Chapter 749: The Saint is Cruel and Merciless (Part 4)
"General! You're awake!"
As soon as Duan Jingwu opened his eyes, the servant serving him rushed out to call for help.
His deputy came running in soon.
"General, you are finally awake."
Duan Jingwu clutched his chest, slowly sat up, and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"General, you've been in a coma for two days. The doctor said if you don't wake up, your life may be in danger."
"It's been two days? Where are the people chasing us?"
The deputy general replied: "They haven't appeared since we entered Wencheng. Wencheng is Shen's territory, so they probably retreated."
Duan Jingwu coughed several times and felt like his shoulders on both sides were about to break.
Among those who later chased him, the leader stabbed him whenever he got the chance, and he almost lost his family line!
If he hadn't been lucky, he would have died at the hands of these people.
Duan Jingwu now wishes he could gather his men and crush the Wansheng tribe.
but……
He touched the inside of his clothes, where the treasure map was hidden.
"Quickly gather our men and head southeast. We must seize the treasure before the Wansheng Clan moves it!"
The deputy general hesitated: "But General, your health..."
"I know my own health well, so it's fine. Go get ready quickly, and find someone reliable."
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
Duan Jingwu drank the bitter medicine in one gulp, feeling a little anxious, afraid that he was too late.
So after having a meal, he immediately set off on his journey.
The deputy general had prepared a carriage, but Duan Jingwu felt it was embarrassing to sit in the carriage, so he bravely jumped on the horse and rushed out first.
The deputy general sighed and quickly chased after him.
After a long journey, Duan Jingwu finally led his men to the treasure place. He did not alarm the local authorities and took his men up the mountain.
Although he expected that there would be traps in the treasure trove, he did not expect it to be so dangerous. Of the two hundred confidants he brought with him, only more than twenty were left.
Finally, he opened the last stone door, and inside were boxes half a person's height!
He ran in excitedly! He used his sword to pick open the treasure chests one by one, and took a closer look with a torch. There were jewels, gold, silver, as well as some calligraphy and paintings and ancient books.
His confidants were also very excited! After the excitement subsided, he calmed down and thought, why are there only more than 20 boxes? This is too few!
He saw the words on the stone wall again, which mainly explained that this was something that Emperor Tianming had sent people to hide with great difficulty, and hoped that future generations would make good use of it and restore the old dynasty.
"General, perhaps the treasure has been used up by the Wansheng Clan over and over again. Look, this place is so big, it might have been filled with boxes."
"Damn you Wansheng Clan! These treasures are a waste in your hands!"
"General, what should we do next?"
"Of course we have to take these treasures away! Otherwise, what if the Wansheng Clan comes after us?"
Duan Jingwu ordered his confidants to move these treasure chests away.
Because most of the people were killed or injured, it was difficult to move the boxes. It took two days from entering the underground to coming out.
When Duan Jingwu led his men down the mountain, they encountered an accident and were surrounded by nearly a thousand soldiers.
In order to keep a low profile, Duan Jingwu and his men were dressed in disguise and did not dress in military attire.
The deputy general asked in a low voice: "General, what should we do?"
Duan Jingwu said nothing.
The officials didn't recognize Duan Jingwu, and the leading official shouted, "Remnants of the previous dynasty, I wonder where you can escape! Surrender now! I'll leave your bodies intact! What's in that box on your horse? Hurry and bring it to me!"
Duan Jingwu looked at the officials who were showing off in front of him and thought they were really nosy!
"You big black guy, I'm talking to you! How dare you stare at me! Do you know who I am? I'm Huang Shengrong, the prefect here! My cousin is the concubine of the Crown Prince!"
The prince’s men?
Duan Jingwu had a conspiracy theory. Could it be that the prince had someone follow him, hoping to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits?
