The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 231 Aunt 7's Discovery

"Thank you very much for not killing me." The guard looked at Lin Congyun's back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Congyun did not answer and walked straight out of the study.

She found an empty corner, slipped into the space, and the next second she appeared at the place where she had seen the second prince before.

At this time, there was no light in the tent. Lin Congyun approached the tent quietly. She thought to herself that since the second prince came to look for treasures from the previous dynasty, there must be some unspeakable secrets and plots behind this.

Just as she was about to draw aside the tent curtain, a faint sound of conversation came from the woods not far away.

Lin Congyun immediately became alert and tiptoed through the dense forest. The dead leaves under her feet made a slight rustling sound, but she cleverly used the shadows of the surrounding trees and bushes as cover, trying not to make any unnecessary noise.

The sound of the conversation became clearer and clearer, and seemed to be mixed with a bit of urgency and uneasiness.

She approached quietly, and through the gaps in the treetops, she vaguely saw several figures flashing in the moonlight, talking in low voices.

Lin Congyun's heart moved, and he realized that these people might be inextricably linked to the actions of the second prince.

She became more cautious and slowly moved closer until she could hear their conversation clearly.

"Are you sure that the information about the treasure is reliable? The Second Prince has issued a death order that it must be found." A deep male voice said, with an unquestionable majesty in his tone.

"Don't worry, sir. I got this news from an old man from the previous dynasty. It's definitely correct." Another voice was slightly flattering, but cautious. "It is said that the treasure contains not only gold and silver, but also treasures. If the second prince gets it, he will be even more powerful."

"treasure?"

The deep male voice seemed to be aroused, and there was a hint of imperceptible excitement in his tone, "What kind of treasure?"

“This, I am not too sure about. I only know that it is an extraordinary thing, and seems to be related to the secrets of the royal family of the previous dynasty.” The flattering voice was lowered even lower, as if afraid of being spied on by the surrounding night.

Lin Congyun was shocked. The secret of the royal family of the previous dynasty?

Could it be that there is a greater mystery hidden in this treasure?

Her mind was in turmoil, but she showed no sign of it. She just stared at the figures more intently, trying to catch more clues from their movements and expressions.

"Okay, this matter is of great importance, we must proceed with caution." The deep male voice sounded again, revealing a bit of determination in his tone, "Pass the order down, strengthen the vigilance around, and arrest any suspicious persons immediately if they are found."

"Yes, sir," the flattering voice responded respectfully.

Lin Congyun's heart sank, realizing that he could not stay any longer, otherwise his whereabouts would be exposed.

She made a prompt decision, turned around, quietly left the woods, and returned to the camp.

She did not leave immediately, but hid behind the tent, secretly observing the movements around her.

After a while, the two people who were talking in the woods just now were seen walking towards them from the direction of the woods. As they walked, they looked around, as if they were looking for something.

When the two men passed by the tent where Lin Congyun was hiding, Lin Congyun immediately held his breath, fearing that he would be discovered by them.

Fortunately, the two of them just took a casual glance and found nothing unusual, and then continued walking forward.

Looking at the two people's receding backs, Lin Congyun breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time became more alert.

It seems that the Second Prince takes the treasure matter very seriously, otherwise he would not have sent so many people to guard the surrounding area.

Lin Congyun stayed there for a long time and thought that he should go back first and ask Niu Qigu about the deep forest. After all, Niu Qigu had lived here for a long time and might know something.

After making up his mind, Lin Congyun used the space to leave the camp.

When I returned to the valley, I found Fang Xinfeng standing in the yard.

"Grandma, where are you going?" Fang Xinfeng saw Lin Congyun and immediately came up to her with a worried look on his face.

"I'm fine, I just went out for a walk." Lin Congyun patted Fang Xinfeng's shoulder gently, indicating that he didn't need to worry, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

"Yeah." Fang Xinfeng nodded obediently after hearing this, and then returned to his room.

Sometimes, before the full investigation is completed, we won’t let our family know to avoid worrying them.

On the second day, at dawn, Lin Congyun came to Niu Qigu's yard. Before entering the yard, he saw Niu Qigu preparing to go out.

"Seventh Aunt, where are you going so early in the morning?"

"Oh, I was just about to go to your house to look for you." When Niu Qigu saw that it was Lin Congyun, she immediately showed a worried expression on her face, "Madam, yesterday the villagers discovered a strange phenomenon on the other side of the stream."

"What strange phenomenon?" Lin Congyun was moved when he heard it and asked immediately.

"Yesterday, some villagers found that a lot of fog suddenly appeared in the stream. The fog was very strange and emitted a faint light. The villagers were so scared that they didn't dare to get close." Niu Qigu said solemnly, "I have lived for so long and have never seen such strange fog. When I found out about it last night, I wanted to come and tell you, but it was dark, so I thought of coming to tell you early this morning."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Lin Congyun raised his eyebrows and wondered in his heart whether the appearance of this fog was related to the treasure that the second prince was looking for?

"No, I have to go and see." Thinking of this, she immediately said to Niu Qigu, "Qigu, take me to see it."

"Madam, you can't do this." Niu Qigu's face changed when she heard this, and she quickly advised, "The fog is very strange, what if there is danger?"

"Don't worry, I know my limits." Lin Congyun waved his hand, signaling Niu Qigu not to worry, "You just need to take me there."

Seeing that Lin Congyun insisted on going, Niu Qigu had no choice but to agree.

The two soon arrived at the stream.

At this time, on the other side of the stream, just as Niu Qigu said, there was a faint mist. The mist emitted a faint light and looked very strange.

"This fog is really weird." Lin Congyun frowned and stared at the fog intently, trying to find out the clues.

Lin Congyun changed his observation positions beside the stream and found that the light in the mist seemed to be emitted from the stream.

"Is there something down here?"

Lin Congyun squatted down and carefully observed the surface of the stream. Apart from the fog, he could not see anything clearly.

"The water is a bit deep. I can't see clearly what's going on below." She muttered to herself.

"Can't you see clearly below?" Upon hearing this, Niu Qigu also came over and stared at the water for a long time, then shook her head, "The water looks clear, but I can't see clearly what's below."
