Chapter 350 Stockpiling Mission 1
Zhang Xintong took off her wedding dress and put on a set of men's clothes.
Zhang Xintong went to the warehouse and used the Huanyan Pearl to transform herself into the appearance of Xiao Yu's grandfather (the Huanyan Pearl was collected from the Phoenix and Dragon King worlds and can change the appearance of the wearer, allowing the wearer to become any appearance they want)
The Rejuvenating Pearl could only change one's appearance, not one's body. Therefore, Zhang Xintong was much shorter than Xiao Yu's grandfather. However, the mansion was in such a mess that no one would pay attention to these things. By the time they discovered them, Zhang Xintong might have disappeared.
There were only two people guarding the storehouse. After Zhang Xintong sent them away, she opened the lock with a small clip. The Zhan Prince's Mansion was awarded to the Zhan Prince Xiao Yu by the late emperor. Because Xiao Yu's grandfather was still alive and the family had not divided, the whole family lived in the Zhan Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Yu's grandfather was a poor scholar from a poor family. He was able to study and pass the imperial examinations thanks to his wife's dowry. Although he achieved the top scorer in the imperial examinations, he had no background and for many years he only achieved the fourth rank.
Xiao Yu's grandfather had only one wife and one concubine. His wife gave birth to Xiao Yu's father, the eldest son. The concubine gave birth to Xiao Yu's second uncle, Xiao Heng's father. Although the family was simple, the wife and concubine did not get along.
The wife was of commoner origin, while the concubine was the illegitimate daughter of a seventh-rank official. Due to their different statuses, both of them disliked each other.
Xiao Yu's grandfather preferred the daughter of an official, but he did not dare to divorce her because of her kindness, for fear that people would say he was unfaithful.
There weren't many things in the storeroom; they were all gifts from the late emperor for Xiao Yu's military exploits during his time fighting on the front lines. Most of them were jade ornaments, and Zhang Xintong didn't examine them closely before storing them all in her storage.
After clearing out the warehouse, Zhang Xintong went to Xiao Yu's mother's smaller warehouse, which held her dowry. Her dowry was even larger than the previous warehouse: six boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry, four sets of head ornaments, dozens of hairpins, 6 bolts of fabric, two 4-year-old ginseng plants, and some supplements. Zhang Xintong stored everything in her space, leaving nothing behind. If she had kept any, it would have been confiscated, so she might as well have gotten away with it.
Finally, Zhang Xintong put the original owner's dowry, Zhang Shu's dowry, and the valuable things from the second house into the space.
After collecting the valuables, Zhang Xintong also swept the food storage area. She left the things in the kitchen untouched. Prince Zhan's mansion would be raided tomorrow, so she had to leave some food for the family, but she couldn't go too far.
"Xiao 9, is there anything else you're confiscating?"
"Tongtong, the rest are things from other people's rooms, we won't take them, let's go to the palace to collect them!"
"I haven't practiced yet, and I don't have any internal energy. Even if I put on an invisibility talisman and knew some martial arts moves, the palace is full of masters who can spot me by my aura. Xiao 9, are you asking me to be killed?"
"Tongtong, how could I harm you? There is a secret passage outside the palace that leads directly to the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury."
"Is this true? Is the emperor stupid? Doesn't he know?"
"The secret passage was dug by the current emperor's great-grandfather, so he doesn't know about it. The information in the system can't be wrong, don't worry!"
"Can we just take the money from the treasury? What if the people have problems and the treasury can't provide money?"
"This emperor is a tyrant. Not only did he kill loyal ministers, he also squandered the national treasury, leaving it unused for the people. He can only remain emperor for another five years before he is overthrown."
"Okay, where is the entrance to the secret passage outside the palace?"
"A ruined temple outside the city"
"Xiao 9, you're giving me a hard time. The city gates are closed and the walls are so high."
"Tongtong, you can do it, think of a way!"
Zhang Xintong didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao 9. She put an invisibility talisman on herself and walked towards the city gate. The city gate had long been closed. The city wall was over 10 meters high. Without internal strength, it was impossible to climb up. She had to find another way.
There is a staircase leading to the city wall next to the city gate, but there are people guarding the front, so it is difficult to go up secretly.
Zhang Xintong observed for a long time, still trying to figure out a solution, when she saw a soldier running down the tower, clutching his stomach. Zhang Xintong used the Rejuvenating Pearl to instantly transform into a soldier and walked up the tower.
The soldier guarding the stairs didn't react for a moment. He didn't realize why he came back just after coming down, and he didn't notice that his clothes were different.
Zhang Xintong walked very fast. When she reached the tower, she tied a 20-meter-long rope to the huge stone on the tower. The rope was thrown out of the tower, and Zhang Xintong quickly landed outside the city along the rope. After landing, Zhang Xintong ran away quickly without stopping.
Zhang Xintong was so fast that by the time the soldiers defending the city reacted, she had already run far away.
The soldiers guarding the city were in chaos. If anyone ran away from the city and was discovered, all the soldiers tonight would be punished.
The leader of the soldiers told everyone to be patient, saying it was just one person who ran away, no big deal, and that no one should tell anyone about what happened tonight. Everyone was fine. For their own benefit, everyone spoke in unison.
Zhang Xintong followed the route given by Xiao 9 and headed straight for the ruined temple outside the city. The ruined temple outside the city was not like this before. It used to be very popular. Later, a larger temple was opened on the mountain not far away. The number of people here became smaller and smaller, and it gradually declined and became what it is today.
There were two little beggars sleeping in the dilapidated temple. Zhang Xintong didn't want to disturb them, so she gave them some sleeping pills that allowed them to sleep until the next morning.
"Xiao 9, where is the entrance?"
"Inside the Buddha's belly, enter from behind."
There is a handcuff behind the Buddha, which is very hidden. Zhang Xintong found it quickly under the guidance of Xiao 9. After entering the belly of the Buddha, there is another mechanism on the floor. After solving this mechanism, Zhang Xintong entered the underground passage.
The passage was built very wide and large, and six people could walk side by side. The city was too far away from the palace, and it would take a long time to walk there. Zhang Xintong took out an electric bike from the space and rode it towards the palace.
"Xiao 9, why did the emperor build this passage?"
"At the time, his throne was unstable and he was afraid of accidents. One reason was to keep him alive and the other was to transport the things in the palace out."
"Then he didn't tell his descendants?"
"I told you, the throne is passed down from one emperor to the next. The current emperor on the throne obtained the throne by poisoning the previous emperor. The previous emperor died too quickly, leaving him no time to reveal the secrets."
"The current emperor is too evil. No wonder he will be overthrown in five years."
Zhang Xintong first went to the emperor's private library
"Xiao 9, where is the entrance? How do I get in?"
"Tongtong, the national treasury and the private treasury can only be opened from the inside. The emperor who built the secret passage is not stupid. He is leaving a way out for himself. He will not let people from outside the palace steal his things or threaten his life. Use the cutting talisman paper."
Zhang Xintong put the electric bike back into the space and took out the cutting talisman paper. Soon, a passage wide enough for one person to pass through appeared in front of Zhang Xintong.
