The ugly concubine is all over the city, the prince is blind

Chapter 293

After reading the letter, knowing the purpose of Ling Zihang's visit, Shen Jinyan put the letter away, and then carefully looked at Ling Zihang who was sitting opposite.

Sometimes, Shen Jinyan used intuition to comfort himself, and this time it was the same.

She always felt that Ling Zihang in front of her was very familiar, just like meeting Mo Qianying for the first time, as if she had seen him somewhere.

Although she still can't confirm whether there was any relationship between her and Mo Qianying before, she can see that the man was really kind to her, and most of the time he was really merciful, but This is how I feel when I look at Ling Zihang at this time.

According to the information obtained at the beginning, although Ling Zihang is the young master of Lingcheng, he has been staying in bed for many years because of his earlier illness. This also proves that it was the first time they met in Huangpu Kingdom, but that A feeling of deja vu welled up in my heart.

Moreover, Huang Pu Xize also said that Ling Zihang's coming to Huangpu country was most likely for the blood jade, but among the people who went to the imperial mausoleum to fight for the blood jade and assassinate them, there was no one from Lingcheng. It proves that Ling Zihang didn't come here for this reason, that's why, all of this now makes no sense.

Taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Shen Jinyan hid the thoughts in his heart, and then asked with a smile: "Master Ling, I wonder if we met in other places before?"

Hearing this, Ling Zihang paused while drinking tea, took a sip of tea under Shen Jinyan's scrutiny, put the teacup back on the table, and then said calmly: "Ninth Princess, I have been living in Lingcheng for a long time. , I have never been to the place, and if I have seen such a stunning and alluring appearance like the Ninth Princess, I must remember it, but the fact is that I have never seen you, the Ninth Concubine. I have never seen me before, and the world is full of wonders, many people look alike, and many people look alike, Ninth Princess, you are in a high position, you must have met a lot of people, it is not surprising to think so."

Shen Jinyan wasn't even half frustrated when he didn't ask what he wanted.

"Young Master Ling is right. Maybe it's because I miss my old friend so much that when I see Young Master Ling, I feel that you are too familiar. I can't help but ask those words. I hope Young Master Ling doesn't mind. It is."

"The Ninth Concubine is serious." Ling Zihang said with a smile, and immediately took out the fragment of the treasure map from his body and handed it to Shen Jinyan, "Ninth Concubine, this is the map of the devil, and Ninth Concubine, you just looked at it. After reading the letter, I must have understood the idea of ​​the Demon Lord."

Shen Jinyan glanced at the map on the table, and nodded lightly, "He has already written it clearly in the letter, Young Master Ling, since everyone is anxious about the treasure, we will be outside the imperial city tomorrow. How about we meet in the grove and go hunting for treasure earlier?"

"The Ninth Princess has already made a decision, so I'd rather be respectful than follow her orders."

While speaking, Ling Zihang also took back the map that proved his identity and put it on his body again.

"Ninth Princess, it's getting late, so I won't bother you any more."

"Young Master Ling doesn't intend to stay and have a meal before leaving?" Shen Jinyan raised his eyebrows.

"Ninth Concubine, after all, I am representing Lingcheng as an envoy to the Huangpu Kingdom. My identity is a bit troublesome, and Ninth Concubine, you will leave when you explain the date, so I have to deal with it within a limited time. If not, A dignified envoy disappears in Huangpu Kingdom for no reason, once it attracts the attention of many parties, it will cause a lot of troubles, which is not good for all of us."

"Young Master Ling is right. If that's the case, I won't keep you."

"Ninth Concubine, see you tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, Ling Zihang quickly walked out of the room, went downstairs, went straight out of Zuixian Tower, got into the carriage, turned around in the alley, and then sneaked into Qiao's mansion alone.

Qiao Jinling, who was in retreat, had long heard someone approaching. He didn't open his eyes until he heard the sound of the stone gate.

Seeing Ling Zihang's familiar figure striding towards him, he adjusted his breath a bit and paid off, then quickly stepped off the ice bed, walked to the ice sculpture table next to him and sat down.

Picking up the teapot on the table, Qiao Jinling's internal force output, the teapot that had been frozen into ice instantly heated up, and even the water immediately warmed up. He took two cups and poured two cups of tea.

"See Jinyan."

Seeing Ling Zihang nod his head, Qiao Jinling knew that he had seen someone, glanced at him, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Explain that we will meet in the grove outside the imperial city." Ling Zihang answered truthfully.

A low acknowledgment was regarded as an answer, and Qiao Jinling couldn't help thinking of the scene of Shen Jinyan sleeping next to him in the plum blossom forest that day. Although it was a bit compulsive, such a scene was something that he wanted to forget but couldn't forget. .

Qiao Jinling's thoughts returned only when Ling Zihang's voice calling for the son came from his ear.

"The war is imminent, and the Ninth Prince lacks money now. If he really wants to unify the world, he must have money, and hunting for treasures is the only and fastest way for them to get money. Naturally, he wants to try his luck. What's more, they are all gathered now, so it's no wonder they are not in a hurry."

As soon as the words were finished, Qiao Jinling spit out two mouthfuls of blood, and Ling Zihang who was standing next to him was very nervous.

