Tibet

Suzaku was actually very busy these days. She wanted to stay with her master when she came back. After her senior sister Li Tengkong moved back, she went back to her hometown to be with her grandmother. Her grandmother was not in good health and she always missed her, and she missed her very much.

Originally, she had decided to return home, but in order to accompany Li Ye's mother on the treasure hunt, she postponed it for another day.

So she has been spending time with her grandmother these days and really doesn't have time to date Li Ye.

It took Li Ye three days to dismantle the utility room, clear the surface floor tiles, and then pry up the silver bricks one by one. A total of 250 pieces were put into five large wooden boxes.

Of course, he did not put the 80,000 taels of silver into the secret room, but into the storage warehouse opened by his mother in Baoji Cabinet. This wealth belonged to his parents, including his manor, and was also given to his mother. , as the wealth of their family.

The reason why he gave his wealth and farm to his mother instead of his father was actually a little hidden in Li Ye's mind. He had not forgotten that he also had an elder brother, Li Huai, even though he and his father had now severed the father-son relationship. , but who knows what will happen in the future?

What if Li Huai came back and knelt down in front of his father, crying and admitting his mistake? He was not his ex-wife who betrayed her husband, but his son whose blood was thicker than water. Would his father be so hard-hearted that he would deny it?

He didn't want half of his hard-earned wealth to be given to another son by his father.

He couldn't control whether the father recognized his son or not, but even if he was a real brother, he still had to settle the score, let alone not a real brother.

At this time, in the Taipingfang study room, with a slight 'click' sound, Li Ye finally opened the secret room door.

The first thing he had to do was to take out the things he was going to take away. The most important thing was to take a Caliphate Gem and give it to Suzaku.

After waiting for a while, the light in the room suddenly turned on, which meant that there was indeed no vent inside. There was white phosphorus on the lamp. When air entered the entrance, the lamp ignited by itself.

After waiting for a while, Li Ye entered the secret room.

The light in the secret room was dim. He took out his weapon and put the sword inside. Li Ye took out the Caliphate Gem. The gem was too precious and of course could not be carried with him. It had to be placed in the secret room.

Opening the sandalwood box, on the velvet cushion inside the box, nine gemstones shone with incomparable magnificence. The color was pure and rich, without any impurities. It was amazing and enchanting.

Li Ye took out the greenest one from it. The best emerald he had ever seen could not match its purity and beauty, and even surpassed the imperial green glass jade of later generations.

The gem weighs about thirty grams and is oval in shape, like half a cut bird egg.

He gave Yang Guifei a blue gem, and he was going to give this green one to Suzaku.

He put the gem into a small box, put it in his arms, and put the other eight gems back into the secret room.

He casually took out Quan Furong's small suitcase, and he had already given the Fish Intestine Sword inside to Suzaku. Suzaku couldn't let go of the dagger, so Li Ye naturally gave it to her. Anyway, he still had one hidden in his secret room.

Li Ye sat at the table and opened the button of the suitcase. Inside were sparkling gold bars and high-quality jewelry.

There is a silver box next to it. This is the treasure that Zhang Ping sent people to retrieve from Dachang Cabinet in Youzhou. Li Ye always thought it was some kind of wealth, but after getting it, he realized that it turned out to be the national seal of Goguryeo.

This national seal has no meaning to Li Ye, but it is of great significance to the old ministers of Goguryeo. Many of the old ministers of Goguryeo have spent their entire lives looking for it.

As for how it ended up in Quan Furong's hands, Li Ye had no way of knowing and didn't care.

Li Ye searched for a moment among Quan Furong's jewels, but still couldn't find a gem that satisfied him. He wanted to find one for Mrs. Guo Guo. Although Quan Furong's gems were valuable, their quality was far inferior to that of the Caliphate gem. , not even as good as the gemstone bracelet he gave to his mother.

He closed the small suitcase and put it back into the secret room.

Then he took out a large wooden box from the iron stand. Inside was a collection of precious gems. There were seventy or eighty of them. They were fine products selected from thousands of gems. Each one was the same as the five gems in his mother's hand. , of course, is still far from comparable to the Caliphate Gem.

He was going to pick out a few more gemstones for Suzaku and inlay them into necklaces.

"Ah Ye!" Suzaku's voice suddenly came from the yard.

