Chapter 372: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (6)
Yan Xue stopped in front of the antique display cabinet and looked at an inconspicuous groove at the bottom.
Carefully take out your jade pendant and gently place it into the groove.
There was only a slight "click" sound, and the ground slowly opened up, revealing a narrow staircase.
Yan Xue walked down the stairs without hesitation.
After entering the basement, she was shocked by the scene before her.
The entire basement was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, shining brightly and dazzlingly, and there were many precious treasures scattered in every corner.
Yan Xue remembered what the original owner's father had told her. It turned out that what he found back then was not just a small treasure, but a huge treasure trove of the previous dynasty.
Fearing that it would draw attention to himself, it took him ten years to empty the trove.
Yan Xue didn't expect there were so many. She suddenly felt that the responsibility on her shoulders was so heavy. Although the original owner's father was the leader of the martial arts world,
But he is open-minded and generous to those around him. I heard that the Ci'an Bureau alone has opened more than a dozen of them.
Every year, whenever there is a major disaster, they are the first to donate money and food.
Perhaps it was because of these things that some people were offended and that is why he suffered this misfortune.
It is better to put these gold and silver in her hands. It is better to use them for charity in the future rather than giving them away for free.
She waved her hand and put everything into the space.
Yan Xue waited for another three days, and her fourth senior brother finally came back. Looking at his happy expression, Yan Xue knew that the secret book should be in her hands.
"Fourth Brother, did you get the secret book?" Yan Xue asked excitedly.
Bai Yuheng nodded and patted his chest: "Yes, I got it! Thank you, Junior Sister. I have studied this set of secret manuals. It is indeed a rare treasure."
Yan Xue smiled and said, "It's okay. We are friends, and it's the right thing to do. Fourth Brother, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Bai Yuheng asked curiously.
"I plan to move to Jiangzhou." Yan Xue said seriously.
"Ah? Why go there? Aren't we fine here?" Bai Yuheng asked puzzledly.
Yan Xue frowned and replied, "I heard that the three evil men have fled to Jiangzhou. I want to go there to avenge my father."
Bai Yuheng quickly shook his head: "Junior sister, don't act rashly. Have you forgotten the lesson from last time?"
Yan Xue nodded: "I know, Senior Brother, but I have my own selfish reasons for moving to Jiangzhou.
Although this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is too quiet. I want to go to Jiangzhou to see the bustle of the city. I heard there are many delicious and fun things there. "
Bai Yuheng scratched his head and said, "How about we wait for the first, second and third brothers to come back, and then we can go together?"
Yan Xue frowned and said reluctantly: "Let's clean up after they come back. How long has it been?
Then, you can send a letter to them by carrier pigeon, asking them to come back and find us directly in Jiangzhou."
Bai Yuheng asked with some concern after hearing this: "But where are we going to live in Jiangzhou?"
Yan Xue patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, I have sent a pigeon to my third senior brother, he happens to be in Jiangzhou.
And I have also arranged for someone to meet up with Third Senior Brother. Let's see if there is any suitable house in the next two days?"
Bai Yuheng nodded and compromised, "That's fine, but we have a large family, so remember to buy a bigger house."
Yan Xue smiled charmingly, it's done, and replied confidently: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother!"
In order to ensure Baoya's identity, Yan Xue bought a group of slaves before leaving.
Among them, Bao Ya was very skilled in martial arts, so she was bought by Yan Xue and arranged to serve her closely.
At the same time, in the Zuiyue Tower in Jiangzhou,
Qin Yu was reporting the situation to Duanmu Ci.
"Master, I recently heard that the three most evil people in the martial arts world have come to our Jiangzhou territory. They have committed three crimes and killed three people.
The city's yamen runners have been patrolling the streets recently, and the people in the city are also panicking."
Duanmu Ci raised his eyes, looked at Qin Yu calmly, and said lightly: "Arrange 100 soldiers to patrol the streets. If you find anything, don't act rashly and report back immediately."
Qin Yu responded respectfully: "Yes."
Inside the Prince's Mansion, an anxious voice rang out: "Miss, we have searched the entire mansion three times, but still haven't found the military token.
I'm afraid it's true as the rumors said before, the military token has been lost."
The person who spoke was the maid beside An Songya.
An Songya frowned, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness. She sighed softly.
“I don’t know when Daddy will find a way to get me back.
My father insisted that I come here at the beginning, and said that as long as I could find the military token, I could make great contributions when I returned.
But now three months have passed, and I haven't even seen the prince once."
When she thought of the man who was rumored to be a playboy, An Songya couldn't help but feel disgusted.
She really didn't want to see such a person, but she had no choice but to obey her father's orders.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt a pain in her head.
She couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hands and moan softly.
Seeing this, the maid beside her hurried forward and asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
An Songya nodded painfully, and the maid quickly helped An Songya sit down.
"Miss, please sit down and rest for a while. I will call a doctor to come and check on you right away."
On the other side, Yan Xue had packed up all her belongings. She had put all the valuables into the space, and the rest were just superficial possessions.
She set off for Jiangzhou with more than thirty servants and forty guards from her family, and more than twenty horse-drawn carriages.
There were only a dozen old servants left in Xuri Villa to watch over the yard. Yan Xue was worried about the peach blossom forest, so she set up the mechanism again.
Pei Yong and An Huaitang, who were far away in Xichuan, received a letter from their fourth junior brother via carrier pigeon. They were so angry that they gnashed their teeth and wished they could fly to Jiangzhou immediately.
But at this moment, Jiangzhou City is not peaceful, as the three evil men have committed their fourth evil act.
This time, they actually ambushed the county magistrate's daughter who was going to burn incense.
The county magistrate's daughter was not only humiliated, but also died a miserable death, being thrown into the grass almost naked.
Finally, it was discovered by a nearby farmer and reported to the police.
Later, people found the bodies of two maids and four servants near the crime scene.
It turned out that the two maids and four servants had been following the county magistrate's daughter to the temple to burn incense, but they did not expect to be ambushed by three evil men on the way.
The county magistrate and his family have been searching secretly for their daughter since she disappeared, but they have not found any clues. They are extremely anxious and worried about their daughter's safety.
Unexpectedly, the final result was such a tragic one.
