"But when I left the village, my father told me to stay outside and that he would come to find me." Xiang Xiaohua looked confused. "He... he also said that he would come to my wedding with Ying Cheng."
"Then your father is probably coaxing you..."
Ying Cheng thought, but he didn't say it out loud.
"At least if we can't find them, those people won't be able to find them either." Lord Shen's eyes were cold. "They're probably watching you and your brother, waiting for a chance to follow you into the village."
"So if we return empty-handed, they can only continue to watch us and won't dare to do anything." Ying Cheng rolled his eyes. "But it doesn't feel good to be watched!"
Lord Shen smiled. "It's easy to determine their purpose. As for how to deal with them, we'll discuss it with your brother later."
"Then... then we won't look for them?" Xiang Xiaohua curled his lips. "I thought I could see my father!"
"How about we camp here and go back when the supplies are used up?" Ying Cheng suggested. "What if they suddenly appear at the village entrance?"
Lord Shen glanced at him, not wanting to discourage him, but suddenly his face changed. "Look over there!"
"What?" Ying Cheng turned his head, and then his face changed too.
Only Xiang Xiaohua asked stupidly, "What's wrong?"
"It's different from before." Ying Cheng pulled Xiang Xiaohua behind him.
Lord Shen's eyes lit up. He took two steps forward and turned his head to look at Ying Cheng.
"No way..." Ying Cheng was a bit excited. "Are we that lucky?"
When he was hesitating whether to go closer, he saw the branches shake. After a while, a head popped out.
"Father?!" Xiang Xiaohua was excited. He pushed Ying Cheng aside and ran over. "Father, father! Why are you here? "
A tall middle-aged man walked out from behind the tree. He was wearing a cotton coat, black cloth shoes, and a strange-looking hat on his head. His skin was darker than Xiang Xiaohua's, and their facial features were somewhat similar.
"Oh! You really are a flower boy! "The man touched Xiang Xiaohua's head and looked at Ying Cheng.
Ying Cheng twitched his mouth and walked over. "Village chief... long time no see!"
"Yes, come in first." The middle-aged man nodded.
Lord Shen said, "Wait a minute. Clean up the traces."
"Oh, Xiaohua is back!"
"Aiya! Isn't this your husband? "
"Mom, Xiao Hua's husband's friend is really good-looking. Why don't you let him stay with us?"
Prince Shen, "…"
"Where's my brother?" Xiang Xiaohua greeted the villagers with a smile on her face.
Ying Cheng and Prince Shen walked behind her and whispered, "Don't underestimate the brat who said you were pretty. They can drag a wild boar back with their bare hands."
"Is everyone so strong?" Prince Shen was curious. He happened to see an auntie splitting a rock with her bare hands.
"Innate divine strength." Ying Cheng's face was filled with jealousy. "Xiang Yu's descendant..."
Prince Shen looked around and saw that the entire village was like a paradise. There were terraced fields, old cows, and water wheels. Wooden houses of various sizes were clustered at the foot of the mountain, and a meandering river surrounded the village.
In short, it looked like an ordinary Jiangnan village.
"Elder Brother!" Xiang Xiaohua, who was in front, suddenly started running.
A young man stood in front of the wooden house not far away. He was also very tall … and very dark.
"Xiao Hua!" The young man rushed over with tears in his eyes.
"Elder Brother!" Xiao Hua rushed over with an affectionate face.
Ying Cheng's mouth twitched. Then he heard...
"Did you eat the jerky I hid under the bed?"
"No..."
"Nonsense, the jerky disappeared after you left."
"Father ate it..."
The village chief chuckled as he looked at his son and daughter. Then he turned his head and sighed. "Xiao Hua must have caused you trouble!"
"No, she's very good..." Ying Cheng glanced at him unnaturally and added, "Our whole family likes her very much."
"That's good." The village chief glanced at Prince Shen.
Ying Cheng hurriedly introduced him. "This is my brother."
"Hello." Prince Shen nodded.
The village chief pushed the door open. "Come in and talk!"
The house was cleaner than Prince Shen imagined. All the furniture was made of wood. There was a round table, wooden chairs, and a small red clay stove. However, it was not ordinary wood. It was high quality rosewood.
"..." Ying Cheng glanced at him. He knew that he must have seen that this village was not ordinary. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't because of the village chief.
On the other hand, the village chief happily invited them to sit down. "Tell me, why did you come back?"
"Village chief..." Ying Cheng showed a flattering smile. "How did you know we came back? You even specially came to pick us up. "
What he didn't ask was how the village chief opened the exit and happened to be right next to them.
"First, tell me why you came back." The village chief poured water into the teapot and started to make tea.
Ying Cheng didn't hide anything. He told him that someone wanted to find the village and suspected that there were treasures in the village.
"My brother said that you are the descendants of Xiang Yu..." He carefully observed the village chief's face. "Is it true?"
