Chapter 648: Showing identity(1/2)
"Tuoba Yu, let's deal with this man in black robe completely. No hidden dangers are left, and then we will leave here quickly."
Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, with decisive eyes in his eyes. He walked to the corpse of the man in black robe and completely ended the last trace of life of the man in black robe.
Then, Tuoba Yu stood up, looked at Xi Yu, and said, "Okay, let's go."
Xi Yu nodded and walked away with Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu and Xi Yu slowly walked up the stairs in the basement, and the sky outside was already dark.
Ouyang Linlin was strolling anxiously in the yard. When she saw the figures of the two, a surprise smile suddenly appeared on her face, her eyes were filled with unconcealed joy, and she rushed over.
"You have calculated it, I'm really worried!" Ouyang Linlin said anxiously, her eyes sweeping back and forth between the two, her face full of concern.
Then, she looked at Xi Yu and asked curiously: "Husband, what's the secret below?" She blinked her big eyes, looking expectant.
Xi Yu rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly: "Hey, it's a long story, but the situation below is very complicated."
Ouyang Linlin nodded obediently. Although she was still full of curiosity, she knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so she followed the two of them quietly.
The three of them entered Xi Yu's room together.
Tuoba Yu and Xi Yu had just gained a foothold when they heard a soft knock at the door.
"Who?" Xi Yu asked vigilantly.
"It's me, Xiaohong." Xiaohong's gentle voice came from outside the door.
When Xi Yu heard this, his expression was slower and said, "Come in."
Xiaohong pushed open the door and walked in quickly, with a look of concern on her face. After seeing the two of them, a hint of peace of mind revealed in her eyes.
Xi Yu looked at Xiaohong, frowned slightly, and said, "Xiaohong, why are you here?"
Xiaohong said anxiously: "Madam, because you went to the basement, I'm very worried about you."
Xi Yu sighed, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Oh, the situation below is very complicated. We met a man in black and fought with him. In the end, we didn't find out where the lost things in the temple were." As he said that, a hint of helplessness and confusion appeared on his face.
Xi Yu took a deep breath and continued, "In the basement, we also found a place that was suspected to be a treasure, but we had not had time to explore it carefully."
Ouyang Linlin opened her mouth in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
"What? Treasure?"
Xiaohong also looked shocked and her eyes widened.
At this moment, footsteps came from the door, and Xi Yu immediately closed his mouth alertly.
After a while, Wuyou's voice rang outside the door.
"Are the two donors coming up?"
Xi Yu replied, "Yes, Wuyou." Then he turned around and signaled Xiaohong to open the door.
Xiaohong nodded, walked quickly to the door and opened the door.
Wuyou stood at the door and looked at everyone.
Wuyou walked into the door, her eyes full of curiosity, looked at Xi Yu and asked, "Donor, what's going on next?"
Xi Yu frowned and said with a serious look on his face: "Wuyou, I will explain this to the abbot in detail later. Don't worry now."
Seeing that Xi Yu said this, Wuyou didn't know how to ask any more questions. He nodded and said with a hint of reluctance: "Okay, the little monk will take his leave first." Then he turned around and left slowly.
After a while, a little monk walked in with the vegetarian rice. He gently placed the vegetarian rice on the table and respectfully said to Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu: "Two donors, this is the vegetarian rice prepared for you."
Xi Yu smiled and nodded in thanking him: "I'm thankful for your help."
The little monk smiled and stepped down.
Ouyang Linlin looked at the vegetarian food, Tuoba Yu touched her stomach, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm really hungry."
Ouyang Linlin stood up and said with a smile: "You eat slowly, I'll leave first." After that, she turned around and left the room with Xiaohong.
After Xi Yu finished his meal, he fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Tuoba Yu couldn't help asking: "Xi Yu, what do you plan to deal with the treasure? Should we stay here or take it away? If we want to take it away, is it really going to give it to the Xianbei people?"
Xi Yu raised his head, looked at Tuoba Yu, and asked back, "How much do you know about the treasure?"
Tuoba Yu frowned and shook his head, and said with a confused look on his face: "I really don't know much. I know very little about the treasure."
Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked at Tuoba Yu and said seriously: "Think about it more carefully."
Tuoba Yu fell into deep thought.
After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up and she suddenly said, "Ah, I seem to remember something. Once I heard my brother Tuoba Lu say that this was plundered by the Xianbei people from the Central Plains a hundred years ago."
After hearing this, Xi Yu nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said slowly: "I thought of this too." A hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
Tuoba Yu nodded as if he suddenly realized and said with a serious expression: "I understand what you mean, Xi Yu. If this treasure really comes from the Central Plains, it should not allow the Xianbei to obtain this wealth. We must send it back to the Central Plains."
Xi Yu nodded slightly, looked at Tuoba Yu with a firm look, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, this wealth does not belong to the Xianbei, and we cannot let it fall into the hands of the Xianbei people."
Tuoba Yu was silent and didn't say anything, but just lowered his head slightly, his expression a little complicated.
