Can't speak

This time when he had a clue, Ning Jianjian became more active. He went back and forth a few times, and when the copper piece reached 40 yuan, he climbed ashore and let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Is that all?" Seeing his actions, Su Yangui couldn't help asking.

Ning Jian nodded: "There are four lines in the poem, and there must be four copper plates for each word with different characters, so that people can't figure out the pattern. There are ten characters including your name, and 40 yuan is just right."

Su Yangui listened while arranging the copper pieces.

Sure enough, as Ning Jian said, each character is exactly four yuan, in addition to the original nine characters found, there are four copper plates engraved with "return".

Su Yangui was a little desperate.

This time Ning Jian really solved this problem, and after this difficulty is over, will it be the end?

He looked up at Ning Jian, but Ning Jian didn't notice it, and just focused on arranging the copper pieces.

"Su Shi said that fallen leaves return to their roots, and the roots are also the beginning. Then start with "Goose Returning", and the word "Returning" is followed by those eight characters, "The first drunk moon invites flowers to fall and snowfly", and "Flying" is connected in a row with " "Goose"...Since he took two characters as your name, let's take a look at the interval between each two characters."

While talking to herself, Ning Jian took out the corresponding copper pieces and arranged them in four rows.

"The geese return to the first drunken moon to invite flowers, and the first drunken moon invites flowers to fall in the snow. The moon invites the flowers to fall in the snow and the geese to fly, and the flowers to fall in the snow and the geese to return to the beginning." After reading the last word, Ning Jian finally smiled lightly.

Su Yangui looked at the rare smile on his face, and couldn't help laughing too.Although his heart was bitter, seeing Ning Jian's smile, he felt that it was worth it.

It was obviously a silent smile, but Ning Jian felt it, and turned around after a while.

Su Yangui's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little bit shy for no reason, as if she didn't know where to put her hands for a moment, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Ning Jian is the smartest."

This was what Ning Jian said most often to flatter and flirt with Ning Jian, but when he said it at this time, there was an inexplicable sense of disobedience, Su Yangui scratched the back of his head, and lowered his head embarrassedly.

Naturally, Ning Jian didn't understand his thoughts that were more complicated than a woman's. Seeing him bowing his head, he remembered the riddle of this series of poems. Once he solved the riddle, he took another big step away from the treasure, and felt that Su Yangui showed a trace It's normal to be a little bit depressed, so I patted his head like a child to comfort him, and didn't speak.

Just this touch, Su Yangui's surroundings became more and more clearly full of strong depression, squatting there like a big dog who had been taught a lesson by the master, only the top of his head could be seen.

"It's good that you don't have to be trapped here." Ning Jian didn't know what to do, and after thinking for a long time, she finally said a word of comfort.

"If I could be with you, I would be happy to stay here for the rest of my life."

"But there are many worlds out there that you haven't seen, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Su Yangui gritted her teeth: "You're going to kill me after you get out."

Ning Jian was speechless for a moment.Su Yangui didn't mention it, he almost forgot about it.

The two were silent for a while, Su Yangui carefully raised his eyelids to glance at Ning Jian, seeing that Ning Jian was still in a daze, he raised his head again.

"Ning Jian, don't move."

Ning Jian blinked with a dazed expression.

Su Yangui chuckled lightly, pressed his shoulder, and leaned over to kiss Ning Jian's lips.

When lips touched, they could feel warmth very quickly. Ning Jian was still thinking about the sentence "don't move", and she really didn't push him away for a while.

Su Yangui got the kiss grandiosely like this, and then stuck his tongue in even more arrogantly.

"Hmm..." Ning Jian snorted, frowned, and put her hand on Su Yangui's arm.

Su Yangui grasped his shoulder tightly, then entangled him nervously and eagerly.

Ning Jian kept her eyes open all the time, as if frightened by his actions, she was about to push him away, but she didn't do it for a long time.

Su Yangui didn't go deep either, let go of him after a while, lowered his eyes and complained aggrievedly: "You are not paying attention at all."

