A thick haze always shrouded the hearts of the two of them. On the way to the underground forest, although the sun was always shining and the weather was fine, they rarely smiled.
The underground forest is located in the Gongla Volcano. This is an extinct volcano with an altitude of more than two thousand meters.
The two went up from the west slope of Gongla volcano. When they reached the top of the volcano, huge craters suddenly appeared in front of them. These craters were distributed from northeast to southwest. They were in a narrow strip of land about a hundred miles long and twenty miles wide. There are ten in total. The diameter of each crater is between one mile and two miles, and the depth is about one mile.
The entrance to the underground forest is the largest crater. Tang Lie stood on the top of the crater and looked down. He saw that on the steep inner wall, the trees were lush and verdant. The mouth of the valley was so deep that he could not see the forest with his eyesight alone. bottom.
Follow Taitul and carefully descend the stone steps hidden on the cliff. A rich variety of vegetation grows around you. Precious medicinal materials and mountain treasures can be seen everywhere. Birds fly among them. You can also see various small animals from time to time. go through.
Finally, we arrived at the bottom of the crater. The terrain began to become flat, and the vegetation became increasingly abundant. Tang Lie sincerely praised: "It is indeed a paradise on earth."
Taitul laughed loudly and said: "Brother, you are right. You will gradually appreciate the benefits of this place."
At this time, the surrounding ground suddenly cracked open. Six bandit warriors emerged from it. They all saluted Taitul and said, "The master is here."
Taitul nodded and said, "I haven't met my brother yet."
The six warriors had seen Tang Lie in the Parthian city before. Knowing that he was the adopted son of their old master, they hurriedly came forward to pay homage.
Tang Lie smiled and said: "We are all brothers. Why should we be so polite?"
Taitul said: "Where is my father."
"I'm practicing my sword in Black Dragon Pond."
Iron Demon Ao stood with his upper body naked on top of the huge rock beside the pool. His body was covered in strong muscles. But judging from his appearance, you would never have guessed that he was an old man.
The serrated broadsword was suddenly raised. The powerful sword energy had spread to a range of about ten meters. With his powerful slash, the huge trunk of the red pine in front was split from it and fell to both sides.
"Okay." Tang Lie and Taitul praised in unison.
Tie Mo'ao turned around in surprise. He inserted the serrated broadsword deeply into the huge rock and said loudly: "Hunter." He walked up to Tang Lie and held Tang Lie's shoulder with his big hand. He shook it hard. He said: "My good son. I miss you every day."
Taitul said with some jealousy: "Dad, are you mistaken? I am your biological child. Why don't you think of me like this?"
Iron Mo Ao rolled his eyes and said: "There is so much nonsense. Why don't you hurry up and get ready? Have a good drink with me."
While Taitul went to prepare wine and food, Tie Mo'ao and Tang Lie sat by the Black Dragon Pond and had a pleasant conversation. Tang Lie briefly explained to Tie Mo Ao what happened after leaving Parthia City. Tie Mo Ao Ao listened leisurely and fascinated. The adventures and dangers surrounding Tang Lie were beyond his imagination.
When Tang Lie finally talked about the magic axe, Tie Mo'ao couldn't help but sigh: "You two were able to escape from the magic axe. You are really lucky."
He patted the boulder with his palm and said: "Although the Demon Ax is not the most powerful among the four guardians of the Demon Emperor, he has a cruel temperament and great power. There are more than tens of millions of innocent souls who died under his ax. .The most terrifying thing is that he has the ability to absorb other people's energy. Every time he kills someone, he can obtain part of the deceased's energy."
Tang Lie once personally experienced the process of being sucked away by the magic axe. He whispered: "Let's put it this way. The power of the magic ax will one day become the strongest in the world."
Tie Mo'ao shook his head and said: "That's not the case. The magic ax is born with a disability. It needs to constantly absorb external energy to ensure the continuation of his life. In other words, as the energy increases, it is also rapidly depleted. So he will never be able to Become the strongest in the world."
Tang Lie remembered another thing: "The magic ax is from the Yi tribe."
Tie Mo'ao nodded and said, "That's right. He is from the Yi tribe. And it is said that he has an extremely close relationship with the Xiangkong family."
Tie Mo'ao took out the fine wine from his collection. The father and son drank happily by the Black Dragon Pond.
Taitul praised: "It is indeed a good wine. If I hadn't been blessed by my brother this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be lucky enough to taste it."