Xi Yu frowned and looked at Tuoba Yu, and asked seriously: "Tuoba Yu, are you looking at Xianbei people? You are a little unhappy when you hear my decision?"
Tuoba Yu raised his head, showed a wry smile on his face, and said softly: "One is right, after all, I am a Xianbei. I can't help feeling a little uncomfortable when I hear you say you want to send wealth that may belong to the Xianbei back to the Central Plains."
A trace of entanglement flashed in her eyes, but soon became firm again.
Then, Tuoba Yu took a deep breath, looked at Xi Yu and said, "However, I understand your decision and will support your decision."
Her face was full of sincerity and firmness.
Xi Yu gently knocked on the old monk's door, and after receiving the approval, he pushed the door and walked in.
When the old monk saw Xi Yu, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, his eyes were full of love, and he hurriedly said, "Donor, you are here, please sit down quickly."
Xi Yu walked to the opposite side of the old monk and sat down. The old monk couldn't wait to ask, "Donor, what's going on next?"
Xi Yu looked helpless and said slowly: "Master, let's not hide it from it. We have not found anything missing in the temple."
The old monk was slightly stunned, then sighed, but then Xi Yu said, "However, we found a treasure."
The old monk suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of shock, his mouth slightly opened, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and said incredibly: "What? Treasure? I really couldn't imagine it!"
His face was full of shock, his brows frowned slightly, as if he was trying to digest the amazing news.
Xi Yu took a deep breath and began to tell the details of the matter to the old monk in detail.
"Master, this is how we found a place suspected to be a treasure in the basement, and there seemed to be many unknown secrets in that place."
As the old monk listened, he unconsciously stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly and thought, waiting for the opera Yu to finish.
He slowly spoke, "In my opinion, there must be other passages in the basement, otherwise all this will be difficult to explain."
Xi Yu nodded in agreement and responded: "What the master said is extremely true, and I think it must be like this."
The old monk looked at Xi Yu, with a gentle smile on his face, and then said, "Donor, anyway, I believe that the stealing of things has nothing to do with you donors, so you can leave."
Xi Yu waved his hand quickly and said with a serious look on his face: "Master, this is not possible. We cannot just leave like this. We must first solve the problem of the treasure."
When the old monk heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Are you going to take the treasure away?"
Xi Yu looked at the old monk, raised his lips slightly, and asked with a hint of cunning, "Master, should this treasure belong to the temple after we leave?"
His eyebrows were raised gently, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
The old monk waved his hand quickly and said with a firm look: "It is absolutely impossible. I am a monk. I have already had all four elements empty and have no desire for this treasure. I will report to the government to deal with this matter." He had a solemn expression, his eyes were clear and firm.
Xi Yu looked at the old monk and said slowly: "Since that's the case, I should manage this matter even more."
The old monk asked in confusion, puzzledly: "Why is this? Why is the donor so determined to interfere in this matter?"
Xi Yu straightened his chest and said solemnly: "Master, I'm not to hide it from it. I am the Prime Minister."
When he said this, his face was full of majesty and solemnity, and an unquestionable aura was revealed in his eyes.
The old monk showed a look of suspicion on his face, shook his head and said, "Don't deceive me, don't fool me, how can I know what you said is true or false."
Xi Yu didn't say much, and took out the token from his arms and lit up in front of the old monk.
The old monk looked closely and saw that the signs and words on the token were clearly visible, and his eyes suddenly became wider, full of incredibleness.
After a while, the old monk came to his senses, quickly folded his hands together and said respectfully: "Amitabha, I have a clumsy look on my face. I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me."
Xi Yu smiled slightly, put away the token, and said, "Master doesn't have to do this, and those who don't know will not blame him."
The old monk nodded repeatedly, and no doubt about Xi Yu's identity in his heart.
"Amitabha, I don't know that the donor is actually the Prime Minister, so I have no respect."
Xi Yu raised his hand slightly and said, "Master, you don't have to be too polite. As the prime minister, I naturally have the responsibility to handle such major matters properly. I cannot allow this treasure to fall into the hands of others at will, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes and chaos."
The old monk nodded thoughtfully and said, "The Prime Minister is right, but this treasure is really difficult. I wonder what the Prime Minister has to plan?"
Xi Yu frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "This matter needs to be discussed for a long time. First, we must figure out the origin and ownership of this treasure, and then make a decision. In any case, I will deal with this matter with the principle of fairness and justice, and will not make it the source of chaos."
The old monk looked at Xi Yu, and his eyes gradually showed admiration, and nodded and said, "I am relieved if I have the Prime Minister as the decision."
Xi Yu said solemnly: "Next, I must understand the matter between the Xianbei and the Central Plains a hundred years ago. If we fully confirm that the things that happened back then were wrong with the Xianbei, then this treasure must belong to the Central Plains." His eyes were firm and majestic.
After hearing this, the old monk nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "What the Prime Minister said is very true, and it is indeed reasonable. I also think this should be done."
