Ban Xia's eyes lit up. She also hoped that Liu Laosan would have an even better backer in the future.

"Just follow him. Although you will inevitably have to be on tenterhooks in the future and there will be sacrifices in blood, I promise you, if you follow him, you won't regret it!"

Although he had numerous abilities under his command, all of them were loyal to him, with the exception of the seemingly different Du Zhong.

He was not old, he was only middle-aged, but as long as he had a good plan for himself, he could have a new, completely different life.

He could also spend some silver to marry a wife for himself and then continue his line of descent into the clan and give birth to a little child. This way, he would be able to achieve perfection.

But no, he hadn't thought of it for himself.

All his thoughts and thoughts were repaying the debt of gratitude.

Who would have noticed this place? Even if someone had passed by, they would not have known who was buried here. The buried Empress Dowager Zhen did not have any valuable buried items in her coffin, so even those tomb robbers who had put in so much effort to steal and dig would probably not come here.

However, guarding Empress Dowager Zhen's grave was Liu Laosan's belief.

In his opinion, nothing else was more meaningful and important than this.

"Sure, I respect your opinion." Qian Yexun did not feel anything in her heart, that was definitely a lie.

Ban Xia felt even more admiration for Liu Laosan.

"Take care of yourself then."

Everyone had the right to choose their own lives, and the goals they pursued were also different. If this was what Liu Laosan hoped for, then they could only support him, and silently pray that a good person like him could live for a hundred years.

The three of them said their goodbyes in the wilderness. Once they did, they might never see each other again. From then on, each side had their own priorities!

After travelling for half a day and reaching a patch of forest, Ban Xia hesitantly took out the small box she had been hiding in during her break.

Holding it in her hand, she seemed to be thinking about something, as if something was weighing on her mind.

"What? Are you regretting accepting the final request from Empress Dowager Zhen?" You think this little thing in your hand is just a hot potato now? "

Ban Xia was not in a good mood in the first place, but at this time, she glared at Qian Yexun.

This person really didn't know how to chat!

The little box in her hand was indeed a hot topic. The key was that even now, she still did not know what exactly was in this little box. Once it was opened, what kind of change would it bring to her life, and to Qian Yexun's life?

Was it a surprise, or a nightmare?

Who knew? Therefore, her emotions were indescribably complicated.

"No, you're wrong about one thing. I don't regret it. In that situation, even if it wasn't Empress Dowager Zhen or some other unrelated pitiful person's trust, I would have done everything in my power to help them."

After her rebirth, her heart had become softer and softer.

This was the emotion that a female assassin should not have.

To be lenient was to give the other party an opportunity to kill him.

"Why don't you open it for me?" Ban Xia directly threw the box to Qian Yexun.

Qian Yexun used the stick in his hand, but it was not heavy.

"There's an extremely high possibility that there's some kind of precious treasure or treasure map inside? Since you've already given it to me like that, don't be afraid that I'll just give you a sling when you're not paying attention. By the time you discover it, it's already too late.

If he was a bad guy with bad intentions, then the matter would become very serious.

On Ban Xia's bitter face, a trace of a smile finally appeared.

"What's there to be afraid of? If you can take it away, I can take it back from you!"

It was just a joke, no one took it to heart.

Having gone through life and death together many times, the two of them had already built up a deep trust between them.

She had once placed his life in his hands.

If he wanted to harm her, she would have died eight hundred times over.

"Haha" Qian Yexun laughed openly.

The small box was made from top-quality Gold Silk Sauna Wood, and it was an item that flowed out of the palace. Qian Yexun had already known about this from the moment he had laid eyes on this small box.

In such a precious box, the contents must be precious. Even the Emperor himself would want them.

"Watch carefully, I'm going to open it now!"

The lock was a delicate little lock. It was a tool to unlock the lock, not an ordinary key, but a hairpin. The hairpin was also not an ordinary hairpin, but the chaste silver hairpin that the pampered empress dowager had loved the most in her life, with none remaining.

