Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1787 Treasure

Even though Yanran had dealt with insects many times, she had never seen such insects. She felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.

"Chen Tao, look over there quickly." Yan Ran was feeling heavy-hearted when she suddenly grabbed Chen Tao's hand and asked, "Is there any black smoke coming out of that place?"

Chen Tao looked in the direction she said and nodded quickly: "There is indeed black smoke."

"Let's go over and take a look at the situation." Yanran had hope in her heart, but it didn't show on her face.

Chen Tao didn't have any good ideas, so he just did as she said. The two of them rushed over with their men. At the location of the black smoke, Wan Shufang felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit, but she persisted.

Chen Changli supported her and asked with concern, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, I'm just overwhelmed by the stench." Wan Shufang leaned on him and said weakly.

The prince pinched his nose and said, "What is that cloaked man planning? Even destroying the body would not be like this."

After staying in the cave for a day, he thought about some things and was about to discuss them in detail with Chen Changli and his wife.

They never expected that the cloaked man would suddenly bring a group of people to escort them here, and then they would see a swarm of insects gnawing at their corpses.

They had seen many horrific things, but they had never seen so many corpses being devoured by insects. They immediately vomited bile.

However, the cloaked man did not give them a chance to escape and forced them to watch such a thing.

The three of them could not refute it to any avail, so they could only grit their teeth and persevere.

They held out all night long and were almost numb, but the stench was always with them. They couldn't ignore it and could only rely on each other, as if using this method to hide the murderous intent in their hearts.

"He is clearly trying to intimidate us in this way." Wan Shufang's eyes turned red with hatred and she gritted her teeth.

Chen Changli agreed with her words: "We exposed his identity and tried our best to persuade him. He was unhappy and warned us in this way."

As he spoke, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This man is so petty, he even wants to replace the Sixth Prince. I'm afraid he won't even be able to hide it from Tu Yuanzhou, and he will be killed."

"Have you three said enough?" The cloaked man walked over with a sarcastic look in his eyes.

"If we didn't say so, how could you appear in front of us?" The prince looked calm.

The cloaked man laughed and said, "I am indeed narrow-minded, but before the matter is resolved, my tolerance is very high. If you want to use this as an excuse to find out, I will be happy to cooperate with you, but I didn't expect that you don't have this intention."

The prince smiled faintly: "Things are already clear, the situation is obvious, so there is no need to inquire or dwell on some things. In your hearts, fighting for interests is the most important thing anyway. What are the people? In your eyes, they are not even as good as grass."

When Wan Shufang heard this, she knew that the prince had figured out everything.

She felt relieved and looked at the cloaked man calmly. After a moment, she said, "Your true identity has been exposed, so why do you still wear a black cloak?"

She paused, then continued, "What's your name? We can't call you the Sixth Prince."

"Yan Wutong." The cloaked man was silent for a long time and suddenly said.

"This name sounds nice." The prince looked at him and said solemnly.

"The phoenix needs Wutong to be reborn." Listening to the prince's words, Yan Wutong had some meaning.

Upon hearing this, the prince was silent for a long time before he sighed, "Chang Xuewei's fate is a lesson for you, and fighting for the world is not as simple as you think."

"Tu Yuanzhou has the upper hand now, but don't you know why the Quanrong people are here?"

"Tu Yuanzhou may be able to suppress them on the surface, but in fact they have already found another way out and are preparing to turn the tables."

Yan Wutong looked at the prince with interest, and after a while he said, "Prince, I am just a little unwilling."

The prince's eyes moved slightly, and he said softly: "Chang Xuewei was also unwilling, but what was her fate, didn't you see it clearly?"

The prince's words were full of hidden meanings. Yan Wutong shook his head and said, "She asked for it. I won't end up like her. Instead of using him to warn me, why don't you think about where the treasure the old emperor has prepared?"

"What treasure?" The prince and Chen Changli and his wife were shocked. The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"You brought the three of us here, do you want to get the treasure through us?" Chen Changli felt that this was a bit absurd. If the old emperor had a treasure, the other princes would have fought hard for it. How could it be his turn?

The prince said solemnly, "Yan Wutong, you may have been deceived. In order to achieve immortality, my father emptied the national treasury, and Liu Feng, a remnant of the previous dynasty, took advantage of his trust and secretly embezzled money."

The voice paused for a moment, and the prince emphasized: "The situation of the national treasury is worse than you think, so it is impossible for the emperor to have any treasures, otherwise he would have used the so-called treasures to get rid of the disobedient children long ago, so why would he support a puppet emperor?"

"I think the same as you, but Tu Yuanzhou doesn't believe it. Jiang Lin, Zhao Jing and others came here just to look for treasure." Yan Wutong smiled lightly, with a sarcastic tone.

"Are the Quanrong people coming for the treasure? No wonder they care so much about Jiang Lin. It seems that Jiang Lin knows something, and they hope to use him to get the treasure."

Chen Changli seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment he speculated.

"Zhao Jing is from Tu Yuanzhou. He seems loyal, but he actually has other ideas just like you. That's why he teamed up with the Quanrong people to get rid of Tu Yuanzhou's people."

"Chang Xuewei just wanted to kill the prince. Her hatred for the prince could cover up his plan, so he brought the cripple to cooperate with Chang Xuewei, trying to catch the mantis while the cicada was waiting for the oriole behind. But he didn't expect that you were the oriole."

After he said this, the prince and Wan Shufang also sorted out everything, with a look of shock on their faces, "This is a plan within a plan! It's a pity that the person who thought he was a yellow bird turned into a cicada. You, a yellow bird, may also end up like this."

"Don't curse me." Yan Wutong looked unhappy.

The prince looked innocent: "I am just stating the facts. Besides, if you were not worried, why would you trap us here?"

Chen Changli nodded quickly: "We really don't know what the treasure is. You caught the wrong person."

Yan Wutong was full of sarcasm, as if mocking the Crown Prince for being kept in the dark, "Just because you don't know doesn't mean the other princes don't know."

"If they knew about this, how could they have been targeting each other?" Wan Shufang was extremely confused.

"What are they thinking? Who knows?" Yan Wutong sneered.

"Perhaps the adult prince doesn't know." The prince stroked his chin and thought, "After all, the adult prince is a great threat to his father. Only the underage prince can get his love. But things can't be as I guessed, because the queen is still alive. Yan Wutong, you ignored the queen."
