Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 344
Chapter 344 Immortal Grass Discovery
Yun Xiao was secretly anxious, but there was nothing she could do now. She rolled her eyes a few times and couldn’t think of any good way.
However, when Yun Xiao turned around and saw that Rong Jin’s expression was calm and there was not the slightest change, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
Rong Jin’s behavior meant that he had a way.
Seeing General Liu walk forward, Eunuch Mao smiled apologetically and said, “Yes, yes. According to the rules, you naturally have to search your body. The rules can’t be broken. Why don’t you let this servant search your body?”
General Liu did not look at Eunuch Mao. He looked at Rong Jin and Yun Xiao again. Seeing their calm expressions, he looked at Rong Jin. He then looked at the water in the wooden bucket and said loudly, “Let me search them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Jin placed the shoulder pole on the ground and stood in front of General Liu. As soon as he said that, the warmth of the peaceful days was somewhat different. Instead, it became a bit more hoarse. “Greetings, General, search my body first.”
General Liu glanced at Rong Jin, and a trace of appreciation appeared in his eyes. It was not common for someone to be so courageous, “Alright.”
After he finished speaking, he searched Rong Jin’s body, but apart from finding five taels of silver, he didn’t find anything else.
General Liu placed the silver taels in his arms and looked at Rong Jin’s hand. He frowned and said, “What happened to your hand?”
Rong Jin’s face was filled with anger. “I was originally a scholar. I was bullied by a bully because my family was poor. My left hand was crippled. My sister tried to persuade me. Who knew that those bullies had even cut my sister’s hand? That bully even threatened not to let us go. With no other choice, my sister and I entered the palace.”
The elegance and scholarly aura on Rong Jin’s body was difficult to remove. It was better to directly fabricate the identity of a scholar than to fabricate other identities. On the contrary, it was even more suspicious.
General Liu first looked at Rong Jin’s hand, and then at Yun Xiao’s hand, there was indeed more gauze.
He walked towards Yun Xiao’s direction without saying whether he believed Rong Jin’s words or not. This time, it was obvious that he wanted to personally search Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that General Liu had not found the medicine from Rong Jin’s body.
Hearing Rong Jin’s words, the corner of her mouth twitched unconsciously. This time, she and Rong Jin became siblings.
Yun Xiao’s expression became even more embarrassed for a moment, but it was still much better than fabricating the identity of a husband and wife.
However, when she saw General Liu walking over, Yun Xiao frowned invisibly. Could it be that she really wanted a man to search her?
General Liu walked in front of Yun Xiao and reached out to lift her chin. However, Yun Xiao’s reaction was a step faster and she took a step back. She was afraid that her actions would cause the man to get angry, so she acted as if she was greeting him. She said loudly, “This servant greets the general.”
“Oh? What’s your name?” Seeing that his hand had missed, General Liu’s sinister eyebrows landed on Yun Xiao, and he snorted coldly, showing a trace of interest.
Yun Xiao said calmly and respectfully, “This servant is called Xiao Zhu.” The bamboo was taken from the bamboo character on Xiao of her name.
“So it’s Miss Xiao Zhu. Since she’s here, search her body.” General Liu stepped forward and wanted to personally search Yun Xiao. However, just as he walked to Yun Xiao’s side, Rong Jin walked over and pulled Yun Xiao away. “General, my sister only has a hundred taels of silver on her. There’s nothing else.”
As he spoke, he reached into Yun Xiao’s arms and took out a hundred taels of silver. He respectfully presented it to General Liu, “This is all my little sister and I have. Please don’t search me. Although my little sister is a palace maid, she is also my daughter’s family.”
This man was honest! General Liu took the hundred taels of silver in his hand and flipped through it for a few times before placing it in his embrace. “Even so, the rules cannot be broken. Then come and search your sister.” Since he had accepted the banknotes, he had to give some face.
These words were just like Rong Jin’s intentions. In a corner that no one saw, he winked at Yun Xiao for a while and said loudly, “Little sister, are you ready?”
Yun Xiao raised her eyes and saw that Rong Jin’s eyes already had a strange look on them. She resisted in her heart, but she could only grind her teeth and nod her head. “Alright.”
Rong Jin stretched out his hand to feel Yun Xiao’s body. His gentle and refined face made people feel very sacred, and they did not have any thoughts. However, Yun Xiao felt that those big hands were constantly swimming around her body, and there was a flame everywhere. She wished to open Rong Jin’s hand.
At a time when Yun Xiao’s expression was getting uglier and uglier, Rong Jin finally withdrew his hand from Yun Xiao’s body and said, “Reporting to General Liu, nothing has been found.”
General Liu had originally watched Rong Jin’s big hand constantly move on Yun Xiao’s body, and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He did not expect that this new maid of the palace’s figure was pretty good. Hearing Rong Jin’s words, he immediately said, “Alright, alright, you guys go in.”
When Eunuch Mao saw this, he smiled apologetically and said a few nice words before leaving with Yunxiao and Rong Jin. After walking far away, he snorted coldly, “I didn’t expect that the two of you actually have so much silver on you.” So much silver was filial to General Liu, making him feel very uncomfortable.
