Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 340 Bizarre Disappearance
The stolen warehouse was on the second floor.

The treasure house was in the middle of the second floor. When entering, Chu Tang turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of a figure flashing in the shadow of the pillar on the left. He must have been the secret guard guarding the treasure house that Feng Huang mentioned.

After entering the house, Chu Tang was completely stunned after just one glance.

He had to admit, it was an eye-opener for him!
Everything you look at is colorful and luxurious.

This should be a warehouse for collecting jade items. Everything on display is filled with jade items.

It’s just that these jades are much more special than what you see outside.

It should be said that here, you can see all kinds of strange jade objects.

Green, purple and black, bright yellow, crimson, jade of various colors shines brightly, emitting different lights and reflecting each other in the room.

The light emitted by the luminous pearls inlaid on the wall, reflected by the jade, makes the whole room shine with colorful light, and the jade is competing for beauty.

Look, there are jade pendants, jade carvings, jade plates, jade bracelets, jade bowls... all in strange shapes.

Chu Tang even saw several coral-shaped jade sculptures half a person's height in a corner, purple and red, emitting turbulent light like fire.

Chu Tang boasted that he had learned a lot, but looking at hundreds of precious jades in this room that was several feet wide, he still felt that he was ignorant and knowledgeable.

The money you can exchange for just one piece of jade here is enough for an ordinary person's family to use for a hundred years.

At this moment, Chu Tang's eyes were dazzled, his mind was fascinated, and his mouth was dry. After a long time, he swallowed hard and murmured: "Such a treasure is a big deal for the person who guards the treasury and can only look at it but not touch it." The torture..."

"What did you say?" Feng Huang didn't hear Tang's words clearly for a moment and asked following the sound.

"Nothing." Chu Tang shook his head, came to his senses, and started to get to the point, "What's missing here?"

"A handle of jade as you wish." Fenghuang replied.

"Jade Ruyi?" Chu Tang's eyes turned to a shelf on the left, on which four or five jade Ruyi, one or two feet long, were lying.

In the middle of them, there is an empty space, showing that something is missing.

Chu Tang walked over and took a look, and asked doubtfully: "The thief who stole the treasure is so stupid. He didn't know how to manipulate the jade Ruyi after taking it away, leaving such an obvious gap?"

Fenghuang said angrily: "This is how the Princess Mansion sorted it out afterwards."

"Then how do you know it was stolen?" Chu Tang asked the question he had always wondered.

Fenghuang said: "Because that jade Ruyi is very special."

"Chun, can you listen?"

Fenghuang thought for a while and said: "The color of that jade Ruyi is different from the green and white in front of me. It is completely black and is made of a very rare jade material. Unlike ordinary jade, which is fragile, black jade is very hard, let alone If it’s broken, even an ax can’t break it. Anyway, it’s very conspicuous!”

Chu Tang asked: "Then if the jade Ruyi made of this kind of material is not used as a decoration, it should have other uses, right?"

Fenghuang stopped talking and said, "Then there's no need for you to worry about it."

Chu Tang smiled and said: "The thief is obviously here for it. If you don't know its purpose, how can you guess who wants to steal it and what they plan to use it for?"

Feng Huang did not answer directly, but said: "Anyway, four days ago, the housekeeper in the mansion led a routine inspection of the treasure house and found that Yu Ruyi was missing. He reported it to the Thirteenth Princess. The princess was furious and immediately launched an investigation."

Chu Tang frowned: "Four days?"

Fenghuang nodded: "It has been four days now."

Chu Tang asked: "What was found?"

Fenghuang looked grim and said faintly: "Nothing was found! The princess even asked someone from the chief arrest room of the Criminal Department to check, but they couldn't find any clues. It was as if Yu Ruyi disappeared out of thin air.

"And I was ordered to question the guards, but there has been no progress in the past three days, and I can't find anyone suspicious. Now that the princess is getting more and more anxious, I really have no choice. I will find you and treat you like a dead horse. .”

