Chapter 384: Digging up the Whole Anping Vige

    Yang Wang knew how crucial that point was but had no idea if anyone else had noticed. When he initially shone two torches to explore, the surroundings were so gloomily dark that it’s possible nobody else discovered it.


    Even if they didn’t notice, it wouldn’t matter.


    Regarding Yang Ye and Ma Dongshu, Yang Wang had pretty much determined why they hade to Anping Vige.


    Under the guise of assessing geomancy, they were in fact hunting for treasure.


    Tsk, he had actually thought that Yang Ye had taken such a lengthy stay in Anping Vige because he was overly fond of Qiao Xiaomai’s craftsmanship. He had underestimated Yang Ye.


    Although his fourth brother was a seemingly idle prince, he actually had his fair share of ambition.


    As for the two generations of the Tong family, Tong Tiehu, he could find no w in him no matter how hard he scrutinized. This old man was tooposed, exuding bnced emotions under various circumstances, making it hard to find anything amiss.


    No problem if there’s nothing to be found, for Tong Sang had a w.


    A rural youth skilled in martial arts and excelling in lightness skill. Tong Sang’s mere existence was thus the greatest w of the Tong Family.


    That is to say, no matter whether Tong Tiehu had any peculiarities, he had already set his sights on the Tong family.


    There was uncertainty regarding when this secret tunnel was built.


    No matter.


    No noises of things being moved about had been heard.


    It didn’t matter.


    Evidently, the treasures were transported away during these days.


    The size of this treasure should be clear just by looking at the cer. Such arge batch of treasure couldn’t possibly have been moved out without making any noise.


    Therefore, this treasure was still in Anping Vige.


    There must be a mechanism within this secret tunnel.


    The Tong Family must have used this mechanism to shift the treasure to somewhere in Anping Vige.


    “General Cen, gather manpower and dig up the whole Anping Vige. This batch of treasure is surely hidden here,” Yang Wang instructed.


    Hmph, they all acted as if nothing had happened. Did they think he would be left clueless?


    Naive.


    Cen Hong nodded, “Your Highness, how many men would you like me to summon?”


    “Summon the entire force of ten thousand stationed in Huai’an County.” Yang Wang replied.


    Due to the existence of Bailu Town, Huai’an County had arger poption than other counties and therefore, a proportionallyrger garrison as well.


    Ten thousand men should be more than enough to excavate a small vige. “Yes, I’ll return to the County Town immediately,” acknowledged Cen Hong. “Go ahead. I’ll inspect the secret tunnel once more to see if there’s any new discovery.” Saying this, Yang Wang returned to the secret tunnel, hands behind his back.


    “Your Highness…do you wish to notify Prince Wei?” Cen Hong hesitated before asking.


    “No need,” Yang Wang responded without turning back.


    Yang Ye was but an idle prince, holding no official title or substantial power. He was not a cause for concern.


    At this point, no one could block his treasure hunting endeavour.


    He had traversed this long secret tunnel several times already. This time, he made use of his lightness skill and swiftly dashed towards the cer.


    If such arge batch of treasure had been moved by a mechanism, then the mechanism must be in or around the cer.


    He was going to inspect these areas once again more thoroughly this time.


    About a mile from the cer, he stopped and felt brick by brick, including the gaps in between.


    Unfortunately, he didn’t find anything.


    At this point, his guard brought some breakfast, which he ate hastily before continuing to feel the bricks.


    Soon, he had covered the entire cer and every spot on the surrounding walls within arm’s reach.


    “Fetch adder,” he ordered the guard behind him.


    He had inspected the top of the cer with Cen Hong multiple times, although they were using torches and were more hasty back thenpared to his level of detail this time.


    Yes, it warranted another thorough inspection.


    Soon, severaldders were brought and erected, with guards holding torches apanying him, inspecting meticulously.


    By noon, he finally made a new discovery: one brick was distinctively different from the others.
