At sunrise, the masked man stood on the hillside with his hands crossed, looking at the sea of clouds on the horizon.

"Did Tu Muxue send any messages?"

He raised his face and said slowly. The gloomy mysterious iron mask on his face was still shining with a cold light in the faint sunlight.

A person behind him held fists on hips,

"Your Highness, four hours have passed. How about letting me go to the Palace. Perhaps I'll bring back some reliable news. "

The masked man sneered and shook his head,

"We don't need to wait any longer. The plan remains the same. Order our people to gather in Guiping in groups."

...

In a grove of the northern suburb of the capital.

After getting out of the Palace successfully last night, Lu Qiange and his two subordinates took Gu Yunxi all the way here.

At the beginning of April, the forests were dense. The grass and trees were green. The sun shined through the clouds and fell from the crisscross gaps of the branches.

Gu Yunxi regained her strength and walked up to Lu Qiange. She stretched out her hand calmly,

"You are already safe. I should go back... Give it to me."

Lu Qiange sat cross-legged on the ground, frowning and staring at her. Then he stood up, and his eyes were dazzling with brilliance with a hint of aggression,

"I can leave the other the Kunhuang Island map, but what will you give me for it?"

Gu Yunxi was a little stunned,

"The Brother Lu I know never threatens anyone."

Lu Qiange smiled. His voice was slightly muffled and sad,

"You don't have to coax me. I know who I am. You want to take the second map back for the Eastern Depot and Leng Qingtang. I agree with you. However, you must go with me! "

Gu Yunxi raised her eyes and met his clear purple eyes. She smiled,

"I will not go with you, and I will also get the second map back."

Seeing the deep redness in his eyes, she took a deep breath and explained everything clearly,

"Brother Lu, if you think that the map given to the first captain last night is true, you are very wrong. In order to protect the true Kunhuang Island map, the Eastern Depot has already made some tricks, which made everyone at Spring Banquet last night believe that the Wans offered the Yin map. Therefore, the Yin map that you presented last night is actually the Yang map that indicates the true location of Kunhuang Tomb!"

"What?"

As if ice water suddenly splashed over his body, Lu Qiange was so shocked that he couldn't help himself, shaking his hands and taking out the map. His complexion turned pale.

He was not an expert in metaphysics, so he couldn't understand the map.

Gu Yunxi lowered her eyes and sighed,

"You don’t have to believe me, or you can take this map with you. But I didn't lie to you, and I’ll never lie to you."

After a moment of silence, Lu Qiange fiercely clenched his fingers and wrinkled the sheepskin.

Gu Yunxi suddenly felt a tight waist. The next moment the man's handsome face with the fiercest of indignation was magnified in front of her eyes.

"Come with me!" he roared with a stern voice.

This was his final bottom line. If he lost his treasure map and his beloved girl, he would be a complete loser.

He couldn't wait anymore, couldn't wait anymore—

Feeling a sudden heat on her lips, Gu Yunxi was shocked by the pain of repeated crushing. She widened her eyes.

The girl pushed hard away from the man, and then slapped his face hard. Her eyes were gleaming with deep anger.

A few meters away, Lu Qiange's two subordinates suddenly turned their heads when they heard the crisp sound. After seeing the situation, they turned their heads back, and pretended that they didn't see anything.

Lu Qiange covered half of his cheek and frowned with pain, and his long eyelashes gently flapped.

Staring at her red and swollen lips, he smiled bitterly,

"You slapped me again? Yunxi, I have waited for you for two years. I gave up the National League and the Clan of Swords for you, saved Qinger and the Captain for you, and committed crimes in the Western Depot for you. Now I put my tasks aside to catch Tu Muxue for you. Why are you never tempted by me? Yunxi, touch your chest to see if you have heart!"

Gu Yunxi lowered her head, not wanting to look at his extremely angry eyes. She said indifferently,

"I'm sorry, Brother Lu. I have a heart, but my heart is too small to make room for someone else."

"A eunuch... Hehe. Even though I have done so many things for you, I am no better than a eunuch in the end!"

He yelled and threw the map at Gu Yunxi angrily. Clenching his fingers slowly, Lu Qiange stared at the girl's expressionless face. Eyes about to be flaming, he even wanted to tear the world apart with his hands.

The girl raised her eyes coldly and stared at him. Then she suddenly asked,

"What about the Fourth Princess? Have you ever noticed what she has done for you?"

The man was stunned suddenly and controlled his anger.

