Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Jiang Ningwan immediately became defensive.

The waiter immediately took out his token and said, "I am from the Zhenxi Army, a subordinate of General Yan."

Jiang Ningwan was startled, and after letting down her guard, she asked in confusion, "How did you recognize me?"

The waiter smiled and said, "To be honest, General Yan asked me to wait for you here. You are the only group of you who have appeared in Pengxi Town recently. I have been observing you for a long time."

Then the waiter said, "I have a letter here that General Yan asked me to give you. But to make sure it is correct, please show General Jiang the Lingwei Army token."

Jiang Ningwan was confused, so she showed her token and carefully looked around, fearing an ambush.

After confirming her identity, the clerk opened the cabinet with a key, took out a letter and handed it to her.

"This is what General Yan asked you to give it to me."

Jiang Ningwan took the letter doubtfully.

Is it such a tacit understanding?

She wrote a letter to Yan Yue, and Yan Yue actually left a letter for her as well?

strangeness.

How could Yan Yue know that she would pass by Pengxi Town.

The waiter held up the letter she had written to Yan Yue and asked, "Is General Jiang still sending this letter?"

"send."

Holding the letter, Jiang Ningwan returned to her residence first.

I have been riding horses for a long time recently and haven't had a good rest for a long time. As soon as I returned to the room, Jiang Ningwan lay down on the bed.

He opened the letter calmly.

"Ning Wan, I heard you left Kyoto to look for me. The northwest is dangerous, so be careful. We'll meet in Fengyuan City. Don't stay at the inn."

When Jiang Ningwan saw the content of the letter, just a few short sentences, her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she suddenly turned over and stood up.

I read the letter over and over again. This is... Qin Shuangchi's handwriting!

See you in Fengyuan City...

Jiang Ningwan excitedly unfolded the map and confirmed it.

Her destination this time is Fengyuan City!

This is too coincidental.

This letter was left to her through the Zhenxi Army. How did Qin Shuangchi know that she would pass through Pengxi?

After all, Pengxi is close to the west. If she goes directly to the north, her route will not pass through Pengxi at all.

She had many doubts, but this was definitely Qin Shuangchi's handwriting.

I felt like there seemed to be something in the envelope, so I shook it and a straw butterfly fell out.

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, picked up the butterfly, looked at it, and chuckled.

A trick to amuse children.

Jiang Ningwan put the butterfly in her arms, burned the letter, and returned to bed to rest.

The next morning, after getting enough rest, the team set out on their journey with all their might.

Heading towards Fengyuan City.

……

The team traveled all night long.

The distance to the agreed place is getting closer and closer.

Jiang Ningwan was becoming more and more excited, as she was about to meet Qin Shuangchi!

But when they arrived at Fengyuan City, they found something strange.

Crowds of people gathered inside and outside Fengyuan City, all dressed like merchants, but each of them carried a murderous aura.

The appearance of Jiang Ningwan and the others did not seem out of place.

Just passing through the streets of the city, everyone would look at them with different eyes wherever they passed.

If it weren't for the fact that these people have different temperaments and don't seem to know each other.

Jiang Ningwan really suspected that they were here to hunt them down.

No wonder Qin Shuangchi said not to stay in an inn. In the current situation in Fengyuan City, it is indeed not possible to stay in an inn.

Not only did she not dare to stay in the inn, she didn't even dare to stay in Fengyuan City.

After replenishing food and water, they immediately left Fengyuan City.

"It's so weird here. Who are those people?" Xiao Fuxue was confused.

Jiang Ningwan narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke softly:

"There are very few people in the city. Only a few shops are open. The people are silent and timid. It's obvious that this place was not like this before."

"These outsiders must have gathered here recently."

Yan Huixue said, "Some of them smelled like dirt and a bit of decay. They must be tomb robbers."

"Generally speaking, if they gather in one place, it means there is treasure nearby."

Jiang Ningwan nodded thoughtfully, "The people in this city are a mixed bunch. They've all gathered in Fengyuan City, so they must be here for the treasure."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, she also came for the treasure...

I hope they are not looking for the same treasure.

otherwise……

The sky turned gloomy and the cold wind was howling. It looked like it would not be a good day tonight.

"Let's find a place to settle down first."

Soon, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the snow became heavier and heavier, making the road ahead foggy and impossible to see clearly.

After searching for a long time, I finally saw a bright light in the wind and snow.

When they rode there on horseback, they found that it was a deserted temple.

At the door, a monk in a green robe with a white tinge was hanging lanterns.

Jiang Ningwan dismounted and took a look around the relatively spacious temple. She politely asked the monk, "It's snowing so heavily outside that we can't travel any further. Could we stay here for a night? I'd also appreciate some money for the incense offerings."

The monk put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, it's difficult to travel in the snow, please feel free to do as you please."

So everyone tied up their horses and entered the deserted temple one after another.

The deserted temple was a bit dilapidated, but it was kept clean inside. There were drafts on all sides, and the wind and snow were howling. Jiang Ningwan was shivering with cold.

Only after a fire was lit did the coldness finally dispel.

Outside the deserted temple, it was all white and nothing could be seen.

"There is water in the water tank next to it. You can use it as you please." The green-robed monk said politely.

"Thank you."

But they brought their own water and would not drink water from outside.

Seeing the monk take out half a steamed bun from the jar and eat it, Jiang Ningwan took out some dry food and handed it to him.

"I bought this from Fengyuan City today. It's clean."

The monk took it, clasped his hands together and nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Jiang Ningwan took the opportunity to ask, "I see a lot of people gathered in the city. Do you know what they are here for?"

The monk said calmly, "Treasure hunting."

"Treasure hunting? I haven't heard of any treasures near Fengyuan City. Is there a tomb?"

Monk: "I don't know. I only know that they are digging in the mountains."

“It started a month ago.”

Jiang Ningwan asked, "Did they dig anything out?"

"It seems there is gold, but I don't know the details."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart suddenly rose to her throat. Was he really digging for gold?

With so many people trying to dig out the gold mine, wouldn’t they end up fighting each other to the death?

What's more, she came here specifically to keep it secret. If the news about the gold mine gets out, she won't be able to keep it secret.

There was no way she would hand over the gold mine to that tyrant!

It seems I have to go up the mountain to explore tomorrow.

I just don’t know where Qin Shuangchi is, and I don’t know if he is in Fengyuan City now.

Jiang Ningwan took out the map of Fengyuan City, looked at the mountains around the map, and chose a place based on her intuition.

"Lushan..."

I'll go check it out here tomorrow.

But then the monk was startled, "You want to go to Lushan?"

"They've been digging in Lushan. They've set traps all over the mountain. Lately, people have been carried down the mountain with broken legs every day."

"Better not go."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Thank you for the reminder."

At first she didn't take it seriously, but before dawn the next day, she heard hurried footsteps outside.

Everyone immediately became alert.

The next moment, several bloody men came in carrying a man who had stepped on a trap.

"Monk, come and help! Save his legs!"

The monk hurried forward and took a look at the wound. The trap had nearly broken the bone. He shook his head regretfully, "I'm afraid this leg can't be saved."
