Chapter 189 Risk of Exposure

After Yang Zhengshan searched the entire underground space, his heart was numb.

Two thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for about 20,000 taels of silver. The value of those jade jewelry should be about 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver. Together with 8,000 taels of silver ingots, the total value is about 60,000 to 70,000 taels.

But the most valuable thing in this underground space is not the gold and silver, but the goods here.

Especially the medicinal herbs.

Yang Zhengshan actually found ten precious medicines in it.

Eight of the precious medicines are hundred-year-old ginseng, which should be the specialty of the Hu people in the East China Sea.

There is also a nearly ten-foot-long golden thorn blood vine and a moon star.

Moon star is a kind of medicinal herb similar to baby's breath. The annual moon star can be used as a medicinal material, which has the effects of dispelling wind and relieving exterior symptoms, clearing heat and dampness, and relaxing muscles and activating collaterals.

Moon star withers once a year, but its roots will be revitalized in the second year.

The longer the year, the stronger the effect of moon star.

Thirty years of moon star will grow into a precious medicine, and the roots, stems, leaves and flowers can all be used as medicine, which has the effect of replenishing qi and blood, calming the mind and soothing the nerves.

There are moon stars planted in Yang Zhengshan's Lingquan space. Although he knows a lot about moon stars, he doesn't know the specific price of moon stars.

But he knows the price of golden thorn blood vine.

One inch of blood vine is worth one inch of gold.

A ten-foot-long blood vine is worth a thousand gold, no, it is hard to buy with a thousand gold.

The golden thorn blood vine grows one inch a year, and a ten-foot-long golden thorn blood vine is a hundred-year-old blood vine.

One inch of blood vine is one inch of gold is only the price of thirty-year-old golden thorn blood vine, and the price of a hundred-year-old blood vine is estimated to be several times higher.

The value of this golden thorn blood vine alone is estimated to be no less than 30,000 taels.

A hundred-year-old ginseng should be the cheapest precious medicine, but one plant also costs thousands of taels of silver.

These ten precious medicines alone are not much worse than those gold and silver, not to mention that there are so many goods here.

Looking at this pile of goods, Yang Zhengshan feels a headache.

It was not difficult for him to take away so many goods, but how to deal with them?

Fur, herbs, and cloth were fine, they could be kept and consumed slowly, but he didn't dare to use the armor.

Privately keeping armor was like treason.

As a military officer, it was reasonable to have three or five sets of armor at home, but there were three hundred sets here, and they were all iron armor.

This thing couldn't be sold even if it was taken out.

Yang Zhengshan hesitated for a while, and finally chose to give up the armor.

Because this thing was useless to him, it might bring him trouble. Even if it was not taken out, it would take up space in the Lingquan space.

As for other things, all that could be taken away were taken away. Yang Zhengshan spent half an hour to transfer the things to the Lingquan space.

Fortunately, the Lingquan space has expanded a little in recent times, and because of the marriage, Yang Zhengshan has not had time to plant herbs on the newly added land, so there is space to store these goods.

After transferring all the things to the Lingquan space, Yang Zhengshan walked around the underground space again. After making sure that nothing was left out, Yang Zhengshan walked to the deepest part of the underground space.

An underground passage that leads to nowhere!

There is also such a passage in the underground space at home, but that passage has collapsed, and Yang Zhengshan doesn't know where it leads to.

From the direction, the two passages are heading in the same direction.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it, extinguished the fire stick, and groped his way into the passage.

In such a dark environment, ears are better than eyes.

Yang Zhengshan walked forward carefully, and after walking for about two quarters of an hour, Yang Zhengshan suddenly stopped.

He seemed to hear some movement.

After stopping, the movement became more obvious, as if someone was talking.

At the end of the passage.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and Yang Zhengshan didn't hear it very clearly.

Who is it?

Yang Zhengshan hesitated for a moment, and groped forward again, this time his speed was slower and his movements were lighter.

However, he had just walked a dozen feet when another space appeared in front of him. However, this space was not big, probably only the size of a house.

The voices were getting clearer and clearer, and Yang Zhengshan could even hear that it was two men talking.

There was a faint light in the passage on the other side of the space.

Yang Zhengshan approached more carefully.

But just as he walked over, a clear gong sounded suddenly.

Ding!

In the quiet underground space, the gong sound was particularly loud.

"Who!"

Then a shout came, and Yang Zhengshan didn't have time to think about it. He immediately pulled back and fled quickly along the passage he came from.

A series of footsteps came from behind, and the speed was so fast that Yang Zhengshan was shocked.

Master!

Although he couldn't determine the opponent's strength, the opponent's speed was faster than him. Even if his strength was not stronger than his, it was not much weaker than his.

And under such a dark counterattack, the opponent dared to chase him, which showed that the opponent was very confident in his strength.

Feeling that the other party was getting closer and closer to him, Yang Zhengshan suddenly threw his hands behind him.

Whoosh~~

A few sounds of breaking through the air were heard, followed by a muffled groan.

