After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"you......."

Murong Huan's face flushed with anger. He lowered his voice and said to Zhong Ning, "How can you, a woman, live there?"

"none of your business?"

"You... This princess wouldn't want to control you if it weren't for the fact that she was afraid of your reputation being damaged and bringing disgrace to the royal family..."

"I'm wearing men's clothes now, and everyone has their own room. What could happen? If you don't tell me, who would know I'm here?" Zhong Ning said in a low voice. She still had to go to room number three to hunt for treasure at night, and she couldn't leave here.

"Okay, okay... I'm sorry for meddling in your affairs... If I interfere with you again, I'll be struck by lightning and die a miserable death..."

"There's no need to curse yourself like that..."

"Ah... Murong Ning... you're making me so mad..." Murong Huan stomped his feet in hatred and glared at Zhong Ning, his face full of anger.

Then he suddenly turned around and left with his men.

If she cares about her again, she will be a dog!

You bastard, Murong Ning, when we get back to the capital, I'll definitely complain to my uncle the Emperor! Just wait!

After Murong Huan left, the scene was silent.

Afterwards, Xu Zirui and the others stepped forward and bowed, saying, "So Brother Zhong actually has connections with Prince An's Mansion. We were blind to recognize the value of this talent and were quite negligent..."

"Brother Xu, please don't say that. I just came here to pay my respects and stay overnight. I heard that the talented scholar from Dayong was staying here, so I turned to Dingzihao Courtyard."

"I'd like to have a small chat with you all. If that girl hadn't suddenly discovered me, I wouldn't have intended to reveal my identity!"

Zhong Ning explained with a faint smile, and then said, "We are fortunate to meet today, so I will host a small gathering for everyone, how about that?"

Xu Zirui, Ling Jiacai, and the others looked at each other, then bowed and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhong."

"You're welcome, please!"

"Brother Zhong, please!"

........

Night falls.

On top of Mount Futu, in Zhenguo Temple.

At this moment, it was like being trapped in a dark horror script. The deep night enveloped the place, and there was a hint of weirdness in the silence.

At this moment, Zhong Ning, who was meditating and practicing internal energy in the room, suddenly opened his eyes.

The hour of midnight has arrived, it is time to act.

In the afternoon, I had a few drinks with a few people from the same courtyard and drank some vegetarian wine. I think everyone has fallen asleep by now.

She had already figured out that Room 3 in the Dingzi Courtyard was where Lu Xingzhou lived.

Although he drank a lot of wine in the afternoon, for safety reasons, Zhong Ning took out a cigarette and blew it in through the gap in the window.

After the smoke cleared, Zhong Ning wrapped his face in a handkerchief and carefully walked into the room.

There was a figure lying on the bed, sideways. It was Lu Xingzhou who was in a deep sleep.

Zhong Ning used his fingers to check his breathing, which was even, so he must be unconscious.

Zhong Ning felt relieved, wrapped the person in bedding, picked him up horizontally and put him on the ground.

Only then did he carefully feel around on the bed board and knock gently, looking for the secret door.

Zhong Ning had slept on the bed in another room and knew that the bed board was made of ordinary wooden boards, but the bed board in Room 3 was actually a small kang.

The bed was connected to the ground, with several boards on top. Zhong Ning knocked on them one by one, and finally found a clear and ethereal sound on the board at the end of the bed.

This sound was different from other muffled sounds. There must be something fishy going on. Zhong Ning took out a dagger from the space and lightly scratched it along the bed board.

Then, he found a gap and pried it upwards. The wooden board was successfully lifted up, revealing the thick iron cover inside.

There was a lock on the lid. Zhong Ning took off the silver hairpin on her head and started pulling at the keyhole. With a click, the iron lock was successfully opened.

When the iron lid was opened, a smell similar to the stench of a corpse came out. The smell was extremely pungent, but Zhong Ning didn't care about anything else. He picked up the flashlight and illuminated the area below.

This is probably a sealed space tunnel, it is pitch black and you can't see your hand in front of you. Wherever the flashlight goes, there seem to be several boxes of different sizes scattered around.

Zhong Ning leaped up and jumped down.

Use a lighter to light the bronze candlesticks in the room.

The whole space suddenly became bright.

The entire basement is about 50 square meters, with walls made of yellow mud. There is a huge Buddha statue painted on the wall opposite the exit.

After entering the secret room, the stench of corpses became stronger and stronger. Zhong Ning felt suffocated and could not help but take out two balls of toilet paper and stuff them into his nose before he could breathe.

The most amazing thing is that although the smell is so strong, there is not a single corpse in here. Could it be that they have already turned into ashes?

Forget it, don’t think about these.

There weren't many treasures in there, just about seventeen or eighteen boxes, half of which were gold and the other half were jewelry and jade.

Zhong Ning waved his hand and put out all the furniture in the living room, such as the wooden sofa and coffee table, to make room for the boxes.

Because the space is really small, if she doesn't free up the extra furniture, she probably won't be able to take these things away today.

The guest bedroom was already filled with food.

She moved all the food and jewelry that were originally in the living room to the master bedroom and balcony.

Now she rarely goes into the space to cook, and only uses it as a tool to store things.

So now that the living room is freed up, it is perfect for storing the treasures we got today.

I just hope that she can draw another space upgrade card next time so that her space can be bigger, so that she won't have to face the same predicament as today.

After putting all the treasure boxes into the space, the living room was already full.

When she was about to leave, she suddenly turned around and felt as if there was an infinite chill behind her trying to attract her over.

She looked around and saw that the Buddha statue hanging on the wall was staring at her, as if guiding the desire and greed in her body to break out!

She had a hunch that behind the Buddha statue might be the door leading to other secret passages in the temple, and the smell of those corpses might be the bodies of the craftsmen who built this secret room.

They are not here, but behind that door.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning slapped himself in the face, forcibly stopping his desire to continue exploring and forcing himself to regain his sanity.

Even though there might be more precious treasures hidden in the secret room behind the Buddha statue, she didn't want it.

Greater wealth means greater danger. She has already gained a lot of wealth and cannot be greedy for more!

Get out, you must get out!

Zhong Ning turned around and followed the original exit, taking advantage of the momentum and jumping straight up.

After returning to the room, Zhong Ning quickly closed the iron lid and installed the wooden board, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling just now was so dangerous, as if I had forcibly escaped from an illusion.
