Lu Yanzheng, accompanied by more than a dozen personal guards and his deputy Zhao Qi, disembarked alone in a small boat.

“Your Highness, we have arrived ahead of schedule. I thought you should wait on the ship for General Qin and the others to join us,” Zhao Qi said, after hesitating the whole way.

The prince's safety is of paramount importance right now, how can he, as the deputy general, be negligent?

But once the prince has made a decision, they can't easily change it, so he's really in a difficult position!

Lu Yanzheng said calmly, "It's alright, let's go check on Xiao Hu's situation first."

He had already received a message from Xiao Hu, informing him that they had obtained Su Ziyu's treasure. That's why Lu Yanzheng couldn't wait to meet the An brothers.

According to the An brothers, the money that the current prime minister, Su Ziyu, had embezzled was all hidden on a small island. The brothers obtained the treasure map by chance and knew where the treasure was. Seeing that Lu Yanzheng was so concerned about the people, they wanted to give Lu Yanzheng the clues to the treasure.

At the time, Lu Yanzheng was not particularly convinced, but later, because of the familiarity An Er gave him, he decided to give the two brothers a try and let them lead the team to find the treasure.

Unexpectedly, they actually brought the treasure back and were willing to hand it over to him without reservation.

This approach feels so familiar.

Lu Yanzheng quickened his pace again, and the others quickly followed. Before long, the group arrived at Xiao Rui's place.

"Who goes there?" Xiao Hu was very alert. Upon hearing the noise, he immediately stuffed the dried meat in his hand into his pocket, took out the knife tucked into his waistband, and assumed a fighting stance.

Zhao Qi hurried forward and said with a smile, "It's me, Your Highness. Why don't you all come forward and pay your respects?"

Sure enough, the next moment, Lu Yanzheng's face came into view.

Xiao Hu quickly sheathed his sword, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Lu Yanzheng with clasped hands, saying, "Your subordinate greets Your Highness!"

The others naturally followed suit, but Xiao Rui and An Shiqi's actions and tone were clearly different from Xiao Hu and the others.

Lu Yanzheng's gaze fell on Xiao Rui. He first said, "No need for formalities," and after everyone stood up, he stared into Xiao Rui's eyes and said, "I heard you obtained the Su family's treasure?"
