Feng Jianqingli pointed to the cave and said, "There is something in the cave."
The further they went into the cave, the more gold they found. In the end, it was almost everywhere and there was no way they could pick it all up!
There are also some scattered large mahogany boxes, which were probably used to store gold, and the locks on them have long been rusted.
At the innermost part of the cave, there were rows of grain piled up, but it had already become moldy and hairy, and some of the grain bags were broken, leaving the ground covered with rice.
Shi Shaowen looked around, then looked at the inner wall of the cave, and patted his head, "I know, this is where the rebel Tang Zhi stores his food!"
Wu Zhengqing also suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes! It must be!"
Gu Wei frowned, "What traitor? I have never heard of him."
Shi Shaowen explained: "Tang Zhi was a rebel during the reign of the previous emperor and was once a county magistrate in Lingnan.
I only remember that he was very arrogant in Lingnan because he was far away from home. Later, the late emperor sent troops to wipe him out in less than half a month. I don’t know much about the details, so I didn’t expect it to be Sinan County! "
Gu Wei asked, "Is it the twenty-seventh year of Tianbao?"
Wu Zhengqing recalled and nodded, "That should be it. I remember I was exactly seven years old at that time."
Gu Wei now understood.
At that time, he was with his father in Mobei, practicing martial arts and studying military books every day. He was as tired as a dog, so he didn't have much impression of this incident.
He only remembered that a good friend of his father suddenly left Mobei, saying that the emperor had ordered him to destroy the rebels, and it seemed that the one to be destroyed was Tang Zhi.
That is why the Sinan County Magistrate’s Mansion was built in such a desolate alley and connected to a mountain. It is probably a house specially built by Tang Zhi for training troops.
The unknown graffiti that Xie Ling had seen in the garden before also had an explanation. Tang Zhi might have some allies or brothers, and the graffiti was drawn specifically for his brother, wanting to tell his brother that the food and gold ingots were hidden in the green hills behind.
Feng Jianqingli sighed, "Tang Zhi's soldiers are not good, but he is very rich! There are so many gold ingots and food. It seems that this place is too hidden, so the court of Beijiang did not find this grain storage place."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of rushing water coming from the front. It was very violent and hit the inner wall of the cave, like the roar of a wild beast.
Xie Ling shouted, "Run out! There might be a flood!"
Everyone hurried to run outside, but they were still a step too late. The surging flood swept everyone up and rushed out of the cave. They fell on the grass outside the cave and lay together with the gold ingots.
Everyone didn't feel any pain, but they were all wet and choked on the water a few times. Wu Zhengqing didn't know how to drink water and he kept coughing.
The water in the cave was icy cold. When the wind blew and the rain fell, it chilled me to the core and made me shiver.
Xie Ling wiped the water off her face and said, "It must be because of the heavy rain. The water level of the underground river in the cave rose, and when it was full, it rushed out of the cave, so the gold ingots were also washed out."
Gu Wei said: "Then let's put these gold ingots here first. No one will come. Come back another day to get them."
"So where are we going now?" Shi Shaowen asked.
"There are people in this mountain." Jiangxue, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's back began to shiver.
People are always afraid of unknown things.
Jiangxue looked towards the distant south, a trace of worry between her brows, "Xiaobai is in danger, it should have been caught by someone!"
"Let's go and save it." Xie Ling said immediately.
Jiangxue waved her hand and lowered her eyelashes, "No, I'll go by myself. I don't want to delay you."
"What do you mean by delay?" Gu Wei frowned. "You are our friend. Although Xiaobai is just a snake, he is also our partner. Stop talking nonsense and let's go."
