Chapter 692: Just return the item to its original owner!
Ran Qingxuan did not answer immediately, but solemnly took out a yellowed parchment scroll from his arms.
The parchment scroll is made up of several pieces and its edges are worn, but the ink on it is still clearly visible.
After seeing this, Gu Yanchen's pupils suddenly contracted: "This is..." His voice was full of disbelief.
He thought about what Ran Qingxuan would say to He Fanxiong, but he didn't think she would take out the parchment scroll...
He Fanxiong's eyes fell on the parchment scroll and he frowned slightly. A sense of familiarity came to his mind, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it.
"I wonder if Mr. He recognizes this thing?" Ran Qingxuan held the parchment scroll in both hands and silently watched He Fanxiong's reaction.
He Fanxiong shook his head: "It seems familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it."
"One of them was obtained by ourselves, and the other missing piece was given to me by your father... Senior He Guzi."
The memory of the parchment scroll became clearer and clearer. He Fanxiong suddenly remembered something and almost spilled the tea beside him when he stood up.
"Could it be... about the treasure that was taken away?"
He Fanxiong's voice trembled slightly. He stretched out his hand, but stopped when he was about to touch the parchment scroll.
"Since it was given to you by my father, why is it now..."
Ran Qingxuan seemed very calm. As for treasures, the ones in her space were enough to last her dozens of lifetimes. These things originally came from Lan Yu, so it would not be a big deal to return them to them.
The most important thing is, if Qi Mingjing... maybe...
Ran Qingxuan closed his eyes slightly and put away those fantasies, but after all, if such a day really came, it would not be bad for their Gu family to get rid of Blue Rain, the former drug den.
The premise is that they are grateful!
By taking out the parchment scroll, Ran Qingxuan took a great risk. Such an action was undoubtedly helping a country to rise, which was equivalent to collaborating with the enemy!
The air in the secret room seemed to freeze. He Fanxiong was not stupid either. His expression changed again and again, and finally turned into a long sigh.
"Madam Gu is so kind to us, the He family will never be able to repay her in this lifetime!"
"What happened on this parchment is in the past, and it is better not to mention it."
"And the things in this treasure map are of little significance to us, but they can help you take the first step."
Ran Qingxuan solemnly handed the parchment scroll to He Fanxiong and said in a deep voice.
"Senior He Guzi gave me this item as a transaction. Now it is just returned to its original owner. As for the other things, I don't think too much about it."
As he spoke, Ran Qingxuan handed the parchment scroll to He Fanxiong: "Please accept it!"
He Fanxiong's hands trembled slightly, and the moment he took the parchment scroll, a drop of hot tear dripped on it.
He gently unfolded it and saw complex mountain and river terrain drawn on it with a bright red symbol marked in the center.
"This place..." He Fanxiong's voice choked.
Gu Yanchen stepped forward and said, "The map of the secret treasure of Blue Rain Country. The treasure that was taken away by your biological father is said to be enough to rebuild a country."
Hearing this, He Qingqing gasped, while Lu Adong widened his eyes, shock written all over his dark face.
"Since my grandfather gave you the things, why give them back to us?" He Qingtuo suddenly asked, his eyes flashing with a sharpness beyond his age.
Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen looked at each other, and Gu Yanchen answered for them: "We didn't expect these things to happen later, and..."
Gu Yanchen paused and continued, "We are from Northern Qi after all. If we rashly intervene in Blue Rain's affairs, something unexpected may happen."
He Fanxiong's fingers gently stroked the lines on the parchment scroll: "The mark on it... is the Dragon Vein Mountain behind the Blue Rain Ancestral Mausoleum...
It’s just that there are a lot of confusing mountains in it, making it difficult for people to find it easily. In fact, if you can understand it, it’s easy to find it! ”
"Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu, you could have..." There was shock and emotion in He Fanxiong's voice.
"Can I take it as my own?" Ran Qingxuan smiled slightly.
"There's no need. What I have is something you can never imagine in your lifetime." Her eyes swept over He Qingtuo and He Qingqing.
"Besides, these two children deserve a better future."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Fanxiong suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them, shocking Ran Qingxuan so much that he quickly supported him: "Even if you put aside your current identity, I can't accept this gift!"
"No, this gift is not only for me, Qingtuo and Qingqing, but also for the millions of people of Blue Rain."
With He Fanxiong's insistence, the couple accepted it with peace of mind, otherwise it would be He Fanxiong who would be uneasy.
"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Miss Ran and Master Gu's kindness will be forever remembered by us, grandparents, and even the entire Blue Rain."
He Qingtuo walked up to Ran Qingxuan, his childish face full of determination.
"Sister Ran, Brother Gu, I, He Qingtuo, swear here that I will live up to your trust and use this wealth to let the people of Blue Rain live a good life."
Ran Qingxuan's eyes flashed with relief, and he reached out and rubbed He Qingtuo's hair: "Silly child, this is originally yours."
After saying that, he looked at He Fanxiong and said, "Since Mr. He knows where this place is, then he should go there early and take it back to the treasury. It's safer to put the things in his own pocket!"
He Fanxiong unfolded the parchment scroll on the table and pointed to the mark on the map and explained.
"According to the markings above, the treasures that were taken away are in the imperial mausoleum in the heart of the Blue Rain Dragon Vein Mountain. Just like the dungeon, it is guarded by a group of poisonous insects and also requires royal blood to open."
"Grandfather, when are we leaving?" He Qingtuo asked impatiently.
He Fanxiong pondered for a moment and said, "This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Tomorrow I will use the excuse of worship as an excuse to have the court officials prepare..."
"Well... Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome. If you go to such great lengths to show up at the Imperial Mausoleum, it will only draw too much attention..."
Ran Qingxuan tapped the winding mountain lines on the parchment scroll with her fingertips, and the candlelight flickered in her clear eyes.
"Mr. He, if you take Qingtuo and the others to the imperial mausoleum with great fanfare, I'm afraid the news will spread throughout Blue Rain before we even see the treasure."
He Fanxiong's gray eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and his skinny fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the teacup. The tea had already gone cold, reflecting his worried face.
"Other than this, there is no other reasonable way." The old man said in a hoarse voice.
"Grandfather!" He Qingtuo suddenly spoke, and the boy's clear voice was particularly clear in the side hall.
He walked up to Ran Qingxuan and looked up at this woman of great accomplishments and wisdom.
"Sister Ran is right. Some ministers in the court are respectful on the surface, but I don't know how many eyes are watching us behind our backs."
He Qingqing couldn't help but nodded: "Grandfather, I have been paying attention to you during the meal just now.
Some of them clearly saw that Qingtuo couldn't handle the alcohol, but they still came forward to toast him, ignoring the fact that he was still a child..."
He Qingtuo opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
