Chapter 324 He Understood Again
Pei Mingjie sat in the lobby of the inn, watching the people coming and going, trying to comfort the little princess who had been crying and had the hiccups. His mood strangely calmed down.
He didn't know how to describe this change in his mood. If he had to say it, it was like -
He was walking on the road when suddenly someone rushed out and kicked him for no reason. The person used all his strength and the pain was so severe that he couldn't straighten his back on the spot.
He was about to get angry, but the person who was traveling with him was even angrier than him, and he rushed over and started fighting with him...
He could no longer vent his anger.
The crying of the little girl in the lobby finally weakened a little, until the bald monk glanced back at him slyly, moved to an angle that he could not see clearly, took something out of his arms and stuffed it into the little girl's hand, which finally made her burst into laughter.
Jiang Yingcheng blinked her red almond-shaped eyes from crying, lowered her eyes and stared at the purse for a long time before she realized what was stuffed into her hand.
【Hide, treasure map?! 】
She tilted her little face up and let her handsome father wipe it gently with a handkerchief. After the handkerchief was removed, she reached into her sleeve and took out two pieces of candy, and put one into each of the two uncles' hands.
She said obediently, "Are you tired, uncle? You have worked hard!"
The two faces connected seamlessly at such a speed that everyone present was amazed.
Lechen quickly reached out and gently pinched the boy's face, and explained in a loud voice, taking advantage of the opportunity -
"This Xun Xing has been hiding in Xi'an Town for several years, pretending to be Ao Qi, just to find the trace of the Ao family's heirloom. Fortunately, Master Yu is well-informed and recognized that this person is not the real Ao Qi, otherwise we would have been fooled by him!"
The response was also very loud——
"Really?! That's really a pity for Master Yu! If we allow these thieves to steal the treasure, the Ao family will not be able to rest in peace!"
"Master Yu is so righteous!"
As the group of people spoke, they glanced in their direction in a self-consciously covert manner, as if observing their reactions.
Pei Mingjie looked confused.
Pei Mingjie suddenly realized.
Got it.
This is for them!
Pei Mingjie immediately cooperated: "Master Yu is so noble!"
The people next to him: "Sir, you are so noble!!"
——These big shots who usually call the shots are willing to personally perform for them, what else can they be dissatisfied with? !
The eyes of the ministers present showed obvious praise: This boy is teachable!
Under everyone's ardent gaze, Jiang Yingcheng carefully took out the silk cloth from the interlayer and spread it out on the wooden table next to him, his eyes sparkling: "Wow——"
Inspired by the exaggerated reactions of the uncles, Jiang Yingcheng also said this sentence very loudly: "It's a topographic map!"
Afterwards, he quietly asked 007 in his heart: [Brother Tong, Brother Tong, is Yue Henqing listening?!]
The Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu glanced back casually: I'm listening, I'm listening!
"Topographic map? Could this heirloom be a treasure map?" Chu Jiaxu turned around suddenly and looked at Yu Xingmian beside him, "Does Lord Yu have any relevant information in this regard?"
Yu Xingmian took the opportunity to answer the question and turned aside, trying to let everyone see the confusion on his face: "Yes, yes..."
Minister of Revenue Jiao Hongmiao: "Only?"
"It's just that I have heard that the treasure location indicated on the map is in a deep mountain forest, surrounded by countless poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts. What's even more dangerous is-"
Yu Xingmian lowered his voice when he spoke this: "It is said that there are devices and magics set up by Master Huici himself around there. If someone who is not proficient in this field were to break in, I am afraid that even the corpse would not be found intact."
“Wow!”
Although I don’t know what kind of person Master Huici is, but——
“So scary!!”
The young man in the middle of the crowd held his chin with his hands, his eyelids drooped, and he looked lost: "What should we do? It seems that there is no uncle who knows this in our team..."
Pei Mingjie, who was outside the crowd, listened for a while with frowned brows, and suddenly he clapped his hands as if he had an epiphany. His eyes flashed with the wisdom of "he understands it again", and he suddenly turned his head to look to his side.
He was not the only one waiting here today. Dozens of people who were preparing to follow Emperor Mingze out of the valley had also come here early in the morning. Young Master Yue of Yuanling Yue family, who was a heretic and specialized in the art of Qimen Dunjia, was standing next to him at this moment.
Yue Henqing spoke hesitantly: "That..."
"I know a little bit about the art of Qimen. If you don't mind, I will teach you..."
"You don't mind!!" Lord Wang was delighted, "Ahem, ahem - eh, I mean, my Da Rui is really full of talents -"
Everyone present: "..."
Isn't this turn too abrupt? !
…
The crowd entered Xi'an Town under the pretext of sightseeing, and after leaving Xun Xing to the angry townspeople, they still stayed here for another day.
The next morning, a group of people left the foggy maze with the "Avengers Squad".
After walking and stopping all the way south for more than ten days, they successfully arrived at the destination indicated by the treasure map - Tuobi County.
The climate here already has some hint of spring.
Jiang Yanchuan changed the little guy into the navy blue robe that he had prepared long ago.
This was specifically requested by the young lady, who claimed that she wanted to wear clothes of the same color as her father.
The robe was a little thinner than before, and the boy looked a lot thinner and...
A lot more dexterous.
Jiang Yingcheng wrapped her hands and feet around her handsome father's legs, not letting him move at all.
"No, no matter what! Chengcheng wants to go too!!"
All the ministers present did not dare to speak. They looked around at the sky and the ground, but they did not dare to look in the direction of Emperor Mingze.
I wanted to bang my head against the wooden stake in the corner and fall asleep on the spot.
Jiang Yanchuan stood there with a blank face, letting the kid cry and groan, his expression did not change at all: "No."
"Sure!" Jiang Yingcheng retorted loudly.
That was a place where treasures were hidden. There were many winding chambers hidden inside. If she didn't go, what would she do if she missed some of them? !
Thinking of this, Jiang Yingcheng raised his head and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Yes!"
Jiang Yanchuan glanced at the little girl and tried to reason with her: "You are still too young. The situation in the mountains is complicated. If there is any danger——"
[Then Cheng Cheng can still use the points to help the uncles! ]
Jiang Yanchuan's words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
The court officials who could hear the young man's thoughts also had varying degrees of embarrassment on their faces.
I almost forgot that although the little guy is small, he is much more confident than these civil officials who can only become a burden in this situation...
The atmosphere was oddly stagnant for a while, and Jiang Yanchuan finally started to act rogue: "Anyway, I won't allow you to take risks in the mountains."
"How many of you are——"
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind everyone.
The visitor waved his folding fan and smiled: "Are you also here to look for treasure in Tuobi?"
