Chapter 191 Treasure
Cheng San was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Shu Yan meaningfully.

Then he slipped and fell straight down a hillside. Shu Yan hurriedly reached out to pull Cheng San, but it was too late.

Cheng San slid directly to the bottom of the slope, and Shu Yan immediately said, "Cheng San, are you okay?"

After a while, Cheng San's voice came from the bottom of the slope.

"Oh my God, godmother, guess what I saw, come down quickly!"

Shu Yan hurried down from the top of the slope. The ground below was full of mud, water and gravel, but he emerged with a dark hole.

Cheng San used a shovel to knock off a large piece of soil, revealing the artificially carved ring patterns at the entrance of the cave.

Shu Yan reached out his hand to clean up the dirt on it, and was immediately shocked.

"This is what we saw on the snowy mountain. What we are looking for is inside."

The White Lotus Sect wreaked havoc in Dayin for more than 20 years, not only occupying the copper mines but also plundering huge amounts of wealth.

Various rebel forces have been searching for this treasure.

Shu Yan and Cheng San looked at each other, and Cheng San said faintly: "Godmother hid it so well, I really thought you were going to live here in your old age."

Shu Yan lit a torch and took Cheng San into the cave.

The inside of the cave was pitch black, with a lot of stagnant water and mud, but one could feel that it was very large.

"If you want to do something big, you need money. If you don't have money, you can't accomplish anything."

Cheng San walked behind Shu Yan and asked thoughtfully, "How is Godmother going to get this money out?"

Shu Yan was about to speak when she suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. In the chaos, she groped for a hard iron lump.

Shu Yan quickly picked up the iron lump and cleaned the mud and water off it with great effort.

When I shone the torch, a layer of golden light appeared above.

This is a golden lotus.

Cheng San hurriedly bent down and rubbed out many similar things in the mud and water. He seemed to have seen something remarkable, so he hurriedly called Shu Yan over.

At the deepest part of the cave, there was a statue. Cheng San knocked on the statue with his hand and said in shock, "Godmother, this is pure gold."

Even Shu Yan felt a little dry in the mouth at this moment. She knew that the White Lotus Sect was rich, but she never thought they were so rich.

A golden statue weighing several tons.

Judging from the situation, there might be other things in this cave. If they can really move these things out, they will have money to recruit soldiers.

Shu Yan and Cheng San left the place, hid the cave, and then hurried back.

After returning to the place, it was already late at night. Shu Yan vaguely saw two horses tied at the gate of the county government office.

Shu Yan's eyelids jumped, and she said to Cheng San, "You go to the intersection and wait for Bai Guichen and the others. Once they are all here, quickly move the things away. I will take care of these people."

Cheng San nodded, and then he asked, "Where should we transport the things to?"

Shu Yan chuckled and looked at the sunset in the distance.

"Jiangnan."

Shu Yan returned to the county government office alone. Song Yin and an old acquaintance were sitting in the room. As soon as Shu Yan entered, he heard Qixiu's laughter.

She was taller, the scars on her face had disappeared, and she looked more beautiful than before.

There was a bit more shrewdness and calculation in her eyes. After seeing Shu Yan, Qixiu quickly stood up and walked quickly to Shu Yan's side. She didn't even mind the dirt on Shu Yan's hands.

"Godmother, I heard that you have suffered a lot here. Now I am very popular with the King of Xiliang, and I am thinking of taking you to Xiliang to enjoy a peaceful life."

Shu Yan was stunned. She used to have a very good relationship with Lin Xun, but now this girl actually wanted her to go to Xiliang. She must have known something.

Shu Yan had a smile on his face and grabbed Qixiu's hand.

"You are kind-hearted, but Scholar Su has already arranged a small official position for my son. As a mother, I naturally have to stay by his side."

Qixiu smiled, she sat aside, her eyes slightly narrowed, completely different from the girl she used to be.

"Where is Brother Yun Zhong this time? Why can't I see him?"

Shu Yan also found a place to sit down. She said, "This kid has gone to Taizhou to report. I'm afraid it will take a few days for him to arrive."

Qixiu took out a jade bracelet from her bosom, she gently placed it on the table, and said to Shu Yan: "This is something the King of Xiliang specially ordered me to deliver, saying it's a gift for godmother."

Shu Yan took the jade bracelet. It was a refreshing green and it was obvious at first glance that it was priceless.

Qixiu said: "Now the little emperors of the southwest have all been married to the Su family. Yu'an has close relations with the various clans in Jiangnan. I'm afraid those great clans in Jiangnan will never forget what Godmother did in Jiangnan."

What Shu Yan and Chen Shengzhi did in Jiangnan directly affected the interests of many Jiangnan families. Shu Yan was even expelled from the Wang family.

Naturally, those people tried every means to drive Shu Yan out.

Shu Yan sighed and looked at Qixiu, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, they turned into a cough.

At this moment, a group of bandits with knives came in from outside. Among the crowd, the one-eyed lady strode forward and looked at Shu Yan viciously.

It was as if Shu Yan had done something extremely bad.

"How many sons do you have?"

It was obvious that the one-eyed lady had connections with people in Taizhou, so Shu Yan naturally couldn't act rashly.

"I went to Taizhou to report."

The one-eyed lady stretched out her hand and pointed the knife at Shu Yan.

"There was only one official, but three of them went."

Shu Yan smiled.

"Young people can't stand the hardship in the mountain villages and want to go to the city to enjoy themselves. Is there any problem with that?"

A dark-faced man next to the one-eyed lady leaned close to her ear and said a few words, and the one-eyed lady's face suddenly changed.

She looked at Shu Yan and sneered, "Stop pretending here. If you want to live, tell me where that thing is!"

When Qixiu heard this, her face suddenly darkened. The purpose of her coming here was exactly that thing.

Shu Yan chuckled.

"What are you talking about?"

The one-eyed lady's knife was already approaching Shu Yan's neck, and the heavy blade was pressing on Shu Yan's shoulder, but Shu Yan had no doubts.

With one cut, her head and body would be separated.

"Even if you kill me, I can't guess what's in your mind, right?"

The one-eyed lady gnashed her teeth and said, "Of course it's the treasure of the White Lotus Sect. You were the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect back then, and you chose this place on purpose. I'm afraid you've already found the treasure?"

I have to say this guy’s guess was pretty accurate.

Shu Yan sneered, and his expression seemed to be asking for a beating. The one-eyed lady was anxious and increased the strength of her hands.

Shu Yan only felt his neck burning. Qixiu was anxious, so she blew a whistle quickly, and dozens of soldiers in black armor suddenly appeared outside.

When the one-eyed lady saw these people, she was immediately surprised and asked, "Liangzhou Guards?"
