We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Liu Xiaoyu's voice echoed in the quiet space, and his eyes were fixed on the ancient notebook in his hand, as if he had traveled through time and space and saw that distant story.

"It is said that after the decline of the family, the descendants of Meng Tian wandered to a mysterious deserted island. The huge treasure he left behind was hidden in the secret passage."

Liu Xiaoyu raised his head slightly, with a mysterious light flashing in his eyes, and continued: "This notebook also records in detail the method of opening the secret passage, as if waiting for the right person to uncover the mystery of the treasure that has been sealed for many years. But behind the treasure, there is a special requirement-the recipient must distribute it to the people of the world, and must not let it fall into the hands of corrupt officials, so that wealth can benefit the people, rather than encourage greed and corruption."

The soldiers on the side had already listened attentively, and the shock on their faces became stronger.

They have fought for many years and seen countless anecdotes, but such a story about mysterious treasures and family missions still set off huge waves in their hearts.

Liu Xiaoyu gently closed the notebook, frowned slightly, and said softly: "It's just that the things recorded in this notebook are very old, and it's hard to tell whether they are true or false. Maybe it's just a legend left by our ancestors."

A soldier couldn't suppress his curiosity and greed, and took the lead to speak: "If you want to know whether this matter is true or false, isn't it simple? We can find the treasure according to the method in the notebook."

His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. When the other soldiers heard it, their eyes also flashed with excitement.

Liu Xiaoyu took in the changes in everyone's expressions. He raised his eyebrows and said bluntly: "Why, do you want to take the treasure for yourself?"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting several soldiers blushing.

They did have such thoughts in their minds just now, and now they were exposed by Liu Xiaoyu, and they couldn't help feeling ashamed and flustered.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyu's tone became more serious.

"I warn you, don't think about it. The notes clearly say that the treasure is to be distributed to the people. If you don't listen, I believe disaster will come."

His voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable majesty. After hearing this, the greed in the hearts of several soldiers was instantly replaced by fear.

After a pause, Liu Xiaoyu said solemnly.

"We still have to find this treasure. If we give up the search, if a greedy person comes here in the future, it is hard to guarantee that he will not take the treasure for himself."

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Liu Xiaoyu then said: "After finding the treasure, we will hand it over to the prime minister for disposal. Let's see how the prime minister arranges it and let him decide the ownership and use of the treasure, so as to ensure that the instructions in the notes are followed and the treasure benefits the people instead of causing disasters."

According to the notes, everyone worked together to dig a hole in the designated depression.

After a while, there was a dull sound, and cracks began to appear on the wall, and then with a "crash", the wall broke apart.

Everyone could not wait to get closer, and saw several large boxes inside. The lids were opened, and they were full of gold, silver and jewelry, which still shone brightly in the dim light.

Seeing this, everyone's faces showed ecstatic expressions.

However, after a brief excitement, a difficult problem was placed in front of them.

At this time, after all the twists and turns along the way, there were only four people left in their group.

Liu Xiaoyu swept his eyes over the people one by one, and after a little thought, he made a decision.

He said to one of the soldiers, "You follow me and continue to explore. The remaining two brothers, I'll trouble you to guard these treasures here in case of any unexpected situation."

The soldier who was named responded immediately, with a firm look in his eyes, and the two soldiers who stayed behind also knew that guarding the treasure was a heavy responsibility, so they nodded and agreed, holding their weapons tightly, ready for battle.

On the other side, Wang Haipeng was half lying on the bed, his eyes seemed empty, but his mind was racing.

His wounds had gradually healed, and his physical strength had recovered by half, but when he thought of the treasure mentioned by the robbers, he decided to continue pretending to be weak.

Outside the tent, the footsteps and whispers of the soldiers came from time to time. He knew that if he got up at this moment, the soldiers would definitely come around to ask questions, and the secret of the treasure would probably be questioned endlessly.

He gritted his teeth, shrank back into the quilt, and deliberately put on a sick look on his face.

Luo Xiaoyu and Gan Mei saw an inn in the deepening night.

Luo Xiaoyu raised her hand and pointed, saying softly: "Madam, we are not far from our destination."

Gan Mei followed into the inn, looked around, and then sighed slightly.

"If it weren't for this, I would hardly go out."

Luo Xiaoyu just smiled faintly and asked for two rooms at the counter.

The two sat at a table in the corner of the lobby, and the waiter brought a simple meal.

Gan Mei poked the rice in the bowl and said: "Actually, it's good to go out for a walk."

Luo Xiaoyu replied: "Well, we will reach our destination tomorrow after a little more travel."

Gan Mei nodded gently, looking through the window at the blurry night outside, feeling both excited and a little uneasy about the place she was about to arrive.

Luo Xiaoyu ate silently, thinking about the various possibilities after arriving.

Dim lights fell on the table. Luo Xiaoyu and Gan Mei were eating when a middle-aged woman appeared in front of them without warning.

"Hey, this young man, and this lady, my surname is Lin, you can just call me Sister Lin." The woman had a warm smile on her face and a hearty voice.

