In an unnamed valley somewhere in the Qilian Mountains, the view is lush and lush. There is a path in the middle leading straight into the depths of the valley, surrounded by high rock walls, which are more than ten feet tall.
The valley is not big, only about a dozen acres, and is circular in shape. If you look around, there is nothing special about it. The only entrance is from the mouth of the valley, which leads to a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Sir, I have explored this valley a little. There is no one in it. It is a Gourd Valley. This is just the front valley. There is a back valley at the back that is twice as big as this one and has many caves. I guess Wang Hu wants to hide something. I'm afraid it's in the back valley!" Chen Kuifeng explained from the side.
Luo Zhang nodded and drove his horse along the path. Chen Kuifeng and the Eighteen Cavalry guards left and right, constantly looking around to prevent any unexpected events.
After passing through the front valley and entering the back valley, as expected, as Chen Kuifeng said, there is another back valley, which is much larger than the front valley. There are also many tall trees and wooden houses here. As for what Chen Kuifeng said The cave is under the rock wall.
"Explore the cave first, form groups of three, and divide into six groups to explore. If there is any situation, withdraw immediately!" Luo Zhang told the Eighteen Cavalry.
Eighteen people dismounted and took orders, taking their own equipment and sneaking into the cave in groups of three.
Luo Zhang also got off his horse and walked towards the houses. Chen Kuifeng just took a quick glance to see if anyone was there, but Luo Zhang wanted to go in and investigate, maybe there would be something to gain inside!
Wang Hu didn't say where his treasure was hidden, so any place was a suspicious place and had to be checked.
While Luo Zhang was exploring Hulu Valley, in Chang'an City, Li Yifu galloped out of the city on horseback and rushed towards Zuowuwei's camp.
Judging from the nervous look on his face, it seemed like something big had happened.
When Li Yifu rushed to the Zuowuwei camp to find Liu Renyuan, his horse's buttocks were so beaten that his skin was torn. You can imagine how anxious Li Yifu was.
"Yifu, what are you doing? Why are you so inconsiderate to the horses? You will kill the horses!" As a horse lover, Liu Renyuan did not want to see people mistreating horses, so he naturally wanted to lecture him.
Li Yifu said with a speechless face: "This is so urgent, and you still feel sorry for the stupid horse. Hurry up and gather all the people and follow me. Something happened, something big happened!"
"Huh? Something happened? What big thing could happen, and you actually asked me to order all the troops? This army cannot be moved casually. It must be mobilized with the order of the commander or His Majesty. Otherwise, if you mobilize the troops without permission, you will be punished as treason!" Liu Renyuan! Somewhat puzzled.
"It's too late, something might have happened to you!" Li Yifu said anxiously.
"Then tell me quickly. I will report it to Mr. Cheng. I think the relationship between Mr. Cheng and Mr. Cheng will not be unreasonable!" Liu Renyuan's expression changed.
"In the morning, your Excellency took Chen Kuifeng out of the city. Not long after he left the city, the third elder of the Changsun family also left the city. I didn't know it at first. It wasn't until I went to Luo Mansion to find you that I learned that Your Excellency had gone to the Qilian Mountains. , after asking about the fact that the third elder has also left the city, he must be looking for someone to assassinate the Lord. You also know the grudge between the Lord and the Changsun family. The Changsun family will never miss such a good opportunity!" Li Yifu and Liu Renyuan While walking towards Cheng Yaojin's tent, he explained the information and judgment he had obtained.
"Are you too worried? If the third elder of the Changsun family is just going out to do business, then if we ask Master Cheng to mobilize the army, wouldn't it be just playing the piano randomly?" Liu Renyuan said his doubts.
"I originally thought so, but the third elder has not come back until now. I spent money to find out that after the third elder left the city, he went to the fief of the Changsun family outside the city, and there were many captives of the Changsun family in that fiefdom. Master, the most important thing is that someone saw many people leaving that fiefdom, including the three elders, and the direction they went to was the Qilian Mountains! Half a day has passed now, and it will be too late if we don’t go!" Li Yifu After saying this in one breath, he felt deeply tired. From the time he knew about this to the present, Li Yifu has been running around and never stopped at all. Coupled with the worries in his heart, it would be abnormal not to be tired.
You must know that Luo Zhang was kind to him and was his biggest supporter. If Luo Zhang fell, he would have no supporter. Wanting to be successful in this life is tantamount to wishful thinking, so Luo Zhang must not be fine.
