Chapter 201 Treasure Map

Liang Jin looked towards Cangdu.

Cangdu, however, was roasting himself by the fire without saying a word.

Aina smiled and said:
"Whether you're looking for treasure or not, we're determined to get that treasure!"

Liang Jin then asked Ayi Na:

"What treasure?"

Aina laughed out loud:
"You Daqian people, are you so secretive about your own people?"

"Who goes to Quicksand City nowadays but for the treasure?"

“You’ll know when you go there.”

As Aina spoke, she took the whole piece of barbecue off the campfire and threw it to the three strong men behind her.

The three strong men immediately tore the barbecue into three pieces.

The surface of the meat was cooked, but the inside was still half-cooked with blood.

The three strong men didn't care and started to tear into the barbecue they were given.

After a short while, Aina and her group had eaten and drunk their fill.

"gone."

She clapped her hands, mounted her horses and galloped away with three strong men.

Their figures quickly disappeared into the night.

Liang Jin then asked Cangdu:
"Master Cang, you are not honest enough."

Cangdu raised his head and looked at Liang Jin.

The firelight reflected his face, and he spoke:

"What was stolen from the palace was the Western Desert Military Deployment Map."

The first thing Cangdu said was not the treasure, but the theft in the palace.

Liang Jin was surprised when he heard this:
"Western Desert Military Deployment Map?"

"The Daqian army has already withdrawn from the Western Desert. Is this thing still useful?"

Cangdu replied:

"Of course it's useless."

"That's why we neglected to supervise it and let the thief take advantage of it."

Liang Jin was puzzled.

Since it is a useless thing, why would anyone risk their life to steal it from the palace?
Even the detectives from the police station sent a group like Cangdu to investigate?

Cangdu continued to explain:

"The Western Desert Military Deployment Map is indeed useless, but it contains special information and maps."

"If you think of it as a treasure map, that's fine too..."

original.

When Daqian made the decision to withdraw from the Western Desert, it also decided to take away all the wealth that the government had plundered in the Western Desert over the years and transport it back to Daqian, so as not to leave it to enemies who might occupy the Western Desert in the future.

The amount of this wealth is staggering.

To be on the safe side, the army was responsible for escorting the wealth back.

However, the surrounding enemy countries did not want to see Daqian evacuate so smoothly, so they all sent troops to snipe and harass, which caused heavy losses to the Daqian army.

The wealth was too much and too heavy, and the special geography of the Western Desert made transportation difficult.

The army responsible for transporting the wealth had its march severely slowed down and was on the verge of being surrounded by the enemy.

The military generals acted decisively and buried the wealth nearby, waiting for an opportunity to dig it out later.

The army then went into battle lightly and broke out.

The location of the buried wealth and related information were finally compiled into the Western Desert Military Department's defense map.

Unfortunately, Daqian never had the opportunity to go deeper into the Western Desert, and this wealth was buried in the desert.

I don’t know if the army that buried the treasure had lost their balance because they had handled so much wealth, but they actually mutinied after returning to Daqian.

In the end, the Daqian army suppressed the rebellion with great force and wiped out the entire army.

The secret of that wealth is only recorded in detail in the Western Desert Military Deployment Map.

Liang Jin felt strange after hearing this:
"Someone stole the Western Desert Military Deployment Map in order to obtain a large amount of wealth from the treasure map inside?"

"But shouldn't treasure hunting be done in secret?"

"Why do the people from Shali who just passed by seem to know about the treasure?"

Cangdu said:

"It's really strange."

"Now the news of the treasure is spreading like wildfire throughout the Western Desert."

"I'm afraid that various forces and people have already gathered in Liusha City at this time."

Liang Jin asked again:

"So, are we going here for the treasure?"

Cangdu laughed out loud:

"To have so much treasure would have required a large army to transport it. How could we possibly carry it away with just a few of us?"

"We're going there to investigate the reasons behind this and bring back the Western Desert Military Deployment Map."

"Okay, it's late at night. Young Master Meng can rest for a while. My people will be on duty."

"We'll continue on our journey tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Cangdu stood up and went into the tent.

Liang Jin looked at Cangdu's back with a flickering look in his eyes.

This Cangdu is only willing to reveal some information when he finds a problem.

If everything goes well, I'm afraid he won't want to say anything.

Liang Jin really doesn't like dealing with these spies.

But since the other party is hiding something and is unwilling to be honest.

Then Liang Jin would naturally consider himself first.

