Ever since the incident came to light, Ji Minglou never came to Min Ningwan's place again, and did not allow his own children to come over.

Min Ningwan was not allowed to go out either.

The once bustling courtyard has become an invisible cage.

Min Ningwan sat quietly at home, copying a scroll of scriptures.

Suddenly, the curtain behind him moved.

The maidservant standing beside her closed her eyes and fell down.

Min Ningwan looked straight ahead, dipped the tip of his pen in ink, and continued copying the scriptures.

"Madam is so elegant."

A strange male voice sounded, and a dark shadow covered Min Ningwan's head.

Min Ningwan said: "It's too bright to block my view."

The strange man smiled faintly: "Madam, did you copy so many scriptures to help the dead souls? The spirits of Pavilion Master Lou and Madam Ru in heaven will probably feel very relieved."

Min Ningwan didn't respond.

The man laughed and said, "Come to think of it, Pavilion Master Lou and Madam Ru died so tragically, doesn't Madam Tai want to avenge them?"

Min Ningwan finally spoke: "Ru'er committed suicide, and Lou Bufan was killed by my son. Who do you want me to seek revenge on? Myself?"

The man smiled faintly, "Madam, you are wrong. Madam Ru gave birth to a son for the City Lord and was about to take the position of the City Lord's wife. If it weren't for the interference of the Hundred Flowers Palace, how could Madam Ru have died? Pavilion Master Lou would not have turned against Hall Master Ji. In the end, all this is the fault of the Hundred Flowers Palace."

Min Ningwan said calmly: "You came here just to tell me this?"

The man stared at Min Ningwan, not missing any expression on her face: "Lou Bufan did not take any jewelry with him when he left. He carried an empty box. I think those gold, silver and jewelry should be in your hands, Madam."

Min Ningwan said: "I don't understand what you are saying."

The man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if Madam doesn't acknowledge it. You can take the gold, silver and jewelry as the legacy left to you by Lou Bufan. But there is one other thing that the lord hopes you can hand over."

Min Ningwan paused and said, "First of all, I didn't take any gold, silver or jewelry from Lou Bufan. Secondly, I gave you everything you should give."

The man said, "The treasure map of Emperor Wu's tomb."

Min Ningwan asked calmly: "Isn't the treasure map in the hands of the city lord?"

The man said, "The treasure map that Lou Bufan gave to the city lord was fake. We searched the Qianji Pavilion, and the map was not there. Lou Bufan would not carry such an important thing with him. He must have had someone send it to you before he left."

Min Ningwan continued copying books.

The man's smile faded a little: "Madam, the treasure map of Emperor Wu's tomb is of no use to you. If you don't want your grandson to die for no reason in the City Lord's Mansion, I advise you to hand over the treasure map!"

Pop.

The ink from Min Ningwan's brush dripped onto the copied scriptures.

The man's smile deepened.

Min Ningwan placed the brush on the pen holder: "It's in the secret compartment behind you."

The man turned around and was greeted by a painting of a lotus pond set in the moonlight.

He lifted the painting and pressed the wall gently, and sure enough, a secret compartment appeared.

He took out the parchment scroll, unfolded it, and frowned, "Why is there only half a page?"

Min Ningwan met his gaze without dodging: "He only gave me half a photo."

The man looked at her suspiciously: "You know the consequences of betraying your master."

Min Ningwan said calmly, "My grandson is in your hands. Do I dare?"

The man looked at her deeply and put half of the treasure map into his arms: "Where is the medicine?"

Min Ningwan took out a small porcelain bottle from her wide sleeves: "This is the last bottle. After you finish this, you won't need any more."

After the man walked away, Min Ningwan's hand holding the brush finally began to tremble.

She took a few deep breaths and opened the eye-catching scripture on the table. The other half of the treasure map was pasted on the back cover.

"If I'm gone, this treasure map will be your last life-saving talisman. If the lord sends someone to look for you, remember to only hand over half of it."

Lou Bufan's words flashed through her mind, and she put the scripture back on the bookshelf.