Ning Jian covered her mouth with the back of her hand, frowning with an innocent look on her face, which made Su Yangui feel very moving.

So he laughed, "Okay, how do we bring these copper pieces back to the cave over there?"

Ning Jian was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down his hands, and he naturally took the topic away: "I don't know if Qin Yueshu and the others have discovered the tricks of those doors. Going back into the water is also dangerous.”

"Then don't go back." Su Yangui smiled happily, with a look of indifference.

"But you have to go back."

Su Yangui said disapprovingly: "Actually, Ning Jian, think about it. The copper piece was originally in the water. Even if we don't swim here, we can still find the copper piece and solve the mystery. So the cave here may be It's just the selfishness of the builders, reserved for those who don't want to continue searching for treasures, and don't want to go back outside. So we can stay..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Jian had already interrupted him: "By the way, we can throw the copper piece back into the water first, and then swim back there together. When you are sure that there is no one on the shore, you can stay there and watch the water." Then, I will go into the water and pick up the copper pieces.”

Su Yangui stared at him, and finally sighed: "Okay, okay, let's go back." As he spoke, he picked up five or six pieces of copper and threw them into the water.

No matter how dull Ning Jian was, she could sense that he was angry, picked up the copper piece and followed Su Yangui, and yelled: "Little devil..."

"Kiss me so you won't be angry." Su Yan said without turning her head.

Ning Jian stopped there, watching him walk back and forth in front of him, and when the copper piece fell into the water, the water splashed on him, and he threw the copper piece in his hand in the same way.

It seemed that Su Yangui was just trying to take advantage of it verbally, and when the copper pieces were almost lost, he threw himself into the pool and quickly disappeared into the water.

Ning Jian grasped the sword and followed closely, but felt a little distressed in her heart.

He had suffered a lot when he swam over there, if Su Yangui hadn't pulled him in time, he would have died in the water, at this time he was chasing Su Yangui and jumping into the water, he was defenseless, although I had an experience that I was not caught off guard by the sudden vortex, but I gradually felt powerless.

At this moment, Su Yangui who was in front suddenly swam back, grabbed his arm and led him forward.

When he got close to the surface of the water, Ning Jian subconsciously grasped the dagger in his hand, the two of them broke through the water, and the sword in his hand was also pulled out with a clang.

However, the water surface was calm, and when the sound of the water around him died down, the only thing that could be heard was the humming of the wind in the cave.

Then he heard Su Yangui's voice with a smile: "Ning Jian, there is no one, put away the sword."

Ning Jian opened his eyes, and saw that there was already a cave on the other side of the pool in front of him. The cave was empty, except for the four lines of shallow depressions, there was nothing special about it.

He let out a light breath, and then heard Su Yangui say again: "I'll go down to get the copper pieces, you stay on guard."

Ning Jian subconsciously turned her head back, but Su Yangui dived back into the water without even giving him a chance to speak, leaving Ning Jian there alone.

It took a long time for Ning Jian to climb ashore, holding her sword, looking at the slightly rippling water, feeling unreasonable pain in her heart.

Then things went smoothly, Su Yangui brought all the copper pieces up after a few rounds, and finally climbed to the shore, looking at Ning Jian with bright eyes, like a puppy begging for a reward.

Ning Jian naturally wanted to reach out and pat him on the head, but Su Yangui dodged like a fish, and when he came back, he still looked at him with shining eyes.

"What are you doing?" Ning Jian didn't understand.

Su Yangui sighed seriously, rolled his eyes, and pointed to his left cheek: "Kiss."

Ning Jian didn't understand what was going on with this man, and she suddenly acted coquettishly like when she was a child, but seeing his pale face and slightly wrinkled skin on his fingers because of being soaked in water for a long time, she felt a little nervous again. Relentless.

Perfunctorily leaning over, Ning Jian touched the place Su Yangui was pointing at, and then patted him on the head: "Come up quickly when you are satisfied."

Only then did Su Yangui climb ashore with a smile, and ran over to divide the copper pieces very actively.

"Is it fine to embed the copper piece directly?"

