Chapter 18: Looting the Villa



Gu Beiheng was so frightened that his heart trembled. It was okay if others suffered a catastrophic disaster, but he must not let anything bad happen to Qiqi.

It hurts my heart to think that something might happen to her.

Gu Beiheng lowered his eyes. It seemed that his illness was a bit serious. He just hoped that he could send Su Qi and the child to Jinyang Prefecture safely.

Su Qi curled the corners of her lips. Gu Beiheng was indeed a reliable person.

She turned and walked towards the neatly stacked sacks. Thousands of bags of rice were stacked against the wall. Don't ask how Su Qi knew this.

It says rice on it.

Each area is written differently.

Some are written as wheat, corn, soybean, maize, yellow rice...

Seaweed from the East China Sea, dried preserved vegetables from the Yue region, and dried yak from the Northwest—these things are truly precious. While the Dashun Kingdom forbade the slaughter of cattle, the other small states along the border primarily consumed beef and mutton.

Su Qi estimated that the grain was more than twice the amount in the Ruguo Mansion's granary. Excited, Su Qi ran back and forth in the granary like a spirit, running back and forth twice before collecting everything in each area.

Then he dusted off his hands, opened the door and walked out.

Without leaving any dust.

The moment the door opens.

Gu Beiheng noticed from the corner of his eye that the granary was empty.

He had a smile on his face, he didn't expect that this little woman had such a big secret.

At the same time, it was a bit of a headache. I had to think of a way to prevent outsiders from knowing. Otherwise, I would be guilty of possessing a treasure even though I was innocent.

"Let's go to the warehouse." Gu Beiheng knew Su Qi's intention of coming to the villa, so he naturally took her there because he knew where there were good things.

Su Qi yawned: "Yeah."

The warehouse is not far from the main courtyard.

Obviously, there are more people patrolling.

Su Qi now has an anesthetic gun in his hand, which he will have to rely on at critical moments.

but.

She obviously underestimated Gu Beiheng's strength.

After all, he was a renowned general of the Northwest, and had experience as a scout. How could a small courtyard guard be so difficult for him?

With a few dodges and invisibility, Gu Beiheng easily avoided these people.

He skillfully brought Su Qi to the warehouse door.

"Qiqi, come in."

Su Qi realized that this place was no safer than the granary, as there were many patrols near the warehouse. Afraid that Gu Beiheng would be discovered, she pulled him into the warehouse with one hand.

"Come in."

"But, what about your secret?" Gu Beiheng asked nervously. He was afraid that Su Qi would be punished by God and burned to death by lightning.

If you can't keep the secret, you will be struck by lightning.

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell me, no one will know." Su Qi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of silence.

Gu Beiheng nodded solemnly. His chest was full. He would protect Qiqi's secret with his life.

There are more things in the warehouse of the other courtyard.

There were rows of boxes along the walls.

Gu Beiheng found that his little woman was a little unable to walk. He walked forward to support Su Qi and walked to the front of the box and opened one.

A box full of Dongzhu, each one as big as a longan. ...I took it.

Gu Beiheng watched as a box of dazzling oriental pearls disappeared.

The little woman's hands are magical? Like a bag of magic.

Then he opened another box, revealing a whole box of various jades and jadeite. Su Qi reached out tremblingly. These were the kind of things you'd only see at modern spring and autumn auctions. He took them without hesitation.

A box of rubies and a box of sapphires.

Wen Daozi's paintings, Mu Shan's calligraphy and Arhat paintings, and various bowls, plates, and cups from the Ru kiln. Su Qi's hand cramped.

Not to mention the gold and silver.

The snow lotus of the Snow Mountain, the Ganoderma lucidum of the Tianshan Mountain, the magic grass of the Jade Mountain... Su Qi's hand cramped.

Gu Beiheng's eyes twitched as he watched.

He became more and more certain that the Duke of Ru's Mansion was the work of the little woman in front of him, and couldn't help but grin.

Gu Beiheng, who had originally wanted to sneak over and beat Li Xiangmao up, suddenly decided not to do so. He wanted Li Xiangmao and his father to wake up early tomorrow morning and see the empty courtyard.

Su Qi didn't even let go of the antique display cabinet.

After collecting.

He stretched his hand in front of Gu Beiheng and blinked.

Pouting: "My hands are sore."

