Chapter 1138

Zhu Shifu didn't wait for the princess to finish speaking, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Liu has already thought about this matter. He asked me to entrust the business to Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu is cautious and loyal to us, and with him coming forward, there will definitely be no mistakes. At present, among the several vassal kings directly related to the King of Shu, which one does not have five or six restaurants and pawnshops in Chengdu Prefecture? Which one of them has not bought tens of thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city? If we open a silk village in the city and buy several hundred acres of land outside the city, the yamen will not have any suspicions. ”

When Zhu Shishi said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "But there is no harm in being cautious. The matter of buying land can be done secretly by Uncle Wu. As for the silk village, it must be done after half a year, so that there will be no disaster. ”

When the princess heard Zhu Shishi say this, she finally put her mind at ease. The couple was overjoyed to think that they no longer had to worry about food and clothing. I just thought that my young son was far away, but I was a little sad.

It turned out that after Zhu Shishi was helped away by the old servant, Humpty Dumpty told Li Qiufeng and the old man surnamed Huang about his plan. Then he and Li Qiufeng took advantage of the night to sneak into the yamen of the Chengdu prefect, and entered the secret room where the prefect's private wealth was kept without much effort. Seeing that the room was full of gold, silver and jewelry, the two were stunned. According to Humpty Dumpty's intentions, all the gold, silver and jewelry in the room should be removed, and no pennies should be left for the dog officer. Li Qiufeng shook his head again and again, and told Humpty Dumpty that he could take the silver. If you steal all those gold and silver jewelry and pearl antiques, it is useless to keep them in your hands, and it is very easy to expose your feet if you want to sell them. It was the two of them who first transported six boxes of silver out of the prefect's yamen and hid them in an alley. Then one by one, it was sent back to Zhu Shishi's palace. After dawn, Humpty Dumpty and Li Qiufeng told the princess about it. Then Li Qiufeng asked the old servant to buy a carriage, and the three of them wrapped the sick prince in a big quilt, hugged him into the carriage, and said goodbye to the princess, and left Chengdu Mansion early in the morning and went straight to Qingcheng Mountain.

After daylight, the three of them had left Chengdu City for more than 20 miles. The old man surnamed Huang was riding on a horse, and he was a little worried in his heart. He said to Li Qiufeng: "Feng'er, the prefect's yamen has stolen so much silver, won't it really be searched all over the city?"

Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "Uncle Huang can rest assured." This silver will not be seen in the light, and if the prefect makes a big show to hunt down the thieves throughout the city, the matter will inevitably get out. Chengdu Mansion is the first important place in Shuzhong, and Yushi, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang all have eyeliner here. If these people reported the matter to the capital, the political enemies of the prefect would take the opportunity to attack. At that point, it won't be a matter of six chests of silver. Although the prefect was in pain, he did not dare to search on a large scale. And if he secretly investigates this matter, he can only use those fools in the prefect's yamen to catch him quickly. When Master and I took the money, we set up a lot of suspicions and would not leave any clues. Uncle Huang is relieved. ”

The old man surnamed Huang said: "I'm not worried that your master and apprentice will leave flaws. It's just that Zhu Shishi has no power to restrain the chicken, and there is only an empty shelf left in his palace. If you accidentally expose your feet, I'm afraid you will have to be unlucky. ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "Uncle Huang doesn't know, according to the laws of the imperial court, without a holy decree, the magistrate is not allowed to enter the mansion of the vassal king, otherwise it will be regarded as complicity and rebellion, which is a great crime to exterminate the nine clans." Moreover, Zhu Shishi has been extremely difficult over the years, and he has no skills, and the prefect will not suspect him if he loses his silver. Even if he was suspicious of Zhu Shishi, he couldn't enter the mansion to search without authorization. It is placed in Zhu Shishi's mansion with silver, and there will be no risk. The old servant surnamed Wu has a lot of experience, and with him to help us do things, we don't have to worry. ”

Humpty Dumpty sat in the carriage, listened to the two talking, smiled, and said: "Lao Huang can put his heart back in his stomach, I see that although Zhu Shishi is powerless, he has suffered a lot over the years, and he is definitely not a foolish prince." The money was given into his hands, and it certainly helped the poor people. ”