Soon, she turned off the lights and went to bed.

It was not until the sound of even breathing came from the bed that Chu Feifeng, who was lying on the roof, slowly exhaled.

She maintained this posture for nearly two hours, and her whole body became stiff.

After Lou Bufan's death, Min Ningwan seemed to have gone silent as well, and for many days she hadn't been able to find out any useful information.

Fortunately, tonight’s surveillance was not in vain.

But who is that bottle of medicine for? What does it mean that after taking it, it is no longer needed?

Chu Feifeng couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

She jumped down lightly, her nightgown almost blending into the night.

Then she gently pried open the window, sneaked into the house, found the scripture and put it in her arms.

The scriptures must be delivered tonight, otherwise it will be too late when Min Ningwan wakes up tomorrow morning.

But Tianyu Hall is heavily guarded. If you go out in the middle of the night...

Chu Feifeng didn't think he had the same lightness skills as the man just now.

But there's no better time.

Even if she put the scriptures back tonight, she would still have to sneak them out in the middle of the night next time.

With a gleam of determination in her eyes, she headed towards the back door.

"Who?"

The disciples of Tianyutang discovered her.

Chu Feifeng shot out a short knife, which quickly flew over the courtyard wall.

"He's going that way! Chase him!"

The disciple also jumped out and chased after him without stopping.

Chu Feifeng used his Qinggong skills to the extreme and escaped into a gambling house.

There are many people and eyes here.

When she came out, she had taken off her nightgown, changed into women's clothes, and had a big pillow in her belly.

She walked down the street with her belly bulging.

The disciples of Tianyutang chased out.

"Where is she? I just saw her enter the gambling house! Did she escape out the front door again?"

"Impossible. There are several brothers guarding the front door, and the side door is also guarded."

"You guys go look over there, the rest of you follow me! We must catch this assassin!"

The disciples of Tianyutang passed by her.

It has not yet left the sphere of influence of Tianyutang.

Chu Feifeng did not dare to take it lightly.

Suddenly, she was stopped by several disciples of Tianyu Hall.

One of them blocked her way with a ring-handled sword: "Wait."

The disciple looked Chu Feifeng up and down: "Why do I feel that you look familiar?"

Chu Feifeng lowered her head with a timid look: "Don't talk nonsense, hero. If my man hears it, he will attack me again."

"Your man beat you?"

The Tianyutang disciples frowned.

Why did you ask about a sense of justice... Chu Feifeng pretended to be panicked and said, "No, no!"

She lowered her head, looking as if she had to avoid suspicion, and walked past the Tianyutang disciple.

"Stop! Who is your man?"

The disciple called her again.

Chu Feifeng secretly regretted it and would not have said that if he had known earlier.

She whispered, "It's just a family matter. Don't worry about it. He just can't stand me talking to other men. He treats me very well on weekdays."

The disciple said, "Take me to see him."

Chu Feifeng: “……!!”

Are you guys so free? Are you going to catch the assassin?

The disciple looked at Chu Feifeng strangely: "I still feel like I've seen you somewhere before. Raise your head and let me take a look."

"Father or grandmother! A pot of wine costs two taels of silver, why don't you go and rob it!"

Lu Aotian's roar was heard from the tavern in front.

Chu Feifeng suddenly had an idea: "Boss!"

Lu Aotian didn't realize that he was being called, and continued to quarrel with the shopkeeper with his hands on his hips: "What's wrong with me drinking your wine? Just because I drank it, you can ask for a sky-high price! Believe it or not, I will tear down your sign!

"Tianyutang? What's so great about Tianyutang? Even if Ji Minglou comes, I won't even acknowledge the wine money!"

"Boss!"

Chu Feifeng came behind him, "Boss!"

"Um?"

Lu Aotian turned around in confusion, "Wei..."

Chu Feifeng interrupted him and pointed at the Tianyutang disciples who were staring at him: "I really didn't talk to them just now, headmaster, don't be angry when you go back."