That night in the palace, he heard Shen Jin say that she was pregnant, and he told Qiao Jinling the words when he came back, but he didn't want to. It was he who went mad and stopped this phenomenon at a critical moment, but even so, Qiao Jinling was still seriously injured.

"Son—"

Ling Zihang yelled hurriedly, feeling the worry in his words, Qiao Jinling raised his hand to indicate that he was fine, then tapped a few big acupuncture points on his body, and then said in a deep voice: "Next, I will truly retreat. When you are on the way to find the treasure, remember to protect your words."

"Don't worry, the person you care about, whether in the past or in the future, I will protect you even if I die."

This is the oath he Ling Zihang made before, and he will carry it out in the future.

This time, Qiao Jinling didn't speak any more, sensing that he seemed to be distracted, Ling Zihang sighed in his heart, and quickly walked out of the ice room, just as he walked out, he ran into someone who was about to enter the ice room with a medicinal soup Gu punchlines.

"Punch line—"

Looking at Ling Zihang's eyes full of complex emotions, Gu Miaoyu thought a lot in her heart, then smiled lingeringly, and said openly, "Senior brother—"

A faint sentence of senior brother made Ling Zihang aware of the relationship between them. There was a faint wry smile on the corner of his lips, but the words that came to his lips were not uttered after all. He nodded at Gu Miaoyu, stepped forward, and went straight Passed by her.

Relying on her keen senses, Gu Miaoyu, who was stunned in place, knew that Ling Zihang had gone far, so she turned her head to take a look, but within a few breaths, she heard a few weak coughing sounds, Gu Miaoyu Only then did he wake up like a dream, and quickly stepped into the ice room through the secret door.

When her figure disappeared at the door of the ice room, Ling Zihang, who was hiding at the corner of the corridor, leaned out and took a look at the place where Gu Miaoyu disappeared, with a look of disappointment on his face.

Hearing the sound of footsteps and a few voices of arguing, Qiao Jinling tapped his toes and disappeared in place.

At the same time, Shen Jinyan, who was in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, was also not idle. After reporting to Huang Pu Xize what happened in the Zuixian Tower, he started to make all the arrangements.

At night, after Huang Pu Xize and Shen Jinyan avoided the spies outside the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Huang Pu Xize used his lightness kung fu and led Shen Jinyan to the grove outside the imperial city with all his strength to meet Ling Zihang. , found that no one was following him, so he walked in hiding, and after a disguise, he stayed in the Longmen Inn.

After arriving at the Dragon Inn, in order to determine the exact location of the treasure, Shen Jinyan and Huang Pu Xize also found Ling Zihang. After explaining their purpose, they pieced together the treasure map they held in their hands.

"There seems to be something wrong with this map. According to the records in the travel notes, what appears on it seems to be too different from the current Four Kingdoms and Six Cities, and there are too many marked coordinates on it. As a result, we can't find the location of the treasure at all. "Huang Pu Xize frowned.

He always thought that it would be enough to gather all the treasures on the map, but he obviously didn't expect that at this last moment, the exact location of the treasures could not be confirmed.

Ever since Shen Jinyan received Ling Zihang's letter that day, they had guessed that Mo Qianying might not appear. He and Shen Jinyan had studied the map in private, but because there was a gap, they couldn't find the exact location. As soon as they got together, they planned to leave the imperial city and look at the map again, but they didn't want to, now that they got together on the map, the final result would still be the same.

"We have been studying the map for the past few days, but the exact location of all the treasures on this map can't be estimated for a while. Just now you also said that the gap is too big. Could this map be fake?"

Faced with Shen Jinyan's doubts, Huang Pu Xize was the first to shake his head and deny, "No, this treasure was left by the ancestors for the younger generation. If someone gets the treasure, then the only possibility is that our way of finding the specific location is wrong."

"The Ninth Prince is right. At least our ancestors never reported who got the treasure." Ling Zihang, who had never spoken, echoed.

After hearing what these two people said, Shen Jinyan couldn't help but fell into deep thought, staring at the patched map in a daze. After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly came to her senses.

"My lord, young master Ling, do you think this mountain range is similar to the mountain range of Xuanyuan Kingdom?"

As soon as Shen Jinyan's words came out, Huang Pu Xize looked down at the direction of Shen Jinyan's finger, compared it with the mountain range he saw before in his mind, nodded and said: "Yes, it is exactly the same."

"Then what did you mean just now that we turned the map upside down?" Ling Zihang asked puzzled after reacting.

"No, it shouldn't be upside down! It's that those on the map were printed by someone." Shen Jinyan affirmed.

"Shen Jinyan is right, this map was indeed printed." Huang Pu Xize echoed.

After finding the problem, Shen Jinyan and the others also divided their labor and cooperated, and printed the map on the cloth on the rice paper in twos and twos. Compared with the current four countries and six cities, although there is a gap, the gap is not that big.

The map on the rice paper is more pleasing to the eye. Shen Jinyan and the others circled the iconic locations. After looking around, they finally found the place where the treasure is most likely to exist.

"This place is the cliff in the back mountain of Yuncheng!"
