Yu Xiaoxiao chewed on a glutinous rice ball and followed Gu Xinglang out of the house. She looked back at the blackened courtyard wall and said to Gu Xinglang, "Xiao Gu, did this group of people set fire to the house? Did they really miss the target by accident, or did they just want to burn the house?"
After hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said, Gu Xinglang turned around and looked at the house.
Yu Xiao: "Forget it, let's go back and take another look."
So the young couple returned to the front yard, where there were still many soldiers from the military department. The captain in charge saw Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao coming back, so he ran up to them, bowed and asked, "Princess, Prince Consort, what are you doing?"
Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Which room did they set on fire when they first launched the rocket?"
Yu Xiaoxiao pointed to the left and said, "This is it."
Gu Xinglang and the captain looked at the place where Yu Xiaoxiao pointed. This should have been a side room, but it was different from the other rooms in the courtyard. The other rooms at least still had the frames standing, but this side room was completely in ruins.
"Dig it up and have a look," Gu Xinglang said to the captain.
Yu Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and said, "Don't bother, I'll do it."
Gu Xinglang tried to pull his wife back but failed.
The captain wanted to find an opportunity to show off in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but Her Royal Highness the Princess did not give him this opportunity.
Yu Xiaoxiao walked forward, picked up a big stone and threw it to the open space on the right side of the yard, just like a child throwing stones.
The people in the courtyard were shocked at first and couldn't believe it, but they fell silent in the end. With the princess's strength, she seemed invincible even without practicing martial arts. At this moment, the soldiers and horses became Yu Xiaoxiao's diehard fans, because the men firmly believed that if they went against a person like the princess, they would die miserably.
By the time Gu Xinglang came over to help, Yu Xiaoxiao had already cleared the area.
"Okay," Yu Xiaoxiao dusted off the dust on her hands.
Gu Xinglang...
Yu Xiaoxiao stood in the open space, stepped on the ground, and said to Gu Xinglang, "There is no tunnel underneath.
Gu Xinglang walked to the open space and looked around. A huge fire had burned everything.
Gu Xingnuo, who heard the noise in the front yard, hurried over with his men. When he arrived, he saw a yard of soldiers standing in a daze. The two from his family were standing in an open space, turning around like they were looking for treasure.
"What's going on?" The boss walked up to a soldier and asked.
The soldier pointed to the right side of the courtyard and said, "The princess did it."
The eldest boss looked at where the soldier pointed and said, "Were those scraps thrown by the princess?"
The soldier nodded.
The former pirates didn't feel anything about this. They had seen Her Royal Highness the Princess throwing houses for fun, so they could just ignore throwing stones or something like that.
Gu Xingnuo walked to the open space and asked Gu Xinglang: "What's wrong?"
Gu Xinglang said: "There may be something hidden here."
Young Master Gu’s brows suddenly furrowed.
Yu Xiaoxiao dug here and there with a dagger in her hand, but found nothing. The princess lost her patience and said to Gu Xinglang and Gu Xingnuo, "Xiao Gu, big brother, you guys step back first, I'll turn the ground over."
The eldest brother came over with his brothers. After hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said, he said, "Princess, can you farm?"
Yu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. Xiong Xiong was not very good at fighting and was always nagging. She didn't know why the Li family girl would fall for such a guy. (Don't think about your Li family girl at this time!)
“Let’s go,” Gu Xingnnuo pulled Gu Xinglang away.
The big bosses stepped back consciously.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood at the edge of the clearing, clenched her fists, and punched the ground hard.
Everyone heard a loud "bang" and then the whole yard began to fly with dust. Everyone was caught off guard and choked and coughed.
Gu Xinglang ran to Yu Xiaoxiao without waiting for the raised mud to settle back to the ground.
"Look, Xiao Gu," Yu Xiaoxiao pointed forward.
A wooden box was revealed when the ground was turned over. It was not large in size, but the patterns of birds and animals carved on it were very exquisite.
Gu Xingnuo also walked over to the young couple at this time, and when he saw the wooden box, he said, "It's made of golden nanmu."
As an outsider from another world, Yu Xiaoxiao was completely ignorant of the value of golden nanmu and said, "Yes, it's made of wood."
Gu Xinglang said: "I'll go over and take a look."
Yu Xiao: "You don't have to do it, I'll do it."
Young Master Gu wanted to shout "Be careful, there's a trap", but the little Jade Man had already arrived in front of the wooden box and reached out to open the lid.
"Princess!" Gu Xinglang shouted as he chased after Yu Xiaoxiao.
There was a copper lock hanging on the wooden box, but this was not an obstacle for Yu Xiaoxiao. Yu Xiaoxiao lifted up the lid of the box, and the copper lock shattered like paper. The lid was opened, and hundreds of ox-hair needles shot out from the box.
Yu Xiaoxiao heard something flying out of the wooden box. She didn't see what it was, so she raised her hand and waved it. A flash of lightning appeared out of nowhere and instantly turned hundreds of dark green cow-hair needles that were obviously poisonous into powder.
The people present only saw a flash of extremely bright light where Yu Xiaoxiao was, and saw nothing else.
Yu Xiaoxiao solved the poison needle, and Gu Xinglang also came to Yu Xiaoxiao's side. Looking at the black layer of powder on the ground, he asked anxiously: "What is this?"
Yu Xiao: "There was a mechanism in the box, and I broke it."
Gu Xinglang said: "Is it that, that firelight?"
Yu Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes and said, "No, it's my martial arts, the kind that can smash rocks with one punch. Xiao Gu, haven't you seen it?"
Gu Xinglang..., well, no matter what kind of mechanism it is, it will definitely end up being destroyed if it encounters his wife's fist.
The top of the wooden box was covered with a piece of white cloth. Yu Xiaoxiao lifted the cloth and saw a copper bell and two black porcelain bottles that were less than half the length of a child's little finger.
Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang were stunned when they saw the brass bell. This was not the first time they had seen this small brass bell with carved patterns. Yu Xiaoxiao took out the wind chime that Gu Xinglang gave her from her belt. The small brass bells she got from the Bodhi Temple were hung on this string of wind chimes. However, Yu Xiaoxiao thought it was too noisy, so she stuffed cotton into each bell.
"They are exactly the same," Yu Xiaoxiao compared the two bells and muttered to Gu Xinglang, "Mo Wen also has one, the one we saw in Zhuque. Is this some kind of order from their Eternal Life Temple, or a token of trust?"
Gu Xinglang reached out and touched the copper bell that Yu Xiaoxiao placed in her palm, and whispered, "Ask Wen Fenglin and we'll know."
Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "He may not know. His master, that bald guy, kept many things from him."
Gu Xinglang picked up the copper bell from Yu Xiaoxiao's hand. At this time, a gust of wind blew and the copper bell made a "ding-dong" sound.
