"Then follow me." The little squirrel flashed out of the space and took her to find the location of the vault.

Xie Jinglan followed it and came to a large house that was still burning.

"Lan'er, have you found anything?" Beitang Yuan followed her.

"The little squirrel said that Zhan Zhang hid an underground vault under this house," Xie Jinglan told him. "We'll dig the contents out and hand them over to His Majesty to add to the national treasury."

Emperor Mingkun used the whole country's strength to help her avenge her parents, and also offended Luofeng Kingdom. Therefore, the two countries are very likely to go to war again. She also has to repay the emperor and fill the national treasury.

"Okay." Beitang Yuan looked at the house, which was still on fire, and said, "Why don't we wait until the fire dies down before digging."

Xie Jinglan looked around and said, "No need to wait, there's a well outside. Let's get someone to put out the fire right away."

The houses of wealthy families like the Zhan Mansion are made of the strongest and best wood materials. It would probably take a day and a night for the fire to burn out on its own, and they have no time to waste here.

"Then let someone put out the fire." Beitang Yuan glanced at He Changsong behind him.

"Yes!" He Changsong responded and went downstairs to find someone.

With strength in numbers, they put out the fire in the house in more than half an hour.

The little squirrel helped find the location, and Hu Xiu led his men to start digging the entrance to the secret passage.

The entrance to the secret passage collapsed due to the explosion, and it took a group of people nearly an hour to dig it open.

The little squirrel had already gone in to investigate. There were originally mechanisms in this underground vault, but they were destroyed by the explosion.

Xie Jinglan and Beitang Yuan went down and saw that the secret room was built very solidly. It was surrounded by large bluestones. Even though the cannon was so powerful, they were not blown up.

If the little squirrel hadn't known this place long ago, they wouldn't have been able to find it.

All the things in the secret room were placed in boxes and locked one by one. I guess many of them had just been moved here.

"Clang!" Beitang Yuan cut off a lock with a sword, opened the lid, and saw that it was filled with gold ingots.

"I won't read it anymore. I've collected everything." Xie Jinglan raised her hands and thought, "Collect! Collect! Collect!"

After finishing the affairs of the Zhan family, it was already 3 p.m.

They returned to the Xiao family, and the master and everyone were discussing things in the front hall.

The main issue is whether the Xiao family stays or goes.

The Xiao family did not listen to Mu Wenye's words and insisted on joining forces with Yuyong Kingdom to encircle and kill the Zhan family. This was considered a betrayal of the court of Luofeng Kingdom, and they could no longer stay in Mincheng.

Now, their only place to go is Yuyong Kingdom and Linggun Mountain.

However, with the current strength of the Xiao family, they were unable to fight against the Shura Sect and the Kunlun Sect, so they decided to go to Linggun Mountain first.

How easy is it for a large family to move? They have to abandon their homes, shops, farms, and everything else, and can only take their belongings with them.

But compared to their lives, this is already good enough.

Zhongli Xiao decided to stay here for another five days and let the Xiao family pack up their things so that they could return to Linggun Mountain together.

Xie Jinglan and Beitang Yuan also stayed together.

On the night when the Zhan family was destroyed, Mu Wenye transferred the soldiers outside the city. Before leaving, he left a message for Beitang Yuan, saying that their Luofeng Kingdom would not let it go like this.

Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan didn't take what he said to heart at all.

Knowing that they have such powerful weapons, if you still want to send troops to attack Yuyong Kingdom, you are simply seeking death!

In the past few days, Beitang Yuan has been very busy, sending secret letters to various countries and mobilizing all his connections to secretly inquire about the news of Shura Sect, Nether Palace, Kunlun Sect and others.

Xie Jinglan was also looking for the whereabouts of the Lin family, but the little bee that was following Lin Ruyan had not returned until now, and her scent could not be sensed.

"I heard that Master Mingxu has some real skills. If Lin Ruyan stays with him, the little bee might be in danger." said the little squirrel.

In the past few days, the little squirrel has been inquiring about news from the Cao and Cheng families, but he didn't see anything unusual. On the day the Zhan family was bombed, all those who came to mourn disappeared, and the world was calm.

Xie Jinglan was in a very bad mood. As long as her parents were not found, they would suffer torture. Those greedy people would even go to greater lengths to draw their mother's blood to make medicine.

Thinking of this, she and Xie Wanying felt very uncomfortable.

"Grandma, don't worry too much. We will definitely be able to rescue father and mother." Xie Jinglan looked at her grandmother's haggard face and red eyes in the past few days, knowing that she was suffering from great pain in her heart.

"I'm fine..." Xie Wanying looked up at the window and saw the tall white figure walking in, with a hint of unnaturalness on her expression.

Xie Jinglan also saw the person who came. He was already in his fifties, but the years did not seem to have left too many obvious marks on him. His figure was still as graceful as ever, his face was handsome and flawless, and he exuded an innate dignity and elegant high-end temperament.

If such a perfect man were young, I wonder how many women would have been charmed by him.

No wonder he became the number one young master in the world at that time. Even if he just stood there quietly, he was enough to attract everyone's attention and amazed the time.

"Grandma, I think you should have a good talk with the Second Elder."

Although my grandmother did not admit it, judging from Lin Yuansheng's words and my grandmother's reaction, my father is very likely the biological son of the second elder Zong Zhengyi.

I don't know what happened back then. They even had a child, so why didn't they stay together?

At this time, Zong Zhengyi had already walked in.

"Second Elder." Xie Jinglan stood up and bowed to him.

"Yeah." Zong Zhengyi looked at her with a softer look than before. He glanced at Xie Wanying inside and said, "I want to talk to your grandmother for a while."

"Yes!" Xie Jinglan responded and walked out.

The second elder is still unmarried, and judging from the way he looks at my grandmother, he must still have her in his heart.

Now my grandmother has divorced Lin Yuansheng. If they still have feelings for each other, they can actually rekindle their relationship.

"Just say whatever you want to say!" Xie Wanying still looked out the window.

Zong Zhengyi walked closer and looked at her face. "Wanying, why didn't you tell me that Xie Feng is my son?"

"What's the use of telling you? What can you change?" Xie Wanying asked him expressionlessly.

"I..." Zong Zhengyi's face turned slightly pale, his eyes filled with guilt, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you suffer for so many years!

But you shouldn't have concealed the fact that you were pregnant with my child. If I knew, I would never let Lin Yuansheng enter the Xie family."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, Zong Zhengyi. You are not wrong. It's all fate." Xie Wanying shook her head and smiled bitterly.
