Chapter 567: Tracking the Treasure's Whereabouts

"Thank you for the rescue, and I have to rescue my companions in the future, but I am lost." The chief guard was concerned about the prince's comfort, and when he saw the city guards disappear, he immediately thought of the prince, and he couldn't even care about the number of courtesies.

"Do you mean the couple?" They're fine now and are rushing back. ”

The chief guard was slightly relieved, and then asked, "I don't know the name of the strong man?" ”

He said nonsense: "Mo Yu, a guest returning from the east." Although the officers and soldiers have been driven away now, there will inevitably be a large force after that, so you should pack up and leave as soon as possible. ”

The chief guard nodded, and went back to the house to clean up briefly, and when the prince rushed back, he had already packed up. The prince hurriedly asked his wife to find his daughter, and whispered a few words to the chief of the guard, as if he was relieved, and then expressed his gratitude to Hu Moyu.

Mo Yu is not Mo Yu, just a pseudonym, but he is not Luo Han, but a master that Luo Han found from the army. The reason why Luo Han didn't play by himself was still a little worried. In this scene of the coexistence of immortals and mortals, the national luck has always suppressed the cultivation of various monks, although the kingdom of Shengke has been subverted, but that token is passed down from generation to generation as a national token, receiving the blessing of the national fortune, and it will not necessarily lose the power of the national fortune suddenly because of the collapse of the country. There is nothing wrong with being careful in this kind of thing, Luo Han doesn't want to have an accident because of carelessness. However, Luo Han was not too far away, after receiving the report from the captain of the city guard, he felt that there was something wrong with the captain of the guard, and while ordering the city guard to arrest people, he let the master he had already contacted attack. He deliberately released the wanted warrant as a fishing operation, assuming that the fallen prince was still hiding near Heicheng, he would immediately show something strange when he saw this kind of wanted warrant.

The mission of Hu Moyu is to gain the favor of the prince and obtain the news of the token. Luo Han believes that this kind of thing must be hidden deeply, and it is good if he uses force directly by the prince's side, but if he is not there, he may anger the prince and will not be able to find it for the rest of his life.

After retrieving the little girl, Mo Yu escorted the family of three out of the village with the chief of the guard. On the way, the chief of the guard asked tentatively, "Brother Mo Yu, what are you doing?" Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against by the government when you stand up for us? ”

Mo Yu said: "I'm not from the Black Water Country, I'm not afraid of them, I just made a move when I saw that they were not pleasing to the eye." By the way, how did you get into trouble with the government? You don't look like an ordinary Orion. ”

The chief guard hesitated, but the prince said: "I can't hide it, I was originally the prince of the Shengke Kingdom, and I fled to the Heishui Kingdom to live in seclusion more than twenty years ago because of the palace upheaval. I've been at peace for years, but I don't know why the government seems to be targeting me now. ”

Mo Yu was puzzled: "Saint Ke Kingdom? Hasn't it been destroyed by the White Lion Country? What's the use of them looking for you now? ”

The prince shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's just that the person they want to arrest has the same appearance as me." Speaking of this, the prince involuntarily glanced at the chief of the guard, he was a little reluctant after all the ordinary and leisurely life had passed for too long.

The chief of the guard explained: "Generally, when the Jiangyang thieves are arrested, they will draw a portrait to explain the evil deeds they have committed. This time, the government only said that the person to be arrested had a scar on his neck, which seemed to have another purpose. This trait happens to be the same as yours, and it's hard not to think they're not coming for you. ”

The prince said, "What's the use of arresting me?" The Kingdom of Shengke has been destroyed, and it is impossible for a royal family like me, who disappeared more than twenty years ago, to gather the hearts of the people to subvert the current White Lion Kingdom. ”

Mo Yu said, "Could it be because I want to find the treasure left behind by the Shengke Kingdom through you?" ”

The prince and the chief guard looked puzzled. Mo Yu explained: "I have heard some stories before that some kingdoms will hide their wealth as capital for the revival of their clansmen after the fall of the country. Generally, this wealth is very huge, and it has attracted countless people to seek it by any means. ”

The prince shook his head: "There is no such thing in the kingdom of Shengke, even if there is a treasure, the secret cannot be in the hands of a prince like me who has fled a long time ago." Unless what they want is ......"

"Ahem......." The chief guard interrupted the prince's words in time, but let Mo Yu be sure that the prince did have something in his hand, and it was likely that it was the heirloom token that the lord was looking for.