Tie Mo'ao laughed and scolded: "You bastard. When have I ever treated you badly? You keep sounding like a resentful woman."
Taitul smiled and said: "Everyone can see that you love Tang Lie more."
Tang Lie smiled and said, "In that case, let's just change."
Taitul laughed loudly and said: "It's just an exchange. You have so many beautiful wives. No matter what, I take advantage of you."
Tie Mo'ao couldn't help laughing: "You two are much more romantic than me. But I want to remind you. You should marry me some wives honestly and give me some big fat boys as soon as possible. Let me also I won’t be so lonely.”
Tang Lie sighed: "The situation in the mainland is turbulent. War is about to break out. I'm afraid we won't be lucky enough to enjoy this comfortable life."
Tie Mo'ao slowly put down the wine bowl and said: "It's a pity that each tribe is fighting on its own. It is far from realizing that the crisis is coming." He stared at Tang Lie and Taitul with piercing eyes and said: "Demon Emperor Qiuchan will break through the seal sooner or later. Once his army is assembled, the entire continent will be plunged into war."
Taitul said loudly: "The two of us alone may not be able to reverse the entire situation. We can only do our best in everything."
Iron Mo'ao patted Taitul heavily on the shoulder and said: "It's not just you two. Don't forget that the more than 20,000 warriors of the bandits are always standing by your side."
Tang Lie and Taitul felt agitated in their hearts. They picked up their wine bowls and said, "Here's a bowl for daddy."
Iron Mo'ao smiled and said: "I am old. The future of Grandia continent can only be placed on you."
Because he was worried about Ling Ying's safety, Tang Lie did not dare to stay too long in the underground forest. He bid farewell to Tie Mo'ao the next morning.
Although Tie Mo'ao was reluctant to give up, he could not force Tang Lie to stay. Before leaving, he kept sending Tang Lie to the entrance of the underground forest. Tang Lie persuaded him to go back several times, and Tie Mo Ao just stopped. He said with concern: "The Sea Clan is the most mysterious race. It has adhered to a neutral attitude since ancient times. It is really uncharacteristic to catch Ling Ying and blackmail you this time. He obviously has malicious intentions towards you."
Tang Lie felt secretly ashamed. He really couldn't explain to him the bad relationship between him and the Queen of the Sea Tribe, Shui Daiyin. He whispered: "Don't worry, foster father. I will treat it with care. I won't give them a chance to frame me."
Taitul said aside: "Brother, why don't you let me go with you."
Tang Lie smiled and said: "My foster father is old. There must be someone around to take care of him. What's more, your most important task now is to train your warriors and strengthen the defense of the underground forest. You have also seen the madness of the magic axe. .In case he comes here, should we prepare in advance?”
Taitul nodded silently and said: "Okay. If the Queen of the Sea Tribe dares to harm you this time, I will lead my brothers into the Crystal City and destroy her lair." He whispered again: "See you. Rong Xiaoqing. Tell me I miss her."
Tang Lie smiled calmly. His eyes returned to Tie Mo'ao. He said sincerely: "Father, you have to take care of yourself. When I return from Crystal City, I will definitely come and see you."
Princess Xuanbo sat in front of the bed in despair. Her heart was occupied by great panic. She didn't even notice that Fina walked into the room.
Fina whispered: "Princess."
Xuanbo turned around, his beautiful eyes filled with melancholy.
"What's the matter princess?"
"The scepter was stolen." Although Xuanbo's voice was not loud, it shocked Fina. She did not recover for a long time. Everyone understood the meaning of the scepter. It was exactly Relying on the scepter that she and Tang Lieshe risked their lives to snatch back, Princess Xuanbo was able to win the trust of these subjects and have enough qualifications to challenge the crown prince Xuan Yuan. Now the scepter has been lost.
Princess Xuanbo pointed to the empty box holding the scepter in front of the bed and said: "I have always kept it here. But now it has disappeared."
Fina was secretly glad that the thief was able to sneak into the princess's palace silently and steal the scepter quietly. Fortunately, the princess was not harmed.
"Have you left any clues?" Fina asked softly.
A wry smile appeared on Princess Xuanbo's lips: "There are only five words...Crystal City, Tang Lie."
Fina was slightly startled. Although there had long been news that Xuan Yuan was trying to form an alliance with the Sea Clan to deal with Chuanyun City, it had never been confirmed. Besides, the scepter representing the highest power of the Xuanwu Kingdom did not mean anything to the Queen of the Sea Clan. Function. Why did she take the scepter? What is the purpose behind taking the scepter? And what does all this have to do with Tang Lie?
