Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2338: A cunning rabbit has three burrows?

After Hongye and Meilin left, Xue Ruitian and others came over. Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu looked at the volumes on the ground and felt overwhelmed.

"What's recorded in here? Why are there so many?" Xia Jiu squatted down and flipped open one of the books. The densely packed small characters on it made him feel a little dizzy. "Are they all the secrets of the royal family of the previous dynasty? Why do they have so many things to say? They don't eat this or that. They are really delicate."

"It's not that they are spoiled. It's probably because they are born with problems, so we need to pay attention to them." Shen Jiu sighed softly and said, "This is probably the disadvantage of them always marrying relatives."

"That's true."

"You two are both right. But if they are not in trouble, we don't have to worry about the box falling into the hands of outsiders, right? We won't have the chance to see these, right?" Xue Ruitian looked at the box over and over, reached out and touched the inside of the box, turned his head and looked at Jin Miaomiao, "Are you sure there is nothing in it?"

"Sure, what's wrong?"

Xue Ruitian didn't answer, but just smiled and reached out to knock on the box, which made a crisp thumping sound.

"It's empty." Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows. "With such a thickness, the sound it makes is actually like this. Could it be correct? Miaomiao, don't forget, this is black iron."

"That's true. This thickness shouldn't make this kind of sound."

Jin Miaomiao came over and pulled the black iron box over. She first weighed it in her hand, then put on gloves and touched every edge. When she touched the bottom, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"How is it?" Xue Ruitian watched Jin Miaomiao run to the door of the main room with the iron box in her arms, "Where are you going?"

Jin Miaomiao chose a position, put on her mask, turned around and made a gesture to Xue Ruitian to keep quiet.

"Tell me," Xue Ruitian approached Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, stretched out his hand and tugged at the two people who were still reading the booklet, "Why aren't you two curious at all? What on earth can Miaomiao find?"

"What's there to be curious about? We'll know once we find it." Shen Cha glanced at Xue Ruitian and said with a smile, "Look at the size of the box. If there's anything you can put in it, it's probably just a blueprint or something like that. But as for what the blueprint is, I don't know."

"Cha'er is right. Once we open the box, we'll know what's inside. There's no need to rush." ​​Shen Haolin looked at Xue Ruitian and raised his hand to Shen Jiu beside him, "Find a stool for your brother Xiaotian. His legs will get numb from squatting for a while."

Shen Jiu responded, ran to the corner of the main room and got two stools, then went out through the side door and got two more from the next room.

"I guess there are only so many stools in this house." He placed two stools and looked at the front door. "Is Sister Miao Miao not done yet?"

"It won't be that fast. We have to do it slowly, especially this box. We have to return it to the owner later, so there can't be any flaws. If someone finds out, it will be bad." Xue Ruitian smiled at Shen Cha, "Are you going to use this as bait?"

"Hmm!" Shen Cha finished reading the second booklet, nodded slightly, turned around, took out the previously drawn map, and handed it to Xue Ruitian, "Brother Xiaotian, tell your guards not to be idle. Now that they are here, they should do some work. Dig all the circled places, just as deep as this pit." "Wow, that's a lot!" Xue Ruitian nodded, "Okay, let them dig, they are idle anyway." After speaking, he looked at Shen Jiu, then at Xia Jiu, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What about you two? Do you want to get busy too?"

"We can't do it. We've been busy for a while. We won't cause trouble for our brothers." Xia Jiu took the blueprint and pulled out a similar one from his arms. "We can do the work of running errands and delivering messages."

After saying that, without waiting for Xue Ruitian to react, he dragged Shen Jiu and ran out. As a result, he tripped himself after running only two steps. If Shen Jiu hadn't been beside him, he might have fallen.

"Slow down, no one is chasing you." Xue Ruitian shook his head helplessly, "I don't know how this kid survived on the battlefield."

"He's a general on horseback, so he doesn't have to run around anymore." Shen Cha sighed, "You transferred him back from the scout camp because he kept falling down? And he always got bruised and battered every time he fell down?"

"It's hard to believe that he likes to charge forward and always makes achievements." Xue Ruitian smiled helplessly, "You don't know that every time my aunt hears about his bravery on the battlefield, she always sighs. This kid is really lucky!"

"No one knows a child better than his mother. Although the Queen Mother said so, she is very worried in her heart." Shen Cha looked at Jin Miaomiao at the door and smiled, "Miaomiao, if you can't open it, don't force it. If it really can't be opened, it may be empty and there is nothing inside."

Jin Miaomiao didn't say anything, but just stood up, walked back with something in her hand and handed it to Shen Haolin.

"Take a look. This is probably the most valuable thing in the whole box."

Jin Miaomiao took off her mask and gloves, washed her hands again, sat next to Xue Ruitian, snatched the tea from his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

"what is this?"

Shen Cha opened the thing Jin Miaomiao handed over to her. It was an oil paper package wrapped very tightly, and it was wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside. She carefully opened the oil paper package, and there was still a square paper package folded inside.

"Miao Miao, what on earth is this that you can tell is unusual?" Shen Cha looked at the paper bag helplessly, "You come and open it!"

"If it wasn't important, it wouldn't be placed in such a secret place."

Jin Miaomiao put down the teacup, looked at the paper package, and immediately understood how to open it. She opened the paper package in no time. After opening it, she found that it was a set of maps. There were three maps in total, and they all seemed to be maps of a certain city or county.

"This is..." Jin Miaomiao looked at the three maps. Two of the city maps had several circles drawn on them. The last one was a map of a small island. There was a big circle drawn on the map, and a line of small words was written next to it. "The last place?"

"This..." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, and then exchanged glances with Jin Miaomiao, "Could this be the three burrows of Master Falian? And this small island is where he is hiding now?"
