Tsk tsk, she was just worrying about paying off her debts, a prescription costing 30 million, and this is like someone delivering a pillow just when she was about to doze off.
Having made up her mind, Lin Zhaozhao immediately discussed it with Xiao Teng. Xiao Teng would go and investigate first. If there was an opening, that would be best. If there wasn't, they would create one. She was determined to steal this treasure.
Just thinking about it makes Lin Zhaozhao's mouth water. Oh my god, how wonderful!
After agreeing on the plan, Xiao Teng concealed herself and began exploring outside the treasure vault. Lin Zhaozhao focused her mind on Xiao Teng and traversed the winding path. Outside, groups of people were patrolling. As one group left, another immediately took their place, ensuring a seamless handover.
Composing herself, Xiao Teng continued inside, where a group of people were drinking and eating meat, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Lin Zhaozhao looked at the perfectly braised pork knuckle and mutton, unconsciously swallowing her saliva. Her stomach rumbled, and Xiao Teng approached silently, pretending to be a weed.
"It will be difficult for the Crown Prince to make any significant achievements in Huichun." The burly man with a thick beard picked up a pork knuckle and took a bite, the juices spilling out. He mumbled as he spoke.
"It's just that the Crown Prince was unlucky enough to run into such a tough nut as Ning Shiwen."
“In the years since Ning Shiwen took office, he has been praised by everyone, and he is a rare and caring official in the eyes of the people and the emperor.”
"Compared to the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince is much smarter. He used the Emperor's suspicions to eliminate dissidents, and his political achievements are even more impressive."
"It's a pity for the Lingchun Yang family. They guarded the border and repelled the barbarians, but ended up handing over the tiger tally and being promoted in name only but demoted in reality."
"His achievements overshadowed those of his master; what a pity."
The Yang family of Lingchun?
This is probably related to Yang Yuan.
Seeing that the conversation was drifting further and further away, Lin Zhaozhao lost interest in listening to any more, so she left with Xiao Teng. While they were wandering around, Lin Zhaozhao managed to slip into the treasure vault.
In comparison, the Qin family's secret chamber is nothing but small fry, while the treasure vault is the real big fish.
Lin Zhaozhao stood there, stunned, staring at the room full of gold, silver, jewelry, medicinal herbs, jade, grain, and other valuables, her heart pounding.
It's out! It's out! Aww!
Lin Zhaozhao's eyes automatically turned into those of a money-grubber, and then she and Xiao Teng began to store the treasures in their spatial storage at an extremely fast pace, which could be described as plucking feathers from a passing goose.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhaozhao was panting heavily, her wrists aching. Seeing that the treasure vault, which had just been gleaming with golden light, had become ordinary, Lin Zhaozhao finally left, satisfied.
Stealthily and cautiously, until far from the treasure vault, Lin Zhaozhao threw her head back and laughed silently.
Plunder the treasure vault √
I wonder which unlucky guy got this treasure trove. Ning Shiwen could be it, or even the magistrate of Shou'an County could be it, hahaha.
Now she doesn't have to worry about the debt anymore. Hopefully, the system won't be the sixth one and cause her trouble again.
Wandering slowly in the darkness, Lin Zhaozhao's mouth watered at the thought of braised pork knuckle. She immediately took out beef jerky from her spatial storage and started chewing it dry. The jerky was firm and chewed until her cheeks ached.
As she was chewing, Xiao Teng rushed forward like a horse that had broken free of its reins. Lin Zhaozhao thought something had happened again, so she followed after him with the beef jerky still in her mouth. Before she could react, her hands were faster than her brain, and she had already rushed forward to fight with the person.
Back and forth, you retreat and I advance, in the darkness only the sound of fists striking the air and increasingly heavy breathing.
"Who are you?" Lin Zhaozhao asked, taking steady breaths and keeping her distance from the newcomer. Although she was wary, she felt a sense of exhilaration.
Her question went unanswered because someone had arrived from behind. Not wanting to get entangled, Lin Zhaozhao quickly left.
As they were about to disappear into the distance, the moon broke through the dark clouds, and pale moonlight fell. Lin Zhaozhao saw the man dressed in black, with a face covered in a thick beard. All she could see were his deep black eyes, which resembled a vast starry sea. Her heart trembled slightly, and a jolt of electricity, like goosebumps, ran through her heart. Lin Zhaozhao chewed the beef jerky hard, just as a cold wind blew by, making her shiver.
"Xiao Teng, you're going to have to take the blame for this today..."