Xuan Bo said softly: "The whole thing is a trap. Her real purpose of taking away the scepter is to lure Tang Lie to Crystal City."
Fina sighed and said, "I didn't expect the Queen of the Sea Clan to hate Tang Lie so much."
The two men mentioned Tang Lie's name and fell into deep thought at the same time.
Xuan Bo's eyes turned to the window, fearing that Fina would see the tears in her eyes. Tang Lie's warm smile appeared in front of her eyes. She didn't know where this hateful guy was now. She wanted to throw herself into Tang Lie's broad and warm arms. .Quietly enjoy the warmth and comfort he brings to you.
Fina suddenly remembered the scene before parting with Tang Lie. She didn't know whether her choice had hurt Tang Lie's feelings.
Xuan Bo said softly: "I don't want anyone to know about the scepter."
Fina nodded and said: "Princess, don't worry. I will go to Crystal City immediately. I will try to regain the lost scepter for you as soon as possible."
Xuan Bo sighed quietly: "I'm tired... really tired..."
After Fina said goodbye to Princess Xuanbo, she walked towards her mansion with a heavy heart. The sudden loss of the scepter made the already bad situation even more difficult. If this matter is revealed, it will definitely cause an uproar in Chuanyun City. It may even affect Princess Xuanbo's status and prestige.
The night was dark. The entire Chuanyun City was extremely quiet. Only Fina was left on the long street leading to the General's Mansion. She seemed increasingly lonely.
The breeze blew and the leaves fell one after another. Autumn has arrived unknowingly. How long can this superficial calm last? Fina was filled with melancholy for a moment and sighed with resentment.
But I heard a kind voice saying: "What is on General Fina's mind?"
Fina's delicate body trembled. Her ice-blue beautiful eyes looked forward incredulously. Instantly, they were filled with crystal tears. But she saw Tang Lie appearing in front of the road with a smile. There was a lazy and cynical look on his handsome face. A smile that is both indescribably hateful and indescribably cute.
Fina bit her lips hard and rushed over. She threw herself into Tang Lie's arms desperately and started sobbing silently. The strength she had built up in front of others for many days fell apart in front of Tang Lie.
Tang Lie comforted the lady softly: "You have worked hard these days."
Fina held Tang Lie's big hand and quietly walked in from the back door of the General's Mansion. She reunited with her sweetheart after a long separation. Naturally, she didn't want to be disturbed by others.
Tang Lie picked up Fina's delicate body and asked her to sit on his knees. He held Fina's pretty face and said, "Let me take a good look at you."
Fina couldn't help but shed tears again. She said resentfully: "I thought you would never remember me anymore."
"How could that happen?" Tang Lie kissed Fina's lips lightly.
Fina held Tang Lie's big hand and said, "Tell me honestly. Why did you come back this time?"
Tang Lie smiled slyly and said, "Of course it's for my Fina."
"You lied." Although Fina knew that Tang Lie's return to Chuanyun City would not be so simple, it still sounded sweet to her ears.
After the brief joy, Fina immediately returned to reality. In a low voice, she told Tang Lie about the loss of Princess Xuanbo's scepter. Tang Lie frowned. Wanwan did not expect Shui Daiyin to go to Crystal City in order to let herself go. She attacked Ling Ying and then turned to Xuan Bo. It seemed that her hatred for herself had reached an irresolvable level.
Fina whispered: "Shui Daiyin hates you so much. If you insist on going to Crystal City again, I'm afraid there won't be any good results."
Tang Lie stood up and took two steps back and forth. He said loudly: "The reason why Shui Daiyin caused so many things is obviously because of me. If I don't solve this matter, I'm afraid she will continue to pester her. .”
A trace of confusion flashed through Fina's beautiful eyes: "Why does she hate you so much."
Tang Lie couldn't help but feel a fever on his face. The reason was difficult to explain.
Fina came behind Tang Lie, hugged his tiger body and said, "Tang Lie, if you are not careful, you will lose your life. I don't want you to go." The care for Tang Lie in Fang's heart was beyond words.
Tang Lie held Fina's catkin in his hand and asked in a low voice, "Do I have any other choice now?"
Fina had made up her mind in an instant. She said softly: "If you insist on going, I will follow you. We will live together and die together."
Tang Lie was moved in his heart. He caressed Fina's pretty face and suddenly hugged her into his arms: "Okay. I promise you. I will never let you leave again after I come back this time."
