Chapter 849, disappeared out of thin air
Daohua waited in the space for quarter of an hour, and silently calculated that there should be no one around the box, so she flashed out of the space. As soon as she came out, she was dazzled by the white silver.
Before she could be shocked, because of her sudden appearance, the lid of the box was lifted up, and the silver in the box was pushed out and fell to the ground with a "clatter".
The loud noise scared Daohua so much that she looked around quickly. Seeing that there was no one around, she breathed a sigh of relief and climbed out of the box quickly.
This was an empty tomb chamber filled with about twenty boxes.
Daohua opened the box and took a look. Most of the box was filled with white silver, and the rest was filled with golden bars.
"No wonder Xiao Yechi risked his life to return to Beijing."
If it were her, she would have to come back and move all the gold and silver away.
Daohua checked the silver and gold bars and saw that there were no marks on them. She rolled her eyes and then put the boxes into the space at the speed of light.
Xiao Yeyang should be bringing people here soon. These gold and silver can be considered as rewards for her helping to find the treasure.
With this reason, I felt very at ease when harvesting rice flowers.
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
Hearing the noise coming from the west entrance of the tomb, Daohua immediately hid behind the east entrance of the tomb. As soon as she hid, she heard a shrill scream.
“Ah~”
"Where's the box?"
Several people rushed into the tomb and looked at each other in confusion.
"Did you carry it out?"
"Did you transport it away?"
These people are divided into two groups, one is the third prince's people, and the other is the Jiang family's people.
At this moment, both sides looked at each other with suspicion.
"Our people are still loading the jewels inside, how can we have time to move them out?"
"That's strange, where did the box go?"
"We have people at the entrance of the mausoleum. We can find out if we go up and ask whether it has been moved out."
Feeling that those people were walking towards the entrance of the tomb where she was, Daohua quickly hid behind the sarcophagus next to her. After the people left, she stood up and began to explore inside.
The underground mausoleum was built on a very large scale, with crisscrossing passages. Walking inside, Daohua felt like walking in a maze. The deeper she went, the clearer she could hear the "bang bang bang" sound of things being moved.
Daohua followed the sound and came to the door of a tomb that was several times larger than the one where the box was placed.
Looking at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in the tomb pit, Daohua's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide.
"Poverty limits my imagination!"
Daohua looked in amazement at the twenty or so strong men in the tomb who were quickly piling gold, silver and jewelry into the box.
“What a pity!”
Can see, can't get.
Daohua regretfully withdrew her gaze, not daring to disturb the people inside, and turned to walk towards the other place where the noise came from.
Soon, the rice flowers found the source of the sound.
More than a dozen strong men were struggling to open a tomb door.
"Who's there?!"
Suddenly, a scolding came from behind. Daohua turned around and saw a middle-aged man who looked like a manager looking at her in shock and anger.
Without saying a word, Daohua ran into the tomb next door.
"Come quickly, someone has sneaked in, catch him!"
Daohua shuttled quickly in the tomb. When she saw a wide-open sarcophagus, she prepared to get in without thinking and hide in the space.
However, as soon as his legs stepped into the sarcophagus, someone held down his shoulders.
Daohua's heart tightened, and she raised her hand to scatter the soft scriptures in her hand.
"It's me!"
When the familiar voice reached her ears, Daohua's panicked heart suddenly calmed down. She turned around and saw Xiao Yeyang looking at her worriedly.
“You’re here!”
Daohua hugged Xiao Yeyang in surprise.
Xiao Yeyang carried Daohua out of the sarcophagus, looked her up and down, and after confirming that she was fine, his tense expression relaxed.
At this time, the people who were chasing Daohua arrived.
"Xiao Yeyang, they want to arrest me."
Daohua quickly complained, then swiftly hid behind Xiao Yeyang. At the same time, she scattered the softening powder in her hand.
Looking at the powder in the air, Xiao Yeyang quickly took a few steps back while holding Daohua to avoid being accidentally injured.
Several people rushed in too fast, inhaled the powder, and collapsed to the ground on the spot.
The manager ignored his fallen subordinates and when he saw Xiao Yeyang, a look of fear flashed across his eyes, and then he ran away.
"Aren't you going to chase her?"
Seeing the manager and his men disappear in the blink of an eye, Daohua couldn't help but look at Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang: "This place has been surrounded by Jinling Guards. They can't escape. I will take you out now."
Daohua showed hesitation and pulled Xiao Yeyang's sleeve: "There are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in here."
Seeing that Daohua didn't look frightened at all, but was still thinking about the gold, silver and jewelry, Xiao Yeyang's heart was completely put back into his stomach, and he said with a smile:
"Don't worry, if I see any good jewelry, I'll keep it for you. Now let's get out of here quickly. There are several landslides in this abandoned imperial tomb, so it's not safe here."
After hearing this, Daohua nodded quickly: "Then don't stay here, come back with me, I'm scared." As she said that, she put her arms around Xiao Yeyang's neck and motioned him to carry her out.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and picked the man up: "Alright, leave the matters here to the commander, and we will go back to the mansion to deal with our own affairs."
Daohua looked puzzled: "My own business?"
The smile on Xiao Yeyang's face turned cold. "Do you think it's possible to kidnap you in the palace without someone helping you from inside or outside?"
Daohua's eyes suddenly widened: "Is there someone in the palace who wants to harm me? Xiao Yechen or Concubine Jiang?" As she spoke, she hurriedly mentioned the third prince.
"The Third Prince sent people to capture me. I hid in a box when they weren't paying attention. I was waiting for them to leave so I could escape, but I didn't expect to be transported here."
Xiao Yeyang's face darkened. "I think the Third Prince is really determined to go down this path. If the Emperor's uncle knew that he and the Jiang family worked together to dig for treasure, he would never be able to turn things around in the future."
As he spoke, he shook the rice flowers and looked at her helplessly.
"You, I really don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky. If you say you are unlucky, you led us to find the treasure; if you say you are lucky, you were knocked unconscious and kidnapped."
Daohua sighed: "Who knows."
Xiao Yeyang's expression turned serious: "Even in the future, even if you are in the palace, you must bring plum blossoms, orchids, plum blossoms and chrysanthemums with you."
Daohua said "hmm": "I understand." After this incident, she didn't dare to be careless anymore.
Prince Ping's Mansion.
Gao Yuan and Gao Fang were extremely terrified when they learned that Defu and his men had found the two maids they had buried.
The master teamed up with the third prince to kidnap the Crown Princess. If the Crown Prince knew about this, they didn't know what the master would do, but they would definitely die.
Xiao Yechen glanced at the two of them and said, "Look at your useless behavior. What's the use of finding the body of the maid? You didn't leave any clues. Xiao Yeyang can't find anything on you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid came in to report, "Master, the prince is back."
