Ten days later.

After a long journey, Chu Yunge and Feng Yi finally entered the ancient and lush primordial forest.

This place did not belong to any of the three countries, because the mountains were connected, the mountains were continuous, it was not suitable for people to work here, and mosquitoes, bugs, and wild animals often came and went, so this was an uninhabited area.

This was the place where Feng Yi and Chu Yunge had found the Murong Dynasty back then.

After hundreds of years of change, the once nation had long since been destroyed. Countless types of trees and shrubs grew densely in this place, and the ruins of Murong Dynasty were perfectly hidden.

Because they had obtained the last piece of the map fragment from Baili Lan and the two pieces of Worryfree Hall, they were able to assemble the map fragment in their hands into a complete map, as well as the key to open the Treasure Palace. Right now, they only needed to follow the map and enter the forest, and they would be able to find the Hidden Treasure Palace and open the underground palace.

But...

The time had yet to come, because the other two groups had yet to arrive.

She wanted to use the treasure as bait, lure all of the people from Worryfree Hall and Baili Lan over, and then blast them to death with the dynamite barrels that she had prepared beforehand.

On the day they walked out of the small town at the edge of the Bright Moon Kingdom, Feng Yi personally wrote a letter and sent it to Baili Lan's Imperial Palace.

When Baili Lan saw Feng Yi's handwritten letter, he would know that he was the one who took the map fragment.

The letter was even accompanied by a piece of treasure map paper that was copied from Feng Yi's personal handwriting. The goal was to attract Baili Lan over.

Feng Yi was good at scheming, he knew very well, as long as Baili Lan personally sees these letters and diagrams, he would definitely come over!

Baili Lan was still hoping to obtain these treasures and use them to make weapons to pay the soldiers. The good thing was that they would have to start a war in the future and naturally, he would not miss out on these treasures.

Furthermore, Baili Lan and Worryfree Hall were cooperating together. Originally, they had the victory over the treasures in their hands, it was only because they used tricks that they managed to get the map fragments from Baili Lan and Worryfree Hall.

With the map in Baili Lan's hands stolen, he would definitely be enraged, he would not let Chu Yunge get away with this easily, and allow Chu Yunge to take away these peerless treasures.

So even if Baili Lan suspected that there was a trick to it, he would still take a risk to come here and investigate, and even more so, wasn't he going to join hands with Worryfree Hall?

Regarding the matters regarding the treasures, Baili Lan didn't want Chu Yunge to take it away, but he was worried that the letter Feng Yi sent was deceptive. In order to ensure his own safety, even if he was unwilling to part with the treasures, for safety's sake, he would definitely bring the hall masters of the Worryfree Hall along to watch and see what was going on.

As long as Baili Lan and the people from Worryfree Hall arrived, the plans for the future would naturally come to fruition!

No matter how many soldiers Baili Lan brought along, their Murong Dynasty were all in the deep mountains and forests. The mountain road was rugged and rough, and there was a lot of biogas, which was extremely hard to find.

If they walked on foot, the more people they brought along, the longer it would take.

If there were more people, they would have several times the amount of rations and water, and their rations would be even heavier than these people's. Even if they relied on the wild fruits and vegetables in the deep forest, how many wild fruits would the thousands of soldiers have to eat before they could eat their fill? Most likely, many people would starve to death before they could even reach the depths of the mountain forest.

It was impossible to walk in with an army.

Baili Lan was also not a fool, he would definitely understand this point.

Thus, when Baili Lan and the people from Worryfree Hall came over, in order to find the treasure, Baili Lan would have no choice but to leave the escorts that he had brought with him outside the forest. At most, he would have at most a hundred people accompanying him.

A mere hundred soldiers was much easier to deal with compared to the tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

After entering the ten thousand kilometers of primal forest, Chu Yunge and her group had already started walking forward. Following the guidance of the map, they entered the ruins of the Old Murong Dynasty.

Originally, when all of the map fragments were pieced together, the map that was displayed was the location of the old Murong Dynasty.

In other words, the last time Chu Yunge and Feng Yi came here in search of a map, they had walked out of the Plum Blossom Pile's giant labyrinth of boulders and passed through the crocodile's cave to enter Murong Dynasty's rear garden.

As for all the treasures, they were either hidden somewhere else, or they were all hidden in the underground maze in the Murong Dynasty's rear garden!

Last time, she and Feng Yi had already seen the majesty and grandeur of the Murong Dynasty, and it was even an elder who had lived in seclusion for many years.

At that time, they were only interested in finding map fragments, they never thought that the treasures were actually hidden under the Murong Dynasty.

The Murong Family had been waiting for treasures for so many years, so they definitely wouldn't stay far away from them. In order to better guard the treasures, they naturally would stay close to them.

And within these mountain ranges, other than the underground palace in the Murong Dynasty, was there any better place to go than to hide those mountain like treasures?

They were really careless last time and didn't think about it at all.

Now that they had pieced together the map, they finally understood where the treasures were hidden.

However, it was not too late to come to terms with it now, since the Murong Dynasty was already right in front of them. He had already been here with Feng Yi the last time, so he was familiar with the road after thinking about it this time.

As for Baili Lan, she was not worried that he would not be able to find his way in.

Baili Lan followed behind the people from Worryfree Hall. Amongst the people from Worryfree Hall, Hei Yan and Ling Yuan also came in. With someone from the Worryfree Hall leading them, Baili Lan would come in.

However, Ling Yuan and Hei Yan would only be able to enter the Murong Dynasty through the Giant Stone Woods and the crocodile cave using the stupid method they had done last time.

