Chapter 10: Rare Treasures
Night has fallen, but the city is still lit up. And this night was not peaceful, a group of sergeants wearing mighty armor walked all over the streets and alleys to buy bags of baggage, and intentionally or unintentionally revealed a shocking news: "The Beijing division has changed greatly, Dong Zhuo has been assassinated by Lu Bu." Within a day, tens of thousands of troops would come to attack Yiwu. The soldiers in the city were ready to divide the gold and silver in the treasury and fled. ”
Most of the residents in Yiwu City were relatives of Dong Zhuo's powerful people, so they were very clear about the great battle in which the princes of the world fought against Dong Zhuo. I also know more or less that Dong Zhuo has done some things about the abolition of the establishment, and he has defiled the court and killed innocent people, so he has attracted rumors of many assassinations. Therefore, the news revealed by these sergeants quickly became the talk of the streets, and it was easy to stir up panic.
Soon after, fires broke out in all parts of the city. But the strange thing is that the forbidden soldiers who are responsible for guarding the city on weekdays hardly show up, and the air is filled with a smell of mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building. Gradually, scattered people rushed in a certain direction. Later, many powerful people simply marched through the streets with their own soldiers. Their direction is surprisingly consistent.
Wu Zhao proudly bumped Tan Sitong's shoulder: "How is it?" I have a good idea, right? Which of the 36 plans do you think my plan is? ”
Tan Sitong scratched his head: "Drive the tiger and devour the wolf? Or fishing in troubled waters? With all due respect, it doesn't feel like it! ”
Wu Zhao saw this method in a novel, but in fact, he can't say what name it belongs to. But whoever cares what he calls it, it's good to be useful. So he was even more proud and said to Tan Sitong: "Of course, my strategy is beyond my predecessors, otherwise what would I do with your eldest brother?" Find a way to gather the brothers, let's follow these people and do the camera. ”
According to the contact method agreed in advance, the two walked forward with the crowd and gathered more than 100 brothers to their side. The crowd had gathered in front of a very inconspicuous but dark-looking fortified fortress. In front of the fortress was a group of armor soldiers on guard, led by a young general with a dignified appearance.
The general was speaking in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dong Xiangguo's military powerhouse, how can you allow trespassing?" Pei is entrusted by Dong Xiangguo to guard this place, who dares to be reckless, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword! ”
A middle-aged man in the crowd shouted, "You dare! The residents of this city are either Dong Xiangguo's relatives or the old ones of Xiangguo's henchmen. You are a little officer, how many dares do you dare to offend us? Now that the city is about to be breached by the enemy, you can quickly open a position and let everyone split some plates to escape for their lives! ”
The crowd shouted loudly, and seeing that the guards were small, they pushed straight forward. The young general whispered a few words to a guard beside him, and when the guard took the order, he commanded the soldiers to step forward and form a human wall to block it desperately.
Seeing this, Wu Zhao smiled and said, "The time is ripe." Whisper to the brothers, let's sneak around from behind. ”
Tan Sitong nodded and quickly passed the order down. More than 100 men took advantage of the cover of the crowd to touch behind the fortress.
After looking for a while and there was no back door, Wu Zhao immediately decided: "Take a ladder!" ”
The walls of this fortress were about two feet high, and Tan Sitong jumped up a little on the shoulder of a sergeant, and with a slight turn, he jumped in first. Wu Zhao didn't have this ability, so he secretly gave him a middle finger, and slandered in his heart: "Dead nerd, there are no women here, who can show you handsome~"
It took about a quarter of an hour, and more than a hundred people flipped in. Tan Sitong leaned over: "There are two dark stakes, which I have solved." Let's move quickly and be wary of patrols. ”
Wu Zhao's old face was red, but he couldn't see it in the night. Adjust quickly and then whisper, "Follow us, don't scatter." Be careful not to make a sound. ”
Thinking that he would be able to break into Dong Zhuo's treasure house soon, Wu Zhao's saliva flowed. and Tan Sitong walked side by side in front. In the dark night, I vaguely felt the shadows in the wall, as if it was divided into many small warehouses.
Approaching a small warehouse, Tan Sitong said in a low voice: "I'll go and find out if there is a dark stake." His body shook and jumped silently like a cat. Wu Zhao stopped the sergeants behind him and slowed down and walked slowly.
Soon Tan Sitong touched it back again: "The dark stake has been solved, and the door of the warehouse has been cut open by me." Brother, let's go! ”
The most exciting moment was coming, and Wu Zhao desperately suppressed his urge to cheer loudly, but he felt that he was trembling all over.
At the door of the warehouse, Wu Zhao was worried that the sergeants would lose control and disobey the command when they saw the gold and jade jewels in their eyes, so he ordered in a low voice: "You stay at the door and wait for my instructions." Then go in side by side with Tan Sitong.
Tan Sitong took out a fire fold to light it, and saw countless large boxes stacked on top of each other, and at a glance it looked like there were at least hundreds. Wu Zhao opened a box full of silver ingots that shone with white light.
Wu Zhao found three boxes at random and opened them, all of which were silver. It's the kind of silver that weighs fifty taels a lot.
Wu Zhao frowned: "How is it silver, look for it again, we only move gold bars." ”
After searching for four or five more warehouses, I finally found one full of gold bars. The moment Wu Zhao opened the box, he was almost blinded by the golden light. The slap-sized pieces of gold bars were all over the house without money, which made Wu Zhao have the idea of jumping up and kissing a few bites.
