Chapter 283

He said that he needed Hu Xing'er's help, but Xiao Beimu took her to the entrance of a cave in an old forest deep in the mountains.

Coming to such a gloomy place in the middle of the night, Hu Xing'er was a little bit scared even if he was a bold one.

This is different from the cave they stayed in before. Although they lived in a cave before, that cave was in a bright place.

When you come out of the cave, you can see the village below the mountain. When the sun is out, the sun can also shine into the cave.

But this cave is different, it is hidden in a large forest, not to mention it is night, even if it is June day, it is estimated that the downside is just as gloomy.

Although this season is not particularly hot, the snake has passed the hibernation period.

Breaking into such a cave in the middle of the night, there should be no beasts in it, and there should be things like snakes, mice, rats and ants. After all, they like such a dark and humid environment the most.

"Go, go in and have a look." Xiao Beimu didn't deny her guess, but said softly.

"No, if you want to go back to live in the cave for a few days, we can talk about it. You don't have to bring me here in the middle of the night. If I didn't believe in you, I would treat you as a bad person."

Hu Xing'er looked around the dark cave, thinking about it as he walked.

It was pitch black in the cave, and the faint light of her flashlight could only illuminate a small area in front of their eyes.

This cave is very deep, I don't know how many times larger than the cave I lived in before, and there will be a lot of echo when I speak.

Although Xiao Beimu was by her side, Hu Xing'er couldn't help being a little nervous.

After walking for about half a stick of incense, I could feel that the space in the cave became more and more empty as I walked in. Just when Hu Xing'er thought it was a bottomless pit, Xiao Beimu finally stopped.

"Huh? Are you here?" Hu Xing'er stopped following him and asked quietly.

"Well, it's here." Xiao Beimu smiled lightly and clapped his hands.

Hu Xing'er was very puzzled, why were she clapping her hands in this cave.

Her doubts only lasted for a moment, and in the next moment, a light suddenly lit up in the cave.

This lamp has a little yellowish candlelight, more than a dozen of them lighted up at the same time, and it actually illuminates the cave brightly.

In addition to candles, there are many large wooden boxes in the cave, and there are two people standing next to each large wooden box.

Those who were dressed in iron clothes and also covered their heads with iron helmets stood there expressionless, like statues.

Fortunately, Xiao Beimu kept holding Hu Xing'er's hand, otherwise Hu Xing'er would have screamed in fright.

"Major General." A middle-aged man's voice sounded in the cave.

The one who called Xiao Beimu the Major General was none other than Feng Zhi's father, who was also the commander of the iron cavalry.

He is also wearing an iron suit, but it can be seen that his iron suit is still different from others.

After he called Major General, Hu Xing'er and Xiao Beimu looked at him together.

"Uncle Feng." Xiao Beimu responded.

"This is the person you said, thin and small, what can she do?"

Uncle Feng walked towards Xiao Beimu and Xiao Beimu with a knife in his arms, and the iron clothes on his body made a knocking sound as he walked.

Such an iron suit must be very heavy on the body, Hu Xing'er thought so.

Xiao Beimu kept holding her hand, even when Uncle Feng walked in front of the two of them, he never let go.

"Xing'er, this is Uncle Feng, Feng Zhi's father." He turned his head and said to Hu Xing'er.

"Hello Uncle Feng." Hu Xing'er let go of his hand and saluted Uncle Feng.

"It's very polite, and the birth is not bad." Uncle Feng looked at her small face and nodded slightly.

"It's just that I'm a little thinner, I'm afraid I won't be able to suffer."

Hu Xing'er, who had just saluted, raised her head: "Who said that a small body can't endure hardships, don't all fat people become fat after suffering hardships?"

Uncle Feng was taken aback, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Xiao Beimu also bowed his head, the corners of his mouth twitching wildly.

"Tsk, you have a good tongue." Uncle Feng said.

Hu Xing'er frowned, why did she think that Uncle Feng didn't like her very much?
"Okay, let's get down to business first. Let's have a good talk when Uncle Feng comes to Xinyu tomorrow."

Xiao Beimu interrupted Uncle Feng's words at the right time, raised his hand and waved lightly.

All the cavalry were ordered to open the wooden boxes beside them one after another.

There are about twenty mouths in these boxes, and each mouthful can hold a strong man.

Just now, Hu Xing'er was curious about what was inside, but when she opened it, she was shocked.

Each of these boxes was filled to the brim, and when opened, they glowed yellow-orange under the candlelight.

Hu Xing'er frowned, and turned to look at Xiao Beimu.

"Come on, come and see." Xiao Beimu led her to the nearest box and said with a chuckle.

Hu Xing'er felt that his breathing was a little short, followed Xiao Beimu to take two steps forward, and reached out to touch the things in the box.

Good guy, this golden yellow is actually all gold!

There are more than 20 boxes, half of which are filled with gold.

The remaining half was not empty either. There were silver ingots in it, and the big ones were worth 50 taels.

Even without looking at the gold, the amount of silver alone is enough to surprise people.

"This is...?" She turned her head to look at Xiao Beimu, did this person move the treasure house here?

"This is the result of my return to Chenri this time. All these gold and silver were hidden by the emperor of Chenli Dynasty. Although Chenri has already fallen into Gu Qingzhi's hands, as long as he does not get the gold and silver, he will sit on the throne." unstable."

Xiao Beimu reached out to pick up an ingot of gold, and said in a deep voice.

"How did you transport so many things?" Hu Xing'er was stunned.

These chests were filled with gold and silver, and each mouthful was heavy. There are more than 20 boxes, is it true that they will not be found when they are shipped like this?

"It's thanks to Uncle Feng's iron cavalry. Without their help, the people I brought would have been unable to transport these things here." Xiao Beimu glanced at Uncle Feng and said gratefully.

"Why do you need to be polite, major general? We were born to protect the emperor. Now that the late emperor is dead, the little prince is the object of our allegiance. Since the major general is responsible for educating the prince, if you ask us, we will obey."

Uncle Feng raised his hand slightly, speaking in a very official tone.

"So, you brought these things here to hide them here?"

Hu Xing'er swallowed her saliva and looked at the cave.

This cave is indeed very hidden, but there are also some hunters or snake catchers who will break in.

So much gold and silver is hidden here, I'm afraid it can't be hidden.

"No, these things are not hidden here." Xiao Beimu shook his head firmly.

With so much gold and silver, since he has taken it, he can't give Gu Qingzhi any room to take it away.

"Then what are you transporting here for?" Hu Xing'er was even more confused.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Beimu, but Xiao Beimu looked at her deeply and did not speak.