The little white dragon quietly broke through the clouds and landed in the backyard of the General's Mansion. Its sea-blue eyes were unpredictable. The golden scales all over its body and its strong body showed its growth silently.
Fina looked at the little white dragon in surprise. It was hard to believe that this was the nutria-like little guy from before: "It turned out to be a little golden dragon."
Xiao Bailong glanced at Fina with some dissatisfaction. She was obviously one of the witnesses of his bloodline, but now she would have such a big reaction.
Thinking of the dead emperor, Fina couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Tang Lie patted the golden dragon's neck gently: "Without it, it would be difficult for me to successfully reach Chuanyun City from the heavy siege of the imperial army. Now it's time for it to help us."
Fina said: "Do you want to go see the princess?"
Tang Lie shook his head and said, "Wait until I find the scepter." He stepped on the golden dragon's back, held Fina's delicate hand, and said softly, "Protect the princess. Wait until I come back."
Fina nodded heavily.
The virtual sea under the moonlight is rare and calm. It is as gentle as a girl's eyes. The little white dragon spreads its broad golden wings and glides calmly on the sea. Its belly sometimes passes over the sea, carrying a bunch of them. The white water line quickly rose from the sea and flew into the air, circling and playing with a few sleepless gulls.
Tang Lie's eyes were quietly admiring the beautiful seascape at night, but his heart was ups and downs. Perhaps for him, this was the last peace.
The body of the little white dragon slowly descended. It was gliding slowly at a height of two meters away from the sponge. Judging from the position, Tang Lie knew that he had arrived at the top of the crystal forest. He rechecked his accompanying items and found the chapter. The mask that Baqiao gave him was carefully put on his face. He took a deep breath of cool air, stretched his arms vigorously, and whispered to Xiao Bailong: "Get down, little guy." He was originally He wanted Xiao Bailong to send him to the bottom of the sea, but he didn't expect that Xiao Bailong's body suddenly shook. Tang Lie fell backwards into the sea without being fully prepared.
The little white dragon circled around the white waves splashed by Tang Lie. Then it quickly flew upwards. Its golden body penetrated into the gloomy clouds like a shooting star.
Tang Lie secretly cursed Xiao Bailong as a bastard. A circle of closed space was quickly formed around his body with energy. He quickly descended into the sea water. He played with the water-proof beads with his big hands. Having the experience of entering the Crystal City last time, Tang Lie this time Be more calm. While you are in the water, you feel like you are flying in the sky.
Tang Lie followed the memory of last time and came to Zhushan Ancient Ferry where Xu Yanniang sent them to escape.
The abandoned dock stood like a monster in the dark water. Thinking of the thrilling escape last time, Tang Lie couldn't help but smile. Tang Lie's initial plan was to enter the Crystal City through the waterway where he escaped last time. But he only blamed himself for patronizing it. He wanted to escape. Moreover, the waterway to escape was complicated. The little white dragon led the way the whole way. He couldn't remember the original way at all. The damn little white dragon actually walked away at this time, putting himself in such an embarrassing situation.
Tang Lie secretly called for the little white dragon in his heart, hoping that it would come to his side. He waited at Zhushan Ancient Ferry for a long time, but did not see the little white dragon coming. He slowly lost hope.
After groping for a while in the underwater ruins, I found the ferry where I left. What surprised Tang Lie was that there was a deep-water boat moored there.
Orange lights illuminated the sea ahead. Beautiful fish floated around the light beam.
Tang Lie looked at everything in front of him curiously. It seemed that someone had already had a premonition that he was coming.
"Brother Tang, I have to wait so hard." Xu Yanniang was wearing a red dress. She was sitting on the platform above the deep water boat with a smile. Her chubby round face was full of cunning expressions.
Tang Lie knew that even though he was wearing a mask, he was still seen through by Xu Yanniang. He laughed loudly and said, "Sister, I was just missing you. It just so happened that you came here."
Xu Yanniang covered her lips and giggled: "Brother Tang's words are still heart-warming. It's a hundred times better than that lewd scoundrel. Although the girl knows that everything you said is a lie, it still sounds so comfortable."
This was not the first time Tang Lie had interacted with Xu Yanniang. He knew that although she looked vulgar on the surface, she was actually a very smart woman and quite difficult to deal with. However, Tang Lie intuitively felt that she would not betray him, so he did not feel anything in his heart. Panicking, he smiled and joked: "Who is that lewd scoundrel? Is this girl's sweetheart?"
