Chapter 62 Treasure Chest
Since Li Jue led the troops to withdraw southward, Li Feng has been following Li Jue's footsteps.

The box brought from Chang'an has never been opened.

In the chaos of the army, if he opens the box and finds that it is a gold brick or some other treasure, Li Feng feels that the fate of this treasure and himself may end.

It is very likely that people will kill people and steal treasures, including Li Jue.

But without opening the box, no one knows what's inside, everyone can only guess, and no one wants to risk something they don't know what it is.

That's why Li Feng was able to bring the box to the present.

Li Feng put the box on the horse and followed the army towards Xinye.

Xinye is the gateway to Jingzhou. If you want to enter Jingzhou, you can only go through Xinye.

Jingzhou has a typical southern climate. Although it is already winter, the humidity is heavy and the roads are muddy.

The horses in the north walk on such a road, and it is very difficult.

Finally, three days later, I came to Xinye Castle.

Liu Biao had long known that Li Jue and others were coming to Xinye, and had already dispatched general Cai Mao to lead troops to Xinye.

Although Liu Biao was old, his heart still yearned for the Han Dynasty. If it wasn't for the inconvenience of mobility, Liu Biao would definitely scold Li Jue and others severely.

But Liu Biao is like this, but it does not mean that Cai Mao is like this.

Cai Mao's sister, Mrs. Cai, is Liu Biao's step-wife. When Liu Biao first started, he saw that Liu Qi looked similar to himself, so he loved Liu Qi very much.But later because Liu Cong married Mrs. Cai's niece, Mrs. Cai loved Liu Cong and hated Liu Qi, so she often said some bad things about Liu Qi to Liu Biao.

And Cai Mao naturally knew why his sister hated Liu Qi. Liu Biao had two sons, and if there were no accidents, it was unlikely that he would have a third son.

So after Liu Biao's death, who will succeed Jingzhou?
Mrs. Cai naturally hoped that Liu Cong would come to the throne, so Jingzhou would be entirely up to them.

If this is the case, it is necessary to support a lot of party members. If Liu Biao changes his mind, he can also suppress it.

Therefore, Cai Mao really wants Li Jue to stay. Li Jue is based in the north, and because of the invasion of Chang'an and the abduction of the young emperor, no one will be willing to take them in. If Cai Mao takes Li Jue and keeps Li Jue, he will be sent to Wancheng to guard the Jingzhou gateway. , who can Li Jue rely on?

Isn't it still his Cai family?Isn't it like having a dog?
"Who are you waiting for?" Although Cai Mao knew that it was Li Jue and others, he still wanted to ask.

"I was Li Jue, the general of the chariot and cavalry, and defended the emperor for several years. Now the traitor Pan Feng has smashed Chang'an, and the emperor has disappeared. I wanted to fight Pan Feng desperately to retake the emperor, but the thief's army is strong and unable to do so. And, I would like to set up a hawk and dog for Liu Jingzhou, so that he can defeat Pan Feng and regain the emperor one day."

What Li Jue said was sincere and sincere. If Cai Mao had not known what Li Jue was, he would have almost believed it.

"Oh?" Cai Mao said sarcastically.

"Then what are you waiting for to prove your identity?"

Li Jue knew as soon as he heard it that the guard above was actually asking for bribes, but now that the situation was stronger than others, Li Jue could only swallow his anger.

Li Jue raised his hand and took the box behind Li Feng, Li Feng reacted and hugged the box.

But in Li Jue's eyes, Li Feng still gave up, let go and let Li Jue take it.

Li Jue had already discovered this thing that Li Feng brought along the way, and then contacted Li Feng that he escaped from the palace. It is not difficult to guess that this box is the treasure in the palace.

Cai Mao stood on the city wall and watched this scene. In fact, the Cai family was originally a powerful official. How could they look down on people like Li Jue, the words just now were just a joke.

Furthermore, Li Jue came from Chang'an, so he might have something strange on him, so he said something casually, I didn't expect that Li Jue really had it.

Li Jue brought things here from Chang'an all the way, and he didn't know what treasures made him so obsessed with them?

At this time, Cai Mao became interested.

A soldier walked to the foot of Xinye Castle with a box, and put the box into a bamboo basket hanging from the city wall.

Seeing the box slowly being hung up on the city wall, Li Feng felt heartbroken.

Good guy, this box that has been on my back for more than ten days has not been opened before giving it away to someone else.

Watching the box being carried to Cai Mao by two or three Jingzhou soldiers.

After Cai Mao approached, he smelled a stench on the tip of his nose. Cai Mao hurriedly stood up and told the soldiers around him to open the box.

After opening the box, Cai Mao widened his eyes in horror and stared at the contents of the box.

"This! This is..."

Not only was Cai Mao shocked, but even the surrounding soldiers, who were a little experienced, took a look and quickly averted their eyes.

Some soldiers recognized the contents of the box and were so scared that their legs could not stand still.

The soldiers around the box hurriedly stepped aside, indicating that they had no idea what was in the box.

"What did you take from the palace? Why was the guard on the city wall so surprised?"

Li Jue watched as a large space was instantly vacated among the soldiers on the city wall, and in the middle was the box he sent.

What is it that makes these people so surprised?
"It's in a hurry, I don't know." Li Feng was also curious about what was in the box at this time.

With trembling hands, Cai Mao poked around in the box, hurriedly closed the box, and then ordered his soldiers to lock them with chains, called a dozen fast horses, and ordered them to be delivered to Liu Jingzhou quickly, and he must hand over the rest in person. No one can.

Cai Mao had lost his mind at this time and didn't know how to deal with it, but he still chose to stabilize Li Jue and others.

What bullshit is accepted as a dog, and Li Jue is accepted, he Cai Mao is a dog!
"This treasure is very precious and immeasurable. I have called a fast horse to deliver it to Liu Jingzhou. The reward will be here soon. Brother Li will rest outside the city first, and there will be news in four or five days."

After Cai Mao finished speaking, he regretted it. Li Jue dared to give this thing to himself, so why would he care about the reward? I'm afraid that thousands of troops have already been ambushed outside this city, waiting to attack the city?
What Cai Mao didn't expect was that Li Jue actually agreed.

Cai Mao hurriedly asked people to throw the food supplies from the city wall, and stabilized Li Jue first. Cai Mao was no longer good enough for this big thing.

Li Jue sent troops to the bottom of the city to get supplies, and set up camp twenty miles outside Xinye City.

After fighting and fleeing all the way, all the soldiers were exhausted for a long time. Now that they finally found a place to rest, they all lay down and slept soundly.

"What exactly is in the box that Brother Li handed over to the city wall?" Fan Chou picked up a leg of lamb and gnawed it.

"I don't know. This is a treasure that my nephew Li Feng brought out of Chang'an City, Li Feng! What exactly is in that box?" Li Jue took a chicken and ate it with a mouth full of oil.

"I don't know either, the journey is difficult and dangerous, and there is no time to open the box. I only know that the items in the box are quite heavy." Li Feng ate a piece of cake and sipped water happily.