Liu Laosan gave this silver hairpin to them along with the small box.

It was this silver hairpin that the craftsmen of the palace had used to create this delicate little box for Empress Dowager Zhen.

Perhaps at that time, Empress Dowager Zhen was still very young and just thought that it was very amusing. Such a small box could be used to store some precious gold and silver jewelry.

With a "kata" sound, the small box was opened.

Ban Xia curiously went over to the box. There was indeed an item inside, but this item was a bill.

"What is this?"

Qian Yexun's expression changed too. How could it be a bill, such a good box, and only hold a piece of paper?

Carefully taking out the bill, Qian Yexun carefully examined it and discovered that it was a pawnshop ticket.

"This is a pawned ticket. With this ticket, I should be able to get something from this pawnshop."

It was not a treasure map that was as rich as a kingdom, nor was it some valuable treasure. There was only an ordinary-looking ticket for it.

Ban Xia took it and carefully looked through it, both positive and negative, but she still did not find anything abnormal.

"You spent so much effort just to find this?"

This made her feel a little depressed.

"Shouldn't we just go and retrieve the item and then know what it is?" Since he had already reached such a stage, he couldn't just leave it at that.

Qian Yexun had an intuition that something that could move Qian Yelei's killing intent was definitely not simple.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to keep her secret until she was about to die.

But at the moment, he temporarily didn't understand either.

"It's late today and the pawnshop is about to close. How about we just find an inn to stay at and go pick up some stuff from the pawnshop tomorrow morning?"

Seeing that there was going to be a market, Qian Yexun suggested.

"Won't it delay you from going to Banyan City? "The caravan has already left for so long …" With him accompanying her, Ban Xia was naturally happy, but it was just that his own matters should also be very important.

"Along the way, they will leave a mark for communication. Zhang Liang has already gone to find these communication signals, so it shouldn't be difficult to contact them." At least, in Qian Yexun's opinion, everything was still under his control.

"Why don't we go to the pawnshop tomorrow? After we finish collecting our things, we can go chase the caravan. Hopefully, we can catch up to them before we reach the Banyan City." Ban Xia took the initiative to suggest.

However, plans never changed fast.

Just as he settled in the tavern, Zhang Liang hurried back with a serious face.

"What happened?" Ban Xia was uneasy.

To be able to make a person like Zhang Liang, with such a calm personality, change his expression. From this, it could be seen that things were not ordinary.

Zhang Liang suddenly dropped to his knees in front of Qian Yexun.

"Your subordinates deserve to die!"

Why did he kneel down and admit his wrongs, could it be that Zhang Liang had really done something wrong behind their backs? Ban Xia was puzzled.

Qian Yexun's eyelids suddenly twitched, the unease in his heart grew.

Anyone could betray him, but Zhang Liang was the only one.

Something huge must have happened to have Zhang Liang take the initiative to admit his wrongs.

But looking at it now, something big that made Zhang Liang feel such grief and indignation, and also made him so impulsive, came to his mind.

"Did something happen to the caravan?" Qian Yexun immediately asked about the suspicions he had.

Zhang Liang lowered his head, blaming himself even more.

This sort of silent depression was considered a tacit agreement.

"What happened?"

Qian Yexun bellowed, causing Zhang Liang to be unable to endure the pressure and report the matter to him.

"Mistress, a message came over that our caravan, on the way to Banyan City, had all been ambushed and assassinated by black-robed assassins. The scale and the number of people were even more than the previous group. No one survived. "

The atmosphere in the guest room was heavy and depressing.

That caravan, Ban Xia had also mixed in before, it was a caravan with 20-30 people.

Of course, the caravan was just a form of cover, they were actually the elite guards of Prince Feather's residence in the capital city. It was just that in order to hide their identity, they pretended to be merchants and used the caravan as a cover to move closer to Banyan City.

Everything had been disguised perfectly, but it was still discovered in the end.

These assassins in black were truly invincible!
