But seeing Ying Xixi frowning and thinking about something, he didn't continue the topic.
Ying Xixi is talking to the system.
"System, what's going on? Why can't I speak just now?
Do you not allow me to tell Yin Huaixu about my next rebirth?"
After all, Ying Xixi has done plane missions so many times that she knows that nine out of ten abnormal situations are related to the system.
[That's right, host. After all, your next rebirth has not happened yet, so it is not appropriate to tell the male protagonist.
Otherwise, if the male protagonist takes any action after knowing this, it will disrupt the development of the plot. 】
"I see. It seems I can only keep this matter to myself."
Ying Xixi didn't think anything of it. It was just the rules of the system and the plane.
What needs to be followed must be followed.
In the next three days, Yin Huaixu started to go out early and come back late. He took the time to deal with all the things that could be dealt with in advance, so that he could have more time to accompany his wife south.
As for Ying Xixi, at most she instructed Ah Xiang to pack some things, and there was nothing else to do.
The person who came to deliver the gift on behalf of my grandfather was sent away by Yin Huaixu.
His grandfather should also be informed of the fact that he had embezzled the treasure map.
Three days later, Yin Huaixu and Ying Xixi left the capital in a carriage.
To the outside world, Yin Huaixu only said that he was going on a private visit in disguise.
Internally, only Ying Xixi knew what they were going to do after leaving Beijing.
The court is relatively stable now, and there will be no chaos even if Emperor Yin Huaixu is not in the palace.
On the way south, they stopped and walked, and did not deliberately rush. When it got dark, they would stay in a nearby inn or ask for the night, and continue their journey at dawn.
If they passed by a place that Ying Xixi found interesting, Yin Huaixu would stop and let her have fun before continuing on their journey.
The journey was supposed to take just over a month, but Ying Xixi and her group took more than two months to reach the outskirts of Chengzhou.
It can be said that Ying Xixi was thinking that if she arrived in Chengdu later, she could live one more day.
We have been on the road for more than two months and now it is winter.
Winter in the south is not as cold as in the north, so Ying Xixi has adapted to it.
They came to the outskirts of Chengzhou, but instead of going into Chengzhou city, they started walking directly towards the cave according to the topographic map.
Before we were halfway there, it was getting dark.
Yin Huaixu didn't want Ying Xixi to be tired from traveling so late at night, so he asked everyone to stop and rest.
The mountain carriages here couldn't be brought up, so everyone just sat on the ground and made a fire to spend the night.
Ying Xixi and Yin Huaixu sat by the fire, while An Yi and six other secret guards stood guard around them, while Ah Xiang was in charge of grilling the meat.
Ying Xixi glanced at the dark mountain, and her heartbeat in her chest quickened.
The closer she got to the treasure, the closer she felt to death.
We're in the mountains now, so there shouldn't be any bandits showing up suddenly, right?
She won't die at the hands of bandits again, right?
Ying Xixi pursed her lips tightly, somewhat alert.
Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of the system sounded in my mind.
[Host! I found the cave on the treasure map! !]
Ying Xixi's heart beat even faster.
"Is it far from here? Can you see anything in the cave?"
[Host, these problems are not important now. What is important is that there are people guarding outside that cave! !
The treasure in the cave has been discovered in advance!!】
Ying Xixi: “???”
"This...then, then, could the people guarding outside the cave be my grandfather's men?"
[I don’t know. I still need to observe further.]
Host, don't worry for now. I'll observe and tell you if anything happens.
If I can't figure anything out, I'll have to ask the protagonist's secret guard to investigate.]
"good."
After finishing the conversation with the system, the jumping flames in front of her eyes made Ying Xixi feel insecure.
There was only light here in the whole mountain, while the rest of the place was dark.
If there is something in the darkness, wouldn't it be obvious to find them?
There are also those people guarding outside the cave that the system mentioned.
Whose person could it be?
Ying Xixi fell into deep thought.
"Xixi? What are you thinking about? Why are you so serious?"
Yin Huaixu's smiling voice sounded in his ears.
Ying Xixi turned to look at him and expressed her concerns.
"Ah Xu, tell me, if it is a treasure, why did my grandfather give it to me?
If my grandfather felt regret or guilt for breaking up my mother's marriage with her lover.
The person he should compensate is my mother, not me.
As a result, he just sent someone to deliver the treasure map without leaving a single word.
Ah Xu, do you think this is really a gift?
Also, this place is so close to Chengzhou City. I remember that the fief of a prince of a different surname was in Chengzhou.
Could it be that the prince has already discovered that there is a treasure hidden in the cave here?"
Ying Xixi couldn't help herself and spoke out all her thoughts and doubts in one breath.
Yin Huaixu frowned and thought, "The person who sent the gift on behalf of my grandfather only admitted that the treasure map was given to you by my grandfather.
It is true that there is no mention of your grandfather conveying any message or letter to you.
If you hadn't learned about the treasure map from Wang Ruyi, we probably wouldn't be here now.
As for why your grandfather gave you the treasure map, only he himself knows the reason.
Regardless of whether he has good intentions or has other motives, since we are already here, we can only go to the cave and take a look.
Chengzhou is indeed a prince's fiefdom. If the prince discovered this place, we would be stopped even from going up the mountain.
However, it is hard to say whether the prince would send people to guard the entrance of the cave if he found out.
Xixi, now that things have come to this, there's no point worrying too much. We can only take it one step at a time.
Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will protect you."
Yin Huaixu put his arm around Ying Xixi's shoulders to give her a sense of security.
Ying Xixi frowned and pursed her lips.
She was not afraid that Yin Huaixu could not protect her, she was afraid that she would die here unexpectedly, leaving Yin Huaixu to return to Beijing alone.
She was also afraid that Yin Huaixu would get hurt because of her.
But it is true that there is no point in worrying too much now.
Ying Xixi breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the system's reply.
After eating some barbecue, a few people took turns to rest.
Yin Huaixu leaned against a big tree, and Ying Xixi leaned in his arms.
Ah Xiang covered part of the fire, leaving only a small flame, and rested against a big tree.
The sky grew darker and the surroundings became quieter.
From time to time, you can hear the howling of wolves and the calls of unknown animals in the distance.
Ying Xixi closed her eyes for a while and heard the system's reply.
[Host, I observed for a while, but still couldn't figure out where the person guarding the cave entrance was from.
So I went to see the king of a different surname, and by chance, I discovered that he was already plotting a rebellion.
