"What are you doing here?" The owner of West Island didn't want to dwell on the topic of getting up early anymore, so he changed the subject directly.

Yun Huizhou said, "Uncle Master, it's already late June. I remember the rumor in the Central Plains region was that the treasure would be born in late June. When Uncle Master came here, was there any news?"

The West Island Master replied: "When I came here, there was no movement at the Imperial Mausoleum, but Dong Qing has brought people over there, and she will keep an eye on the situation over there."

"Bring people?" Lian Li was puzzled.

There are so few people on their Zuimeng Island, who would the East Island Lord bring with him?

"Master uncle accepted a disciple?"

After thinking about it, Lian Li only thought of this possibility.

After all, we haven't seen each other for a year, so it's normal for the uncle to accept a disciple. Zuimeng Island has high requirements for accepting disciples, but once a disciple is accepted, the disciple's martial arts can be decent in a year.

"It's only been a year. Isn't it a bit too dangerous for Master to take his disciple to the Imperial Mausoleum?"

Lian Li thought about his martial arts level, which had only been reached after learning for about a year. Even if his uncle-master accepted someone with talent comparable to Yun Huizhou, it should be impossible for him to be involved in the matter of the imperial mausoleum.

Lian Li asked three questions in a row, but Master Xidao did not interrupt him. He just sat there quietly and looked at him.

Only after Lian Li had asked all his questions did he slowly speak, "I'm not taking my apprentice with me."

After he said this, he stopped talking.

Lian Li could only continue to ask: "Who is the uncle taking with him?"

The West Island Master then continued, "Take Zhang He and Sun You with you."

Lian Li: "Uh... who are these two?"

The Lord of West Island looked at Yun Huizhou and motioned for him to explain.

Lian Li could only stare at Yun Huizhou when he saw this.

Yun Huizhou paused and said, "Zhang He is Uncle Zhang, and Sun You is... the chef of Nandao."

Lian Li showed a slightly dazed look and slowly uttered: "Ah?"

Yun Huizhou continued to explain: "As far as I can remember, Uncle Zhang has been a first-rate master, but his talent for martial arts is too poor. He used a secret method to reach the first-rate level, and he probably won't have the chance to reach the super first-rate level."

Lian Li said "oh". He was a little curious about what happened in the first-class place that Uncle Zhang used the secret method to enter. However, he didn't want to ask if Yun Huizhou didn't say it on his own initiative.

After all, Uncle Zhang took care of Yun Huizhou and raised him, so he is Yun Huizhou's elder.

So Lian Li turned around and asked, "What about our chef Sun from South Island?"

Chef Sun cooks very well. Lian Li really likes the food he cooks. It’s just that Chef Sun is fat and smiles a lot, and I didn’t expect that he is also a top-notch master.

Lian Li was quite surprised to hear the news.

He said blankly: "I didn't expect that there is such a hidden master in our South Island."

Seeing that the topic had changed, the West Island Master spoke again: "But speaking of it, Wulian City is still a bit remote. There is no news at all. Master didn't let the birds pass on the news to me. I also want to know what the situation is over there."

Since the West Island Master had said this, the two juniors naturally knew what he meant and immediately responded, "Then let's set off quickly. The matter of Fengling Villa has been delayed for too long."

The Lord of the West Island hummed softly, then waved his hand and sent Lian Li and Yun Huizhou out of the room.

Before the door closed, they heard the West Island Master say, "We will set out in half an hour. You guys pack up and go talk to the people who came with you to see what they plan to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was completely closed.

Lian Li and Yun Huizhou looked at each other. They had no choice but to go to Qu Tingquan's room and talk to him about this.

After listening to this, Qu Tingquan said directly: "I will definitely act with you."

Qu Tingquan's answer was within Lian Li and Yun Huizhou's expectations, so the negotiations were quickly concluded.

After the two left Qu Tingquan's room, they knocked on Captain Zheng's door.

After Captain Zheng opened the door and welcomed the two men in, he asked, "Master Yun, Master Lian, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lian Li got straight to the point: "Captain Zheng, we will be ready to set off in an hour, but we are not going back to Zuimeng Island, but to the Imperial Mausoleum."

As he spoke, he took out the letter written by General Lei from his arms and handed it to Captain Zheng, then continued: "But I'm afraid we won't be able to bring this letter back in time. Captain Zheng, are you willing to make this trip?"

Captain Zheng did not take the letter, but asked everyone else in the room to leave, leaving only himself, Yun Huizhou and Lian Li.

Captain Zheng spoke only after everyone had left and the door was closed.

"This is actually a blank letter with nothing written in it. General Lei wants you to deliver this letter in person, but it's just a cover."

"What's important is what happens during the delivery process, not whether Senior Li can receive the letter or the content of the letter."

After Captain Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of Lian Li and Yun Huizhou.

However, I found that the expressions of the two did not change, as if they had expected this.

He paused for a moment and continued, "On the way back, someone really took action and hooked out Hou Yuanpeng. It doesn't matter whether the letter is delivered or not."

Lian Li said, "I see. Since the person has been fished out and Hou Yuanpeng is dead, there is no need to deliver the letter. Captain Zheng, your mission is complete."

At this point, Lian Li gave him a sincere smile: "Captain Zheng can also return to the border to report."

Unexpectedly, Captain Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm not going back to the border."

Seeing Lian Li's puzzled look, Captain Zheng told him his next plan: "You two are going to follow Master Xidao to the Imperial Mausoleum, right? Why not take us with you? Although the general didn't order it, the Imperial Mausoleum is also related to this matter, so it can be considered as part of our mission."

Lian Li: "In that case, let's go together."

After leaving Captain Zheng's room, Lian Li and Yun Huizhou returned to their own rooms, each took a pill given by Master Xidao, and then sat cross-legged to regulate their breathing.

An hour later, they appeared in the lobby of the inn on time.

After a while, Qu Tingquan and Captain Zheng and his group also came down.

No one spoke, just sat in the corner waiting.

Soon, the owner of West Island also came out of the room. Yun Huizhou got up and went to the innkeeper to pay the room fee. Then the group rushed towards the imperial mausoleum without stopping.

Along the way, they passed by towns and went in to inquire for news. When they learned that the treasure of the imperial tomb had not yet appeared in the world, no one was very surprised except Qu Tingquan.

Captain Zheng and his crew were not concerned about the treasure, but the Island Master Xi, Lian Li and Yun Huizhou knew it clearly.
