Chapter 220 Snake Forest 23
Even though she had many ways to prevent snakes from entering, and could eliminate the snake forest at the entrance once and for all, and had many effective antidotes, or even set up a barrier... it was unnecessary, wasn't it? In this small world, she had no intention of living in seclusion.
Moreover, the climate here is constantly rainy and the air is humid, which she doesn't particularly like.
Ziyue teleported directly into the cave where the treasure was hidden. There were actually no traps or hidden weapons here, probably because of the complex terrain outside, such as the snake forest and swamp.
After all, it was prepared in case future generations might choose to rebel again. Besides a large amount of gold and silver, there were only some weapons and a small amount of food left.
As for the weapons, they were already rusty and would break at the slightest touch.
As for the grain, please, hundreds of years have passed; it's long since rotted into dust.
Ziyue glanced at it and found that there were about two million taels of gold and silver, as well as boxes of jade, gemstones, and other jewelry.
That's indeed a considerable sum of money.
Ziyue has not made any moves yet.
She'll bring Qin Guang along later so he has a general idea of how much grain this batch of gold and silver can buy. She won't hold anything back.
-
Meanwhile, Ziyue returned to the Qianshan Inn at the foot of the mountain.
"how?"
At this moment, Qin Guang was once again acting like a dashing and dissolute young master, sitting idly with his chin propped up on one hand, leaning against the table, looking at Zi Yue sitting opposite him.
He had expected that Ziyue would find the place quickly, but he didn't expect her to return so early.
He thought she wouldn't be back until evening.
However, seeing that she came back so early, there must be good news already.
Sure enough, seeing Ziyue nod, Qin Guang gave her a thumbs up in admiration.
He's been here for several days, but he only has a general idea of where he's going.
Specifically, we still need to search and determine it step by step.
He knew that Ziyue knew some things about Qimen Dunjia and Bagua formations. Although he didn't understand them, it didn't matter. He felt that with Ziyue's help, they would definitely find the whereabouts of that treasure very quickly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a special trip to the capital in the first place.
As expected, asking Ziyue to take action was the right decision.
"That place is a natural treasure trove, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The entrance is extremely hidden, and there is a large snake forest at the entrance. Beyond the snake forest, there is a large swamp. Unless you are extremely familiar with the location and environment of that place and have the ability to deal with the snakes, you will never return from there."
Hearing Ziyue say this, Qin Guang raised an eyebrow, "Snake Forest, huh? Tsk tsk, that's not a good place to venture."
He had heard from the locals that the snake forest was thousands of meters in circumference and contained countless snakes; anyone who strayed into it never came out alive.
Therefore, the locals avoid that area and always try to stay as far away from it as possible.
In response, he could only sigh and say that the Imperial Concubine of the Moonlit Kingdom seemed to have a knack for dealing with snakes.
Ziyue also explained the situation of the treasure. It was already late, and she had planned to take Qin Guang to the cave where the treasure was hidden the next day. However, Qin Guang looked at her with a "what are you doing?" expression.
Qin Guang shook his head. "Do I not know you? You don't care about gold and silver treasures. Those things probably don't attract you as much as a bowl of fragrant wontons from a roadside stall. I won't go there. Now that the treasure has been found, I won't linger here any longer. There are still a lot of things to do at Jishantang."
Alright, since this person trusts her, she naturally has no objection.
So that night, Ziyue went to the room that Qin Guang had booked in advance next door to rest for the night. The next day, Qin Guang left early and didn't care about the rest.
With Ziyue here, why is he taking on more work for himself? Is he stupid?
Of course, we should run away as fast as we can, lest Ziyue conscript us!
On this day, Ziyue went to the cave where the treasure was hidden again and put everything into her spatial storage.
The remaining task was to distribute grain and other goods of equal value to the warehouses of the various charity halls.
She did this with ease.
However, there's no rush. She has plenty of food in her space. Qin Guang also assumes she has her own channels and won't ask too many questions. But there will still be some preparation time, won't there?
So, Ziyue traveled leisurely, sightseeing along the way, and made her way to the capital, completely forgetting about her new boyfriend.
She was having a great time outside, while the man who had just gained recognition in a certain identity was abandoned in the capital and was now practically a statue waiting for his wife.
Lin Yanzhi didn't know exactly when Ziyue would return, so he went to Jinzui Garden every day, just so he could see her as soon as she came back.
That day, as soon as Ziyue entered Jinzui Garden through the back door, Lin Yanzhi's eyes lit up. He leaped down from the second floor and appeared in front of Ziyue in the blink of an eye.
He stared intently at the girl in front of him, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
He longed to hold the girl tightly in his arms, but he was afraid of being too forward and offending Ziyue.
Seeing his eager look, wanting to go forward but afraid of being too forward, Ziyue took the initiative to give him a loving hug.
With the soft, fragrant body in his arms, Lin Yanzhi's eyes lit up. This wasn't him taking the initiative; it was Ziyue!
Lin Yanzhi's eyes sparkled, a blush appeared on his cheeks, he wrapped his arms around Ziyue's waist, rubbed his cheek against her neck, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
The head, buried in Ziyue's neck, remained buried for a long time before finally lifting up. "Yueyue, you're finally back. I missed you so much. I missed you while eating, drinking, reading, practicing martial arts, and even in my dreams. When you go on your next long trip, please take me with you, okay?"
The voice rang in her ear, gentle as a small brush, slowly and softly touching Ziyue's heart.
It made her heart melt.
"Okay, I'll take you with me next time."
Hearing this, Lin Yanzhi was satisfied and released the person, then pulled him into the room, serving him tea and water.
When Ziyue finished washing up and came out, several side dishes and some particularly beautiful pastries were already laid out on the table.
"I've tried some of the new desserts the chefs at the manor have been researching, and they should suit your taste. Try them in a bit and see if they're to your liking. If not, have them revise them."
These days, with Ziyue away, he had nothing to do, so he urged the cooks in the manor to come up with new recipes.
He prepares a portion every day when he comes over, just in case Ziyue comes back and can eat it.
Ziyue actually ate well, drank well, slept well, and had fun every day, but Lin Yanzhi didn't know that. He always felt that she, as a girl, must have suffered a lot because of the long journey and sleeping outdoors.
Therefore, Lin Yanzhi spent the whole time serving food to Ziyue and watching her eat, but he didn't eat much himself.
With delicious food and a beautiful woman attentive to her, Ziyue naturally enjoyed her meal.
After everything was taken down, Ziyue pulled Lin Yan up to the third floor.
This was Lin Yanzhi's first time on the third floor. He had only been to the second floor before. They usually met in the second-floor reception room or the second-floor restaurant.
The third floor is Ziyue's private territory, and no one is allowed to set foot there without her permission.
As far as he knew, even Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang had never been to the third floor over the years; only Xingchen, Xingmeng, and Zhen'er were allowed to set foot on the third floor.
Now that Ziyue is willing to take him to the third floor, isn't that the same as entering her boudoir?
Thinking of this, Lin Yanzhi couldn't help but feel a little thirsty, and he didn't dare to look around carelessly.
Ziyue pulled Lin Yanzhi to the small living room next to her room. The room was decorated according to her own preferences, with soft fabric sofas and cute cushions...
Ziyue pulled Lin Yanzhi to sit on the sofa.
Lin Yanzhi felt his body sink into the soft, comfortable surface the moment he sat down.
Looking around, you see strange-looking but cute things casually placed there.
There's an indescribable, warm, homey feeling about it.
