The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Qu Xiaoyou did not follow immediately, but instead, holding a sword that was shining with cold light, she walked step by step towards Ren Qiaoqian and her daughter who were huddled in the corner.

The joints of her hands holding the sword turned white from the force, and her eyes were filled with terrifying murderous intent. Without saying a word, she frightened Ren Qiaoqian and her daughter to death.

"no no……"

Ren Qiaoqian sat on the ground and tried desperately to back away. Extreme fear crawled up to her heart like an icy poisonous snake, and her body shook violently as if it had been struck by electricity.

“No… don’t kill me, I… ah!!”

Before Ren Qiaoqian could finish her beg for mercy, the sword in Qu Xiaoyou's hand had already pierced her chest.

Ren Qiaoqian's eyes widened and blood gushed out from the corners of her mouth. She died in a short while.

Qu Xiaoyou didn't even frown as he pulled out the sword stained with blood, and looked at the pale-faced Ren Xiaole with bloodthirsty eyes.

"Sister!" Ren Xiaole knelt down in front of her with a plop. He grabbed Qu Xiaoyou's skirt with trembling hands and looked up at her with tears in his eyes.

"Sister, Dad and Mom did bad things, they deserved to die, but I am innocent! I have never done anything to let you down, and it is not my wish to join the Qu family!"

Qu Xiaoyou stopped raising the sword again, and she had to admit that she was right.

Although Ren Xiaole is a bit of a green tea person, he did not participate in the arson case that year. Even if he is suspected of knowing about it and not reporting it, he does not deserve the death penalty.

Qu Xiaoyou wavered, and finally did not have the heart to attack this 17 or 18-year-old girl. He put down his sword and said coldly, "Go away, as far away as you can, and don't let me see you again."

Ren Xiaole was surprised and delighted when she heard this. She kowtowed to her hurriedly and thanked her desperately, "Thank you, sister. Thank you for not killing me."

Qu Xiaoyou glared at her and chased after everyone with a sword in hand.

Qu Zhengyan was supported by others and limped out of the city, finally arriving at the foot of a steep mountain.

The matter of the imperial seal was of great importance, and Lu Xiuyuan did not want the news to leak and cause any more trouble, so he asked the people who had followed them to stay at the foot of the mountain and wait, while he and his companions took Qu Zhengyan up the mountain.

After walking along the rugged mountain road for more than two hours, Qu Zhengyan finally stopped in front of a cave.

This cave is very hidden, and is completely covered by large trees and shrubs. If ordinary people don't know about it, they may not be able to find it even if they walk past it.

"It's inside." Qu Zhengyan pointed at the cave and sighed angrily.

"Go in and find it for us!" Xia Younan pushed him and ordered, to prevent him from doing anything in the cave.

Qu Zhengyan took the lead and walked into the cave as instructed, and the others followed closely behind.

The entrance of the cave is not big, but the cave belly is very large, about the size of two rooms, but it is very empty and desolate, with no decoration, only some rocks of different sizes on the ground.

"Where is the thing?" Xia Younan asked with a frown. There was no place to hide things here, so how could the jade seal be here?

Qu Zhengyan did not answer. He walked to a stone wall in the cave with a frustrated look on his face. He pinched a protruding stone with his tied hands and then gently rotated it.

"Rumble..."

As soon as he put down his hand, he heard the sound of huge rocks moving in the cave. Under the surprised gaze of everyone, the innermost wall of the cave slowly rose up, as if a huge stone door had opened.

After the cave wall was completely raised, a square secret room was exposed to everyone.

The secret room was not big, only the size of an ordinary room, but it was filled with things, including dozens of boxes of various sizes.

Xia Younan was stunned. He slapped Qu Zhengyan on the back of his head and scolded him, "Old man, you actually set up a secret room in this deep forest. There must be some things in it that cannot be seen in public, right?"

Qu Zhengyan didn't answer, feeling angry and helpless.

"Go in!" Xia Younan didn't say any more words and pushed him inside.

Qu Zhengyan was the first to walk into the secret room, and the others followed suit, eager to open the boxes and look through them.

As the boxes were opened one by one, the contents were so dazzling that they were enough to blind one's eyes.

money!

It's all money!

Boxes and boxes of gold and silver ingots, jade and agate, silver bills and silver dollars filled the huge secret room to the brim.

"Wo...Wo grass!" Xia Younan's eyes widened as he looked at everything in front of him, and his eyeballs almost popped out.

"Oh my goodness, so much money! I've been a bandit for so many years and have never seen so much money!" Zhu Li stared at the gold and silver treasures with his eyes shining and his saliva was about to flow.

Xiong Fei couldn't help but pick up a large piece of gold, put it in his mouth and bit it, and exclaimed excitedly: "It's real!"

Lu Xiuyuan was much calmer. He looked at Qu Zhengyan and asked, "Is this all the money you earned from spending your late wife's money over the years?"

Qu Zhengyan was so angry that he didn't want to say a word. He turned his head away, which was considered as his agreement.

"You heartless man, which box is the jade seal in?" Xia Younan asked angrily.

Let's find the seal first and then deal with the money.

At this point, Qu Zhengyan stopped struggling and resigned himself to pointing at a small box at the innermost part.

Chan En immediately climbed up the "gold mountain", took down the most inconspicuous small wooden box, and handed it to Xia Younan.

Xia Younan took the box and opened it, and saw a transparent white jade object lying inside.

The object is four inches square, with five intertwined dragons on top and seal characters engraved below: "Received the mandate from heaven, long life and prosperity."

If this isn’t the legendary imperial seal, then what else could it be?

"So this is what the jade seal looks like." Xia Younan picked up the jade seal and looked at it curiously. Suddenly, he pointed at a certain part of the jade seal and exclaimed, "Hey, why is there a corner missing?"

That's right, the jade seal, which should have been square, was missing a corner. The gap was not very neat, probably because it had fallen off, and it looked extremely eye-catching.

Lu Xiuyuan took the jade seal and looked at it. His face suddenly darkened. He looked at Qu Zhengyan and asked, "Did you break the jade seal?"

"I didn't!" Qu Zhengyan denied it unexpectedly and said seriously, "The seal was like this when I got it. I didn't break it. It has come to this. There is no need for me to tell you such a useless lie."

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and held the jade seal without saying anything. The jade seal cannot be forged. This is obviously not fake, so why is there a missing corner? How can I explain this to Lu Shian when I go back?

"Let's go out first and see if we can find someone to repair it when we get back to Beijing." Xia Younan said, leading the way out of the secret room and back to the cave.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as she stepped out of the secret room, an arrow shot at the stone wall next to her head with lightning speed, just a hair's breadth away from taking her life.

"Younan!" Lu Xiuyuan was shocked. He hurried over, hugged Xia Younan in his arms, and ran to the side of the cave wall.

"There are people outside the cave, everyone, quickly lean against the walls on both sides!"

The other people were also alarmed and ran to the sides of the cave and stuck close to the stone wall.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Just as a few people hid, arrows flew into the cave like raindrops, densely packed and extremely fierce.

Fortunately, the cave entrance was very small, so the arrows had a limited range after entering. And the few people were sticking to the cave wall, out of the shooting range, so no one was injured.
