Chapter 423: The Capital Again

"Okay, but you can't lie to me, otherwise there's only one word: death!" Yue Fuli said calmly. It was obvious that these people had no lives on their hands, so it didn't matter if they spared their lives.

Upon hearing this, the leader immediately stared into Yue Fuli's eyes, trying to discern whether she was lying. However, he was disappointed. Yue Fuli's eyes were calm, and he could see nothing.

However, for the sake of his own life, he decided to take a gamble. After all, the master had only asked them to keep an eye on the people entering and leaving Baihua Valley, and hadn't asked them to do anything else.

"My master is from the capital, and seems to be the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"As if?" Yue Fuli frowned. She remembered that the previous carrier pigeon incident also involved the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now this person was from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Could it be that the Prime Minister also knew about the treasure of Baihua Valley?

It seems that she has to ask Lou Chenfeng carefully, from whom did he get his treasure map?

"When he first approached me, he only said he was from the capital. It was only when I saw his badge that I realized he was from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"So it seems that you are not their confidant."

"That's right. We are just their spies here. How could we be their confidants? If we were, we wouldn't cooperate with the people from Baihua Valley just because the money from there didn't arrive in time."

"Alright, since you're still honest, I can spare your people's lives. But you can't stay in this place."

"I know, I know, we will definitely go far."

"Oh, there's another question. How do the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion give you money?"

"Before, a caravan from the capital would come here every one or two months. But in the past six months, no one has come from there."

"Okay, I understand. You can go." Yue Fuli did not make things difficult for them because they were straightforward.

After those people left, Yue Fuli turned to look at Lou Chenfeng and asked, "From which master did you get that incomplete map?"

"Prime Minister Ye, what's wrong?"

"You just heard it. Those people are spies sent here by the Prime Minister's Mansion. If they sent a letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I guess someone from there will come soon."

"So, now we have to send someone to keep an eye on those people, firstly to see if they are being dishonest, and secondly to see who they send the letter to."

"Leave this to me." Lou Chenfeng has people outside and can gather them together with just one signal.

"Let my people go. Your people may not be here right now. By the time we gather them, the opportunity will be gone."

"That's fine." Lou Chenfeng didn't insist. But he still had to gather his people together, otherwise they would have no help when they found the treasure.

Yue Fuli didn't object. She brought her own people with her, so she couldn't leave Lou Chenfeng alone, right?

The signal flare revealed that Lou Chenfeng's men were arriving soon. Therefore, they were arranged to stay in Baihua Valley, while Yue Yi and the others went to follow those who were previously released by Yue Fuli.

With someone guarding outside, Yue Fuli and Lou Chenfeng entered the dungeon again.

This time, neither of them brought anyone with them, partly for convenience and partly to reduce unnecessary sacrifices.

Because there were people guarding outside, the two of them had no worries and went straight into the passage.

The torch that was lit before was still burning, and the torch thrown down by Lou Chenfeng was still lying quietly on the ground.
