Chapter 36 Treasure Token
Zhuo Qingfeng quickly asked, "Why didn't Mr. Wang inform the authorities of this matter in advance? If they had known this secret in advance, our Six Gates would definitely have taken it more seriously than just targeting Silver Fox!"

Madam Wang shook her head and said, "I also asked the master, but he said that if he informed the authorities in advance, they would definitely find a way to use the Silver Fox as a clue to track down the descendants of the Wood King.

He was unwilling to do so, because although he was unwilling to follow the descendants of King Mu in rebellion, he still acknowledged the kindness King Mu had shown to his ancestors, and he still wanted to give the descendants of King Mu a chance.

Therefore, he used the death notice to make a big deal out of it. Regardless of whether he would die or not, he would use this incident to make the matter of the Wood King's treasure known to the world and hand over the treasure token to the government, so that the Wood King's descendants would completely lose hope and give up the idea of ​​rebellion and live a peaceful life. As for himself, he would use his life to repay the favor, and the matter of the three great guards would be exposed to the world. The Wood King's descendants would no longer think of using the descendants of the three great guards to secretly rebel, and our Wang family would no longer be troubled by this ancestral precept.

"This……"

For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say.

If Wang Yuanbao had informed the government about the Wooden King's treasure in advance, the government could have used this to track down the Wooden King's descendants and bring them to justice. However, Wang Yuanbao gave up on this method and risked his own life.

No one knew how to evaluate Wang Yuanbao's choice, but from the perspective of friendship, Wang Yuanbao's move was indeed affectionate and righteous. Although many years and generations had passed, he would rather die than let the Mu Wang bloodline be cut off.

Xiao Xuan, who was standing by, suddenly said, "But the descendants of King Mu may not accept this. Then Mr. Wang's death would have been in vain."

Everyone felt that what Xiao Xuan said made sense.
According to Wang Yuanbao's plan, he would make a big fuss about the matter, and then make it public, and then hand over the treasure token to the government. The descendants of King Mu would completely lose King Mu's treasure, and the descendants of the three great guards would also be exposed to the world, and would no longer be of any use to King Mu's descendants. After all, the descendants of the three great guards could only have the opportunity to accumulate power for rebellion if they hid in the dark and were not noticed by the government. Once they were noticed by the government, even a wealthy family like the Wang family would have no chance to provide any help to the rebellion.

Madam Wang sighed and said, "Perhaps the descendants of the Wood King will be unwilling to accept this, but having lost the Wood King's treasure and without the help of the descendants of the three great guards, even if he wanted to rebel, he would be powerless to do so. He can only go into hiding from now on to prevent the extinction of the Wood King's bloodline. Master can be said to have repaid the favor of his ancestors."

After saying that, Mrs. Wang slowly opened an iron box that had been placed on the table next to her. Inside were two pieces of blood-red jade, both in the shape of long strips with some strange patterns on them.

"This is the token of the Wood King's treasure," Madam Wang said. "It was forged by the world's top weapon refiner at the invitation of the Wood King. It looks like an ordinary jade stone, but once the three pieces are combined, it will change. I don't know what the change is, but my master said that as long as the three pieces are combined, we will get the treasure map."

As she spoke, Madam Wang closed the iron box again and handed it to Zhuo Qingfeng, saying, "Master Zhuo, I leave this to you. After tonight, this matter will definitely spread throughout the martial arts world. Please pay attention to your safety. My personal suggestion is that you destroy it in public."

Zhuo Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't have that power. I must hand this token over to the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion. Besides, I don't agree with its destruction. If this Wood King's treasure falls into the hands of evildoers, it will be a disaster. But if the court takes it and uses it for the people, it can save countless poor people from dire straits."

Mrs. Wang didn't try to persuade him further, saying, "This matter will naturally be arranged by Master Zhuo himself." Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and asked, "There is one more thing, that is the third token. Zhao Hai, the holder of the first token, was able to find Mr. Wang. Does this mean that the descendants of the three great guards know each other's whereabouts? Has Mr. Wang contacted the holder of the third token?"

Madam Wang nodded and said, "I looked for it, but I couldn't find it. Back then, the three guards each took the token and fled the Mu Palace, hiding their identities. But in order to help the Mu Palace recover as soon as the descendants of the Mu King appeared in the world, they agreed to meet at a time and tell each other where they were.

One changed his surname to Zhao in Qingyang County, one changed his surname to Wang in Linjiang County, and another changed his surname to Ma in Dongshui County. After meeting Zhao Hai, the master went to Dongshui County to meet the descendants of the Ma family. However, he learned that many years ago, the Ma family had suffered a disaster. A plague killed everyone, leaving only a girl who has disappeared without a trace.

"This..." Zhuo Qingfeng asked in surprise: "Did the descendants of King Mu find the descendant of the Ma family?"

"I don't know, but I suppose so," said Madam Wang. "Otherwise, why would the descendants of the Wood King make such a fuss with only these two tokens?"

Zhuo Qingfeng's face turned serious, and he said, "In that case, I must send this token to the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible. I can't stay here any longer, otherwise, the descendants of King Mu will definitely come again. We have no idea how many people they have now or how powerful the forces behind them are. The sooner this token is sent to the Governor's Mansion, the better!"

There was silence in the hall.

Zhuo Qingfeng suddenly turned to look at the three ghostwriters and asked, "Three heroes, could you please lend a hand and escort this token to Yunzhou City? However, I don't have much money, so I can only owe you a favor!"

"Lord Zhuo's favor is more valuable than money!" said the old man with white hair. "Lord Zhuo is incorruptible and upright, admired by everyone in the martial arts world. I, the old man with white hair, admire you and am willing to help you escort this token."

The scholar also said: "I am not a great hero, but I admire Master Zhuo. If nothing else, I can escort him for a while."

Everyone turned their attention to Gu Mo, but Gu Mo shook his head and refused, saying, "Master Zhuo, it's not that I don't want to help, but I simply can't. I'm blind and can't ride a horse, so I can only take a carriage. If I come along, not only will I be of no help, I'm afraid I'll delay your journey and cause a lot of trouble."

Zhuo Qingfeng suddenly realized and said, "I forgot. I was only thinking about Master Gu's great martial arts skills and forgot about the inconvenience Master Gu had. I am really sorry."

"That's alright," Gu Mo said. "I'm busy, so I can't help you. I can only wish you all a safe journey and a safe arrival!"
