Shen Yan slept soundly this time, and when she woke up, she shrank into the quilt in a daze.

It wasn't until a chuckle was heard that the whole person slowly woke up.He opened his eyes, Gu Zhuangcheng was sitting by the bed, looking at him with a smile.

He was clearly the same person as before, but Shen Yan inexplicably saw something else in the other person's eyes.

He was about to take a closer look, but the man turned his head and admired, half-truthfully, "I didn't expect there to be a hole here."

Hearing this, Shen Yan looked around and was stunned for a moment by the dazzling sight.

But after all, he is a person who has lived a life of luxury and poverty, so even the mountains of gold, silver and jewels can't attract him half.

The only thing that surprised him was that the Zhao family's secret road connected to such a treasure land, but for some reason it had not been discovered for so many years.

No, maybe the Zhao family knew something about it, but they couldn't find the place?

Shen Yan didn't want to think about it, what happened to the Zhao family had nothing to do with him.It's just that Zhao Xiaodao and his uncle have plotted against him so much, this account cannot be settled so easily.

However, Gu Zhuangcheng had already got up, and very bluntly selected a few boxes of high-quality jade, stuffed them into his storage ring, and said plausibly: "We have all been tricked here, if there is no benefit , wouldn’t it be too embarrassing to say it? Oh, yes, I saw something that suits you, I’ll look for it..."

Shen Yan was speechless, but she also took it from the opponent's hand like a stream of kindness.

It was a very ordinary-looking wooden box, the size of a book, but it was heavy in the hand.

Shen Yan was caught off guard and was almost crushed to the ground, and she couldn't help being a little surprised after she stabilized her figure.

He looked at the box intently and found that it was carved from a whole piece of Xiling wood.

Xiling wood only grows in Xiling Tianji Mountain, so it is also called "Tianji wood".This kind of wood has its own unique fragrance, it is immortal for thousands of years, it is extremely precious, and it is rare to see it for hundreds of years, but the person who carved the box was generous, he didn't feel sorry for it at all, and used a whole large piece.

Shen Yan couldn't help being a little curious - such a precious piece of wood is actually only used to make a box, so what kind of rare treasures should the things inside be?

Thinking of this, the subordinates were not ambiguous, and directly opened the box.

However, to his disappointment, there was nothing but a thin book in the box.

But he is smart after all, knowing that Gu Zhuangcheng will not give him a broken book for no reason.So he took out the book and opened it for a closer look.

The more he looked, the more serious his expression became.At the end, his chest was heaving and his face was faintly filled with anger.

Gu Zhuangcheng didn't seem to know anything. Seeing him like this, he stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What's written in this book? Why did you get so angry?"

Shen Yan closed the book expressionlessly, thought for a while, and drew a fire to burn it up.

The worry on Gu Zhuangcheng's face didn't seem fake, but Shen Yan didn't dare to believe it anymore.He just burned the book in silence, kicked the ashes away, and then lowered his eyes, avoiding Gu Zhuangcheng's eyes, and whispered: "How should we get out?"

Gu Zhuangcheng's eyes were full of pity, but his voice was calm and steady: "I don't know about it, I haven't had time to find the exit yet. But don't worry, at worst, just blow up the cave again."

Shen Yan could tell that what he said was deliberately making jokes, and wanted to make herself happy.But he couldn't be happy, even if he tried to curl the corners of his lips, it was as if he was in a tense situation.

It shouldn't be like this...

He hung his head, thinking bewilderedly.

It shouldn't be like this.

What was written in that book, Gu Zhuangcheng did not know in advance.He found the box first, but he couldn't open it no matter what.

Therefore, he remembered that this box fell into Shen Yan's hands and was easily opened by him, presumably it should belong to him.

The reason why a secret treasure is called a secret treasure is that it is spiritual, and it is not a person it recognizes. Even if it is obtained, it will be a waste of effort.

Gu Zhuangcheng thought he was unworthy, so he was not too persistent. When Shen Yan woke up, he pretended to have found this thing by accident, and handed it to the other party.

He knew that there was only one book in the box, but he couldn't guess what was written in the book.

He silently followed behind Shen Yan, his face sinking like water.He was still careless, the moment he saw Shen Yan's face change, there was only one thought in his mind.

He didn't take it too seriously, but he and Shen Yan were the only two people in the cave. Shen Yan's expression changed only after reading the book, and when he talked to him later, his expression was even more unkind.

Gu Zhuangcheng had to think a lot, did the things written in that book have something to do with him?

As soon as this thought came out, it was like a torrential river flowing out of control.After a while, it was already dripping with cold sweat.

