"Madam, why do you only have a maid with you when you travel? Why don't you send more warriors with so many treasures?"

Jingchuan still couldn't suppress his curiosity. It seemed normal for a child to be a little curious.

The noble lady was stunned. She obviously didn't expect that a little kid like him would find this loophole. After all, so many Thousand Hand Ninjas outside didn't notice anything wrong.

She thought for a moment, then explained:

"It is precisely because of my concern that I hired so many ninjas. I believe that the Senju ninjas will be able to escort us safely to the Land of Lightning."

"Then why do you want to expose the treasure? Wouldn't it be easy to attract bandits?" Senju Jingchuan asked.

The noble lady's smile froze and she did not answer this time.

She handed Senju Kagamikawa an exquisite dessert and said, "Kagamikawa-kun, guess why this is."

The noble lady's guilty behavior made Jingchuan even more certain that there was something wrong with this escort mission.

Senju Kagamikawa was staring at the snack in his hand in thought, when the noble lady suddenly asked:

"Kamigawa-kun, don't you want to try it?"

Senju Kagawa thought, "How dare I eat the food you give me?"

Senju Kagamikawa was about to say: This is the first time I have seen such exquisite snacks. I plan to take them home and share them with my brothers.

Suddenly, Xiaoxi, who was quietly playing with a grasshopper, put down the grasshopper in his hand and looked at Qianju Jingchuan with vicious eyes.

Then, Xiaoxi snatched the snack from Jingchuan's hand and stuffed it into her mouth.

The action was so rough that Senju Jingchuan couldn't react.

Xiaoxi chewed the snack and swallowed it, her expression half laughing and half crying, she shouted:

"Mom, I like this snack the most! Don't give it to him!"

He cried out, and crumbs of pastry flew out of his mouth and fell on the floor of the carriage.

Looking at Xiaoxi who seemed like a madman, Senshou Jingchuan couldn't help but shiver.

【What happened to this child?】

Seeing that Xiaoxi was about to start crying again, the noble lady immediately took another snack to cover his mouth and coaxed him:

"Don't cry, don't cry. Okay, the snacks are all yours."

But this time, Xiaoxi was obviously not as easy to coax as she was at the beginning. The "dim sum" was like a sharp blade that punctured a balloon, causing Xiaoxi's dissatisfaction to burst like a balloon.

Xiao Xi was held in the noble lady's arms, but he still waved his hands around and kicked his legs everywhere, leaving marks on the noble lady's neat twelve sheets.

He kicked and screamed, his tears flowing freely and mixing with his snot to stain his face.

While crying, he did not forget to wipe his face on the noble lady's sleeve.

The noble lady's expression froze for a moment, but she couldn't get angry because of Senju Jingchuan's presence.

She took a deep breath and continued to comfort Xiaoxi in a firm tone:

"Xiao Xi, stop crying. Your father will be unhappy if he knows you've been naughty again."

Hearing this, Xiaoxi stopped crying for a moment, but the next second he started pushing the noble lady again:

"No, no! I don't want him here! I hate him!"

Senju Jingchuan had seen enough of this farce and knew that if he stayed here any longer it would not end well, so he got off the carriage with the consent of the noble lady.

Shortly after coming down from the Senju Mirror River, Xiaoxi's voice gradually became lower, and she sounded like she had compromised.

The maid who was originally accompanying the carriage got on, probably to help the noble lady tidy up her clothes.

Senju Jingchuan deliberately walked slower, slowly moving from the front of the team to the back of the convoy, where the cars were transporting the boxes of jewellery.

Only when I got closer to Senju Jingchuan did I discover that there were strange patterns printed on the jewelry box.

It looks like a sickle-shaped pattern extending from the bottom of the "卍" character.

Senju Jingchuan looked up.

It was just after noon and the sun was shining brightly. The sunlight shone on the exposed jewels, reflecting a dazzling light.

[It's too dazzling.] Senju Kagamikawa thought, [Won't this attract bandits to rob?]

Seeing the Thousand Hand Ninja beside him, Kagamikawa asked:

"Do nobles like to show off their jewels? Aren't they afraid that their jewels will be stolen?"