Koto: ...
"Boss, we've discovered three treasure vaults. Two are heavily guarded with constant patrols, while one is almost undefended."
"Who was that who just fought the boss? How could they last so long?"
"It's too dark to see clearly."
"We will split into two groups, and meet up again after the mission is accomplished. Also, remember that we are bandits."
"Yes." Amidst laughter and banter, two groups of people slipped into the shadows. The man with a full beard paused in place, gazing intently in the direction Lin Zhaozhao had gone. After a long while, he composed himself, pursed his thin lips, and left.
"Damn it, damn it." Qin Yi had just returned when he saw the Qin mansion in complete disarray. Ignoring the terrible state of the mansion, Qin Yi hurriedly walked towards the secret room. He was already in a panic, and when he saw the completely ransacked secret room, he actually vomited blood.
"Young Master."
"Young Master."
"Lin Zhaozhao, you slut, you slut."
"Someone, quickly go and burn the plague-infected area."
"Damn Lin Zhaozhao, you stole my property! I'll make you pay with your blood!" Qin Yi wiped the blood from his lips, his face like a demon.
After giving instructions to his servants, Qin Yi hurriedly went to the Ning residence.
Unable to recall Qin Yi's exasperation, Lin Zhaozhao returned home laden with spoils, only to find the epidemic zone engulfed in flames. The entire West Market was illuminated by fire, waking people from their sleep, yet no one came to put out the fire.
Lin Zhaozhao stood on the outside, watching the flames engulf the building. She calmly sensed the presence of the Lin family members and, knowing they were unharmed, quickly followed them.
Huichun City Gate
"Why hasn't Zhaozhao come back yet? Could something have happened to her?" Li Xiujuan was extremely anxious, but Lin Fusheng gently reassured her, "Zhaozhao is just a little late, nothing will happen to her. Besides, Li Jue went to look for her."
"Yes, yes, look at my memory." Li Xiujuan's anxiety turned into joy, and she reached out to wipe away tears.
Tonight was extremely dangerous for Li Xiujuan and her group. After Lin Zhaozhao gave them instructions before leaving, they were prepared to stay up all night. However, nothing happened during their vigilance, so they lowered their guard.
In just a short while, disaster struck. Matches were piled up everywhere, oil was spilled all over the floor, and they inhaled thick smoke. They tried to break down the door to escape, but the doors and windows were blocked. Just when they were at their wits' end, the door was kicked open, and they were rescued.
As the firelight illuminated her still-frightened state, Li Xiujuan heard someone call her "Mother." The voice was familiar and warm. In that instant, Li Xiujuan froze on the spot.
She never expected that her son-in-law, whom she thought had died on the battlefield, would be encountered again here and even save them.
"Mother." After meeting up with Li Xiujuan, Lin Zhaozhao first exchanged a subtle glance with Yang Yuan. After confirming that everything was in order, Lin Zhaozhao looked into the void and said, "Open the city gate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the city gate opened, and the people, who had been like frightened birds, immediately rushed out of the city gate with all their might.
It's no wonder they acted this way; their experiences in Huichun weren't good. They thought they could live a peaceful life, but they never expected to become disposable victims. Anyone would be afraid of this.
Soon, only the Lin family, the Li family, and Zhou Xiangfeng remained from the large group of people.
Zhou Xiangfeng bowed deeply in Lin Zhaozhao's direction, saying, "I will remember your kindness today. If you ever need my help in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"I've noted it down, and I hope it will be fulfilled when the time comes." Lin Zhaozhao smiled slightly, not taking Zhou Xiangfeng's words to heart. There are plenty of two-faced people in this world, who takes anyone seriously?
"Madam Lin, this is just a small gift, please forgive me." Lin Zhaozhao knew he was referring to the prescription.
"If you are used properly, it will be a blessing for the people. I hope you will remain true to your original aspirations and forge ahead." Lin Zhaozhao turned her back to Zhou Xiangfeng. "Until we meet again."
"Until we meet again." Zhou Xiangfeng's heart was filled with surging emotions as he stared blankly at the backs of Lin Zhaozhao and her group as they walked away. A certain heat flow transformed into molten lava, becoming the driving force that propelled him toward his goal.
As dawn broke and the sun pierced the darkness, Lin Zhaozhao led her group out of the city. A cold wind brushed her face, and Lin Zhaozhao remained expressionless, her mind preoccupied with where to go next, north or south.
After much deliberation, Lin Zhaozhao decisively chose to head south.
