"Could it be that something big happened in Jinniuzhai in these years?" Ji Cangyu asked.
Teng Fei thought for a while and said: "Jinniu Village has indeed undergone great changes in these years. About two years ago, they got a large amount of treasure from nowhere, and then began to build a large-scale construction project to rebuild the village. Jinniu Village is there. Suddenly they became so powerful that they even competed with us for business and took away several villages from our hands."
"Was there a lot of construction work two years ago?" Ji Cangyu looked at Qi Yang and felt that the forbidden area only existed at that time.
"Could it be that they dug some treasure in the mountains?" Teng Fei slapped his thigh and said, "And that so-called forbidden area is where the treasure is! Let's go and have a look!"
Ji Cangyu saw the sparkle in Teng Fei's eyes and looked at Qi Yang. Teng Fei has become greedy, and if he is allowed to follow him to Jinniu Village, bad things will happen.
Qi Yang understood and said, "Yang doesn't think so."
Teng Fei was stunned.
Qi Yang expressed his thoughts: "There may be some big secret hidden in the forbidden area, and the sudden prosperity of Jinniu Village may be the murderer behind the scenes who wanted to win over people and bribed Niu Da. Later, something big happened, The murderer behind the scenes was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he destroyed Jinniu Village and wanted to end it once and for all."
Hearing this, Xu Jun squinted his eyes and looked at Qi Yang.
"Ah?" Teng Fei exclaimed in surprise.
"In other words, what is hidden in the forbidden area may not be a treasure, but the murderer's secret?" Ji Cangyu frowned.
"You can say that." Qi Yang said.
Teng Fei was obviously frightened and said hesitantly: "Then... when you go... be careful!"
Ji Cangyu looked at Qi Yang and nodded appreciatively.
"Teng suddenly thought that there were some things to deal with in the village, so he excused himself." Teng Fei said and stood up.
"Master Teng Village, if you have something to do, go and do it first!" Ji Cangyu and others hurriedly got up to see them off.
After Teng Fei left the courtyard as if he was running away, everyone sat down again.
Zhong Gong smiled and said: "Brother Yang, look at how you frightened Master Teng Village like this!"
"If things are really like what Brother Yang said, this is the only way Master Teng Village can save the entire Beifeng Village. The less you know, the safer it will be." Gong Ming said.
"Did Brother Yang just want to scare Teng Fei?" Ji Cangyu asked with raised eyebrows. He felt that the other party's analysis was reasonable.
"No, that is what Yang guessed based on the current situation, but it is only a guess." Qi Yang said.
Zhong Gong and the others looked at each other, their expressions becoming a little heavy. If it is as Brother Yang expected, then this trip may be full of dangers.
Qi Yang asked: "Have you ever seen the three people imprisoned by Master Teng?"
"Not yet." Ji Cangyu replied.
"They have investigated Jinniu Village and forced their way into the forbidden area, but they did not find anything abnormal inside." Qi Yang said.
"That's weird! There's nothing unusual and you still have people guarding it day and night?" Zhong Long couldn't help but say.
"This shows that there is something strange in the forbidden area." Gong Ming frowned.
"Not bad! It seems that this trip to Jinniu Village is of great significance." Ji Cangyu said.
"This trip is very dangerous. Yang thinks that too many people should not go there." Qi Yang said and looked at Ling'er.
Ling'er's heart tightened, she wanted to go with Brother Qi Yang!
"Yes, Ling'er and Jun'er both stay!" Ji Cangyu also felt that this trip was very dangerous.
Ling'er was about to ask Ji Cangyu to take him with him when he heard Xu Jun say: "It's not safer to stay. Let's go together!"
Ling'er hurriedly looked at Xu Jun. It was reasonable that Xu Jun would try his best to follow. If Xu Jun follows to Jinniu Village, Uncle Ji and Brother Qi Yang's investigation will definitely be more difficult. If that's the case, she'd better stay in Beifeng Village with Xu Jun. Thinking of this, Ling'er lowered her eyes sadly and said nothing.
Ji Cangyu objected: "No, Jinniu Village is much more dangerous than Beifeng Village. Jun'er, be obedient! Why don't you let Zhong Gong and the others stay to protect you?" Ji Cangyu said, looking at Zhong Gong and Zhong Long.
"This is a den of bandits, can you really rest assured?" Xu Jun said dissatisfied.
How can Ji Cangyu feel relieved? He looked at Qi Yang in embarrassment and asked Qi Yang to make a decision.
Qi Yang looked at the depressed Ling'er, then at Xu Jun who insisted on following, sighed and said, "In that case, let's go together!"
Xu Jun looked at Ling'er as if he was taking credit, but Ling'er couldn't be happy. However, since Xu Jun will definitely find a way to follow, it would be good for her to go with him.
Ji Cangyu thought of something, and then said: "The three people who were imprisoned by Teng Fei before should have a certain understanding of the forbidden area. Why not bring them with us, so that they can show us the way or something?"
"That's fine!" Qi Yang agreed.
"I'm afraid it will take a long time to explore Jinniu Village. Everyone, please prepare some dry food!" After Ji Cangyu finished speaking, he turned to Ji Lie and said to him, "You and Yunwen will stay here."
"Yes, sir." Ji Lie bowed and responded.
"It's not too late, let's set off today! Ji Mou went to ask the leader of Teng Village to prepare some horses." Ji Cangyu said.
Ling'er thought that Qi Yang didn't eat meat and couldn't hunt some game to satisfy his hunger in the wild like others, so he hurried back to his house to find Bing'er to prepare food.

Before setting off, Ling'er finally saw the three people who were previously locked in the secret passage.
What shocked Ling'er was that these three people were all young men in their early twenties.
As soon as they arrived, they greeted Ji Cangyu and introduced themselves.
Among the three, the tall and thin one is named Liu Chuyuan, the strong one is named Zhao Xinghe, and the thin and small one is named Jiang Yu.
"Thank you, Master Ji, for saving us!" Zhao Xinghe led the other two people and bowed to Ji Cangyu.
"It's just a simple task, so you three young heroes don't have to be polite." Ji Cangyu said with a smile.
"By the way, there was a masked man in black who wanted to save us last night, but after asking for our identities, he left on his own!" Zhao Xinghe curled his lips and said.
"Yes! Fortunately, we patiently told him everything we knew. Unexpectedly, he refused to save him." Jiang Yu said angrily.
Ling'er looked at Qi Yang sympathetically. Brother Qi Yang obviously left them here for their safety, but he didn't expect that he would be blamed for not saving them.
Ji Cangyu also guessed who the black-clothed and masked man they were talking about was, and explained to Qi Yang: "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood him and Master Teng. Master Teng has protected you secretly because he is worried about what's going on behind the scenes." The murderer will take action against you."
"So, we have to thank them for locking us up?" Zhao Xinghe sneered.
Qi Yang took a step forward and said: "It is indeed the master of Teng Village who saved you. And I made it clear last night that you will be in danger once you show up. Especially this time, you have to go to Jinniu Village with us for in-depth investigation. There are many dangers, you must think carefully!"
