhaonan hurriedly said "Hey" a few times, "Mr. Chu really can't joke, well, you don't need to chase me away, I'll go back first, and if you have anything to do, you can let your bird deliver the letter."

After saying goodbye to Shen Liaobai, he left.