"Let me pinch it." Gu Beiheng pinched Su Qi's fingers carefully.

"Qiqi, is there anywhere else you want to go?"

Su Qi raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Go. If you don't make money, you're a bastard."

The male and female thieves seemed to have found a good way to make a fortune. They walked to the door with a ruthless pace, peeking out of the house from top to bottom.

"No one."

Gu Beiheng walked out first, and Su Qi followed him out with small steps.

As soon as she came out, Gu Beiheng grabbed her waist and jumped onto the roof. After a few jumps, she disappeared into the night sky.

The patrolman looked up in confusion, feeling that something was moving in the darkness. But the sky was pitch black, with no moon or stars to be seen.

The night is as dark as a devil's cave.

The patrolling guards suppressed their doubts and continued patrolling with torches in hand.

Gu Beiheng was used to operating in the dark in the Northwest Army camp. He loved doing things in the dark of night.

The two first went to the kitchen storage room.

Su Qi collected everything inside without missing a thing. She couldn't leave behind the basket, hoe, and sickle at the door.

Collected all of these.

Looking at the empty space in the space, a lot of things have been placed in the garage.

But the underground garage is already quite large. Even if all these things were put in, it would only be one-fifth full.

Gu Beiheng sighed softly.

Su Qi nudged Gu Beiheng with her elbow. She felt like they were already like brothers. "Why are you sighing?"

"It's a shame the autumn harvest is only a few days away. I'm afraid these fertile fields will have to yield a lot of grain."

When Su Qi heard this, she was shocked. How could this be possible?

This old guy who takes advantage of others' misfortune even dares to deliberately frame the Duke's Mansion with the dog emperor.

The dog emperor is out of reach, so how can the dogs under him allow him to live a good life?

Things that don't exist.

Su Qi was not sure whether he could store the crops from the fields into the space.

His eyes flashed through several colors as he pondered for a few moments. Su Qi said uncertainly, "I'm not sure if I can take it away. How about we give it a try?"

Gu Beiheng was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll take you to try it."

He held Su Qi in his arms and jumped a few times, passing the houses and rushing towards the fields.

"Qiqi, are you ready?"

The wind blew on Su Qi's face, and she didn't dare to look up. She closed her eyes and reached out to touch the rice in the field, and a strange feeling came over her.

Su Qi could feel the endless flow of rice and straw entering the space.

The rice in the field looked like it had been cut in half.

Gu Beiheng watched all this in astonishment. Unlike Su Qi, he could sense all living things on the ground in the night. He excitedly held Su Qi in his arms as they hurried across the manor of the Duke of Ru's mansion.

Wherever they go, they are like a swarm of locusts.

Gu Beiheng took Su Qi around the fields for an hour, and seeing that it was getting late, and they had to travel tomorrow, Gu Beiheng expanded his circle again.

Su Qi didn't know anything, she just closed her eyes and kept collecting food.

This time my hand really cramped.

"Qiqi, let's go." It would probably take another hour to harvest all the fields.

Gu Beiheng had no choice but to let Su Qi rest and carried her back to the inn.

Halfway through the journey, Su Qi fell asleep.

Perhaps it was a physical reaction, Su Qi almost took Gu Beiheng into the space. Fortunately, Gu Beiheng whispered in her ear and stopped her.

What Su Qi didn't know was that the next day the farmhand was almost scared to death when he went to the field to check the rice.

I asked the person in charge to take a look, and finally found two words on a few plots of land:

"Divine punishment."

The steward hurried into the courtyard to inform the master, and when Li Xiangmao and his son were woken up, they discovered that the warehouse and granary in the courtyard had also been looted. Even the beds, tables, chairs and benches in the other rooms were gone.

The kitchen was completely empty.

"I went to Songshan Temple to find Master Ran." After saying this, Prince Li spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. He stared straight ahead. Could it be that he was really suffering from divine punishment?

Then why is that person sitting peacefully in the Golden Throne Hall?

He refused.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng naturally didn't know what happened in the villa. They were already on their way without stopping.

"You useless piece of shit, get up. Stop being lazy for me. If you want to be lazy, go die. When you die, you don't have to walk." The big bearded man angrily scolded the person who walked slowly with a fierce look on his face.

Everyone in the Gu family was afraid of the bearded man.

This man whips people whenever he disagrees with them.
