In her previous life, she had put in a lot of effort to track down the underground black market, and it took her a long time to find out that they were entrenched in Qingfeng Mountain.

Many people died in that battle.

Isn't it for this that the Lu family arranged Zhou Jingxuan to come in? Then give the credit to them and see if they can chew this tough bone.

Hearing this, Ren Tiankuo nodded thoughtfully, "I see, so do we still need to prepare to go to Qingfeng Mountain?"

"Get ready. If the emperor issues an order, we'll go."

I don’t know how long Qin Beihuang can last after going to Qingfeng Mountain.

I hope to receive news of his death soon.

……

Duke Jiang's Mansion.

Jiang Bingde walked into the yard with a sad face and a heavy heart.

Qi hurried over with a haggard face, full of expectations. But when she saw Jiang Bingde's lifeless appearance, she knew that her expectations were dashed.

"Can't Jiang Ningwan find the Boundless Holy Fruit?"

Jiang Bingde was silent, walking slowly forward with his hands behind his back.

This silence seemed to indicate that nothing was found.

"The Crown Prince has agreed. As long as Xiru's leg can be cured, he will marry her immediately and make her his Crown Princess!"

"My father used his connections in the martial arts world and finally found a miracle doctor to treat her leg. Now all he needs is the Endless Holy Fruit!"

"You don't want your daughter to be a cripple for the rest of her life, do you?"

Qi spoke earnestly, feeling extremely anxious, and followed Jiang Bingde all the way.

"Huichuntang can find the Tianshan Buddha Lotus, and maybe they'll also have news about the Wuya Holy Fruit. Just think of it as Xiru's sake, so go and give it a try!"

"You are her father, she won't really disown you."

"Those two from the Ling family cut off all ties with her, but now they're still in contact with her."

"Children are just joking around, don't take it seriously!"

I have tried everything recently but still can't find the Boundless Holy Fruit. Only Jiang Ningwan still has a glimmer of hope.

Jiang Bingde was a little annoyed by the nagging and said unhappily, "Enough! Do you think I don't want to find the Boundless Holy Fruit?"

"If there was a way, why would I be so sad?"

Not to mention mentioning the Boundless Holy Fruit to Jiang Ningwan, even for the father and daughter to have a calm and peaceful talk was a luxury.

Jiang Ningwan didn't want to pay any attention to him.

The relationship between father and daughter is already so strained. If you mention the Boundless Holy Fruit at this time, wouldn’t it hurt Jiang Ningwan’s feelings again?

Qi's eyes were red with sadness, "I was anxious."

"I have no other choice..."

"Xiru is my only daughter!"

Jiang Bingde looked solemn and sighed, "I'll find another way."

"If that doesn't work, try asking around on the black market."

"I heard there's a Fengyu Pavilion on the black market. As long as you have money, you can buy any information. I'm going to try my luck and see if I can get any information about the Wuya Holy Fruit."

……

A few days later, Jinghong Pavilion.

The black-clad guard handed over a booklet, "Master, there's news that someone on the black market is paying a large sum of money to buy the Boundless Holy Fruit."

"Who is it?"

"Duke Jiang Bingde of Jiang."

Shen Lianyi's eyes flashed, "Jiang Ningwan's father?"

"Yes! Do we sell this information?"

Shen Lianyi slowly put down the teacup, "As long as the money is enough, what business can't be done?"

……

It had been more than ten days since Qin Beihuang set out.

That day, there was finally news.

Qin Beihuang was trapped in Qingfeng Mountain and his life or death was unknown.

The local authorities reported that a bloody battle had taken place in Qingfeng Mountain. Qin Beihuang led his men into the mountain and never came out again. The local authorities were short of manpower and did not dare to approach to search.

Jiang Ningwan was not surprised to hear the news.

It’s a pity that Lu Qingheng has lost his official position, otherwise he would have gone to Qingfeng Mountain with Qin Beihuang.

At this moment, Lu Qingheng of the Lu family was struck by lightning when he heard the news.

