Quickly wear: I am looking for my owner in the human world

Gu Xingyun finally asked the last question.

"About that secret book, is it time for Your Highness to give an explanation? For this reason, my sister-in-law has been under house arrest for half a month."

Zhao Yu looked ashamed, "It was indeed my negligence that caused Xu'er to suffer."

He sighed, "Actually, I know that Qi Qingfeng deliberately used that secret book as a gimmick, just to attract other people who knew its secrets, but even so, he still had to take the bait."

"Otherwise, it would be fine if he has no other thoughts. If he really hides his ambitions, or simply cooperates with Zhou Yi, then he will be in big trouble."

Gu Xingyun's eyes flashed, "Prince Zhou, Zhou Yi?"

"Exactly."

"Actually, it's not just a secret book, it also contains clues to the treasure."

Ouyang Xu poked his head out from behind Xuan Wei, "What treasure is it?"

Zhao Yu looked at her with a softer expression, "This is the tomb of the former King Xiao."

Ouyang Xu: "Is that the former God of War, King Xiao?"

"Yes."

Ouyang Xu: "But I remember that the history books said that King Xiao and Princess Xiao were deeply in love, and after the world was peaceful, they retired to the mountains and forests together? They were not buried in the imperial mausoleum. What treasures can be found in his tomb?"

"Although there is no gold, silver or jewels, there are priceless treasures." Zhao Yu said solemnly, "People at that time praised Princess Xiao as a strange woman. She came from a scholarly family but was both civilized and military. She often went on expeditions with Prince Xiao, and could lead troops to fight alone. , has the demeanor of being a woman and not giving in to men.”

"She once created a very powerful gunpowder and captured several cities without even a single soldier in the most famous Battle of Linyang. But after that, the mysterious gunpowder disappeared. ”

"According to the deputy general around her, it was because the gunpowder was too bloody and cruel to use, and almost no one survived, so Princess Xiao never made it again. In the end, the method and formula of the gunpowder were also taken to the tomb. Among them, only the descendants of their husband and wife know where their tombs are, and they have been passed down from generation to generation."

"It wasn't until the fall of the previous dynasty that clues about their tombs were exposed. However, by chance, they were split into three parts and scattered in various places in different recording methods. Little is known about them."

"I only found out about this matter three years ago when I accidentally got one of the clues. However, since I was a child, I admired King Xiao for his skill in using soldiers and his lack of intention to disturb his ancestors, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"But not long ago, I found out privately that Zhou Yi frequently sent people to Qilian City, seemingly for a martial arts secret book. I thought it was strange, so I checked it carefully, and found out that the secret book was actually another clue."

"The two countries are currently calm on the surface, but secretly they have been turbulent for a long time. They may fight at any time. If Zhou Yi were to obtain the method of making gunpowder, the consequences would be unimaginable based on his usual ruthless behavior."

Gu Xingyun poured him a glass of water, his face remained calm, "So His Highness is worried that the last clue is in Zhou Yi's hands. If City Lord Qi's share also falls into his hands, he may find the burial place?"

"Thank you." Zhao Yu picked up the cup, took a few sips, and cleared his throat, "It's not that I'm overly worried. In fact, the two copies in my hand... have already pointed out the general location of the tomb."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Zhao Yu pursed his lips and said, "It's right here in Taibai Mountain."

The room was silent for a moment.

After a while, Gu Xingyun broke the deadlock and looked at him with a frown, "Your Highness, you came here just for that tomb?"

"No." Zhao Yu looked sideways at Ouyang Xu and said sincerely, "I came here just because I promised Xu'er that I would come back to find her."

Ouyang Xu's heart skipped a beat at the affectionate look in his eyes, his face turned red, and he retracted his head behind Xuan Wei to hide it.

So this time it was Zhao Yu's turn to look at Xuan Wei with emotion.

Xuan Wei: What are you looking at? Let’s get down to business.

Zhao Yu: ...

He laughed dumbly and turned his head to face Gu Xingyun.