Although the old man surnamed Huang was a little worried in his heart, he knew the ability of Humpty Dumpty, and since the master and apprentice were confident, he didn't have to worry too much. It was he who diverted the topic and talked about some strange things in the rivers and lakes.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the three of them entered Qingcheng Mountain. Qingcheng Mountain covers an extremely wide area, although the world is quite familiar with the name of Qingcheng Mountain, that is because there are many temples in the front mountain, quite lively. However, the mountains behind Qingcheng Mountain are extremely deep, and there are many poisonous snakes and beasts, so very few people will go to the back mountains to seek seclusion. The three of them drove the carriage into a valley in the mountains behind Qingcheng Mountain, and there were no people around. At last they reached the foot of a mountain peak, and the carriage could no longer move forward. Li Qiufeng untied the horses pulling the cart from the wheels, picked Zhu Shishi's young son out of the carriage, and followed Humpty Dumpty along a hidden path towards the mountain. The old man surnamed Huang also got off the horse and walked at the end with his mount and several horses carrying luggage. When I got to the mountainside, there was no road in front of me. Humpty Dumpty had already prepared, took the luggage off the horse, put it on himself, turned his head and said to the old man surnamed Huang: "We can only rely on our two legs in front, and these horses will be released here in the mountains and forests." ”

After the three of them had driven away the horses, Humpty Dumpty, carrying two large bags of luggage, quietly walked into the first woods on the right. I saw him going around the east and west of the forest, and after half a pillar of incense, a stone wall appeared in front of him. This stone wall is like a knife sharpening an axe, and it is extremely steep at a glance.

The old man surnamed Huang saw Humpty Dumpty walking under the stone wall, there was no road in front of him, and he thought to himself, there were only mountains and rocks in front of him, and the road had come to an end. Brother Liu won't live in a stone wall, right?

He was in a moment of surprise, but he saw Humpty Dumpty clinging to the stone wall, and suddenly disappeared. The old man surnamed Huang was shocked and was about to speak, but he saw Li Qiufeng turn around and say, "Uncle Huang, let's go up the mountain along a stone staircase on the stone wall." It's just that this place is extremely steep, and the mountain wind is urgent, so Uncle Huang must be careful. You follow behind my master, and my little nephew walks last. ”

The old man surnamed Huang nodded, and then walked forward. When he reached the bottom of the stone wall, he found that a platform more than a foot wide protruded from the right side of the stone wall, with stone steps hewn out on it, extending upwards along the stone wall on the right. On the outside of the stone steps, there is another layer of extreme stone walls, which is like a screen, covering the stone steps. Humpty Dumpty was not tall, and after walking up the stone steps, he was blocked by a layer of stone walls outside, as if he had disappeared into the stone wall out of thin air.

The old man surnamed Huang stood in front of the stone wall and said, "You master and apprentice are really amazing, you actually found such a secret place. When they reached the end of the mountain road, ordinary people could only turn around and go back, but they didn't know that there was such a steep stone wall through the woods. Standing in front of the stone wall, at a glance, you will never find that the stone wall is actually two floors. Only when you get close to the stone wall will you find that there is a stone staircase between the two stone walls. This is really the Immortal Cave Mansion, it's amazing!"

Humpty Dumpty had already walked more than ten steps at this time, and when he heard the old man surnamed Huang admire, he laughed and said, "If it is not such a place, how can it be said to be a seclusion? ”

The three of them walked up the stone steps and slowly walked towards the summit. The stone steps twist and turn around the stone wall, and sometimes there is no road in front of you, but you only walk two or three steps, only to find another passage around the corner. It's just that the stone steps are less than two feet wide, and on the right side is the abyss, and if you stumble, you will fall. In addition, the mountain wind was cold, and the clothes of the three people were whirring, so the three of them were extremely careful when walking.

Before walking up the stone steps, Li Qiufeng had already tied the quilt wrapped around Zhu Shishi's youngest son behind his back, and this stone step was the road he was very familiar with back then. Although he staggered in the cold wind and looked thrilling, he did not panic in the slightest. Humpty Dumpty was carrying two large bags of luggage on his back, and he walked very steadily step by step, and he looked like he was walking on the ground. The old man surnamed Huang walked in the middle, and every step was extremely careful. just looked at Humpty Dumpty's walking very smoothly, and thought to himself, Brother Liu's literary talent and martial arts, few people in the world can match it. It's a pity that such a great figure became a hermit in Shu Mountain. There is such a great sage missing in the world, it's a pity, it's a pity.

The three of them walked along the stone steps for more than half an hour before reaching the peak. By this time it was already dark, and it was dimly visible that there were several rooms in the depths of the peak. Humpty Dumpty laughed and said, "We're finally back." Put down your luggage later, blanch a pot of wine first, and let's have a drink!"