Li Ye was immediately surprised and happy, what a perfect time! Just as he was about to get out, he thought of something again, turned around, took down the box containing the Caliphate Gem, and got out of the secret room.

Although men and women in love are willing to confess their secrets to each other, Li Ye is not an ordinary person after all. Even if he marries Suzaku, he cannot reveal some major secrets, such as his time-travel life experience and the nine Caliphate gems.

He put the small box in the drawer and then went out.

I saw Zhuque wearing a green jacket, a red fox fur jacket, and a pleated pomegranate skirt. It was gorgeous, eye-catching, dignified and natural.

"Ah! Why are you here?"

Suzaku stamped his feet, turned around with a pout, "You don't want me to come, do you?"

"no no!"

Li Ye stepped forward to apologize and explained: "I wanted to find you early in the morning, but I thought you were with my grandmother. Of course I am surprised that you are here."

"Really?" Suzaku looked back at him, a pair of beautiful eyes shining with brilliance, which was particularly moving.

"Of course it's true. I opened the secret room. I'm sorry you can't come. I just want you to take a look."

"Great! I just want to take a look."

Suzaku jumped with joy, took Li Ye's hand and ran towards the study.

In the study room, all the books on the bookshelf were piled on the floor, and the bottom baffle was removed, revealing a two-foot-square hole. The iron door inside had been opened, letting out a weak light.

"Want to go in and take a look?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

"I wanted to go in, but I was a little scared."

"I'll go in first and pick you up inside."

Suzaku stretched out his hand and pinched Li Ye's arm, and whispered: "We have agreed first, you are not allowed to molest me inside, and you are not allowed to kiss me indiscriminately. When I am ready, I will give you what is due!" "

Li Ye knew that she was thin-skinned and had not fully accepted his affection in her heart. Holding hands and kissing her forehead was her limit.

Li Ye then smiled and said: "Don't worry, a gentleman will not bully the darkroom. I don't want to offend the beauty at the most critical moment!"

Zhuque smiled tenderly and punched him on the shoulder, "I don't like sweet talk, get in quickly!"

Li Ye got into the secret room and stretched out his hand to her. Suzaku suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

She ran and locked the door. Li Ye secretly praised her for her carefulness and cleverness. They both entered the secret room. If someone came outside and closed the iron door, they would both be dead. Although it was impossible, her carefulness Li Ye still likes it.

Li Ye reached out to her, held her hand, and slowly led Suzaku in.

"Look, there's a buckle on the iron door, hanging on the wall behind it. If a bad guy comes into the house, it's impossible to close the door from the outside."

"Then I feel relieved. I'm afraid that if someone comes in from the outside and closes the iron door, if you say it can't be opened in three months, we will be dead."

Li Ye said with a smile: "It's not bad to be a mandarin duck with the same fate!"

Suzaku felt sweet in her heart, and gave his arm a squeeze, "That's a beautiful idea, who has become a mandarin duck with you?"

Only then did she adapt to the darkness in the secret room. She stood up slowly and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This place is simply made of iron and steel!"

Li Ye nodded, "I've been wondering why Feilong built this secret room. You mean hiding treasures? The place is too small. It's said to be a hiding place, but once the iron door is closed, people will suffocate inside. Later I felt , he may want to use this place as a place to store his body after ascending."

"You mean the cemetery?" Suzaku hit the nail on the head and revealed the essence.

Li Ye nodded, "Actually, it was a cemetery, but later he changed his mind and became a small secret room in Wutingchuan."

"It's really small. Are there any hidden weapons in here?"

"Yes, there were a lot of random arrows at the beginning. They could be put back and reused. But I saw that many of the arrows were deformed. I was afraid that they would jam the mechanism when put back, so I didn't put them back."

Suzaku also nodded, "There is no point in placing hidden weapons. Experienced thieves will not be shot by hidden weapons. Aye, what is in this?"

Suzaku patted the iron box next to him, and Li Ye smiled and said: "This is all gold. The five thousand taels of gold I gave you before were taken out from here, and now there are still twenty-five thousand taels of gold.

Suzaku chuckled, "Will they all be mine from now on?"

Li Ye's heart skipped a beat, he held her hand and then around her waist. Suzaku said shyly, "Just hold hands. You said that a gentleman will not deceive someone in a dark room."

Li Ye restrained his inner lust, kissed her smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "Just be a hypocrite! Just pretend."
