Murong Xi looked at the study carefully, and her intuition told her that the sheepskin map was not taken away by the elder. But where exactly was the sheepskin map hidden?
"Xier, tell me, is this portrait in our hands the eldest princess or the little princess?" Feng Mingye said, opening the portrait and looking at it carefully.
Murong Xi also followed Feng Mingye and looked at the portrait carefully. This portrait was exactly the same as the one in the villa.
Murong Xi took a closer look at the charm of the beauty in the painting. She smiled and said: "The paintings are indeed exactly the same, but the charm is different. Look carefully, the princess in that portrait is charming, her eyes
Like twinkling stars. If both portraits were painted by that ancestor, then he would definitely be able to tell that the woman in front of him is not the same person."
After listening to Murong Xi's words, Feng Mingye quickly took a closer look at the beauty in the painting. Sure enough, as Murong Xi said, although the princess's appearance has not changed at all, her charm has indeed changed.
"Xier, you are right, these two paintings are indeed somewhat different. But, were these two paintings really painted by the same person?" Feng Mingye looked at Murong Xi and said.
Murong Xi nodded and said: "It must be. Alas, when the maid sent the child to the Qu family, the ancestor must have been very sad. Maybe at that time, he already knew that he would never see that child again.
She’s a little princess now.”
"Xier, you mean that at that time, he already knew that the little princess died in depression?" Feng Mingye asked.
"It's no surprise that with the shrewdness of Qu's ancestors, he might have guessed it a long time ago. The reason why he has been guarding the eldest princess for so many years may also be the reason for the little princess. I didn't expect that something like this would happen in the tribe.
The ambition of this clan leader is not small. I think he is like this because he is interested in the identity of Prince Dongmo. But, does the eldest princess really like Prince Dongmo?" Murong Xi sighed and said
.
"Xier, these are all things in the past. Let's think about whether there is a sheepskin map in the study." Feng Mingye comforted her.
Murong Xi walked to the bookshelf and wanted to see if there were any clues on the bookshelf. Because she thought that the mechanism of the bookshelf in the underground secret room popped up this portrait, so what about the bookshelf in the study?
Feng Mingye saw Murong Xi walking to the bookshelf, so she walked over with a rag in her hand.
"Xier, is there another portrait on the bookshelf here?" Feng Mingye said.
Murong Xi was amused by Feng Mingye and said, "Do you think the princess's portrait will be everywhere? Think about the portrait we just found on the bookshelf in the underground secret room. Since the underground secret room is opposite to this study,
Then there should also be a mechanism on the bookshelf."
"Is Elder Qu okay?" Feng Mingye looked outside the door and said softly.
Murong Xi glanced at Feng Mingye, and the two of them left the study together. Murong Xi sat next to Elder Qu and said, "Aye, let's rest here for a while."
Feng Mingye knew that Murong Xi wanted to comfort Elder Qu, so she took two water bags and handed them to Murong Xi. Murong Xi put one of them into Elder Qu's hand, opened the water bag and took a big sip.
He said to Elder Qu: "Elder Qu, are you... okay?"
Elder Qu took a sip of water and saw Murong Xi sitting on the ground. He quickly got up and said, "Little Valley Master, you cannot sit here because of your current condition. Get up quickly."
Feng Mingye helped Murong Xi stand up, and Murong Xi said to Elder Qu: "Elder Qu, I know you must be very shocked after reading the letter. However, the matter has passed, so don't think too much about it."
"Actually, what the little Valley Master said is right. It happened a long time ago. I just didn't expect that the patriarch could be so cruel to his daughter. Moreover, our Qu family has been loyal to the tribe for generations and would rather let our daughter become
Even though there was a corpse, the Qu family refused to marry their daughter to the Qu family. Even so, the Qu family still followed them to the Central Plains to protect their two masters. After reading this letter, I really feel worthless for my ancestors."
The elder murmured.
"Elder Qu, you..." Murong Xi didn't know what to say. After all, it had been a long time. Even if they had the chance to return to the tribe, they would not have any interaction with the tribe. Therefore, she didn't know how to persuade Qu.
Elder.
"Little Valley Master, there is no need to say anything. This is the mission of the Qu family." Elder Qu took another sip of water, turned around and entered the study.
Murong Xi followed Elder Qu into the study. Murong Xi said softly: "Elder Qu, I think the bookshelf here is the same as the bookshelf in the underground tomb. There should be something hidden in it."
After speaking, Murong Xi walked to the bookshelf and used his hands to test where the mechanisms on the bookshelf were. Unfortunately, the bookshelf just didn't respond. Murong Xi didn't want to give up, but Feng Mingye was worried that Murong Xi would be tired, so she said to Murong Xi: "
Xi'er, why not take a rest for a while, maybe the bookshelf in this study doesn't have any secrets at all."
Murong Xi stared at the bookshelf, nodded, and said: "You are right, the bookshelf may not really have any mechanism. Maybe the problem lies in the books on the bookshelf."
