Night Seven was greatly surprised.

When did this group of people arrive at Xuanling Mountain?

Could it be that their destination wasn't the capital, but the imperial tombs?

"You will die today!" The man with the black mask revealed a fierce look in his eyes, and his attack became even more intense.

Night Seven showed no fear, each move aimed to kill.

At the entrance to the imperial mausoleum, the humanoid form of the black crow was severely injured and had no chance to fight back. It was quickly killed by Zhang Hengshui's men, leaving only two survivors.

The guard handed the black box that had fallen to the ground to Zhang Hengshui.

"General, this is what they stole."

Zhang Hengshui, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately felt a surge of excitement again.

He almost fainted when he saw the snake-mouth jade pattern carved on the box.

"This...this...it's all over, it's all over."

The Zhang family has a tradition of keeping vigil for generations, and some of these traditions have been secretly passed down.

Zhang Hengshui's father had instructed that there was a Nine Dragons Formation deep within the imperial tomb, with a treasure in the mouth of a giant dragon. If anything happened to this treasure, the imperial court must be notified immediately.

He had never seen the treasure.

But his father drew the pattern on the treasure box, and isn't that the one in his hand?

"Quickly, prepare the horses! I need to enter the palace!"

Ye Qi originally intended to capture someone alive, but unexpectedly, the group retreated at the last minute, and all the hidden weapons were aimed at him.

He could only wait to dodge and avoid them, but by the time he wanted to chase them again, they had already disappeared.

At this moment, the commander in charge of the perimeter ran over, his eyes filled with vigilance rather than gratitude.

"Brother, who are you, and why are you here at Xuanling Mountain?"

Ye Qi was preoccupied with Mo Yunhan in the mountains and said nothing, only saying, "Those who are besieging the imperial tombs are remnants of the Sui Dynasty. Report to the court immediately."

After saying that, he leaped away.

Seeing the direction he went, the commander was greatly alarmed.

"stop!"

In the blink of an eye, they were nowhere to be seen.

One of his guards whispered, "Sir, the token hanging on his waist looks like it belongs to the Ninth Prince's Mansion."

"The Ninth Prince's Mansion?"

The commander was startled and immediately went to chase after Zhang Hengshui to report the situation.

Meanwhile, in the underground chamber of Kunning Palace, the mysterious man was on the verge of death after being struck by lightning. Near his heart, a red, heart-like object was flashing red light, gradually restoring his almost charred skin.

"Damn it! Don't let me catch you!"

In the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Qingwan clapped her hands to finish perfectly.

Whoever it is, I'll chop him half to death to vent my anger.

This kind of underground mine is extremely powerful. Fortunately, she absorbed five pills today, otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to activate such a powerful formation.

She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead and looked at the two people who had been squatting beside her for a long time.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat meat."

Lian'er swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Miss, did you catch them?"

Jiang Qingwan looked at her suspiciously.

"What are you arresting?"

Li Dou raised his hand.

"Ghosts! Aren't people who jump rope all catching ghosts?"

Jiang Qingwan was so taken aback by his incredibly sincere and straightforward words that she almost vomited blood.

She is Yun Tianji, the most talented strategist in the Zhuge Clan, known as the number one diviner in the world; she is not a jump rope player.

Seeing that her expression was not right, Lian'er pulled down Li Dou's arm.

"If we didn't catch it this time, we'll definitely catch it next time. Miss is very capable. I'm going to stew the meat."

Li Dou nodded seriously, but held onto Lian'er's arm tightly.

"But I'm a little scared."

Lian'er looked at his huge size and trembled there, and couldn't help but roll her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Suddenly, the courtyard gate was pushed open forcefully.

The smell of blood instantly filled the air.

Li Dou and Lian'er screamed in fright.

"The ghost is here."

Jiang Qingwan frowned as she looked over.

Under the moonlight, the person coming was not visible.

All that could be seen was a hunched figure who staggered a couple of steps and fell to the ground, motionless.

But she knew it wasn't a ghost or any evil spirit.

He quickly stepped forward.

Although Lian'er was scared, she still dragged Li Dou along and followed.

"Miss, aren't you going to take the peach wood sword?"

When they were still a step away, the figure suddenly moved.

Lian'er and Li Dou huddled together again, trembling.

Jiang Qingwan, however, had already seen through the person.

"Manager Su? Lian'er, come and help him up."

Upon hearing that it was a person, I recognized them.

Lian'er quickly snapped out of her daze, slapped away Li Dou who was still clinging to her tightly, and ran over.

"Miss, there are two people, Li Dou, please help."

Li Dou was strong and lifted Xiao Wu, who was pinned down by Su Liuer, off the ground.

"Miss, he has fainted."

Su Liuer slumped on Lian'er's shoulder, barely able to speak.

"I'm so tired... I'm dizzy from exhaustion."

Jiang Qingwan asked Li Dou to take Xiao Wu to rest, and then she and Lian'er helped Su Liuer into her bedroom.

“You are badly injured, Lian’er. Go to Huichuntang and ask Doctor Zhong to come over.”

"yes!"

Lian'er put down the warm water and handkerchief in her hand, picked up the lantern, and hurriedly left.

Su Liuer leaned against the bedside, holding Jiang Qingwan's hand, and finally caught her breath.

"Go and tell the prince that the remnants of the Sui Dynasty have arrived at Xuanling Mountain."

Jiang Qingwan was stunned.

"You...you're one of Mo Yunhan's people?"

She thought Su Liuer was injured while searching for people according to her instructions, but she didn't expect there was another connection.

Su Liuer nodded.

"Huai Lou belongs to the prince."

Jiang Qingwan was at a loss for how to react.

Su Liuer urged her anxiously.

"You must go quickly! The Prince has been investigating this matter, so we must not delay."

Jiang Qingwan was unaware of what they had done, but the news that Su Liuer risked her life to bring back must be very important.
