Time passed little by little, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

Guessed wrong?

Just when he was about to take back his palm, a miracle happened.

A pebble suddenly appeared in his hand.

Mo An and Xue Bing looked at each other, both stunned by this scene, standing there like blocks of wood.

You know, Miss Yan didn't respond to the second prince for a long time, and Mo An had already overturned his previous guess.

"Okay." Xuanyuan Qing breathed out a sigh of relief.

It's good that she's here!

If he couldn't find her, he could dig up the ground three feet deep.

"Yanyan, what happened?" Why can't I see you?

He held the stone in his hand tightly and asked softly.

As he expected, she didn't answer.

"Can't speak?" He chuckled helplessly, "It doesn't matter, just follow my brother."

"Stop eating randomly." Finally, he added.

Only she and the mouse ate the red fruit here. It was probably for this reason that they became invisible.

"No, brother."

A sweet voice sounded from his left ear, and Xuanyuan Qing's figure trembled, and he looked sideways slightly.

The pear dimples on the girl's clean and sweet face seemed to be the most beautiful scenery in the world.

"Brother, the red fruit is not poisonous, but it can make Yanyan invisible."

"Yan Yan went to a place where there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Brother, do you want to go and have a look?"

She automatically omitted the credit of the big mouse and described all the discoveries as her own experience.

It's not that she can't tell him, she's just afraid that he will treat her as a monster.

Who would believe she could communicate with animals?

She glanced apologetically at the invisible big mouse squatting at her feet, grabbed Xuanyuan Qing's sleeve and said seriously: "No matter how Yan Yan called me brother at that time, my brother couldn't hear what Yan Yan said. Yan Yan was anxious. My brother defeated the big insect, Yan Yan was happy, but he accidentally discovered a place, and he was late when he came back, so his brother was worried."

In fact, the big mouse took her to that place.

It was because the big mouse ate one of her fruits and wanted to thank her.

And she came back late, which made Xuanyuan Qing worry for so long in vain. He only found out how to show up after asking the big mouse.

"A fruit that can make you invisible, awesome!" Mo An couldn't help but marvel.

If he could become invisible while performing a mission, wouldn't he get twice the result with half the effort?

pity.

He glanced at the place where the big tree had fallen. All the fruits were rotten.

"After working on it for a long time, it turns out it's not poisonous."

Xue Bing was as sorry as Mo An. It would have been better if he hadn't been so afraid of death.

Thinking that he had picked up so many fruits but not tasted one, he regretted that his intestines were green.

"Take brother to the place Yan Yan said."

Xuanyuan Qing thought of the peach blossom mark on the stone wall, and intuitively felt that the gold and silver jewelry hidden here were closely related to Xuanyuan Zhengcheng.

"Okay, brother, let's go this way."

Lan Jinyan jumped up and led the way, in a very good mood.

"Let me tell you, there are not only treasures there, but also many dead people. Some only have bones left, and some still have flesh bodies. Don't be scared."

Xue Bing's complexion no longer looked good as he listened.

Could his uncle be among those corpses?

Lan Jinyan walked to an inconspicuous stone wall and stopped, squatted down, and pressed hard on the foot of the wall. The stone wall slowly rose.

A strong rotten smell mixed with musty smell hit their faces. They were so smoked that they covered their mouths and noses and even breathed carefully.

They didn't dare step in until the pungent smell dissipated.

"Yan Yan, didn't you say you came in?" Xuanyuan Qing asked seemingly casually.

"Yes." Lan Jinyan replied without thinking.

Xuanyuan Qing and Mo An looked at each other and said nothing.

The stench just now was clearly caused by the accumulation of no one coming in for a long time.

How did she get in?

Boxes of various sizes, large and small, were neatly placed throughout the stone room, and some were piled to the top of the room.

Basically every box was filled with all kinds of jewelry, and some of them couldn't even close the lids, so they were just left open.

Xuanyuan Qing picked up a gold ingot from the nearest box, turned it over and looked at it, and his calm face suddenly changed.

He looked at the jewelry in different boxes one after another, his deep eyes implying deep research.

These are the materials and silver that the imperial court has spent on the reconstruction of Xichuan in the past two years from the treasury.

Xuanyuan Zhengcheng was so brave that he dared to get involved in taking advantage of the treasury.

He just said that with Xuanyuan Lingfeng's temperament, it was impossible to achieve such a big picture. It turned out to be Xuanyuan Zhengcheng's assistance.

This place has the mark of Peach Blossom Seal, which means that the things here are inherited by Xuanyuan Zheng.

So what about Xuanyuan Lingfeng?

"Yanyan, is this the only place?"

After asking, Xuanyuan Qing realized that he was stupid.

She was able to discover this place only by luck, so how could she know where Xuanyuan Lingfeng's things were hidden.

Seeing his serious expression, Lan Jinyan thought it was a very important matter and secretly winked at the big rat who was following him.

After receiving a positive response, Lan Jinyan smiled innocently, with a bit of arrogance in her eyebrows.

"I don't know, but Yan Yan saw that there is a road leading down there, so I don't know if it is."

She pointed to a passage opposite the door of the stone chamber. Xuanyuan Qing immediately understood and was about to walk out.

"Uncle, uncle..."

As soon as Xue Bing came in, his full attention was attracted by one of the corpses on the ground.

He walked over tremblingly, his lips trembling slightly, and he called out a few times with difficulty.

The man on the ground had just died not long ago, and his body was not completely stiff. One of his arms was torn off, and the fracture was so horrific that it was enough to imagine how tragic the situation was at that time.

"Brother Xue, is he your uncle?"

Seeing how uncomfortable he was, Lan Jinyan knelt down next to him, raised her hand and patted his back gently.

She didn't know how to comfort people, but every time she was punished by Yin's mother, Fu Rui would pat her on the back like this.

Therefore, she thought Xue Bing would feel better by doing this.

"Yes." Xue Bing nodded heavily.

Seeing his depressed and uncomfortable look, Xuanyuan Qing thought for a moment and ordered Mo An: "Mo An, please help him carry the deceased up first."

There was an irresistible tone in his voice, and Mo An could only nod in agreement.

After the explanation, Xuanyuan Qing pulled Lan Jinyan out of the stone room and walked into the secret passage on the opposite side.

The passage was winding and narrow, and as the two walked side by side, they could hear each other's breathing.

"Yan Yan, are you hiding something from your brother?" Xuanyuan Qing led her around a corner, his tone was so light that no one could tell his emotions.

"Brother?" Lan Jinyan was startled and lowered her head guiltily.

As if he didn't notice, he held her hand tighter and said slowly: "Brother won't force you. I hope that what you conceal will not cause trouble to brother."

Xuanyuan Qing stopped, put his hands on her thin shoulders, and asked seriously: "Do you know?"
