Jing Yi couldn’t believe that this was true. His cousin had searched for so long but couldn’t find any clues. Now, it was just under their feet!
“Why aren’t you two moving?”
As Su Cheng walked, he realized that they had disappeared. He leaned over and looked at the two dumbfounded people. He asked, “What?”
Su Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and pointed underground. “Dad, there’s gold!”
“Where? Let me take a look!”
Su Cheng lay down, and Su Xiaoxiao did the same.
The father and daughter lay down facing each other and looked in through the crack without blinking. “Dad, do you see that?”
“Daughter, I see it.”
Then, the two of them began to skillfully touch the dagger.
Jing Yi wondered, ‘Why do I feel that you’re going to start robbing?”
Su Xiaoxiao caught Wuhu and placed it aside.
As a reward for discovering the small treasure, Su Xiaoxiao gave it five servings of bird food in one go.
The aura of the Wuhu instantly became 2.8 meters.
Five servings. It couldn’t believe it! It had only eaten three after working all night!
Wuhu couldn’t bear to finish it immediately. Su Xiaoxiao made a super small basket for him with leaves. It could put the bird food in it and hang it in its mouth.
Su Cheng used the dagger to chisel the place.
“Daughter, there are stones below.”
The cellar containing the gold was made of stone and had a layer of soil on it.
This year, there was especially heavy rain, scattering a lot of the soil and making it very soft. The gaps between the stones were also exposed. But these narrow gaps alone could not pave the way to the cellar.
Su Xiaoxiao made a prompt decision. “Find the entrance!”
Bai Ze walked over with his horse. “Young Marquis, what are we going to do?”
Jing Yi said, “Find the entrance.”
Bai Ze was speechless.
Bai Ze looked at the eager father and daughter and the young marquis, who had been completely led astray. He closed his eyes helplessly. “Young Marquis, have you forgotten where we are?”
“Peach forest,” Jing Yi said.
Bai Ze corrected him, “It’s the peach forest of the White Lotus Society. To be precise, it’s the nest of the White Lotus Society that’s surrounded by the peach forest. Moreover, according to our elimination of the White Lotus Society these days, no nest is so dangerous. Do you understand, Young Marquis?”
Jing Yi nodded seriously. “I understand. Hurry up later.”
Bai Ze was speechless.
He held his forehead.
Had he been talking in vain?
Bai Ze revealed a rare smile. ‘Young Marquis, do you think we can take the gold away?
Jing Yi asked Su Xiaoxiao, “Can you take it away?
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Yes!”
Jing Yi looked at Bai Ze. “Yes.”
Su Xiaoxiao patted Jing Yi’s shoulder. “Everyone has a share. I’ll give you some!”
JingYi said, “I don’t want it.”
Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “That won’t do. If you don’t split the spoils with me, what if you sell me out in the future?”
Bai Ze was about to say that his young marquis wouldn’t when he heard Jing Yi obediently reply, “Oh.”
Su Xiaoxiao said loyally, “Don’t worry, I’ll take most of the risk!”
Bai Ze glanced at her speechlessly. She just meant to say that she would take the bulk.
The few of them surveyed the ground as they searched for the entrance.
Su Cheng scratched his head. “That’s strange. It’s clearly under my feet. Why can’t I find the entrance? Did the White Lotus Society turn into ghosts to enter?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Wuhu, where’s the entrance?”
Wuhu lay down.
Its previous owner always liked to come here with the bird cage, but it didn’t go down. How would it know how to get there?
“Who’s there?”
A sudden shout came from not far away.
Jing Yi decisively grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Su Xiaoxiao pressed his hand down and gave him a calm look.
There were a total of five people, all dressed in plain gray robes.
The leader was a stranger who had barged into the forest warily. When his gaze swept across the armor of the Great Zhou soldiers on Su Cheng, he understood their identities.
He smiled coldly. “How many people did the Imperial Court send to die tonight? They even sent a woman and a child?” The woman was Su Xiaoxiao, and the child was Jing Yi.
Jing Yi was unhappy.
Su Cheng carried the big knife to Su Xiaoxiao’s side and whispered, “Daughter, I’ll kill them later. If I can’t kill them, run first.”
Su Xiaoxiao whispered, “Dad, go with them. They definitely know the
entrance.
Su Cheng threw his saber away in a second. “Forget it. You have more people. I surrender! ”
The disciples were speechless.
The peach forest was not peaceful tonight. They were also worried that someone would barge in, so they came to patrol.
But… why were these people waiting to be arrested without fighting?
In order to search for the entrance just now, Su Xiaoxiao and the others had already put away their gas masks. Now, they looked no different from ordinary people.
A disciple looked at their shoes and said, “Boss, they came from the miasma forest. They must have been poisoned by the miasma and can’t use force.” The leader nodded.
Another disciple asked, “Then, should we capture these people or not?”
The leader looked at Su Xiaoxiao and the others warily and said, “Kill them!
Leave no one alive!”
Wuhu decisively fled. “Long live the Sect Master! Long live the Sect Master! Long live the Sect Master!”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “You little traitor!”
A disciple said, “Eh? Isn’t this the parrot raised by the Great Elder? Last time, he said that he died on the ship. So he didn’t die and flew back? No, wasn’t it white? Where’s the bird fur on his head?”
The leader looked at the extremely obedient parrot in his palm and said, “Leave the parrot behind. These people…” Su Xiaoxiao said, “Long live the Sect Master!”
Su Cheng said, “Long live the Sect Master!”
Jing Yi’s eyes trembled as he said in extreme shame, “Long live… Sect Master.”
Bai Ze muttered, “Kill me. I don’t want to live.”
The leader pointed at Bai Ze. “Why isn’t he saying anything?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Mute.”
Bai Ze was speechless.
The group was captured to a small bamboo garden, tied up, and locked in a woodshed.
“The two of you, guard the door and wait for the Great Elder to come and deal with it later!”
“Yes!”
The leader left with his two subordinates and the parrot.
Just as they left, Jing Yi broke free from the rope and walked out. Without a word, he kicked open the door and knocked the two of them out.
He caught the two of them and dragged them in. He pulled off their clothes and let Bai Ze and Su Cheng change into them.
Su Cheng and Bai Ze pretended to be from the White Lotus Society and guarded the door. Jing Yi and Su Xiaoxiao went to find the entrance to the cellar.
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t sure if the entrance was here, but reality proved that she had made the right bet again.
There was an abandoned dry well in the backyard. Jing Yi jumped down and touched a hollow well wall.
“There’s a passageway!”
He whispered, “Come down. I’ll catch you.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up as she jumped down the well with one hand.
Er…
She was stuck…
Someone came from outside the courtyard.
Listening to the footsteps… No, these footsteps were wrong!
There was the scrape of armor.
This was an entire rebel army of the White Lotus Society!
Su Xiaoxiao was stuck at the mouth of the well, unable to get down or out.
Someone came in.
At the critical moment, Jing Yi pulled her down the well!
