In the end, the question returned to the beginning.
The question that Xiaomai has been wondering about since crossing through time, emerged once again as she saw Tong Sanlang’s sincere expression.
It was related to her family, and so it had to be clarified.
Tong Sanlang clucked his tongue, well, no matter what, he couldn’t avoid this question.
He glanced at the foxtail grass beside him, casually plucked one and twirled it around his fingers, a wry smile on his face as he said, “This matter is akin to a child’s tale without a mother, it’s a long story.”
“No worries, we still have plenty of time.” Xiaomai appeared ready to listen. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel•fire.net
The place where she and Tong Sanlang were was quite distant from the foot of the mountain. In any case, there was no one in sight, so they could speak at leisure.
“Alright.” Tong Sanlang simply sat down.
To marry his wife, he needed to explain!
He lifted his gaze, looking into the distance.
The sky was a clear blue, as transparent as a mirror, the warm sunshine poured down, filtered through the leaves and landed on his body, feeling warm.
The sunlight was really a wonderful thing.
Sometimes he truly wished to live proudly under this sunlight…
The smile on his face grew more pronounced.
“To be precise, this matter happened 53 years ago.”
“Huh?” Xiaomai frowned in surprise.
This was somewhat unexpected for her. Fifty-three years ago?
“The last emperor of the previous dynasty was so incompetent and heartless that the people had a hard life. As a result, some strong landlords rose up and led troops to overthrow his rule. From then on, chaos broke out across the country.”
“This battle lasted for three years, and amongst them, one group of powerful forces broke into the imperial palace of the former dynasty and looted the national treasury.”
“But before he could declare himself emperor, he was driven out of the Capital City.”
“In the end, this man was defeated and killed, but the treasure mysteriously disappeared.”
“Later on, a treasure map surfaced, triggering various forces’ waves of greed. Of course, Tingfeng Pavilion had a copy of this treasure map. After years of verification and searching, at last, the location pointed out by the treasure map was discovered.”
Tong Sanlang stopped talking here. His eyes, which had been gazing at the sky, shifted toward Xiaomai, the smile on his handsome face disappearing.
A bad premonition crossed her mind. Her peach blossom eyes widened slightly, a look of disbelief appearing on her charming face.
Upon seeing her expression, Tong Sanlang’s handsome face showed a faint smile again, “That’s right, the location pointed out by the treasure map is your home.”
So, even if he didn’t drag Xiaomai into it, she would still be affected by it.
This treasure was buried in Xiaomai’s home.
Today’s Emperor, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, along with many factions were all seeking this treasure.
After being hidden for so many years, it somewhat begginning to reveal itself…
Tong Sanlang’s thoughts trailed off, while Xiaomai was stunned.
These seven words were like a bolt out of the blue for her.
They caused ripples in her mind.
She always thought her days would be spent farming. She just vaguely heard Tong Sanlang mention Tingfeng Pavilion, she felt her farming life was merging with the world of martial heroes. Now, however, the narrative was linking to some buried treasures of a former dynasty, was this turning into a power struggle in the palace?
If it were the national treasury of the previous dynasty, the wealth would be colossal!
It would definitely stir all kind of greedy villains. This was not about farming, martial arts or palace power struggles, it was painfully about doomsday!
If the treasure was to be discovered, she had a fair guess what fate awaited for her small family of three.
She took a deep breath, her lips tightly sealed as she glared at Tong Sanlang.
Propping his chin on one hand, and casually twirling the foxtail grass with the other, Tong Sanlang watched her with an amused look on his face..
