Chapter 95 Where did the other half of the treasure go?
Liu Yuan and his two little guys jumped back and barely avoided it.
"You didn't check the almanac before going out, what you fear will come true."
Liu Yuan suddenly felt that with such a bad mouth, he could go to the street to tell fortunes and his predictions would always come true.
"There's more." Xiao Mingxuan looked at the shadow on the wall behind him and said.
"You really lack virtue." Liu Yuan leaned lazily against the pillar behind him and did not move.
"Uncle Weird, why aren't you moving?" Xihe huddled to one side, quietly sticking out half of his head.
Liu Yuan yawned and replied, "I'm lazy and don't want to move."
"But... they want to kill us." The little girl said timidly.
"So I have a faster way." Liu Yuan curled the corners of his lips and smiled brightly, completely ignoring the killers who were sharpening their knives and rushing towards them.
"What method?" Xihe asked.
Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled back. Xiao Mingxuan's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
"Idiot Xu! I'm being surrounded! Help!" Liu Yuan roared at the top of his lungs, stirring up the dust on the ground.
Xiao Mingxuan: "..."
In just three breaths, when the killers around started to move, Xu Qingcheng in front had already arrived.
"Stand back." Xu Qingcheng stood in front, left a word and then went forward to fight with the group of people.
Liu Yuan retreated while holding the two children in his arms, shouting, "Xu the fool! Leave them alive."
"knew."
It was hard for Xu Qingcheng to face seven or eight killers alone and still have the energy to answer Liu Yuan's questions.
Liu Yuan found an open space and put the two kids down. He took out some sunflower seeds from his waist bag and gave each of them a handful. "It'll probably take a while. Come on, eat some sunflower seeds."
Xihe followed suit and squatted on the ground to start eating, not seeming unfamiliar at all.
Xiao Mingxuan held a handful of melon seeds and fell silent as he watched the two people talking and laughing leisurely.
"Why haven't the eldest brother and the second brother come out?" The little girl looked around for several times but couldn't find her brothers. It seemed that only the fifth uncle came out.
"Maybe there really is treasure inside, and the two princes are watching." Although he said this, doubts arose in Liu Yuan's heart.
The appearance of this group of people also confirmed his guess. Someone had indeed arrived here before them and ambushed them. But since they had come, why didn't they touch the treasure? Instead, it seemed more like they were coming for them.
He raised his head and took a sip of wine. When he turned around, he met Xihe's eager gaze. He couldn't help but feel a little amused in his heart, "Why? You want to drink?"
The little girl nodded quickly.
Liu Yuan smiled, then his face suddenly fell, "No! Think about it."
Xihe pursed his lips, exhaled through his nose, and muttered, "Weird uncle, big bad guy."
Liu Yuan laughed so hard that his body swayed slightly. He lost his balance and fell backwards. Xu Qingcheng, who had just finished a fight, came over and grabbed him.
"Be careful. You're an adult, and you can't even stand steadily?" Xu Qingcheng helped the man steady himself before removing his hand.
Liu Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly and nodded towards the inside, "What's going on in there? Is there really treasure?"
Xu Qingcheng nodded, "Yes, but... it seems the number doesn't match."
"?" Liu Yuan frowned, "Did they move part of it away?"
Xu Qingcheng looked at the people tied up not far away and nodded slightly, "It should be them. After all, they were the only ones who came before us."
"Well, we'll find out after we go and try it." Liu Yuan threw away the melon seeds, tied the wine bottle, and walked forward with a swagger. After taking two steps, he seemed to sense something and turned back and said, "Little guy, follow me."
Xihe finished her share of melon seeds, stared at the melon seeds in Xiao Mingxuan's hand, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
“…”
Xiao Mingxuan handed the melon seeds in his hand to the little girl, which made her smile happily. Then he skipped over to her.
"Tell me, why are you killing us? Who asked you to come? Where is the stuff hidden inside?"
Xu Qingcheng found a chair from somewhere, and it was now under Liu Yuan's butt.
Of the eight killers, Xu Qingcheng killed five and left only three alive.
The three of them looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.
"You won't say anything, right?" Liu Yuan sneered and took out a dagger from his waist. The bright blade slid slowly across the opponent's face. Just as the skin was broken and a little blood came out, Liu Yuan's movement suddenly stopped.
He glanced back at the two brats, "tsk," and gave Xiao Mingxuan a look, "You two, hide behind the back, cover your ears, and don't look. Do you hear me?"
The following scene was too bloody, and Liu Yuan secretly didn't want to leave any psychological trauma on the two little guys.
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at the trembling killer, nodded, and hugged Xihe in his arms, walking towards the model in the back, "Got it."
Just in case, Xu Qingcheng pressed the mute points of the three people to ensure that no matter what happened, the other party would not be able to make a sound.
The two little guys were sitting behind the model. Xihe tried to sneak a peek over there several times, but was pulled back by Xiao Mingxuan without a word.
"Don't look at it, or I'll beat you up if you look again." Xiao Mingxuan took a bite of the fruit and said coldly.
The other party held her arms tightly. Seeing that she couldn't break free, Xihe let him go. "Little brother, you have to be gentler. That way girls will like you."
Xiao Mingxuan paused, glanced at him with a half-smile, and asked, "Are you annoying?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Xihe denied it quickly, extremely sincerely.
"That's enough." Xiao Mingxuan finished eating a fruit, snatched a piece of cake from the little girl's arms, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
As for the others, he didn't care at all.
"Little brother, where do you think the other half of the treasure went?" Xihe was bored and couldn't calm down, so he pulled Xiao Mingxuan to discuss the whereabouts of the treasure.
Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a while, then after a little thought, he said, "Maybe in the mountains."
They'd captured Jiang Zhongguo less than a month earlier. Jiangnan was heavily guarded, making it impossible for him to be evacuated. Furthermore, the rain in Jiangnan had only occurred in the past few days, and the mud on the boulders had been disturbed, indicating that the group had only recently received the news.
Since they could not be transported out, they could only stay in the Jiangnan area, and the only place that was not guarded by soldiers was Yuanfeng Mountain behind the dense forest.
The time and distance are suitable.
"You have a pretty good brain, kid."
At some point, the conversation over there ended. Liu Yuan leaned against the model with his arms folded, his lips curled up slightly with a hint of a smile. "You guessed right. The thing is in the back mountain. To prevent us from finding it, they actually sold the official salary to the bandits."