Shen Yan happened to turn her head at this moment, seeing his pale face and profuse sweat, she was startled immediately: "What's wrong with you? But where was your injury? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Anxiously wanting to see if there was a wound on his body.

Gu Zhuangcheng suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged him, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "When the matter of Youyun is over, I will tell you whatever you want to know. But...don't Just ignore me, okay?"

Shen Yan was confused by these words, but he couldn't say anything right now, even the strength of his struggle was insignificant.

He felt that Gu Zhuangcheng probably misunderstood something, but listening to his voice, he should have done something wrong to him, so he didn't say a word to remind him, but he secretly remembered the other party's promise,

Enough hugs, people calm down.Gu Zhuangcheng let go of his hand nonchalantly, not daring to look at him.

Shen Yan couldn't help but want to laugh, but she still put on airs and refused to show her secrets in front of him, so she raised her chin: "You lead the way."

Gu Zhuangcheng was now full of confusion, and immediately walked obediently and led the way.

Shen Yan followed behind him, amazed in her heart, but also unavoidably a little doubtful—Gu Zhuangcheng seemed to be too nice to him.

But he claims to be mediocre, how can it be worthwhile for someone to treat him so recklessly?But if you want to get something from him...

Although Jiuyan Tower is more famous than Yunzhuang Pavilion, it is more than enough to enshrine one person with all its strength, and there is really no need to think about getting anything from him.

"I know what you want to ask." The person walking in front suddenly said, "I can't say it yet, but I will never harm you."

"I didn't say anything."

"It's my guilty conscience."

Shen Yan: "..." You are quite self-aware.He curled his lips, said no more, quietly followed the people, and slowly left the cave.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw a glimmer of light in front of my eyes.The two of them subconsciously blocked their eyes so as not to be hurt by the harsh light.

After they stepped out of the cave and got used to the light, they realized that this cave was actually connected to a luxurious and strange mansion!

Both of them were dumbfounded, and then their faces sank.They have already guessed who this mansion belongs to, and they also roughly understand why there are so many treasures in this cave, and why no one has coveted any of them for so long;

——This is clearly the back mountain of King Pingyou!Except for the current emperor, who would have the courage to break into King Pingyou's house to hunt for treasure?

"It's a pity." Gu Zhuangcheng stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the luxurious mansion down the mountain, with an obscure expression.

Shen Yan couldn't help but look at him more.

Gu Zhuangcheng didn't look back, but shook his hand quietly, and quickly let go.

The two looked at it for a while, and then planned to leave.Rich and noble families always have to raise a few or even a dozen immortal cultivators to keep their homes safe. They are too close, and if they are accidentally bumped into, it is really unreasonable.

However, the two of them came up with an idea at the same time——

If so, King Pingyou didn't know about the cave behind?

"impossible."

"Why is the emperor so determined? King Pingyou's lineage has been established for hundreds of years now. If he really put so much treasure at home, it would be impossible if he didn't have other ideas. But he has been safe and stable until now, Never went wrong..."

"It is precisely because he has never had anything wrong." The princess Dongyang interrupted the emperor, "Sister said something rebellious, your majesty is now, just like Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty, blinded by the illusion of peace, but he doesn't know you How did the so-called "safe and stable" good minister think about seeking to usurp the throne in his heart. "

"Sister Huang! Are you talking too much?" Fortunately, the emperor was already used to being scolded all day long, and he didn't think it was disobedient.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what his imperial sister said made sense. After all, King Pingyou was in Youyun, and the sky was far away from the emperor. to something.

In fact, whether King Pingyou is really as he behaves is still unknown.

After thinking for a moment, the emperor said: "I happened to get a piece of news recently, saying that You Yun has a secret treasure in the world. Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least there is a reason to go to You Yun in an open and honest way! How about this, I will let Mr. Su go one trip."

"Your Majesty, you'd better go in person." Princess Dongyang said, "Your Majesty Su is too young to hold back the scene. If the local garrison provokes him and doesn't follow orders, wouldn't it be a waste of this good opportunity?"

"Sister Huang is right." The emperor thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Fortunately, there is nothing serious in the court, otherwise, I might not be able to walk away."

Princess Dongyang smiled softly, and said with relief: "If father, queen and queen are still here, I will be very happy to see His Majesty is so capable."

The young emperor chuckled, a red cloud flew over his face, he was actually a little shy.

Princess Dongyang looked at him lovingly, with dark tides surging deep in her eyes.With her in one day, no matter who it is, don't even think about plotting to usurp the throne!

Even King Pingyou would never allow it!
