Chapter 357 Deerskin Map

Xiao Yichen bent down, picked it up and opened it. It was a piece of deerskin more than half a foot wide. The deerskin was yellow and had a strong smell. It had obviously been stored for a long time. There were strange patterns, circles and lines on it. The lines connected the patterns and circles into a whole, as if conveying some kind of message.

Xiao Yichen was a little confused. Who drew this deerskin picture? What did the patterns, circles and thin lines in the picture represent?
Something flashed through his mind but he couldn't grasp it, so he walked over with the deerskin: "Jia Jia, take a look at this deerskin?"

Shen Jia took the deerskin and looked at the pattern on it carefully. She felt that the pattern looked a bit like a lake, a big tree, and a cave. She moved her eyes away from the pattern and observed the entire deerskin, and found that the lines looked like rolling mountains.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. Didn't TV dramas in my past life often have treasure maps? Could this deerskin be a treasure map from a certain dynasty?
Thinking about it this way, the more Shen Jia looked at it, the more he felt that the information conveyed by the deerskin was the legendary treasure map.

Xiao Yichen looked at her suspiciously: "Did you think of something?"

Shen Jia nodded hurriedly: "Achen, do you think this looks like a treasure map?"

"Treasure map?" Xiao Yichen looked puzzled.

Shen Jia nodded and pointed at one of the symbols on the deerskin. "Does the shape of this pattern look like a lake?"

Xiao Yichen looked in the direction of her finger and said, "Now that you mention it, it really does look like a lake."

“Is this a mountain shaped like a triangle?”

"Correct."

"Are there two mountains here? Is there a big rock in the middle? Is there a cave under the rock?"

Xiao Yichen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, it does look very similar. These circles may be the springs. And these lines must be the routes."

"That's right, that's why I said this is a treasure map."

"Treasure map, treasure, I haven't heard of the rumor that there is treasure in this world?"

"It may be a treasure we don't know about. Anyway, we should just copy it out first."

"Ok!"

Xiao Yichen did what he said and took out a charcoal pencil and paper from his small backpack.

Shen Jia knew that he was not as good as Xiao Yichen in painting, so he went to the door to watch for him.

When a patrol came, she would use Mi'er to tell him to hide the night pearl so as not to alert them.

Xiao Yichen worked quickly and finished copying it in just three quarters of an hour. After checking carefully and making sure there were no problems, he stuffed the deerskin back into Amur's pocket.

After putting away the copied map, the two went to the next tent.

After Shen Jia threw the sleeping pills in, Xiao Yichen walked in boldly and saw that the person living inside was none other than Xiao Hongbin, who was lying on the bed with a beautiful woman in his arms, looking very satisfied. The woman looked rosy-skinned and had gained a little weight.

I guess they have been having a very comfortable time during this period.

Unfortunately, the time had not yet come to kill him, so Xiao Yichen had to suppress the urge to kill him.

There were a lot of things in Xiao Hongbin's tent, including quite a few letters. Xiao Yichen opened each letter and read them. These letters were written by generals from various military camps of the Great Zhou who had surrendered to him.

The letter stated that they had been secretly raising manpower in accordance with Xiao Hongbin's instructions and were ready to attack the capital at any time.

Xiao Yichen's eyebrows were slightly cold, and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his lips: This idiot Xiao Hongbin probably doesn't know that these people have been arrested by the ministers and secret guards he sent, and are now on their way back to Beijing.

After searching for a while and not finding anything useful, Xiao Yichen sprinkled some powder on Xiao Hongbin's body, turned around and strode out of his tent with Shen Jia.

The next step was to find the tent where the food and medicine were stored. The two avoided the patrol team and quietly shuttled through the camp and secretly memorized the route here. A strong smell of medicine wafted over, and it seemed that this was the tent where the medicine was stored.

It was already the end of the Chou hour, the most sleepy time. The Tatar soldiers on duty were snoring loudly, and there were eight of them from the sound.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, then they flashed and pressed the acupoints of four people, then walked into the tent.

All he saw were bags of medicinal herbs arranged in different categories. Shen Jia opened a few of the bags and checked, and found that they were all top-quality medicinal herbs.

Looking at the pile of medicinal herbs in front of him that was as high as a mountain, Shen Jia gritted his teeth and wished he could set it on fire right now.

Xiao Yichen stepped forward and held her hand, "Don't be angry."

Shen Jia raised his eyes and smiled: "These are all top-quality medicinal herbs. I won't burn them easily unless I have no other choice."

"It's up to you. Now let's go check out their granary."

The granary was right next door, and the two men went in using the same method.

There were bags of grain piled inside. Shen Jia opened one of the bags and suddenly found white flour inside.

"With so much food and supplies as a backup, it's no wonder they are not in a hurry to attack us."

Xiao Yichen nodded. "Logically speaking, after a month of rest, an army of 250,000 soldiers shouldn't have so much food and grass. But their granaries have so much food and grass. Where did they get it from? There must be a reason we don't know."

"Well! This is a question worth our further study."

"It's almost dawn, and there are more and more patrols. Let's go back and make a long-term plan."

The two men avoided the patrol team and left the Tatar camp unhindered, using their lightness skills to quickly rush towards Wucheng.

It was already daybreak when they arrived at Wucheng. They jumped up with a light tap of their toes and climbed onto the city wall with a few empty steps.

When the soldiers on duty on the city wall saw this scene, they all opened their mouths wide and stared at them with scorching eyes, the admiration in their eyes almost overflowing from their eyes. When they walked away, they began to discuss in a low voice.

"Your Highness and the Princess are so amazing!"

"As light as a swallow, as fast as a flying bird. I wish I could have such amazing martial arts skills."

"Stop daydreaming. Is it possible for ordinary people to learn the martial arts of His Highness and the Princess? It would be more practical to train the County Bishop in spear and sword skills."

"That's true. The sword and gun skills taught to us by the county magistrate are extremely exquisite. As long as we learn the essence of them, we will be amazing."

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen just wanted to get back to the house as soon as possible and had no idea what the soldiers were talking about.

With things on their minds, they did not feel sleepy at all despite staying up all night. After returning to the house, they went straight to the study.

The two sat opposite each other.

Xiao Yichen took out the copied map from his pocket and frowned in thought.

Shen Jiaze took out a red clay stove and a small teapot to boil water and prepare to make tea. He warmed the pot, added tea leaves, moistened the tea leaves, brewed the tea, poured the tea, and divided the tea. His movements were pleasing to the eye and smooth as flowing water.

"Achen, have a cup of tea first and relax." After Shen Jia poured a cup of tea for each of them, he lazily leaned back in the chair.

Xiao Yichen picked up the teacup, carefully opened the lid, took a sip, and then pointed to the copied map and said, "Jia Jia, this place is very similar to a place I've been to."

Shen Jia sat up straight instantly, "Where is it?"
