There were gaps filled with mud between every brick, but not this one. This brick was directly connected to the one next to it without any barrier.

Consequently, there were gaps on its other three sides with the bricks around it.

This wasn’t normal, absolutely not normal.

After staring at the brick for a moment, Yang Wang took out his pocket knife, exerted his inner strength and pried it forcefully. The brick fell off.

After weighing the brick in his hand, he used his lightness skill to leap down from the ladder and then asked Hu Tian, “Has General Cen arrived?”.

“Judging by the time, he should have,” replied Hu Tian.

“Stay here,” Yang Wang ordered before hastily exiting the secret tunnel and heading towards the mountain base.

Indeed, Cen Hong was there.

Relocating ten thousand stationed soldiers was a major event.

The township official was alarmed.

However, as a minor county official, he was no match when dealing with Cen Hong.

Moreover, military affairs were not something he, as a civil servant, could interfere in.

All he could do was accompany Cen Hong with a smile, asking what on earth he was up to.

Once he learned the answer, he was stunned.

Dig up Anping Village?

What does this have to do with the Tong Family?

The treasure matter was of great importance, even he, the confidant of the left Prime Minister, was unaware of it. Cen Hong’s actions lead to his only concern, the Tong Family.

But he couldn’t ask too blatantly. Officially, he had no connection to the Tong Family.

Panic in his heart, the only thing he could do was to follow Cen Hong to Anping Village and see what he was planning.

Ten thousand soldiers acting like a force of nature, carrying shovels and heading straight to Anping Village. As they passed Bailu Town, they naturally caused a great commotion.

What happened that required such a massive mobilization of men?

Was a war about to happen?

The Chancellor Gu quickly learned of the news and immediately sent people on horseback to catch up with Cen Hong.

Facing Chancellor Gu, Cen Hong dared not behave rashly and truthfully explained the situation: Ancient treasures had suddenly been found in Anping Village. He wanted to follow in Fu Xuan’s footsteps, to dig three feet into the ground and find this batch of treasures.

Hearing this, Chancellor Gu frowned but didn’t say much. He just sat in his carriage and followed Cen Hong to Anping Village.

Digging up a village, naturally, had to be discussed with the village chief.

So, Cen Hong sent someone to call for Tong Tiehu.

Dig up the village?

This had Tong Tiehu somewhat panicked.

The mechanism the woman left could only be activated once, blocking the branch leading to his home, but that just barred the entrance to the passageway, the secret tunnel was still there.

If the village was really to be dug up, his family’s secret tunnel would undoubtedly be discovered.

Qiao Xiaomai could still deny any knowledge since the cellar was just built under her house.

But his house had an entrance to the tunnel. As soon as that tunnel was discovered, his family’s secrets would surely be exposed.

Thinking this, Tong Tiehu couldn’t help but turn and look at his family members.

It was noon. They were sitting in the courtyard having lunch.

The faces of Qian Family, Tong Er’lang, Zhu Hongyun showed pure shock. They were surprised by Cen Hong’s orders; they knew nothing about the family secret in the tunnel.

They did not know what awaited them next.

Tong Xingda, Zhang Family and Tong Dalang and his family, who all lived in the town, didn’t know that the Tong Family had reached a point of life and death.

No, No, Tong Xingda was also in town; he probably could guess what had happened after seeing Cen Hong’s actions.

Tong Tiehu inhaled deeply, had this day finally come?

“Grandfather, let’s go, I will go with you to meet General Cen,” Tong San Tang came up to him, supporting his arm.

Tong Tiehu calmed down, he patted Tong San’lang’s hand with his other hand and said, “Let’s go.”

After so many years of anxiety, now it was finally time to confront it.
