"Are you Xianyang Tree?"
Ruan Qiqi was really shocked. She didn't expect to hear such authentic Xianyang dialect in the Sakura Country.
"It's from the Imperial Garden, planted by the Emperor himself!"
The old ginkgo tree spoke in a very proud tone, it is a noble ginkgo tree, the Japanese devils are not worthy of raising it!
"The emperor you are talking about is Qin Shi Huang?"
Ruan Qiqi used honorifics unconsciously. If this was really the tree brought by Xu Fu, then it could truly be an ancestor.
"nature!"
The old ginkgo tree shook its branches proudly. Apart from the First Emperor, who else was worthy of being called the Emperor?
"Hello, Ancestor Yin, I am so sorry for my disrespect!"
Ruan Qiqi became even more respectful and took out a branch of the Bagua Ginkgo from the space. This quite old Bagua Ginkgo looked particularly childlike in front of the tree ancestor, and its age was only a fraction of the ancestor's.
"Hello, ancestor. I am honored to meet you!"
The Bagua Ginkgo tree greets you respectfully, with its branches bent to represent a bow.
"You are very polite, little one. Stand up!"
The old ancestor sounded very happy. It had been in a foreign country for nearly two thousand years without even anyone to chat with. Spring flowers blossomed and autumn fruits ripened, year after year, time flew by, and it was so lonely that it almost forgot its hometown dialect. Fortunately, it waited for these little cubs.
With the guidance of the ancestor, Ruan Qiqi easily found Kikuno Masato's treasure house, and the ancestor also told her a secret.
"That bad guy is very cunning. He hid in two places. The treasures in the open are ordinary, and the real good things are hidden in the dark."
The ancestor has lived in the old house for more than a hundred years and knows it better than Kikuno Masato. The one in the open is the treasure house that Xia Tao mentioned.
The real good things are in the dark. There is an artificial lake behind the old house, which was dug by Kikuno Masato's grandfather. There is a rockery in the lake. There is a mechanism under the rockery that leads to a secret passage. Inside are treasures and wealth accumulated by the Kikuno family over hundreds of years.
The old ancestor also said some good news: "The worst person in this family is the little brat. He has the greatest ability, but he is out and not at home."
The little boy it was talking about was none other than Taro Kikuno.
Ruan Qiqi's eyes lit up. She was indeed the chosen heroine. Any day she picked was an auspicious day. Kikuno Taro was a mysterious man, and it would be best if she could avoid meeting him.
"Thank you, ancestor."
Ruan Qiqi gave some spiritual energy to the old ginkgo tree, and the old ancestor was so happy that the branches were shaking, and he made a great decision.
"Can I go with you? I want to go home."
The old ginkgo tree begged, it didn't want to stay in this shabby place anymore.
"Of course!"
Ruan Qiqi readily agreed.
The old ginkgo's huge body shook several times, and the ground cracked into countless cracks, revealing the tangled roots. Ruan Qiqi gave it a lot of spiritual energy to ensure that the old ginkgo's vitality was not lost.
With the active cooperation of the old ginkgo tree, the transplant went smoothly and it was moved into the space within a few minutes. The old ginkgo tree chose a place to take root, right next to the Bagua ginkgo tree. Next to it was a taciturn old camphor tree. The three trees kept it company.
The place where the old ginkgo tree was originally located has become a huge deep pit, like a huge eye, staring at the entire Kikuno family in the darkness.
Ruan Qiqi ignored the pit and ran towards the backyard. As expected, she saw the lake and the rockery. On the way, she met a patrol team, but with the cover of trees and space, she was not discovered.
The lake was not big and not particularly deep. She sneaked under the rockery and easily found the mechanism. After entering the secret passage, she quickly found the dark room. Perhaps the Kikuno family was very confident in the dark room they designed. There was no mechanism at the entrance of the dark room. Ruan Qiqi opened the iron door very smoothly.
The darkroom was about a hundred square meters in size, filled with boxes of all sizes. On the other side there was a mountain of gold bricks, shining so brightly that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
Ruan Qiqi didn't bother to check the things in the box. She put them all into the space, and the dark room immediately became empty.
After cleaning up the dark room, she immediately rushed to another treasure house. There were guards in all directions, but it was not a problem for her.
With Shushu's help, all the guarding ninjas were knocked down silently, and then taken into Ruan Qiqi's space to be used as a tonic for Old Ginkgo.
Moving at such an old age must have consumed a lot of energy. You need to eat more meat to replenish your energy.
"Thank you, I like meat!"
The happy voice of the old ginkgo tree came from the space. It did not eat alone, but shared the food with the gossip ginkgo and the old camphor tree. In a moment, a dozen corpses of the Japanese devils were turned into fertilizer and absorbed completely by the three trees.
There are quite a few treasures in the treasure pavilion, most of which are cultural relics from China, and some are from other small countries. There are dozens of Buddha heads. Ruan Qiqi collected them all into the space and would find a way to hand them over to the country later.
After collecting all the treasures, Ruan Qiqi went to find Lu Ye and Xia Tao, but no one knew where the two had gone to duel.
However, they agreed to use the fire as a signal. As long as Ruan Qiqi set the fire, Lu Ye and Xia Tao would also start setting the fire, and then gather at the gate.
Ruan Qiqi took out a large barrel of gasoline from the space and poured a lot of it in every corner of the treasure pavilion. After walking out, he struck a match and flicked it lightly. The match drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the treasure pavilion.
"boom"
The treasure pavilion instantly burst into flames and turned into a sea of fire.
The Kikuno family reacted quickly. In less than a minute, chaotic footsteps were heard and servants were carrying buckets of water and rushing to put out the fire.
"The treasure house is on fire, come and put it out!"
The servants screamed in panic, saying that this treasure house was the treasure of Kikuno Masato, and if it burned down, they would not be able to survive.
Ruan Qiqi, who was hiding in the tree, smiled triumphantly, left quietly, ran back to the study, and set another fire.
Soon after, fires broke out in the four corners of the old house. The blazing flames illuminated the night sky, and all the sleeping members of the Kikuno family were awakened, including Kikuno Masato.
While directing the servants to put out the fire, Masato Kikuno asked the butler to call the fire department to minimize the losses.
However, he was secretly glad that his grandfather had the foresight to hide the important treasures in the dark room. Even if the entire old house burned down, it would not harm the vitality of the Kikuno family.
"Where's Tomie?"
Masato Kikuno suddenly thought of his good-for-nothing eldest son. The fire had been burning for so long and everyone in the family had gotten up to put out the fire, but this good-for-nothing son didn't show up, and neither did his wife Keiko Sanada.
"I sent someone to call the eldest master and the young mistress, but there was no one in the bedroom." The butler replied.
Masato Kikuno frowned, feeling extremely uneasy. The fire tonight must have been started intentionally. Who dared to be so bold in Kyoto?
Unfortunately, everyone was busy putting out the fire and no one was available to catch the murderer. Kikuno Masato took a deep breath, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a lost voice, "Where's Chinatsu?"
I haven't seen Chinatsu until now. In one month, Chinatsu will marry into the Fukuyama family. Nothing must happen at this critical juncture.
Chinatsu, whom Kikuno Masato is thinking about, is being carried by Xia Tao at this time.
There were also his useless son and daughter-in-law, Xia Tao's biological parents, who were carried out by Lu Ye one by one.
