Trust does not mean that everything must be told, it is not trust, but a kind of implication and shirk.

The whereabouts of Lian Linxi is Li Shun's biggest secret, far more important than his identity as Cang Xing.

Once this secret is revealed, it is hard to imagine what kind of uproar it will cause.

Even if Luo Lizhi won't take the initiative to leak secrets, there are many special methods in this world, such as Qingguo's [pulse identification], which can detect the secrets in your heart without your initiative.

More importantly, no matter whether the secret is leaked or not, it may destroy the relationship of trust that Luo Lizhi finally established with Li Shun. This is something Luo Lizhi, who values ​​kindness and loves Li Shun day by day, absolutely does not want to see it.

So even though she had concluded the Jinlan contract with Li Shun, she never inquired about this matter with Li Shun, and the two of them tacitly kept silent on matters related to Lian Linxi.

However now...

"sorry!"

Luo Lizhi apologized repeatedly.

Although it was an unintentional mistake, she knew that it was a done deal, and any further words would be useless.

Seeing Li Shun's serious and unreasonable expression, Luo Lizhi's heart felt like a knife was twisted, and it was a mess.

She has to do something to make up for it, and she must not just let the situation develop like this.

How to do?

The Deed of Jinlan can prove that he has no second thoughts, but this is not enough, it is far from enough to bear Li Shun's kindness and trust in her, and Lian Linxi's life that he desperately saved.

...

While breathing, Luo Lizhi made a decision.

She grabbed Li Shun's hand, pulled him into the car in three steps at a time, and started the car.

The engine of the floating vehicle roared, quickly pulling the two of them into the deep space where no one was there.

"991019."

She suddenly leaned close to Li Shun's ear, and reported a series of numbers to him in an extremely small voice.

Li Shun's body trembled violently, and an unbelievably sharp light shot out from his eyes.

He felt that his Tianling Gai was starting to go numb.

"These numbers..." he murmured, his hand hidden in the darkness was already clenched tightly at an angle that Luo Lizhi couldn't see.

"In the most secret vault of Chang'an Bank, the general outline of [Sky City Project] and the design blueprint of [Xuantian General Boundary], as well as countless core secrets of Chang'an, are permanently sealed."

"Both the bank and the treasury were built under the supervision of Kang Jinlong, the original garrison of Chang'an, so the key to the treasury was only passed on between the generals of Kang Jinlong."

Luo Lizhi pressed against Li Shun's ear and exhaled like blue, but his voice was as dense as a needle, without any pause:

"Since the 99th year of the Ming Dynasty, the great sage of the sun changed the key for the last time. Since then, only Dong Pingchuan, who later served as the chief general of Kang Jinlong, and I know the key."

"So, this is... the vault key?" Li Shun trembled.

"Yes."

Li Shun had no choice but to raise his hand to hold down his chest which was heaving and unstoppable due to excessive shock.

He understood Luo Lizhi's intentions.

She found out where Lian Linxi was by accident, and because she was afraid that she would lose her trust, she had to make a bad move and told him a secret that was also hidden deep in her heart as an exchange to make up for her mistake.

This is very Luo Litchi.

But what shocked Li Shun was not Luo Lizhi's actions, but the numbers themselves.

If this string of key numbers is regarded as a date, it can be interpreted as "October 99, 10, since the Ming calendar".

Today is Li Ying's birthday.

------

Chapter 170 Five I Have a Bold Idea

There is a secret treasury hidden deep in Chang'an, and the key is exactly the same as the birthday date of his younger sister Li Ying.

When Li Shun heard Luo Lizhi say this string of numbers, he was shocked beyond words.

He tried his best to control his emotions, but he still couldn't completely calm down.

The cute appearance of the little girl when she was a child, and the tightly clenched fist in the rear window of the car that she couldn't catch up to ten years ago, are constantly replaying in Li Shun's mind, and his father Shen Ding is also mixed in. With a gentle face and the appearance of lying on the sickbed holding his hand and whispering the funeral.

At the end of the memory, it was fixed in a pair of immature dark blue eyes mixed with pain, nostalgia and stubbornness.

Chang'an, Chang'an.

What kind of relationship does this city have with his father, his younger sister, and his family?

After the little girl was adopted and taken in, she moved to Chang'an. Is there a hidden secret behind this?