"Get out of the way, don't let him run away!"

A fierce look flashed in Yang Zhengshan's eyes, and he threw his hands again.

More than a dozen copper coins fell out of his hands.

In the narrow passage, there was no way to avoid it, and several painful groans were heard again.

However, Yang Zhengshan had no time to check, as he had already arrived at the underground space under the rockery. Without any stop, Yang Zhengshan rushed directly to the exit.

Luckily, he had just searched here for a long time and was familiar with the environment here, otherwise, in the dark, he might have bumped into a pillar.

He was very careful when he came, so he naturally didn't care so much when he ran.

He directly smashed the rockery blocking the cave entrance above with one punch, and a loud bang broke the tranquility of the night.

The next moment, Yang Zhengshan flew out of the cave like a cannonball, leaping, and ran more than ten feet away in the blink of an eye.

And there were two figures following him behind him.

The moonlight was cold, and Yang Zhengshan saw the two people behind him clearly, one tall and one short, two figures, wearing gray linen clothes, and looked no different from ordinary people.

Yang Zhengshan didn't want to get entangled with them, but his mind turned, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Can't let these people go!

Because he took the things inside.

That was worth hundreds of thousands of taels, and the other party would never let him go.

If he is not exposed, then everything will be fine.

But he is at risk of being exposed.

This risk comes from Yu Qingyi, or more precisely, from his method of using copper coins.

When he saved Yu Qingyi, he used the Thousand Machine Hand to throw copper coins at Li He.

Obviously, these people are inseparable from Sha Pingchuan, Yi Shan, and Li He.

At that time, he didn't care about Li He's attack, because he was helping the Secret Guard to solve the case.

But now it's different. He took the things inside. If his identity is exposed, the other party will definitely pester him.

"Too careless!"

Yang Zhengshan secretly complained in his heart, feeling that wearing this nightgown was somewhat intentional.

Kung Fu moves are the characteristics of a warrior. It is very common to confirm the identity of a warrior through Kung Fu and moves.

But Yang Zhengshan ignored this problem. In fact, it can't be blamed on him. After all, he has never been in the martial arts world, and there are few opportunities to hide his head and show his tail.

With his mind turning, Yang Zhengshan turned around in an instant and rushed towards the people chasing him.

With his hands open, two pistols suddenly appeared in his hands.

The two people chasing him did not expect Yang Zhengshan to turn around, let alone a pistol in his hand.

Their first thought was how this person turned around.

The second thought was where his gun came from.

After two thoughts flashed through his mind, Yang Zhengshan had already arrived in front of them.

The tip of the gun shone in the snow-white moonlight and went straight to their throats.

The faces of the two changed slightly, one lowered his body to avoid, and the other raised the long knife in his hand to block.

But their reaction was obviously a beat slower, puff, the gun light crossed their throats, and the bright red blood splashed, flashing a charming luster in the cold moonlight.

"The strength is not very strong, it should be about the fourth or fifth level of the acquired realm, but they are very fast, they should be good at some special footwork!"

Yang Zhengshan judged the strength of the two in an instant.

Just now, when they were escaping in the passage, the opponent was faster than Yang Zhengshan, but speed does not mean strength. Yang Zhengshan is not good at footwork and body movements. Many martial artists are much better than him in this aspect.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the entrance of the fake cave again.

Yang Zhengshan threw the pistol in his hand without thinking.

Whoosh!

The sharp sound of breaking through the air pierced the quiet night, followed by two screams.

Plop.

The two figures fell at the entrance of the cave.

A gun pierced the chests of the two men. Only Yang Zhengshan had such a domineering power.

Yang Zhengshan stopped and listened to the movements around him calmly.

Footsteps, messy footsteps, but they did not come from the entrance of the cave, but from a distance. It should be the servants who heard the noise.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the bodies lying on the ground, and moved slightly, passing by the four bodies. In the blink of an eye, the bodies were collected by him in the Lingquan space.

He did not leave, but entered the underground space again.

This time he was no longer cautious, but ran all the way to the innermost passage.

Outside, four officers ran over in front of the rockery. They did not notice the blood on the ground, but they saw the rockery that was broken by Yang Zhengshan's punch.

"What's going on?" A young officer asked in confusion.

"Wait, don't go over!" An older officer hurriedly stopped other companions and said at the same time: "Beat the gong and call for help!"

Then a burst of rapid gong sounds sounded, completely breaking the silence of the night.

But this has nothing to do with Yang Zhengshan. At this time, Yang Zhengshan has walked along the passage to the deepest part, which is where the four warriors were just now.

There is nothing special here, just an underground space the size of a room, with a table and a few simple wooden beds.

I think they have been guarding here for a long time.

As for why they didn't transport the things away, it was because they had no way to transport them away.

During this period, the security of Anyuan City was very strict. Anyone entering or leaving the city gate had to go through strict inspections by the garrison soldiers. They had no way to transport the things out of the city quietly.
