Chapter 5470 Treasure
"How many brothers were injured?" Zi Yan said.
"We also suffered dozens of casualties. There was nothing we could do. They fought too hard, so there were not many left alive this time." Ji Lianqi said with a slap in his mouth.
Zi Yan glanced at Ji Lianqi, she only believed half of what he said.
It is true that there is the reason mentioned by Ji Lianqi, but more importantly, he is a bit changed, bloodthirsty, and kills people like chickens. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will kill him.
However, what does this have to do with her? He is from the Ji family, and he is also a lackey who surrenders to her. That is enough.
"Master Jiang, I have strictly ordered my subordinates not to hide the gold and silver treasures in the cellar." Li Qingyan said while raising his eyebrows at Ji Lianqi.
"Look what I did? Didn't I give the order? Do you think my Ji family has any hidden secrets? In terms of loyalty to Mr. Jiang, I, Ji Lianqi, is much stronger than you. I have given orders to Mr. Jiang. , I, Ji Lianqi, never give in!" Ji Lianqi said loudly.
"Okay, this matter can be found out just by looking at it." Zi Yan waved her hand.
She will not completely trust these two people. After all, she knows exactly what their character is.
The reason why they were able to surrender was because she was stronger than them. She not only defeated these two people, but also controlled their core secrets and gave them a controllable poison.
She does not think that she is charming enough for them to surrender willingly.
And in this way, once she becomes weak, the two dogs may bite their owner in turn.
So, hearing is false and seeing is believing. Only what you have seen with your own eyes is reliable.
The layout of the entire house is in the Jiangnan garden style, with various corridors, balconies, and pavilions, hidden among the water and flowers.
If it weren't for the many people who died along the way, the scenery would be enough to make people forget to leave.
"Young Master Jiang, it's just ahead. The entrance is in the middle of the rockery." Li Qingyan pointed ahead.
"Qingyuan, does the Li family have such an arrangement?" Zi Yan glanced sideways at Li Qingyuan.
Li Qingyuan kept following Zi Yan. He didn’t say anything along the way. After all, he was not like people like Ji Lianqi and Li Qingyan whose hands were full of blood. He was still a little uncomfortable seeing so much blood. , his face was a little pale at this moment.
Hearing Zi Yan's question, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "There is a cellar hidden in the rockery. This kind of arrangement is found in many wealthy merchants, and it is not too unusual. ”
"Okay, let's go in and have a look."
Zi Yan nodded. Just as she was about to take a step, Ji Lianqi, who was standing next to her, immediately stepped forward.
"Master Jiang, I will lead the way." Ji Lianqi said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, you go in front, Qingyan goes in the back, Qingyuan you follow me." Zi Yan rearranged the situation.
Ji Lianqi walked in front, his palm pressed on the handle of the waist knife, always on guard.
He patted the edge of the rockery with his palm, and the rockery in the middle moved sideways, revealing a hole.
It’s not dark inside because there is an oil lamp every few steps.
“We walked for a while and saw a lot of gold and silver treasures, so we went back and closed the door again, but I don’t know if anyone is still guarding it or if there is any danger. "Ji Lianqi said.
"Don't be afraid if there is danger. We can't hide many people in the cellar." Zi Yan said, "Come in together."
Walking into the cave, Zi Yan felt a warmth.
It was already winter, and the temperature outside was low, but it was very warm inside the cave. This was because the temperature changes in the cave were not as dramatic as outside, so it was warm in winter and cool in summer.
Stepping in, after walking for a while, he turned a corner and Zi Yan's eyes lit up.
Ji Lianqi and Li Qingyan did not lie. As expected, there are a lot of gold and silver treasures here. Boxes of gold and silver were piled up throughout the room, and there were many shelves with jewelry, all open and unsealed. It seemed that many of them had been sent in recently.
There is a door on the side, and it seems that there is a cave inside.
"Young Master Jiang, do you want to open that door?" Ji Lianqi asked.
“Go.” Zi Yan nodded.
Ji Lianqi directly pulled out the waist knife, grabbed it in his hand, and walked quickly inside. When he approached the door, he pushed the door open with one hand and raised the knife with the other.
This door is an ordinary wooden door. Push it hard and it will open.
Then, Ji Lianqi's eyes flashed as three crossbow arrows, followed by two sword rays, struck at him.
Ji Lianqi quickly jumped back, fell to the ground and rolled out.
Although the posture was very unsightly, fortunately, he successfully avoided the crossbow arrows and sword light.
The crossbow arrow missed Ji Lianqi. With a few pops, it hit the nearby stone wall and sank into it. The tail was still trembling, which showed that it was very powerful. If it had hit Ji Lianqi, the armor on his body might not be able to protect him. live.
The two swordsmen who slashed the sword light stepped out quickly. They both held slender blades in their hands and held the swords in both hands. Judging from the posture, they were similar to the Japanese swordsmen of the Sunrise Kingdom.
Oriental people call their Japanese swords swords, but in Daqi, only those with two edges are called swords. This is the result of the cultural differences between the two sides.
"Hey!"
The two swordsmen shouted in their mouths, the swords in their hands flashed, and they struck at Ji Lianqi who had just escaped the disaster on the ground.
Quickly and accurately!
This sword technique must have something to do with the Japanese, Zi Yan has already determined it in her heart.
The moment Ji Lianqi retreated, both Zi Yan and Li Qingyan started to move, but Li Qingyuan squatted on the ground obediently and didn't move. He didn't have any martial arts skills anyway. If he rushed forward to die, he might as well hide behind and not drag others down. Woolen cloth.
"Clang, Clang..."
The sound of two metal collisions sounded.
The two swordsmen stepped back. They struck at Ji Lianqi's blade, but were blocked by Zi Yan's soft sword.
Just from Zi Yan's move, they judged that this was a powerful enemy. If they didn't deal with it carefully, they would fall into trouble here.
"Who are you from Yagyu?" Zi Yan said loudly.
The two swordsmen didn't speak, but their eyes fluctuated, and Zi Yan immediately understood that they were really Japanese, or Japanese who knew Yagyu.
Zi Yan knows some Japanese people, but the most powerful among them is Yagyu.
This man is obsessed with swords and has reached a very high level in swordsmanship. His one-sword-style swordsmanship can only be achieved without drawing the sword. Once he draws the sword, it is earth-shattering. He is really only one step away from being a master.
Except for the Grandmaster, there are probably not many people in the world who can defeat Yagyu.
Yagyu is so powerful, and his status among the Japanese people must be high. It is just right to use him to test the two swordsmen.
"Be careful, there are crossbow arrows inside." Zi Yan said sideways.
"Do you want to ask someone to come in?" Li Qingyan, who was standing a little behind, asked.
"No, the three of us are enough..." Zi Yan paused and glanced at Li Qingyuan, who was squatting on the ground. In addition to the three of them, there was also Li Qingyuan, who had rudimentary martial arts.
