"The officials... are they sent by the imperial court?" The old village owner immediately suspected. "The people who can break my Five Elements and Bagua Formation are definitely not ordinary people. There must be experts among them who know the formation."
Ye Fuxun and Bai Yuxian looked at each other and thought of someone at the same time...Yu Xiunan.
"Master, what should we do now?"
The old manor owner thought for a while and said: "First inform Yun Hao and Zhou Yang and ask them to lead 60 people to guard the entrance of the manor. If the other party attacks by force, then attack them without mercy."
The people of Maple Grove Villa did not like people from the imperial court, and because the emperor killed his daughter, the old owner of the village even hated the imperial court, so he was not polite at all.
There are nearly five hundred people in Maple Grove Villa, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. Coupled with the easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain, the Villa can be defended impregnably. There are only a hundred or so people here, so you can completely ignore them.
inside.
But the problem is that there are far more than a hundred people in the imperial court. If reinforcements arrive from the other side, there will always be a day when the villa cannot be defended.
"Grandpa, the people in the imperial court are difficult to deal with. It's better for us not to fight with them, so as not to cause more trouble."
The old owner of the village said, "Don't worry. The reason why Maplewood Villa has been able to survive for hundreds of years is because of its power in the world. The imperial court is also afraid of the Villa and does not dare to take action easily."
After about a stick of incense, Zhou Yang came over. As soon as he entered the door, he glanced at Bai Yuxian and Ye Fuxun with strange eyes, and then turned to the old owner of the village and said: "Master, that group of people has arrived at the entrance of the villa.
Already."
The old village owner asked calmly: "Is there a fight?"
Zhou Yang shook his head: "Not really, our people stopped them. The leader claimed to be the Second Prince Yu Xiunan, and said he came to see his sixth sister, and also wanted to pay a visit to Master."
"Second prince?" The old manor owner frowned, glanced at Ye Fulun, and asked, "Ling'er, do you know what he is here for?"
Ye Fuxun shook his head and said, "I don't know. My second emperor brother always does things unexpectedly. I really can't see through it."
"No one from the imperial court has been able to find Cangxue Mountain for decades. As soon as you come back, they will follow you. I think this is the only way to explain it, right?" Zhou Yang said with a suspicious look on his face.
Ye Fuxun felt that Zhou Yang was deliberately targeting her. Ever since she came to the villa and saw Zhou Yang for the first time, she caught a hint of hostility deep in his eyes.
Although he has always behaved very friendly and enthusiastic, this intuition is not wrong. What is the reason that makes him hostile to me?
Ye Fuxun didn't have time to think too much. The most important thing at this time was not to let the old village owner doubt him. "I didn't. I really didn't know how the second emperor brother came here."
Zhou Yang wanted to refute, but the old owner stopped him first.
"Okay, don't say anything. Now is not the time to pursue these matters. Let's think about how to drive these people down the mountain. Zhou Yang, you go and guard each entrance first. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it later."
"Yes." Zhou Yang glanced at Ye Fulun, turned around and left.
Ye Fuxun was not sure what the old village owner was thinking, so he was ready to explain: "Grandpa, I..."
"You don't need to say anything, grandpa believes in you." The old owner said with certainty.
Ye Fuxun was suddenly moved. This might be the true family relationship where blood is thicker than water. Only such family relationship can make people have unreserved trust.
Ye Fuxun looked at Bai Yuxian, and when she saw him nodding towards her, she said to the old village owner: "Grandpa, actually, I know why my second emperor brother came here."
The old owner raised his eyebrows: "You know?"
Ye Fuxun nodded: "Yes, long before the old housekeeper went to the capital to find me, the second emperor brother came to me and asked me to take him to Maple Grove Villa for the purpose of finding the treasure."
The old manor owner was surprised and asked: "He knows about the treasure? How did you know about it?"
Since Ye Fuxun didn't intend to hide it anymore, he said it without reservation. "It was Nanny Lin who told me that Nanny Lin was the one who followed her mother and concubine into the palace. She turned out to be from Maple Grove Villa. Grandpa should be
Are you impressed?"
The old owner recalled for a while, nodded and said: "Remember, she watched your mother grow up. When Shu'er was still young, your grandmother passed away, and she has been taking care of your mother since then.
Her real name is Lin Xi, she was picked up by your great-grandfather, and she has always been very loyal to the Villa."
"Mama Lin was very loyal after she followed my mother-in-law into the palace. After my mother-in-law left, I wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for my mother-in-law."
Ye Fuxun said with some emotion, "It was she who told the secret of the treasure to the queen, so that I could grow up safely in the palace. But for some reason, the second emperor brother also knew about the treasure."
"Then does the emperor know?" the old village owner asked solemnly.
Ye Fuxun shook his head: "Father should not know about it, otherwise it would be impossible to remain indifferent."
Even if the emperor has no ambition to seize the treasure, he cannot leave the treasure alone and let it fall into the hands of other countries one day.
The old village owner thought this was reasonable. Similarly, if people from other countries knew that there was such a treasure, they would not remain indifferent. He slowly turned his head and looked at Bai Yuxian.
Bai Yuxian understood what he meant and said calmly: "Old owner, don't worry, this junior has no intention of seizing the treasure. No one in Dongchen knows the existence of the treasure except this junior.
This junior has only one purpose, which is to prevent the treasure from falling into the hands of the second prince. This man has evil intentions and is ambitious. If he gets the treasure, I am afraid that a bloody storm will occur in this world."
These words surprised the old village owner, but after thinking about it, he felt that these were words that a person as broad-minded and caring as Bai Yuxian could say.
"In that case, I and the prince have a common goal.
The reason why Maple Grove Villa hides itself from the world and does not deal with the imperial court is because it holds such a treasure. The quantity of this treasure is not small, and the effect it can play is not small. It must not be handed over easily, otherwise it will bring disaster to the people.
.
Over the years, many people, whether in the world or in the imperial court, who heard the legend of the treasure, wanted to come to the villa to seize the treasure, but they all gave up because they could not break the trap and could not go up the mountain or they could not find out where the Maplewood Villa was.
I thought that with the strength of Maple Grove Villa, I could live in peace forever without anyone being able to disturb me, but I never thought that this peace would be broken by Yu Xiunan."
At this time, a servant hurried in and reported: "Master, the second prince wants to see you."
"Does he want to see me?" The old owner sneered and refused directly, "Does he just want to see me? No!"
"Wait a minute! Old owner of the village, Yu Xiunan is a very well-connected person and is very capable of doing things. He is a person who cannot be underestimated." Bai Yuxian said quietly: "He came to the villa this time.