Luo Xiaoyu raised her head, her eyes full of doubts, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Sister Lin, however, acted as if she had not heard anything and sat down in front of their table. She crossed her hands on the table and leaned forward slightly, with an irresistible enthusiasm.

Ganmei frowned slightly, with a hint of wariness in her eyes.

"I saw you two as soon as I entered this inn. You look like you have extraordinary temperament." Sister Lin first looked at Luo Xiaoyu, then looked at Gan Mei, "Madam is so gentle, and the young master is also a talented person. Yeah, where are you going?"

Luo Xiaoyu frowned and did not want to reveal the itinerary, but said perfunctorily: "Sister, we are just walking around casually, there is no specific place to go."

But Sister Lin seemed to have opened up her chatterbox and kept talking: "Oh, the world outside is so big. Sister, I have traveled all over the country and seen a lot of things. You have to be careful when you go out. On the road, I might encounter some trouble at some point.”

Luo Xiaoyu and Gan Mei looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes. They secretly speculated in their hearts what Sister Lin had planned, and coming together so enthusiastically made the already not easy journey even more complicated. measured variables.

Luo Xiaoyu was already very disgusted with Sister Lin's abrupt behavior. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, she lowered her face and said: "Sister Lin, we understand your kindness and we know it well. You'd better do it." ”

However, instead of getting up and leaving, Sister Lin moved closer and asked mysteriously in a lowered voice: "Sir, madam, do you want to be an official? Or do you have relatives or friends who want to enter the official career?"

Luo Xiaoyu and Gan Mei were both stunned. They did not expect that Sister Lin would suddenly ask such a question.

Luo Xiaoyu looked at Sister Lin warily and replied: "Sister, we are just ordinary travelers and have no interest in officialdom. You may have mistaken us."

Sister Lin smiled softly, and there seemed to be endless meaning hidden in that smile, "Young master, please don't hide anything from me. I come and go in this inn, and I have met countless people. Judging from your behavior and behavior, you are definitely not ordinary." A person who travels around the world. I have some knowledge in the capital. If you have any ideas in this regard, I may be able to help."

Luo Xiaoyu was about to have an attack when Ganmei winked at him quickly, then put a smile on her face and said to Sister Lin: "Sister, you misunderstood, he is my younger brother. If my younger brother really has the ambition to be an official , how can you help?"

When Sister Lin heard this, she became energetic and her chest beat loudly.

"Leave it to me! Don't underestimate me. I have a lot of connections in the capital. To be honest, I also know Mrs. Xiyu Ganmei. She is a very capable person. As long as I come forward, I can help you. With introductions and smooth connections, the road to officialdom will naturally be much smoother.”

Hearing this, Gan Mei and Luo Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Why do some people claim to know Gan Mei and use this relationship as a reason to start a conversation?

Ganmei forced herself to calm down and continued to deal with Sister Lin.

"Sister, you said you know Mrs. Ganmei, but what does that mean? Official affairs are never so easy."

Sister Lin didn't think so, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"Madam, you don't know something. I know the secrets involved. As long as you can trust me, everything can be easily discussed."

Gan Mei and Luo Xiaoyu fell into deeper confusion. They knew that in this foggy situation, they must be more cautious in order to deal with unknown dangers.

Sister Lin immediately said with excitement: "Sir, you also know that if you want to find a big official, I don't have the ability. But if you give me some currency and let me do the work, I can still get a small official position. No. To tell you the truth, quite a few people have come to me to do this recently. This opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you don’t know how long it will take.”

Luo Xiaoyu instantly understood the intention of Gan Mei's wink, which was to find out the details of Sister Lin.

So he pretended to be happy on his face and echoed: "Oh? This is a good thing. It's just that my brother and I are new here, and we don't know much about the details. Sister, can you tell us in detail who are looking for us? How do you operate it?

Sister Lin smiled proudly, pulled the chair closer, and said in a low voice: "The people who are looking for me come from all walks of life. There are rich businessmen who want to find a future for their children, and there are also down-and-out scholars. I'm just trying to make a comeback. As for me, I have a few close friends in the capital. As long as the money is available, they will make a recommendation at the right time, and the appointment of this junior official will be a matter of course. "

Luo Xiaoyu secretly thought to herself that Sister Lin was definitely not a simple person who was selling her official position so blatantly, and there might be bigger forces involved behind her.

He continued to ask: "Sister, what do the minor official positions you mentioned include? How should the price be calculated?"

Sister Lin stretched out her finger and listed them one by one: "The price of documents, registers, etc. in the county is about a few hundred taels of silver. If it is a more remote place, the price can be negotiated."

Ganmei also intervened at the right time.

"Sister, if you are so powerful, don't you just try to coax us siblings?"

Sister Lin suddenly became anxious.

"Madam, I haven't been in this inn for a day or two. I have a good reputation. How could I deceive you? If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."

Luo Xiaoyu and Gan Mei exchanged a look, and they both knew that the truth behind Sister Lin would probably take a lot of effort to be completely revealed.

