"Chase!"

I don’t know who said it, and everyone outside chased him out, and the person who started it was none other than Snake. The little green snake in his sleeve had already scurried into the forest, following Hou Yong’s departure trail. Chased him.

Lianyi just stood at the entrance of the ruined temple and watched the fun, with no intention of participating. After everyone had gone away, Wang Yaozu stuck his head out and asked softly:

"Why don't you go and take a look? That's a treasure map!"

"Even if the treasure map is real, it can't be compared to you. Besides, we signed a contract and your safety is the first priority. What if I leave and you are attacked by someone.

What you mean is that you want me to chase you out?"

Ripple asked rhetorically.

"Of course not, I was just curious and asked casually."

Wang Yaozu immediately said that his shoulder injured by the arrow had not healed yet, and he could only feel safe if he stayed by Lianyi's side.

After seeing enough of the excitement, Lianyi turned back to the ruined temple.

"Go and pull out the potatoes and sweet potatoes. They should be ripe. Let's make a midnight snack."

Lianyi ordered directly.

Wang Yaozu immediately took two branches, opened the extinguished fire, dug out the four black lumps that had turned into black charcoal, then relit the fire, and broke open the potatoes and sweet potatoes by the light of the fire.

The ripe potatoes and sweet potatoes were steaming, accompanied by a sweet aroma, which made Wang Yaozu's stomach growl.

Lianyi didn't like sweets, so she picked potatoes and handed the sweet potatoes to Wang Zhenzhen. Wang Yaozu chose the sweet potatoes himself and started to eat them.

"I wonder if these people have caught up?"

Wang Yaozu ate a whole roasted sweet potato to fill his stomach before he started asking questions.

"Since Snake is always here, it should be fine."

Ripple added two pieces of firewood to the fire. The night in the mountain forest was still a bit damp and cold.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the sky above their heads, and then a "rumbling" sound of thunder reached the ears of the three of them.

Wang Yaozu stood up directly without leaving the temple gate. He looked up at the night sky. At this time, another lightning appeared in the night sky. He immediately said to Ripple:

"Hero, it's going to rain!"

Less than half a minute after the lightning and thunder, the raindrops began to fall.

Wang Yaozu and Lianyi had moved the fire and carriage to the other side where there was a roof, and then moved several other fires to their places.

"The rain is really unlucky. It seems that they may return in vain tonight."

Wang Zhenzhen looked at the rain falling more and more outside the ruined temple and said to Ripple.

"It has nothing to do with us anyway."

Ripple said nonchalantly.

"Actually, I'd like to see the treasure map."

Wang Zhenzhen said thoughtfully.

Lianyi didn't expect that Aunt Zhen would actually want to see the treasure map, so she directly sent a message into the secret and asked:

"Aunt Zhen, is the wealth belonging to you and your mother really mapped into a treasure map?"

"Your grandmother has always kept the wealth that belongs to me for me. As for your mother's, because she has married, everything has been handed over to her. As for how she uses it, your grandmother has never interfered.

Back then, I arrived a step late and only found you who had broken my heart. I didn't find anything else. The entire Yingze Villa was burned down, and the only people who passed me by were Princess Xiangyi's men.

I suspect that they may have known about the wealth your mother left behind, but there must be some reason why they couldn't obtain it, so they delayed it for so long.

As we left the Sunu Palace, what we saw and heard along the way indicated that there would be a war soon. The wealth your mother left behind would naturally make some people tempted.

Only those who are thoughtful will leak the so-called treasure map. After all, if there is a map but no token, or if there is a token but no map, you will not be able to successfully obtain the wealth.

What they do is to force two things to appear, so that they can achieve their ultimate goal. "

After all, Wang Zhenzhen knows more, so she thinks more.

"Aunt Zhen, now the royal family, the Jianghu, the Wang family, and those who regard the Wang family as a royal businessman as a thorn in the side, I am afraid that they are all involved in this matter, and they must be secretly fueling the flames. It may not be that simple to solve this smoothly."

The ripples also transmitted sound into the secret passage.

"Yes! I decided to go down the mountain because of your grandmother. In addition, you have grown up and you have to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan. The Xu family is gone, but you are still the granddaughter of the Wang family, so you have to go back. Now I just want you to be mentally prepared."

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhen, I know what's going on."

Ripple nodded quickly.

Half an hour later, the rain gradually became lighter, and the group of people who chased out were all soaked in water and returned to the ruined temple one after another.

"Damn it, it rained at such a bad time, it actually allowed those three people to escape right under our noses!"

Xiong Zigeng complained loudly.

Snake Lao followed closely behind, his expression not very good, because the rain had washed away the smell, and his little green snake could no longer follow it.

Xiao Shu protected Wang Meimei into the ruined temple and asked her to quickly change her clothes. He himself found a fire and sat down and began to bake his clothes.

Because of Lianyi's foresight, this group of soup chickens finally had a place to warm themselves, and everyone thanked Lianyi and the three of them.

"You're welcome! I have to protect my wife, so it's not convenient for me to chase her out. I wonder if those three people left any clues?"

"Nothing was left behind. Because there were always snakes around, we could still find traces, so we fell behind the three of us. Then it rained and all their traces were washed away, making it more difficult to track, and the rain was too heavy. , we were afraid of being scattered, so we had to come back first."

This time it was Xiao Shu who answered.

"That's a shame, these three are so cunning."

Ripple sighed with emotion.

"It's really cunning. They planned to escape tracking here and actually prepared horses in the mountains and forests. That's when we completely lost track of them."

Zhang Nian also echoed.

"It seems that they had expected to confront the people from Broken Sword Mountain, so they had a back-up here. No wonder they ran towards us, but they didn't expect to encounter us."

Ripple immediately agreed.

Others were warming themselves by the fire and complaining. They actually missed the treasure map, which was really heartbreaking and uncomfortable.

"Huh, even if they run away, they won't survive tonight."

Snake Lao said coldly.

"Old Snake, do you have a backup plan?"

"When the three of them appeared, they were bitten by my Xiaoqing. If they don't want to die, they will come back tomorrow."

Snake Lao said slightly proudly.

"Otherwise, I have to ask Old Snake to take action. Senior Jianghu is my senior. Xiong has learned a lesson."

When Xiong Zigeng heard that there was hope that the treasure map could be recovered, his eyes immediately lit up and he first complimented Snake.

After everyone heard this, their expressions improved a lot.

Wang Meimei had borrowed Ripple's carriage, changed her clothes, and when she came out to sit by the fire, Ripple stuffed a roasted potato into her.

"Thank you Ripple! I'm really hungry!"

Wang Meimei immediately broke open the potatoes, gave half to his brother Xiao, and ate the other half herself. (End of chapter)