Afterwards, Liang Jin also went into the tent to sleep.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day, before the sun rose, the group had already set out on their journey.

When everyone walked until noon, a hint of green appeared in the distance.

It was an oasis in the desert.

As they got closer, they saw a towering city standing in the oasis.

Liusha City is a big city in the Western Desert. It was once the capital of a small country in the Western Desert.

As the crowd approached the Quicksand City, they could see many people nearby also heading towards it.

Just near Liang Jin and his group, you can see a group of people traveling with them.

They were a group of monks with a group of slaves.

This group of monks have a strong aura and ferocious looks. It is not difficult to tell that they are members of the Wuliang Mingwang Sect.

Those slaves were dressed in rags, had unkempt hair and dirty faces, and looked pale and thin, looking even worse than beggars.

The slaves were chained by the neck and walked in groups, each carrying heavy loads.

The monks would whip the slaves from time to time and curse loudly.

Some slaves fell in the desert and never got up again, and within a few days they would turn into mummies.

Monks and slaves, these two things don't seem to go together.

But in the Western Desert, these are not surprising.

There once was a country called the Ancient Elephant Kingdom that dominated the Western Desert. The Ancient Elephant Kingdom was a slave state where great nobles and monks could own a large number of slaves.

At that time, the Amitābha Vidyaraja Sect was the state religion of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom.

After that, the Ancient Elephant Kingdom was destroyed, and the Wuliang Mingwang Sect continued the slavery tradition of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom.

So although the Avalokitesvara sect is Buddhist, it also likes to keep slaves.

Liu Yuan said at the beginning that the male elephant was not that bad.

Liang Jin didn't agree at first.

But it was not until today when he saw how these monks from the Wuliang Mingwang Sect treated slaves that he finally felt that what Liu Yuan said made some sense.

But now the order in the Western Desert has collapsed and human trafficking is serious.

This led to the existence of slavery in many places.

It is said that this Quicksand City was once popular for slave trade.

It was already evening when Liang Jin and his group entered Liusha City.

As soon as you enter the city, you will see a striking platform.

A row of slaves stood on the platform.

The slave owner on the side was shouting loudly:
"Do not miss passing through!"

"Come and take a look! We just captured these slaves. They're still fresh!"

"Good teeth, good health, both men and women!"

“Affordable price, no cheating.”

"If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever."

"My dear guests, come and see my slaves. They are definitely the best in the city!"

The slaves on the platform were brought up in batches and then taken down in batches.

These slaves included men, women, young and old.

Some pretty female slaves or strong male slaves would be deliberately dressed up to make them look more attractive.

The ordinary slaves, on the other hand, looked much more miserable.

Not only was he covered in wounds, but he also looked as dirty and thin as a slave of the Wuliang Mingwang Sect.

This high platform at the entrance to the city has an excellent geographical location and a very large flow of people.

A large group of people had gathered under the platform.

Among the crowd of onlookers, some were obviously regular customers. They skillfully selected the slaves they liked and left.

There were also some people who seemed to be experiencing the slave trade for the first time, and their eyes were eager to try it.

Liang Jincangdu and others just took a look and turned away.

They also had to find an inn to spend the night.

I have to say that this Liusha City is indeed prosperous.

Along the way, both the population and buildings are much stronger than Dingfeng City.

But this prosperity is partly due to geographical reasons. The oasis in the desert is a gift from God.

Besides that, it was obvious that a large part of it was based on sucking the blood of these slaves.

At this time.

Suddenly I heard a hawker shouting:
"Treasure maps for sale! Ten taels of silver each!"

"If you buy it, you'll make money. If you dig up the treasure, the return will be ten thousand times greater!"

"Come and take a look! Freshly baked treasure map!"

Most warriors don't take the treasure maps sold on the street seriously.

But there are also people who are willing to spend money to buy it.

As Liang Jin and his group walked along, they encountered several stalls selling treasure maps.

A man finally bought one and handed it to Cangdu.

Cangdu opened the treasure map and Liang Jin also took a look at it.

"Is the treasure really in Zangfeng Valley?"

Liang Jin asked.

The treasure map shows that the treasure is buried in the Cangfeng Valley.

Cangdu nodded:
"It's in the Hidden Wind Valley."

Liang Jin couldn't help but be surprised.

This treasure map sold on the street is actually real!

He originally didn't take these treasure maps seriously. After all, who would take out real treasure maps and sell them on the street?

But the result was beyond expectations.

What exactly is the intention behind the sale of these treasure maps?