Why did the insect technology that belongs to his father appear in this distant city in the sky?

These doubts that have always existed in Li Shun's heart since he came to Chang'an were completely pushed to the top.

Fortunately, Li Shun has finally gone through storms these years, no matter how agitated his mood is, it will not be out of control.

He knows that past memories and deep secrets are indeed important, but he can't and doesn't have to rush for a while. What is more important at this moment is the people around him.

He knew Luo Lizhi's temperament and intentions long before he signed the Jinlan contract.

She is not fierce enough, tough enough, or resolute enough. She has never been a big woman who is symbolized by the identities of the heroines of the Luo family and Xingxiu generals. Softness and sensitivity have always been her background.

But she only has one kind of stamina, which is when she is fighting for what she really wants to pursue in her heart. At that time, she will be like the legendary bird, willing to give up everything for a thought in her heart, even if she turns herself into firewood It is not hesitating to burn out the salary.

Li Shun is not a twitchy person, he doesn't explain anything, he chooses to express his mind in a straightforward way.

He turned sideways, put his hands on Luo Lizhi's shoulders suddenly, and with a little force, lifted her upper body up, so that their eyes met directly.

The powerful gaze that cannot be concealed pierced directly into Luo Lizhi's heart through the human skin mask. The gaze was so intense and hot that two light rays of light appeared on Luanniao's cheeks.

"Luo Lizhi, since you have given me all your trust, then trust me a little more."

Luo Lizhi trembled, and she could feel the strong strength from the hands on her shoulders, just like the firm heart of the man in front of her.

"I will never distrust you because of these things." Li Shun said firmly, "So you just need to be yourself as always, and you don't need to prove anything to me, do you understand?"

Luo Lizhi felt a little dizzy, as if soaking in a hot spring, warm and comfortable, but erratic, unreal.

"...Okay, I, I know."

She tried to agree, but found that her voice was almost a soft whisper.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became a little ambiguous.

The heartbeat was so fast that it was caught off guard, and Luo Lizhi subconsciously twisted her body in a trance.

Li Shun was startled, and then realized something, he quickly let go of Luo Lizhi's shoulders, and the two sat back in their original positions.

It's just that the subtle ambiguous atmosphere is still lingering in the car.

After a long time, it was Li Shun who spoke first:

"Lichi, how did you guess that?"

It's time to get down to business, Luo Lizhi finally came back to her senses quickly, and gave a general account of her thoughts, only using rhetorical techniques to cover up her careful thoughts about Li Shun and An Su, and Li Shun quickly understood , which cannot be replicated.

On the basis of grasping the detailed information of Bai Yingdu, Luo Lizhi also knew An Su very well, and her mental power also captured Lian Linxi's figure that night, and finally added the words he just said as an introduction to make a guess of.

At this stage, the information about Lian Linxi's whereabouts is not in danger of being leaked on a large scale.

"Axi's whereabouts cannot be concealed after all. Even if no one knows, they will be constantly searched and tested by interested people. It is only a matter of time before they are discovered. However, her situation is still relatively complicated. I still need some time to find her. Come up with a one-shot solution."

Li Shun said seriously:

"So Lizhi, I hope you can hide it for me a little longer."

"I will." Luo Lizhi nodded without hesitation.

Whether it's for personal or family reasons, she will stand by Li Shun's side.

"Of course, there is no need to strictly guard against it. When the time comes when you have to reveal it, it's okay to reveal it. Just tell me and I will have my own way to deal with it."

Li Shun relieved Luo Lizhi's heart, turned to the topic of the treasury, and said:

"I still remember that when Dong Pingchuan offered to win me over, he said that you can't give me something, but he can. He thought I broke into Kang Jinlong to find something. What he meant was the key to the vault, right? ?”

Recalling Luo Lizhi's slightly pale reaction at that time, Li Shun basically affirmed this guess.

Sure enough, Luo Lizhi responded:

"Well, I heard hints in his words. He probably mistook you for a certain force who broke into Kang Jinlong to get close to me in order to get the key."

"It's a pity that he guessed wrong. This is the first time I've heard about the treasury."

Li Shun smiled and asked:

"Isn't this very confidential information in Chang'an?"

