Chapter 3 Empty the enemy's warehouse
Chapter 3 Empty the enemy’s warehouse
An Guohou Mansion occupies an area of about fifty acres and plays a very important role in Yundu, a city where every inch of land is precious.
For Ziyu, who has experienced many battles, this courtyard is a piece of cake regardless of its height and defense.
Like a monkey, the purple jade climbs up the roof of the Anguo Hou Mansion, which is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It aims at the brightest courtyard and flashes away. The ghostly figure blows by like the breeze.
The heavily guarded courtyard is unusual at first glance. Ziyu, who likes challenges, knows that this must be the most important place in the house.
Wherever he passed, packs of strong, colorless and odorless cigarette smoke were scattered, and the night watchers fell asleep without any reaction.
"Cracks ~ Bao ~ Huhu!"
The sound of sparks exploding was accompanied by the sound of grunting. A petite black figure took out a bunch of keys from the waist of a huge man, with a slight curl in the corner of his mouth.
It really takes no effort at all!
The courtyard looks ordinary on the outside, but there is something special inside.
When the heavy iron door was pushed open, there was no feeling of sluggishness at all.
The top-notch delicacies from all over the world are displayed on shelves as high as the roof in the approximately 50-square-meter house.
There are things that swim in the sea, fly in the sky, and there are also rare treasures from deep mountains and old forests. What surprised Ziyu the most was a shelf full of caviar in glass jars.
Hundred-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were thrown carelessly into the big frame in the corner. Only those that were thousands of years old had a place on the shelf.
with I m afraid not even the high-ranking emperor would have that much.
In an instant, the room full of delicacies disappeared together with the shelves.
Because time was tight, Ziyu ran around like flying after entering, and everything entered her big villa.
There are seawater pearls as big as dragon eyes, seven or eight two-meter-high red corals, two three-meter-high giant jade landscape sculptures, red gold Buddha statues, and emerald gold crowns...
All kinds of high-quality jewelry, jade ornaments, ancient books, ancient calligraphy and paintings make Ziyu, who is used to seeing good things from later generations, smile from ear to ear.
The best pearls and jade are in front, and the exquisite and luxurious silk and satin are not that outstanding, but they are still within her range.
The things of the nine -room warehouse were scratched, and the gold and silver and a grain of the box were not seen. It was obviously unconventional.
She stood in the yard and looked around. She found that the foundation was higher than an ordinary yard, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.
…
The door to the basement slowly opened a crack, and Ziyu stepped in.
Lighted by the night pearls on the wall, there were large black wooden boxes on the floor. She opened the nearest box.
The boxes full of silver ingots were without any markings. At a glance, there were 500 black boxes, and Ziyu took them for himself without any ceremony.
In the second basement, the golden light almost blinded her titanium alloy eyes. There was a box full of unmarked gold ingots.
There are twenty ingots on one floor, fifty liang each, and one box is placed according to the standard of five floors.
Two hundred sandalwood boxes, purple jade drooling with joy, flashed by without seeing her teeth, and put them all into the bag.
The thirty large boxes of gold and silver barley, peanuts, and beans in the corner were not that outstanding, but were accepted by Ziyu in line with the principle of not wasting.
The third and fourth basements were filled with weapons and armors glowing with cold light. Ziyu immediately understood that the Anguo Hou Mansion had bad intentions.
This is a rebellion!
No wonder she collected a huge amount of gold and silver, but didn’t see a single silver note. Logically speaking, gold and silver notes would be easier to hide and carry.
This time it’s all at her advantage!
Ziyu collected half of the weapons for later use, so he had to leave some thoughts for the rebels.
In the last basement, bright yellow and red gold brocade python dragon robes, crowns, phoenix robes, and phoenix crowns once again confirmed Ziyu's suspicion.
Ziyu waved her hand and put all these things into her pocket. She wanted to sneak into the second lady's yard and kill her with one knife.
After seeing the collection in the Hou Mansion, Ziyu changed her mind. Her second target was Anguo Hou's study. Controlled by the strong smoke, Hou Fu snored loudly, making Ziyu's mouth twitch and speed up her movements without any hindrance.
Sweeping through the study room in the main courtyard without leaving any paper behind, I searched for the darkroom hidden behind the wall.
Boxes of account books, letters to and from officials in various governments, and gift lists.
There is a large-scale map of Baiyun Kingdom on the wall, with detailed descriptions of the surrounding countries and terrain.
“Finally I came across something useful, thanks old thief!”
Ziyu, who had emptied the study room, did not go to collect the belongings from the main courtyards, but went straight to the pharmacy and the big kitchen of the Hou Mansion.
After finding the pharmacy after smelling it, nothing was left, including a few flowers in bloom in the garden.
The large kitchen contains nearly 300 sacks of rice, flour, grains and oil, and half a room contains soy sauce, vinegar, tea, sugar, and various seasonings and dry goods.
Half the room was empty of pots and pans, not even the firewood and spades were spared.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ziyu and the others disappeared into Anguohou's Mansion, inserting an iron gun into the plaque on the gate as they left.
Dragon robes and phoenix robes were hung on the gun barrels, and there were several large boxes containing account books and letters on the ground.
Ziyu jumped up to the roof and led the soldiers and horses patrolling the city to the Anguo Hou Mansion. After seeing them discovering the stolen goods, they hurriedly reported it and then left.
…
At the north gate, there was a murmur of a spooky ghost house...
The girl in somewhat dirty mourning clothes was carrying a covered backpack, with a pair of ignorant eyes exposed through the gap in the backpack.
Ziyu dragged the creaking carriage out of the ghost house and was the first in line at the gate of the North Gate.
“Hey, little girl, who are you dragging? Why is it so smelly?” The night guard at the city gate covered his mouth and nose and asked from a distance.
“Master Bing, these are my parents—Mei Cang and his wife from Jimin Medicine Hall. The daughter of the people took them back to their hometown for burial.
It is a helpless act to dirty the mouth and nose of Lord Bing. Please be accommodating and open the city gate, Lord Bing! "Zi Yu lowered her head and said respectfully.
Pedestrians arriving one after another were two meters away from Ziyu, and they all shook their heads in sympathy.
“Master Bing, please be accommodating! Dr. Mei has been kind to people throughout his life, has excellent medical skills and is willing to give charity.
It’s just that good people don’t live long, they die in an unclear manner, and there’s no one who can redress their grievances. "The old man who looked like a master stuck his head out of the carriage and said.
"Master Bing, if you want to make things convenient for others and yourself, you have parents at home." The young scholar accompanying him boldly persuaded.
Everyone felt sad, but they knew very well what kind of existence the Anguo Hou Mansion was in Yundu, so they could only sweep away the snow in front of their doors.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were well-informed and had heard about it for a long time. They looked up and saw that the time was almost the same, so they didn't care to open the city gate a little earlier.
"Creak!" The heavy city gate was pushed open by the combined efforts of four soldiers, and Ziyu pulled the carriage and passed by.
"Miss Mei, don't go back to Yundu again!" the soldier who asked the question whispered.
“Thank you Bingye for reminding me!”
People queuing up to enter the city shunned when they smelled the rotten smell. The dilapidated cars gradually disappeared into the pre-dawn darkness under the gaze of everyone.
“Close the door! Close the door! No entry or exit is allowed under the orders from the peak, otherwise you will be punished as a traitor!”
A horse riding Juechen came galloping over, the soldiers waving red flags shouted loudly, and the city gate slowly closed, blocking the panicked sight from inside and outside.
