Some people are still talking about yesterday's events with great interest, but more people have begun to speculate on what treasures the mysterious man, the owner of the golden carvings and jade dark field, will bring out in this year's treasure appraisal conference.
Yes, the sixteenth day of the Treasure Appraisal Conference is the day that everyone is looking forward to.
The injuries of the three princes have all recovered, but the eleventh prince left in a hurry on the pretext of having something to do after the poison was removed from his body. But before leaving, he met his sister and said many things that made Princess Zixuan feel inexplicable.
He left without anyone stopping him, but he didn't understand why he was in such a hurry to leave.
I have long heard that the treasure that the owner will present in this year's treasure appraisal conference is the Canglong treasure map of the previous dynasty. It is said that the treasure map tells the location of the real treasury of the previous dynasty. It contains not only gold and silver mountains, but also strategies for governing the country.
, as well as many secret books from the previous dynasty, which attracted the attention of martial arts people.
And this treasure map that everyone covets every day will be released tonight, so the golden and jade dark place is particularly lively today, and everyone is talking about this issue. And the Wuji Taoist Jin Nanfeng is even more so.
The leader set up a temporary stage with a booth on it. No one knew what treasures would be on the booth later, but the stage was already surrounded by people.
Yuchi Pingting had a strong feeling that these people would be disappointed. Maybe there would be no Canglong treasure map at all.
Throughout the ages, many treasure maps have been one conspiracy after another. They will only lead people to dig their own graves and bring out the ugliness of human nature. And among these people, how many are known as famous families and how many are crowned?
I am a gentleman, but at this moment, all I am thinking about is how to get this so-called treasure map.
Yuchi Pingting smiled helplessly. She despised and sympathized with these people. These people who did not know what they wanted throughout their lives lost themselves in prosperity and struggle but did not know that a hundred years later, in fact, these were just passing clouds.
How about a treasure? What about no treasure?
"Do you also think this is a conspiracy?" Nangong Feiran asked. He could guess what Yuchi Pingting was thinking from her contemptuous expression.
"So, heroes think alike?" Yuchi Pingting replied lazily. Seeing that Nangong Feiran had worked so hard last night, she reluctantly ignored him.
"This Canglong Treasure Map has always been a legend. I heard about it when I was a child, but apart from the mysterious legend, there is no other true version at all. In my opinion, this Canglong Treasure Map is basically
It's a cover, and I haven't figured out what conspiracy I want to use this to make." Nangong Feiran really knew everything he wanted to say.
But Yuchi Pingting already knew almost everything. She could even guess who the mysterious person behind the scenes was. However, she was also very curious about the treasure that was going to be released tonight. She didn't know how this mysterious person would act.
What kind of treasure would shock the whole audience.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that Taoist Wuji had slowly walked onto the stage, and everything became quiet.
Taoist Wuji clasped his fists and said: "Thank you all for watching and waiting until today. What I want to tell you is that everyone's waiting is definitely worth it. Today, the treasure to be born in my golden and jade dark field is...bring it up."
As Taoist Wuji said that, a maid came up with a tray behind her. It was the green dill girl among the two women who carried them across the river when they entered the dark field of golden carvings and jade that day. She didn't know what was on it, but she just used a piece of it.
Covered with a red cloth, Luluo placed the tray on the table in front of Wuji Taoist Jin Nanfeng and then retreated.
At this moment, a man squeezed in next to Yuchi Pingting and said with a smile in a very low tone: "Princess Yuchi, we meet again."
Yuchi Pingting turned around and saw a man in gray clothes standing next to her and looking at her with a smile. When he saw this familiar face clearly, Yuchi Pingting whispered in surprise, "Ji Boguang?"
Yes, this person is the boss of the Pingan Inn in Chifenglingxia. He was originally captured by them, but was later rescued by his boss, the man wearing a bamboo hat. But why does this person appear here at this moment?
But the man made a "shh" gesture, then said "I'm here to help you" and then stopped talking. He completely ignored Yuchi Pingting's doubts and just looked at Jin Nanfeng on the stage.