As for how to go through the main entrance of Murong Dynasty, they did not know.

Following the path on which Murong Qing sent Chu Yunge out of the Murong Dynasty, Chu Yunge quickly found the main entrance.

There was an ivy that was as thick as an adult's thigh that had been growing at the foot of the mountain for a hundred years. If one climbed up the ivy, they would arrive at a hidden cave entrance. There was a mechanism at the entrance of the cave, and opening the mechanism would lead to the main entrance of Murong Dynasty.

The design of the Murong Dynasty's main gate was extremely well hidden. If there was no one to guide them, even if one spent a year or so in this primeval forest, they might not be able to discover it.

Chu Yunge walked to the mountain peak that was as tall as the clouds, and grabbed onto a vine that was thicker than her own wrist, and indicated for the people beside him to climb the mountain with him.

Guan Shan was tall and sturdy, and his weight was heavier than others. Therefore, he chose the thickest vine and climbed up the cliff without any fear.

Ever since he had followed Chu Yunge, Guan Shan clearly knew that Chu Yunge was a woman who had courage and schemes.

At that time, Chu Yunge was in Dazhou City, lobbying those wealthy young elites to leave the city, bringing along her family and attendants. After arriving at the imperial capital of Great Chu Kingdom, under Gong Shaoyang's arrangements, those merchants had already begun to operate normally.

Because of Chu Yunge's personal decree, the imperial city exempted those merchants who had come from the Great Liang City from paying taxes for ten years. Even the shops and mansions were given to them for free.

With such generous treatment, those merchants were even more carefree in doing their business. They were able to handle it with ease, and their prices were also much cheaper than those in Dalian City.

With these new shops in the imperial city, things were even more prosperous and bustling. It had only been ten days, yet the purchasing power of the imperial city was already reached within a month.

From this, it could be seen that Chu Yunge's decision was correct. She was a very intelligent woman.

If Guan Shan followed such a master, even if it was a woman, he would still be willing.

Under Guan Shan's lead, the soldiers under him also climbed up.

Chu Yunge followed closely behind as sshe climbed up the cliff. Normally, he wouldn't forget to tell Feng Yi what her plan was, "Feng Yi, after we reach Murong Dynasty, I plan to borrow nine hundred barrels of vegetable oil from Murong Qing."

"Are you really planning to use these treasures to lure Baili Lan in front of the entrance of the underground palace and then blast them to death?" Feng Yi was worried that Chu Yunge was just joking, so he accepted it with a serious expression.

"Do you think I'm joking? With these priceless treasures here, Baili Lan would definitely come! He will come himself! With so many treasures here, would he be at ease to let his ministers take his place? Those officials were selfish as well. They might even try to steal some of the treasures. More importantly, Baili Lan was afraid that after he sends out his normal subjects, the people of Worryfree Hall would kill him for the sake of keeping the treasure for themselves. Baili Lan also knew that people in the Worryfree Hall were not good people, he did not dare take the risk, he would personally come here. As long as he and the people from Worryfree Hall are here, we'll attack! "

Chu Yunge's elegant, petite face was surprisingly solemn, without a hint of a smile on it.

However, Feng Yi frowned and asked worriedly, "It's indeed good that Baili Lan is able to come out of the impenetrable Forbidden City. But, if we blow them to death in front of the entrance of the underground palace, then the inside of the underground palace will be those treasures, aren't you afraid that if we put too much gunpowder in it, it will explode along with those treasures? "

"I have taken that into account. However, the catacombs of the underground palace are usually from the third floor. At most, we can blow up these three floors, but it will only harm some of the treasures near the door. The treasures placed in the deepest part of the underground palace should be fine. " Chu Yunge analyzed.

"How about we enter the underground palace and take a look?"

"This won't do. If I see those treasures, I definitely won't be willing to use this move. So she had to be ruthless! As long as we can get rid of Baili Lan, it would be worth it to sacrifice some treasures. " Chu Yunge clenched her teeth, and said with all her heart.

"Alright then. Once we enter the Murong Dynasty, we will begin our preparations. We walked and stopped here and there, purposely dawdling on the road for a long time. Presumably, Baili Lan and the Worryfree Hall people are about to catch up as well. By the time we've prepared the vegetable oil, Baili Lan's people would probably already be here. " Feng Yi did not reject Chu Yunge's suggestion, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Feng Yi did not have any intentions of refuting, Chu Yunge relaxed and continued to climb along the vine.

Very quickly, the group climbed into the cave entrance. After entering the cave entrance, following Murong Qing's instructions, Chu Yunge opened the mechanism of Shandong City, and the stone door of the cave immediately opened. A granite stone road appeared in front of everyone …

After walking along the mountain path for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the Murong Dynasty. Under the guidance of the palace maids, they re-entered the palace and saw Murong Qing.

Murong Qing was the current princess of Murong Dynasty, and could be considered to be related to Chu Yunge. It was because of this, that Chu Yunge told Murong Qing her plan and also mentioned to him the matter of borrowing nine hundred barrel of vegetable oil.

Murong Qing saw that in her hands, she had pieced together the complete map and the key to the underground palace. With her understanding of Feng Yi, she knew that he was an enlightened king who governed over kingdoms, and knew that they were the owners of the treasures. The owners of the treasures had the authority to handle the treasures, so he agreed to Chu Yunge's suggestion.

Fortunately, the underground palace was located in a large canyon at the end of the imperial back garden. It was quite a distance away from the imperial palace. Otherwise, Murong Qing wouldn't easily agree.
