Chapter 381: Born Unseen, Died Unburied (Extra Chapter)



Indeed, since the treasure has disappeared, his treasure hunting activities in this place should no longer be mentioned.

Various forces are looking for this batch of treasures. He doesn’t want to get involved in all these, so he has to play dumb.

This Ma Dongshu really understood his thoughts… He deserves praise.

Seeing Yang Yefeng’s obvious satisfaction, Ma Dongshu pretended not to notice and continued talking, “Both His Highness, the Prince, and General Cen agree that this secret tunnel used to be the storage for the previous dynasty’s treasure.”

“Oh? Why are they so convinced?” YangYe’s handsome face showed a well- placed look of surprise.

“Because the bricks here aren’t made by any human force, it’s very similar to how that woman disappeared with the treasure. That’s why they can’t help linking these two incidents together.”

Of course, this is just the official story from Yang Wang and Cen Hong.

The real reason, naturally, is that they also hold a treasure map.

However, their intelligence is clearly a step behind YangYe’s. Their focus is on Prefecture City, which is where Yang Ye once personally observed.

They’ve never understood why Ma Dongshu stayed at Anping Village for so long.

For what?

The secret tunnel has now provided them with the answers.

For the treasure, of course!

“Is it possible to make that connection?” Yang Ye seemed surprised.

“Yes.” Ma Dongshu said, giving Qiao Xiaomai a covert glance.

He tried to probe Qiao Xiaomai’s thoughts that day, but his girl was tight- lipped. He got nothing from their meal together.

Qiao Xiaomai didn’t reveal anything out of the ordinary back then. She was stunned now, “Mr. Ma, that mysterious story you told last time, is it true?!”

A twitch crossed Ma Dongshu’s mouth at her words, “So you think I was lying to you that day?”

Qiao Xiaomai hurriedly shook her head, “I’m just a country bumpkin with little experience. Your story was so amazing that I treated it as a myth.”

Ma Dongshu rolled his eyes, “It is no myth. This place probably contained that batch of treasure.”

“And that woman?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.

Ma Dongshu shrugged, “Only God knows.”

He had visited the graves in Anping Village many times in the past few days, but there was no trace of that woman.

Neither could he find a likely location for her grave after many rounds in the hills.

This woman is indeed incredibly mysterious.

There are no sightings of her alive, nor traces of her grave.

“What about the Prince and General Cen?” Yang Ye asked.

“They are inside the tunnel, carefully inspecting every corner.”

“Well, let’s go in and have a look too.” Saying that, Yang Ye walked towards the secret tunnel.

Only after entering the tunnel, did Qiao Xiaomai comprehend the term ‘the work of gods and ghosts’.

She had personally felt the hardness of these bricks, and now walking on top of it, she felt it more intensely.

The bricks were hard but grey in color. Their arrangement was neat and tidy, extending ten miles underground.

How did this secret tunnel and these bricks come to exist?

The woman was indeed magical.

By the time they walked the length of the tunnel and came out, it was already evening.

Yang Wang and Cen Hong were still reluctant to leave, intent on finding some clues, brick by brick inside the tunnel.

Qiao Xiaomai returned to the village to prepare dinner, and the day thus went by.

It began with excitement and ended with tranquility.

At night, Qiao Xiaomai tossed and turned in bed, finding it hard to sleep. Whether it was the treasure in the void, the mechanism that Tong Tiehu was hiding, or Yang Wang and Cen Hong’s relentlessness, all of it robbed her of her sleep.

After much tossing and turning, she finally had a light sleep. The following morning, just after washing up, one of YangYe’s guards came rushing, “Miss Qiao, His Highness has asked me to take you up the hill.”

“Huh? What happened?” Qiao Xiaomai glanced at the barely bright sky.

The sun hadn’t risen yet.

“Miss, don’t worry, nothing bad will happen with His Highness here. It’s just that General Cen found out that your house is located above the cellar, hence His Highness has some questions for you,” the guard said.

Qiao Xiaomai opened her eyes wide, startled, “Is that so?!”

“Yes, hence General Cen wants to ask you a few questions.”

“Let’s go then. I’ll inform my father.” Qiao Xiaomai turned and went into the house to knock on Qiao Changshun’s door.

Qiao Changshun was awake by then and was terrified when he heard about it, insisting on accompanying them.

What can Qiao Xiaomai, a young girl, possibly know? He was the head of the household, and these matters should be addressed to him.
