In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 920 - 925: Map of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 920: Chapter 925: Map of Mountains and Rivers

When she first entered, Su Pan’er’s attention had been fixed on these books.

Generally speaking, families that coalesced around clan lineage liked to write down anything useful on paper and pass it down through generations!

It was because of this that she made the mistake of not seeing the forest for the trees!

The true treasure of the Qin Clan was not in these books, but on this wall, on these stone carvings!

Those stone carvings, the carvings on...

Su Pan’er had not initially spotted the critical issue, but as she examined them more closely, doubts began to form. Then, a thought flashed through her mind, and she hurriedly rummaged within her bosom.

She quickly found the small scroll she had obtained from the mouth of the Buddha statue, unfurled it hastily, and compared it meticulously with the stone carvings on the wall. A bold idea formed in her mind!

So that was it!

...

Sitting inside the carriage with her eyes slightly closed, Su Pan’er still couldn’t recover from the shock of that discovery even now!

Looking at the carvings alone, probably no one would have found anything. And looking at this small scroll alone, nothing stood out either! But if both are combined with the tunnels inside Deicide Mountain, they would form a massive "Map of Mountains and Rivers"!

Map of Mountains and Rivers!

The stone carvings were the entire map of the tunnels, whereas the small scroll marked the locations of the tunnel exits!

Combining the two, it reveals the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" that has been passed down for thousands of years within the Valley of Ghosts, allowing the use of Deicide Mountain’s internal tunnels to connect Shengjing with various fiefdoms efficiently.

It was also the real reason why the Valley of Ghosts had constantly faced annihilation over the years!

However, Su Pan’er slowly opened her eyes.

She was curious as to why the old clan leader had given that envelope to her. Such a crucial thing as the Map of Mountains and Rivers, tied to the lives and deaths of countless people.

With it, within a few days and nights, she could command the Great Army to move swiftly across the Great Zhou Dynasty’s territory from Luoyan Village, creating an army that could appear and vanish without a trace or shadow!

She silently covered her chest.

There, lodged in her bosom, was the small scroll marked with the tunnel exits.

This item was too important, important enough that even if she had to sacrifice her own life, it must be preserved at all costs!

She must hand it over to Qin Yi as soon as possible.

Su Pan’er remained silent, but Qin Yanyan beside her was chattering nonstop, like a happy little swallow.

"Mother, look over there! Mother, look at the geese, so many of them!"

Qin Yanyan clapped her hands joyfully, pointing towards the riverbank ahead.

Sitting next to Qin Yanyan was Qin Shuan’er, who followed Qin Yanyan’s pointing direction and immediately let out a chuckle.

"Yan Yan sister, those aren’t geese, those are a bunch of white ducks. Look carefully, geese and white ducks are different, geese are bigger, have longer necks, and have bumps on their heads. Whereas white ducks don’t, they..."

Qin Shuan’er explained gently, showing no sign of impatience.

"But Shuang’er sister, how can I not tell them apart..."

Qin Yanyan tugged at Shuang’er’s arm, shaking it, a mischievous look on her face.

Su Pan’er opened her eyes to watch the interaction between the two, then closed them again silently.

This road from Luoyan Village to the county city had been built by the Qin Family with their own silver, after the smallpox vaccination spread through Luoyan Village. As a result, countless commoners voluntarily worked to construct a major road leading directly to Luoyan Village.

The carriage traveled swiftly, and in just two hours, they arrived at Lui Family’s Mansion.

Su Pan’er’s visit to Lui Family’s Mansion was not only to bring Old Xue to see Uncle Lui, but more importantly, she was eager to find out the current situation of Qin Yi.

Originally, she wanted to wait for the rascal pig to return, but now that she had acquired the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," where was the mood to wait any longer?

They arrived early and just in time to intercept Lui Muyi who was about to leave the house.

Lui Muyi’s face was full of surprise, "I was just about to go to Luoyan Village to find you. It was a close call that we didn’t miss each other on the road."

Old Xue laughed heartily, "It’s the ugly girl who was worried, we headed out before dawn."

This teasing made Su Pan’er’s face turn slightly red.

"Old Xue, are you teasing me again?"

"Far from it, the old man is just stating the facts, not wronging you in the slightest," Old Xue stroked his speckled beard, his face full of joy.

"I am concerned about the war, not just about him!"

Su Pan’er stated earnestly.

This was indeed the truth, yet no one believed it.

Lui Muyi’s gaze darkened slightly, but he just smiled and didn’t speak, "Let’s go inside to talk! My father happens to be at home."

The group entered Lui Family’s Mansion and, after some time paying their respects to Lui Ming and exchanging pleasantries,

Su Pan’er patiently listened to everyone’s casual chat until it seemed that they had discussed enough, and she asked about Qin Yi and the current situation in Taohua Valley.

"I was in charge of the purchases, and then after the incident in Taohua Valley, the purchasing was handed over to your first cousin brother Su Huarong and your brother Su Ke, and I rushed to Taohua Valley in a hurry. Everything there has been settled now, at that time..."

Lui Muyi recounted the tragic situation in Taohua Valley and spoke of the survivors and the rank-and-file soldiers who had helped bury the deceased, as well as the efforts to rebuild their homes. Later, he also mentioned receiving a message and rushing back home in a hurry.

"Before I left, I received a message that Qin Army had already besieged Xiangyang City and caused the Defender there considerable trouble. By now, they must have taken Xiangyang City and are heading north to capture Shengjing."

Su Pan’er listened in silence as Lui Muyi explained the situation, then stood up and bowed to Lui Muyi.

"That the deceased were laid to rest in peace is all thanks to Big Brother Lui! I thank you in advance."

"Hey, hey! Don’t bother with such formalities."

Lui Muyi hurriedly helped her up and winked at her, "Lui here was dispatched by your Fourth Brother-in-law; it’s part of my duties, and no thanks are necessary."

He winked and laughed.

This also let Su Pan’er breathe a sigh of relief, "Big Brother Lui, do you have a way to quickly get a message to Qin Yi’s ears?"

"What’s the matter? Why the sudden need to send a message?"

Lui Muyi became a bit anxious.

Su Pan’er rarely showed such urgency; her demeanor now suggested something serious might have occurred.

"It’s nothing big, I just have a message for Qin Yi. Do you have a way?"

Su Pan’er realized she had lost her composure and quickly steadied her mind.

"Finding him shouldn’t be difficult. I have a way to locate him as quickly as possible."

After some thought, Lui Muyi agreed, "Why don’t you write a letter, and I’ll have my men deliver it for you?"

Su Pan’er was overjoyed!

"For this, I owe Big Brother Lui many thanks."

Lui Muyi shook his head, "It’s a small effort, don’t mention thanks. I’ve caused you so much trouble, and I appreciate that you don’t hold it against me, otherwise..."

He was referring to the matter with Su Xian’er, wasn’t he?

Su Pan’er smiled, "That matter is in the past, you should stop mentioning it. Once the war situation has settled down, these things will matter even less."
