The guards drew their weapons one by one and waited for the servants to open the door before rushing out together …

What Leng Qiyue did not expect was that those strange people seemed to know that her face was a weakness and actually knew how to protect. For a time, the two sides were entangled in a stalemate.

At this moment, the sound of chaotic horse hooves slowly approached. Those people had already rushed over, so Dongfang Haotian had no choice but to announce the withdrawal: "Retreat to the manor and wait to see what happens."

When they returned to the manor and the gate was closed again, a group of people dressed in black came running in front of the gate. They did not enter the manor, but took out their weapons and started fighting with the strange person. These people were all extremely skilled. They were all two-handed weapons, with one hand holding the air while the other hand wielding a killing move. As expected, the weirdos did not have a high IQ, and soon they were in a mess with many dead and injured.

When Leng Qiyue arrived at the watchtower and saw all of this, she felt very puzzled. All of these people were dressed in black and had their faces covered. Just who was it?

These people came quickly and killed quickly as well. It didn't take long to finish off those strange people. The person in the lead lifted his head to look at Leng Qiyue, he reached out his hand to pull down the towel. It was actually Bai Lan!

The people around Bai Lan also pulled down their scarves and revealed their true appearances. They were Mu Zixin, but not a single one of them was recognizable.

Bai Lan shouted, "Quickly open the door!"

Only then did Leng Qiyue come to her senses. She shouted to Dongfang Haotian below her: "Haotian, it's Bai Lan who's coming. Hurry and open the door."

Dongfang Haotian's face lit up when he heard this. He quickly ordered some people to open the door.

Bai Lan and the others urged their horses in. He dismounted from his horse and cupped his fist towards Dongfang Haotian, "Big Brother, little brother is late."

Dongfang Haotian strongly patted Bai Lan's shoulder, and laughed: "No, no, it's just a timely rain! "Haha …"

Leng Qiyue went down the watchtower and asked happily, "Bai Lan, why have you come?"

Bai Lan smiled, "You guys still haven't arrived at the appointed time. I knew something went wrong, so I brought some people over. Fortunately, we made it in time."

You Yu lay on the ground and said, "Hey, don't worry about reminiscing about the past. Bring me into the house. I'm injured."

Dongfang Haotian smiled and said: "Seeing that you saved my life, I'll personally carry you in." With that, he carried You Yu on his back.

You Yu whispered into Dongfang Haotian's ear: "I'm not saving you, I just don't want to see big sister upset."

Hearing this, Dongfang Haotian's body stiffened. He didn't feel good, but it wasn't because he was jealous, but because he hated the fact that he wasn't strong enough.

Seeing that the fire in the storeroom and kitchen had weakened, Leng Qiyue ordered the guards to help extinguish the fire. The situation was urgent, and no one had time to worry about that. Fortunately, the houses here were built separately, otherwise, the campsite would have been set ablaze long ago.

Mu Zixin pulled on Leng Qiyue's hand and asked, "Why did you come out as well? Look at you, your stomach is already so big, yet you still dare to run around, how dangerous is it this time?! "

Leng Qiyue knew that Mu Zixin truly cared about her and was not angry at her accusations. She smiled and said, "Aren't I fine? Aren't you going to see Her Majesty? What's the situation over there? "

Mu Zixin helped Leng Qiyue to sit down and said, "Ah, there's no need to mention it. You won't even believe what happened over there."

As soon as Leng Qiyue relaxed, she started to feel sleepy. However, when she heard Mu Zixin's words, she immediately became spirited and asked, "What's going on?"

Mu Zixin said, "Liars. Those are all lies."

Leng Qiyue was completely confused. What kind of lie was this?

Bai Lan laughed, "Let me say, actually, the treasure is lying. There are no treasures there, but let us find an ancient tomb. There are many traps in the ancient tomb. Most of the people the empress dowager brought in died or were injured, so she couldn't get inside. In the end, all she could do was carelessly bury them. "

Dongfang Haotian asked in surprise: "There is no money there?"

Bai Lan nodded, "Perhaps we misunderstood. The late emperor did not hide the silver outside the palace."

Leng Qiyue thought for a moment and then said, "In the letter the late emperor wrote to the former empress, he once said something about the place where they first met. Do you know where that was? Maybe the silver is hidden there! "

Dongfang Haotian thought for a moment and said: "The former Queen entered the palace as a pretty girl and stayed in the Sunset Pavilion. Don't tell me that she hid the money in the Sunlight Pavilion?"

Bai Lan frowned and said, "Regardless of where the money is hidden, we should return to the palace as soon as possible. The empress dowager couldn't get the silver, so she gave Eastworks an order to stop all of you from returning to the palace."

Dong Fang Haotian and Leng Qiyue asked in unison, "Is the empress dowager the owner of the east factory?"

Bai Lan nodded and said, "I only learned about it after intercepting the carrier pigeon. I don't know about the details either."

Leng Qiyue replied, "But the Empress Dowager doesn't know martial arts, so how can she enter the east yard?"

Bai Lan replied, "She knows martial arts, but she usually takes a type of medicine to control her pulse."

Dongfang Haotian sighed: "I didn't expect this woman to be so scary, but I've never heard of her practicing martial arts before!"

Bai Lan replied, "Her martial arts aren't high, but her qinggong is outstanding. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to escape the ancient tomb safely. There is nothing unusual about the mechanisms of Dongchang, so she can go in and out as she pleases. "

Leng Qiyue still had some doubts. "Then, when did she take over from Dongchang?"

Bai Lan shook her head. "I don't know about that. Everyone, please take a break for a while. Tomorrow morning, we will rush back as soon as possible, so as to avoid any unexpected incidents."

Dongfang Haotian nodded and looked at Youyu, who said, "Don't look at me, those houses are just there anyways. You can live wherever you want. The only building you can't enter is my private room."

Leng Qiyue cast a sidelong glance at You Yu. This fellow already had a bad habit at such a young age. It seemed that he needed to be taught a good lesson.

Everyone tossed and turned for the most part of the night. They were all tired, so they left some guards to find a place to rest.

Leng Qiyue was extremely tired, so she fell asleep on the bed. Dongfang Haotian had something on and he couldn't fall asleep, so he went to find Bai Lan and ask her about it.

Bai Lan didn't rest either. When she saw Dongfang Haotian, she asked: "Big Brother, are you looking for me for something?"

Dongfang Haotian went straight to the point: "I feel that all of this did not happen by accident. The Empress Dowager might have expected me to leave the palace and even expected me to walk this path. Otherwise, why would the head steward of this villa destroy his bow and arrow and set fire to the warehouses and kitchens? "

Bai Lan asked, "You're saying that the head steward has already been bribed by others?"

Dongfang Haotian nodded and said, "That's right. Since the empress dowager is the mastermind behind East Workshop, then the steward here must have been bribed by her men. And she also knows that we will definitely return here if we encounter any strange people. We have fallen into Her Majesty's meticulously arranged scheme! "

Bai Lan thought for a moment and said, "Then the empress dowager going to find the treasure is only a pretense? The goal is to lure you out of the palace and then kill you halfway? "

Dongfang Haotian sighed and said: "I was careless this time. I almost dragged Yue Er down."
