Chapter 18 The Wu Family's Calculations

The hoarse voice was like a mysterious summoning, which led Yan Yuqing to slowly turn around.

At this time, her shoulder was suddenly tapped, which scared her to froze in the distance.

Wu Qingzhi appeared in front of her with a depressed face.

"I've almost finished a circle, but I still haven't found the secret door. Have you noticed anything here?" Wu Qingzhi asked casually, his eyes still looking around.

In fact, he just asked casually. He knew that if Yan Yuqing really found it, would she still stay here?

Yan Yuqing shook her head and said, "I've looked for it there, but you'd better go and take a look. I'm afraid I'll miss it."

Wu Qingzhi nodded and walked towards the mural.

Seeing that he looked carefully, Yan Yuqing slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at the purple gem in her hand.

Just when Wu Qingzhi called her, Yan Yuqing became nervous and knocked off the purple gem on the coffin.

Logically speaking, the things inlaid on the coffin lid should be very solid, because they have to go through steps such as carrying the coffin, burying, etc. If they are not firm, they will fall off accidentally, and there is no chance of being seen by Yan Yuqing here.

But how can I explain this? The fact that the gem fell off after touching it.

She knew that this heart-shaped gem was the favorite thing the tomb owner had in his lifetime. She held the gem and prepared to gently put it back to the original place of the coffin lid.

For some reason, it turned out that the place where the heart-shaped gems were inlaid could not be placed back. I don’t know how the skilled craftsmen at that time carved it, so anxious that Yan Yuqing’s sideburns were so sweaty.

She looked at the entire coffin in panic, hoping to find another way.

Next to the heart-shaped gem, she found the same words on the golden nanmu wooden coffin before.

Yan Yuqing read it carefully again, and it was written about the marching and formation technique that echoed the smelting technique there.

The whole article talks about the regular marching and formation, but relies on unexpected and bizarre methods, and go against the sword to defeat the more with less.

Yan Yuqing looked up at Wu Qingzhi who was still admiring the murals, with doubts in her eyes.

What exactly did his ancestors do? Yan Yuqing originally thought he was the prince of a certain dynasty, but judging from the number of troops they used throughout the article, it was difficult to become a country with a small number.

unless......

It's a family.

Yan Yuqing suddenly felt that the tomb was full of gloomy weirdness.

In fact, this feeling was a little bit more or less when she saw Wu Jinsong or even Wu Qingzhi, but that feeling was very subtle and could easily be ignored.

At this time, her feelings had never been so strong. She felt that all this should have a close relationship with the bride that the prince was stolen.

Before Yan Yuqing could come out of her thoughts, Wu Qingzhi had already come to her side.

When he saw the heart-shaped gem in Yan Yuqing's hand, his eyes emitted a light of depression for a long time and joy from the heart.

But he quickly restrained all his emotions and looked at Yan Yuqing as before and said, "We have found the secret door, let's go."

Yan Yuqing heard that she could go out, and was surprised and said with apologies, "I'm sorry, I accidentally touched the gems on your ancestor's coffin just now. But I really didn't mean it."

Wu Qingzhi was not angry, but comforted Yan Yuqing and said, "It's okay. Maybe it's because the time has been loose for too long. It's not a rare thing anyway. You can take it first, let's talk about it later. It's important for us to go out first."

When Yan Yuqing heard Wu Qingzhi say this, she thought she would go out first. It would not be too late to apologize and return it when she saw the elder of Wu. Then she would find some people who are good at carving in the department and put them back. If she pays some money, they will never make things difficult for the younger generation.

Yan Yuqing made up her mind and tightened the heart-shaped purple gem in her hand and followed Wu Qingzhi.

Just saw him pressing the sedan chair on the mural, an invisible secret door slowly opened.

Just when Yan Yuqing thought that everything was over and she finally regained her freedom, she didn't know that what was waiting for her next would be unforgettable for her.

The door slowly opened. On the other side of the door is the Wu Clan Ancestral Hall.