Luo Lizhi shook his head and said:

"It was before, but after Dong Pingchuan defected and fled, the rumors about the secret vault and Kang Jinlong spread like wildfire. Today, many people may have known about it. Do you remember that Su Shaojun knew about it?"

Li Shun remembered that when Luo Lizhi and Su Xingliu first met, they tested each other's hand. Luo Lizhi used the strategic weapon [Wu Xiang] of the Nandou Army, while Su Xingliu used this vault.

"Besides, the upper circles in Chang'an are actually not afraid of the spread of this matter, because both the official cabinet and the council know that the vault cannot be opened with the key alone. Weighed their hearts."

"Oh?"

Seeing Li Shun's curious expression, Luo Lizhi explained:

"[Sky City Project] is the general blueprint for the creation of Chang'an, and [Virtual Sky Boundary] is the unknown technology of Chang'an that floats above Shenzhou. , and has grasped the lifeline of the city, so today's council, official cabinet and even many external forces want to get a glimpse of its secrets."

"It's just that the secret treasury called [Sage's Legacy] needs to rely on the seal of Veteran General Kang Jinlong to enter, and after the Great Sun Sage abdicated, because there was no prestige enough to convince the public, the predecessor of the council In the end, Kang Jinlong's position as a veteran can only be left empty."

"Kang Jinlong's forces scattered and gradually evolved into today's 28 guards. The senior general Yinxin is always under the joint supervision of the official cabinet and the council. The two sides restrain each other, and no one can use it without permission. legacy."

Luo Lizhi paused, and continued:

"Later, Dong Pingchuan was born out of nowhere and won the Golden Dragon Palm, and the seal fell into his hands justifiably. Soon, the official cabinet and the council jointly organized the opening of the Legacy of the Sage. Into the warehouse."

"It was only after opening the vault door that everyone discovered that in order to open the Legacy of the Sage, in addition to typing out the string of keys hidden inside the seal according to the internal rules of the treasury, a 'key' is also needed to open the treasury. Both are indispensable.”

"Key?" Li Shun asked.

"Well, I heard from my elders before that I went to see it myself after I got the Kang Jinlong seal. After using the key, a very irregular polygonal groove will appear on the Kumen, and something needs to be inlaid to fill it. go in."

Luo Lizhi frowned and recalled:

"Of course the council and the official cabinet were not reconciled. They tried various methods, used a lot of manpower and material resources, and even produced a fine mold whose shape and precision were exactly the same as the groove, but they failed for some reason. Therefore, the plan to open the vault had to be It was shelved and has not been restarted until now.”

"I see." Li Shun said.

An unopenable treasury is a pity that the upper echelons of Chang'an have no taste for food and discard it. After Dong Pingchuan's rebellion, the key lost the need to protect it, so it is understandable that the seal and the key were transferred to Luo Lizhi .

Luo Lizhi took out the phone, flipped through it, handed it to Li Shun, and said:

"Look, I took a picture at the time, isn't the shape particularly strange?"

Li Shun's eyes fell on the screen of the mobile phone. On the dark door wall, a groove with a light-colored edge was clearly visible. It was a compliment to say that it was a polygon, and it was better to say that it was left behind by a pot of water casually poured on the ground. The watermark below is apt.

However, at this moment, Li Shun stopped breathing.

In the next second, he nodded with his usual expression, gently pushed back Luo Lizhi's phone, and said:

"Hey, it's almost eight o'clock, should we go?"

"Yes!"

Luo Lizhi glanced at the time, quickly sat upright, stopped talking, and drove towards the Vermilion Bird Starfield.

But Li Shun seemed calm, but his heart couldn't stop being overwhelmed.

From the very beginning when he heard the string of keys that was exactly the same as his little sister's birthday, he inexplicably had a bold idea.

The more he listened, the more he felt it was possible, and after seeing the irregular groove on the door of the vault with his own eyes, he could hardly control his thoughts.

You know, he happens to own a mysterious item, its material is special, strong enough to withstand the dragon's aura, but it can also change its shape freely like water.

That's right, it is the [Star Sapphire Amber] that can be switched freely between long knives, firearms, daggers, etc.

This is... a relic of my father.

Father, Sun Miao Li Yao, is probably the "Sage of the Sun" who never sees the end of the dragon!