When Yun Xiao saw this, she laughed and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she suddenly squatted down and took out a silver note from her ankle. She handed it to Eunuch Mao and respectfully said, “Eunuch, this is filial to you. Big brother and I have just arrived, and we are not familiar with this place. In addition, our hands are still injured. Please take care of us!”
Eunuch Mao took the silver and looked at the large one hundred taels written on it. Even though his eyes were wide open, he immediately reached out to take it and hid it in his arms. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Eunuch, I will definitely take good care of you two in the future. However, why do you have so much silver?”
Yun Xiao lowered her eyebrows and pinched herself. She forced out two tears and whispered, “Although my family is not rich, it is also in business. Father and mother were afraid that we would be bullied, so they gave us all their belongings.”
Eunuch Mao heard that they were doing business, so it wasn’t surprising that they had this amount of silver. Looking at the hands of the two of them, a smile appeared in his heart. With their current appearances, the two of them would definitely need to take medicine to treat their injuries. At that time, he would need more silver, but he didn’t know how much money the siblings still had.
He waved his hand and said, “Follow me in the future. No one will bully you in this imperial mausoleum!”
When Yun Xiao heard this, she exchanged glances with Rong Jin, and the smile in her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she repeatedly agreed.
Since Eunuch Mao had witnessed their’wealth and wealth ‘, They would definitely be more interested in the silver in their hands. Those who could casually attack would definitely have a hundred taels of silver. In this way, even if they returned to the Imperial Mausoleum, Eunuch Mao would only conceal what had happened today in order to obtain the silver. Perhaps he would even help them conceal their identities. In this way, no one would compete with him.
Their identities would not arouse any suspicions.
Of course, this was also a path that Yun Xiao and Rong Jin had left behind in case they didn’t see the divine immortal herbs and went back to hide.
The three of them continued forward. After a total of three interrogations, they arrived at the entrance of a mountain cave. There were also heavily armed men at the entrance. Eunuch Mao took the token from his body and brought Yun Xiao and Rong Jin inside.
However, after entering the cave, Eunuch Mao did not allow the two of them to continue walking in. He stopped them at a corner of the cave and said, “Leave the things to me. You two just wait here.”
Rong Jin and Yun Xiao immediately put the things down and handed them to Eunuch Mao. Eunuch Mao took the shoulder pole and placed it on his shoulder. He took a step forward and trembled. Before he could receive the wooden basin and soft towel in Yun Xiao’s hand, half of the water in the wooden bucket trembled.
Eunuch Mao’s expression was extremely angry, “Why is it so heavy?” If the water trembled, he would have gone for nothing today. He put down the shoulder pole and handed it to Rong Jin again. He said sternly, “This shoulder pole is still yours. However, when you enter later, you must follow me closely. If you can’t ask, don’t ask. If you can’t look, don’t look at it casually!”
Rong Jin and Yun Xiao exchanged a glance. There was a trace of joy and doubt in their eyes. However, they quickly concealed it. To be able to obtain such attention from the Imperial Mausoleum, to use heavy weapons and formations to protect it, it was definitely not an ordinary thing. Moreover, if their guess was correct, they would probably really be able to obtain immortal herbs.
The two of them nodded excitedly. “Thank you for your advice, father-in-law. We know what to do.”
He continued to follow behind Eunuch Mao. Not long after, he saw that there was only a stone wall left in front of him. There was no way to go. Yun Xiao and Rong Jin exchanged a glance again and saw Eunuch Mao pressing a spot on the stone wall. The stone wall in front of them opened up a path that only one person could pass through.
Eunuch Mao glanced at the two of them again and reminded them loudly, “Remember, you can’t randomly look at them!”
Yun Xiao and Rong Jin immediately answered. Only then did they cross the stone wall and walk over. After entering, they discovered that this was a platform. Eunuch Mao, however, did not let them continue to follow. “Wait here for now. I will be back in a moment.”
After he finished speaking, he took the wooden basin and soft towel in Yun Xiao’s hand and placed it on the wooden bucket. He picked up a bucket of water and walked towards the stone staircase on the left. This stone staircase was so crisp that Eunuch Mao would make a crisp sound every time he took a step, just like the sound of water dripping through rocks.
Seeing Eunuch Mao’s figure gradually disappear, Yun Xiao moved closer to Rong Jin and said, “Shall we go take a look? Maybe there really is a divine immortal herb.”
Rong Jin nodded, “Go take a look!” If he didn’t take a look, he would probably have been reading it all along.
However, that stone staircase could not be left. If they walked on it, they would make a sound. They were afraid that Eunuch Mao would discover them before they even got up. Although they were not afraid of Eunuch Mao, this cave was so mysterious. If something were to be activated, it would be very difficult for them to deal with it. What they feared the most was that the Mao Guild would destroy the things inside.
Moreover, they had already guessed that the items inside were most likely immortal herbs, but they still needed to confirm it.
Rong Jin hugged Yun Xiao and flew up. He stepped on a protruding mountain rock, revealing only his head. He carefully looked out.
When she saw that green thing, Yun Xiao clearly felt that the man who was hugging her stiffened!