The village chief rolled his eyes. "Didn't you see clearly last time in the ancestral hall?"
I thought you had the same name... Ying Cheng coughed twice. "Then the treasures..."
"There used to be." The village chief raised his hand and poured tea for them. He didn't know what kind of tea leaves it was, but the water was pink and had a flowery fragrance. The village chief raised his teacup like an otherworldly expert.
Ying Cheng's mouth began to twitch again. Prince Shen, who didn't know the truth, raised his cup to the village chief. Then he heard this sentence.
"Fuck, if those treasures were still there, I would have left long ago!"
The scene changed too quickly. Prince Shen almost choked.
"Cough cough..." Even with his noble and cold temperament, he couldn't help but stare.
Ying Cheng looked as if he was used to this and said in a low voice, "Like father, like son."
Prince Shen understood. So he was similar to Xiang Xiaohua.
"The treasures are gone?" He took the initiative to ask.
The village chief glanced at him. "It's been gone for a long time. It was donated by my grandfather's grandfather to some local emperor to fight a war."
"In the stone room behind the ancestral hall, other than a few broken pieces of furniture, there are only cobwebs left."
Prince Shen touched the table where the tea set was placed and said meaningfully, "I'm afraid that those broken pieces of furniture are no longer there..."
"Haha!" The village chief laughed shamelessly. "That's not the point. The point is that starting from my grandfather's generation, there were villagers who accidentally left the village. Because they couldn't find their way back, they could only stay outside. "
Ying Cheng frowned. "You mean that the news of the treasures was leaked by those people who left?"
"They probably didn't mean to mention it, but the people outside had ulterior motives." The village chief said angrily. He looked at Ying Cheng as if he had taken advantage of him. "Originally! I thought that those people couldn't come in anyway, so what if they knew about the treasures. "
"But you appeared." The village chief rubbed his empty chin. "You even had skin contact with Xiaohua..."
Ying Cheng's face darkened. "I didn't!"
"How could you not?" The village chief couldn't take it anymore. He shouted, "Didn't you guys kiss!"
Prince Shen looked at Ying Cheng. His face said: You heartless man.
"What's with that look?" Ying Cheng clenched his teeth. "I was injured and she came to bring me food. In the end, a piece of meat fell on my face and she pounced on me to eat it. "
Prince Shen: So pitiful...
"Don't gloat." Ying Cheng poked him.
The village chief said to the moon, "I thought, since Xiaohua likes you, then let her go find you! But I didn't expect those people to target you. "
"Village chief, I have another question." Prince Shen interrupted him. "How did you make the village's exit appear?"
"Who doesn't have some privileges!" The village chief waved his hand. "The village chief can open the exit on the night of the full moon. Luckily, you guys were smart enough to come to the place where Xiaohua left. It wouldn't have worked anywhere else. "
"You mean, you can open the exit once a month, but only at the place where we just came in?" Prince Shen said thoughtfully. "Then how did Ying Cheng get out?"
The village chief curled his lips. "He was an accident. This village is affected by the earth's magnetic field. Accidents will happen occasionally. Otherwise, how could those people go out? "
"That's not right!" Ying Cheng had another question. "How did you know we came back?"
"Don't you know that there's a feeling called the bond between family members?" The village chief said proudly. "Our Xiang family's descendants can sense their bloodline. When a family member is near, they will feel it."
Prince Shen and Ying Cheng looked at each other. It didn't make sense.
Okay, the village's existence was unscientific.
"Right, don't let the villagers know that I can open the exit." The village chief warned them. "Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if they all run out."
They were all smart people. Of course, they knew what he meant. The outside world was beautiful, but the Xiang family's descendants were talented. If they were discovered, they would definitely be captured and experimented on.
"That's good. I won't let my ancestors down." The village chief sighed.
Ying Cheng said disdainfully, "Tell us the truth. What do you want?"
"How can you say that? I'm so sad." The village chief covered his chest with a grief-stricken expression.
"Stop it. Hurry up and tell us, or we'll leave." Ying Cheng looked at his watch. It was already midnight. If we don't leave tonight, we'll have to wait until the next full moon. "
The village chief's expression changed immediately. "Take Xiaohua's sister with you."
Ying Cheng.
"Young master, Boss Wan's people have started to move. I think there will be movements in Europe soon."
Ying Wang sat in his study, listening to his subordinate's report. "This is an opportunity. If possible, it's best to wipe out that organization."
"We've also received news that the people following Second Young Master have returned. They must be rushing back to support."
"Good. Keep watching." Ying Wang looked at his watch. It was time to feed.
Europe, a base.
"Boss Wan, we've always minded our own business. What do you mean by this?"
A blonde man was sitting in front of a video. Behind him stood an enchanting beauty. It was Huo Ning.
In the video, Boss Wan's face was full of impatience. "You know my relationship with the Ying family. Do you think I'm blind? Or do you think I don't dare to touch you?"