Ning Jian looked over after hearing the words, then nodded, and walked to the door with a sword in hand: "Go and insert it, I will prevent someone from coming in."

"it is good."

Hearing that Su Yangui should be docile, Ning Jian couldn't help but add another sentence: "Be careful, in case there are traps."

"Okay!" Su Yangui responded even louder, looking at Ning Jian's back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

After the last piece of copper was embedded in the depression, the ground suddenly shook. Su Yangui was startled, and took a few steps to the side, leaning against Ning Jian.

Ning Jian had already turned her head, supported him with one hand, and did not speak.

The place where the depression was located actually split from the middle, and when the shaking finally stopped, it revealed a staircase leading down to nowhere.The two looked at each other, and Ning Jian was the first to walk to the stairs and look down, only to see that the stairs were pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

"I can only go down." Ning Jian said.

"We have the Ye Mingzhu." Su Yangui's voice was somewhat smug.

Ning Jian glanced back at him, then nodded, took out the Ye Mingzhu, and led the way down.

The stairs were very long, and the two of them went down the stairs, only to find that there was a winding corridor below.

The ceiling of the corridor is very high, and the two sides are also very open. There are bronze candlesticks placed at intervals, which are very delicate. There are candles of the same length on them, but they dare not light them rashly.

Ning Jian kept walking ahead vigilantly with a sword in his hand. Su Yangui tried to pass him a few times, but he stopped him forcefully. The attitude of a protector made Su Yangui both happy and breathless.

After walking for more than half an hour, I realized that there was a door at the end.

Ning Jian signaled Su Yangui to back off, handed Ye Mingzhu to him, and then cautiously stretched out her hand to push the door open.

Unexpectedly, the door was easily pushed open, and the dust on the ground was raised, and behind the door was a very wide stone room.

In the center of the stone room is a square stone platform half a person's height, and there is nothing else.

Ning Jian frowned slightly: "What is it this time?"

Su Yangui kept holding Ye Mingzhu and didn't speak, but when he heard his words, he finally smiled: "Here we are."

Ning Jian suddenly turned her head and looked at Su Yangui with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

Su Yangui lifted the Ye Mingzhu up, and the faint light seemed to fill the entire stone room at once.He smiled softly: "We are here."

Ning Jian turned her head to look blankly, only to find that the walls around the stone room were densely carved with words.

"I remember when I was a child, my dad used to get up and go out in the middle of the night, saying that he wanted to record the truth... probably, that's all." Su Yangui walked to one side of the wall, stretched out his hand to stroke the words on the wall, and felt a little sighed.

The Su family is a century-old historian, and the Su family lives for the truth.

Even though this false name made him flee for a lifetime and prevented him from returning to his hometown until he died, Su Shi never let go of the mission and pride of the Su family.

Ning Jian kept looking at him, but didn't look at the writing on the wall. After a long time, she asked, "What did you say?"

Su Yangui trembled in his heart, looked back at him, and then laughed: "I said we're here." Seeing that Ning Jian didn't respond, he leaned closer to Ning Jian more aggressively, "Ning Jian, are you now? Difficult? Sad? No excitement of finding the treasure at all?"

Listening to his series of questions, the bewilderment in Ning Jian's eyes seemed to deepen, and she looked away at the wall after a while: "What nonsense?"

Su Yangui approached again unwillingly: "I'm serious, Ning Jian, are you starting to worry now? Don't want to kill me?"

Ning Jian didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand to caress the wall, and the characters as big as copper coins gradually formed under his fingers, but he couldn't concentrate on finding out what the characters were.

After a long time, he felt that his eyes lit up, it turned out that it was Su Yangui who handed Ye Mingzhu over.

"Let's look at it this way. What my father recorded is for people to see. Besides, Ning Jian, you should be considered a descendant, right?"

Ning Jian hesitated for a while, then nodded, while picking up Ye Mingzhu, she fumbled on the wall to look.

In the spring of the 23rd year of Xihe in the Yue Dynasty, various ethnic groups in the north of Yecheng were in turmoil. General Jingyuan Fengtinglou led [-] troops to Yecheng to pacify it.

