Black Owl looked at Ji Fengming with a complicated expression, unsure of what to say.
Ji Fengming, stroking his chin, continued speaking to himself, "How about... we do it tonight..."
Before he could finish speaking, he shook his head again: "Well, let's not go. You can't take the girls there seriously."
After a while, he muttered to himself again, "Actually, it's worth a try."
Black Owl: "..."
He was completely petrified;
I just watched him and listened to him talking to himself from beginning to end.
Ji Chenhai returned after delivering the message to the Vulture Stronghold. He happened to be passing by Ji Fengming's room with his hands behind his back when he heard Ji Fengming's words, and his face immediately lit up with joy.
This kid finally realized he misses girls!
Now that's great! Those girls who weren't brought together before can now be told to their wives to arrange things for this guy!
Thinking this, Ji Chenhai immediately turned back, quickly wrote a note, and released a carrier pigeon back to Vulture Village.
After returning from the court, Duke Chen, along with Chen Shiyu and dozens of trusted bodyguards, went to Chen Family Village to open the secret treasury and extract some gold and silver to help the Crown Prince in his time of need.
By taking Chen Shiyu to the secret vault, he was essentially announcing to the Chen family members that Chen Shiyu would be the future head of the Chen family.
Although Chen Shiyu disdained the position of family head, he was still somewhat curious about the Chen family's secret treasury.
He wondered to himself that the Chen family might have accumulated some things that the man would be interested in over the generations.
His return from the Northwest this time was truly disgraceful, and he didn't have any suitable gifts on hand. If he could pick out one or two items from the secret vault, it would be just the right thing to do in his time of need.
When the people of Chenjiazhuang heard that Duke Chen was going back to the village to open the secret treasury, they thought that Duke Chen's mansion was going to deposit money into the secret treasury again. They slaughtered pigs and sheep, and with gongs and drums announcing the arrival of heaven and earth, the whole village went to the village entrance to welcome him, making it as if it were New Year's Day. They were extremely happy.
Duke Chen didn't know what to say to these people.
Anyway, he controls the secret vault, and only he knows whether to take it or leave it.
He patiently dealt with the tribespeople until nightfall.
Duke Chen dismissed everyone, stationed a large number of soldiers to guard the ancestral hall, took out three keys to open the secret vault, and led Chen Shiyu and dozens of assassins along the road into the ancestral hall.
They approached the first arrow trap.
Chen Shiyu found a poisoned arrow with its arrowhead twisted on the ground. He bent down to pick it up, frowned, and turned around to ask, "Father, why is there an arrow here?"
Duke Chen felt a chill run down his spine:
Could someone have come in already?
He took two quick steps forward and saw that the sides of the passage ahead were indeed covered with arrows, and the trap at the end of the passage that was meant to launch hidden arrows had been forcibly destroyed!
"broken!"
The Duke of Chen's voice trembled as he rushed forward at the fastest speed he had ever seen.
Chen Shiyu knew things were going badly, so he and the group of assassins behind him followed at full speed.
Suddenly, the Duke of Chen, who was running at the front, stopped abruptly.
Chen Shiyu, who was following closely behind, almost bumped into his back. He moved aside slightly and looked at the long passage ahead. He saw that the long passage was extremely messy, with countless empty boxes scattered everywhere, and occasionally a gold or silver ingot was left on the ground.
"No, this isn't real..."
Duke Chen staggered forward, walked to the door of the first stone chamber, and peered inside through the open stone door.
Inside the stone chamber, rows of tall shelves were completely empty, and piles of empty boxes lay scattered on the ground beneath them.
"Ugh—Pfft!" Duke Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood, his hand trembling as he pointed towards the end of the corridor: "Look...quick, look..."