The faint smile on his face is mysterious and mysterious.
Jin Nanfeng just happened to take off the red veil and said: "Tonight's treasure, the only one in heaven and on earth, is the ice and fire jade toad that can detoxify all poisons and is invulnerable to all poisons after being eaten."
As soon as Yuchi Pingting said this, there were no other people's comments in her ears. In surprise, she just stared at the snow-white and exquisite jade toad in the tray in a daze. Is this God's will? What she has been looking for all this time.
Ice Fire Jade Toad, I really saw it today, no matter what, I must get it, this is the thought in Yuchi Pingting's heart, it is indestructible.
Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu were both pleasantly surprised when they saw the Ice Fire Jade Toad. Amidst the disappointment in the crowd, they reached a tacit agreement to get this treasure no matter what.
But at this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Oh no, all the ships going out have been burned down, and we are trapped underground." Suddenly there was a chaos in the crowd, and they ran towards the exit.
Yuchi Pingting kept staring at Jin Nanfeng as he held the Ice Fire Jade Toad and retreated back.
Yuchi Pingting was about to catch up, but Ji Boguang beside her said: "If you want the Ice and Fire Jade Toad, come with me!" As he spoke, his figure swayed and he ran in the direction of Jin Nanfeng.
Yuchi Pingting was just in a trance for a moment. She intuitively felt that this was a conspiracy against her. Otherwise, how could Ji Boguang know how much she wanted the ice and fire jade toad, but she couldn't control that much. At this time,
There is only one thought in her mind, that is, she must get the ice, fire, emerald and toad. Even if it is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, a dragon's pool, and a tiger's den, she has to go through it.
Nangong Feiran saw Yuchi Pingting running wildly through the crowd and chasing someone. No matter what happened, he picked up Mo Mo and chased after him. However, he was stopped by several groups of people who were charging recklessly before he could take two steps.
The road was blocked, but looking at these people, at first glance, they seemed to be rushing with the flow of people, but in fact they were very regular. They were just blocking his path. Fortunately, he saw that Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu had already followed.
Already.
Yuchi Pingting followed Jin Nanfeng and Ji Boguang around three courtyards. Yuchi Pingting knew very well that the purpose of these people was to lure her there, but she didn't care, so there was no slowness in her steps.
Finally, Yuchi Pingting saw the two people entering a room, and she followed them in without thinking too much.
She saw that this was a very ordinary room. Yuchi Pingting saw Jin Nanfeng and Ji Boguang standing five steps away from her, looking at her with a smile.
"What do you mean by bringing me here?" Yuchi Pingting said, but her eyes were still fixed on the tray in Jin Nanfeng's hand.
At this moment, Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu also followed in, standing closely behind Yuchi Pingting, but their feet were already in position, waiting for a big fight.
"Where is Mo Mo?" Yuchi Pingting asked softly.
"Your Majesty, protect him." Feng Qingyu said.
In this way, Yuchi Pingting was relieved, so she felt relieved that Nangong Feiran could risk his own life to save Mo Mo, and handed Mo Mo to him.
Unexpectedly, Jin Nanfeng and Ji Boguang did not answer, they just looked at each other and then turned a vase beside them.
Before Yuchi Pingting could say "no", she heard the two doors behind her being closed tightly, and at the same time, a piece of white powder fell from above their heads and hit them.
Then a loud roar was heard.
The place where the three of them were standing had a big hole exposed, and before the three of them had time to react, they felt their bodies falling heavily.
The three of them simultaneously mobilized their inner strength to jump out, but they felt a sharp pain and could no longer exert any strength. Only then did they realize that the white powder was a drug. They had been restrained by the drug at this time and could not use it.
It doesn't take any effort.
The hole above the head had been closed, and Yuchi Pingting didn't know it. Her arrival made the three of them prisoners.
I couldn't see my fingers in the darkness, and the air was filled with a corrosive smell that hit my nostrils strongly.
Fortunately, they did not fall too deep and were not physically injured, but they just couldn't use their good skills.
