Qingzhu felt a headache when she saw the two of them and the dog running here without fear in the middle of the night.
The master just ordered him to guard here and not allow anyone else to enter.
"Princess Anle, it's very dangerous in there. Can I find someone to take you back?"
Tao Yuwei ran for most of the night just to find the treasure. Now, the treasure is right in front of her, but they want to send her away.
What does she want?
In order to see the treasure, she would be willing to kill the evil bandits, not to mention the danger.
"This princess is not afraid of danger. Please get out of the way. If you don't let this princess in, we will break in."
The two men and the wolf stared at Qingzhu who was blocking the entrance of the cave. Qingzhu looked at the grinning white dog, his hair stood on end and he felt numb all over.
"You guys go in."
Clearing the way to the cave entrance, Qingzhu hid aside.
No matter what, Princess Anle will be responsible if anything goes wrong.
This is to prevent her from finding ways to cause trouble and ruin the master's plan.
Tao Yuwei snatched a wooden stick used to light kerosene from Qingzhu's hand, held it in her hand, and trotted into the cave.
The white-haired wolf king led the way, Jiang Siyan walked in the middle, and she followed behind.
The path inside the cave is not very wide and is a passage dug out by humans.
The further you go in, the narrower the passage becomes, only wide enough for a small cart to pass through.
Following the winding terrain, under the leadership of the wolf king, they successfully reached the depths of the cave.
She heard bursts of wild laughter coming from the cave.
"Teacher, God will not let down those who work hard. Haha, these treasures are all ours."
An old voice rang out from the cave, "Your Highness is the true emperor. With these treasures as your backing, the entire Great Zhou is yours!"
I saw Junshan King Xiao Long holding a huge night-shining pearl in his hand, with a smile on his jade-like face that looked like melting snow mountains and a spring breeze.
Wang Lingchang's hands were full of jade ornaments, his face flushed with excitement, and his aura was arrogant and proud.
It was as if the entire Great Zhou had fallen into the hands of the two of them.
They dream of reaching the highest position to achieve their selfish desires.
"Really? Did you agree with me?"
Xiao Lichen's unique cold voice alarmed another group of people in the cave.
The people he brought raised their crossbows and surrounded King Junshan and his men.
King Junshan and Wang Lingchang stood in front of a pile of jewels and silver, looking in surprise at Xiao Lichen and others who suddenly appeared.
They were being followed.
"Xiao Lichen, as your elder, I am your royal father. How dare you disrespect me?"
King Junshan reacted quickly, threw the night pearl in his hand into the pile of silver, put his hands behind his back, and scolded Xiao Lichen in a domineering manner.
Just as Xiao Lichen was about to speak, he heard Tao Yuwei's words conveyed to his mind.
[These hypocritical fellows, who were already rebelling when they got the treasure, dared to act like a bully here. They were fighting for power, and the entire Zhuguogong family was exterminated because of these two scoundrels, with the exception of the married princess.]
[Back then, he was jealous of his eldest son inheriting the throne and wanted to replace him.
You say you have ability, but you are jealous of your brother's eldest son who is more capable than you. As a result, you use your good looks to hypocritically deceive some noble ladies to help him collect various information in the capital.
He deceived Concubine Huo's feelings and cheated on his nephew.
He took advantage of the fact that his eldest nephew was not in the capital, and sneaked in to sow discord between his brother, the emperor, and his ministers, stirring up trouble in the capital, secretly eliminating dissidents, and winning over court officials.
In order to deal with the Zhuguogong family, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the northern barbarians and frame them for treason.
Now, he actually has the nerve to use his elder status to bully others with awe-inspiring authority!]
[Bah! This guy deserves to be chopped off!]
Tao Yuwei pulled Jiang Siyan behind these people. The cave was lit up by torches and was as bright as day.
After she saw the situation inside the cave clearly, she stared at the young and charming face of King Junshan, cursing him in her heart with disdain for a long time.
[You old bastard, you're not young anymore, but you're still pretending to be a twenty-year-old young man, flirting with romantic interests everywhere, and even bewitching the second princess of the Northern Barbarians into wanting to marry you.]
Tao Yuwei cursed so hard in her heart that she forgot to look at the mountain of gold, silver and jewelry.
Xiao Lichen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly stood up, drew a sharp sword from Heiyan's waist, flipped over, and easily came to the sword in King Junshan's hand and swung it, and a stream of blood spurted out.
One of King Junshan's arms was cut off on the spot.
After Xiao Lichen fell to the ground with the sword in his hand, he heard painful wails spreading throughout the cave.
King Junshan's face was splattered with blood. He covered the wound on his severed right arm with his left hand and knelt on the ground.
The left prime minister Wang Lingchang didn't expect Xiao Lichen to attack without saying a word, which frightened him so much that his white beard turned pale and his whole old face turned as white as paper.
His legs were shaking, and he pointed his finger at Xiao Lichen, who was standing with his back to them, and said, "You...you treacherous villain..."
Tao Yuwei didn't expect that what she had in mind was actually implemented by Xiao Lichen.
She and Jiang Siyan covered their mouths in shock, fearing that they would scream.
[Ah! How can the villain walk with his legs? This is so cool!]
[This swift and decisive action was carried out without any delay!]
King Junshan's accomplice, Wang Lingchang, is no good either. He's the same breed as his master, having held the top position among the civil officials for years. He's been playing both sides with the emperor, acting insincerely and treacherously. He's colluded with his students and friends to embezzle vast sums from the treasury, eliminating dissidents. He's also formed his own caravan, heading to the Northern Barbarians, secretly selling refined iron and salt to the barbarian nobles, making their weapons increasingly powerful. He's a complete traitor.
After a flash of sword light, Xiao Lichen cut off the finger that Wang Lingchang was pointing at him.
"Come here, arrest the traitorous official who colluded with the northern barbarians to rebel and murder loyal officials. Imprison him in the prison for strict interrogation."
Following Xiao Lichen's order, King Junshan and Wang Lingchang ignored their wounds and immediately led their men to fight to the last.
For a moment, the group of people led by Xiao Lichen kept pulling the crossbows to attack.
More than half of King Junshan's men were killed or wounded on the ground.
The remaining small group of people broke out of the encirclement, desperately protecting their two masters and retreating.
The two sides fought and retreated until they reached the cave entrance.
King Junshan and Wang Lingchang were about to evacuate the cave when suddenly, a tall and straight figure in armor appeared at the entrance of the cave.
He held a long spear in his hand and guarded the door like a door god.
"Xiao Long, you traitorous bastard have finally fallen into my hands."
Tao Zhihong, along with a group of impressive soldiers, met the fearful gazes of King Junshan and Wang Lingchang.