The simple and exquisite carving craftsmanship and the fresh fruits placed on the table all show that people often clean it here.

Just as Wu Qingzhi and Yan Yuqing were about to go out, an old voice came from above.

"Wait a moment."

Yan Yuqing looked at the sound and found that the ancestral hall had a second floor, but there was no one on it.

While breathing, a middle-aged man with long beard appeared from the door they had just come out.

He looked at the two juniors in front of him with a kind look, waved to them, "Come here and chat with me."

Isn’t this the old voice just now? Yan Yuqing was shocked again, but she didn’t show her face and followed Wu Qingzhi to the middle of the ancestral hall.

Then he saw Wu Qingzhi bow to the man and called respectfully: "Hello uncle. I am the younger generation of Wu family, Wu Qingzhi, pay homage to the uncle."

After saying that, he knocked three poems.

The man's eyes moved from Wu Qingzhi to Yan Yuqing.

The elegant and clear face and a pair of all-encompassing eyes made Yan Yuqing not know what to do for a moment. Should she kneel down and reply like Wu Qingzhi, or just stand like this.

While hesitating, Wu Qingzhi pulled Yan Yuqing's skirt, and Yan Yuqing bowed and said, "My younger generation Yan Yuqing, pay homage to the elder Wu."

As he said that, he presented the heart-shaped gem in his hand with both hands. At this time, the gem had changed from purple in the tomb to deep blue. Yan Yuqing was secretly shocked. Could this be the legendary color-changing sapphire? It was not obvious on the face.

"This is a gem that I accidentally touched in the tomb. Now it is returned to you. When I go back, I will destiny that someone in my family will come to repair it as before. I hope you can forgive me for my unintentional mistakes." Yan Yuqing said, bowing deeply.

"Miss Yan?" the man murmured, falling into deep thought.

Wu Qingzhi had already stood up and looked at Yan Yuqing, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"Uncle" Wu Qingzhi shouted in a low voice.

When the man heard him call him, he slowly pulled out of his thoughts and said to Yan Yuqing: "This is what she gave to you, so there is no need to return it to me. It is not my thing. If she refuses to give it to you, you will not be able to get it so easily and leave safely."

After saying that, he shouted, "Come."

A row of doors of the ancestral hall were opened at the same time in an instant, and someone led the two out of the ancestral hall.

The long-lost sunshine and fresh air made Yan Yuqing feel better.

It seemed that she wouldn't feel hungry no matter how long she stayed in the tomb. As soon as she came out, she began to miss Vipshop's wine balls.

"Girl, you can't leave yet." A servant stopped Yan Yuqing who was about to leave the Wu Mansion.

Yan Yuqing glanced at him and said in a bad tone: "I'm hungry and I'm going out for dinner!"

Is there any wink? How long has it been since I finally got out, and someone dares to stop me.

The servant was glared at by Yan Yuqing and said with a smile: "What do the girl want to eat? I'll order someone to do it now."

"I want to eat Vipshop's wine-making meatballs, will you make them?" Yan Yuqing was already a little annoyed, and she said with a pressure on her temper.

"The little one is going to buy it for you now." The servant was still smiling, and he couldn't tell that Yan Yuqing was already full of displeasure.

"No need, the meatballs are not delicious if they are cold. I can go by myself, it's not far anyway." As he said that, Yan Yuqing raised his foot and prepared to step out of the door.

The servant stopped Yan Yuqing without any trace and said, "That little warmth is brought back to you, so I can't be cold."

After hearing this, Yan Yuqing began to look at the servant suspiciously.

The servant is not like an ordinary servant who works in a wealthy family.

Yan Yuqing recalled that when he first appeared, there was almost no sound. Even now he was so close, he could not hear his breathing sound. He must have practiced martial arts and his martial arts are not weak.

It is usually etiquette for people to keep guests, but if the guests repeatedly indicate that they want to leave, the host will follow the guests and will not force them to stay like now.
