Chapter 4: The Prince of Qin's Mansion is Really Rich
However, in this East Courtyard, soldiers would patrol back and forth from time to time.
Shen Qingge observed carefully for a while and found that there were about three teams patrolling the entire East Courtyard. Each patrol team consisted of twenty soldiers, all armed and fully combat-ready. In the West Courtyard where she was, there was only one such team, and the patrol frequency was much lower.
She was somewhat relieved that she had not encountered the patrol team from the West Courtyard along the way. At the same time, she also sighed that the Prince Qin's Mansion was so heavily guarded!
Time was running out, and Shen Qingge no longer had time to observe the intervals between patrols and the precise rotation times of the soldiers. She calmed her mind and looked around intently, wanting to find the location of the treasury as quickly as possible.
After scanning the area several times, Shen Qingge discovered a rather unusual courtyard in the center of the east courtyard. This courtyard was clearly farther away from the others, with higher walls surrounding it, as if to conceal the buildings within. Furthermore, it was also larger in area.
It can be said that this courtyard is deliberately made to appear less abrupt and inconspicuous, but due to its different structure, upon closer inspection, it is particularly conspicuous among the densely packed courtyards on the east side.
I guess this is it!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingge jumped lightly from the roof and quickly slipped into the dark corner. She planned to try her luck. After all, she was not sure whether that was the treasury.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong. In the quiet night, the occasional rustling of leaves could be heard.
Shen Qingge's nerves were tense as he approached the courtyard, dodging every step.
Along the way, she was nearly discovered by patrolling soldiers several times, but fortunately, a servant who happened to pass by and an occasional night cat saved her from danger.
What a risk!
She did not dare to stop as she walked through the winding corridors of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, through the flat courtyards, and the rockery and ponds.
Half an incense stick later, she finally arrived in front of the courtyard.
She hid herself behind a house not far away and observed from the side.
This courtyard is the quietest one in the east courtyard of the palace. Two guards stand at the door and never leave.
In order to divert the guards, she picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it hard towards another corner in the opposite direction.
A small stone fell on the eaves with a crackling sound, and the tiles fell down, breaking the silence of the night.
"who?"
The alert guard shouted immediately!
One of the guards, sword in hand, ran towards the source of the noise, while the other guard remained where he was, not moving an inch.
Really well-trained!
Fortunately, the guard's attention was attracted by the noise just now, so Shen Qingge took the opportunity to climb over the side of the courtyard wall.
Shen Qingge didn't dare to delay after entering the yard. She tiptoed to the house in the yard.
At this time, a team of patrolling soldiers just arrived. Hearing the series of footsteps, she broke out in a thin layer of sweat.
Fortunately, the patrolling soldiers just chatted with the guards. It seemed that today was a big day for the royal palace, and infected by the festive atmosphere, the soldiers were a little more relaxed than usual.
They didn't seem to notice anything and became happier as they talked, which made Shen Qingge, who was hiding in the dark, feel relieved.
However, the huge chain lock in front of the door blocked her way.
This lock should be made of fine iron, very hard, with multiple keyholes sunken and strangely shaped. Some are spoon-shaped with a square hole at the front, and some are crab-claw-shaped.
Looking at the configuration, it may be difficult to open it for a while.
Shen Qingge was in a dilemma. What should he do?
In desperation, she decided to try teleportation, which she was not very proficient in yet.
She just thought about it and disappeared from the door.
Fortunately, this time, she did not embarrass herself and landed steadily in the center of the room.
The room was pitch black, and Shen Qingge couldn't take out a tinderbox. He could only use the faint moonlight to identify the items in the room.
This warehouse is so big!
In the middle of the room, there were rows of neatly arranged shelves, nine feet high. Large boxes were neatly stacked against the wall at the edge of the shelves, as well as some other objects, but the light was too dim to see clearly.
Without time to think, she casually grabbed an item from the shelf closest to her. The fine stitching and silky touch made it look like a precious fabric like brocade.
It seems that this is definitely the Qin King’s treasury!
Shen Qingge was so overjoyed that her hands began to tremble...
In order to save time, she used her mind to collect all the items in the treasury into the space, leaving only the empty shelves.
Then she flashed into the space and took a quick look at her "trophy".
The Qin Palace is truly rich!
Priceless jewelry and silks were piled up like mountains. There were dozens of sets of exquisitely crafted pearl and jade headpieces alone, and several boxes were filled with gold and gemstone-inlaid items.
Boxes of gold bars and copper coins were neatly stacked, gleaming alluringly, and stacks of silver bills filled several boxes. The deeds to shops and houses were piled into a thick book.
Antiques, collectibles, jade, calligraphy and paintings fill an entire row of shelves, making it dazzling.
There were also a wide variety of swords, spears, halberds, bows, crossbows, and armor. Shen Qingge stepped forward to take a look. These weapons were exquisitely designed and of high quality. They were even more complete than those in her father's camp, and even more lethal.
What’s even more rare is that there is a lot of food stored!
Bags of rice were neatly stacked. She tore open a corner, revealing the translucent rice inside, its grains plump, firm, and bright. Then there were bags of golden, orange-yellow millet, finely ground flour, and cans of sesame oil...
Smelling the fragrance of grains and holding the white rice flour in his hands, Shen Qingge was really smiling.
After packing all these things, plus her own dowry, the first floor of Jufu Pavilion was completely full, leaving only a very narrow aisle leading to the stairs.
However, this did not affect Shen Qingge's good mood at all, because the Marquis' Mansion was saved!
Then she slipped out of the space, tiptoed out of the room, locked the door, and heard the soldiers still talking.
"Look at you, you're too nervous. There's no such thing as an assassin. I see those are just some wild cats and dogs. There's been a lot of them lately, running around the mansion all day long."
"Yes, it's very likely!"
"By the way, did you see what the bride looks like today?"
"What's there to see? I heard that the daughter of the Marquis's family is just average, dresses tacky, and is very eccentric..."
Shen Qingge listened to the soldiers talking about her, but she didn't get angry. She took advantage of this opportunity and climbed over the wall to slip out, without anyone noticing!
After running for a distance, she finally relaxed a little and stopped to catch her breath.
However, in order to avoid the group of soldiers, she had to climb over the wall from the other side and could not return the same way.
Well, she hid in the corner, leaning against the wall, ready to adjust her state before setting off again.
The terrain inside the Prince of Qin's Palace is complex and there are many patrolling soldiers.
So she climbed up again, this time to a tall tree with lush branches and leaves. Under the cover of the leaves, she carefully observed the area again and chose the shortest way back to the west courtyard.
At this time, it was already late at night, probably around midnight. Only a few scattered lights remained in the palace, and the surroundings became increasingly eerily quiet.
Shen Qingge remained highly alert, rushing back lightly and quickly, keeping his eyes and ears open.
Along the way, she didn't dare to stop until she heard a very familiar voice...
