Chapter 506 – Husband Prepared a Good Play for You (2/2)
A certain person gritted her teeth: “Can you speak human?”
“… Dear wife, I did it on purpose to tease you.”
You fucker, you teased someone for a full year. Who are you lying to?
Feng Yu Heng became furious and picked up the gold mask that had been taken off then was about to go on a rampage. The pair of hands that were like iron vices energetically reached forward, causing Xuan Tian Ming to tremble with fear and snatch back the gold mask, “Wait!”
It was rare that he would say something serious, and Feng Yu Heng decided to give him face. She stopped and did not continue to snatch it away. She just seriously asked: “Speak, what is the problem?”
Xuan Tian Ming raised the mask in his hand, “Don’t you want to know what Feng Jin Yuan has? Speaking of, it seems that the thing that he has is related to husband.”
Long before Xuan Tian Ming took off his mask and revealed his untarnished face, Feng Yu Heng already had this sort of feeling. This mask definitely could not just be for the sake of teasing her. There had to be a reason that Xuan Tian Ming could wear this mask so conspicuously and naturally, while also being impossible for others to understand.
Right now, he spoke of the thing that Feng Jin Yuan had. Feng Yu Heng blinked her eyes and thought about it. She then turned her eyes on the mask.
Xuan Tian Ming smiled at her then praised: “Our Heng Heng is smart!” In the face of Feng Yu Heng’s surprise, he then pulled out a piece of cloth from the edge of the mask.
Only at this point did she realize that the mask had multiple layers. At the same time, Xuan Tian Ming also confirmed something that Feng Yu Heng had speculated. The thing in this mask was extremely important to the point that Xuan Tian Ming could only use this sort of method to hide it on his person. What exactly was it?
She reached out and received the rolled up cloth. She found that something was embroidered on it. She could not say what exactly was on this embroidery. There were mountains and rivers; however, the mountains were snow-capped and outlined with a white line. Analyzing the shape, she could faintly see the shape of a dragon’s head. As for the other things, she could not understand it. She could only vaguely guess at it. Helplessly raising the piece of cloth, she asked Xuan Tian Ming: “A map?”
Xuan Tian Ming nodded, “There is a dragon vein in Qian Zhou. Apparently, it is within the three northernmost provinces of Da Shun. Back when the three provinces still belonged to Qian Zhou, the location of the dragon vein was controlled by the soldiers. Later on, the three northernmost provinces changed hands, and they quickly retreated their soldiers. It seemed that they were defending against Da Shun discovering it. Da Shun has always wanted to acquire. After many years, it was slowly revealed that Qian Zhou’s dragon vein was in the three northernmost provinces. Not only was that dragon vein related to Da Shun’s fortune, but it also contained a wealth that could rival the wealth of a large country like Da Shun.”
Feng Yu Heng clicked her tongue, “How much money would that be!” A certain person’s eyes lit up and stared once more at the cloth: “The thing that you have is the map to the dragon vein?”
Xuan Tian Ming nodded but also shook his head, saying: “It can only be said to be a part. This thing was apparently something that the late emperor of Qian Zhou had embroidered. A total of 81 seamstresses were used, with each sewing a small part. Even if this was the case, after the entire thing was completed, all 81 seamstresses were killed. The old emperor separated the embroidery into three parts. Originally, it was safely held in one place. Unfortunately, the struggle for Qian Zhou’s throne became very brutal, and this thing was brought out by some prince. One part is currently with their emperor, I managed to obtain one part two years prior, and the other part, Feng Jin Yuan managed to obtain when on a tour of the North many years ago. At that time, one of Qian Zhou’s hidden guards managed to chase down one part of the map with great difficulty and placed that map into a vulture’s stomach using a special technique. He then had that trained vulture fly back to the ruler of Qian Zhou. Unfortunately, that vulture was shot down when it was flying past a ridge in the mountains. The ruler of Qian Zhou became furious and ordered for an investigation. As a result, they found that Feng Jin Yuan’s group was passing through the mountains at the time that the vulture was shot down.”
Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow tightly when listening to this, “Qian Zhou suspects that the third part of the map is in Feng Jin Yuan’s possession?”
Xuan Tian Ming nodded, “Naturally.” He then expressed his own thoughts: “But I keep feeling that things are not that simple. Feng Jin Yuan is indeed odd, but I have investigated for so long and have not found that he really is able to bring such a thing out. It must be known that I am not the only one investigating. Qian Zhou is also searching. In fact, father Emperor’s people are also searching. After all these years, if that thing was truly in Feng Jin Yuan’s possession, it would have already been found.”
She also provided some analysis, “That’s why the Cheng shi sisters entered the Feng family. Part of the reason is to help father Emperor search for this thing?”
Xuan Tian Ming nodded, “Indeed.”
Her thoughts were the same as his, “With so many people searching, how could it still not be found? Unless that thing was never in Feng Jin Yuan’s possession.”
Seeing her furrow her brow, Xuan Tian Ming was unable to hold back his hand, as he gently poked the area between her eyebrows, “This matter is not something that can be understood overnight. We just need to continue waiting. Either way, we need to keep an eye on him.”
Feng Yu Heng nodded then sighed. She knew that this matter could not be rushed. She had just taken in a great deal of information in a short period of time. There truly was a bit too much information.
She waved her hand and said to him: “With you investigating, I cannot be bothered with worrying about it. Recently, there have been many matters at home. You already know about my mother’s matters, and grandfather has been focusing on Hundred Herb Hall. These matters still require me to take care of. This Han shi also…”
“Husband will help you with this.” Xuan Tian Ming hated seeing his wife struggle the most. Upon hearing Feng Yu Heng mention Han shi, he immediately spoke up, “Didn’t you want to disgust Feng Jin Yuan? Husband has already thought of a good trick for you. Let’s go and sleep first. After getting enough sleep, just wait and see the good play tomorrow!”
