CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 352: YOUNG MASTER XIAO, ARE YOU WILLING TO LET GO?_2

And the second young master of the Yuwen Family—at this moment, his status is indescribably noble.

Is he willing to die here?

Yu Wenye smiled faintly, still looking at his Mo Blade that gleamed with a cold, bright light, and said calmly: "When I came up the mountain, I had already decided."

After speaking, he suddenly looked at Xiao Yuansui: "But Young Master Xiao, are you willing?"

Xiao Yuansui frowned.

And Yu Wenye continued: "In the end, we came up the mountain just for those two maps. If Young Master Xiao is willing to return them, we don’t need to clash—moreover, perhaps you’ve already known the answer to the things on those maps, haven’t you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuansui had no reaction, but the expressions of those beside him clearly changed again.

Even from behind the large door, some restless sounds could be heard.

At this moment, Xiao Yuansui also realized that Yu Wenye and Shen Wuzheng kept mentioning the Left General’s Tomb and the treasure, and frequently hinted that the treasure was related to him. He had just killed Wang Quyi, and the people in Wanggang Village were unsettled. Mentioning such things again could easily lead some to have second thoughts.

Thinking of this, he said coldly: "What are you always talking about the Left General’s Tomb and the treasure, what do those things have to do with me?"

"..."

"Moreover, even the Emperor couldn’t find the Left General’s Tomb. Where did you get the maps to find that place?"

"..."

"Or are you just spouting nonsense, wanting those who hear the news to die in vain for the things you’ve fabricated?"

Upon saying this, those around were once again shaken.

But Shen Wuzheng immediately said: "Others may not know, but as the strategist of Zuo Heng’s rebellion, Young Master Xiao must have heard Zuo Heng mention that before he died, Duke Xiao Shan once invited someone proficient in Yin Yang Five Elements to find a treasure spot and build a tomb for him."

Xiao Yuansui said: "So what?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "My teacher is that person proficient in Yin Yang Five Elements."

Xiao Yuansui frowned: "Your teacher is—Li Tong?!"

Shen Wuzheng said: "Precisely."

Xiao Yuansui couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

He had certainly heard of this great scholar of Hedong, the contemporary Ghost Valley Master’s fame, and never expected Shen Wuzheng to be his disciple. Even if he denies it now, the matter of the Left General’s Tomb and the treasure has already left a deep impression in the hearts of those around, and naturally, they would think he knows the whereabouts of this tomb.

After all, one can prove they have something, but it’s hard to prove they don’t!

At this time, Yu Wenye said: "Young Master Xiao now occupies the Eastern Capital, commanding the mountain bandits, with ambitions for the world. If you were to die here for two maps, it would be a pity."

"..."

"Therefore, the question should still be asked by me—Young Master Xiao, are you really willing?"

"...!"

Xiao Yuansui frowned again.

Willing? He’s certainly unwilling!

He was born into a noble family, but because of a prophetic song, he was shunned by the court. With nowhere to turn, he followed Zuo Heng’s rebellion, only to see it fail, leaving him wandering and hunted by the court. He finally found refuge in Wanggang Village, gradually built up his power, and now he has returned to the Eastern Capital to exact his revenge and has even taken over the whole of Wanggang Village.

Now is the time for him to realize his grand ambitions and soar to the skies.

How could he be willing to give that up?!

However, at this point, even if he were to hand over those two maps that left Li Wen Yang and Wu Qian dead, it wouldn’t matter because the people of Wanggang Village would certainly believe in this matter more. Once Yu Wenye and Shen Wuzheng leave, this tomb and treasure will become the powder keg of Wanggang Village.

At that time, it would be even harder to regain people’s loyalty.

And this—should be the reason why these two dared to go up the mountain.

So, he cannot let these two leave, especially Shen Wuzheng, as he, being Li Tong’s disciple, could replace him and become the focus in the search for the Left General’s Tomb!

However—

As Yu Wenye said, he had already learned about this person before the last conflict at Xingluo Granary. Yu Wenye, famous from a young age, although noble as the second son of the Duke Mansion, grew up on the battlefield, always leading from the front in battles. The crisis in Yanmen County was solved by him alone charging into the Turkic army of a million, and during the rebellion at Jiangdu Palace, he rescued Shang Ruyi from the encirclement of the Imperial Guard with just a team.

This person has never feared death in battle, yet fate refuses to let him die!

Therefore, when he says he’s willing, he’s truly willing.

At this time, Xiao Yuansui couldn’t help but feel a trace of regret—when he knew the two came up the mountain, he should not have been too cautious, suspecting they had a backup plan and not immediately ordering his men to surround them. Later, when he sent people to observe along the way, he was too confident upon discovering that only these two had really come up the mountain, thinking that even if they were highly skilled, they were no threat and was more curious about what they intended to do up there.

Now, it has led to the current situation.

Seeing his brows tightly knit, with a somewhat gloomy expression, Shen Wuzheng said calmly: "Young Master Xiao, there’s no need for regret."

Xiao Yuansui looked up at him.

Shen Wuzheng said: "Perhaps you’re regretting being too cautious, too confident, and too curious just now. But whether it’s caution, confidence, or curiosity, they’re all good traits for people living in this chaotic world now. Young Master Xiao, you must not change."

"..."

After a long silence, Xiao Yuansui slowly raised his head.

In his bright eyes, there was a sharp and almost cold glow, and he suddenly sneered: "It seems you both have figured out Xiao Yuansui thoroughly."

"..."

"So, have you figured out Wanggang Village thoroughly?"

Yu Wenye slightly raised his eyebrows and exchanged a glance with Shen Wuzheng beside him.

Xiao Yuansui said: "Although Second Young Master Yu Wen is undeniably brave and skilled in war, taking the head of a general amidst thousands of troops with ease, fortunately, there are also such people in my Wanggang Village."

"..."

"If you want to kill me, why not first pass his test?"

Although always calm, upon hearing this, Shen Wuzheng couldn’t help but take a long breath.

He said in a deep voice: "Can you deal with Shen Tu Tai?"

Yu Wenye didn’t speak, just quietly looked ahead, and saw Xiao Yuansui slowly shifting aside, allowing someone to walk out from behind him.
