168 Covert Operations
"What you said is also very reasonable, we can only take one step at a time."
The two of them rested for half an hour and continued to move forward cautiously.
Gradually, they found a lot of artificial traces on the grass and trees, and some people deliberately carved some strange symbols on the stones, probably so that their accomplices could come here and find the place in time.
This also inadvertently gave them a convenient way to quickly find the location of the group.
Because it was a little late, they found out where the group might be hiding and did not continue to chase them, but planned to rest and hurry after dawn.
The group of people seemed to have entered the mountains and forests, and it didn't take long to discover the true location of the treasure first.
The sky was slightly bright, and the two of them silently ate some dry food and prepared to go.
After half an hour, they saw a man dressed in black.
"Be careful, they should be not far from here, we don't know how many of them are doing things, we have to be vigilant!"
Ling Xiaoning nodded vigorously, and his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.
After a while of observation, they found that the group had already begun to excavate an area.
There were about 20 of them at the scene, more than 10 of them were digging pits, and the others were either in command or unknown to what they were studying.
"Looking at the situation of their excavation, in fact, it has been at least three or four days since they entered the mountain forest, and they have not yet dug up the guarantee, maybe the guarantee will be buried in the ground outside the house, because it is relatively deep, they still need to dig for a while."
"If that's really the case, it will be easy to do, although there are many of them, but there is no way, we have at least a few days to think about it."
"There may be a lot of gold and jewelry lying in the ground, even if we find a way to deal with it, their group of people will not be able to transport these treasures away with the strength of the two of us alone."
"If it goes well, I only hope that after we successfully solve this group of people, we can contact His Royal Highness the eldest prince and ask him to send someone to take these treasures away, so that he can have a guarantee and be able to stabilize people's hearts."
Because of some natural disasters and other relationships, the people's lives are not particularly good.
In some areas, the officials of the imperial court could not even afford to pay silver taels, and if they had a large amount of treasure, they could not only use it for ordinary people, but also strengthen the army.
His Royal Highness the Great Prince has this batch of treasures, even if it is a great credit, it will silence those who are dissatisfied with him.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement when he thought about it, he had been feeling useless these days, helping the eldest prince to do anything, so if the two of them successfully got the treasure, it would be a great credit.
"Then we must find a way to capture this treasure!"
"If it's just this group of people, it won't be much of a problem, I'm afraid that in addition to them, there are also people who already know where the treasure is hidden......"
"I hope not so many people know about it."
If it weren't for the two of them entering the mountains and forests by mistake, they wouldn't have found the place where the treasure was hidden.
Although the treasure map is drawn in great detail, the vastness of the motherland is not just that anyone can accurately find the location marked by the guarantee.
The two of them were secretly buried behind their backs for half a day, and the group of people had been digging a pit, and they couldn't see anything unusual for the time being.
It's night again.
Ling Xiaoning felt that he had to be cautious about secretly observing nearby, and he was really a little bored, so he suggested that the two of them go to a distant place for a while.
I'll come back and have a look when I'm rested, and there won't be anything new here for a while anyway.
Two hours later, the two men went out for a walk, ate some wild fruits, and returned.
During the day, more than 10 people were digging, and at night it became five or six people digging, and the rest of the people stood in different corners to guard in case there was any accident, and it seemed that the vigilance of this group of people was quite high.
In order not to find out, the two of them hid behind a large haystack to rest.
A night passed.
The man on the other side of the digging suddenly became agitated, and seemed to have found something.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but be curious, and wanted to run over to take a look, but he had to suppress his curiosity.
If the two of them suddenly appeared and were surrounded by this group of people, they would not only have no chance to get the treasure, but they might also be in danger of their lives.
"You think they must have opened a passage underneath, right?"
"I can't see it clearly here, so I can only wait quietly."
After a quarter of an hour, only two or three of the original 10 or so people were left to stand by the mound, and it seemed that the others had really found some underground passages and had gone to explore the real treasure.
"It's just going to be two or three people outside, so let's find a way to separate those people and then go see the situation."
"It's not very suitable, if the two of us go down together, I don't know what the situation is below, maybe there will be some."
In order to ensure that there was no danger to the two of them, Ji Xuanchen decided to find a way to attract the help and perseverance of the three people alone, and then secretly went underground to check the situation.
Ling Xiaoning had no other way but to agree with his approach, after all, he had no martial arts, and he could only become his oil bottle when the time came.
Ji Xuanchen successfully attracted the attention of two people, knocked the other person unconscious, and burrowed into the ground.
Quietly passed, and in an hour's time, more than 10 people came from the mountains and forests, and it seemed that they were in the same group as the group of people who dug the soil before.
When they found that their accomplices had been knocked unconscious, they immediately became vigilant, and four or five people searched everywhere, while the others stood still and waited.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but get nervous, and retreated again and again, for fear of being discovered by these people.
Ji Xuanchen still didn't know what the situation was underground, and if he was discovered by these people alone, it would be quite dangerous.
She doesn't have any martial arts, and if she is found by any person, she will be caught, if these people are extremely vicious, maybe she won't wait for her to explain and kill her on the spot.
"Take a closer look over there, don't miss any clues!"
"What to do? This group is coming soon......"
Ling Xiaoning hurriedly picked up a relatively large stone from the ground and threw it in the opposite direction to attract their attention.
She ran quickly in the opposite direction, but was still spotted.
"That person is there, hurry up and chase after him!"
"Ah......h
Ling Xiaoning accidentally tripped over his leg in a hurry and almost fell.
