The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 94: Secret Treasure of the Former Dynasty

Mechanical Beasts.

The first shot was successfully fired.

In the following days, Lin Fan was busy developing various types of mechanical beasts and setting up traps throughout his estate, including warning mechanisms and lethal ones.

The servants in the estate were informed not to approach those areas and to be cautious.

If they didn't listen and accidentally triggered the traps, they couldn't blame anyone but themselves.

However, the servants who were able to stay in the estate were obedient and well-behaved, so such incidents did not occur. They followed their master's instructions diligently.

"Lin Fan, you even understand the art of mechanisms?"

Dao Miaomiao liked to stick close to Lin Fan and would always be by his side whenever she had free time.

Lin Fan didn't find it annoying and smiled in response, "Knowing a thing or two about mechanisms is normal for your husband, isn't it?"

"You're being modest. You've even set up traps in the estate that I dare not touch. How skilled are you in this?"

Dao Miaomiao felt that he was just brushing her off and couldn't help but speak in an annoyed tone.

"I really only know a thing or two."

Lin Fan nodded seriously. Isn't knowing a thing or two the pinnacle of technical expertise?

When others asked about Zhuge Liang's strategies, they would also say they only knew a thing or two.

This "knowing a thing or two" is the highest level, isn't it?

"You!"

Dao Miaomiao gritted her teeth but quickly smiled again, "Lin Fan, you're amazing. I've noticed that there are very few things you don't understand. The nourishing elixir you gave us a few days ago, after taking it for these two days, I feel much better, warm all over."

"Now you know that you have good taste, finding a treasure of a husband."

Lin Fan chuckled and lightly tapped her smooth forehead with his hand.

"That's for sure!"

Dao Miaomiao proudly raised her head.

"Alright, go play on the side. I need to adjust the mechanisms here."

Lin Fan waved his hand and continued to tinker with the support pillars in the corridor. It was a trap he had carefully set up.

"Hmph! I won't."

Dao Miaomiao pouted and refused to leave.

"I see that you're itching for a spanking."

Lin Fan couldn't let her get away with not listening.

Without another word, he put down what he was holding and directly held her down, spanking her.

...

Tianfeng County.

While Lin Fan was at home spanking his wife and making her obedient, many skilled individuals from the martial world gathered in a courtyard.

"Everyone came here with their own tasks. I won't waste any words. The Iron Blade Sect is here to gather information about the recent rumors and their depth."

A burly man with a big iron blade on his shoulder looked around at the crowd.

"Oh? I wonder how the Iron Blade Sect plans to gather information?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a thin old man with a hoarse voice, sounding like a broken bellows, asked. His voice made people feel very uncomfortable.

But no one dared to provoke him. It wasn't because the thin old man was particularly strong, but because he was skilled in poison. If one were to offend him, they might unknowingly be poisoned and not even know how they died.

"I didn't expect the esteemed senior of the Five Poison Valley to be here. It seems that the waves caused by this incident are even bigger than I imagined. Hehe! It's getting more and more interesting."

The man with the big blade didn't answer the question but smiled at the old man.

As for how they planned to gather information, it was related to their own plans and naturally wouldn't be easily revealed.

"Hmph!"

The thin old man also noticed this and coldly snorted, "The Thirteen Great Thieves have been defeated here, and it has also implicated the True Martial Fist Hall. The Town Martial Bureau has dispatched a large number of personnel. For the entire martial world, this is not a small event. Although the Five Poison Valley doesn't care much about worldly affairs, we are not ignorant!"

"Haha! I didn't expect the friend from the Five Poison Valley to be so well-informed."

The man with the big iron blade laughed heartily, as if they were having a pleasant conversation.

But perceptive people could tell that the two factions were not on good terms.

"Both of you don't need to say much. Everyone who came here knows about these things. I also think there's no need to communicate further. Let's rely on our own abilities."

Another man in a brocade robe stood up, looked coldly at the people in the courtyard, and then left with a few similarly dressed individuals.

"Not bad, let's rely on our own abilities."

Facing this situation, the others also nodded and left.

"Hmph!"

The man carrying a big knife glanced at the skinny old man and coldly followed the crowd.

In the field,

Soon, only an old man and a young boy were left.

"Master, why did all these martial arts experts from various sects come here, even though this place has caused a major incident in the martial arts world? What are they after?"

The young and inexperienced boy couldn't help but ask.

The old man, with white hair and looking somewhat frail, smiled and said, "Of course, they are here for the wealth left behind by the Thirteen Great Thieves, as well as the legendary treasure map that the Thirteen Great Thieves possessed."

"A treasure map?"

The young boy became even more curious upon hearing this.

The wealth of the Thirteen Great Thieves is not difficult to understand; after years of plundering, they must have accumulated a considerable fortune. But a treasure map? That puzzled him.

"Hehe, that's right. It is rumored that the previous dynasty once gathered all the martial arts in the world in an attempt to create a stronger martial arts system. Unfortunately, it ultimately failed. With the downfall of the previous dynasty, the location where all the martial arts were stored was lost. And this treasure map is the guide to that place."

The old man smiled as he explained.

"I see, no wonder."

After hearing this explanation, the young boy finally understood.

The white-haired old man didn't say anything more, but led the young boy towards another courtyard not far from this one.

This courtyard was the residence of the former leader of the Iron Gang, who had previously retired from the martial arts world.

In the corridor of the mansion,

After Lin Fan finished scolding his own wife, he continued to busy himself.

No matter what the situation outside was, as long as his own home was secure, there was no need to worry about anything.

As for the treasure map,

That was a secret matter for various parties, and he, who controlled the information, didn't know about it.

The items found on the Thirteen Great Thieves' bodies, besides some daily necessities, were just stacks of silver bills. There was nothing else.

Even if such a thing existed, considering the situation of the Thirteen Great Thieves, it would have to be handed over to the higher-ups.

The chance of keeping it for oneself was almost nonexistent. In fact, they might intentionally attract attention to facilitate the search for the real treasure.

But no matter what,

He wouldn't panic about it. If they weren't afraid of death, they could come.

Recently, Su Erhu had become addicted to searching corpses, which happened to satisfy his cravings.

It would be a waste not to use all the mechanisms he had set up.

Time passed like this.

When night fell, the mansion gradually became quiet.

Of course,

There was no quiet in Lin Fan's room. He was busy farming every day.

The several wives were all fertile fields. If they weren't properly taken care of every day, wouldn't it be a waste?

But elsewhere, it was quiet, especially outside the walls, where even the sound of insects was rare.

"This time, everyone can rely on their own abilities. Before that, I hope you all can exercise restraint."

Outside the quiet walls, a group of figures dressed in night clothes appeared at some point. The man with the big knife who had appeared before was also present and spoke up.

"That's how it should be!"

The words were quickly echoed. These people were the martial artists who had gathered during the day, and their purpose in coming here was self-evident.

There were no slogans.

After a brief exchange of words, each figure dressed in night clothes effortlessly leaped over the three-zhang-high wall like birds in flight.

The agile movements of these martial arts heroes were a perfect demonstration.

"Wuwuwu—"

At the moment they leaped over the wall, the sky suddenly rang out with the cry of a night owl. The sound made them feel unlucky, and they all exclaimed in frustration.

Little did they know,

This was actually a warning sound made by a mechanical bird in the sky using air currents.

And when the warning sound rang out, a switch in a certain place was slowly pulled down.
