Chapter 12 If I can take you into the palace, can you empty the treasury?
But Ran Qingxuan couldn't just say that he had a space and could put things in it...
Gu Yanchen saw the embarrassed look on his face. He sighed slightly, and his tone softened a lot when he spoke.
"If this secret is important to you, it's okay if you don't want to tell it."
He changed the subject and continued.
"I have always done things with a clear conscience, but now a villain is causing trouble. My mother and several sisters-in-law are kind people, and I don't want them to be hurt because of you!"
It’s not that Gu Yanchen didn’t believe her, but he couldn’t and didn’t dare to gamble his entire family’s lives on one person’s heart.
"You can rest assured about this. I have no ill will towards the Gu family, your mother, or your sisters-in-law."
Ran Qingxuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Gu Yanchen was always thinking about his family, which proved that he had love in his heart.
He probably warned her because he saw her incredible side. If he really trusted her completely, Ran Qingxuan would have to think carefully about whether there was any need for them to continue to get along.
Faced with such a person, Ran Qingxuan could understand his good intentions and thought that perhaps he could reveal a little bit of his true colors.
After all, it was exile, not travel. The supplies she looted in the space would have to be used one day. She couldn't always make excuses to avoid it. It would definitely arouse suspicion over time.
What they need now is trust. Once doubt arises, Ran Qingxuan himself will find it difficult to move forward.
After pondering for a moment, Ran Qingxuan said seriously.
"You are indeed right. This secret is very important to me, but I can guarantee that this secret will not become a sharp blade against the Gu family.
You respect my decision, and I can honestly tell you that the theft in the Gu family warehouse was indeed related to me, but my starting point is good. Rather than being copied by a cheap dog emperor, it is better to become our confidence on the road to exile. ”
Having said all, Ran Qingxuan did not want to say more.
Gu Yanchen's eyes never left Ran Qingxuan's face during the whole process. He saw the truth in Ran Qingxuan's eyes. If she really had ulterior motives, she would not have gone to so much trouble to help the Gu family that was about to fall from grace.
But he was really curious about how she took the things out of the warehouse.
The two reached a consensus tacitly, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became quiet.
Thinking of something, Gu Yanchen asked tentatively.
"If I can take you into the palace, can you empty the treasury?"
Ran Qingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up. This was exactly what she wanted. She never expected that Gu Yanchen's idea was exactly the same as hers.
That is the national treasury, the national treasury of a country. The good things there may be dozens of times more than that of a Gu Mansion!
Although the space is just a square one now and the usable space is not large, it is still more than enough to hold the supplies of more than a dozen Gu families.
And since they are exiled, it is very likely that their whole family will not come back. After emptying the national treasury, they can completely create their own little world!
Seeing that Gu Yanchen really did not ask any further questions, Ran Qingxuan also believed that he would not continue to explore her secrets in the future. If there was a situation that really had to happen in the future, she would not have to cover it up alone.
but...
Looking at his legs, Ran Qingxuan said worriedly: "Your injuries and your legs..."
"It's okay, it's my left leg that's injured. As long as I'm careful and use my right leg to exert force, it should be basically fine!"
After saying that, Gu Yanchen stood up swiftly, but his slightly furrowed brows betrayed that he was enduring pain at the moment.
Ran Qingxuan walked forward worriedly and took out a dose of adrenaline from his sleeve.
"This medicine will relieve your pain for a short period of time, and you will return to normal, but you will have to rest for a few days afterwards..."
"Sure. If I act too normal during the house search, I'll be suspected!"
So Ran Qingxuan did not hesitate and injected adrenaline into his leg.
Unable to feel anything for the time being, Gu Yanchen swiftly opened the wardrobe and changed into a nightgown. When he was looking for Ran Qingxuan, he saw her taking out a set of torn black clothes with an embarrassed look on her face.
"This seems to be my underwear..."
Ran Qingxuan didn't respond, turned around and walked into the inner room to change.
After coming out, Gu Yanchen picked up a dagger and put it on, then took Ran Qingxuan out of the room.
As soon as the two of them left, Ran Qingxuan felt his waist tighten, and then he flew out like an arrow from Li Xuan...
Modern people who experience this situation for the first time are a little scared.
"If you're scared, you can... hold me!"
Feeling the stiffness in Ran Qingxuan's body, Gu Yanchen spoke somewhat unnaturally beside her head.
His body kept floating in the air, and Ran Qingxuan opened his eyes curiously and looked around. In his previous life, whether he was a field doctor or a peacekeeping soldier, they faced the same thing. Once they encountered danger, they all had to fight.
She thought that her close combat skills were not bad, but compared with the ancient martial arts, they were far behind.
"Your medicine is amazing. I feel like my body is back to the way it was before I was injured!"
The speed was getting faster and faster, Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but say worriedly.
"You'd better take it easy, otherwise the wound will burst open!"
Not long after he finished speaking, Gu Yanchen brought her to a dilapidated temple behind the imperial city.
In the middle of the night, Ran Qingxuan felt nervous as he looked at the somewhat eerie and dilapidated temple.
Gu Yanchen thought she was scared, and subconsciously comforted her: "Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts here!"
Ran Qingxuan said seriously: "What's there to be afraid of ghosts? Every scary ghost is someone that others miss day and night but can never see!"
Gu Yanchen paused, pondered over this sentence again and again, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Fortunately, due to the cover of night, Ran Qingxuan didn't notice anything, otherwise according to her personality, she would definitely make fun of me.
But every word she said seriously shocked him, and he couldn't help but doubt her identity!
But thinking about their previous conversation, Gu Yanchen suppressed his curiosity.
Business was more important. After Gu Yanchen took her into the dilapidated temple, he skillfully pulled away the bricks on the back of the Buddha statue, and a dark tunnel naturally appeared in front of them.
Gu Yanchen explained in a low voice: "This tunnel is connected to the national treasury."
"How did you find out?"
Subconsciously asking, Gu Yanchen replied with a curled mouth: "I won't ask you, and you can't ask me, this is agreed upon!"
The fist he swung out landed on himself again, but Ran Qingxuan finally held back.
Gu Yanchen led her into the pitch-black tunnel, looking very familiar with the place. Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but complain in her heart.
"This guy must have really sold out his country, otherwise how could he walk so skillfully..."
No matter what he thought, Ran Qingxuan was still willing to believe that Gu Yanchen was not such a person, and there must be other reasons that led to the discovery of this secret passage.
