Peerless Female Bandit: Carry A Husband Home - C224
The moment Dong Yan walked out of the house, she said to Murong Yun, “Master, someone was just in the old lady’s house. That person came from outside the city, and left some grass and soil on the doorstep.”
“You mean that female bandit is back?” Murong Yuntong looked at Dong Yan in shock, “How could she dare? The emperor of the Dazhou wants to capture her! ”
Dong Yan smiled, “Didn’t she say she didn’t take the map? I think she might have come back for the map. ”
Suddenly, Dong Yan’s face changed, she turned and looked back, “Who is it? Whoever dares to be so secretive in the house of the Marquis, quickly come out! ”
Murong Yuntong’s heart sank, seeing a cat running past a pillar behind him, she heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Dong Yan didn’t let down her guard. She turned and walked behind the pillar, picking up a piece of Jade Orchid Flower petal from the ground. She rubbed it until it was minced and looked at Murong Yuntong seriously.
From her expression, Murong Yuntong could already tell that what they had said just now had been heard by someone.
Yue Ying didn’t know that there were already two groups of people eyeing her. She just wanted to talk to Old Lady Wang, then take the map and leave.
Not long after Murong Yuntong left, Yue Ying returned to the Old Lady Wang’s house and said, “Why are you allowing her to wander around? Don’t you understand that she’s a spy? ”
Old Lady Wang pursed her lips, “For the sake of our child, just endure it for now. Just keep an eye on them.”
Yue Ying shook her head, “By nurturing a tiger like this, she will cause trouble, and eventually she will take a bite out of me.”
Old Lady Wang did not say anything, she only stared at Yue Ying and asked, “The map is still in your hands?”
Yue Ying was startled, she then remembered that when the Old Lady Wang was shot, she said that she would destroy the map, but she was afraid that Tie Yi was sad and did not destroy it, she just hid away.
Now that the Old Lady Wang suddenly asked about this, Yue Ying nodded her head in shame and said, “Actually I already know the secret of the map, the Queen said that there is a treasure recorded on the map, although I do not know what it is, but seeing how the Emperor has spent so much effort to obtain the map, I do not want to destroy it anymore.”
The Old Lady Wang sighed and said, “What treasure map, that is actually an agreement. The matter from 30 years ago involved the Yue Clan, and it was only a rumor created by the First Emperor to cover up the truth, and that is why our Iron family was in the Ancestral Hall for more than 30 years because of the brush left behind by our ancestors. Who would dare to say that it was a treasure map?”
Hearing that, Yue Ying felt that this was a conspiracy, but Old Lady Wang only suspected that the people who hated the Iron family were trying to frame her, but she did not have any evidence. However, Yue Ying had heard the Empress say that the map was a treasure map. Although she didn’t say that it was a Iron family, her solemn and sincere tone didn’t seem to be a lie. If she wanted to harm the Iron family, why would she marry her daughter to Tie Yi? Her thoughts were too deep.
“I should hide the map first. If there’s really something that needs to be done, then there’s no need to rush. If it really is destroyed, and the emperor makes the Iron family hand over the map, wouldn’t the Iron family be sentenced to death?”
Old Lady Wang sighed, and after talking for a long time, her spirits were a little low, “Then you can just draw a few more, to prevent everyone from fighting over the treasures, who would want to look for the treasures, that was really naive, at that time when we fought everyday, when we could not even eat, where did the treasures come from? Is your brain made of grass? ”
Seeing that the Old Lady Wang could not keep her eyes open, Yue Ying immediately said, “Then please take a rest, I will come to see you again in the future.”
Old Lady Wang nodded, she covered the old lady with the peony and sent Yue Ying out.
Yue Ying asked for pen and paper, then went to the house she was imprisoned in, only to see that the painting was no longer in its original position, and had already been moved.
No matter who it was, it proved that there were more than one wave of people coveting the map. Yue Ying only knew two waves: Murong Yun and the Emperor.
Just now, Murong Yun had greeted the Old Lady Wang and was then stopped by Tie Ji. Presumably, she had already guessed that she had come here, and if she had come here before, she would definitely come again. Yue Ying laughed coldly, and said, “People die for money, so what’s the use?”
Without further ado, Yue Ying took out the map and looked for Tie Ji, asking, “Do you still have the old map from 30 years ago?”
Tie Ji laughed and asked, “Why are you thinking of this?”
Yue Ying laughed, “Anyway, none of them have ever seen a real map before, so it’s better for me to find an old map to pretend that it’s real.”
Tie Ji nodded his head, “This plan works, but in the past, most of the maps are in the army Headquarters, only a few generals have a map, let me help you look for the map from 30 years ago.”
Yue Ying was curious, “How did you get the old map?”
Tie Ji’s eyes froze, and immediately regained his clarity, “I have also served in the army before.”
Yue Ying knew that her words reminded him of some unpleasant things from the past, and she quickly apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose, I only …”
“It’s okay, it’s over. Although my heart still hurts when I think about it, it’s not as unbearable as it was then.” Tie Ji’s words were a little dejected, but Yue Ying felt a little sad listening to him.
Tie Ji rummaged through his miraculous wooden box for a long time. From the lowest floor, he took out a wooden box and seriously touched the box.
Seeing that he did not move for a long time, Yue Ying reached her head out to look, but suddenly Tie Ji turned around to look, only to see that there was a familiar pattern on the box, as if she had seen it somewhere before. When Empress passed away, Noble Consort Guo went over to her and cursed at her, that’s right, that was the pattern embroidered on the old handkerchief in Noble Consort Guo’s hand.
Yue Ying’s eyes lit up, she really did not expect Tie Ji to be so sultry! So it turns out that the Noble Consort Guo was his sweetheart in the past, and they were enemies on narrow paths. The Prime Minister Guo was always at odds with the Iron family, could it be that the culprit was this man with a broken leg in front of him?
Yue Ying looked at Tie Ji seriously. Her eyebrows were thick, and her eyes gave off a sense of wisdom. She had a square face with a high nose bridge.
She secretly praised him in her heart.
If Tie Ji did not lose both his legs, he would have been a brave and fierce man. Yue Ying could imagine how handsome and handsome he was when he was young.
What a pity!
“What are you thinking about? “He’s so lost in thought?”
Yue Ying realised that she was in a daze, she called her a few times but she did not hear anything.
“Why?”
“Which one do you like?” Tie Ji took out the well-preserved old map out of the box.
