Chapter 118 The Secret of the Valley
"I only know the approximate location, but I'm not as sure as the girl."
"Oh, why is that?"
He goes in and out so often, but only knows the approximate location, so what is behind the cliff is very suspicious.
"He was just a small leader. He always just handed over the supplies outside and never went in."
"Oh."
Shen Li responded and said no more. There was something weird about the situation. If it hadn't happened today, she would never have gotten involved.
Soon, under the leadership of Shen Li, the group stopped in front of a mountain wall. The mountain wall was steep and there was a lot of moss growing on it.
"Is this here?"
Pei Yu looked at the stone wall in front of him. It looked like an ordinary mountain wall, but Miss Shen was so sure about it, so it must be special.
He bent his finger and pointed backwards, and the secret guards on horseback dismounted and walked forward to search carefully in front of the mountain wall.
Shen Li has used her mental power to investigate and found that there is a stone door on the mountain wall, and the connection between the stone door and the mountain wall is very hidden and difficult to notice.
Sure enough, seeing that his men had not found it for a long time, Pei Yu looked at Shen Li who was calm beside him, "Miss, can you help me next time?"
Shen Li nodded, "Okay, okay. If Master Wei finds some money in there later, don't forget to give me some."
"it is good."
Hearing his agreement, Shen Li drove the horse over, picked up the water bag hanging on the horse, and poured it towards a stone wall.
Pei Yu saw her heading straight for that place and followed her.
After Miss Shen poured the water, he already knew what was going on. He didn't expect that they had put so much thought into it and that this stone door could be so real.
Chi Yan took two steps back, Pei Yu stepped forward and slapped the stone door with one palm. Soon the stone door moved away, revealing a dark passage inside.
Shen Li covered her nose with her hands. The smell in the passage was not pleasant, and there was also a metal smell.
Shen Li glanced at the person beside her calmly. It seemed that this was going to be a tricky situation.
An Yi waved his hand, and about 200 secret guards appeared behind him. They were all wearing uniform clothes with a pattern of auspicious clouds embroidered on their collars, which looked very unique.
An Yi led his men in first, and the injured Tian Qing was still following Pei Yu.
"Miss Shen, can you come in and take a look?"
Shen Li nodded his chin towards the passage to signal him to go first. Pei Yu rode in front, Shen Li followed behind him, and Tian Qing followed behind and closed the stone door.
As soon as the stone door was closed, the view inside the passage became darker, but Tianqing behind quickly lit a torch and the view became bright again.
This passage is quite wide and can accommodate a carriage. It took a lot of effort to open such a passage in the mountain wall. It seems that the water in it is very deep!
Shen Li didn't want to come in, but if she retreated at this time, the unlucky guy would inevitably speculate whether she knew something. It would be better to come in openly and dispel the unlucky guy's suspicion.
This passage is not long, only about 300 meters, and you will soon reach the end.
I didn't expect that there was a valley inside this mountain. The valley was surrounded by mountains of varying sizes, and the entire valley was lush and green.
There is a lake in the middle of the valley, and on both sides of the lake there are many fields planted with crops.
Seeing this scene, everyone thought that this might be a secluded place, but the iron smell coming from the passage just now could not be false, it was just an illusion.
At this moment, the tranquility of the valley was disrupted by their group of people. An Yi had already led his men to capture people.
All they saw before them were women and children. The old and young looked very deceptive, but there was not a single adult male, or even a single able-bodied man, among them. This was very strange.
An Yi and his men acted quickly. They tied up the man in no time and led him back to the mountain.
After a while, An Yi appeared in front of Pei Yu, "Master, I suddenly found a cave."
"Ah."
Pei Yu looked at Shen Li, "Miss Shen, do you want to go with us?"
"No need, the scenery in this valley is very beautiful, I'll just take a walk here."
Shen Li got off the horse, and Chi Yan walked to the side to eat grass. Meeting Pei Yu's indifferent eyes, the girl had an indifferent smile on her face.
"Knowing too much about some things is not good for me and my family. What do you think, Master Wei?"
Pei Yu's eyes flashed with a faint smile, "That girl is free to do as she pleases."
After watching them walk away, Shen Li started to stroll around here. She walked to the lake, picked a handful of tender gray vegetables, and took them back to eat in the evening.
As we walked, we came to the thatched houses. Most of the houses in the valley are thatched houses, but there are a few exceptions, near the back mountain, where there are rows of blue brick and tile houses.
Pei Yu left two people to guard the women, children, the elderly and the young. Because of his words "whatever you want", his two men did not stop Shen Li.
Shen Li walked into the thatched hut and disappeared from their sight.
The two men hesitated for a moment but still did not go forward. The girl was alone, what could she take away?
Moreover, the master had already spoken, and they dared not stop him, because the master now hated people who disobeyed orders and betrayed him the most.
These rooms are all locked, but whatever is inside cannot escape Shen Li's eyes.
Shen Li looked at the things inside with her eyes shining. Counting from the right to the left, the first tile house to the third house were filled with grain, both brown rice and refined rice. The whole house was full.
Next is the room filled with jewelry and other items. It looks quite messy and may have been obtained by these people during robbery.
The room next to the jewelry was filled with silver, and then there was a room full of boxes of gold bars. The quantity was enough to make anyone excited.
The next few rooms were filled with weapons, including knives, swords, spears, arrows, etc., and there were quite a few of them.
The doors were all locked. Shen Li used her mental power to defend them, then summoned a wooden vine and pushed a small gap open on the window to get in.
Although Pei Yu promised to reward her, there were too many things here, and Shen Li was just an ordinary person, so it was hard not to be tempted.
Besides, without her leadership, these people would have to waste a lot of effort to get in, so it is only right for her to collect some compensation.
Shen Li collected six boxes of gold bars in the gold house. There were so many here. Even if Pei Yu knew how many there were, with so many people in the valley, it was inevitable that some would embezzle. It was normal to have less.
I collected six boxes of jewellery in the jewellery shop, of course from the back. If I collected them from the front, the marks left on the ground would be too obvious.
As for the room full of silver, Shen Li also collected six boxes, which were carefully selected. Most of them were official silver with official seals on them. They were probably used by the court for disaster relief or for other purposes.
But it is obvious that the money has not been put to good use, otherwise it would not be gathering here and gathering dust.
