Chapter 417 promise(1/2)
In order to hide the divine jade, Chen Xun used all his intelligence. Since the man had been burned to death, many details could only be guessed afterwards.
Chen Xun was in charge of his house documents for many years and often went to other rooms. He happened to see a document from Room A. The content was very simple and there was no secret. The craftsmen of the Jinyiwei sent a batch of armor as usual and asked the Lord of the Concubine to sign for it.
This is one of Liang Xiu's daily chores. He signed and stamped it casually, but he never expected that this batch of armor would be used.
There are many armor and equipment in the Jinyiwei, and they are often stored in the warehouse for several years, or even more than ten years. Chen Xun went to the armor factory and put the divine jade in a box in the name of inspection.
The divine jade entered the warehouse of the Jinyiwei Yamen with the box. If it weren't for an accident, it would probably take many years to be discovered accidentally.
The accident came from the Five Elements Cult. Many of the Jinyiwei craftsmen joined the school. I remembered that I had seen Chen Xun and remembered the long hairy mole on his chin. I was still puzzled at the time. Why did Nansi suddenly send an unfamiliar civil servant to check the armor?
The Five Elements Sect received news, but could not enter the Jinyiwei Yamen. Moreover, their jade search was soon noticed by the Dongchang, so they had to stop temporarily.
The news that Chen Xun had been to the armor factory spread to the palace. More than ten days before Hu Guiyang returned to Beijing, Huai'en asked for all the new armors from the Jinyiwei warehouse through the Imperial Horse Supervisor, searched them personally, and finally found the Shenyu.
The process is neither thrilling nor complicated, but it is strictly kept confidential. Even the East Factory did not know that it was. Shang Ming was still urging his men to look for jade everywhere.
"Mr. Huai confirmed that it was really a divine jade? That thing is no different from an ordinary jade pendant."
"The whole body is pure white, and it's slightly cooler to buy. Is that true?"
"It sounds quite like this, congratulations to Mr. Huai." Hu Guiyang smiled. Seeing that Mr. Huai'en was reluctant to speak again, he said again: "Mr. Huai came to me to absorb divine power? I really don't have this, and I don't know anything about He Sanchen's whereabouts."
Wyen shook his head and continued to remain silent.
Hu Guiyang had no choice but to wait and drink tea in one mouthful.
After a long time, Huai'en took out an iron box from his arms and placed it on the table, "I want Captain Hu to come, because I want you to take charge of the Divine Jade."
Hu Guiyang was not particularly surprised when Shenyu was found. However, he was completely surprised by Huai'en's request and could not even drink the tea delivered to his mouth.
"You open it and check it out." Huai'en said.
Hu Guiyang put down the teacup, picked up the iron box and opened it gently. The box was parquet and a thick layer of velvet cloth. There was a jade pendant in the middle. He didn't need to reach out and touch it, so he knew that it must be a divine jade.
Hu Guiyang closed the iron box, pushed it back in front of Huai'en, and smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want it, I really don't dare."
"Don't dare?"
"There are too many people who want the Divine Jade, and whoever takes it in his hands will be the target of public criticism."
"Some people know that the divine jade has been found, and they won't know that it will be back in your hands."
Hu Guiyang still shook his head, "What I am afraid of is that 'few people know', why is the person who found Shenyu Huai Gong? Why did I let me take charge? To be honest, I feel like I'm going to fall into a trap."
Huaien smiled and said, "So what you are worried about is this. The divine jade fell into my hand because I have an acquaintance in the Five Elements Sect."
"Dade?" Seeing that Huai'en accidentally said his name, Hu Guiyang guessed one.
"It's easy to guess?"
"Dade's name is similar to that of Huaigong, and his appearance is a little similar. Which one is the real surname?"
"My original surname is Dai, and I entered the palace since I was a child, and my name was Huai'en."
"I see."
Huaien explained how he got the divine jade, pointed to the iron box and continued: "This thing is very strange. I have never been to Yunyang Mansion, nor have I come into contact with the golden elixir, nor have I learned strange martial arts. But it still has an impact on me. I only wore it for one night, and I feel like I am ten years younger."
"Chen Xun didn't go to Yunyang Mansion, and after contacting the Divine Jade, he even became a martial arts master."
"This thing is ominous."
"Don't Mr. Huai wants to be young?" Hu Guiyang asked with a smile, thinking that the eunuch was very special.
Wyen stared at the iron box on the table, "Everyone wants to be young, so I'm afraid."
The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud at the same time.
"It's really unfortunate that the divine jade fell into the hands of two people who were afraid of it." Hu Guiyang took the iron box back, opened it again, and then closed it.
"What's rare is that Captain Hu is not tempted by the divine jade. He has never touched it for nearly three years. I can't compare to this. In just over ten days, I'm a little reluctant. If Captain Hu doesn't come back, I really don't know what to deal with it."
"Did Mr. Huai have never thought of offering it?"
Huai'en's expression changed slightly, "I said that this thing is ominous and must not be left in the palace."
