Therefore, when Li Zhiyuan entered, he beca the sole inheritor of the Qin family in this generation, and it was the sa for the Liu family.
When Li Zhiyuan was carried past Jie Shun'an, Jie Shun'an breathed heavily and whispered:
"Qin Family... Qin Family... Are the Qin Family truly... truly dead... truly all gone?"
Li Zhiyuan still ignored him.
At this mont, silence ant consent.
Jie Shun'an's face lit up with joy, and he burst into laughter.
"Hehehe... Hahahahaha!"
However, this ti the laughter was devoid of the previous ferocity.
Images of the past arose in his mind:
Under his grandmother's knee, listening to stories of the forefathers and the Dragon King of Qin Family suppressing the General together, stories about what kind of family the Qin family is, and generations of Dragon Kings who traveled the world for the Righteous Path.
Those nights, holding the Dragon King Tablet of the Qin family, weeping and pleading, offering sacrifices.
It turned out the Qin family did not deliberately stay away, but all the Qin Family mbers had perished... Haha, it's good.
The lofty image he revered since childhood has not collapsed, bringing happiness to Jie Shun'an.
Yet, it also brought him confusion.
"Qin Family... Qin Family... What for... why did they die?"
Li Zhiyuan had already moved on, the party inaccessible to the eyes, had also departed.
"Tell ... tell ... why did the Qin Family die... why died?"
Tan Wenbin reached out, grabbed Jie Shun'an's hair and pulled back, then lowered his head, questioning Xie Shun'an's face:
"What do you think they died for?"
Jie Shun'an's body began to tremble; when the image of Qin Family was restored in his heart, the reason beca fairly easy to guess.
A family with such profound heritage, if they sought to avoid disaster, had nurous ways, even rely secluding for a century would leave no room for underestimation.
Therefore, the reason for such occurrence could only be an active decision by the Qin Family.
This overly significant contrast instantly fell upon both the Qin Family and the Jie Family.
The Qin family heirs continuously protect the common people and uphold the Righteous Path, while he himself...
"How could this happen, why did it happen?"
Jie Shun'an began muttering incessantly.
Tan Wenbin sighed; if it were soone else, he might think this fellow feared failure and death as re acting. But this guy, being inherently an extre lunatic, might indeed be showcasing genuine emotions now.
"You guys go follow Brother Xiao Yuan, rember not to get too close, watch your line of sight, I must handle sothing first, afraid there wouldn't be enough ti later.
Oh, take this fellow along, let him keep watching."
After giving a brief instruction to his teammates, Tan Wenbin ran in another direction.
After exiting the palace, he arrived at a hollow in the northwest corner; although the area was not small, it was hard to notice.
At this ti, the great eunuch stood there.
"Xiao Binzi, hard work on you, even now, rembering us."
"Godfather, how could you say such things."
"There are things I can't comprehend or understand, but I see clearly that your endeavor succeeded.
After succeeding, you still didn't discard us like a used rag; you rembered the promise and ca here.
Your call of godfather, now I dare to accept it truly.
Unexpectedly, I had many godsons in life, but the ones cherishing old ties were received years after death."
"Is that the direction, godfather?"
"Yes, dig down there."
"Alright, watch closely."
Tan Wenbin took out the Yellow River Shovel from his bag, unfolded it, and started digging, soon unearthing a coffin.
"Godfather, shall I directly forcibly open the coffin?"
"I'm standing right in front of you; are you afraid of disturbing ?"
"Hehe."
Tan Wenbin pried open the coffin; inside lay a set of remains.
They were ordered to be buried together, naturally making extensive preservation unlikely; having a coffin here was already an oversized treatnt.
The underground nearby buried unknown numbers of maids and eunuchs, several white bones extending above the surface; he had been careful not to step on them while approaching.
"Ugh, cannibalistic old society!"
"I can't understand the words, but they sound satisfying."
Tan Wenbin took out a bag from the package and started collecting the remains. So bones were too large; for ease of fitting, he tapped them with the shovel.
Having tidied up, Tan Wenbin continued searching in the coffin with curiosity.
"Hmm?"
The great eunuch reminded: "I told you, gold and silver jewelry is in the coffin's sandwich layer; you must smash it."
"No, godfather, isn't your treasure here?"
"Are you searching for my treasure?"
"Yes, I heard during burial, you all would take treasures with you, or stitch them back. Isn't that the case?"
"Indeed, my treasure was originally stored at the ho of the master who cleansed ; yearly, I dispatched soone with a gift money, asking them to carefully safeguard it for my eventual retrieval upon leaving the mansion at old age.
Sadly, burial was rushed; my treasure was stored at the Luoyang master's ho, and the General Mansion is distant from Luoyang, there was no ti for the treasure's return."
"Oh, like that, alright, once I leave and take gold, I'll forge a treasure and place it within the remains for burial."
"Well, gold seems sowhat soft."
"I overlooked it; rest assured godfather, I'll find sturdy steel and seek a mold factory to let the most experienced master craft one with a lathe."
