Chapter 76 I think I saw my ancestor
"But none of that girl's descendants have ever become outstanding. Later, they simply forgot about this matter, leaving only the map of the secret passage hidden in her ancestral home."
"That little girl only knew how to get inside the secret passage but didn't know the mechanism to open it, so..."
“Who is it?!”
Mo Bao and Bi'er flew quickly towards the entrance of the ruined temple. A dagger and a soft sword were placed on someone's neck. At the same time, a black flower was hovering above his head, as if it was about to fall.
"No, no, it's me~it's me~it's me, Bao'er, the little genius doctor Jin."
"Are all of you with internal energy so powerful? You can feel me from such a distance. How about... you teach me later? I'm suddenly interested in martial arts now."
"Hey, I've been really regretting lately that I didn't learn martial arts even though my father beat me to death. So, is it too late for me to learn now?"
Mo Bao carefully identified the dirty man in front of him and asked uncertainly, "Jin Congcong? Why is it you?"
Jin Congcong carefully pulled away the weapons that the two men had placed on his neck: "Hey, why can't it be me? It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
"I tried some medicinal food during the day today, and I couldn't sleep most of the night. I knew that the prince had been coming home late recently, so I wanted to see if Ruo'er was asleep. If she wasn't, I wanted to chat with her for a while."
"As soon as I reached the gate, I saw Ruo'er and the others climbing over the wall. How could I not follow them?"
"I finally found a ladder and climbed up the wall... I'm telling you, Bao'er, the wall doesn't look high, but it's actually quite high once you get to the top. My legs gave out and I fell. This guy threw me so hard... I felt like I saw my great-grandfather."
"As soon as I recovered, I chased after them... Not only did I lose them, I even got lost. I'd been wandering around this shabby alley for ages when I heard a voice here and thought I'd come ask for directions. I didn't expect it to be you guys."
"Haha, God is really good to me."
Bu Ruo: ...
Beau: ...
Jin Congcong: ...
Jin Congcong put away the soft sword and didn't want to pay attention to him. He turned around and went back to the ruined temple to continue looking for the mechanism, but how could Jin Congcong let him go? He followed him and didn't give up.
"Hey? Don't go, Baoer. You haven't told me why you are here? Why didn't you call me if there was something fun? Where is the foursome we agreed on? Why did you leave me behind?"
Bu Ruo didn't want to pay attention to this chatterbox and just watched Bi'er and Jin Congcong looking for the mechanism.
Jin Congcong's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the three of them: "I know, there must be a treasure hidden here, right? You didn't tell me because you wanted to keep it all for yourself! No, I'll look for it too, and if you find it, you must give me a share."
"Don't mention that the news about Yanzhilou is really good. They even know where something is hidden. Ruo'er, is this your new development project? How come I don't know about it?"
Bier was really annoyed by someone. Just when she was about to say something, she saw her own lady standing there pinching her fingers. She then dragged Mo Bao back to Bu Ruo and waited quietly, ignoring the person who was still touching her everywhere.
About a cup of tea later...
"Miss, how is it? Did you figure out where it is?"
Bu Ruo didn't say anything. She looked in the direction of Jin Congcong and saw that he was tired of searching and sat down on a step leading to the small door at the back of the dilapidated temple. "I've been talking here for a long time, and you guys can't answer me. I'm so tired."
"Is there any treasure in here?"
As Jin Congcong was speaking, he moved towards the wall. There was a click... and with a scream, the person disappeared.
Bu Ruo smiled and pointed to the place where someone disappeared: "Look, isn't it right there?"
Beau: ...
Mo Bao: ...
The three of them walked over and saw that the brick wall, which had originally been seamless, had actually dented a part, and that part... was exactly where Jin Congcong had leaned against it just now.
"Miss, could it be that Master Jin's great calamity has come true? Will he fall to his death?"
Bu Ruo shook her head: "No, judging from the rhythm of that idiot falling just now, this should be a staircase."
Mo Bao took out a tinderbox from his pocket and said, "I'll go down first. In case there's a trap here..."
Bi'er: "Don't worry, the mechanism has been rolled out by Master Jin now, it sounds quite safe."
Mo Bao: ...
The three of them walked down the stairs and saw someone who was about to cry.
"Wuwu... Ruo'er, Ruo'er, I knew you wouldn't leave me here. Where is this? I'm scared."
Bu Ruo actually paid attention to him this time, but...
"Here, at the end of this place is the treasure you mentioned. It's the greatest treasure in this Great Zhou. Do you want to go?"
Jin Congcong was so scared of the dark that his legs went weak, but he still held on to Bu Ruo's sleeve tightly: "Go, I'll go as long as there's money. I know you're so stingy that you definitely can't give me anything, so I'll go and take a look. Didn't my father ask you to take me to see the world?"
Bu Ruo pulled out his sleeves and said, "I'll take you there, but there's one thing: you have to shut up. It's best if you don't make any sound. Otherwise, I won't be responsible if you die in there."
Jin Congcong grabbed Mo Bao's clothes tightly with one hand and covered his mouth with the other hand and nodded, indicating that he promised not to say a word.
Half an hour later, Jin Congcong stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Ruo'er, whose mansion is this? Why is it so big and shabby?"
Bu Ruo quietly led him to the door and pointed at it: "Are you blind? Or can't you read?"
Jin Congcong looked up in the moonlight...
"Cold Palace? Ruo'er... please don't tell me this is the Imperial Palace."
"I know you've been brooding over General Bu's family and even had mental problems, but we can take our time. Assassinating the emperor in the middle of the night has rarely been successful in history."
"There are only four of us now... No, I don't know martial arts, so I can't be considered a person. At most, I can be considered half a person. If we have three and a half people to assassinate the emperor, you might as well lead your Bu family army to rebel directly. That way, at least you have some chance of winning."
"And you two, you both knew Ruo'er had mental problems, so why didn't you try to persuade her and let her do whatever she wanted? She said she wanted to come to the palace, so you followed her. If she wanted to go to heaven, wouldn't you have to help her build a ladder?"
"Have you considered the consequences if this assassination attempt fails? Are you two planning to play Candy Crush?"
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes as she looked at Jin Congcong, then suddenly reached out and tore off a piece of his outer robe and wrapped it tightly around his mouth.
"That's good now. It's much quieter."
Jin Congcong: ...
Wow, my robe, my new robe, my favorite robe, the first robe I ever wore... just gone like that.