Xu Yanniang spat softly: "Don't talk nonsense. Even if all the men in the world die, I will not consider that wretched guy." There was a little shyness on his face. Tang Lie observed the details, and couldn't help but move in his heart. Could it be that he came and went? Xu Yanniang actually has a crush on Ya Yi An. It seems that not inviting Ya Yi An to come with her this time was a mistake.
Tang Lie said: "My sister came here specially to pick me up."
Xu Yanniang nodded and said: "Although I am not well-informed, several major events that have happened recently cannot be hidden from me."
Tang Lie said lazily: "What's the big deal? Sister, can you tell me about it?"
Of course Xu Yanniang knew that Tang Lie was pretending to be confused, but she didn't point it out on the spot. She invited Tang Lie to sit in the deep-water boat. Food and wine were already prepared on the small table in the cabin. Tang Lie had to admire Xu Yanniang's judgment. He was able to guess that he was here today. This woman's wisdom was more outstanding than he imagined. How terrible it would be if she became his enemy.
Xu Yanniang poured the wine for Tang Lie with her own hands and said: "Brother and sister, we meet again after a long separation. Let's have a drink first."
Tang Lie said loudly: "How can one cup express my inner joy? How about three cups in a row."
Xu Yanniang nodded. Sure enough, she and Tang Lie had three drinks in a row.
Tang Lie reminded her: "You can talk, sister."
Xu Yanniang said: "The queen first arrested your good friend this time. Then she had someone steal the scepter representing the royal power of the Xuanwu Kingdom. All of this is aimed at you."
Tang Lie was shocked. It was not surprising that Xu Yanniang knew about Ling Ying. However, the loss of the scepter was an extremely secret matter. Shui Daiyin would not have made the matter public. What's more, it had just happened not long ago. Why did Xu Yanniang You will know. Could it be that Xu Yanniang and Shui Daiyin have an extremely close relationship.
Xu Yanniang seemed to have guessed what Tang Lie was thinking. She chuckled and said, "Brother Tang, don't be alarmed. Of course I have my own methods. I can tell you something clearly. There is no cooperative relationship between Shui Daiyin and I. Otherwise, there is no cooperative relationship between me and Shui Daiyin." I wouldn’t have helped you escape last time either.”
Tang Lie pretended to be careless: "So, the girl is here to help me."
"Of course."
Tang Lie said meaningfully: "My sister is really affectionate and loyal to me."
Xu Yanniang smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Tang seems to be doubting my sincerity."
Tang Lie laughed and didn't answer.
Xu Yanniang said: "I won't go around with Brother Tang. I'll help you rescue your friends and take back the scepter. How about you take me to find the golden warship."
Tang Lie smiled and said, "This deal sounds like a good deal."
"So you shouldn't refuse."
Tang Lie nodded and drank all the wine on the table: "Tell me how you plan to help me."
Xu Yanniang said: "Since you rescued Princess Xuanbo and escaped from the Crystal Palace last time, the queen was very angry. She asked her trusted warriors to check all the underground channels and then sealed them."
Tang Lie's heart sank. It seemed that his plan to sneak into the palace through the underground tunnel without anyone noticing had no chance of being realized.
Xu Yanniang continued: "So only if we work together can we achieve each other's wishes." She stretched out her hand expectantly.
Tang Lie smiled and held Xu Yanniang's hand. Although it was a little fat, it was smooth and soft. It felt good to the touch.
Xu Yanniang said angrily: "Brother Tang, you don't even think about girls' ideas, do you?"
Tang Lie smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you. I never believe that there is a pure brother-sister relationship between men and women."
Xu Yanniang smiled coquettishly.
The opportunity Xu Yanniang mentioned is three days later. In three days, envoys from the Xuanwu Kingdom will go to the Crystal Palace to meet with the queen and discuss with her the alliance to attack Chuanyun City. According to Xu Yanniang’s understanding, a large number of gifts will be sent into the palace from the east gate of the Crystal Palace. This is Tang Lie's only chance to enter the palace. All gifts from foreign countries must go through the triple inspection of the post house, the palace, and the storage. Xu Yanniang is confident enough to let Tang Lie pass smoothly.
Tang Lie and Xu Yanniang came to stay in her Chunfeng Nest temporarily. Xu Yanniang was indeed very powerful. She investigated the information Tang Lie needed and reported it to Tang Lie as soon as possible.
