The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

The tile-roofed houses of ordinary people's houses in the border city are all very similar. There are several rooms in a small courtyard, and the whole picture can be seen at a glance.

It was already late at night, and the lights in the surrounding neighborhoods had been turned off. Only the occasional cooing of the chickens in the chicken coop could be heard.

Gu Shiwei jumped over the wall and entered the small courtyard.

Her ears twitched, and she turned around suddenly and reached out to grab the shadow beside the door. There was a person lurking in the corner, a person with no martial arts skills.The sound of his breathing and heartbeat sounded like thunder in Gu Shiwei's ears and could not be ignored at all.

When the hand touched the person's arm, Gu Shenwei was slightly startled and relaxed.

What's lurking here is a child.

Gu Shinwei jumped back a step, and the child in the shadow walked out with a pale face and covering his shoulders. There were big beads of sweat on his forehead, flowing down his cheeks, and his mouth trembled slightly, as if Holding back the pain.

"Liu Yang?"

Gu Shinwei was a little surprised. Liu Yang was the boy who greeted guests in front of the restaurant. Like the eunuch in charge of the palace, he made a booklet of the schedules of all the imperial officials, and then turned over the signs...

Just yesterday, she arranged to go ten miles to find Liu Yang so that he could study for the imperial examination.

Gu Shinwei's eyes moved and he figured out the connection, "It was you who arranged for Chen Shenji to find Wang Xi and Wang Yushi, and told him that he could send the letter to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop in Mingjing Lane to find Wang Quan."

Liu Yang rubbed his shoulders, not daring to cry out in pain. He nodded obediently with a pale face, looking at Gu Shiwei with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Although this description is a bit offensive, Liu Yang really felt that Gu Shiwei's hands were like eagle claws!
This adult looks as weak as a willow, but is actually incredibly powerful.

"Yes, sir. In addition to arranging for them to deliver news to the censor, I will also do another job, which is to collect the corpses after the aftermath."

Liu Yang said, pursing his lips with a sad expression.

"If you go to Beijing to complain, you will almost die. If the people complain to the officials, they will be punished first. Even if a high-ranking official is willing to take care of the case, it is common for the complainant to be killed and retaliated. Some guests will have special requests..."

"If they die unfortunately, I hope we can help collect their bodies. Some people want to return to their hometown, while others ask for an unmarked monument to be erected on the mass grave and buried on the spot."

Gu Shiwei listened and didn't know what to make of his expression.

At such a young age, Liu Yang actually made money from both living and dead people, and he did so with great justice!No one can fault him!
"Chen Shenji made an agreement with me. If he is arrested or dies, he will ask me to come to Wazi Lane to pick up his things. I will wait here for a while. If he arranges for someone else to pick it up, I will give it to that person. . If no one comes overnight, send it directly to Izumo Sword Manor... and hand it over to the Zuo clan."

Gu Shiwei's mother was born in Chuyunjian Village.

This Izuyun Sword Manor is a place where martial arts sects specialize in refining magical weapons. The long sword on Gu Shiwei's waist was specially made by her grandfather for her father Gu Younian.After her father passed away, it became her portable sword.

Like Qianji Chen, Izumo Kenshuang was once deeply involved in a weapon-severing case.

"I didn't expect that the person Chen Shenji invited to pick up the relics would be you, Mr. Gu. It just so happens that you are also from Izumo Swordsman... I didn't break my promise, I completed the contract."

Liu Yang said, taking out a somewhat old copper key from his arms.

He cupped his hands towards Gu Shinwei and trotted to the main room facing the door.

The door of the main room was locked tightly with a copper lock on it. When the door was opened, a musty smell mixed with dust hit the face.

Gu Shiwei took a step forward and looked into the main room. No one had been here for a long time. The main room was empty. There was only a memorial tablet for Qianji Chen on the altar. There were spiders everywhere on the beams. The net looks slimy.

Liu Yang had no intention of stepping in. He squatted down and touched the inside of the threshold. After a while, Gu Shiwei heard a crisp click.

Following the sound, she suddenly turned her head and looked to the left.

On the far left, where the sound of the machine was coming from, was a small side house built later, which looked like a hut.

"Sir, come with me, Chen Shenji has already told me!" Liu Yang said, running quickly and rushed into the latrine.

Gu Shinwei's eyes twitched as she looked at him. Would Chen Shenji want her to go fishing in the manure pit?
How could anyone in this world hide their belongings in a manure pit!Gu Shiwei was speechless for Chen Shenji.

She thought and followed quickly. Fortunately, the scene she imagined did not appear.

No one lives in this house, and the tank in the toilet is clean except for a little bit of plant ash.

Because of the mechanism technique, the bottom of the dung tank opened automatically, and a column protruded from it. There was a black wooden box on the top of the column.However, the wooden box was blocked by two wooden boards on the tank, and the box could not be taken out.

"Get out of the way, I'll come."

Gu Shinwei said and pushed Liu Yang away.

The boards used to press the manure tank and squat on the feet are usually very strong and heavy, and are not easy for children like Liu Yang to move.

As an adult, she was too embarrassed to let her children do hard work.

She thought about it, reached out and gently removed the two pedals, put them aside, then reached out again, and easily removed the wooden box.The weight of the wood is not that heavy. It should not be made of gold or silver.

Gu Shiwei thought and looked towards the wooden box.

There are no locks on all sides of this thing, and no gaps can be found. It looks like a natural whole.

How to unlock this?Do you want her to be beaten to pieces?
She thought, and her eyes fell on the densely packed square characters on the top of the box. Although these characters were arranged very neatly, they read nonsense and disorganized. The secret to unlocking the lock should be here.

You have to press the correct words in the correct order.

Gu Shiwei thought, his eyes falling on Liu Yang beside him.

Liu Yang saw this and quickly shook his head, "Sir, Chen Shenji didn't tell me. I am only responsible for sending it to Izumo Sword Manor. You must not try it casually, although Qianji Chen mainly makes crossbows. "

"But Chen Shenji likes to push the buttons everywhere, and he also smears poison..."

Liu Yang said, his little face wrinkled up, obviously thinking of some painful past that he didn't want to recall.

Gu Shiwei frowned. Chen Shenji clearly had 1 opportunities to tell her where the things were and how to open the box. Why did he make things so complicated?Or does he think that she and the people of Izumo Sword Village can immediately think of the secret order when they see this thing?
What could it be?

"Sir, could it be Chen Shenji's name, or the Qianji Chen family, or the Izumo swordsmanship?"

Gu Shiwei listened to Liu Yang's words and glanced at the words on the box. All the words he said were on the top of the box.

She looked at it, her eyes moved, and she said to Liu Yang, "Stand far away and I'll give it a try. If something comes out, I can dodge it, but you can't."

Liu Yang did not argue, but walked outside the toilet in a sensible manner.

Gu Shinwei looked at the words and pressed the words "Gu Younian" in order.

There was only a crisp sound, and a gap opened in the wooden box. Gu Shiwei tried to reach out and lift it open, and the lid of the wooden box was removed along the gap.

In that alley, there was a thick book with the four characters "Key Techniques of Organs" written on it. In addition, there was an exquisite black crossbow machine.There are also wooden boxes one by one.

Gu Shiwei opened one casually, and there were various shrunken machines inside.

This is the craftsman heritage of the Qianji Chen family.
