At night, Jiang Yanchuan personally led the team and selected a few accompanying military generals... as well as a few civil officials who had been crying and wailing since the afternoon and wanted to "share the worries of His Majesty". While the little guy was fast asleep, they sneaked out of the inn skillfully.

The Minister of Revenue Jiao Hongmiao was chosen because he cried the loudest and made the most noise. He happily stuck close to Lu Yao and Lei Zhixin, walking briskly.

The sense of security in my heart was raised to the highest level.

And he doesn't take the sarcasm or ridicule around him to heart at all.

"The team composition today is really reassuring," a colleague's friendly voice came from behind him, and he changed the subject midway through, "But I don't know why the master agreed to let some people join us."

The targeted meaning in the words was extremely obvious, and everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on Jiao Hongmiao.

Jiao Hongmiao hummed a little tune happily, slowly took out a thick stack of rice paper from his bag, and shook it twice in the air without looking back.

It records everything the little guy said in his mind that afternoon. Among them, the number of pages he copied is the largest, and the information recorded is also the most critical.

The rustling sound of the papers swaying was crisp and pleasant, just like the sound of the other party's defense being broken.

The person who spoke earlier was silent for a while, and ended his attack with a cold snort to save his face.

"The master asked us to practice martial arts because he was concerned about your safety," the newcomer quickly added, "I think it's better for people to have more trust in each other."

Just like, don't think that if you don't go treasure hunting yourself, the treasure will fall into someone else's pocket.

Jiao Hongmiao also snorted coldly.

He thought very clearly.

There are far more than just him in the team now, but all of them are pointing their spearheads at him, simply because he is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and they are afraid that today all the treasures in the mountain will be confiscated by him into the national treasury.

He was disdainful and didn't understand what these people had to worry about.

——Will worrying stop him from taking action?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible! !

"Jiao——"

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yanchuan, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Stop."

Everyone's expressions were startled, and they held their breath and looked in the direction where Emperor Mingze was looking.

The moonlight is very bright tonight, as if it has coated the ground with a layer of soft silver light, making it easier for people to see the road conditions under their feet.

Everyone was worried about causing unnecessary trouble by being too conspicuous, so they did not light torches after entering Yuntong Mountain.

The person on the other side obviously thought the same.

The crowd could not see the specific appearance of the people opposite, they could only see that they were squatting on the ground, waving shovels in their hands back and forth.

"Treasure hunter?" someone asked in a low voice.

then--

"Over there, don't bury the things you bought from old man Li in the East Market!" Suddenly, a powerful voice said angrily, "It has been exposed three times today! Three times!!"

"If we are discovered again, it will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of our Tuobi County!!"

There were sporadic responses from the crowd on the opposite side.

The ministers: "..."

The confused expressions suddenly disappeared and the ministers suddenly realized.

It is you!

The hot-tempered Master Wen!!

The things here are really what you buried overnight! !

Jiang Yanchuan made a prompt decision: "Take a detour."

Tuobi County is a mixed bag of people, and it is not as easy to control as the previous two stopovers. Jiang Yanchuan does not want to easily expose his identity here, which would only add trouble to the subsequent journey.

The crowd walked around the people in the county government for a long time. After a long time, they finally returned to where they had stood before with the help of their powerful memory.

This place is still a long distance away from the entrance pointed out by the little guy. Everyone turned around and looked back. Yue Henqing took the initiative to run through the crowd, walked all the way to the front, and stood behind Emperor Mingze.

Yue Henqing bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty."

Jiang Yanchuan said "hmm": "Did you look carefully during the day?"

Yue Henqing nodded.

When he came here with a group of people today, he did not pay any special attention to this place, thinking that it was just a place that the young prince came to casually on a whim.

It was not until a minister reminded him to pay attention to the terrain here that he realized that the entire valley was actually an extremely huge formation. The place pointed by the ministers did not seem too far away, but in fact...

It may take some people a lifetime.

Fortunately, he is not among these “some people”.

Jiang Yanchuan stepped aside to let Yue Henqing walk to the front of the team, and the group followed in silence and order.

The journey to the entrance was uneventful, and we didn't even encounter any wild animals.

Jiao Hongmiao was responsible for recording and transcribing the mechanism on the entrance gate. He followed in person, so no one else took note of this information.

As the only technician present who could dismantle the mechanism, he walked forward slowly and proudly. When he met the person who had mocked him earlier, he glanced at him with great complacency.

The man: "..."

Are you childish? ! !

Open the mechanism, enter the secret room, dismantle the hidden weapon...

All the way was safe and sound, until——

"Click——"

The sound of the mechanism being activated rang out clearly in the middle of the crowd. It was not loud, but it successfully made everyone stop!

Jiao Hongmiao's pupils constricted, and his voice was so sharp that it was almost distorted: "Who touched the mechanism?!!"

He had clearly emphasized to everyone repeatedly before entering the room where the traps were hidden, and as long as they were a little careful, they would be able to get out safely!

"not me!"

"I haven't moved either!"

"He's not one of ours..." Among the crowd, Lord Wang's voice was particularly heavy, "I'm standing right here... No one has ever touched me..."

The sound of inhaling gasps rang out in this enclosed space. At the moment when more "clicks" were heard, Jiang Yanchuan shouted in a low voice: "Run!"

Everyone suddenly came back to their senses, and while enduring the intense tingling sensation on their scalps, they started running for their lives! !

"Run, run, run!!!"

"Hurry up, those in front!"

"boom--"

A stone wall fell from above everyone's head at an extremely fast speed, dividing the entire team into two halves!

"Ahhhhh!!"

……

entrance.

Wen Ruxin tapped randomly on the stone wall. Seeing that nothing happened, the doubt in his eyes became heavier: "Are you sure there is a treasure in here?"

Ying Sinan nodded heavily: "Of course!"

Afraid that the other party would not believe him, he poured out his thoughts like pouring beans: "Since we found the treasure after the previous landslide, it proves that there must be such a treasure place on this mountain!"

"And there are many mazes set up outside this place, which must be to protect the treasures hidden inside!"

When he followed the group of people here in the afternoon, he discovered that an extremely powerful formation had been set up in the dense forest behind him. He thought at the time that he must bring people to search again.

He wanted to let his stubborn old father know that the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams he had practiced over the years could also come in handy!

Wen Ruxin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. When he looked up again, he finally made a decision: "Let's go."

"Go in and have a look."