Chu Tang let out an ooh and said, "Have you considered guarding yourself?"

"What do you think?" Fenghuang sneered.

Chu Tang shrugged and walked around the room and found that only the door could be accessed, and the rest were all walls.

He walked to the innermost corner and pushed the wall. After finding that it was motionless, he knocked on the wall again. The sound was dull and seemed to be very strong.Upon seeing this, Fenghuang said: "This treasury is built directly with granite on all sides. The walls are half a foot thick. Let alone opening it, even if you use magic weapons to dig it, it will take a lot of effort to get out." There’s a lot of movement. Suffice to say, no one can make a fuss on the wall without being noticed!”

Chu Tang asked again: "Have you carefully searched the ground floor and underground?"

"There is no secret path!" Feng Huang became impatient, "Chu Tang, whether it is the chief arrest officer of the Criminal Department or the scouts of our Phoenix Army, they all have the best talents in the world. They will follow all conventional theft methods that can be thought of. I checked it out, but found nothing."

Chu Tang smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Third still thinks that the thief came in silently from the outside, either through the opening on the top of the treasure house, or from the door? Miss Third really thinks that someone can sneak into such a heavily guarded place like a shadow?" ? If there really is such a person, then what he performs is not called Qing Gong, but an immortal skill! For example, the method of invisibility..."

Fenghuang shouted: "I'm not kidding you!"

Chu Tang spread his hands and said, "Chu is not joking either!"

Fenghuang became irritated and said, "I don't have much time left to wait!"

"Why, the princess also limited the time to solve the case?" Chu Tang was confused.

Fenghuang said: "It's not that the princess doesn't give time, but that this matter is of great importance. If it is delayed any longer, it will be very detrimental to the princess."

Chu Tang heard the subtext and began to retreat.

Sure enough, matters involving the royal family are never trivial.

That jade Ruyi is probably not simple, it is related to an extremely important person or thing.

The danger involved is beyond imagination.

"Third Miss, you have posed a big problem for Chu!" Chu Tang smiled bitterly, "Is it still too late for Chu to withdraw now?"

Fenghuang glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"

"It's too late." Chu Tang sighed, "In full view of everyone, Chu followed the third lady into this treasure house. If he wants to ignore it and escape, I'm afraid others won't believe it."

Fenghuang smiled slyly, as if her plan was successful: "As long as you understand! Just work hard for me!"

Chu Tang said helplessly: "Chu still hopes that the third lady can tell the purpose of that jade Ruyi."

Fenghuang flatly refused: "Unless the Thirteenth Princess personally orders it, I will not say anything."

Chu Tang frowned: "Then when will Chu be able to see the princess in person?"

"When you show your worth!"

Chu Tang sighed: "To put it bluntly, we still have to work first!"

"Of course!"

"Then... what do you want Chu to do?" Chu Tang said, "Looking at Miss Third, she already has a plan in mind. Miss Third, just give the order directly."

Feng Huang smiled, looked at Chu Tang, and said slowly: "I want you to be a thief for once."

"Huh? Thief?"

"Yes! This girl needs your Qing Gong to be effective. Today during the day you will explore the treasury and find out all the paths, and then sneak in from the outside tonight to steal the treasure." Feng Huang said firmly. .

Chu Tang complained endlessly: "Third Miss, you want Chu to play a thief and find a way to sneak into the treasure house? Third Miss, do you think too highly of Chu? Chu just said that no matter how high the Qing Gong is, you can't do it. !”

Fenghuang's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you fail, it's also a kind of verification."

"This..." Chu Tang understood clearly and nodded slowly, "Okay! Chu will do his best."

Fenghuang said quietly: "I hope you can successfully sneak into this place."

Chu Tang smiled bitterly: "I hope it can be helpful to Miss Third."

Feng Huang hummed, said no more, and took Chu Tang around the treasure house a few times again, trying to make him familiar with all the defense forces.

Until night comes.
