Chapter 400 Let You Go
In the Red Spirit Kingdom, the various forces hunting for the treasure have fought for several rounds, but the treasure has not yet been opened.
Ouyang Yue even agreed to the demands of these forces and allowed them to each try to open the tomb door.
So, all members of the Zhang family were pulled out for a walk.
They tried individual bloodletting, collective bloodletting, and even the jade pendant found in Zhang's house as a key.
Unfortunately, after trying every possible method, the tomb door remained motionless.
"Hey, I heard that the Yansha Kingdom also found a treasure, and the Yansha Emperor personally mobilized troops to surround the entire mountain."
"Is it possible that the treasure passed down by the Zhang family is not here at all? Otherwise, why can't the Zhang family open it themselves?"
"Yeah, could it be that the Zhang family treasure is the one from Yansha Country?"
"Well, now that you put it that way, it is indeed possible. Otherwise, Emperor Yansha would not be able to lead his troops to surround the mountain in person."
"Ah? The mountain is surrounded. Could it be that it has been opened?"
"Oh, it will take several months to get to Yansha Country. I don't know if it's too late to go there now."
......
Ouyang Yue felt amused when she heard the rumors. They should all go to Yansha Kingdom as soon as possible and stop staring at her here.
She had been feeling very frustrated because she was guarding a treasure mountain but couldn't get the treasure.
Now that all methods have been tried, let's dig the mountain.
But the treasure is all in this tomb, and this tomb is in the mountain. If we dig up the mountain, won’t we get the treasure?
But digging the mountain is not an easy task. Not only does it require more manpower, but it also requires driving away outsiders.
So, she spread the rumor that Yansha Kingdom had found the Zhang family treasure, and sent a letter to invite her brother Ouyang Qing to come and dig the mountain together.
She was a princess. Apart from the number of guards assigned by the royal family, she had no military power. It would be difficult for the troops she had raised privately to be exposed at this time.
Once the rumor spread, most of the people guarding here were gone.
Especially the underworld forces of the Zhang family, not a single one was left alive, and they all swarmed towards the Yansha Kingdom.
Ouyang Qing had just returned to Beijing from the border. Although he successfully wiped out the invading Yansha Kingdom's coastal defense forces on the coastal defense line, he himself was also ambushed and seriously injured.
After receiving Ouyang Yue's message, he did not send anyone.
Now that he has been seriously injured and has made great contributions in driving away the enemy, it is time for him to gain the favor of the Red Spirit Emperor.
Therefore, he had no intention of getting involved in the treasure business.
He knew his sister too well, and she would never let him get involved in anything that would be of real benefit.
I only think of him when I encounter difficult things.
Although his men had been guarding there for more than half a year, he himself never showed up.
After all, stealing treasure with your head covered and digging for treasure with great fanfare are two completely different things.
It is true that he is ambitious, but he is not like his sister who makes all his goals public.
"Did you receive a reply?"
After the letter was sent out, Ouyang Yue waited in the mountains for half a month and became a little anxious.
“No.”
The guards seemed more anxious than Ouyang Yue. They had limited manpower, and if they really wanted to dig the mountain, they might not be able to return home for several years.
Therefore, they hoped to hear from Ouyang Qing more than Ouyang Yue.
"Go back to the capital and find out why the Second Prince didn't reply. If he hasn't received the letter, go to his mansion to meet him in person."
Ouyang Yue pointed to a guard she trusted and asked him to run errands.
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
The guard received the order and left quickly.
"What forces are left at the foot of the mountain?"
Ouyang Yue stayed here personally because she was afraid that someone would secretly dig the mountain when she was away.
"To reply to the eldest princess, the number of people left at the foot of the mountain has decreased by more than half compared to before. Most of the powerful forces in the martial arts world have only left one or two people waiting for news. Only the frontier expansion captain of Yansha Kingdom has no intention of leaving."
The maidservant felt a little disgusted when she mentioned the Yansha Kingdom.
Last winter, some kind of evil happened to the Yansha Kingdom, and batches of Yansha soldiers were picked up by birds of prey and thrown into this mountain.
No one knew whether they had poked the raptor's nest and were retaliated against, or whether they had taken a fancy to this good Feng Shui site and rushed here to commit suicide.
As a result, their beautiful land of the Red Spirit Kingdom almost became a graveyard for the Yansha people.
"Who put them in here? Their papers haven't expired yet?"
Ouyang Yue asked doubtfully.
Although the five countries in Changxing mainland disliked each other, they also had an alliance.
Citizens need customs documents to travel between different countries, and there are also restrictions on the length of stay.
As soon as we heard the title of the commander of the frontier defense, we knew that he was not a good person. Why would he let him get a document for long-term detention?
"This...I don't know."
The maidservant did not understand these things, and dared not contact the people down the mountain.
"Go check the document in the hands of the Yansha people and ask them to leave quickly. This is our Chiling territory. Foreigners are not allowed to stay here."
Ouyang Yue pointed to a guard and asked him to go down the mountain to chase them away.
She originally thought that Guo Mu had a way to open the treasure, so she turned a blind eye to the fact that he stayed here.
Now that we know he is of no value, we naturally have to deal with him impartially.
After the guards left, Ouyang Yue took the maid back to her tent.
"Prince Ning, it seems that you are of no value to me. How about I let you go?"
Ouyang Yue looked at Prince Ning in his tent with a playful look in his eyes.
She thought that if this man was good-looking, she could take him into her room. Unfortunately, he looked a bit stupid, so she couldn't bring herself to take him.
Just kill him. He is the second prince of Sheng'an Kingdom and it might bring trouble to you.
Since we can't take him and can't kill him, let's do a good deed and let him go.
"I don't think what the princess said is appropriate. I think it would be better if the princess sent someone to send me back to Sheng'an. Then my father would definitely accept the princess's favor and it is possible that he would promise her some benefits."
Prince Ning is now confined to a wheelchair and dares not even think about returning to Sheng'an State alone.
In order to open this so-called treasure, Ouyang Yue brought him here and shed blood several times.
Fortunately, the Zhang family had all been tried before, and many people had begun to suspect the relationship between the treasure and the Zhang family, so after he arrived, no one had any ideas about him.
But if he dared to leave alone today, he would probably be captured as soon as he got down the mountain.
After all, the rumor that the Zhang family treasure was hidden in Yansha Kingdom was found, and he had the blood of the Zhang family flowing in his veins, so he could not escape the fate of being captured and used as a key.
"Should I send someone to take you back? Let your father owe me a favor?"
Ouyang Yue seemed to be asking a rhetorical question, but also seemed to be talking to herself.
"But, you have been in my hands for several months, right? No one has come to look for you in these months. Are you sure that Emperor Sheng An can owe me a favor?"
Ouyang Yue said this and glanced at Prince Ning.
Some people wondered if he was the prince who was disliked by Emperor Sheng'an.
Moreover, the scene of him sinking into the princess's mansion that day was exactly the same as that of those Yansha people who were thrown down the mountain by birds of prey.
Is there any connection between these two?