Hearing what Li Yifu said, Liu Renyuan also became nervous. Compared with Li Yifu's utilitarianism, Liu Renyuan was really worried about Luo Zhang. Now that he knew that something might happen to Luo Zhang, how could he dare to neglect and leave Li Yifu alone and go straight to Cheng Yaojin's house? Big account.
When Cheng Yaojin learned about this matter, he was even more nervous and worried than Liu Renyuan. He knew more about the grudge between Luo Zhang and the Changsun family. Judging from the information obtained from Li Yifu, this matter was inseparable and the Changsun family would never He missed this opportunity, and even a fool could see the importance of Luo Zhang because of His Majesty's favor. If something happened to Luo Zhang, that would be fine! The Changsun family is really lawless!
Immediately, Cheng Yaojin personally led Luo Zhang's army and Liu Renyuan to kill Qilian Mountain!
As the commander of Zuowu Guard, he has the right to mobilize troops and horses for training. Cheng Yaojin often did this, so Cheng Yaojin's movements did not attract the attention of others.
In the nameless valley in the Qilian Mountains, with Luo Zhang's unremitting efforts, he finally found the treasure hidden by Wang Hu in a cave.
Wang Hu hid deep enough, and actually blocked the treasure hiding place with a big stone in the innermost part of the cave. He was too stupid to clean up the footprints in front of the big stone every time, and was easily discovered by Shiba Qi. Strangely, he pushed away the boulder and discovered the treasure inside.
When Luo Zhang walked into Wang Hu's treasure house, he couldn't help but be amazed by Wang Hu's collection. There were all kinds of jades, goldware, silverware, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and that's not all. In the corner, there were also There are ten large boxes. When you open it, you will see that they are golden gold cakes. A rough estimate is that this box contains a thousand taels of gold cakes. The ten boxes contain enough ten thousand taels of gold and are worth a million taels of silver. This is a This huge harvest, plus the gold antiques, has a total value of at least two million taels.
In this regard, Luo Zhang lamented that bandits made money quickly. It was a costless job, much faster than those officials making money. If he hadn't been the grandson of Luo Mansion and couldn't afford to lose his ancestors, I'm afraid that everyone wants to occupy the mountain and become the king, and the grass will become the bandit.
"Seal the things first. After the iron eggs are found, we will send people to transport them back at a different date. It is inconvenient for Li Junxian to transport these things!" Luo Zhang ordered Chen Kuifeng.
"Yes, sir!" Chen Kuifeng nodded in agreement.
After the treasure was found, Luo Zhang naturally had no intention of staying here anymore. Instead, he walked out of the cave to ask Li Junxian how his search was going.
Before Luo Zhang could leave the valley, one of the Eighteen Riders stopped him and said they had made a new discovery, which seemed to be very similar to the iron egg Luo Zhang mentioned.
This made Luo Zhang a little overjoyed. Under the leadership of the group of eighteen riders, Luo Zhang came to another cave and saw iron lumps piled deep in the cave. They were almost the same as those used by Wang Hu back then. The only The difference is that there is no oil-soaked cotton cloth inserted on these iron lumps as fuses. Unless there is a fire here, these iron lumps will not explode. This Wang Hu is quite smart.
Now that he has discovered Tie Liao Da and Wang Hu's treasure, there is no need for Luo Zhang to stay here anymore.
Luo Zhang picked up three iron lumps from the ground and left. He didn't need to worry about the remaining iron lumps. He could just give them to Li Junxian and find someone to transport them away.
Luo Zhang, who was in a good mood, had just arrived at the entrance of the valley when he saw a dozen people rushing toward him covered in bruises. Who was the leader if it wasn't Li Junxian? But how could he make it so miserable? Will there be large beasts here too? But no matter how powerful the beast is, it cannot be the opponent of a group of secret agents.
"Luo Zhang, run quickly, enter the valley, the enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!" Li Junxian ran and called Luo Zhang to run quickly. Looking at his pale face, it was obvious that something big had happened. Someone was attacking them. Come on. There are many people.
How could Luo Zhang dare to be lazy? He turned around and ran, but after running a few steps, he stopped and ordered the Eighteen Riders beside him: "Hurry up and go to the cave just now and get all those iron lumps for me." , Hurry, hurry up, leave it all to labor and management!”
