Chapter 610 Recovering the National Treasure He was silent for a moment, and suddenly he drew a light line on the ground with his finger. Li Ming felt a flash before his eyes, and the light and shadow in the treasury began to twist and change, revealing insignificant national teacher closed his eyes, slid his fingers quickly in the air, and chanted an unknown spell. An invisible force swept past, as if pursuing something. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said to Li Ming: "The truth is hidden in the trivialities." "Our thieves are most likely people from within the treasury." Beads of sweat rolled down Li Ming's forehead, and he was secretly shocked by his master's ability. However, Lin Che turned around and walked out of the treasury as if nothing had happened, and once again woke up the two guards with a flick of his sleeve. “Your Highness.” The Highness before the guards’ eyes was as majestic and steady as a mountain. The keys to the treasury were returned to the guard room for inspection every day, and no one was allowed to touch the treasures at night. "Really? That's clean." Lin Che smiled slightly, turned around and left, and Li Ming followed closely behind. At this moment, in a remote courtyard, Lin Che suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Ming with a stern expression. "Li Ming, this is an extraordinary matter, and I need you to do something." Lin Che took a deep breath, his expression solemn.

"Master, please give me your instructions." Li Ming looked solemn. "I want you to secretly enter the residences of those eunuchs and search everything about them. You must find any clues." Li Ming's face turned stern when he heard that. After a little preparation, he acted quickly, like a master of martial arts in the martial arts world. In the night of the capital, he became a shadow that left no trace. At the beginning of the prosperous Ming Dynasty, accompanied by the lively tribute ceremony, treasures from home and abroad gathered in the capital, making the treasures in the Forbidden City even richer. However, just as the much-anticipated tribute ceremony in the capital was about to end, a national treasure called the 'Millennium Ringing Jade' was suddenly and mysteriously stolen. The theft of national treasures has far-reaching consequences. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, his eyes showed a stern look. "Lin Che, this matter is of great importance. I want you to find out the truth immediately and make sure to recover the national treasure." "I obey!" Imperial Master Lin Che sat in the hall, looking serious and calm as he answered. His voice was like a stream flowing quietly over the stone wall, his movements were neither hurried nor slow, but every word was decisive. The news of the theft of the national treasure swept across the capital like a rainstorm. Lin Che knew very well that in order to retrieve the national treasure in such a fog, in addition to excellent insight and analytical skills, it also required strong executors - the Jinyiwei. Under the leadership of Lin Che, a team of elite Jinyiwei entered the scene where the national treasure was stolen - the treasury. But what awaits them is a complex design with numerous tricks. Obviously, this is not a trap that ordinary thieves can set. One after another, the ingenious bronze doors, some rotating, some rising, and the fine stone slabs, would make a sound at the slightest, or trigger a trap at the worst. Faced with these ingenious mechanisms, National Master Lin Che did not panic. He just stopped at every key point and waited and watched. “These mechanisms are quite ingenious.” Lin Che commented calmly. Wherever he went, he could always find the flaws in the mechanism and solve them one by one with his rich knowledge and profound wisdom.

A strong man in the Jinyiwei saw that the national teacher also knew this, and couldn't help but admire him: "The national teacher has great magical powers and unparalleled martial arts. He can even easily break some strange mechanisms." Lin Che smiled slightly, but did not stop, his eyes were fixed on the front. "Behind these mechanisms, the thieves are hiding their thoughts." "If we can see through their intentions, we will be able to understand their intentions." He pressed his palm lightly on a dragon head, and in an instant, the seemingly harmless stone wall suddenly shrank back, revealing a secret passage in front of the Jinyiwei. Under the guidance of Lin Che, the group followed the secret passage. They follow the thieves like a shadow, taking every step carefully, hoping to catch them when they get too carried away. Passing through a deep underground corridor, a faint light appeared at the end of the secret passage. Lin Che motioned for everyone to stop, and he opened his lips and looked forward. In an instant, in the faint light, several exquisite hidden crossbows were set up, and the crossbow arrows were already strung, ready to shoot at any intruder who trespassed. Lin Che's brows did not move. He pinched his fingers together and threw a token into the air. In an instant, the hidden crossbow collapsed silently. At this point, all the Jinyiwei were in awe and became more convinced of Lin Che's magic. Soon, they found the 'Millennium Jade' in a dark room, lying safely in a fine iron box. Just like all the troubles have nothing to do with it. After a night of action, Li Ming discovered an important clue. It turned out that the person was a relative of one of the guards and a famous businessman. It is no coincidence that the businessman recently happened to purchase a piece of jade that is said to have come from the soul of the guardian of the country. Imperial Master Lin Che took over this clue and his expression suddenly became serious. He knew what this meant. Then he took Li Ming with him and turned into two streams of light and rushed towards the jade shop. Surprisingly, they did not encounter any resistance in the jade shop. Among them, an elderly craftsman showed surprise and confusion on his face after seeing Lin Che, and muttered to himself. "Such exquisite jade material, isn't it a treasure in the world?" At this moment, Lin Che carefully observed his surroundings and suddenly noticed that among the jade materials in the corner, there were several stones with very different colors and temperaments. He took a step forward, touched them gently, and immediately noticed the clue. These pieces of jade emit a faint luster, which is obviously different from other ordinary jade materials. He closed his eyes and whispered a spell, and suddenly a faint golden halo appeared around the jade pieces, which was truly the aura of a national treasure protecting the national soul. At this time, the national teacher demonstrated his extraordinary magic. He scraped the jade with his fingers, and the jade seemed to come alive, gradually changing its shape, revealing the national treasure Zhihu Soul hidden within. The jade merchant was stunned when he saw this. He knelt on the ground. He never expected that the jade he accidentally bought was actually the national treasure of the Ming Dynasty. The evidence was overwhelming. Lin Che looked at him coldly, raised her hand to brush away the dust on the jade material merchant, and said softly, "Get up, the national treasure is safe and sound, and you are not guilty." Li Ming looked at his master with awe. He didn't know that Li Ming's affairs were also the result of Lin Che's silent manipulation behind the scenes. Hard work pays off. With Lin Che's brilliant planning, the national soul was safely returned to the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Yuanzhang received this good news, he not only ordered the royal craftsman to make a piece of unpolished jade for Lin Che as a token of the highest honor, but also specially announced this event at the celebration to highlight the contribution of the imperial teacher. Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright in the pavilion, his eyes wide open, and announced: "The court is safe and sound, thanks to the great support of the Imperial Master Lin Che." "Today's ceremony, I feel that the Imperial Master has made an invaluable contribution." All the officials in the audience knelt down and responded like a tide: "Long live, long live, long live!"
