Harem Daily Life

"Yanyun Mountain treasure map? What is this thing?" Jiang Yingying asked in a low voice.

Qi Yizheng shook his head. "I don't know exactly what it is. Ningyuan Hou asked me to look for it. He said he heard from the people living near Yanyun Mountain that a group of people surrounded the area and transported a lot of things into the mountains. When they came out, they were traveling light."

Jiang Yingying bit her lip: "Then...if we can't find the treasure map, we have to stay in Yan State forever? But where can we find this thing?" There was no whereabouts, not even a direction to inquire.

Qi Yizheng sighed softly, "Sometimes I wonder why we found traces of the Canglong Sect in Yan State. Is it possible that they are also looking for a treasure map, so they are lurking near Yan State?"

Neither of them knew whether there was any connection between the two. They had originally stayed in Yan State to search for the whereabouts of Canglongmen. After failing to find the answer, they thought of returning to Da Zhou first. But now they had another task to do, and there was no time to return.

Suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from afar. Qi Yizheng hurriedly hugged Jiang Yingying and flew directly to a tree nearby.

"There's an assassin. Don't let him get away!"

Shouting sounds were heard, and a group of guards were chasing several people fleeing in their direction.

The sound of weapons clashing was heard, and those men were caught up by the guards and started fighting not far away from them.

"Hand over the things, otherwise, you will never escape." There were a large number of guards. Qi Yizheng discovered that these guards were not ordinary guards. Judging from their attire, they should be people serving in the imperial court.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the people who were surrounded.

"Boss, let's hold them back, you take the things and go first!" The surrounded people said the words of the Great Zhou. Qi Yizheng and Jiang Yingying, who were hiding in the tree, looked at each other, and tacitly thought about whether to go down to rescue them later. After all, they were all from the Great Zhou.

Qi Yizheng gave Jiang Yingying a calming look, signaling her to listen first.

"Want to run? None of you can escape! You bold thieves, you actually dare to pretend to be people from Yan to steal the treasure map, you don't want to live anymore. Come on, the map is on them, kill them all, don't leave any alive!" As soon as the leader of the guards gave the order, the guards swarmed towards the people from the Great Zhou.

Jiang Yingying mouthed two words to Qi Yizheng: "Treasure map."

Qi Yizheng nodded, thought for a while, then tore off two pieces of cloth and covered each of their faces with one.

"Whatever the treasure map is, since these imperial guards value it so much, let's seize it first. Remember, we don't know where those people from the Great Zhou came from, so don't reveal your identity to them."

Qi Yizheng quickly finished his explanation, then he and Jiang Yingying fell from the tree and joined the battle.

Suddenly, there were two more people, and both sides who were fighting were a little confused.

Qi Yizheng and Jiang Yingying, one was fighting with the guards of Yan State, and the other was fighting with the boss of those Great Zhou people. It was obvious that they came to seize the spoils of war.

After fighting for a while, the people from the Great Zhou were held back by the guards of the Yan State and could not leave, and on the other hand, they were held back by Jiang Yingying, so they gradually became restless and their movements became disorganized.

"Brother, we can't linger in this fight. Take your things and leave! The Sect Master is waiting!"

Jiang Yingying narrowed her eyes. When she heard the word "master", she became excited. She quickly adjusted her strategy. She fought while protecting the man to retreat, giving him a chance to escape, and then followed him.

Qi Yizheng saw through Jiang Yingying's thoughts almost instantly, and he cooperated with her. He stopped entangled with the Yan State guards and instead went to escort the person with the treasure map.

"Who are you two? I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business!" The Yan State guards shouted at Qi Yizheng.

Qi Yizheng ignored him, walked up to him, kicked him away, then immediately turned around, grabbed the man called "Big Brother" and ran away.

Jiang Yingying followed closely behind, and the two of them disappeared in an instant with one person.

The remaining few people from the Great Zhou held back the Yan guards, and only a few guards chased in the direction the three men fled.

"Who are you?" The man was taken hostage to a remote alley and could no longer run. He asked fiercely, protecting the things in his arms.

"Hand over the treasure map, and I'll let you go." Qi Yizheng spoke in the dialect of the Great Zhou. The man was stunned for a moment: "Are you from the Great Zhou?"

Qi Yizheng did not comment and approached him step by step: "Give it to me." There was no room for doubt.

"This is the treasure map we obtained from the Emperor of Yan with great difficulty. We will never give it to you." After saying that, he attacked Qi Yizheng.

In a few moves, Qi Yizheng broke his arms. He was unable to resist and watched Qi Yizheng take away the treasure map from him while dragging his two immobile arms.

"You two robbers, this is what we stole after being undercover for half a year. We are all from the same Great Zhou, why do you have to make things difficult for each other?" The man wanted to reason with him, but Qi Yizheng was not the kind of person who would let you off just because you spoke a few words from the same hometown.

He went straight over and searched out the map that the man was carrying, unfolded it and took a look, his eyes lit up with joy.

To confirm his thoughts, he pretended to ask, "Is this the treasure map of Yanyun Mountain?"

The man panicked and quickly denied: "What... what Yanyun Mountain treasure map? It's just a map."

But his expression could not deceive Qi Yizheng. Qi Yizheng took the picture into his arms and said: "Let's go. Since you are from the Great Zhou, I will not take your life."

The man's arm was now broken and his map was stolen. If he didn't leave, he would lose his life, so he had to quickly disappear into the night.

"Is it really the treasure map of Yanyun Mountain?" Jiang Yingying asked happily. She didn't expect that their mission would be accomplished so quickly.

Qi Yizheng grabbed her and flew onto the roof: "Come on, let's follow them and see who they are."

Qi Yizheng was very curious about who they were, as they were able to go undercover for half a year just to steal a picture.

Both of them were very cautious and followed the man all the way to a remote courtyard. There were only two lanterns lit in the courtyard, and it was not very bright.

They saw the man enter the house and was carried out shortly afterwards. It was obvious that he had been executed.

The two looked at each other, quietly walked around to the window sill of the house, and eavesdropped with their ears close to the window.

"Cheng Yaojin shows up out of nowhere? Humph, it really makes me angry!" It was obvious that this person was the leader here.

"Master, do you want to send another group of people to get the treasure map back?" The man asked in a panic tone. He should be a subordinate.

"Where did they rob? Didn't you hear what he said? The other party was masked. Do you know who robbed it?" the leader said coldly.

There was no sound from inside. After a long while, the leader said, "Has the medicinal material buyer near Yanyun Mountain not left yet?"

The subordinate replied, "He hasn't left. He seems to be staying here permanently. I see him taking people up the mountain to collect herbs every day. I don't see him bringing back many herbs, but he has marked a very detailed map of Yanyun Mountain."

"Hmph, no matter who he is, anyone who dares to snatch the treasure from my Canglong Sect deserves to die!" A teacup was thrown to the ground, making a sound of breaking into pieces.