The chief guard said, "If we really had any treasures, we wouldn't have been so poor all these years." I think maybe it's because the army of the White Lion Country is pressing, and the Black Water Country wants to capture His Royal Highness the Prince, the bloodline of the former dynasty, to curry favor with the White Lion Country. ”

The prince understood, nodded and said, "In this way, it is possible. Ay...... In fact, after hiding for so many years, I'm tired of it. The kingdom has fallen, my father, my son, and my nephews have been killed, and even if I am to be buried with them, I have nothing to say. It's just that I really can't let go of my wife and daughter, and if I'm gone, I don't know how they're going to live. ”

When the words fell, the prince's wife burst into tears, and the little girl saw her mother crying, and she also began to cry when she was already somewhat sensible. Mo Yu smiled secretly in his heart: "This prince has been playing tricks for so many years, and he also knows how to play tricks." He wanted to use his wife and daughter to gain sympathy, so he tied me to his side. Well, anyway, I want to get the news, so I'll cooperate with you. ”

At that moment, Mo Yu said: "The Sprinkle family has traveled all over the world, and it is the most important thing to see bullying. The Blackwater Kingdom bullied you for a little profit, I really can't stand it. Don't worry, I'll escort you out of Blackwater safely. ”

The prince clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Mo Yu and the chief guard escorted a family of three through the mountains and forests, afraid of being seen and exposed, so they never approached the village. In the afternoon, while the sun had not yet set, everyone made a fire on the mountain and barbecued food, so as not to be exhausted at night and unable to walk. Suddenly I heard a noisy human voice and was taken aback. Mo Yu said: "You guys hide, ready to flee at any time, I'll go see what the situation is." After a while, there was the sound of fighting in the mountains and forests, and the shouts of killing were all in one place. Soon Mo Yu fled back, grabbed the prince and ran away.

"When the officers and soldiers are killed, they will leave immediately."

The prince struggled, "But my package ......"

"If something is gone, you can get it back, but if your life is gone, you can have nothing."

The chief guard wanted to get the bag, but the brush was a rain of arrows falling from the sky, and the chief guard hurriedly waved his knife to protect the mother and daughter, avoiding the first rain of arrows, and then picked up the girl and ran, and the woman hurriedly followed.

Luo Han led the people to chase after him, looked at the package left on the ground, waved his hand and said, "You continue to chase," but he went to open the package.

Inside the package, except for a few pieces of clothing, there was a bit of copper plate, and in addition to that, there was only a beautifully shaped key. Not getting the token directly made Luo Han a little depressed, and at the same time glad that he directly let Mo Yu snatch it. It is obvious that the prince has put something somewhere and needs this key to open. Although Luo Han got the key, he didn't know what the enemy was, it seemed that he still had to let Mo Yu talk slowly, if he really didn't work, he would use the lives of the mother and daughter to threaten him, but this would make Luo Han a little uncomfortable and not in line with his usual principles of doing things.

Mo Yu ran wild with the prince all the way, but did not receive a signal of success, indicating that he still needed to stay by the prince's side. Finally, the two of them stayed under a big tree to rest, and Mo Yu asked curiously, "Is there anything important in your package?" It looks like you're in a hurry. ”

The prince knew that his performance had already explained the problem, and he was afraid of losing this gold medal bodyguard if he deceived again, and the thing had been lost, and there was no need to hide it, so he said: "There is a key in it, and I have a thing that is very important to me in a box somewhere, and I need to use this key to open it." Without the key, I'm afraid I won't be able to get that thing out of my life. ”

Mo Yu took the opportunity to ask, "What is it that is so well hidden?" If you really can't do it, just use a knife to chop the box to pieces. ”

The prince said: "It is my identity token in the Kingdom of Shengke back then, although it has long been useless, but it is my only memorial to that time. Whenever I think of a time when I think of a time, I take it out and look at it. But this thing is very important to me, but it is a waste that can't be exchanged for a few dollars for others. I'm ashamed to say that I tried to exchange it for a drink, but it didn't work, and I was thought of as a thief. ”

Mo Yu sneered in his heart: "Editor, you continue to make up." But according to his meaning, this thing should be near where he lives, could it be hidden in a corner of his house? ”

Luo Han also thought so, and his reason was very simple. In addition to the symbolic meaning of the national token, which is no longer useful to the prince, the most straightforward thing is that it can make people immune to all diseases and prolong their lives. Of course, this effect cannot be achieved by touching it once a year and a half, and he can't hide this thing in a very far place, it must be near the enemy where he lives, so that it can be easily contacted. Most likely, the place is his house. So Luo Han immediately turned back, and when he arrived at the prince's house in the village, he didn't need any helpers, and directly violently demolished the house, and even really dug three feet into the ground. But alas, nothing.

