Chapter 120: Difficult Task, Strange Things
An Wenping's three tasks, the treasure is the most difficult to find, Zhao'an is in a stalemate, and people are already watching.
The handwriting of the Lin Xiang sent by the emperor, after An Wenping read it, he didn't find the clues, but he found the other party with a bad taste. That Lin Xiang seemed to have deliberately written the details of the treasure so clearly, and even drew the gold and silver treasures inside, even if it was as small as a golden bean, but there was no mention of the location of the treasure, even if it was a clue.
This is not helpful at all for An Wenping to find treasures, but it only increases people's fantasies and desires for treasures. Therefore, to find the treasure, he can only rely on the handwriting of Emperor Wenjun. There was one thing mentioned in it, in the northernmost part of the imperial dynasty, there was one of the emperors' families to rely on for the comeback.
Comparing the map at that time with the map now, An Wenping judged that the general location was in Dongkan Prefecture, but there was no way to know where it was. Presumably the treasure is very hidden, after all, Dongkan Prefecture was once the fief of the Yu royal family, and even they didn't know that there was a treasure in their fiefdom, which shows how difficult this treasure is to find.
After being sent to Xiangdu by Uncle Yu Yuan, An Wenping studied the geography, humanities, history and legends of Dongkan Prefecture, and visited the people from time to time to inquire about those strange things. Over the past ten years, the hard work has paid off and new progress has been made.
If it is said that the formation hall and the Jiagu Basin, which are famous for their formations in the world, are known to everyone on the surface, then the ghost fairy realm and the psychedelic island in the southwest sea on the mainland are places with formations that no one has confirmed in secret. And with An Wenping's unremitting efforts, he found that there was also a very strange place in the Xueling Mountain Range at the junction of Dongkan Prefecture and Dongliang Kingdom, which was probably protected by the formation.
After An Wenping's many visits and inquiries, and from the news heard from the residents of the nearby village, he judged that there must be people living in that strange place.
From the words they described, An Wenping concluded that the other party was a group of tall and strong women, with high force value and very strange personality preferences. Moreover, he studied the government cases over the years, and finally found a strange thing. In the towns near the Snow Mountains in Dongkan Prefecture, the number of boys and teenagers missing every year is several times higher than in other places, and the families of the missing boys and teenagers are also missing.
Don't lose girls, just lose boys, how can it make people feel weird, is it really a flower kidnapping // selling // children? Or abducted with his family?
An Wenping didn't know if there was a treasure there, but he felt that if there was really a formation there, then the people who were protected in the formation would most likely be like the Nujiang King clan who claimed to have been wiped out in history.
Advocating women as respect, protecting the family and defending the country, and forcibly taking them home when they see men like them, it seems that in addition to the wonderful female Jiangguo Yutai clan, he really can't think of other ethnic groups that can match the number. Most of the boys and teenagers who were abducted were helpless at home, and even if their parents were still alive, they even served the whole family, which shows that the other party is also very measured.
An Wenping didn't want to make a move on him and cause a big mess. You must know that in historical records, the clan of Shantai is all women, but they are really no worse than men. They are feminine, wild, uninhibited, unruly, and stubborn. If it weren't for the suppression of the Huangfu clan, the Yanhuang Continent wouldn't know what it would be like to be tossed by this clan.
However, over the years, the Emperor of Dijing has been urging more and more often, and he has asked more about the treasure. Don't look at the emperor's endless rewards in his palace, but every time he gives a reward, he brings the emperor's secret decree. Especially the last time Xiao Wu's incident happened again, he was afraid that the emperor would be suspicious of him and be dissatisfied with the progress here, which would affect the safety of his wife and children, so in order to make a difference, he finally reported the abnormality there.
Treasure is hard to find, but Zhao'an's mother-in-law is the most difficult thing to grasp, a little careless, will be disgusted by the mother-in-law's family, and it is possible to lose his wife and children.
But he also probed her tone countless times from his mother-in-law, and felt that his mother-in-law was interested in Zhao'an, as if his father-in-law was very resistant to this matter. In short, the matter is still in a stalemate, which is equivalent to no progress. However, An Wenping is biased towards recruiting An successfully, so he is still working hard for this. In his opinion, if there is a day when Zhao'an succeeds, his wife's background will no longer attract criticism, at least no one dares to say anything on the surface.
It can be said that for more than ten years, the only task he has completed is to find Lin Xiang's descendants, and this one thing was found after he became the son-in-law of the Mu family, using the relationship of the Mu family.
An Wenping didn't want to be involved in such a peaceful mountain village because of an inexplicable treasure, and let the person who had been forced to change his surname go through another catastrophe, although he reported Lin Huai's whereabouts, he also attached a warning. In the admonition, he suggested not to startle the snake, but to keep an eye on it, and if the other party couldn't hold it back and went to find the treasure, it would allow them to get the whereabouts of the treasure without much effort.
If the other party has not moved, it means that they can really endure it or really don't know the whereabouts of the treasure. In any case, let the other party relax their vigilance, if they know the whereabouts of the treasure but do not go there, then, one day, the other party will tell others the location of the treasure. If he didn't know the whereabouts of the treasure, it would be useless to catch him.
Sending people to keep an eye on them is ultimately the initiative.
Uncle Yu Yuan listened to his suggestion this time and agreed to let him send someone to keep an eye on Lin Huai. Of course, if An Wenping knew that the small mountain village where his family's Xiao Wu was now forced to hide was where Lin Huai, who he sent someone to watch, was located, he would definitely jump to his feet in a hurry and take action.
It's a pity that it was the boss of the Mu family who helped him find Lin Huai's whereabouts before, and it was the people below who found out where Lin Huai was hiding, and he didn't tell the boss of the Mu family, and even Mu Chengling didn't know about it at all. And this time, Mu Chengling more or less lacked trust in her son-in-law's family, and even didn't trust her son-in-law, in order to avoid revealing An Mingyu's whereabouts, even An Wenping and Mu Zixuan didn't tell her, she placed An Mingyu in Dali Village.
So An Wenping didn't know that at this moment, An Mingyu was in Dali Village. A few days before An Guogong arrived, he received a message from the person in charge of keeping an eye that the other party had left Dali Village.
He hadn't had time to report this news to the emperor in the imperial capital, and he didn't know if the purpose of Lin Huai's departure was to find treasures, so he could only wait for the person sent to keep an eye on him to send back the news again. I hope that the people he sent out will not lose people and will be able to act at the right time.
An Guogong's words when he opened his mouth to ask made An Wenping feel relieved, as long as it wasn't about his own Xiaowu, it wouldn't be a matter!
