Chapter 29 Night Guest

The man walked straight to the crooked neck tree and dug out the bag of gold coins that had been buried not long ago without any hesitation.

After digging the ground, Lu Xiaofeng noticed that he habitually put his left hand to the side of his waist and only used his right hand to pick up the bag.

——This is a typical habit developed by people who have been wearing swords for a long time.

When a person who has been wearing a knife for a long time bends down, it is very easy to be hit by the knife and interfere with the movement of the hand.

Therefore, whenever a person who wears a sword does any work that requires bending, he will habitually hold the scabbard with his left hand first, and then work with his right hand.

Over time, even if these people no longer carry swords for a while, they will still make this action subconsciously.

After that, the man carefully filled the dug hole and placed a small stone on it.

After doing all this, he walked back carrying the gold coins.

After witnessing all this process, Chu Qi and Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but look at each other.

Chu Qi suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying possibility. She hurriedly reached out and tugged on Lu Xiaofeng's clothes and said softly:

"Lu Xiaofeng, you said that Chalaga is the major general of the Golden Eyes Kingdom. The temperament of the man just now seems to be from the army, so could the money be... military expenses?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng's expression also became serious.

"I'm afraid your guess is correct. In this way, the prime minister's reason for stealing the treasure house will be even more solid! I think that the father and son definitely did not do it on the spur of the moment... but had already planned it."

Chu Qi also understood the seriousness of the matter. She followed Lu Xiaofeng's thinking and speculated:

"Then it's no wonder that the prime minister issued a death order to get rid of those fakes.

It seems that the Treasure Pavilion was not emptied overnight at all, but that the prime minister had replaced the genuine items with fake ones bit by bit over the years.

He originally wanted to use this trick to hide the truth, but unfortunately, although King Jinzhong was not stingy, he had a good eye. He must have discovered something wrong with the national treasure when he inspected the treasure pavilion...

Therefore, the prime minister had to use the name of Princess Jinling to steal the key and remove all the fakes! "

After listening to Chu Qi's analysis, Lu Xiaofeng gave Chu Qi an appreciative look.

"It's just that the more clues there are, the more I feel that this trip to the desert is a complete conspiracy. Chuqi, do you feel that the relationship between Princess Jinling and King Jinzhong is not as simple as we see? "

Chu Qi thought for a while, nodded, shook his head again, and said:

"I think so too. Although I don't know what the connection is between them, my intuition tells me that Princess Jinling must have hidden something very important from us!"

How should I put it... Anyway, I just feel that something is not right. I find it particularly strange that Princess Jin Ling can sneak into the palace again and take the key to the secret room despite being so intensively wanted. "

Chu Qi said, spread his hands, and said jokingly:

"Perhaps King Jinzhong got the news from Chalagaru that the princess was going to enter the palace, and then replaced all the guards on duty that night with his own people, pretending that they were all blind. Couldn't he let the princess in? Well."

Chu Qi's words successfully amused Lu Xiaofeng. He smiled and ruffled Chu Qi's hair, his face full of teasing.

"If this is the case, then the two siblings will not be restricted by the Prime Minister to this point. There must be other hidden reasons... But I think your statement has some truth. Hey... I really don't want to continue to eat sand in the desert. Got it!"

The two chatted for a while longer, but they both kept their voices and movements quiet so as not to wake up the person underneath who was snoring loudly.

After the two of them finished speaking, they lay down on the eaves and began to meditate with their eyes closed. Lu Xiaofeng took off his robe and covered them. Fortunately, there was no wind tonight, so the two of them cuddled together, and the desert night was not that cold.