The horses' hooves came, and the four people were immediately surrounded.

Leng Qingtang wore a clear green python robe, woven with layers of golden silk. It reflected the dazzling brilliance in the sun.

On the tall horse, he saw the sheepskin that Gu Yunxi was holding tightly in her hands. He smiled leisurely, and turned his head slightly to stare at the mad man,

"Your Highness Suoluo, you have failed. I advise you to put down your obsessions and go back to Udan soon. My letter has been sent to Xi Yi by messenger and will be delivered to your Mother, An He soon."

Once they heard that, both Gu Yunxi and Lu Qiange were stunned on the spot.

Lu Qiange slightly raised his chin and looked at the beautiful man on horseback. He was startled,

"You wrote to my Mother? How can you do that? ... Leng Qingtang, who are you?"

Leng Qingtang smiled faintly,

"As soon as you go back, your mother will tell you everything by herself."

Lu Qiange pressed his lips tightly and snorted coldly. He raised his finger to point at Leng Qingtang,

"Well, wait for me, I will return to Da Yi again!"

Angrily turning around, he led his two subordinates away.

Gu Yunxi leaned in front of the horse, and offered the treasure map with both hands. She smiled,

"Hey, Master, you come here in time. Here is the fake map."

Leng Qingtang refused to take the map. He stared at Gu Yunxi sternly and said angrily,

"Humph, if I don't come, I'm afraid that you and the map will be taken away by him!"

Bending over and holding the girl to the horseback with his big arms, Leng Qingtang saw the salient bright red on her snow-white neck. His eyes went cold and he said sternly,

"You kindly helped him get away, but he was so cruel and hurt you?"

The Master was clever. How could he not know her thoughts and tricks?

Gu Yunxi blushed immediately and grinned,

"It wasn’t his fault. It was mine. I was not careful..."

Leng Qingtang glared at her severely and cursed,

"You are such a fool."

Gu Yunxi stuffed the map into his shirt, frowning slightly,

"By the way, Master, who exactly is Brother Lu? What does Mother mean? What is His Highness Suoluo? I'm so confused."

Leng Qingtang sighed, distressed but helpless,

"I should be blamed for this as I didn’t tell you Lu Qiange's identity. Let’s go back to the Eastern Depot and I will tell you."

The two rode one horseback to the Eastern Depot with more than a dozen guards.

In the room, Leng Qingtang checked her wound carefully and applied medicine for Gu Yunxi. While sorting out the medicine box, he said,

"Lu Qiange's true identity is the third prince of Suoluo Family in Udan of the western tribes. His Mother is the elder sister of the emperor of Da Yi, Princess An He."

Gu Yunxi was shocked. But after careful thinking, she was immediately enlightened,

"In that case, Princess An He is also your Eldest Sister. Brother Lu, Brother Lu and you..."

Leng Qingtang smiled and nodded silently.

Gu Yunxi became more embarrassed, and her silly smile was uglier than crying.

Goodness, what was the situation?

As the nephew, did he want to scramble for a woman with his uncle?

Having put the medicine box back in the locker, Leng Qingtang returned to the table, sat down and continued to explain,

"His Highness Suoluo has a blood relationship with me. Therefore, even if he's captured by the Eastern Depot, I will not kill him. I just want to use the Kunhuang Island map to teach him a lesson and tell him to completely give up on you."

Gu Yunxi flushed and lowered her head. Suddenly she thought of something and hurriedly asked,

"Does Princess An He know your imperial identity?"

Leng Qingtang smiled lightly with a trace of loneliness,

"Back then, she married Udan, and exchanged Father, Mother and me with her lifelong happiness and thirty-six cars of gold and silver gifts. Of course, she is aware of the existence of her ninth brother in the world.

Only later, in order to save my life, the old Master changed my name and also lost contact with her. So she didn't know that the current Master of the Eastern Depot was the ninth prince.

This time she secretly sent her son to sneak into Da Yi to capture the map as she knew that Hong Zun died, and she didn't want Huanan Ze to easily get the things in the underground palace.

I sent the letter, secretly showing my identity, and I believe she will not intervene in this matter as long as she knows it. "

Gu Yunxi could roughly understand. With a hint of doubt, she raised her eyes and looked at the Master,

"Has the intelligence agency of the Eastern Depot discovered what's in the underground palace?"

Suddenly, the darkness in Leng Qingtang’s eyes became deep and heavy. He replied calmly,

"Half of the jade seal."