Uh... was it his imagination?Why did Brother Gu's eyes suddenly become cold?

Gu Xingyun: Why are you laughing? Don’t smile at her!

Zhao Yu subconsciously straightened his expression and heard Gu Xingyun ask: "So His Highness is not interested in the things in the tomb?"

Zhao Yu was silent, "It's not that he is not interested at all. After all, it is said that in addition to gunpowder, Princess Xiao also made some other magical weapons. But digging people's graves and disturbing people's peace is not the behavior of a gentleman. My original intention of grabbing the secret book was just I don’t want it to fall into the hands of the Zhou royal family, lest all living beings be devastated.”

"Your Highness is indeed a benevolent and righteous general." Gu Xingyun praised him, then changed the subject, "I just came out of Qilian City not long ago, and I discovered something interesting."

He spoke interestingly, but his tone was calm and gentle, "There has been a sudden increase in the number of caravans coming and going in Qilian City, transporting more rice, grains and herbs, but the extra goods are not in the shops in the city. Your Highness thinks, where did they go? "

Zhao Yu was startled, and a trace of darkness flashed across his eyes, as if a storm was about to come.

It's true that we won't be able to calm down for long.

There was a severe cold in the State of Zhao at the end of last year. Snow and hail fell for several days, reaching a depth of five feet. People and horses were unable to move, many people froze to death, and countless livestock were lost.He persuaded his father to allocate a large sum of money for disaster relief, but in the end his father did not leave it to him.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but clenched his fists when he thought about this. How much of the money would end up in the hands of the people after passing through the hands of certain people.

As the saying goes, after a big freeze there will be a big drought. If there is another drought this summer, I don’t know if the national treasury can withstand such pretentiousness.

If the enemy country takes advantage of the situation to rob us again at this time, we will really be in danger of internal and external troubles.

The hint in Gu Xingyun's words was so obvious that if he didn't understand it, he would have read the military book in vain.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass first.

Qi Qingfeng must have heard something from Zhou Yi in advance, so he started to hoard these things.Even if he can't use it himself in the end, Qilian City occupies a favorable location, and he can fish in troubled waters and make a fortune that is hard to come by.

An old fox who has been able to survive for many years in the cracks between the two countries and still be alone, don't expect him to have any noble sentiments to save the world.

What's more, Qi Qingfeng might have reached some ulterior deal with Zhou Yi.Of course, if he hadn't been blinded by ambition, he probably wouldn't have done this. After all, the end of seeking skin from a tiger is never much better.

But no matter what, the tiger is already ready to move, and the lion must not sit still and wait to die.

Zhao Yu raised his eyes with a serious expression, "Thanks for the reminder."

Gu Xingyun smiled lightly and said, "No, I'm just sharing some interesting stories."

"There is only one thing, let me ask His Highness one more time." Gu Xingyun looked at him steadily, "Even if you know this, Your Highness has no intention of exploring the tomb?"

After all, if you can really possess that thing, you won't be afraid of the other party at all.

"As long as things don't fall into the hands of the enemy, what's the point of fear?" Zhao Yujian said, "I will fight them if they dare to come."

Ouyang Xu jumped out and raised his fist, "Brother Changhong, don't worry, I will definitely accompany you..."

Gu Xingyun's cool gaze moved over, and she hid back timidly, "...I will definitely cheer you up from behind."

Zhao Yu smiled softly and said, "Okay."

Gu Xingyun's eyes deepened, "Then, please be more careful in your actions in the future. You will have to make ugly remarks. I don't want to see my roommate again and put myself in danger."

Zhao Yu immediately made a solemn promise, and others thought that Gu Xingyun's last question was just a promise for his sister's safety.

The conversation ended and everyone went back to sleep.

Gu Xingyun sent Xuan Wei back to the house. Before she entered, he was about to say something habitual about having a good rest, but was stopped in place by her light words.

"Gu Xingyun, is the last clue in your hands?"