Yuchi Pingting stood up on the spot and called out tentatively, "Xiaoyao, Qingyu", but suddenly heard an "ah" sound coming from not far away.
It was a whispering voice, and Yuchi Pingting felt a bad feeling in her heart. She immediately asked alertly: "What's wrong?"
"Don't move. If you move, be careful if your head falls to the ground." A cold and unfamiliar voice said.
It was obviously threatening Feng Qingyu, but this voice sounded familiar to Yuchi Pingting.
"Who are you?" Yi Xiaoyao asked solemnly.
"Humph, it's easy to be free with a sword. You can't be free now. You'd better stand there and don't move. If you dare to disobey, I guarantee that today will be your memorial day next year." Another
A strange voice.
Yuchi Pingting didn't know how many people there were in the darkness. It seemed that they had been quietly waiting for her to surrender again.
The next moment, the dark room suddenly lit up.
Yuchi Pingting couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden and closed her eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that both Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu were held under the shining sword. Two men in gray clothes with indifferent expressions restrained them. There were more than a dozen big men in gray clothes standing beside them, each holding a hand.
They had weapons and held a torch in one hand. These people all had their faces covered with scarves.
Feng Qingyu's face was filled with anger and eagerness, while Yi Xiaoyao's face was gloomy, and he was frozen with a frown on his face.
Yuchi Pingting glanced around intently. She had no impression of any of these people.
However, she was deeply impressed by the man who came out of another secret door. Ji Boguang, this man was walking towards them with a smile.
"Princess Yuchi, it's been a long time." Ji Boguang said and walked to Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu, holding a long sword in his hand.
Yuchi Pingting had a vague feeling in her heart that the motives of these people in bringing her here were not bad. It seemed that they did not want to harm her. Moreover, they had always called her "Princess Yuchi" instead of "Crown Princess".
At this time, Yuchi Pingting was even more certain that their target was herself. The Ice and Fire Jade Toad was just a cover, but who knew that she was eager for the Ice and Fire Jade Toad?
She knew that her journey would be full of dangers, but based on the idea of "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs", she still rushed here desperately, because she intuitively felt that since the target of these people was her, it would be impossible.
It hurt her, but at this time, it also affected Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu.
"Boss Ji, to be honest, I really don't want to see you. Forgive me for being outspoken. You are too treacherous. I like dealing with people like you." Yuchi Pingting said without changing her expression.
"Haha, I really want to see the princess. I hope the princess will forgive me for inviting the princess here in this way. However, my master really wants to see you." Ji Boguang didn't care at all about Yuchi Pingting.
evaluation of him.
Yuchi Pingting clearly felt that Ji Boguang was arrogant, but his tone of voice was humble.
"Who is your master? I think I must have met him before," Yuchi Pingting said.
"The princess will know later." Ji Boguang smiled mysteriously, but this smile suddenly reminded Yuchi Pingting of the man who wore a bamboo hat and refused to show his true face at the Ping'an Inn that day. Ji Boguang called him
As the boss, then the master in Ji Boguang's words at this time must be that person. Suddenly, another feeling of familiarity surged in his heart.
But for Ji Boguang's answer, Yuchi Pingting couldn't help but cursed the old fox in her heart.
I went round and round without knowing how many twists and turns I made.
Although the head was covered with a black cloth and a black belt was put on, and her vision was obscured layer by layer, Yuchi Pingting could still clearly feel that they had been circling an underground palace.
Later, they came out of the underground palace, and the air suddenly became fresh and refreshing.
"arrive."
Someone came over and untied the bag on his head, leaving a black cloth on his eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was in a small mountain village.
Ji Boguang took them to a small courtyard and to the door of a guest room. The door was heavily guarded and very serious.
Ji Boguang said to Yuchi Pingting: "Princess Princess, please rest here for a while, and I will report to my lord."
Then he turned around and said to a leader of the guards: "These are the lord's distinguished guests. They are well served. Don't neglect them. Also, watch the door."
After the leader responded "yes", Ji Boguang turned around and left.
