"I only know the approximate location. No one is as sure as the girl."
"Oh, why is that?"
He goes in and out so often, yet only knows the approximate location, so what's behind the cliff is very suspicious.
"He was just a small leader. He always just handed over the supplies outside and never went in."
"oh."
Chen Li responded and said no more. There was something weird about the situation. If it weren't for what happened today, she would never have gotten involved.
Soon, under the leadership of Shen Li, the group stopped in front of a mountain wall. The mountain wall was steep and there was a lot of moss growing on it.
"Is this the place?"
Pei Yu looked at the stone wall in front of him. It looked like an ordinary mountain wall, but Miss Shen was so sure about it, so it must be special.
He bent his finger and gestured backwards, and the secret guards on horseback dismounted and walked forward to search carefully in front of the mountain wall.
Chen Li has used his mental power to detect that there is a stone door on the mountain wall, and the connection between the stone door and the mountain wall is very hidden and difficult to notice.
Sure enough, seeing that his men hadn't found it for a long time, Pei Yu looked at Chen Li who was calm beside him and asked, "Miss, can you help me next time?"
Chen Li nodded, "Okay, okay. If Master Wei finds some money in there later, don't forget to give me some."
"good."
Hearing his agreement, Chen Li drove the horse over, picked up the water bag hanging on the horse, and poured it towards a stone wall.
Pei Yu saw her heading straight for that place and followed her.
After Miss Shen poured the water, he already knew what was going on. He didn't expect that they would spend so much effort on it, and that this stone gate could be mistaken for the real thing.
Chi Yan took two steps back, Pei Yu stepped forward and slapped the stone door with one palm. Soon the stone door moved away, revealing a dark passage inside.
Chen Li covered her nose with her hands. The smell in the passage was not pleasant, and there was also a fishy smell of iron.
Chen Li glanced at the person beside her calmly. It seemed that this was a very tricky situation.
An Yi waved his hand, and about 200 secret guards appeared behind him. They were all wearing uniform clothes with a pattern of auspicious clouds embroidered on their collars, which was very unique.
An Yi led his men in first, and the injured Tian Qing was still following Pei Yu.
“Miss Shen, come in and take a look?”
Chen Li nodded his chin towards the passage, indicating that he should go first. Pei Yu rode in front, Chen Li followed behind him, and Tian Qing stayed behind, closing the stone gate.
As soon as the stone door was closed, the view inside the passage became even darker, but Tianqing behind him quickly lit a torch and the view became bright again.
This passage is quite wide and can accommodate a carriage. It took a lot of effort to open such a passage in the mountain wall. It seems that the water here is very deep!
Chen Li didn't want to come in, but if she retreated at this time, the unlucky guy would inevitably speculate whether she knew something. It would be better to come in openly and dispel the unlucky guy's suspicion.
This passage is not long, only about 300 meters, and you will soon reach the end.
I didn't expect that there was a valley inside this mountain. The valley was surrounded by mountains of varying sizes, and the entire valley was lush and green.
There is a lake in the middle of the valley, and on both sides of the lake there are many fields planted with crops.
Seeing this scene, everyone thought that this might be a secluded place, but the iron smell coming from the passage just now was not fake, it was just an illusion.
At this moment, the tranquility of the valley was disrupted by their group, and An Yi had already led people to capture someone.
All they saw before them were women and children, and the old and young looked very deceptive, but there was not a single adult male, or rather, not a single able-bodied man, which was very strange.
An Yi and his men acted quickly, tying up the man in no time and heading back to the mountain with him.
After a while, An Yi appeared in front of Pei Yu, "Master, I suddenly found a cave."
"Um."
Pei Yu looked at Chen Li, "Miss Chen, do you want to go with us?"
"No need, the scenery in this valley is very beautiful, I'll just take a stroll here."
Chen Li got off the horse, and Chi Yan walked to the side to eat grass. Meeting Pei Yu's indifferent eyes, the girl had an indifferent smile on her face.
"Knowing too much about some things is not good for me and my family. What do you think, Master Wei?"
Pei Yu's eyes flashed with a faint smile, "That girl is free to do as she pleases."
After watching them lead their men away, Chen Li started to stroll around here, walked to the lake, picked a handful of tender gray vegetables, and took them back to eat in the evening.
As we walked, we came to the thatched houses. Most of the houses in the valley are thatched houses, but there are a few exceptions, near the back mountain, where there are rows of blue brick and tile houses.
Pei Yu left two people to guard the women, children, the elderly and the young. Because of his words "it's up to you", his two men did not stop Chen Li.
Chen Li walked into the thatched hut and disappeared from their sight.
The two men hesitated for a moment but still did not go forward. The girl was alone, what could she take away?
Moreover, the master had already spoken, and they dared not stop him, because the master now hated people who disobeyed orders and betrayed him the most.
These rooms are all locked, but what is inside cannot escape Shen Li's eyes.
Chen Li looked at the things inside with her eyes shining. Counting from the right to the left, the first tiled house to the third house were filled with grain, both coarse rice and refined rice, filling the entire house.
Next is a room filled with jewelry and other items. It looks quite messy and may have been obtained by these people through robbery.
The room next to the jewelry was filled with silver, and then there was a room full of boxes of gold bars. The amount was enough to make anyone excited.
The next few rooms were filled with weapons, including knives, swords, spears, arrows, etc., and there were quite a few of them.
The doors were all locked. Chen Li used her mental strength to defend them, then summoned a wooden vine and pushed a small crack open on the window to get in.
Although Pei Yu promised to reward himself, there were too many things here, and Chen Li was just an ordinary person, so it was hard not to be tempted.
Besides, without her guidance, these people would have to waste a lot of effort to get in, so it is only right for her to collect some compensation.
Chen Li collected six boxes of gold bars in the gold house. There were so many here. Even if Pei Yu knew how many there were, with so many people in the valley, it was inevitable that some would embezzle money. It was normal to have less.
Six boxes of jewelry were collected in the jewelry house, of course from the back. If I collected them from the front, the traces left on the ground would be too obvious.
As for the room full of silver, Chen Li also collected six boxes, which were carefully selected. Most of them were official silver with official seals on them. They were probably used by the court for disaster relief or for other purposes.
But it is obvious that the money has not been put to good use, otherwise it would not be gathering here and gathering dust.