At the end of the spring of the 23rd year of Xihe, the first emperor planned to make Han, the eldest daughter of King Zhaonan, as his heir.In May, Dingbei's army was short of food and grass, and Ye Bei's envoys crossed the Guanhe three times.

In August, the Empress Dowager Ceremony, the world amnesty.The Dingbei army rebelled, and all ethnic groups in Yebei rose up, taking Yecheng, Suiyue, and Xiaocheng in one day, with momentum like a rainbow.

At the end of autumn, the army attacked ten miles away from Yongcheng, and the defenders surrendered without a fight.Empress Han fled with her relatives and refused to go. There were three hundred imperial guards in the palace.

Seeing this, Ning Jian stopped unconsciously.

Su Yangui followed him all the time, and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "This record is about the war, why is it always interspersed with the affairs of the empress and the empress? Food and grass are in short supply, why is it in short supply? This General Jingyuan is Emperor Taizu. Right? Could it be that he is a dignified general who rebelled because of the shortage of food and grass?"

Ning Jian shook her head lightly, and turned to the other wall with the Ye Mingzhu.

However, the words on the wall made Ning Jian and Su Yangui stunned on the spot.

Di Junqi has been in love with General Jingyuan Feng Tinglou for 12 years. Although the world does not tolerate it and the government and the public criticize it, they never leave.

"Be good, dare to love this big event of changing hands, just for personal reasons?" Su Yangui couldn't help but yelled, but there was more admiration in his eyes.

Ning Jian glanced at him, and said: "The unofficial history records that the Taizu loves the concubine of Jun Qi's harem, and because Jun prays that he will make great achievements and monopolize the military power, he intends to kill Ye Bei in the name of pacifying Ye Bei. He lived in Yecheng, that's why Taizu united Yebei clans to rebel and seize the throne. Afterwards, he ruled out public opinion and established the former concubine as the queen. This queen died of dystocia after giving birth to the current emperor. Taizu died again in his life. The fact that there was no other queen made it even more convincing that the rebellion was for a woman."

"But in reality, it's all about the love-hate entanglement between the former emperor and the Taizu Emperor." Su Yangui smiled, "The Taizu Emperor is also ruthless enough. If he can't get anyone, he simply kills people to seize the throne. It's amazing. "

Ning Jian did not answer.

The records on the wall are still going on, but the following words are no longer rigorous and cold words in the history book, but like a person's memory, write whatever comes to mind.

People among them all call themselves "real", which is obviously Su Shi's recollection of what happened back then.

At that time, I actually followed the late emperor's side, and General Feng entered the Xiangming Palace alone with his sword. The late emperor seemed to have foreseen it, and greeted him with a smile.

General Feng questioned the first emperor, first sent him a thousand miles away from the capital with the emperor's order, and then established a queen, where to make a concentric agreement; sent a large army to pacify Yebei, then cut off food and grass, and where to put the loyal lives of a hundred thousand soldiers.

The first emperor replied: The king of Zhaonan controls half of the army in the country, covets the country and hates you.I seized his military power on the grounds of setting up the rear to check and quelling foreign disturbances.He cuts off your food and grass, hoping that if he can't kill you, he can stir up your rebellious heart, so as to mess with me.I privately sent the imperial army to send food and grass to Yecheng in twelve routes, just hoping that you will not be troubled.But you eventually raised your troops to rebel and seize my country.Now that the city is broken and the country is destroyed, and the people are dying, Jun Qi can only die to thank the world.

When General Feng realized that there was something wrong, the late emperor had already killed himself, and only the general left to caress the corpse and cry, mourning and mourning, and those who heard it sighed.

"It's just a misunderstanding... 12 years of relationship..." Su Yangui couldn't help but whispered when he saw the end.

"It's not just a misunderstanding. If it wasn't for the suspicion, how could it be easily provoked?" Ning Jian didn't have that regret, but just discussed the matter, "A companion is like a tiger, even if there is a mutual agreement, a white head The alliance, who knows when they will turn their faces and deny people?"