Tan Sitong looked calm, and seemed to be a gentleman-type scholar who was influenced by the way of Confucius and Mencius. Wu Zhao was a little excited for a few seconds, then he strongly pressed down his excitement, took out the cloth bag hidden in his arms and said: "After I fill the cloth bag, you carry it to the door, and then bring in all the cloth bags and baggage of the sergeants." Be careful not to reveal your tone, or beware of the sergeants getting into trouble. ”
Next, Wu Zhao spent the most timeful time in his life. Large pieces of gold bars and gold bricks were packed into cloth bags, and dozens of bags were packed in one go. Of course, if he could, he was willing to keep pretending. However, Tan Sitong came over and reminded in a low voice: "We have to hurry up." If the crowd that came to make a noise is dispersed, it is likely that the vigilance will be strengthened. ”
Wu Zhao reluctantly stopped: "Okay." Let's go and search for other warehouses. There should also be jewelry, jade, etc., go. He grabbed a few handfuls and put them in his arms very unproductively, and secretly saved some private money.
Then there are pearl treasure troves, jade treasure troves, silk treasure troves, etc., and countless large boxes are piled up. Of course, the most is the treasure trove of silver. Wu Zhao's saliva was three feet long, but he also hated itchy. There are so many good things, you just can't move them all. It's a pity!
Wu Zhaozheng regretted it, and suddenly Tan Sitong said in a low voice: "Be careful, the murderous aura is very strong!" ”
Wu Zhao came back to his senses: "Murderous? ”
Tan Sitong said: "A martial artist's intuition can feel the murderous aura. This warehouse is extraordinary. There may be a lot of dark piles. Stop and come back when I'm done. ”
Wu Zhao subconsciously took two steps back. Fortunately, Tan Sitong didn't pay attention, and disappeared into the night in a flash. This time I came back after a long time, and my voice was muffled: "This time the dark pile is quite prickly." Time is urgent, everyone should move faster. ”
Wu Zhao listened to the order to the armor soldiers behind him: "You withdraw first, and two people are in charge of a bag." Be vigilant. Ten of you stay and wait for us at the door. ”
The voice of the little white snake sounded in his head: "Host, don't be so timid. The soldiers I give away are generally not defective. Look at you miser, I think you're poor and afraid. ”
Wu Zhao was not convinced: "What if they are the same?" This is the starting capital that will be used to save the people of the world in the future, and it must not be sloppy at all. ”
The white snake let out a long "cut" and stopped talking, and Wu Zhao hurriedly dodged in, after all, there are many dreams in the night. As soon as he entered, a rancid breath came to his face, and Wu Zhao couldn't help but shout in his heart: "I'm dizzy, isn't it?" There's also a warehouse for the armor and weapons of soldiers killed in battle? ”
Tan Sitong gasped: "No, the taste is not exactly the same." And the smell of the earth. As he spoke, he lit a fire.
Wu Zhao covered his nose and opened a large box, and suddenly his eyes widened: "A whole box of clothes made of jade pieces?" It looks so gorgeous. ”
Tan Sitong said in a low voice: "This should be a golden jade robe, a funeral robe for the emperor and high-ranking nobles." It seems that this is the result of Dong Zhuo's excavation of the royal nobles' tombs in Luoyang. ”
Wu Zhao didn't pay attention to his strange appearance, and went to rummage through other boxes again, only to find that what was kept in this warehouse was the real treasures. Some chests contain a whole box of treasure mirrors, each of which looks strange; Some boxes contain all kinds of bronzes, such as exquisite small towers, small tripods, etc.; Some boxes contain all kinds of gold seals and jade seals; Some of the boxes contain very fine incense burners; There are also glass cups, jade coverings, coral trees, strings of crystal beads, agate bowls, jade to ward off evil spirits, beaded tents, plain gauze robes, luminous cups and all kinds of unnamed fur clothes. Some Tan Sitong can explain one or two, and Wu Zhao's blood boils when he hears it; But the vast majority of Tan Sitong can't say it. Wu Zhao had the illusion that all the treasures in the world had been hidden in this small warehouse.
Wu Zhao hurriedly grabbed for a while, no matter what treasures he stuffed into it. Stuff a few treasures, put a coat or other soft object, and stuff some more.
But there are too many things, and Wu Zhao's intestines are repentant: "I knew that I would have gone directly to this warehouse." Bringing out a few dozen bags of gold may not be worth a bag of treasures here, but unfortunately there are not enough bags and sergeants here now. There are more than a hundred bags of treasures here!
Wu Zhao thought in pieces: "It's a pity, it's a pity," while hurriedly filling in. Just filled two bags, the sergeant outside the door warned: "Someone is coming." “
Wu Zhao carried a bag in one hand and ran out with a sad face. The dignified young general guarding the treasure house in front strode with more than thirty people and torches. More than thirty torches lit up brightly, and it was too late for Wu Zhao and the others to dodge.
Tan Sitong walked out from behind Wu Zhao: "Brother, you go first." I'll break it off. “
Wu Zhao's hand rubbed Tan Sitong's body, feeling wet. Taken aback: "Sitong, are you injured?" “
Tan Sitong shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's a skin injury." Retreat! “
The voice of the little white snake sounded in Wu Zhao's mind: "Tan Sitong has knife wounds on his arms and waist, and he can't use his strength, so it's difficult to use a long sword." If you let him go up like this, it's pure death. ”