Lu Aotian looked at those people, then at Chu Feifeng, and asked in a low voice: "Boss...are you calling me?"

Chu Feifeng whispered, “I stole the Madam’s treasure, and they are catching me.”

Lu Aotian's body trembled! You dare to steal Ji Minglou's mother's treasure? Aren't you afraid that Ji Minglou will kill you? Speak of the devil, and Ji Minglou actually chased after him.

He was not worried about the theft in Min Ningwan's yard. In fact, Min Ningwan had not woken up yet.

But there were assassins entering and leaving Tianyu Hall, and they came from his mother's yard. His first reaction was whether there were still some of Lou Bufan's minions that had not been killed?

He and Lou Bufan are sworn enemies, and he will kill every one of his lackeys!

Even Sha Nu, if he hadn't hidden in Baihua Palace, would have been killed by him! Ji Minglou saw Lu Aotian.

Lu Aotian moved to the side and blocked Chu Feifeng behind him.

Ji Minglou frowned.

Lu Aotian shouted, "What are you looking at? As the head of Tianyu Hall, why are you staring at my woman?"

Ji Minglou glanced at the other person's exposed pregnant belly and looked away.

Lu Aotian didn't dare to move, and scolded his disciples, "Why don't you hurry up and bring the carriage over? How long are you going to make your Sect Master's wife wait?"

"Uh... yes! Yes!"

The trusted disciple hurried to the alley and pulled the tattered carriage over.

Lu Aotian protected Chu Feifeng and got on the carriage.

Ji Minglou didn't care about Lu Aotian's family affairs. No matter whether the other party was his mistress or his principal wife, it had nothing to do with him.

but……

As the carriage passed by, a rich sandalwood scent wafted out from the carriage.

Sandalwood, the incense that Min Ningwan often lights recently.

It's an assassin! Ji Minglou leaped up and quickly chased after Lu Aotian's carriage.

"Oh my god! Ji Minglou is coming after us! Madam Wei, hold on tight!"

Lu Aotian rushed out and snatched the reins from his trusted disciple: "Go!"

The carriage sped away!

Ji Minglou's expression turned cold. He jumped onto the roof, chased the carriage all the way, and took a shortcut at the third fork in the road to go around to the front.

He jumped down, knelt on one knee, and slapped the ground with his palm! Boom! The bluestone street cracked all the way to the end. As soon as the horse turned the corner, it was frightened and raised its front hooves, neighing in fear.

The horse was suddenly startled, and the carriage was thrown out heavily, and fell sideways to the ground with a clang.

Lu Aotian protected Chu Feifeng, his thigh was hit by the roof of the car, and his foot was stuck in the wheel.

Chu Feifeng's expression changed: "Master Lu!"

"Fuck you! I'm going to fight you!"

Lu Aotian tried to pull his foot out of the wheel, but his entire leg was smashed and he lost consciousness.

Ji Minglou walked towards the two of them step by step.

Chu Feifeng immediately stuffed the torn treasure map into Lu Aotian's arms and put the scripture in her own arms.

Immediately she rushed towards Ji Minglou.

But she was no match for Ji Minglou, who knocked her to the ground with just one palm.

She arched her body and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Aotian smashed the wheel with his fist: "Ji Minglou, come at me if you dare! What's the point of bullying a woman?"

But his legs still couldn't move! Grandpa and grandma! Lu Aotian sat on the ground, lifted up half of the carriage, and smashed it hard at Ji Minglou.

Ji Minglou broke it with one palm.

The sawdust splashed all over Chu Feifeng's face.

Chu Feifeng suddenly shot a sleeve arrow at Ji Minglou! Ji Minglou caught it easily, turned his fingertips, and shot the sleeve arrow back at Chu Feifeng!

Chu Feifeng looked palely at the sleeve arrow that was rushing towards him.

Too fast... She couldn't dodge...

Chu Feifeng closed his eyes.

The sleeve arrow shot directly between the eyebrows!

Swoosh! A powerful hand grasped the sleeve arrow, half an inch away from her forehead.