Su Yangui thought for a while, then smiled and said: "That's right. Ning Jian, if you were the former emperor and I was the Taizu, I would take over your country too."

Listening to Su Yangui's words, Ning Jian's heart trembled inexplicably, and she turned to look at him subconsciously, but unexpectedly met Su Yangui's eyes.

There was a clear emotion in Hei Liang's eyes, which made him turn his eyes away soon.

Su Yangui laughed haha, put his arm on his shoulder: "Ning Jian, you are so shy."

"Nonsense!"

Ning Jianzheng drew his sword, but the two of them moved forward and backward, his sword was not long at all, and it was really not that easy to put it back on Su Yangui's neck, so he could only hold the sword tightly and stand with a frown .

Su Yangui took the scabbard with a smile, put it on the sword carefully, touched Ning Jian's hand, and said: "Ning Jian, if you were the emperor of the former dynasty and I was the great ancestor, I would definitely not Hurt you like Taizu did, trap you in an unrighteous place.”

Ning Jian only felt that his voice was close to his ears, and when the air flow hit his ears, he couldn't help shrinking his neck.

"Because I don't want to."

After this sentence, Su Yangui had already let go of him, Ning Jian suddenly turned around, only to see Su Yangui standing there with a smile on his face, looking at the writing on the wall, seeming to be very focused.

After a while, Ning Jian said in a low voice, "You said we've arrived, but where is the treasure?"

"Ning Jian, I suddenly thought, even if you find the treasure, how can you bring it back to Yongcheng to the emperor with your own strength?"

Ning Jian's face changed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Su Yangui, however, acted as if he didn't ask that question, still slowly walking around the wall with the Ye Mingzhu in his hand.

"Ning Jian, have I ever told you that I am an abandoned baby?"

Ning Jian didn't know why he asked this suddenly, but when he changed the subject, she responded naturally: "I know."

"Father picked me up by Huaxi. In other words, my biological parents are probably from Crescent Moon Town." Su Yangui wiped her nose and smiled, "When I was young, I often thought, maybe When I run on the street, I pass them all the way.”

"En." Ning Jian responded, just like a normal conversation, expressing that she heard it.

Su Yangui didn't care, and continued:

"But then I didn't want to. Even if they came to me, I didn't want them anymore. I'm from the Su family, and I've been called Su Yangui since I was sensible. Su Shi is my father."

Ning Jian vaguely heard something, but couldn't tell what it was.

"After my father passed away, I will only have you." Su Yangui did not wait for his response, and said to himself, "Ning Jian, from the age of 12, you are my master and my relative; years old, I told myself that in this life, no one is more important than Ning Jian."

Ning Jian stood there in a daze, as if completely shocked by something.

It was obviously a very soft sentence, but in my ears, it seemed that this person said it with all his strength.

Su Yangui looked at him for a long time, then suddenly raised his usual smile, with a bit of a rogue: "So you still want to kill me?"

Ning Jian was stunned for a moment, completely unable to recover from the two very different sentences.

But Su Yangui had already walked to the stone platform in the middle, and pointed: "This mechanism, if you open it, you can probably see the treasure."

Ning Jian frowned, walked over quickly, and said, "You already knew how to get in, right? Otherwise, how would you know that you can find the treasure by opening the mechanism?"

"I don't know, you see we almost lost our lives when we came in through that door. I love you so much, how can I let you die?" Su Yangui looked innocent, "But look at these words, my father He doesn't know martial arts, he certainly wouldn't come in and carve these characters like us."

Ning Jian had also walked to his side, looked at the stone platform, and suddenly understood why Su Yangui said such words just by looking at it.

There was a letter on the stone platform, a long box, and a well-defined depression on the top of the stone platform.

And that concave shape, Ning Jian recognized it.

Small and fan-like, it is very similar to the jade pendant that Su Yangui hung around his neck since he was a child.

Ning Jian turned sideways suddenly, and Su Yangui also stretched out his hand at the same time. When the sword light passed by, Su Yangui snorted, but he was holding the letter and box in his hand, and Ning Jian's was resting on his neck. A bloodstain was drawn near the throat of the dagger, and the rope of the jade pendant was still wrapped around his neck, but it had been broken, and the jade pendant was held in Ning Jian's hand.

