"Yes!" Nan Zhu took out the treasure map and spread it on the table. "This is where we are, and Lingshan is to the east, about ten kilometers away from here!"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "We arrived a little later than expected. Let's take a short rest and have lunch before continuing on our way. When we arrive at Lingshan, we will have a good rest today and start digging for treasures tomorrow!"
"yes!"
Shen Wei came over and looked at the treasure map, "It looks relatively easy, but digging is not that easy. Lingshan is so big, where do we start digging?"
"This...the specifics are not marked on it! Then send more people to look around! It's on this mountain after all, isn't it?" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"You are simply looking for a needle in a haystack!"
"We can't give up then! We'll talk about it when we get to the mountain anyway!" Zhao Xuanyi doesn't care so much. Nowadays, everything costs money. This treasure must be found!
After lunch, everyone started to break camp and rushed towards Lingshan. Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "As long as we reach Lingshan, everything will be easy to talk about!"
"Hopefully!" Nan Zhu said with a smile. She was not in a hurry to find the treasure. With Zhao Xuanyi by her side, she didn't expect anything else!
While everyone was on their way, when they were passing through a mountain road, they saw a group of officers and soldiers suddenly appear in front of them! The road was blocked, Zhao Xuanyi immediately pulled the horse, then turned to look at Nanzhu, "Why is there someone blocking the road on this mountain road?"
Nanzhu shook his head, "I don't know! There is nothing to protect or hide around here, and the court did not issue an order!"
The officers and soldiers saw a team coming from a distance. There were thousands of people, and these people were all wearing plain clothes. They wondered who they were from? Could it be a bandit? But looking at the looks of these people, they don’t look alike!
The officers and soldiers came over, looked up at Zhao Xuanyi and asked, "Who are you? Why are there so many of you?"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the soldier and thought to himself, I can't reveal my identity! So much preparation has been done before and after, if the identity is exposed at this moment, it will be in vain!
"Ah, we are returning the goods. We just came back from the Western Regions a while ago. After selling the goods in the capital, we hurried home!"
"A caravan leaving for the Western Region?"
"Ah, yes! In the past few years, our country has been in civil strife, and business has not been easy to do. So we went abroad to do business and earn some hard money! We just came back, and we just want to go home and live a good life, and rest for a few months before going out!"
"Where is your family from?"
"Shandong, we all are! But I didn't see Fengshan when I took this road before. What's going on?"
After the soldier heard this, he frowned and his eyes became very sharp, "When did you leave?"
"Me?" Zhao Xuanyi felt very strange when he saw something wrong in the soldier's eyes. The time to look at the problem is very important! Zhao Xuanyi rolled his eyes, "It's been two years since we left, right?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei and asked.
"That's right, two and a half years!"
The soldier nodded after hearing this, "That's right. We started to close the mountain a year and a half ago. No one is allowed to leave here. If you want to go back to Shandong, take a detour!"
"Sealing the mountain?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Nanzhu after hearing this. Why didn't he hear about such a big thing? When I came back from Shandong, I didn't hear that the mountains here were closed?
Tang Tianli asked, "Is this an order from the imperial court?"
The soldier looked at Tang Tianli, a little impatiently, "I said you have chicken feathers stuffed in your ears? Didn't you hear me say that the mountain is closed? Get out of here immediately! Otherwise, don't blame your grandfather. I'm not polite!" After the soldier finished speaking, he took the saber from his waist. Pull it out!
"What the hell?" Tang Tianli was about to pull him away when Shen Wei grabbed Tang Tianli's arm. "Didn't you hear what the military master said? Let's just change the route!"
Tang Tianli took his hands off his waist, and then looked at Zhao Xuanyi. Zhao Xuanyi's face was full of doubts, "Let's go, since we can't go this way, let's change the way!"
After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he changed direction and led everyone to change paths! "Nanzhu, have you heard that Lingshan is closed?"
"No! Moon Guard
No news has come! And this soldier is obviously lying! The mountain was closed a year and a half ago? How can it be? Didn’t King Yongan and the others also pass by here? "
"Could it be that our news was leaked?"