Hu Guiyang saw the emperor's search for the elixir and divine power with his own eyes, and of course he understood how much tempting the divine jade had for the emperor. This was also the reason why Shang Ming, Li Zisheng and others tried their best to find and offer jade.
"If possible, it's better to destroy it." Wynn let out a long sigh.
"Jiang Yun once said that you can use the earth fire to destroy the divine jade. Some people don't think so, but you can give it a try."
"Jiang Yun was introduced to Your Majesty by me and Shang Shaobao. I didn't expect that... you can only try to destroy the jade."
Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "This is indeed a trouble. Many people are staring at me. Shenyu may not be able to be preserved for long. As for going out of Beijing to find the earth fire, there is no chance. Mr. Huai, thank you for your trust, but I can't pick up jade, so you should look for someone else."
"If you don't take the divine jade, I can only offer it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is obsessed with immortal arts. If you get the divine jade, you will probably concentrate on practicing from now on and will never interfere in the world. The so-called good and bad fortune can make people young, and it is likely that there will be other bad effects, just like the strange man at the time, those with divine power will have illnesses. If Your Majesty has any trouble in the court, it will even cause trouble to the people of the world. If such a thing happens, you and I will be responsible for it."
"Hmm? Why am I responsible too?"
"Because you once had the opportunity to destroy the Divine Jade, but you refused to do it."
Hu Guiyang scratched his head again, "I am just a lieutenant. What you said is 'in case', maybe it will only benefit and not harm His Majesty."
Huaien shook his head, "'If' is just a saying, you and I know it well, the divine jade cannot be only beneficial."
Hu Guiyang thought about it, "If I go to destroy jade, what can you help?"
"You hide the divine jade first, choose the location, and don't even tell me."
"I've lost it once." Hu Guiyang smiled.
"Then hide it more secretly. When the limelight passes a little, I will find a way to send you to Shanxi. Jiang Yun once gave me a map with several locations of earth fire on it. You can go there to destroy the jade."
"It sounds quite easy. What if I get caught right away? Can you save me?"
Huai'en was silent for a while, "You have to save yourself, I can't interfere, and you can't give me."
"You don't recognize it if you give it up."
Wyen nodded.
Hu Guiyang smiled bitterly and said, "This is not a beauty. Do you have to let me take a risk in order to save the 'people in the world'?"
"It is a bit exaggerated to say that 'save the people of the world', but it will definitely save many lives. Your Majesty..." Huaien is an extremely cautious and loyal eunuch. Not to mention disobedient words, even if you think about it, you feel that it is extremely guilty. But now you have to say, "Your Majesty obviously cannot withstand the temptation of the divine jade. In order to take out the divine power, he will do whatever it takes."
"No one has found the method to obtain divine power, and He Sanchen is just a rumor."
"There are always some rumors that are true. According to all the rumors at present, if you want to take out divine power, you must use the power of a large number of mortals to ascend to the heavenly ship."
Hu Guiyang scratched his head for the third time, "If I had known this, I would not have returned to the capital."
"I know that Captain Hu doesn't believe this, but there is God's will in the dark."
"Haha, the idea of you powerful people is 'will of heaven'. With a command from the palace, the common people's homes were upside down. Mr. Huai came up with an idea, but I was the one who risked his life. Some people had suspected that the Shenyu was hidden by me, and this time it was confirmed."
"There is no way to do this. Captain Hu is not the kind of greedy person, so I don't promise anything. I just hope you can have great compassion and great kindness, and save one more person if you are..."
"You'd better give me some practical promises, at least it makes me look less stupid."
"Haha, do you want to be an official?"
"Forget it, being an official is too tiring."
"You want to get rich?"
"I think, but some people have already said they want to give me money, and I can't spend too much."
"What do you want?"
Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "You have the highest status in the palace eunuch?"
"So that's it."
"Your Majesty trusts you very much?"
"Your Majesty values my selflessness, so you must not let Your Majesty know what I do now."
"Haha. I heard that you had given a strong advice in front of His Majesty and saved many people."
"Some, and it depends on luck. Your Majesty thinks this person can be forgiven. My advice will be useful."
"This is what I want."
Huaien was stunned, "Who do you want to save?"
"I don't know yet, maybe it's me or someone else."
Huai'en pondered for a moment, "If you were caught because of the divine jade, I can't save you."
"The divine jade doesn't count."
"Okay, no matter when, as long as Captain Hu makes a request, no matter who the person is, I will try my best to save him. If there is any refusal or not, I will teach me to be a castrator for generations and a slave for generations."
This is a poisonous oath.
Hu Guiyang picked up the iron box and stood up and said, "What I believe in is not an oath, but a man named Huai Gong."
Huaien also stood up, "Similarly, I also believe in the character of Hu Jiawei. If the divine jade can be destroyed, it will be destroyed. If it can be hidden, I have no complaints. I can only say that God will is so, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Hu Guiyang put the iron box in his arms, "Let's not talk about anything else, let's see if I can return home safely."
"Let's go slowly, don't send me." Huai'en's status is too high, and it is impossible for him to send a Jinyi Captain in person.