"Ning Jian!" Su Yangui called out.

Ning Jian didn't speak, but just looked at the letter and box in his hand lightly.

Su Yangui hesitated for a moment, then handed over the letter.

Ning Jianjian opened the letter with shaking hands, glanced at it, and said: "The Taizu let Su Shi go in the past, hoping that he would pass on the truth, and 15 years later, when he was dying, he sent Su Shi another will. .”

Su Yangui immediately understood that what he held in his hand was the last will.

"He appointed the concubine of the previous dynasty as the queen because he knew that she was pregnant with Junqi's son. He ruled the country for 15 years, fought against the outside world, and then returned Junqi's descendants to a complete world. But if the future generations are stupid, Su It is indeed possible to change the emperor by virtue of this will."

So I can't keep the things in this box, and I... can't keep it either.

Su Yangui understood what he meant, smiled, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps coming from the corridor outside the stone room.

He looked up, and saw Qin Yueshu walking in, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Fifth Lord for getting what he wanted. Fifth Lord's plan is really ingenious."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Jian and Su Yangui's faces turned pale.

Su Yangui didn't speak, didn't even move, but Ning Jian drew his sword away and pointed at Qin Yueshu: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qin Yueshu saluted with a smile: "Don't worry, Fifth Master, everyone is guarding outside, and they can't hear what is said here."

Ning Jian looked at Qin Yueshu, gritted his teeth, but said nothing.

Su Yangui called out softly: "Ning Jian..."

Qin Yueshu's gaze shifted from Ning Jian to Su Yangui, and then laughed again: "Now that the fifth master has everything in his hands, there is nothing to worry about, right?"

"Ning Jian..." Su Yangui called out again, there was already a hint of pleading in his voice.

"Qin Yueshu!" Ning Jian growled.

Qin Yueshu only looked at him with a smile, and bowed his head respectfully: "Of course, if the fifth master is reluctant to kill him, it's naturally okay."

Ning Jian's hands trembled.

Su Yangui saw it: "Ning Jian!"

Ning Jian ignored him.

Qin Yueshu heard Su Yangui yell three times, and couldn't help laughing: "Little devil, it sounds like you already know who he is, why do you still look so innocent?"

Su Yangui stared at him, snorted disdainfully for a while, and looked away.

Qin Yueshu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Interesting."

"What do you want?" At this moment, Ning Jian finally spoke, and raised her short sword again, as if to warn Qin Yueshu.

"Fifth Master made an agreement with His Highness that we will help you put on a show so that the kid from the Su family thinks you are being hunted down, so that he will willingly tell the secret of the treasure. Now that the treasure is right in front of you, Fifth Master should also According to the agreement, hand over the treasure to us, right?"

As Qin Yueshu was talking, seeing Su Yangui slowly turn his head to look at him, his smile became more obvious: "Originally, according to the agreement, after killing this brat, the edict will be brought back to Yongcheng by you, Lord Wu, and His Highness will meet you." Take the third master to exchange with you. But... if the fifth master is reluctant to kill this brat..."

"So what?" It wasn't Ning Jian who asked the question, he was about to speak, but Su Yangui had already asked.

Qin Yueshu raised her eyebrows and smiled, but looked at Ning Jian with an extra gentle gaze: "It depends on whether the fifth master is willing to make a deal with Qin."

Ning Jian finally put away the sword and said in a low voice, "What deal?"

"Give me the imperial edict, and you take it away. After Qin returns, he will tell His Royal Highness that Lord Wu and that little devil died together. From now on, you can go wherever you like, as long as His Highness doesn't find you. No one will hurt you, but if this is the case, the third master will naturally have to stay in Yongcheng. I wonder what the fifth master thinks?"

Ning Jian was silent again.

Su Yangui seemed to get excited, turned around and stared at Ning Jian:

"Ning Jian, why do you want to cooperate with them? Take the treasure and the edict back together, and you can get what you want, right? Why do you cooperate with these people to lie to me?"

