1046 Old Nest, No One is a Good Person

Using the Third Prince's freedom in exchange for the Kyushu map was definitely a good deal for Lan Jiuqing. After all, the Third Prince's life and death had nothing to do with Lan Jiuqing, and as Lan Jiuqing, he had no reason to refuse.

"You can ask me to let you go, but... I only know that you have the Kyushu map, but I don't know whether it is real or fake. What if you give me a fake one, or you have more than one map? What's the use of getting the complete Kyushu map?"

The Kyushu map is actually quite useless. There are nine maps in total, and one map is useless if it's missing. This is only the case with Lan Jiuqing. Most people would not take the Kyushu map seriously, and might never find the nine maps until they die.

"Whether the Jiuzhou map is real or fake, I think Young Master Lan will know it at a glance. As for whether I have other maps, Young Master Lan will know it with just a check. Young Master Lan should be very clear how rare the Jiuzhou map is. I am also lucky to have obtained this one. Over the years, I have been inquiring about the whereabouts of other maps, but there is no news at all." What the Third Prince said was true.

Although the Kyushu Map is useless, people who know its value will not tell anyone about it after getting it. Having a Kyushu Map in hand not only means that one is one step closer to the treasure of the previous dynasty, but also ensures that no one can get the treasure. After all, all nine maps are indispensable.

Most people who have the Kyushu Map have the same mentality as others: if I can't get it, no one else can either. Just for this reason, no one will leak the Kyushu Map. Xuan Fei from Xuanxiao Palace is a weirdo and doesn't count.

The Third Prince had said so much, if Lan Jiuqing continued to pester him, it would seem that he was not sincere. Lan Jiuqing simply thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

"Your Highness is straightforward, and I am not a hypocritical person. However, I do not want to get involved in your dispute over Dongling. I hope Your Highness can keep our transaction confidential."

"No problem. I won't make things difficult for Young Master Lan." The Third Prince readily agreed.

The two men, who had their own plans and ulterior motives, were surprisingly in sync at this moment. They looked at each other knowingly, and Lan Jiuqing put away his sword without saying a word, and asked directly: "Third Prince, where should I send you?"

The Third Prince did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. He had more than one base in the Imperial City, but that was the safest place. That was his old nest in the Imperial City. The Emperor and the Ninth Prince had been searching for that place for half a year but could not find it. If it was exposed...

But if we go somewhere else, the Third Prince is worried. The Imperial City is the territory of the Ninth Prince and the Emperor. If we are not careful under their noses, the only outcome will be death. |

After hesitating for a long time, the Third Prince finally said it.

When Lan Jiuqing heard that place, he didn't show it on his face, but he was deeply shocked in his heart.

Who would have thought that the Third Prince would set up his lair in a nunnery? He is indeed extremely cunning.

Lan Jiuqing suppressed the turmoil in his heart and carried the Third Prince on his back: "Third Prince, you better be careful."

Lan Jiuqing didn't believe that the Third Prince would let him leave the nunnery alive, but he still had to go, because that place not only had the map of Kyushu, but was also the Third Prince's lair.

"Don't worry, I will never become a burden to Young Master Lan, and I will definitely not let Young Master Lan make his trip in vain." The Third Prince was also afraid that Lan Jiuqing would know his whereabouts, so he sold him out.

People like them have the intention to harm others, but they must also be on guard against others.

The sky gradually brightened. Lan Jiuqing did not dare to stay any longer and walked out with the Third Prince on his back. As soon as they left, the other courtyard became noisy. The Third Prince vaguely heard the noise from the other courtyard and a cruel smile flashed in his eyes.

Ninth brother, third brother is gone, but he will be back soon. When he comes back, you won’t be so lucky.

The nunnery that the Third Prince mentioned was not far from the imperial city. Lan Jiuqing took the Third Prince on horseback, and half an hour later they arrived outside the nunnery. Lan Jiuqing did not send the person in. About a mile away from the nunnery, Lan Jiuqing let the Third Prince go.

"Third Prince, I believe in your character, but I also believe that the world is dangerous, so I will not go into the nunnery. Give me the things, and I will leave now." Lan Jiuqing had already seen the murderous intent in the eyes of the Third Prince, but he did not care. It was not so easy to take his life.

