The Wife is First - 65 Chapter 65 Treasure House
Hao Dadao left, and the two couldn’t help but look at each other.
“Do you think Ruoyi succeeded?” Mu Hanzhang let go of Jing Shao’s hand, but he quickly chased after him and held it, squeezing it and playing with it.
“I feel like it,” Jing Shao pulled the shiny and beautiful hand to his lips, “Whether it is true or not, the chaos in the Southeast Army is a good opportunity.”
Mu Hanzhang nodded: “If the Southeast King is really dead, how many of his sons can succeed?” If there are one or two strategic descendants who immediately take over the position of the Southeast King, the Southeast Army will be in chaos for at most two days. can be reorganized.
Jing Shao shook his head and chuckled: “The Southeast King is only three years old now, and his eldest son is not much older. Moreover, he killed his only brother in order to become the heir apparent. Now he can succeed the Southeast King.” But there is not even half of it.”
The southeast is located on the seaside. In recent years, due to the tariffs on maritime business and the rich products, it has been very wealthy. This has caused the decline of the southeast royal family. Once a capable descendant appears, such as the current Southeast King, they can all be suppressed, so that now that the Southeast King dies, there is no one who can immediately take the throne.
Mu Hanzhang sighed, the laws of heaven are unfailing, and retribution is not good. The Southeast King family has reached this point entirely at their own fault.
They were sent to the southeastern military camp overnight to gather information. In the early morning, the soldiers reported back. The lieutenant generals of the southeastern army discussed it all night. They seemed very anxious. The soldiers in the army were still confused and didn’t know what was going on.
Jing Shao immediately ordered Hao Dadao to lead the troops first, and he led the rest of the army to move out and follow up.
Hao Dadao led the army to the Southeast Army camp. Seeing that they had started to retreat, he shouted loudly: “The Southeast King is dead. You will be captured as soon as possible. You are still a citizen of Dachen, otherwise you will be considered treason!”
When the Southeast Army heard about it, they immediately exploded. From when the generals received the news yesterday to when they announced to break camp and return to the main city this morning, everything was so strange that the soldiers were in panic.
“Hao Dadao, don’t talk nonsense. General Shenjian was frightened and angry. He angrily took his bow and shot at Hao Dadao.
The opposing general’s reaction confirmed the news of Southeast King’s death.
“Kill!” Before the arrow could leave the string, Hao Dadao waved his hand and rushed forward. Thousands of troops and horses immediately blocked his sight. General Shenjian lost his target and was unable to take action for a moment.
By the time Jing Shao caught up, Hao Dadao had already killed General Shenjian under the Hunyuan knife and chased the remaining troops who escaped. The army had no choice but to continue moving forward.
The southeast was heavily hilly and the carriage was bumpy, so Jing Shao pulled the military advisor out to ride with him, leaving the little tiger to roll over in the carriage.
The news of the Southeast King’s death spread among the army like a plague, and the morale of the army was weakened. The generals had no intention of fighting to the death, and Hao Dadao actually attacked the main city – the floating city.
I don’t know which of the unscrupulous heirs was eager to win the throne. The whole house was hung with white cloth, and the main hall was decorated as a mourning hall. In this situation, the mourning should be kept secret and sent to guard the front line quickly. However, these people struggled to show their filial piety and asked the front line troops to return to the towns to guard. The news spread all of a sudden, and the morale of the troops was in chaos. Now they are exhausted.
The army entered the city, and the people dispersed in fear. Jing Shao told him not to disturb the people, and still only brought his own troops into the city.
The Southeast Palace was not as ready to flee as the Southwest Palace. The entire palace was still in panic and was already surrounded by the army.
After gathering the Southeast King’s family members in a small courtyard, Mu Hanzhang checked them one by one and found no trace of Ge Ruoyi, which made him feel a little uneasy. Before leaving, she promised that if she had the chance, she would never do anything stupid and wait for their arrival, but now, she was afraid that things were going to be bad.
“Big! Big! My little girl was snatched into the house by the King of the Southeast. She is innocent! Big, please take her away from here. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse…” A woman in plain clothes suddenly rushed out and threw herself at her. Mu Hanzhang was crying at his feet. He smoothed his hair without leaving a trace, revealing his charming side face intentionally or unintentionally.
Mu Hanzhang hurriedly lowered his head to look, but he was not looking for it, so he couldn’t help but frown.
“Get out!” Jing Shao, who was following him, suddenly became furious and kicked away the woman who was grabbing Jun Qing’s clothes.
The woman screamed and rolled to the side. She saw that the two men were extraordinary. They were not only princes and grandsons, but also high-ranking officials. If they could win his favor, they might be able to continue to live a life of glory and wealth. After observing for a while, I felt that Mu Hanzhang had a gentler temperament and must be easier to talk to. I never expected that the latter person would have such a reaction.
“Let’s go. If Ruoyi is here, he will naturally come out to see you.” Jing Shao reached out and hugged his princess who was in a low mood, and pulled him out of the small courtyard. The women in this courtyard are all enchanting, and they don’t look like good things. , it would be bad if someone pounces on Jun Qing again.
“The reminder in the dream, can you tell whether Ruoyi is okay?” Mu Hanzhang looked up and saw his angry look, and couldn’t help but feel a little funny. This is also a man. How could he be facing a yard of warblers and Yanyan, and he was not at all worried. Instead of showing pity and pity, are you full of anger?
Jing Shao’s steps paused, and a scene from his past life appeared in front of his eyes. The room was full of silence, and the cries were loud. Only one woman laughed heartily in the group. The son of the Southeast King rushed to kill her, but Jing Shao stopped him.