"Little ghost, wait for me to tell you." Qin Yueshu said casually, "You have been refusing to tell the secret, and he didn't care if he waited for a few more years. But now the emperor is seriously ill, and Chaozhong is already His Highness." Assuming power, he was afraid that the agreement would be invalidated if the emperor died, and also worried that even if the emperor did not die, he would not be able to give him an imperial decree, so he had no choice but to cooperate with our highness."

Su Yangui turned to look at Ning Jian. Seeing that Ning Jian hadn't spoken, he understood a little bit, but he still couldn't help asking: "Ning Jian...don't you refute?"

"He's telling the truth." Ning Jian hesitated for a long time before finally saying.

Su Yangui didn't ask any more questions, the corners of her lips curled up as if she wanted to laugh, but in the end she couldn't.

He put the box in his hand back on the stone platform, then reached out to Ning Jian: "Ning Jian, return the jade pendant to me first."

Ning Jian raised her eyes, a little surprised.

Such a request is a bit ridiculous.

"You can't open this mechanism right now."

Ning Jian glanced at Qin Yueshu, but Qin Yueshu just smiled back at him without expressing anything.Ning Jianjian looked at Su Yangui again, Su Yangui's expression was sincere, but there was a trace of deep sadness in his eyes, which made him look very different from usual.

As soon as Ning Jian was dazed, she almost reached out to return the jade pendant. In the end, she froze for a moment, turned to the stone platform, and carefully put the jade pendant into the fan-shaped depression.

But what surprised him and Qin Yueshu was that the jade pendant couldn't be put in.

Ning Jian suddenly turned her head to look at Su Yangui: "Is this fake?"

Su Yangui blinked: "I said before, you can't find the treasure without me."

Ning Jian frowned slightly, as if she didn't know what to do with him.

Su Yangui was very familiar with his expression.When she made a mistake when she was young and pretended to be innocent, when she grew up, she took advantage of all kinds of opportunities to profit, Ning Jian would always show such an expression.He even knew that when Ning Jian showed such an expression, he really took himself into his heart││Because Ning Jian was thinking about what to do with herself.

Therefore, he always likes to do all kinds of inexplicable things to embarrass Ning Jian.

But today is a little different.

He didn't want to embarrass Ning Jian, but he had no choice.

His hand was still frozen in the air. After a long time, Ning Jian finally put the jade pendant on his hand.

The moment his fingers touched his palm, Su Yangui suddenly felt very sad.

But he still quickly grasped the jade pendant and took a few steps back.

Seeing that Ning Jian's hand holding the sword was distinctly tight, Su Yangui laughed, and hid his hand behind his back like a child, and said, "Ning Jian, do you have to save your third brother?"

Qin Yueshu seemed to snort softly.Ning Jian didn't turn her head, just stared at Su Yangui's hand hidden behind her back, and finally said: "You heard what I said."

"Aren't you reluctant to kill me?"

I have been afraid to ask the words, as if I never asked, I will not be disappointed.

Ning Jian thought for a long time before saying, "I don't know."

"How about this, give him the edict as well, you come with me, and we will find a way to save your third brother?"

"Little ghost, don't be so naive. Ning Xuan was imprisoned, and the new emperor ascended the throne, maybe he will be the first to kill!" Qin Yueshu didn't know if he was offended by Su Yangui's words, and his tone was very bad.

Su Yangui also yelled at him: "Aren't you very dependent on the crown prince? You can't even protect one person?"

"Even if you can keep it, do you think I will let you take him away?" Qin Yueshu snorted.

Su Yangui scratched his head and gave up: "So unless you don't save your third brother, you must kill me, right?"

"I can't leave third brother alone."

Su Yangui sighed, and smiled slightly at Ning Jian: "Ning Jian, you take the box, don't let this person snatch it, you can't save your third brother, I will die unjustly."

Ning Jian was slightly shocked: "Little brat..."

"Ning Jian, don't you want me to die?"

Ning Jian thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

"But me and your third brother, you choose him?"

