The Crown Princess is busy fishing

The two people on the other side were completely unaware that their scheme was about to be exposed.

Following Lin Qingzhou's directions, the boat was steered to a spot on the sea.

Lin Yuge noticed that there were a few small islands scattered around, and immediately thought this place was quite nice.

She excitedly said to Lin Qingzhou, "Brother, look how wonderful this place is! There might be plenty of fish around these islands."

Lin Qingzhou nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I've heard Uncle Youcai mention this area before."

"It seems like the catch is quite good, let's try it here."

The two quickly began preparing fishing gear and slowly lowered the fishing net into the sea.

Lin Yuge kept an eye on the surrounding seawater while operating the equipment.

She found that the water flow here was relatively calm.

The seawater was also quite clear, which made me even more hopeful for a good harvest.

After waiting for a while, they began to close the net.

As the fishing net gradually surfaced.

Lin Yuge saw many fish jumping in the net and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Big brother, it seems we've really found the right place!" she exclaimed happily.

The two cast their nets twice more, and caught quite a few fish.

After working for half a day, Lin Qingzhou suggested taking a short break.

"Little sister, let's go to that island over there to rest for a while, and then we'll continue working later."

Lin Yuge nodded in agreement.

They steered the boat to the nearest small island and found a suitable place to dock.

Upon reaching the island, Lin Yuge took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air.

"Little sister, do you think there might be some treasure on this island?" Lin Qingzhou asked jokingly as she walked around the island.

Lin Yuge shook her head, interrupting his reverie.

"Brother, stop daydreaming."

"Let's rest first, and then catch more fish later."

Thinking that he would be busy again later, Lin Qingzhou stopped talking.

The two leaned against the shadow of the cliff, closing their eyes to rest.

Suddenly, a noisy commotion broke out.

"Damn it, these soldiers are insane! They're not giving me any way out!"

"Hurry up, be quick and efficient."

The brother and sister exchanged a glance and quickly got up to look over.

On the other side of the island, you could see...

A group of people dressed in tattered clothes and with fierce faces were hurriedly carrying some boxes onto the island.

They looked flustered and kept glancing around.

He was also holding various weapons in his hands.

Lin Yuge was startled and quickly shrank back.

With an incredulous look on his face, he whispered to Lin Qingzhou, "Brother, what kind of luck do we have? How could we run into this?"

Lin Qingzhou was both nervous and excited.

She replied softly, "Little sister, these people don't look like nice guys."

"Let's not make any sudden moves, let's see how things go first."

The two quietly hid to the side, observing the actions of those people.

The men quickly carried the boxes onto the island and headed deeper into the island.

They moved through the dense forest, seemingly quite familiar with the terrain.

"Little sister, come on, let's follow them and see if there really is any treasure."

Before Lin Yuge could stop him, he had already quietly followed.

Helpless, I could only cautiously follow behind.

The two kept their bodies low to the ground, using the trees and bushes for cover.

Avoid making any noise.

Those people walked briskly, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones.

But the voice was very low, and Lin Yuge and the others couldn't hear it clearly.

After walking for a while, the group arrived at a cave.

The cave is located at the foot of a mountain wall and is surrounded by dense vegetation.

It's hard to spot if you don't look closely.

After they moved the boxes into the cave, they set up some camouflage at the entrance.

It seems they wanted to hide the existence of this cave.

After finishing these tasks, those people did not leave immediately.

Instead, they were talking in hushed tones near the cave.

Lin Yuge and Lin Qingzhou dared not get too close.

Only a few words could be vaguely heard.

"I'd better hide well this time, so those guys don't find me again..."

"We'll come back to collect it after things calm down..."

Lin Qingzhou was filled with curiosity.

He whispered to Lin Yuge, "Little sister, what do you think is in those boxes? They seem so nervous."

Lin Yuge frowned and said, "Whatever it's containing, it's definitely not something good."

"These people look like either pirates or fugitives, so it's best to be careful."

After those people finally left.

Lin Qingzhou couldn't resist wanting to see what was inside the box.

He said to Lin Yuge excitedly, "Little sister, they're gone. Let's go see what they were!"

"We might find some useful clues."

“If they really are bad people, we can also report this to the authorities.”

Lin Yuge hesitated for a moment, but seeing that her elder brother was in high spirits, she hesitated again.

Finally he nodded.

The two slowly approached the cave, carefully avoiding the traps and disguises set up by the people.

Upon entering the cave, they saw the boxes, each with a large padlock on it.

Lin Qingzhou circled the box several times, trying to find a way to open it.

Lin Yuge watched the cave entrance warily from the side.

He aimed his light crossbow at the cave entrance, just in case someone suddenly returned.

Lin Qingzhou finally found a stone, chose a box, and smashed the lock open.

Upon opening the box, the sight of it filled with gold and silver jewelry nearly blinded the two of them.

Both of them couldn't help but gasp.

Lin Yuge covered her mouth in surprise: "Big brother, so much treasure!"

Lin Qingzhou was also somewhat shocked, but quickly regained his composure.

"Little sister, don't get excited, let's look at the other boxes."

They opened several more chests, each filled with gold and silver treasures.

An alluring light shimmered in the dim cave.

Just as Lin Qingzhou was excitedly examining the treasures...

Lin Yuge also found an account book on the inside wall of a box.

Curious, she took out the ledger and opened it to examine it.

The ledger was filled with densely packed text and numbers.

There are also some strange symbols and markings.

Lin Yuge couldn't understand it, but she felt that this ledger was definitely not simple.

"Big brother, look at this."

She handed the ledger to Lin Qingzhou.

Lin Qingzhou leaned closer and carefully read a few pages.

"I can't quite understand the words on this. It seems to be some kind of record, but I don't know exactly what it is."

Lin Yuge frowned and said, "I feel that these records are not simple, and may be related to the origin of these treasures."

"We can't just take this treasure away like this; what if something goes wrong?"

Lin Qingzhou nodded. "Little sister, you're right. The origin of this treasure is unknown, so we have to handle it carefully."

“This ledger might be the key. Let’s take it back first and see if we can figure out what’s going on.”

After the two discussed it, they agreed on the plan.

They carefully put the ledgers away and then put the box back in its original state.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the woods.

Lin Yuge's expression changed, and she hurriedly said to Lin Qingzhou, "Brother, someone's coming! Let's go!"

The two quickly left before the people got too close.

They hadn't gone far.

Then I heard a commotion coming from behind.

"Boss, those soldiers are chasing us so relentlessly, it seems we really can't stay here anymore," one of his men said, panting heavily.

"Let's go back to the cave and hide first, pack our things, and then we'll think of something," the leader replied.