She said, Your Majesty, would you like to hear the little girl tell a story about the past? At the end, she pulled out the sword from Jing Shao’s waist and killed herself with her neck.
When Mu Hanzhang heard this, his beautiful eyes couldn’t help but darken.
“That was just a dream. It’s hard to say what the situation is now,” Jing Shao sighed softly and hugged his princess into his arms. “The King of the Southwest came to seek refuge, but was killed by the King of the Southeast. Now the treasures of the two fiefdoms are in this mansion. Let’s go and take a look.”
Everything in the mansion was still well preserved, and even the servants did not have time to escape. Except for some ornaments in conspicuous places, all valuable things were retained.
The Southeast King’s treasure trove was not as timid as the Southwest King’s. Instead, he built a separate warehouse in the bamboo forest in the main courtyard.
Passing through the lush bamboo bushes, a huge stone house came into view. The stone door was thick, and the heavy soldiers around the handles had been replaced by Jing Shao’s personal guards. Jiang Lang stood in front of the stone house and saw him coming and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
“Prince Qi, there is a big lock in this stone chamber. It must be opened from the inside.” Jiang Lang was very distressed. The prince asked him to go ahead and guard the treasure house. After studying for a long time, he discovered the secret.
“There must be a secret passage leading into the stone chamber from somewhere else.” Mu Hanzhang stepped forward and looked at it for a moment, then turned to Jing Shao and said.
Jing Shao nodded. The other end of the secret passage should be in the Southeast King’s bedroom. He was about to send him there, but unexpectedly, there was a roar and the door of the stone chamber opened by itself!
Jiang Lang hurriedly retreated, and in front of the prince and princess, the sunlight shone into the stone chamber, reflecting the dust in the air. As soon as he slowly walked out of the darkness, Yingying prostrated. Wearing a pink gauze dress, she wrapped her voluptuous figure without any accessories. Her face was bare, but it did not affect her beauty at all.
“Slave Ge Ruoyi, welcome the prince and princess!” The originally clear voice was a little hoarse, probably due to the lack of water and food in the stone room.
“Ruoyi!” Mu Hanzhang stepped forward to help her up. Although she was a little haggard, there was no doubt that she was really Ge Ruoyi.
Looking at Wang’s handsome smile, Ge Ruoyi couldn’t help but burst into tears. Originally, she shouldn’t have lived anymore after killing the Southeast King, but she remembered the princess’s earnest words before leaving. If there was anything left in the world, Kizuna, probably only the prince and the second princess have yet to repay their kindness!
Seeing that his princess was happy, Jing Shao was naturally happy too. He asked Jiang Lang to take Ge Ruoyi to rest, and happily carried her into his arms into the stone room.
The candles were lit one by one, and the things in the stone room were completely revealed to the eyes.
Not to mention the boxes of gold bricks, silver bars, emeralds and agates, or the South Sea pearls in jars, the countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and famous swords and knives alone are dizzying.
“Xiao Shao…” Mu Hanzhang said slowly, “We… got rich…”
Although it is reasonable to say that these things must be turned over to the national treasury, but those who have no owner have a share!
Jing Shao took out a big box and happily picked out things with his princess and stuffed them inside.
Mu Hanzhang finally had some sense and stopped Jing Shao from taking things randomly. He only took a small three-foot-long box: “That box is too obvious. Even though this kind of thing is an unwritten rule, the credit this time is too great.” If you are too big, you will inevitably attract criticism, so it is better to be careful.”
Although Mu Hanzhang did not learn the essence of identifying treasures from his mother, he was still able to distinguish the value of these treasures.
The treasures are not many but fine. Jing Shao suddenly understood. He had never seen any good things since he was in the palace since he was a child, so he naturally understood the mystery.
Take the walnut-sized dark green jadeite Pixiu, for example, which is more valuable than the half-foot-tall mutton-fat jade Buddha hand; and the smooth blue moon hairpin, which is more valuable than the exquisitely crafted gold walking stick. Much more.
Jing Shao took the hairpin. It was a simple jade hairpin, basically without too many carvings. The hairpin itself was slightly bent into the shape of flowing clouds and moons. The jade quality was warm and moist. More importantly, it was a man’s hairpin. The hairpin is perfect for the princess.
He walked over and gently placed the hairpin in Hanzhang’s hair. He was wearing a sapphire crown today, with two strands of green tassels hanging down his long raven hair, paired with the blue moon flowing cloud. , couldn’t be more appropriate.
Mu Hanzhang looked back at him, his beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement, just like the crystal cup in his hand, crystal clear and really beautiful. Jing Shao couldn’t help but leaned forward and kissed his eyes: “What are you doing with this cup?”
“This cup must have come from overseas.” Mu Hanzhang was tickled by him, so he smiled and hid. Chen Chao rarely made crystals into cups. The crystal cup in his hand not only had a special texture, but also had a unique shape. Weiqi said, “If this kind of thing is brought to the capital, it will definitely sell for a good price.”
Jing Shao couldn’t help but laugh. His princess really never forgets to do business and make money anytime and anywhere: “Dongnan’s generation often has overseas merchants come to sell, and let them come back to buy some. This thing is not valuable, if you like it, you can buy it from the Southeast Prince’s Palace. Take all the cups with you and sell them when you go to Jiangnan in a few days.”
“Are we going to Jiangnan?” Mu Hanzhang looked up at him after hearing this.
Jing Shao nodded and returned to Beijing from here. He happened to pass by Jiangnan. He couldn’t go back in time to celebrate the New Year anyway, so he might as well stay with his princess Jiangnan for a while and meet her by the way.
