Escape after crossing

Not long after, the father and son came to the inn holding sunflowers, and Jiang Ziluo handed them the silver. Coincidentally, Leng Chenming, who had returned, witnessed all this, and only after the two entered the room did he ask what happened.

So Jiang Ziluo told him about how he met the father and son on the street and mentioned buying all their belongings. Then, Jiang Ziluo showed the things he bought to Leng Chenming, who took them and looked at them for a long time.

However, Leng Chenming was puzzled by the method of eating melon seeds that Jiang Ziluo mentioned. He tried one and found it tasteless and ordinary.

Although he was puzzled as to why Jiang Ziluo wanted to buy all the other person's goods, based on his past experience, he knew that when Jiang Ziluo took out these things again, they would definitely become mouth-watering delicacies.

However, Jiang Ziluo did not tell Leng Chenming how he planned to use these melon seeds. Although there were eleven plates in total, which seemed to be a lot, it was probably far from enough to make a profit.

Jiang Ziluo stared silently at the sunflowers in front of her, and the words that the father and son had just said kept echoing in her mind: "These melon seeds were actually picked up in the mountains..." She couldn't help but wonder why she got nothing when she was in Black Mountain?

What was even more puzzling was that in that dark forest, it seemed that no strange or rare creatures had ever been encountered! Thinking of this, Jiang Ziluo secretly made up his mind that he would step into the Black Mountain again after returning and embark on a more detailed exploration journey.

As the night deepened, the world was shrouded in darkness. The two quickly changed into night clothes and prepared to move again. Leng Chenming was still the leader. He led Jiang Ziluo with ease, moving freely in the dark like a ghost. Thanks to last night's experience, they went straight to the back door tonight.

Because the defense here is the weakest, if he didn't have to take Jiang Ziluo into consideration, with Leng Chenming's excellent lightness skills, even if he entered and exited through the main gate openly, the guards would probably find it difficult to detect his whereabouts.

However, just because of the presence of Jiang Ziluo, Leng Chenming lost his sense of certainty. More importantly, he was unwilling to take the risk. After all, they were in a foreign country at the moment. If they were not careful, both of them would be doomed.

After Leng Chenming climbed over the wall lightly, Jiang Ziluo followed closely behind him. They sneaked into the mansion quietly like ghosts, and kept vigilant at all times, cleverly avoiding the patrolling soldiers.

Unfortunately, when Jiang Ziluo had not yet found the exact location of the warehouse, a courtyard in the Xiao Mansion became unusually noisy. So Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming had to find a secluded place to hide.

"Leng Chenming, it will be easy for us to expose our identities if we act like this! What exactly happened in the Xiao family tonight?" Jiang Ziluo asked in a low voice.

"Then what do you think we should do? I know very well that you will never return empty-handed." Leng Chenming responded with a slight smile on his face.

"Hehe, it turns out that you understand me the best! How about this, I'll go steal a set of maid's clothes and put them on, and then you find a place to hide, or go and see what's going on over there. When you come back later, tell me in detail, okay?" There was a cunning look in Jiang Ziluo's eyes.

"You are alone? No, it's too dangerous." Leng Chenming frowned and said with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, I have the maid's clothes to cover me, nothing will happen. By the way, we will meet at the back door in half an hour. If I can't come out, but there is no other unusual movement in the yard, then you wait for me there.

Believe me, I will never put myself in danger." Jiang Ziluo comforted Leng Chenming in a firm tone.

However, Leng Chenming was still worried and was about to speak to stop him, but was interrupted by Jiang Ziluo: "Wait, no..."

Leng Chenming became more and more excited, and his voice became louder. Seeing this, Jiang Ziluo was startled and quickly covered his mouth with her hand, and looked around nervously. After a while, she slowly let go of her hand after confirming that no one else was paying attention.

At this moment, Leng Chenming's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He stared at Jiang Ziluo quietly, as if he was enjoying the moment when his lips were covered by that soft little hand.

When Jiang Ziluo turned around and looked at him, he suddenly realized that his previous behavior was a bit inappropriate, so he quickly pulled his hand back and lowered his head shyly.

Leng Chenming looked at the shy and lovely Jiang Ziluo in front of him, and his heart softened. But he still didn't agree with Jiang Ziluo taking risks alone. Jiang Ziluo shook his head gently and looked at Leng Chenming firmly.

"Trust me, I'll be fine." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around resolutely, with light and firm steps, and left her hiding place quietly and silently, walking away in the direction where the maids' clothes were stored.

Leng Chenming looked at her back as she walked away, feeling helpless, but he knew that he could only obey Jiang Ziluo's arrangement at this moment. He took a deep breath, quickly found a relatively secluded corner to hide, and stared at every move in the courtyard.

Not long after, Jiang Ziluo successfully arrived at the destination and retrieved the maid's clothes. She quickly changed into a disguise with skillful movements, and in the blink of an eye, she had transformed into a humble and pleasing little maid. Then, she began to carefully explore the exact location of the mysterious treasure house in the mansion.

At the same time, Leng Chenming keenly noticed that a group of people were gathered together not far away, and they seemed to be discussing something.

Recalling that Jiang Ziluo had told him before leaving, to find out the latest developments in the mansion and tell her when he got back, Leng Chenming made a prompt decision and cleverly found an excellent position where he could hear the conversation of those people without being easily discovered, and listened attentively to the various gossips they talked about.

At the same time, Jiang Ziluo on the other side also found the location of the warehouse at an astonishing speed and sneaked in quietly.

After entering the storehouse, she could not help but be shocked by the dazzling array of treasures in front of her - the sheer number and variety of treasures in it were staggering! Perhaps even the national treasury would pale in comparison; what's more, the texture and quality of some items were far superior to the treasures in the national treasury!

Jiang Ziluo walked around the warehouse, secretly thinking about how to get these treasures. However, just as she was about to take action, she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps approaching the warehouse.

Jiang Ziluo's heart tightened, but he did not panic. Instead, he quickly calmed down, moved quietly to the innermost corner of the warehouse, held his breath, and watched closely the movements around him.

Not long after, the door of the storehouse was pushed open with a creaking sound, and then two servants flashed in. They walked straight to a wooden box, took out an exquisite jade Guanyin statue from it, and left in a hurry. The whole process was not dragged out at all.
