Brother Guan replied, "Grandfather, those fallen leaves covering the ground look like gold. They almost blinded me!"

Guan Lao couldn't help but laugh, "You're such a loser! You were blinded by that little rag and a leaf? If you really saw that much gold, wouldn't you be scared to death?"

Brother Guan whispered a warning: "Grandfather, your son has no dignity, right? He's guarding so many people, how can he be so sarcastic?"

Mr. Guan stopped joking and asked solemnly, "Can you count how many big trees there are?"

Brother Guan immediately replied, "Two rows, horizontally and vertically, eight trees each!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly denied it: "No, why is there an extra tree on the left? It becomes five trees?"

Guan Lao couldn't help but frown. He asked doubtfully, "There should only be four trees. Go and take a look. What's the situation with that extra one?"

Brother Guan was suddenly in trouble. The extra tree was at the very end. How could he get past it?

At this time, the thief hurried forward and handed him the rope: "Brother Guan, you can hang this rope at both ends and swing it like a swing!"

Brother Guan did as he was told and indeed swung under the big tree.

But now he saw clearly that the tree had split roots.

Strictly speaking, there are still four trees.

He yelled at Guan Lao Da: "No extra, just four on each side!"

Guan Lao ordered in a deep voice: "Cut down the two trees near you. That way, the trap in the swamp will be broken!"

Zhan Yan ordered his men to go over one by one and quickly follow Guan Lao's orders to cut down the trees.

After all, they were all strong soldiers in their prime. With just a few blows from their axes, the two trees fell to the ground.

Everyone only heard a loud bang, and then saw that the two trees had turned into a ready-made wooden bridge, blocking the swamp tightly.

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but sigh, "How amazing! It wasn't like this just now. It's so difficult to cross the swamp!"

Yin Yue also interjected, "Master Guan, when you were setting up the mechanism, these trees weren't supposed to be this tall and strong, right? How did you calculate that once they were cut down, they would be perfect for building a bridge?"

Guan Lao laughed: "When I first set up the mechanism, these trees were still saplings. I deduced it step by step. By the time the forbidden area is opened, they will be able to be paved into a bridge!"

Lin Yiwan really admires him very much. It is true that every profession has its own expertise and there are geniuses in every field.

After everyone walked through the swamp, a huge stone gate appeared in front of them.

At this time, the thief reminded: "If you sprinkle white phosphorus powder around, it will spontaneously combust without fire!"

After hearing his words, Guan Lao's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Have you been here?"

The thief replied awkwardly, "Well, before, I followed Madam Hou's orders and tricked all the fierce bandits from Taiyin Mountain into coming here. They were all devoured by these two traps. Except for me, no one survived!"

Guan Lao's face suddenly became agitated. He forced himself to speak, "You, you really tricked all the bandits from Taiyin Mountain into coming here? Are they really all dead?"

The little thief nodded heavily: "Yes, he is dead, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Old Guan couldn't help shedding tears: "Good, very good, my husband An Ning's great revenge has finally been achieved!"

At this time, Granny Guan said with red eyes: "Back then, besides those aristocratic families who came to look for my father, there were also bandits from Taiyin Mountain. After all, the wealth was too dazzling, so they naturally wanted to try their luck. However, my husband tried his best to stop them from carrying my father away, but they cut off his hands and feet on the spot, gouged out his mouth and nose, and tortured him to death!"

The little thief said in a panic: "I have been a bandit in the mountains for the past few years. I am hiding there because I am afraid of being caught for stealing things!"

Guan Lao waved his hands: "I don't blame you, I remember the bandit leader at that time was called Big Eagle!"

The thief's face froze. He looked at Lin Yiwan cautiously and said, "That was the village chief who died under Zhan Yihou's sword that night!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "This evil thief deserves to die!"

Guan Lao also echoed: "Yes, they all deserve to die. Madam Hou is very wise and has eliminated harm for the people of Shicheng. I admire her very much!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but blush, she couldn't stand being praised.

Mr. Guan didn't delay any longer and asked Mr. Guan to take out the fire starter immediately.

Brother Guan couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Grandfather, didn't they say that there's white phosphorus powder all around? It can spontaneously combust without any fire. If you use a tinder, won't the fire be even more intense?"

Guan Lao frowned and interrupted, "What do you know? I set up this mechanism. Don't I know how to destroy this white phosphorus powder?"

Brother Guan didn't dare to say anything and had to hand the tinder to him.

Mr. Guan ordered everyone to retreat, and after lighting a fire stick, he threw it directly into the air.

A strange scene appeared in an instant. Red flames appeared in the air, like red clouds, extremely magnificent.

Lin Yiwan was stunned. She could never imagine that the way to break the deadlock was to throw out a burning fire stick.

Guan Lao explained, "Once the white phosphorus powder is fully burned, it won't spontaneously combust without fire. However, once the flames are out, we need to open the stone door as soon as possible. Otherwise, the white phosphorus powder will quickly fill the surrounding area. This is controlled by a mechanism inside!"

Lin Yiwan understood what he meant, so after the flames disappeared, she immediately urged Fang Qingshan to quickly place the Heart Pendant on the stone gate.

Soon, a dull creaking sound was heard in everyone's ears, and then the stone door slowly opened, and rows of mahogany boxes were placed in front of everyone.

Mr. Guan first asked Mr. Guan to turn off the control mechanism, and then said, "That's all. The mahogany box is coated with a colorless and odorless poison. After it dissipates for a while, we can move it out!"

Old Madam Yin first took the list of belongings, which actually filled the entire mahogany box.

It is enough to see how huge a fortune this is.

Yin Yue couldn't stand the fatigue, so she asked her and Lin Yiwan to take the list and return first.

As for Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan, they stayed at the scene to move the things out.

Even though the Yin family had already given up their thoughts on the wealth in the forbidden area, they couldn't help but tear up when they saw the carriages pulling mahogany boxes out of the forbidden area.

Oh my God, how much is this?

There are so many mahogany boxes, row upon row, just looking at them makes one's heart tremble.

At this time, Yin Yihuan and her eldest brother Yin Yaomen were also standing in the crowd. He tightly grasped her arm and murmured, "How wonderful it would be if all this wealth could belong to our family?"

Yin Yihuan pinched him hard and said, "Stop dreaming. It's okay for you to just look at these things, but you still want to make plans. Do you think your head is too strong?"
