The group tailed the County King of Yan and Gu Shixiong from afar. They would send scouts to scout ahead from time to time to ensure that they were heading in the right direction. If they noticed that the County King of Yan and Gu Shixiong had stopped, the group of over three hundred men would stop as well to avoid running into them.
They traveled and stopped for four or five days and Pang Xiao had sent out a dozen carrier pigeons.
You Meng would ask about it at first, but Pang Xiao would shoot him a cold glance and dismiss him with a "secret report from Your Majesty." Later on, You Meng got used to it and didn't even ask anymore.
"Report!" Another group of scouts returned from scouting. They came before You Meng's horse and reported in a hushed voice, "General, the County King of Yan and Gu Shixiong have entered a cave.
”
"Oh?" You Meng's eyes lit up in excitement. He dismounted from his horse and said, "Did you see it for real? You didn't lose track of them? Are you sure they didn't escape through a tunnel? "
"General, we've been following them from afar and did not attract their attention. Now, we have left a few people to guard the area and search for other exits in the surrounding area. "
"Good, very good!" You Meng laughed and instructed in a hushed voice, "You've done well. Remember to keep your mouth shut."
"Yes, sir!" The scout replied gruffly.
You Meng immediately returned to Pang Xiao's carriage and said, "Wang Ye! I have good news! "
Pang Xiao got down from the carriage alone when he heard that. "What good news? What's gotten you so excited? "
You Meng's eyes were filled with excitement as he whispered, "I think we've found the treasure!"
"What?"
"The scouts reported that they saw the County King of Yan and his men enter a cave with their own eyes. They've left men to keep watch nearby and have ordered others to search for other exits."
Pang Xiao clapped his hands and exclaimed in delight, "Now we've solved Your Majesty's urgent problem! This is great! Our brothers' hard work over the past few days was not in vain. Come, let's follow them quietly. "
When You Meng saw that Pang Xiao's first reaction was that she was happy to relieve Your Majesty's worries, he silently remembered it in his heart.
Pang Xiao returned to the carriage, wrote another note, and released a carrier pigeon.
When You Meng saw the carrier pigeon, he smiled and instructed everyone to set off quietly.
The carriage rocked gently. Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining and leaned against the big pillow. She whispered, "Sister Yi, do you think it's okay for us to do this?"
Qin Yining smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. If that treasure fell into the hands of an evil person, it could very well become a murder weapon. It would be better to use it for the common people and not waste this treasure stained with the blood and tears of the Dayan people. "
"You're right. But aren't you worried that something might go wrong with the Yuchi Yan? " When Pang Xiao asked this, she stared fixedly at Qin Yining's face, as if she wanted to find any clues from her expression.
Qin Yining was a smart person. When she heard Pang Xiao's jealous words, she found it very funny.
Could it be that her man still minded that she had almost become the Empress of the Yuchi Yan?
"It's true that the County King of Yan is not a completely evil person. But now, we are already on opposing sides. Secondly, he had abandoned his wife, so he can't blame anyone else. It's understandable that he wants to restore his country and obtain the treasures of the incapable ruler. But he chose to use the most despicable method. "
Qin Yining thought of the Yuchi Yan who had a strong scholarly aura and was quite righteous. She couldn't help but feel that he had changed.
Time and reality were both powerful weapons that could change people.
She didn't know when the Yuchi Yan had become so stubborn and stubborn that he didn't care about family.
Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining and kissed her on the cheek several times. "My Sister Yi is always right."
Qin Yining was both angry and amused by his words.
"I'm telling the truth. Why do you sound like you're forcing yourself to say it?"
"My wife is always right." Pang Xiao began to grope Qin Yining's body restlessly again.
Qin Yining couldn't help but sigh softly. After they got married, Pang Xiao seemed to have opened the door to a new world. He only knew how to take her after he tasted her, and he especially liked to stick to her.
Qin Yining sometimes even thought that Pang Xiao's clingy behavior reminded her of Da Hei at home.
"Wang Ye, the front line has reported that they have found the exit of the cave and have arranged for people to guard it," You Meng replied from outside the carriage.
Pang Xiao put away the inappropriate thoughts on her face and said energetically, "Very good. Then we should go and take a look. "
Qin Yining lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. She looked at the surrounding villages and fields, then raised her head to look at the seemingly familiar mountain in front of her. She said, "This can't be Mount Mao 'er, right?"
Pang Xiao said, "It is indeed Mount Mao 'er. It's rare that you still remember."
This place was very close to the old capital of Dayan. Qin Yining often came out and walked around, so she naturally remembered this ownerless mountain.
However, the reason why Qin Yining was surprised was not because she saw the mountains of Great Yan Dynasty.
It was because this mountain was the mountain on the fake map that she had casually drawn back then. After Lu Heng got the treasure map that she made, he came out to look for the treasure. It was said that he was buried when the earth dragon turned over.
But this was too much of a coincidence!
She had casually drawn it and actually found the right mountain!
If Lu Heng really found the treasure with her scribbles, then it would be very interesting …

Yuchi Yan and Gu Shixiong held the lanterns in their hands and slowly walked forward while feeling the uneven walls.
Gu Shixiong's old voice was filled with excitement, and it echoed loudly in the cave.
"Don't worry, I didn't set up any traps here. There won't be any danger. "
"Now that you say it like that, I feel a bit more at ease." Yuchi Yan patted his chest and lifted his spirits to continue walking inside.
Yuchi Yan had been pampered since childhood. If he ate a grain of rice less or walked for two more hours, he would be earnestly admonished by the eunuchs.
This time, he and Gu Shixiong had planned to escape. He had followed this old man all the way to this treasure that Li Qitian had spent so much effort to find. How could he sit down and rest?
The cave entrance became more and more spacious, and not long after, they arrived at a huge empty space.
The lanterns in their hands were swaying in the wind, and the orange flames of the candles flickered. Although the light was not very bright, the two of them could see how rich the gold, silver, and jewels piled up in the large boxes on the ground were.
Yuchi Yan carried the lantern and shuttled back and forth among the wooden chests in a daze. She grabbed a string of pearls and placed neatly below them were silver ingots.
Looking back, there were at least twenty of these large boxes, and some of them were even filled with priceless gems.
"How much wealth did Imperial Father take from the people?!"