The dark-skinned Thousand Hands Ninja smiled and said:

"Some nobles would like to wrap their jewelry tightly for fear that it would be discovered by the escorting ninja. However, some nobles like to show off their jewelry, which often attracts bandits and thieves."

He thought for a moment and added, "But since we have been hired to escort them, the ninjas who have accepted the mission must protect these jewels no matter what."

Senju Jingchuan nodded thoughtfully. It sounded like these nobles were simply fearless.

However, Jingchuan still felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

He moved closer to the box containing the jewelry and discovered that the box was not actually black, but a very dark blood color. If he smelled it carefully, he could smell a strange fragrance.

After smelling it a few times, Senju Jingchuan felt dizzy, so he quickly moved away from the box.

The smell became fainter as he got a little further away, but it still lingered in Jingchuan's nose, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"You've been standing by the box for so long. Do you smell anything?" Kagamikawa looked up and asked the dark-skinned Thousand-Handed Ninja.

The Thousand Hands Ninja leaned close to the box and took a few deep breaths, then answered in confusion:

"No, what's wrong?"

Senshou Jingchuan shook his head and felt even more puzzled. Why was he the only one who could smell this scent?

Next, Jingchuan moved closer to several other boxes in the same way, but did not smell the same smell on those boxes.

Is it a coincidence?

But Senju Kagamikawa asked a few Senju ninjas to smell the first box, and they all said they didn't smell anything.

When Senshou Jingchuan returned to the first box, he still smelled that strange fragrance, but it was much fainter.

Senju Jingchuan found Senju Chenghe and told him something was wrong along the way. Senju Chenghe was just stunned for a moment, then asked him in confusion if he was overthinking it.

Senju Chenghe is a perception-type ninja. Logically, he should be able to detect any abnormalities, but he did not find anything abnormal.

Seeing Senju Chenghe's reaction, Kagamikawa knew that it would be useless to look for other ninjas, so he had to give up and went back to the first box.

As they walked, they came to a winding mountain road, with large and small stones everywhere on the road. Perhaps because the road was too bumpy and the jewelry box was too full, a jade pendant fell from the top of the box.

Qianshou Jingchuan picked up the white jade pendant. There were beautiful auspicious clouds carved on the front of the pendant, and a blood-red pattern engraved on the back - the same pattern as on the jewelry box.

He calmly held the jade pendant in his hand and quietly put it into the system space.

[System, system, what does this pattern mean? What is this strange fragrance?]

[Host, this is something you need to explore, don't rely on the system. This may involve hidden tasks, please explore it on your own. ]

The corner of Senju Jingchuan's mouth twitched. Well, this matter also involves a hidden mission.

This damn system, I really don't know what the purpose of this system is for him to travel through time and space? Is it to make his golden fingers reasonable? But aren't his current golden fingers half-baked?

[Forget it, I still have to rely on myself for all this. ]

……

When they reached the middle of the mountain, Qian Shou Cheng He suddenly ordered the team to stop and shouted hurriedly: "Enemy attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several large rocks rolled down from the mountain. The leading Thousand Hands Ninja hurriedly used earth escape to block the rocks, and the rocks fell off the cliff.

Immediately afterwards, countless flaming arrows were shot at the convoy.

The Thousand Hand Ninjas protected and dodged while protecting the convoy.

Two arrows broke through the siege and shot towards Senju Jingchuan.

"Ding! Ding!" With two sounds, two kunai knocked the arrows down.

Senju Jingchuan looked up and saw it was Senju Chenghe. He ran to Jingchuan and told him to hide well.

Senju Jingchuan, who only knows physical skills, will naturally hide well.

Then, the enemies who had used up their hidden arrows rushed over to fight against the Thousand Hand Ninja.

Senju Kagamikawa held a kunai and fought against several bandits.

Those bandits were so skilled that they were like ninjas. Jingchuan was having a hard time, but luckily Senju Chenghe helped him share the burden.

"Ah——" A scream came from the carriage where the noble lady was.
