Listening to Zhao Mu's words, Xiao Ming was a little doubtful at first.
But after hearing that Zhao Mu was so clear about the affairs of the Murong family and the Wang family, she immediately let down her guard.
She held the box in her hand and said, "Is this really what the young lady and Mr. Murong have negotiated?"
Zhao Mu continued to lie and deceive: "Of course. Mrs. Wang has always been prejudiced against my young master and the Murong family. If my young master could come, there would be no need to send us to cooperate with my cousin to steal it." Although there are many martial arts collections, they are still not as good as those in the Langhuan Jade Cave in your mansion."
"I once heard the young master say that the collection of books in the Langhuan Jade Cave only lacks the Yi Yang Finger and the Six Meridians Divine Sword of the Duan family of Dali, the Beggar Clan's Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon and the Dog Fighting Stick Technique, and Shaolin's Yi Jin After that, all other martial arts sects were taken over. During this period, several small sects including Shaolin, the Beggar Clan, and the Qingcheng Sect all formed alliances with the young master."
"Young master can't break the Murong family's family rule of 'repaying him with kindness'. However, the master's training in some martial arts is not perfect yet, so he can't take revenge. That's why I waited for a lot of trouble to come here." Stealing books.”
Zhao Mu recounted everything that happened to Murong's family during this period, and even mentioned the Murong family's forbidden area, "Huan Shi Shui Pavilion." She was sure that the man in front of her was a member of the Murong family.
At this time, Xiao Ming presented the brocade box in her hand and said, "So that's it. Here! This is the secret key to Langhuan Jade Cave."
With that said, Xiao Ming opened the brocade box in her hand, and then showed Zhao Mu the key to the Langhuan Jade Cave.
Zhao Mu looked carefully and saw that the so-called secret key was just a hexagonal three-layered key. Only when all three layers were inserted into the keyhole could the door to the secret room be opened.
Xiao Ming continued to introduce: "The entrance to Langhuan Jade Cave is under the rockery to the east of Miss Xiulou. Because it is a forbidden area, except for Miss and a few of our personal maids, others are strictly prohibited from approaching, and there are no guards there. Young Master can go there on his own."
Zhao Mu saw that this innocent little girl had been fooled, so he took the key to Langhuan Jade Cave from her.
But this can’t be blamed on Xiao Ming’s innocence.
Zhao Mu is a time traveler with a God's perspective. As far as the Murong family is concerned, let alone her fourteen or fifteen-year-old child. Even if Murong Bo came to interrogate him in person, he could still answer fluently, making him believe that he was a new retainer following Murong Fu.
Zhao Mu took the key and said, "Thank you for your help this time. The girl was frightened just now. I apologize to the girl. But I have never been to the Langhuan Jade Cave. I wonder if there are other defense mechanisms in the cave?"
Xiao Ming shook her head and said: "Except for us and the close ministers of the Murong family, no outsiders know about the Langhuan Jade Cave. Even some low-level servants in the mansion only know that the Langhuan Jade Cave is a forbidden area and do not know There are books inside. Therefore, except for the Xuantian lock outside the door, there are no mechanisms inside."
Zhao Mu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he continued to ask: "Can the cave be messy? My cousin did not want Mrs. Wang to pursue it before, so she blamed my young master. Therefore, we, the servants, are told not to take away the key unless it is absolutely necessary. If the cave is The general collection of books in Zhongru Shishui Pavilion is divided into categories according to sects. I can find it as quickly as possible and then leave as quickly as possible. This will neither cause trouble to the girl nor my cousin, nor cause any trouble. Mrs. Wang’s suspicion.”
Xiao Ming replied: "Well, sir, don't worry. Our Langhuan Jade Cave is the same as the Murong family's Huanshi Water Pavilion. If you want to find any martial arts, you can follow the sect index to find it. As for time, I We can wait a quarter or two for the young master. The madam just ordered me to come and see if the young lady has taken the key away. Calculating the time, the madam is going to take a bath now and prepare to go to bed. The order of the madam's bathing is complicated and takes nearly an hour. As long as I deliver the key before Madam finishes taking a bath, then there will be no problem."
Zhao Mu felt that he was just lucky. In this case, he could choose slowly like going to a supermarket. Zhao Mu lamented that bathing is a good habit.
Zhao Mu said: "That's very good!"
Zhao Mugang wanted to turn around and leave, but he thought of a key question. He turned around and asked: "By the way, girl! This time, I was originally responsible for supporting the outside, Brother Duan was supporting the inside, and A'Zhu Abi cooperated with my cousin to steal the book. Originally our plan was that A'Zhu Abi would bring the secrets of the exercises to the young master. Our cousin, who is proficient in hundreds of martial arts, writes a book silently and puts it back at home, so that no one is aware of it."
"Now, because of Yan's mother's trouble, my cousin has escaped together with Brother A'Zhu Abi. If I take the secret books away, my wife will check and find that a few copies are missing. Wouldn't this matter be exposed? My young master and my cousin are Madam, if you are a blood relative, you will be punished once or twice at most. But girl, you may be in danger of your life. After all, our cousin lady is always dragging people to make flower fertilizer to feed her camellias. "
Xiao Ming said at this time: "Young master, please feel free to go. In the past few years, no one else has gone to Langhuan Jade Cave except the young lady and a few of us maids who helped the young lady move books. What the madam usually cares about are the few precious plants. Camellia, I don’t care much about the martial arts books in the cave. As long as the young master sees my lady, tell her the title of the stolen book, and ask her to write down a copy and complete it when she comes back. "
Zhao Mu said happily: "If that's the case, that's great. In this case, without further ado, I will go find the few martial arts books that my young master needs as soon as possible. After I finish getting the books, the girl will be waiting here. I will The key is returned to the girl. As for those martial arts classics, I think if the young master does not store them in Huanshi Shui Pavilion, then he must ask his cousin to bring them back. What happens after that is beyond the control of those of us today. Let the masters decide for themselves."
Xiao Ming no longer had the fear she had just now, and she smiled and nodded.
Then Zhao Mu bowed and turned to leave. Xiao Ming, on the other hand, picked up the feather duster on the side and began to clean the young lady's room to wait for Zhao Mu's return.
After Zhao Mu left the embroidery building, he followed Xiao Ming's guidance and found the entrance to the Langhuan Jade Cave in front of a rockery.
And as Xiao Ming said, there is no one guarding here at all.
This is where the young lady's boudoir is located, and the male servants in the mansion are prohibited from approaching it. Secondly, there are forbidden rules set by Mrs. Wang here, and no one else dares to approach.
After all, there is a lady who makes people into flowers at every turn. No one despises his own longevity and deliberately touches the bad luck of that crazy woman.
Zhao Mu inserted the key into the Xuantian lock on the door one by one according to the three-layer design above.
Zhao Mu turned the key every time it was inserted into a layer. After all the keys were entered, he turned lightly and the Xuantian Lock was opened. Zhao Mu gently pushed open the stone door, took out the key, and flew towards the cave.
