The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2584 - 68: This Seems to Be Part of a Map

"I knew you’d be like this, and it’s just right." Ye Haoxuan thought deviously, amused by how furious she was yet couldn’t show it.

Li Luru grinned, pointed at him, with her big eyes saying clearly, "Watch out or I’ll bite you."

"Want to bite me?" Ye Haoxuan whispered, "Remember to bite here." He touched his lips.

"..."

"Hiss..." Ye Haoxuan glared at her while rubbing his foot, "Are you trying to kill me? My toes are bound to be broken by your stomp sooner or later."

Hearing this, Ye Rongqing said to Ye Haoyang, "Second, why do I feel like we’re being a nuisance here?"

Ye Haoyang was engrossed in watching, completely ignoring him.

After a while, he said, "This seems to be a part of a map."

"What?" Ye Haoxuan and others were drawn to it.

"I have a map, and this seems to be part of it."

After he came of age, his father gave him two things as compensation for not inheriting the family title.

One was a treasure map, the other was a token for a secret mission.

And this map here, he felt strongly it was part of it.

Upon hearing this, Ye Haoxuan took a look and soon laughed, "If it’s true, after we deal with them, you can have another look."

Soon, it was a new day, and Ye Haoxuan checked the route when morning dew hadn’t dried.

"Are all preparations complete?"

"The subordinates worked all night; everything’s ready. It’s just a thin layer of soil above. Once the rope is pulled, the entire ground will sink."

"Very good!" Ye Haoxuan surveyed the surroundings and then said, "After catching him, don’t let him die immediately."

"Yes!"

"Has Tu Niu appeased those people?"

Besides the two guards, other brothers naturally needed calming. Otherwise, when the prefect and others arrived, if those people emerged, it’d be troublesome.

"Hmph, that Second was disobedient, got killed." San said, "Only one inside wants to be the boss, the others are fairly obedient."

"If they weren’t obedient, they wouldn’t have stayed on White Stripe Mountain all these years." Ye Haoxuan thought and said, "Pacify them well. Afterward, I won’t let them suffer."

"Yes!"

After checking, Ye Haoxuan returned to the mountaintop. They had just been ushered into the residence.

However, the authority’s group arrived leisurely, making noise only by noon.

"Greetings, esteemed sirs!"

"Rise!"

Seeing the speaker was a young gentleman, Tu Niu recalled his lord’s instructions, guessing this was the target. He felt stirred inside but didn’t show it.

"Thank you, sir!"

Speaking of which, Old Niu always had his own measure of people, and this person before him could be even more ruthless than those above.

It’s evident just by their gaze.

"Heard there’s treasure on this mountain?"

The voice was lazy but carried a faint chill.

Tu Niu hurriedly bowed and replied, "Yes, sir, there’s a gold mine!"

"How did you discover it?" A female voice suddenly interjected, quite abruptly.

Situ Er glanced displeased at Miss Bai.

"The brothers discovered it." Tu Niu replied clumsily, "A few days ago, the brothers wanted to cut trees to build new residences and selected a spot. After chopping a few trees, they decided to test the soil beneath. If too soft, it would be unsuitable for building. Who knew, after digging for a while, they found yellow underneath."