"Impossible! Only three people know the location of the treasure map. You, me, the eldest princess, and not even Xilan and Yuan Mei! How could the treasure map leak information?" Nan Zhu said with great certainty.
"That's strange. Who would seal the mountain without any problem?"
Shen Wei came to Zhao Xuanyi and said, "Young Master, maybe there is something wrong with this road. There is more than one road to Lingshan. Let's try another one!"
"Yes! Brother Shen is right, let's walk!" Zhao Xuanyi swung the reins and led everyone to change paths! This is also to protect his identity. If he reveals his identity, who would dare to stop him?
What Zhao Xuanyi didn't expect was that he changed a route and came to the foot of Lingshan Mountain, and was stopped by a group of soldiers again. The reason was very simple: the mountain was closed!
When Shen Wei heard this, he frowned, "My lord, please ask me! Why is this wonderful Lingshan Mountain sealed? Is there something special going on inside?"
"My lord, do I need to explain to you? If you don't want to be sued and go to jail, get out of here!" The soldier's attitude was very arrogant!
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he frowned and looked into the distance. There were not many people at this sentry point, only about thirty people. Zhao Xuanyi snorted coldly and turned to look at Tang Tianli, "Don't kill me yet, I have something to ask." !」
"Understood!" Tang Tianli waved his hands and pulled out the two axes from his waist. "Brothers, relax your muscles and bones for these people!"
"Yes!" Thousands of people rushed towards this group of soldiers like a colony of ants!
When these sentries saw this group of civilians rushing over on horseback with weapons in their hands, they were so frightened that they screamed, "What are you doing? Beating soldiers, this is a capital crime! Oh my...?"
In less than ten minutes, more than thirty people were arrested and tied up with ropes like pigs!
Tang Tianli came to the soldier who had just spoken [Papa! 】First gave him two slaps: "Can you speak?"
The soldier was beaten until his eyes were filled with stars: "Uncle, if you have anything to say, just ask, I will tell you everything!"
"Not bad! Very wise! Let me ask you, why did you close the mountain?"
"I didn't want to close the mountain. We closed the mountain after receiving an order!"
"What order? Whose order?" Tang Tianli asked.
"Master Magistrate, Peng Liuhuai, Magistrate Peng's order!"
Tang Tianli turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi, who looked at Nan Zhu, "Peng Liuhuai? Do you know him?"
"I'm not familiar with it! But I heard that this prefect is very greedy for money!" Nanzhu whispered.
Zhao Xuanyi nodded. At least he knew who he was, so it would be much easier. "When was the order to seal the mountain issued?"
"About a month ago!"
Zhao Xuanyi thought about it carefully and realized something was wrong. He only knew about the treasure map a few days ago, a month ago. My ancestors haven’t taught me how to read a map yet, so this is not for me, which means my identity is quite secretive!
"How long do you plan to seal it for?" Zhao Xuanyi continued to ask.
"I don't know! We have been here every day for more than a month! I don't know the specific situation. We are just following orders. Please be kind and let us go!" The soldier cried with a face. said.
Tang Tianli looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "Brother Guo? What should I do? Kill him?"
Zhao Xuanyi raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already evening, and it was already getting dark. "Throw it aside first, let the brothers change into their clothes, and continue to patrol and stand guard. Don't let others find out that something is wrong!"
"yes!"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei, "Order the other brothers to go into the mountains immediately, set up camp, and erase all traces on the road so that no one will find any suspicion!"
"Understood!" Shen Wei immediately made arrangements!
After all the tents were arranged, Zhao Xuanyi, Shen Wei, Nan Zhu and others walked into the tent. "Young Master, something is wrong! Nothing has happened in Lingshan for so many years. Why did we just get here?"
, just seal the mountain? Very strange! "
"At least I'm sure they're not here for us! Maybe there's something else going on here!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Then what should we do? Should we start digging right away, or should we do some research?"
"We can't rush this matter. Now we know that there is a treasure here. If we are too anxious, we will leak the information and we will be in trouble! In this way, let's rest tonight. Brother Shen, send a few brothers to go up the mountain at night. Turn around and see if there are any patrols on the mountain. Our identities must not be exposed!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei nodded and said.
