Chapter 375 Nothing to do with her
Ouyang Yue felt a little anxious as she saw that the treasure she had found with great difficulty could not be opened.
"If you can't even open an ancient tomb, what use do I have for you?"
A man in a black robe and a mask was scolded by her and remained silent.
"I will give you three more days. If you still cannot open the tomb door, I will send your clan leader to come in person."
Ouyang Yue was furious for a while, but the man in black robe remained silent.
The black wizards are good at witchcraft, formations, and poison, but not at robbing graves, so they really can't open the door of this tomb.
They tried all the places that were considered to be institutions.
All the places that were considered to be 'locks' were also tested with King Ning's blood.
But the tomb door didn't react at all.
What could they do? They could only let the princess vent her anger by being scolded every day.
Anyway, the princess has a lot of talented people on her payroll, so she can always expect one or two people with some talent in tomb robbing.
As for their patriarch, it is impossible for him to come.
The clan leader's direct disciples have all been seduced away by the princess, so it would be strange if they could come.
"Princess, why don't you take that person over? Since it is said that only people of Zhang family bloodline can open the treasure, that person will surely be able to figure out something. Maybe there are other ways to open the treasure."
Ouyang Yue's close associates saw that their work had been in vain again today and knew that they couldn't go on like this, so they spoke out to persuade her.
The person she was referring to was Prince Ning.
Ouyang Yue was worried that the "key" of Prince Ning might be stolen, so she did not dare to bring him to the treasure land. She just asked the black wizard to go to the princess's house to get his blood.
Ouyang Yue didn't know whether King Ning's blood was useless or the Black Witch used the wrong method. After all, the relationship between her and the Black Witch clan was somewhat complicated.
It is not impossible to not cooperate with her or deliberately fool her.
"Well, then..."
"Princess of the Red Spirit Nation, since you can't open the tomb door, why don't you let me try?"
Ouyang Yue's words were interrupted by someone. From the way this person was dressed, it was obvious that he was a gangster.
"Oh? How sure are you?"
Ouyang Yue raised her eyes and looked at the person who was speaking.
The tomb door was surrounded by her people, and it was not easy for others to get close without her permission.
Therefore, the person who was speaking had to be at least a few feet away from her.
"Princess, may I have a word with you?"
The man looked around and saw spies sent by various forces. He didn't want these people to know his thoughts.
"Let him in."
Ouyang Yue gave the guard a look, and the guard let the person who was speaking in.
"I have the direct bloodline of the Zhang family. My people are responsible for opening the tomb door. I don't want much from the things inside. Just half of it will be enough."
The man lowered his voice and told Ouyang Yue his thoughts.
The direct bloodline of the Zhang family he mentioned should refer to the people of the Cheng'en Marquisate who were exiled to Youzhou, that is, the Zhang family.
"Hmph, even without the direct bloodline of the Zhang family, I can still open this tomb door. You can go back."
Ouyang Yue glanced at the man and was very disdainful of his proposal.
Before, she didn't know who had abducted the Zhang family's direct descendants. Now that she knows, and it happened on her territory, she certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
"Princess, I understand your thoughts, but..."
The man wanted to fight for it again, but was pushed to the periphery by Ouyang Yue's men.
"Follow him, find where they are hiding the people, and bring them to me."
Ouyang Yue has always prided herself on being strong, and thought that no one in the Chiling Kingdom dared to mess with her. She is very familiar with stealing other people's things.
However, this time she might have really met her match.
The man was pushed away by several guards, but he was not in a hurry.
Since he dared to ask for half of the treasure, he was not a man without ideas.
I saw him wandering lazily among the crowd, and it took him half an hour to reach a thatched hut halfway up the mountain and sit down to meditate.
This thatched hut has only a roof, supported by four wooden pillars, and there is nothing else inside except a roll of straw mat.
The guards who were following him watched from a distance for a long time, but the man didn't move at all.
After Ouyang Yue received the guard's reply, she frowned.
"Catch him and torture him. I don't believe he won't confess."
Ouyang Yue temporarily gave up and sent someone to pick up Prince Ning.
After all, Prince Ning is only the nephew of the Zhang family. If there is no accident, the direct descendant of the Zhang family in that person's hands should be Prince Ning's uncle. If he can be snatched away, he will certainly be more useful than Prince Ning.
"yes."
The guard agreed and took his men down to do their job.
In less than half an hour, a fight broke out at the foot of the mountain.
The fight was divided into three factions. Those who sided with that man wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to protect that man to get a piece of the pie, while those who sided with Ouyang Yue wanted to get some of the treasure by helping her rob the Zhang family.
The neutral faction wanted to persuade both parties to make concessions. As the middleman, they were responsible for facilitating cooperation between the two parties and then receiving a reward from each party.
Of course, this reward is divided according to the treasure obtained by both parties.
In short, everyone is pursuing their own agenda, and the situation is extremely chaotic.
After Chu Qinshu saw the situation clearly, she was extremely happy. Chaos was good, and it would be best if even the Chiling Kingdom was in chaos.
Although Chu Chengyi had already received the news that Ouyang Yue had found the treasure, it was the first time for him to witness the splendor of this treasure trove with his own eyes.
It might be an exaggeration to say that the people gathered here are elites from various countries, but it is true that each of them has some abilities.
It would be fine if the treasure could not be dug out, but if it was, there would be rivers of blood flowing in the fight.
"Eagle King, go home."
Seeing that she had nothing to do here, Chu Qinshu gave instructions to the Eagle King.
They still stayed in Baicheng, and it was King Baihu who took them back to the East Palace.
It is now the end of October, and Baicheng is already covered with snow and ice, but the climate in Chiling Country is still as warm as March. The South is indeed a great place.
"Dad, have you caught the spy from the White City Coast Guard?"
Arriving at Baicheng Mountain, Chu Qinshu suddenly remembered this incident.
It had been several months since this happened. After the war between Qingluo and Yansha, she had completely forgotten about the Baicheng project.
"He has already been caught, Shu'er, don't worry."
Chu Chengyi did not specify how to catch the Qingluo Kingdom spies lurking in the Baicheng Coastal Defense Force.
But from his tone, it could be heard that he didn't take much thought about that matter.
"Well, just catch it."
Chu Qinshu nodded and gave orders to the White Tiger King, asking it to carry her and Chu Chengyi back to the East Palace.
The weather was very cold, and Chu Chengyi wrapped her in his cloak, preventing her from being blown by the wind.
After returning to the main courtyard of the East Palace, the White Tiger King returned to the space to enjoy the chickens, ducks and geese that he must get every time he went on a mission. Chu Qinshu also entered the space to bask in the sun.
The temperature in the space is constant all year round, which is much more comfortable than outside.
Chu Qinshu was born not long ago in the winter of last year. Her body could not enter the space, so she could only stay outside by the fire to spend the winter.
This year she can enter the space, and of course she doesn't want to live that kind of smoky and chaotic life anymore.
"Master, something happened at the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion."
Little Gourd was not sure whether his master would be interested in the news about the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion, so he just mentioned it casually.
