Half an hour later, Fang Boshan rushed over, much earlier than the agreed time.
"Three lords, have you been waiting for a long time?" Fang Boshan was panting and looked panicked. He ran as fast as he could on the way back, even faster than when he passed the imperial examination.
"It's okay." Wang Xiaohai came back to his senses and looked at the ragged county magistrate. He hadn't changed his clothes and shoes in a hurry, and the whip marks were faintly visible. "Let your Mi country's priest take you to the sky. You help show the way, and Silver Hair and I will follow behind."
Fang Boshan finally realized that the red-haired man was actually the Mi Country's tribute. Although he had heard since he was a child that the tribute had red hair, there were quite a lot of people with red hair in this country, so he had never expected this. After hearing what Wang Xiaohai said, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed ten times to the tribute: "Master, I didn't know you were here. I apologize for my neglect!"
All countries in the Northern Continent have a rule: one must kowtow nine times when meeting the emperor, and ten times when meeting an offering.
The red-haired priest immediately grabbed Fang Boshan and flew into the sky.
The group of four flew quickly towards Yanwei Mountain.
Although the Swallow Tail Mountains are located at the border of Mi Country and Gong Country, they are still within the territory of Mi Country. The vast mountain range is rarely inhabited, and only some brave hunters from nearby dare to go hunting in the mountains. However, they dare not go too deep because there are often very dangerous wild beasts. It is said that there are powerful beasts in the Jinwu realm in the depths, and hunters who enter its territory will die!
Wang Xiaohai felt that Fang Boshan actually brought the constable to such a dangerous place in order to chase the fugitive. You have to know that Fang Boshan is just a nerd and is powerless. Wang Xiaohai admires him.
"Where is the location the fugitive mentioned?" Wang Xiaohai asked first after the four people landed.
The red-haired priest looked a little unnatural. The nameless peak in front was exactly where he hid his treasure. But how did this thief dig up his treasure? His treasure was protected by a formation.
What the red-haired priest didn't know was that because the formation had been running for decades, it was no longer as confidential and consistent as before, and there was a jam. Then, under the pressure of running the formation, a gap formed in the jammed area, which was just enough for the tomb robber's body to drill in.
Fang Boshan pointed to a small hill vaguely visible in front of him, which was exactly the treasure hiding place of Red Hair.
"That's it?" Wang Xiaohai said, "Are you sure you're not seeing things?"
"I've confirmed it ten times." Fang Boshan replied.
"It's strange that this tomb robber only stole once and didn't continue to empty the treasure house?" said Wang Xiaohai.
"Sir, this is what happened. I asked the tomb robber, and he said that when he drilled the hole for the second time, he was blocked outside by a force and couldn't get in," said Fang Boshan.
"Oh, that's probably because there was a formation originally, and then a loophole appeared in it, which happened to let the tomb robbers get in." Wang Xiaohai reasoned, "Then they wanted to go in again to steal, but because the interval was too long, the formation automatically repaired itself."
Although Wang Xiaohai didn't know whether what he said was correct, the red-haired priest was shocked - he thought that this inspector was so smart and his reasoning was completely in line with the facts. It turned out that there was a reason why he could become an inspector!
Wang Xiaohai was hesitating. He was analyzing whether this was the royal treasure. If it was the royal treasure of Mi Country, it would be difficult to get. For the sake of his savior Lin Yiyi, he had to be a good person in Beixingzhou. Not a completely good person, but a relatively good person. He would not be a good person who would go against Bai Yugong. The definition of a good person in Beixingzhou is not to go against Bai Yugong.
While they were pondering, a group of people walked past the four of them noisily. Each of them was strong and carried two wooden boxes on their shoulders. They walked past unsteadily. It seemed that the things in the wooden boxes were quite heavy.
Leading the group were two men wearing the standard armor of the imperial palace guards, with long swords on their waists, supervising the group.
"What are you guys doing?" Wang Xiaohai had a hunch that these people were transporting valuables to the mountain ahead where treasures were hidden.
"Pushers, get out of the way and don't meddle in other people's business!" The palace guard drew his sword and cursed.
The red-haired priest suddenly felt something was wrong.
"I can't even ask, is this place yours?" Wang Xiaohai said.
"This place is neither mine nor yours. Do you know what we are doing?" The palace guards said something that made the red-haired priest's bad premonition come true. "We are helping the priest transport treasures!"
The red-haired priest rubbed his forehead. He wanted to chop the bastard in two with a single blow. Didn't the guy see him standing right next to him? Then he thought, "I don't think he would recognize me if he saw me. After all, even the princes and dukes in the palace rarely saw him, let alone these guards who went out specifically to protect him."
"Are you helping the emperor transport the treasures?" Wang Xiaohai's eyes lit up. "Aren't these the emperor's treasures?"
"Of course it's not the Emperor's, idiot!" the palace guard cursed. "The Emperor's treasures are all hidden in the treasury. Only treasures dedicated to him are hidden elsewhere. I heard that this is to avoid searches by law enforcement agencies."
The red-haired priest could no longer hold back after hearing this. He shouted loudly and threw away the jade in his hand. The jade light was like lightning and directly penetrated the guard's forehead. Blood flowed out. The palace guard was at the Qingwu realm and had no time to react. He fell straight down.
Seeing this, another palace guard shouted and rushed towards the red-haired priest with his sword drawn. After taking two steps, his face suddenly changed and he knelt on the ground: "Priest, please spare me, I didn't see it was you just now!" He kowtowed while shouting. He had seen the priest's portrait, and although he might never meet him in his life, he was a cautious person and still memorized his appearance. Sure enough, this action saved his life.
The red-haired priest snorted coldly and ignored him. Things had come to this point. He had already killed the talkative guard and the situation was irreversible.
"So this treasure is your dirty silver? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wang Xiaohai said to the red envelope offering in a surprised manner, "Are you afraid that if you told me, I would take your gold, silver and jewelry? But I'm telling you clearly, I won't take a single ounce of your silver."
Hope ignited in the red-haired priest's heart again—
Then, Wang Xiaohai's next words extinguished his hope: "I won't take your silver, but I will help Bai Yugong keep this dirty silver. When the opportunity arises, I will hand it over to the palace."
The red-haired man thought that the right opportunity this guy was talking about might be tens of millions of years later. He had to find such a high-sounding excuse for robbing someone openly!
Wang Xiaohai's giant palm appeared and grabbed the mountain in the air.
"boom--"
The mountain shattered, and the giant palm treated the formation as nothing, grabbing the gold, silver and jewelry in the mountain in its hand and quickly taking them back.
Wang Xiaohai opened the storage ring and put all the gold and silver treasures into it without leaving a single one.
