Chapter 133 General?
She touched the white tiger's head and signaled it to follow those people quietly and not to alert the enemy.
So she followed all the way and came to an extremely hidden cave.
Those people pushed aside the thick weeds and saw a faint glow of fire coming from the cave.
She tiptoed the big white tiger to the cave entrance. Although the white tiger was conspicuous, it was agile and did not make any noise.
The man and the tiger were listening outside. They heard the rustling sounds of the people inside. Seeing that they had to go back to pick up another box after packing up, she quickly carried the white tiger up the tree.
By the late night, the boxes had piled up at the door.
Those people were sweating profusely and complaining, "There's only one more trip left. Hurry up and finish the job. The general will send people to take it away tomorrow morning."
General?
Ruan Mian frowned, guessing that the group of people looked down on him.
"I don't know where Wu Heng's group of fugitives are hiding. We must not let them find us here, or we'll be dead!"
"Don't worry, what can those low-class people do? I heard there are quite a few women among those prisoners. If we have the chance to catch them, we will definitely have a good time!"
They laughed lewdly and turned back to carry the last box.
Ruan Mian's gaze turned cold.
As soon as they left, she brought Baihu down with her, pried open the wooden boxes, and found that they were all filled with valuables.
The cave was already full of them.
If they had continued at their previous pace, they would have found this treasure trove half a month ago.
Without telling anyone, he quietly dug up so many treasures.
Moreover, the treasures were not just the broken jade and copper coins, but also some gold, silver, jewelry, and broken stone murals.
There were even some things that Ruan Mian couldn't name.
Looking at these treasures, she immediately guessed that those people had bad intentions. They were either Lanqiang people or spies from their own country. Otherwise, they would not have gone to such great lengths to hide their tracks and steal the treasures for so long.
So Ruan Mian decisively put all the valuables in the box into the space.
But she was not in a hurry to leave, and just waited to see who the so-called general was.
After a long time, those people came back here carrying the last box.
But before they could even get comfortable, new faces suddenly showed up.
Ruan Mian hid among the leaves high up in the sky, and only saw a tall and strong man wearing Lanqiang armor coming here.
A man in a coarse linen shirt followed him respectfully.
Seeing them coming, those who were about to rest immediately stood up and bowed.
"Meet the General."
They looked surprised and asked, "General, why did you come here in person?"
Although the general remained silent, there was a strong aura of oppression beneath his pure black mask.
Ruan Mian adjusted the angles several times but still couldn't see what he looked like.
All I could see clearly was that the man in the coarse linen clothes was quite handsome, with strong arms.
The general, holding his sword, looked at the man and said, "Major General Han, we agreed that everything that comes out of the treasury will be divided equally between the prince and me."
"Come with me today and take a good look at how much has been excavated so that His Majesty can have a better idea of what has been done."
As soon as Ruan Mian heard the three words "Major General Han", a name immediately appeared in his mind.
Han Ling.
If it really was him, then it would prove that all my previous worries were true.
If General Huo sends anyone to support him, they will surely die.
By then, all Wu Heng's soldiers will be trapped in the trap of King Yan and the Lan Qiang Army.
She lowered her eyes and continued to listen calmly.
After the general said this, he told his subordinates to open the wooden boxes and said, "Let Major General Han take a look."
When they opened one of them, they were shocked to find that there was no treasure inside! Only a box of heavy and smelly soil.
The subordinate was shocked when he saw it and hurried to open another box.
However, no matter how many boxes he opened, all the original treasures inside disappeared.
He fell to his knees with a thud, shouting, "How could this happen!? General, General, spare me! This is impossible! This is impossible!"
At this time, the general's face turned pale. He opened all the boxes in disbelief. After confirming that there was no treasure, he drew his sword in anger and chopped off his subordinate's head with one blow.
The people behind him were trembling with fear, their faces pale.
"General, please spare me! We dug these treasures out ourselves. We handled every single one of them, and we personally carried them back after placing them in the boxes. They're absolutely genuine! There's no way they could be fake."
"Impossible? Could it be that this General and Major General Han are blind?!"
"I...I don't know why this happened! We've been the only ones handling these things since they were unearthed, and they're in this remote wilderness. Could it be...that there's a ghost out there?"
"Useless! If there's a ghost, it won't eat treasures, but your lives!"
"But I dare not lie, General! There are so many treasures. How could we, just a few people, have the guts to embezzle them?"
They were so afraid of being killed that they began to stutter.
Major General Han on the side thought for a while, looked at the general and spoke.
"There may be something else we don't know. Since they insist there's treasure, why don't they take us to where they're mining for it? We'll find out for sure."
Those people came to their senses, stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly led the way.
Seeing this, Ruan Mian mounted the big white tiger without hesitation.
"My dear, now it depends on how much faster you are than them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big white tiger whooshed out like an arrow.
Ruan Mian was so scared that she almost fell off the tiger's back, but fortunately she grabbed the tiger with both hands in time and managed to stabilize herself.
She only felt the sharp wind beside her ears, and she couldn't open her eyes because of the night wind.
The scene next to it also became a blurred background.
She simply closed her eyes and counted down the time.
Soon, the white tiger stopped.
When they opened their eyes again, they found that they had arrived at the place where the excavation was originally carried out.
This speed!!
It's like drag racing.
After arriving at that place, he walked down the tunnel they had dug and lit a fire, only to find that it was not the tomb he had imagined.
It's just something like a warehouse.
Before those people had finished digging, Ruan Mian searched the place thoroughly.
She had already confirmed that Prince Yan was colluding with the Lanqiang enemy forces.
If they succeed, the first ones to suffer will be the civilians living in Wuheng.
So when Han Ling and the others arrived here, they found that the entrance to the cave had been blocked.
They had a bad feeling and dug it out with great effort, but sure enough, there was nothing inside.
There are only some traces of treasures that have not been cleaned up.
At this moment, the general's face suddenly changed. These traces proved that there was indeed a treasure here, but now the treasure was missing. He would definitely not let those subordinates off.
Soon, screams of those people were heard from inside.
