Chapter 112 Nangong Family and Bai Family's Secret Treasure
Jiang Wanyi told the story slowly and leisurely.
“My father-in-law picked up a treasure box when he went to sea fifteen years ago. The box could not be opened. There was a scroll hanging on the chain. The scroll paper was very strange. It would not be damaged even after being submerged in water.
After returning, my father-in-law threw the treasure box and the scroll into the storehouse and never cared about them again. One year after my husband and I got married, he took me to the Bai family storehouse. I saw the scroll and he told me about it because he was afraid that I would misunderstand.
The painting on the scroll was of a graceful woman, very beautiful, I have never forgotten it. The painting was signed by Murong Xiubai. The woman's name was also mentioned, Nangong something... I forgot it. "
"Nangong Zhiwei."
The woman in white had a sad look in her eyes and replied calmly.
Jiang Wanyi nodded, "Yes, Nangong Zhiwei! I saw that your eyes are exactly the same as the girl in the painting, so I asked if your last name is Nangong. Are you Nangong Zhiwei?"
Xie Ling patted Jiang Wanyi on the shoulder and asked, "Is it the box I asked you about before?"
Jiang Wanyi nodded, "Yes."
Xie Ling was in deep thought.
The identity of this woman seems a bit complicated.
Gu Wei said that the brocade box must be one of the greatest treasures in the world, and it just happened to be picked up by the Bai family.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
Judging from the expression of this woman, she must be related to the Bai family's secret treasure and knows something.
So who is she and what is her relationship with the Bai family's secret treasure?
And how did that secret treasure, which is so important, fall from the sky?
Xie Ling's face remained calm, and he buried all these questions deep in his heart.
The woman in white was stunned. "That thing actually ended up in your house..."
Before he could finish his words, a scream suddenly came from outside the yard.
"Ouch! How come you guys caught me again?"
When everyone looked, it turned out to be the mistress of the Wu family.
She hurried over, looking anxious, "You're not scared, are you, little ladies?"
As he spoke, he walked over to the woman in white and said, "Xiaoyue, are you okay? They are guests staying at our house, they are all good people, don't be afraid."
The woman in white smiled when she saw the Wu family's mistress, "I'm fine, Aunt Wu."
Aunt Wu looked at Xie Ling and the others and said politely, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
It seemed that they were leaving, probably because they were afraid that Xie Ling and the others would disturb Xiaoyue's rest.
Since everyone said so, Xie Ling and the others also responded tactfully.
"Yes, it's time to go back and rest."
Before leaving, Xie Ling looked at Xiaoyue deeply.
Xiaoyue felt Xie Ling's gaze and her eyelashes trembled.
Xie Ling believed that Xiaoyue could understand what she meant.
This woman's face is covered with scars and her body is as broken as willow catkins. She must have suffered inhuman torture and her heart is full of hatred.
She only has one month left, and if she wants revenge, she can only rely on Xie Ling.
Xie Ling wanted to know the secret of the wooden box and the truth behind the Bai family's extermination.
Aunt Wu helped Xiaoyue into the room, her tone slightly reproachful but full of concern, "Why did you come out again? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? The doctor said you need to rest well."
Xiaoyue patted her hands, "It's okay, Auntie. I know my body. Go back and rest."
Aunt Wu helped her onto the bed, watched her lie down on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then turned and left.
Looking at the girl's frail body, Aunt Wu sighed.
If only his Dalang was still alive, Xiaoyue's condition wouldn't have worsened, and her mood wouldn't have become so depressed...
Hot tears flowed from Aunt Wu's eyes and she wiped them away fiercely.
Tomorrow still has to go on, but people are gone, so don't mind them.
---
After Xie Ling returned to the room, she told Gu Wei about this.
Gu Wei's eyes were full of hesitation.
"Nangong? This is one of the three great families in Dongling Country."
Xie Ling's eyes widened, "Three great families?"
Gu Wei looked thoughtful.
"No wonder even Leng Hu wanted to grab that box. Could it be the treasure of the Nangong family?"
Xie Ling thought about it and directly pulled Gu Wei into the space.
In the medical warehouse, 0188 said in an aggrieved tone, "Master, you haven't come to see me for a long time..."
Xie Ling lay on the soft chair and said directly: "Check the Nangong and Murong families in Dongling Kingdom."
After receiving the command, 0188 instantly entered the state, "Received, "Dongling National History" is being extracted, "Dongling Folk History" is being extracted———
The results are out, please extract them. "
Xie Ling looked at the display screen floating in the air and clicked "Confirm".
Although this was not the first time he had seen this scene, Gu Wei still stared with his eyes wide open.
"It would be great if this technology also existed in this era..."
Xie Ling ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.
"Don't even think about it. Another five thousand years is probably enough. Human civilization develops step by step, and no link can be missing."
But Xie Ling, who said this at this time, never expected that Gu Wei behind him would actually come up with some modern gadgets.
Xie Ling looked at the train tracks that spiraled for thousands of miles in Lingnan, which were disheveled in the wind and slapped in the face.
As he spoke, the information appeared in the air.
The two looked over.
The royal family of Dongling Kingdom is like a figment of the imagination, and the three major families are in control of the government.
The Nangong family, the Murong family, and the Gongsun family.
The three families stand in a three-way stalemate, do not interfere with each other, and regard each other as enemies.
Until one year, Murong Xiubai, the eldest son of the Murong family, asked to marry Nangong Zhiwei, the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, breaking this delicate balance.
This incident shocked the entire Dongling Kingdom at that time!
Of course the end result was that she didn't get married.
Later, Murong Xiubai could not withstand the pressure from his family and got engaged to a princess from Dongling Kingdom.
On the day of engagement, there was a ten-mile long wedding bridal ceremony.
Nangong Zhiwei went out to sea with his family and died in a turbulent shipwreck.
Murong Xiubai was heartbroken when he heard about this. He threatened to break off the engagement by committing suicide and finally never married.
In recent days, rumors have begun to circulate in Dongling that the shipwreck fifteen years ago not only killed the Nangong family's beautiful eldest daughter, but also caused the loss of the Nangong family's secret treasure.
Each of the three families has a secret treasure, which is the key to the family's revitalization.
The rumors were spreading like wildfire, but the Nangong family never responded.
The major forces in Dongling began to stir.
.......
That's all the information.
Xie Ling frowned, "The ages don't match. The woman in white is only sixteen or seventeen at most. It can't be Nangong Zhiwei."
"0188 should only be able to find out the superficial things. These are what those people want the world to see. As for the secrets deep inside, who knows."
Xie Ling found the wooden box and examined it in the palm of her hand.
“Could this be the treasure that the Nangong family lost?”
Xie Ling tried again, but still couldn't open it.
I don’t know what material this wooden box is made of, it’s completely seamless and there isn’t a single gap.
Gu Wei nodded, "Nine out of ten. It must be a top-notch mechanical device, so even the machine gun can't be opened."
Xie Ling sighed, "It would be great if Yu Yichou was here. He is very good at mechanical engineering and might be able to open this thing."
"Let it go for now. There will be a chance to meet Yu Yichou in the future."
Thinking of Yu Yichou, Gu Wei remembered that he had not yet asked about Yu Yichou's mother.
I don’t know whether Yu Yichou is related to his family, otherwise they wouldn’t look so similar.
Next time we meet, I must ask nicely.
After putting the wooden box back to its original place, the two men left the medicine store and came to the mountain.