"Unknown whether he is dead or alive? How could that be? Aren't there only three to five hundred people in Qingfeng Mountain? How difficult is it to deal with tomb robbers?" Lu Qingheng's voice was choked with sobs and he was extremely anxious.

Lu Lingsong frowned, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "I'll go find out, maybe he's still alive."

"The bandits in Qingfeng Mountain must be eliminated. I will go to the palace to request permission!"

Lu Qingheng's eyes were filled with panic and he felt extremely uneasy.

In Prince Yi's Mansion, when Princess Yi heard the news, she felt like the sky had fallen and fainted on the spot.

The emperor also immediately summoned all officials to discuss the matter and decided that the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain must be eliminated!

Jiang Ningwan was still immersed in the joy of Qin Beihuang's accident when suddenly someone from Jinghong Pavilion came to deliver a letter.

The letter read: I have found what you are looking for.

Jiang Ningwan was shocked and overjoyed. Today was really a double blessing.

People from the palace were rushing to the Prince of Chu's mansion to summon him. Jiang Ningwan saw them from afar and immediately rode away through the back door.

Nothing is more important than what happens in Jinghong Pavilion!

I rushed to Jinghong Pavilion anxiously, and found Shen Lanyi playing the piano by the window.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't wait to ask, "Did you find the Boundless Holy Fruit?"

Shen Lianyi nodded slightly, and there was a hint of sadness in the faint sound of the piano.

"He has already been sent to Daning State and is on his way back to Kyoto."

Jiang Ningwan was overjoyed, "Where are you? I'll pick you up!"

It’s safer to go and pick up such an important thing in person!

But Shen Lianyi's next words struck her like lightning.

"Gone."

"They were kidnapped by bandits from Qingfeng Mountain."

Jiang Ningwan's mind buzzed. "What? Qingfeng Mountain? You didn't lie to me?"

Shen Lianyi slowly stopped and turned to look at her, "I'm not lying to you. The Boundless Holy Fruit was hidden in a caravan transporting medicinal herbs. When they passed through Qingfeng Mountain, they paid a toll."

"But I didn't expect that two days after we left Qingfeng Mountain, they caught up with us and stole all the herbs."

"They say there's been a large-scale battle in the mountains, with heavy casualties, and they're in urgent need of medicinal materials."

"The Boundless Holy Fruit was also inside, but they stole it."

"But they don't know that there is the Boundless Holy Fruit inside."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart sank.

The timing for Qin Beihuang to suppress the bandits was wrong.

If she had known that the Boundless Holy Fruit would pass by at this time, she would have postponed her plan for a few days.

"Is there any other useful information?" Jiang Ningwan asked.

Shen Lianyi shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't care about this batch of medicinal herbs. I can't afford to offend Qingfeng Mountain."

"If you want the Boundless Holy Fruit, you may have to find a way yourself."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jiang Ningwan.

On the paper is a crescent-shaped mechanism showing how to open it.

"The Boundless Holy Fruit is in the secret compartment of this patterned box."

"There are about a dozen boxes of medicinal herbs. The crescent pattern is inside the box. You need to find it yourself."

Jiang Ningwan wrote it down and threw the note on the table.

"Okay, I'll get it myself."

After leaving Jinghong Pavilion, she immediately entered the palace.

She must go to Qingfeng Mountain!

When she hurried into the palace and headed for the imperial study, she heard the emperor's voice: "No matter how many bandits there are in Qingfeng Mountain, they must be taken down in one fell swoop!"

"Who among you is willing to lead the troops?"

Lu Lingsong immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go and rescue Qin Beihuang!"

Jiang Ningwan's heart sank. Qin Beihuang is not dead yet?

But without caring about anything else, Jiang Ningwan immediately asked her father-in-law to go and inform.

"Your Majesty, General Jiang requests an audience."

"Let her in."

When Lu Lingsong saw Jiang Ningwan appear, his face turned very ugly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Qin Beihuang had an accident in Qingfeng Mountain. These tomb robbers are really rampant. I am willing to lead my men to flatten Qingfeng Mountain!"