"Huh?" While Feng Mingye was still thinking about the meaning of Murong Xi's words, Murong Xi had already flipped through the book in the middle of the bookshelf.
"Aye, Elder Qu, come and take a look." Murong Xi discovered the problem.
Elder Qu and Feng Mingye walked over, and Murong Xi handed the book to Feng Mingye. Feng Mingye picked up the book and found that the book was indeed a bit strange. Because the book looked very thick, but
The weight is very light. Murong Xi wanted to open the book, but the book could not be opened. Murong Xi used a knife to cut the book open, and it turned out that it was actually empty. After completely opening it, the book was empty.
Something fell out. Murong Xi discovered that the thing that fell was actually a sheepskin map.
"Aye, the sheepskin map is really here." Murong Xi said with a smile.
Everyone was relieved to find the sheepskin map. However, they did not expect that the sheepskin map was actually sealed in the book.
Murong Xi put the sheepskin map away and wanted to see if there were any letters or other things inside, but found that except for the sheepskin map, it was empty inside.
"The ancestor of the Qu family didn't leave a letter to tell his descendants what the sheepskin was used for. The ancestor of the Qu family is really strange, why did he do this?" Murong Xi murmured.
"Xier, I think he doesn't want his descendants to know about the sheepskin map." Feng Mingye said.
Before reading the letter, Murong Xi naturally did not understand why Elder Qu would do this. However, after reading the letter just now, she knew that the ancestor did not want his descendants to return to the tribe.
"You are right, I am afraid that the ancestors of the Qu family never want to return to the tribe." Murong Xi said.
"Xier, since the sheepskin map has been found, let's go back to the villa as soon as possible." Feng Mingye was worried about Murong Xi's health and hurriedly persuaded her.
"Little Valley Master, let's go." Elder Qu said.
"That's fine, Elder Qu. When you and Master come back, the responsibility of cleaning this yard will be handed over to you." Murong Xi said with a smile.
Elder Qu knew that Murong Xi planned to hand over the courtyard to him. He was very happy and said quickly: "Okay, thank you little valley master."
Murong Xi and others wanted to go outside. When they reached the door, Elder Qu turned around and looked at the courtyard reluctantly. This courtyard has been sealed off by the great elder until now, and finally he can return to this courtyard in the future.
"Let's go." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he made a gesture.
In the blink of an eye, people from the Fengtian Sect appeared in front of them. Soon, they returned to the villa.
When they appeared in the bamboo house, Xuan Liangyue couldn't believe that they found the sheepskin map so quickly and rushed back. Therefore, they thought that Murong Xi might not be feeling well, so they returned to the villa early.
When Murong Xi and Feng Mingye returned home, they were worried that they were unwell, but they did not expect that they were all waiting for news in the front hall of the bamboo house.
"Why are you all here?" Murong Xi asked in surprise.
"Master and the old man are a little tired, so they went back first. Of course we are worried about your health, so we are waiting here." Bai Lichen said.
"Little Valley Master, I'll go to the Valley Master first." Elder Qu said to Murong Xi.
"So it turns out that the master and the old man were still here just now? That's good. When the master sees you coming back, he doesn't have to worry so much." Murong Xi asked.
Elder Qu left the bamboo house, and Bai Lichen said: "Yes, but have you found the things? Is your body... okay?"
Murong Xi was very touched when he knew that so many people were worried about him. He first smiled mysteriously at Bai Lichen, and then said to Ji Limo: "Ji Limo, ask your people to go to Northern Xinjiang and tell them
The underground palace does not need to be demolished."
"Did you all hear it?" Ji Limo said coldly.
"Yes." The man in black suddenly appeared and responded, then left Xuanmen Villa.
"You mean, the last sheepskin has been found?" Bai Lichen asked excitedly.
"Well, not only did I find the sheepskin map, I also found another portrait." After speaking, Murong Xi took out the sheepskin map from his arms and threw it to Ji Limo.
Ji Limo took the sheepskin map and left the front hall.
Bai Lichen was curious about what portrait they brought back, so he whispered: "What portrait did they bring back? It couldn't be Prince Dongmo on the portrait, right?"
Feng Mingye shook her head and handed the portrait to Bai Lichen for him to see for himself.
Bai Lichen opened the portrait curiously. After taking a look, he seemed a little disappointed and said, "It turns out to be the portrait of the princess. But why is it still exactly the same?"
Murong Xi and Feng Mingye looked at each other and said to Bai Lichen: "Look carefully, what is the difference between this portrait and the previous one?"
When Bai Lichen heard what Murong Xi said, he knew that there must be something in this painting, so he looked at the painting carefully. However, after looking at it for a long time, he said, "Is there anything different about this painting?"
"Look at those eyes. How are they different from the portrait in the room?" Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Looking at it, they're not all princesses?" Bai Lichen said, shaking his head.
Xuan Liangyue looked at the portrait carefully and said to Bailichen: "It's different. Her eyes are different from that of the princess. Girl, wasn't this painted by one person?"
