A sweet story about traveling into the world of beasts, killing the heroine and becoming the next in

"I have been held hostage by the evil villain. Your Highness does not need to worry about my safety!" When the wife of Congdu said this, her voice was trembling and tears appeared in her eyes with excitement.

It doesn't look like 'don't worry' at all.

Lan Ning glanced at the people sitting in the room, and the one in the middle with the knife on the neck of the wife from the capital seemed to be irritated by her words, and the sharp blade moved closer to her neck.

The pain in her neck made the wife from the capital city tremble, and then the tears in her eyes became more obvious.

"Your purpose is to kill me, why are you holding her hostage?" Lan Ning had no choice but to jump out of Xuan Mo's arms and question the bandits with ferocious faces.

There were only two women in the City Lord's Mansion, so it was clear who was more important. Or did they think Lan Ning was easily soft-hearted and took the wife of the former capital as a hostage? They shouldn't be that stupid, right?

"We know that you are more important than the woman we are holding hostage. It's just that there are some things that the wife didn't explain clearly, so we need her to stay with us for a while." A man from the Mamba snake tribe showed an exceptionally sinister and cunning smile.

He tapped the table lightly with his hand, staring at the wife from the capital who was pretending to be calm with his scarlet eyes, "The person we are waiting for has arrived. If you still don't tell us the whereabouts of the map, we will have to send you underground to explore the way for Princess Lan Ning..."

His eerie voice, coupled with that strange face, made people feel a chill down their spines and frightened the wife so much that she turned pale.

"I..." The wife from the capital city found that the knife was getting closer and closer to her neck. She felt a pain and could faintly smell blood.

"What map?" Seeing how persistent these people were, Lan Ning became particularly interested in what they were looking for.

This bunch of people are desperate criminals. They remained calm in the face of two senior officials and insisted on asking about the whereabouts of the map despite such great pressure. Could it be that... it is a priceless treasure?

Lan Ning really couldn't think of what could interest them for a while.

It seems that this group of people have already sided with Furou. What they are pursuing is nothing more than power and money. If it is just these two things, I am afraid it is... the latter.

"Money?" When Lan Ning said this word, the men with strange faces all showed surprised expressions. It seemed that she guessed right.

Are they running out of money so quickly?

Lan Ning couldn't help but become curious, "I saw Heng Yue when I entered the city just now. Could it be that he is here to give you a death order?"

Those people were stunned again.

"Batu! What's going on?" A bad-tempered Mamba rushed to Batu and grabbed him by the collar. "Didn't you say there are no other Xindu people from the capital? What's going on with Hengyue? Why don't you introduce him to us?!"

The people in the Mamba Snake Clan are not stupid. They know who is the man who has been with Furou the longest and who has the most say.

As killers in the dark, the Mamba snake tribe was well-informed. They had actually received the commission to assassinate Lan Ning a long time ago, but at that time, Furou had not yet rebelled.

So even though they were envious of the gold and silver, they did not dare to go to Wanjing casually.

Later, Furou rebelled and sent people to the residence of the Mamba snake tribe again and again. They discussed many times but couldn't find a suitable opportunity. They finally waited until Lan Ning left Wanjing...

Then, Batu said that he was Furou's messenger. At that time, they were thinking about how to gain greater benefits. Who knew that the people sent out to gather information said that Furou's faction was becoming more and more powerful and was about to surpass Wanjing Kingdom.

They hesitated for a while and finally received news from Batu, saying that as long as they killed Lan Ning, they would have a chance to meet Fu Rou, they would become guests of honor in the new country, and their status could even surpass that of the Xuanmang clan!

However, Batu clearly said that none of Furou's close associates would see him until the mission was completed, but now he heard Lan Ning say that Hengyue appeared in Congdu City?

What does this mean? Don't trust the abilities of the Mamba Snake Tribe? And why do you want to come over and supervise?

"Tell me! What is Hengyue doing here?"

Otherwise, why do people say that the snake tribe likes to be suspicious by nature? This stubbornness is exactly the same as Xuan Heng sometimes. They are in the same group with the man named Batu!

Why are they now in internal strife because of the appearance of Heng Yue?

Lan Ning didn't understand. She was thinking about how to rescue the crying wife from the capital.

"Ningning, what are you thinking about?" While observing the situation, Xuan Mo would also take the time to look at the kitten in his arms. Seeing her in a daze, he would rub her head to bring Lan Ning's wandering thoughts back to normal.

Lan Ning: "How to get her out?"

she?

Xuan Mo glanced thoughtfully at the wife from the capital. They all thought that she had rebelled, but they didn't expect that she was threatened by a fictitious map?

He had heard of it. It was said that there was a gold mine under the capital city, with endless gold in it. Many people said that this was one of the reasons why the capital city had been rich for so many years.

It's just that no one has ever seen this map.

Xuan Mo naturally had never seen it before. The road to the He Clan was not accessible from the capital, so even when he was assisting officials in the court to do something, he just passed by in a hurry.

Is it possible...

"Is there really such a map?" Liang Chen asked quietly to Jing Ye, who was standing beside him like a frosty frost. He was not from Wan Jing Country, and he didn't know the differences between the big and small cities. When he heard about the map, he naturally felt it was very interesting.

He had heard a lot about treasure maps when he was in Lou Yue, but most of them were fake.

There is no particularly long-standing civilization in the Realm of Ten Thousand Beasts. Basically, all things are used repeatedly by several generations. Even when many cities were not yet built, they did not circulate gold and silver.

I'm not very interested in gold mines or silver mines.

It’s different now. With the development of the Realm of Beasts, many people in high positions have gradually begun to like embellishing themselves with gold and silver.

But these things are more useful for buying things.

In this world, Lan Ning has never actively used money to buy things, but this does not mean that she does not know the attraction and usefulness of money to people.

What’s more, it was Furou’s group of people who rebelled halfway?

"Probably not." After thinking for a while, Xuan Mo said what he had guessed over the years, "If there is, the current capital city must be more prosperous than Wanjing City."

This place, the capital, used to be a desert, and every brick and tile was brought from nearby cities. Xuan Mo still remembers what it looked like when he passed by as a child.

"No." Lan Ning, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly noticed the strange emotional fluctuations of his wife from the capital city. Because the group of bandits were arguing, the person who wanted to stop the fight didn't know what to do for a moment and actually moved the knife closer.
