A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

The biggest purpose of my trip to Jiangnan this time is to visit the most famous library in Jiangbei Town.

From the Empress Dowager giving Lin Qingyang a hairpin to the trip to the temple, everything was done to find this treasure in Jiangnan.

The treasure that Lin Qingyang and Prince Xiao An talked about does exist, but the mission the emperor gave them was not about finding the treasure. It was all a message to the mute girl. As long as the message was passed on, those people’s target would no longer be Prince Xiao An.

Prince Xiao An and Lin Qingyang were just strolling around as usual, without many followers around them. The spies who had been following them for many days had relaxed their vigilance.

People are like this. When you repeat your previous habits, others will get used to it, but they don’t know that when you relax, others are getting ready to make some moves.

The officials of Jiangbei Town did not have the background and ability of the officials of Jiangnan Town, and they just completed the tasks assigned by their superiors. They reported the itinerary of Xiao An Wang truthfully without making too many guesses.

The town was not particularly big, but it had a strong academic atmosphere. Since Lin Qingyang and Xiao Anwang liked "elegant" places, the managers of various academies and libraries were very cooperative with them.

When Prince Xiao An and Lin Qingyang came to the largest local library for the second time, there were no other followers around them. After all, it was not their first time here and they no longer needed "navigation".

"The last time we came here, we had a pretty good idea of ​​the terrain. The area with the Buddhist scriptures should be the only place where mechanisms can be hidden." Little Prince An pretended to look at the books on the shelf next to him and whispered to Lin Qingyang.

Lin Qingyang was flipping through a book that he had just taken off the shelf and responded, "Yes, their vigilance today is obviously not as good as last time. Let's hurry up."

After saying that, the two of them looked around and walked towards the area where the Buddhist scriptures were placed.

When the two came for the first time, there was a person in charge of taking care of them, but this time there was no one. Generally, there were not many people in the library. After all, ordinary people would come here to "play" casually.

When he first came here, Xiao An Wang memorized the structure of all the areas and had a topographical map in his mind. When he went to other places to play, he asked his secret guards to check whether there were other people guarding the library. Now that he confirmed that there were no other people, he returned again.

Xiao An Wang walked in front, leading the way, and Lin Qingyang followed behind him. After twists and turns, they arrived at the Buddhist scripture area. The two of them observed it carefully, turned it over, and looked for the mechanism.

Since it is here, we will definitely find it.

Where there are books, move them; where there is a wall, knock on it.

Finally, Lin Qingyang saw an inconspicuous "hole" at the intersection of the two cabinets.

I don’t know if the person in charge deliberately used a cabinet to “cover up” the hole, but if you don’t look carefully, this irregular “hole” is hard to be found, and even if you find it, you won’t think it is a keyhole.

Prince Xiao An slightly moved the two cabinets next to him.

Lin Qingyang took off her hairpin and poked it into the irregular "hole". Lin Qingyang turned the key, and then there was a "click" sound. In the hidden corner next to her, the bottom cabinet moved.

Many of the cabinets in the library are integrated, very tall and large, so Lin Qingyang and Xiao Anwang also thought that the cabinets around them were integrated, and they did not find any difference even when they checked just now.

After the cabinet was moved, a secret passage appeared underneath.

It turns out the secret room is downstairs.

After the door of the secret room was opened, the key popped out. Lin Qingyang took back the hairpin and put it on her head. The two of them entered the secret room one after the other.

This secret room is small, with the entrance on the mezzanine between two floors. Down below is a well-hidden storage room, and the secret room is under the library.

There are few people in this place, and there are piles of books and various tall shelves all around, so it is really not easy for people to notice that the space has been "stolen".

There is another door before entering the secret room as a double guarantee.

I think it might not be a coincidence that they came here. They must know about the treasure, so this door is built very exquisitely, and this stone must not be an ordinary stone.

The two men looked for the switch near the stone door again.

Lin Qingyang touched the stone door and actually felt it was somewhat warm. It seemed that this stone was "warm in winter and cool in summer". Since there was no sunlight in the secret room all day, it did not feel cool to the touch, but rather had some temperature.

Little King An tapped on the wall while the two men searched carefully. After all, the space was not big and everything looked very ordinary, so there could only be some mechanism.

Little An Wang raised his hand and stood on tiptoe to reach the high place. Lin Qingyang looked at Little An Wang, who was much taller than him, groping on tiptoe and said, "It's impossible to be in such a high place. After all, the people who designed the mechanism should also consider the height of others!"

As soon as Lin Qingyang finished speaking, Xiao Wang An touched something, took out a key from his arms, stood on tiptoe to insert the key, and the door opened.

Lin Qingyang was dumbfounded. Was this short person unworthy of finding the treasure? Why was the keyhole so high? How tall was the original designer?

Lin Qingyang's frustrated and angry expression was seen by King Xiao An.

"Don't be angry, this is within your reach!" Little Prince An said with a smile.

After the door of the secret room was opened, Lin Qingyang took out two handkerchiefs, one to cover his own mouth and nose, and the other to King Xiao An, asking him to cover his mouth and nose in the same way as himself. Then the two of them put on gloves.

There was a special fragrance in the secret room, and the sachets and utensils that Lin Qingyang had prepared in advance came in handy. Since it was a treasure, it was not heavily guarded and had no deadly mechanisms, so would there be any other protection?

The fragrance in this treasure is not highly toxic, but it is strongly hallucinogenic. If you smell it too much, you will easily have hallucinations. The handkerchief prepared by Lin Qingyang has been soaked in medicine in advance, which can isolate the interference of the medicine and keep herself awake.

Wearing gloves is because you are worried that the treasure items are poisonous. It is better to be preventive and try to avoid exposing your skin to the air in the secret room.

After the two people entered the secret room, they did not see the glittering scenes of "gold, silver, jewelry" and "rare curios" in the picture book. They only saw two large boxes and a small box placed in a corner, which looked a bit out of place.

The two men opened the boxes. The two large boxes were full of gold, and the small box had some jewels, but on top were a few books and a letter.

The envelope was not sealed. The two of them opened the letter. It was left by someone from the Wang family. Judging from the content, it might have been written by someone of the same generation as the Queen Mother's father.

"The things were left behind by the Wang family. The two boxes of gold are not important, but the three books are the most valuable of the treasure. Most of the gold and silver are left in the capital, and these books are related to the country. No wonder the emperor has been looking for them for so many years."

After Prince Xiao An finished speaking, the two of them went to look at the three books. They were curious about what books the emperor had been thinking about for so long.
