Hua Changjue and his companions followed the secret passage, took several detours, fell into several traps, and finally arrived at the huge cave.
Look around.
All I saw were some men and women who had recently died.
The women, it was obvious at first glance, committed suicide after being raped, or were murdered.
The men died in a strange way. They were facing the bodies of the women. They were kneeling. Their heads were covered in blood. Their eyes were wide open in fear.
Hua Changjue and the others felt their backs shudder as they watched. They thought this scene was very strange.
Hua Changjue frowned, feeling that this had something to do with his youngest daughter, Hua Qingqing.
He didn't dare to stop here and continued to move forward. Hua Lingjian hurriedly followed him. He whispered.
"Don't worry, father! My little sister is gifted, and she will be fine!"
Hua Changjue nodded, but his steps became faster.
Yu Jinzhi saw the situation and knew that he was worried about the child. He left a few people here to investigate. The rest of the people followed.
Everyone hurried and finally arrived at the cave entrance. It was already bright outside.
After their eyes adjusted to the light outside, they looked around and found that this was an open space in the forest.
In addition to the messy wheel tracks and footprints on the ground, there is evidence that there were many carriages and horses here before.
There is nothing left.
Hua Changjue's face was as dark as ink, and his fingers were cracking.
The last punch hit the big tree next to him. The tree broke with a sound. You can imagine how angry he is now.
Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to breathe out.
He quietly asked Hua Lingjian beside him, but his eyes were looking at Hua Changjue.
"What do you think we should do next?" He was desperate and had no idea what to do.
He just found out that the King of the South had actually crossed the Linjiang River and arrived at their Dasheng Dynasty.
He had just fought a fierce battle with the Southern King's men. If Hua Changjue and his men had not arrived in time, he would have died here last night.
He also sent someone to deliver a letter to the old emperor, but he didn't know when it would arrive.
I guess by the time the old emperor received the letter and sent someone, it was too late.
"Follow the tire tracks!" Hua Changjue said coldly.
Yu Jinzhi nodded. This was probably the only way now.
Just as everyone was getting ready to set off.
Suddenly, a man in black with a black scarf on his face walked out from behind a big tree.
Hua Changjue and the others immediately became alert.
The man in black walked over calmly and bowed to Hua Changjue when he was about ten feet away from them.
"I followed the orders of my master and came here to wait for the Duke!"
Hua Changjue frowned and looked at the man in black opposite him. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"Who is your master?"
The man in black showed a badge.
Hua Changjue was stunned. It turned out to be Qiu Mobai's man.
By the way, this man in black is the follower following Qiu Mobai! His name seems to be Changying!
He quickly walked up to Changying and asked in a low voice.
"What did your master say?"
Hua Changjue knew that Qiu Mobai had some skills and had spies in all walks of life. His business was spread all over the country. He was considered to be well connected.
Maybe Qiu Mobai knew something and came to tell him.
Changying lowered his voice.
"Miss Hua Qingqing is with my master now."
Hua Changjue was startled and frowned.
"What the hell is going on? Why is he here?"
Changying briefly recounted what had happened.
They were actually following behind Hua Qingqing, but Qiu Mobai didn't let them show up, so they never showed up.
Just now, they also saw the signal left by the master. They understood that the master asked them to stay and explain the situation to Hua Changjue. It was probably because he didn't want the Duke to worry about Miss Hua.
"Our master will protect the young lady, so Duke Anguo can rest assured."
Hua Changjue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Changying thought about it and frowned.
I just saw something and wanted to remind the Duke.
"Speaking!"
"The Southern King's motorcade just now disguised itself as a motorcade of the escort agency! Now it is heading north."
"The leader in the front should be the master from your house in the past!"
Hua Changjue was stunned, "Who are you talking about?"
"Hua Changxiao!"
"You mean Hua Changxiao?"
Changying nodded.
Hua Changjue just breathed a sigh of relief and immediately pulled it up.
Asked anxiously.
"Since you are waiting here, you should have sent other people to follow the Southern King's convoy!"
Changying nodded.
"Then take us there!"
"Then we have to go to town and buy some horses! We won't be able to keep up on foot."
Everyone hurried back to town to buy horses.
…
After walking for less than a quarter of an hour in the secret passage built by the old lady of the Jiang family, they entered a very large room.
Hua Lingyi lit the candle.
Everyone could see clearly that the room was filled with boxes of all sizes, filled with gold and silver.
There are also many treasure pavilions, which are filled with various gemstones, jade articles, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
The gemstones and jades were all clean, but the antiques and calligraphy and paintings were covered with dust. I guess the owner didn't like antiques and calligraphy and paintings.
Jiang was also surprised to find that among these things, there were many items of her dowry.
Hua Lingyi looked through it curiously, but soon lost interest.
Just ready to throw the things aside.
Hua Lingxuan was suddenly stunned.
Grab Hua Lingyi's hand.
"Wait a minute, second brother! What's that in your hand?"
Hua Lingyi was stunned.
Raise your hands.
"It's just a piece of rag!"
Hua Lingxuan took it and frowned.
"It's not a rag, it looks like a map!"
Hua Lingyi blinked his eyes. "Is it a map? Where is the map? How can the Wang family have such a thing?"
Hua Wanru also came over curiously to take a look. After taking a look, she looked at Liu in surprise.
"Mother, this map seems to be connected to the one in your hand!"
Liu was stunned for a moment, then walked over to take a look. Jiang also came over.
“It seems to be true!”
Jiang was puzzled!
"Sister, do you know this thing?"
Liu shook her head and explained in a low voice, "My father-in-law gave it to me when I married into the Li family! He told me to keep it carefully! So I have been holding on to it ever since!"
"Later, my home was gone! I kept it with me all the time. As a reminder."
Jiang nodded.
Hua Lingxuan's fingers gently brushed across the mountains and rivers above, and he didn't remember.
"I think I'm familiar with all kinds of books and have studied maps of various places! But I've never seen this place before!"
Hua Wanru frowned.
"Brother, this picture you mentioned, my grandfather asked my mother to keep it! It was considered to be cautious!"
“And now I found half of it here!”
"Do you think there might be some secret hidden here?"
Hua Lingyi raised his eyebrows, "Fourth sister, do you mean this is a treasure map?"
Hua Wanru nodded.
"And I feel like there should be more than just these two, there should be more!"