Luo Han was puzzled in his heart, he really couldn't figure out where the place corresponding to this key was, so he could only continue to wait for Mo Yu's results. If it really doesn't work, the only way to do it is to let the nightmare take action and extract memories from the prince's dreams.

In the mountains, the chief of the guard led the prince's wife and daughter to the rendezvous, and after a short rest, continued to flee. Soon after, it was dark, and the five of them rested in a cave.

Mo Yu said: "I ran all the way, and I didn't eat dinner, and it was too late to go hunting at this time, I have some dry food here, let's make do with it, let's sleep first and replenish our energy." ”

They were in a hurry when they left the village, and they didn't have time to prepare dry food, they thought that they could eat wild game in the mountains, but they were chased at dinner time, and now that it was dark, even if the chief of the guard lived by hunting all year round, he did not dare to go out to hunt rashly at this time, not to mention that even if there was a harvest, it was taboo to make a fire in this darkness. Therefore, it can only be made do with it first.

The dry food prepared by Mo Yu was not very palatable, and it was quite okay to chew, and the prince and his family of three barely cushioned their stomachs, and then shrank together and began to sleep. The head of the guard didn't eat much, only Mo Yu ate enough very seriously, he had long been used to this kind of thing, if he didn't go hungry during the march, it would be a joke with his life.

The head of the guard sat on the side and watched for a while, he didn't know the inside story, he only thought that Mo Yu was used to walking outside all year round, but he didn't have any other ideas. When Mo Yu finished eating and was about to go to bed, the chief guard gestured to him to go out and chat. Mo Yu nodded, and lightly followed the head of the guard out of the cave.

It was pitch black outside the cave, and even the moon would not show its face tonight, only the light of a few stars barely illuminated the outline of the mountain, like a giant beast lying on its stomach.

The head of the guard said in a low voice, "Brother Mo Yu, there is something I don't want to hide from you. Actually, I was the chief of the palace guard of the Kingdom of Shengke, and I was ordered to sneak into the country of Blackwater to find the prince and take something from him to go back. ”

Mo Yu said: "Then why did you stay with him?" ”

The chief guard said, "You're not a local, so you probably don't know. The thing that the prince took away from the kingdom of Shengke is a national token of the kingdom of Shengke, and it is a sacred object that can prolong people's lives. I'm not afraid that you will look down on me, I also have ideas about that thing, who doesn't like to live a long life? But I searched all over him and everywhere around him, and I couldn't find it. I was not reconciled, and it happened that he was very depressed at that time, so I pretended to be moved by his words, and stayed to take care of him, so that one day I could find out the whereabouts of the treasure from his mouth. ”

Mo Yu frowned: "I thought you were a righteous man, but it turned out to be such a shameless person." ”

The chief guard shook his head: "The puppet is not guilty, and in my opinion at the time, it is impossible for him to keep this thing with his ability." In order to eat, he even mortgaged his identity jade talisman. If I don't take it, sooner or later he will be snatched by someone else, and he may even be killed for the treasure. ”

Mo Yu said: "You are making excuses for your greed." ”

The chief guard nodded, "I admit it." It's just that I couldn't find him later, and when I was disheartened and ready to take him back directly to the mission, I heard the news of the fall of the kingdom of Shengke. Five of the eight cities of the kingdom were captured, three cities became independent, and the royal family was completely slaughtered. At this point, I can't go back. My family was wiped out because they were also loyal supporters of the royal family. I was already homeless, so I simply stayed, and really took care of the prince as my brother. After that, I never had the idea of fighting treasures again. Sometimes I think, maybe one day I'm sick and dying, and he'll take it out himself. Hehe...... Of course, it's just thinking about it, and I can't toss myself to death by myself. ”

Mo Yu frowned: "What exactly do you want to explain?" ”

The head of the guard pressed his eyes, which reflected the dim starlight in the dark night, and it was gloomy and cold.

"If you have come for his treasure, I tell you, you will not get any treasure from him, and it is better not to waste your efforts. Even if you kill him, you won't be able to get that treasure. Because, it is just a legend, the real treasure is spiritual, and when the kingdom is in turmoil, it has disappeared by itself. ”