Ning Jian nodded again.

"Then there's no way."

Su Yangui's words were full of regrets, so that Ning Jian felt a pain in her heart when she heard it, but she saw Su Yangui picking up the jade pendant and shaking it: "This is not a fake, it is full of beauty from the inside to the outside. It’s made of jade, but at the beginning of last year, I asked a friend to help me with it.”

"What trick?" Ning Jian asked naturally.

Su Yangui smiled mysteriously, revealing half of a child's mischievousness: "I have covered the original jade pendant with another layer of jade, so now it cannot be embedded in the depression. If it is not for me, even if you get it, you will not be willing to put it Shall we smash it to see?"

Seeing Qin Yueshu showing a hint of surprise, Su Yangui was even more proud: "For this layer of jade, someone has put a lot of thought into it. It's a pity..."

He didn't say anything later, but walked to the stone platform, put the jade pendant in his mouth and gnawed it vigorously a few times, the outer layer of the jade pendant cracked open with a snap, revealing a piece of jade with a similar color inside.

Su Yangui stuffed the piece of jade onto the stone platform, and the stone platform sank slowly.

When the stone platform was completely submerged, revealing the descending stairs, Qin Yueshu suddenly approached Su Yangui and grabbed his throat with one hand.Su Yangui's neck was already cut by Ning Jian, but when he pinched it, blood flowed down Qin Yueshu's hand.Startled, Ning Jian drew out his sword like the wind, pointing at Qin Yueshu's throat.

"Fifth Lord, you have misunderstood Qin." Qin Yueshu said sincerely, "The door to the treasure has been opened, so this little devil can't stay. Qin is afraid that Fifth Lord will be soft-hearted and let him escape. "

"Let him go." Ning Jian didn't say much nonsense, only said two words.

Qin Yueshu looked at him for a while, and finally let go of his hand slowly, and Ning Jian lowered his sword little by little.

However, Ning Jian's sword was suddenly stained with a drop of ink red, and the sound of "click" made Ning Jian and Qin Yueshu tremble. When they subconsciously looked up, they saw a line of bloodstains hanging from the corner of Su Yangui's mouth. Red as ink, with a distinct smile, shocking.

"You..." Ning Jian was stunned for a while, then opened her mouth to call out a word, her voice trembling.

Su Yangui narrowed her eyes with a smile, but coughed twice before saying: "The first time I saw you, I knew you were going to kill me, but we have been together for eight years, I thought you would be reluctant."

Ning Jian was speechless, and the blankness in her eyes gradually gathered.

"But compared to me, your brother is more important to you. But I am not willing to wait for others to use me to blackmail you, or let you kill me. Anyway, I will die in the end. I choose how to end it myself... ..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but it was as if his feet were soft, and he fell back. Ning Jian took a step subconsciously, but was pulled back by Qin Yueshu, only to find that the whole stone room was covered It was shaking, and there was a burst of roaring sound.

"Ning Jian..." Su Yangui sat on the ground and looked at Ning Jian.

Ning Jian seemed to be completely frightened, she didn't struggle when Qin Yueshu grabbed her arm, and when she heard Su Yangui's voice, she looked over quickly, but she didn't respond.

Sand and gravel blocks began to fall from the top of the head, and the smoke and dust aroused enveloped the entire stone room. Finally, there was a sudden light in the stone room, and with a loud noise, a hole was blasted out of the top of the head.

A figure jumped down from the top amidst the smoke and dust, and as soon as it landed beside Su Yangui, it grabbed Su Yangui up.

Ning Jian reflexively rushed forward holding the sword, but was held tightly by Qin Yueshu, so he could only stay where he was, watching the man jump up with Su Yangui, and he could still see it from a distance. A hearty male voice was heard shouting:

"Finish your head, his grandma, do you want me to do a job for nothing? Let me tell you, no one has ever dared to take advantage of me like this, your grandson..."

The sound behind could not be heard clearly, the shaking of the stone room began to calm down, and the smoke and dust gradually faded away.

Qin Yueshu slowly let go of his hand, looked back at Ning Jian,