"Young Master Lan, you have seen that my legs are disabled. Please help me, Young Master Lan. Send me in. I will definitely reward you handsomely." Arriving at his own territory, the Third Prince felt confident.

Lan Jiuqing knew his hiding place, and since he was not his man, how could he tolerate Lan Jiuqing leaving alive.

Lan Jiuqing sneered, pulled out his long sword, and put it on the Third Prince's neck: "Prince, do you think your people came faster, or my sword?"

"Young Master Lan, what do you mean by this?" The Third Prince's face changed, and he immediately realized that the other party knew his intention.

"It's nothing. Your Majesty, give me the map and I'll leave now. Otherwise... don't blame me for being rude." Lan Jiuqing used his sword a little bit, and the sword came into close contact with the Third Prince's neck. The Third Prince felt a pain in his neck, and he knew that Lan Jiuqing was serious...

"Third Prince, stop playing tricks. My patience is limited. If you don't hand over the map, your people will only see your corpse when they come." Lan Jiuqing knew that the Third Prince's people were coming soon, so he didn't waste any more time.

The Third Prince wanted to delay a little longer, but when he saw the murderous intent in Lan Jiuqing's eyes, he finally compromised.

A map is useless even if given to Lan Jiuqing, and...it is still a question whether Lan Jiuqing can leave with the map.

After realizing this, the Third Prince decided not to gamble his life. He took off his left boot in front of Lan Jiuqing and threw it in front of him: "In the middle of the sole."

Um.

This person... actually hid the Kyushu map under his feet. This is too...

Lan Jiuqing suppressed his disgust and used his dagger to cut open the Third Prince's left boot. Sure enough... the map was in the middle, but Lan Jiuqing was a little hesitant...

The Third Prince has been wearing these shoes all the time, and who knows how much sweat has seeped out of the soles. It is easy to imagine how dirty this map is. When Lan Jiuqing thought about the map being full of the Third Prince's foot odor, his hair went numb, and he couldn't stretch out his hand.

This map is disgusting.

The Third Prince was unaware of the struggle in Lan Jiuqing's heart. Seeing that Lan Jiuqing was hesitant to move, he was secretly happy.

His people are coming!

Lan Jiuqing knew this, and finally he suppressed his disgust, cut off a piece of his robe, picked up the Kyushu map on the sole of his shoe through the cloth, and wrapped it up...

Turn around and let Su Wenqing find a way to clean it up.

Seeing Lan Jiuqing like this, the Third Prince thought he was just being cautious and didn't think much about it.

Just as Lan Jiuqing put the map away, he heard rustling footsteps. Lan Jiuqing quickly glanced at the Third Prince, and seeing that the Third Prince's expression remained unchanged, he realized that the Third Prince didn't know that his people were coming.

Lan Jiuqing stepped forward and pressed the acupuncture points of the Third Prince. The Third Prince was startled and wanted to shout, but found that he could not move or speak. The Third Prince was feeling uneasy when he heard Lan Jiuqing say, "Third Prince, you are unkind but I cannot be unjust. I will not take your life if I get the map. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he disappeared in front of the Third Prince in a flash. As for whether Lan Jiuqing was really as righteous as he said, only God knew...

The Third Prince sat there, and soon his men arrived. As soon as he was free, he pointed in the direction where Lan Jiuqing disappeared and gave a cold order: "Go, chase a man in black clothes and a silver mask. I don't want him to come down the mountain alive."

The Third Prince's men knew the seriousness of the situation and did not dare to hesitate. They immediately sent out a signal, asking people at all intersections to take action...

If he’s alive, I want to see him in person. If he’s dead, I want to see his body!

A message to readers: It's the end of the month... dears, don't waste your monthly tickets. Another Kyushu map has been released, are you going to vote for it too?

Some people have said that the recent plot is slow. I just want to say that I am very satisfied with my plot. The recent content involves a lot of struggles, and there is no way to write it fast. If I write it fast, I won’t have the feeling that everything is calculated by the Ninth Prince. But when we return to the imperial city, the plot will speed up again.