The envoy sent by the Xuanwu Kingdom this time is Pu Longqi. This person was highly valued during the lifetime of Emperor Xuan Sizhe of the Xuanwu Kingdom. His status was equal to that of Sima Tai and Adams. This time he was asked to come to Crystal City to discuss the alliance. This shows that the empire attaches great importance to this alliance. And the gifts Pulongqi brought with him this time are also quite mysterious. After entering the post house, he declined the protection of the Hai clan and still let his subordinates personally protect everything. Among the gifts, a wooden box was the most precious. He personally guarded it. It seemed that he would not let it go easily before giving it to the Queen of the Sea Tribe.
After listening to Xu Yanniang's story, Tang Lie felt a little disappointed. He said bitterly: "What a bullshit gift. It's made so mysterious."
Xu Yanniang smiled and said: "Six boxes. I guess they contain some gold and silver treasures. But there may be some good things in that wooden box."
Tang Lie was most concerned about how he could sneak into the Crystal Palace. He whispered: "It seems that it is impossible to enter the inn."
Xu Yanniang smiled and said: "Before the gifts enter the palace, they will stop temporarily at the east gate. You can take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in."
Tang Lie smiled bitterly and said, "How do I sneak in?"
Xu Yanniang said with a smile in her beautiful eyes: "Don't tell me. You even lost your invisibility cloak."
He didn't expect Xu Yanniang to know everything about him so well. After thinking about it, Tang Lie thought that it was probably that bastard Ya Yi'an who leaked the secret. He would definitely settle the score with him someday.
Xu Yanniang said: "I am responsible for getting you into the temporary storage area for gifts at the east gate. After you check the gifts, go into the box. I have people check it. The box is enough for you to hide."
Tang Lie said: "If it is filled with gold and silver, I'm afraid there won't be room for me."
Xu Yanniang smiled and said: "Silly brother, after the inspection, he will stay there for about half an hour. After the registration is completed, he will notify the palace guards to transport the gifts to the warehouse. There are opportunities everywhere."
Tang Lie sighed and said, "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. Everything just depends on taking one step at a time."
Everything was going smoothly as planned. After the six boxes, which were closely protected by the Xuanwu people, were handed over to the Hai clan people, they were quickly counted and entered into the books. Among them were nothing more than gold, silver, silk and the like. There was also a box of six slips in it. The heaviest of the boxes was temporarily locked in a temporary warehouse after being recorded.
Tang Lie, who had already been hiding in the temporary warehouse, took this opportunity to open the box containing the letters. He took out some of the letters and hid them in the temporary warehouse. Then he wore an invisibility cloak and entered the wooden box and hid among the letters. Down.
After waiting for a full hour, the palace guards came to deliver the gifts.
Two of the warriors lifted up the box where Tang Lie was hiding. After taking two steps, they couldn't help cursing: "Xuanwu Kingdom is so damn stingy. Why are you sending so many slips?"
Another warrior sighed and said: "They must have inquired carefully before giving gifts. The gifts they give must naturally please the queen."
The warrior in front laughed and said, "Hurry up. You can't even lift a box of letters."
The warrior who spoke first scolded: "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk. You are so powerful. Why don't you give me a change?"
The warrior said: "My box is full of gold and silver. It is much heavier than your box."
"Strange. How can the letter be heavier than gold and silver?"
Tang Lie was frightened for a while, fearing that the warrior would put down the box and check if there was any mystery inside.
Fortunately, the samurai just muttered twice and let it go. He insisted on carrying the box to the warehouse and put the boxes into the warehouse in order. At this time, the official responsible for guarding the warehouse came over. The leading samurai took the boxes from the temporary warehouse just now. The roster was handed to him.
The official said: "Open the box. I want to check it for acceptance."
Tang Lie secretly screamed that something was wrong. If they checked carefully, his hiding place would definitely be exposed. He quietly held the handle of the knife with his right hand. If necessary, he would have to kill all these people in order to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed.
The six boxes were opened in turn. The official walked back and forth. He reached out and picked up a slip on Tang Lie's head. He chuckled and threw the slip down again. It hit Tang Lie's head. Tang Lie held his breath. Don't dare to make a sound while breathing for fear of being discovered by him.
The official said: "You go ahead. After I count them, I will hand the gift list to Her Majesty the Queen."
Several warriors obeyed the order. The official did not carefully count the items. He selected a few suitable gold items from several boxes and went out in a big way. You must know that the queen rarely interferes with the gifts that are sent to the warehouse. This is also true. This encourages the officials responsible for guarding the treasury to commit theft.