Ganmei nodded slightly and said softly: "Sister, this is indeed a rare opportunity, but the matter is serious and my brother and I need to think about it carefully."

Sister Lin responded readily: "That's natural. You two, brother and sister, will discuss it slowly. You can rest in this inn tonight, and it won't be too late to tell me the result tomorrow morning."

Ganmei smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll trouble you, eldest sister. We will definitely give you an answer tomorrow."

Sister Lin smiled contentedly, stood up, left their table, and walked to other tables in the inn.

Luo Xiaoyu and Ganmei pretended to chat, but their eyes secretly followed Sister Lin.

She was seen chatting in low voices with other guests, her expressions vaguely similar in mystery and cunning, and she seemed to be planning the same thing.

After the two finished their meal, they hurried to the backyard.

Luo Xiaoyu couldn't wait to ask: "Mrs. Gan, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Ganmei's willow eyebrows stood upright, her face full of anger.

"I have never met that old woman, and yet she acted so blatantly in my name! If I had been living in seclusion, I would have been kept in the dark and had no idea that there was such a ridiculous thing in this world."

Luo Xiaoyu frowned slightly and analyzed: "Or maybe there is a force behind her supporting her, making her feel confident."

Ganmei was pacing in place, furious.

"No matter what, we must not allow her to act recklessly. I must find out her details and expose her scam to prevent more innocent people from being deceived."

Luo Xiaoyu frowned and analyzed slowly: "Madam, do you think Sister Lin's behavior is related to Wang Henghua who made things difficult for us at the checkpoint? Maybe Wang Henghua and you are not acquainted, and it is because of you. Acting in the name of."

Ganmei shook her head gently, her expression solemn.

"It's still unclear what the entanglement is. Then Wang Henghua set up a jam to stop her, and now Sister Lin appears again and mentions her official position and claims to know me. It's really strange. If there is really a connection, there may be a carefully planned conspiracy behind them. Conspiracy, we have to be more careful.”

Luo Xiaoyu nodded in agreement: "Yes, no matter what, let's start with Sister Lin first and see if we can follow the clues and find out the truth."

Ganmei gritted her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Xiaoyu, I think it's better to knock Sister Lin unconscious directly, and then take her to find my husband. My husband is well-informed and will be able to handle this matter properly."

Luo Xiaoyu thought for a moment and then responded: "That's fine. Since Madam has this plan, I should obey her orders. After meeting Sister Lin tomorrow morning, I will act according to the plan and knock her out and take her away. Just... During this process, you also need to pay attention to the people around the inn so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. "

Ganmei nodded slightly: "This is natural. We need to be cautious in our actions and never lose the big for the small. After solving the matter of Sister Lin, we can continue our trip with peace of mind and find my husband as soon as possible."

In the long secret passage, Liu Xiaoyu and the soldier groped their way forward, their footsteps echoing in the cramped space.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light finally appeared in front of them. They quickened their pace, and at the end of the secret passage, a ladder stood impressively.

Liu Xiaoyu's face was filled with joy and she couldn't hide her excitement and said: "Great, it's finally come to an end!"

The soldier also looked relieved, took a deep breath and said, "Yes, we are about to go out."

After that, Liu Xiaoyu took the lead in stepping onto the ladder, holding the steps firmly with both hands, and climbed up step by step.

The soldiers followed closely behind, watching their surroundings with vigilant eyes.

The ladder was a bit old and made a slight creaking sound with each step, which was particularly clear in the silence.

As they continued upward, the exit above them got closer and closer, and the light became more intense.

Liu Xiaoyu and the soldiers climbed hard along the ladder and finally reached the top.

A large but dilapidated abandoned temple appeared in front of me. The temple was deserted and filled with spider webs.

Liu Xiaoyu got out of the secret passage and found that it was already dawn outside.

"It seems that this is the boundary of Youzhou." Liu Xiaoyu said softly, looking around with a trace of exploration in his eyes.

The soldiers beside him nodded in agreement.

"Now that we're here, it's better to go out and ask the locals about the situation. Maybe we can get some useful information."

After Liu Xiaoyu thought for a moment, he nodded decisively.

The two walked out of the abandoned temple cautiously, feeling the coolness of the morning blowing against their faces.

Outside the temple is a winding path, surrounded by well-proportioned residential buildings. Smoke has just risen from the chimneys, adding a bit of smoke and smoke to this unfamiliar land.

Liu Xiaoyu and the soldiers hurriedly stepped into a quiet village.

In the village, a family was selling breakfast amid the smoke.

There were only a few diners at this time, so the two of them walked straight into the store. The owner was an old man in his sixties. Seeing a stranger come to the door so early, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, the old man soon greeted him warmly.

"Good morning, gentlemen! Please come in. What breakfast would you like to try?" His face was full of smiles, and he did not show any disrespect to them because of their unfamiliar identities.

Liu Xiaoyu smiled politely and said, "Old man, please give us some of your special food." (End of this chapter)
