The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Difficult to Send Off the God (6)

”’You’re saying that Shaoyao is from Song Manor?’” Yang Ruxin suddenly looked up.

Du Juan nodded: ”Jiaozhou Quanzhou Prefecture, Humen County, Song Manor—it’s certain.”

”Does that mean the other four guardians of the treasure map are respectively called Lamei, Mudan, Yingchun, and Furong?” Yang Ruxin’s brows furrowed ever higher.

”How... How do you know this?” Du Juan frowned.

”Are they located in Wanliu Town...” Yang Ruxin frowned, trying hard to recall the cryptic letter she had found in Zhao Yicong’s study, ”Suikao County, Guanghua County, and Daping Village?”

Du Juan was instantly horrified: ”Miss Yang, how... how do you know so well? You...” Her heart suddenly surged with alarm.

Yang Ruxin let out a sigh of relief, she had finally understood the meaning of the letter in Zhao Yicong’s study. Just as Gu Qingheng had speculated, the two of them were quite confused looking at that piece of paper because it depicted six flowers, each corresponding to a few characters. For example, the Du Juan flower corresponded to the character ’Xing’, and the Shaoyao flower matched the character ’Song’. At the time, Qingheng thought they might represent place names and checked them out one by one. Indeed, such villages and towns existed, but they never guessed what the flowers meant.

Now it seemed, Kang Wang Zhao Gou was truly clever back then, in choosing these six maids, it wasn’t random selection. The first character of their ancestral homes combined to form the six characters ”Guang (广) Xing Dasong Wansui” (Light the Glory of the Great Song Forever).

”I discovered a cryptic letter in the study of the County Magistrate of Wangjiang County, Zhao Yicong. It was too secretive, so I took a careful look but didn’t understand the meaning. But just now when you mentioned the Du Juan flower, it reminded me that the letter depicted a Du Juan flower with the character ’Xing’ beneath it. You then said you were from Xing County, and later mentioned that Shaoyao was from Song Manor. I connected the dots, yet never expected...”

”We originally thought we would guard this secret generation after generation until one day a descendant of Kang Wang would come with the orders to take away the treasure map, and we would have fulfilled our duty. But we did not expect that before the orders arrived, the descendants of Zhao Cheng found out. Now, the secret is no longer a secret...” A wave of relief washed over Du Juan, ”As far as I know, Lamei, Mudan, and Shaoyao are all dead. The treasure map left behind by Shaoyao was handed to me, but the other two were probably taken by force... As for Yingchun and Furong, I’ve lost contact with them... I fear the worst has happened to them...”

”So what do you plan to do?” Yang Ruxin’s head began to ache.

”I’m looking for someone who can protect me...” Du Juan’s gaze was fixated upon Yang Ruxin.

”Let me tell you, I saved you purely out of goodwill. I don’t want my whole family to get involved in all this palace intrigue and martial world strife. I’m not interested in treasures either; I just want to earn my modest living and lead a simple life. So, I’ll let you stay here to heal for a couple of days, then you’d better get lost quick...” Yang Ruxin felt goosebumps from being stared at and quickly clarified her stance.

”Heh, Miss Yang, haven’t you heard that it’s easy to invite a deity but difficult to send one away?” Du Juan laughed, ”Now that I’ve told you my secret, I won’t leave...” Saying this, she reached down to her thigh and untied a scroll of sheepskin, ”This is the share of the treasure from Shaoyao. Her ancestor, on his deathbed, peeled off the patterned skin from his back and passed it down from generation to generation... But now Shaoyao’s family has been annihilated...”
