Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Yupan Mountain was abandoned for eighteen years, and the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples there fell into disrepair. Over time, weeds grew rampant on Yupan Mountain, and trees blocked out the sky.

The second prince sent people to search Jade Plate Mountain. After searching day and night for several days, one morning, a secret guard suddenly discovered something unusual.

"Your Highness, we've found it!"

Upon receiving the report from his secret guards, the Second Prince took Ying Hengzhi and rushed to the Jade Plate.

Duan Linglong, who was keeping a close eye on their movements, was once again heartbroken.

So many days have passed, Brother Ze has probably forgotten that she even exists. In his heart, there is only Ying Hengzhi.

She wondered in a daze if, without Ying Hengzhi, her brother Ze would remember her.

After the Second Prince and Ying Hengzhi arrived at Jade Plate Mountain, they walked toward the tree that the guards had been watching.

"Is this the tree?" the second prince asked anxiously as he stepped forward.

"Your Highness, there are trampled marks on the weeds around this tree, as if someone has walked by."

The secret guards reported.

The second prince's expression changed. "You mean, someone has already discovered Huang An's tomb?"

The second prince looked at Ying Hengzhi.

A dark glint flashed in Ying Hengzhi's eyes as she said, "Your Highness, even if someone did discover Huang An's tomb first, how can they compare to you?"

The second prince thought it made sense. Zhi'er had received a dream from the Golden Phoenix, and he was the future emperor. Who could compare to him?

He steadied himself, looked at the guard, and asked, "Have you found the entrance?"

The guard said, "It seems there's a trap; we're looking for it."

The second prince's eyes gleamed as he searched around under the big tree.

Finally, at a certain moment, one of the guards accidentally touched something, and a soft 'click' was heard, like the sound of gears turning.

Before they could even show their surprise, countless black arrows shot out from the ground around the tree.

"Oh no, this is a sneak attack!"

"Quickly protect our master!"

The guards deflected the hidden arrows and protected the second prince in the middle.

Just as the attack had finally passed, before everyone could catch their breath, a deafening roar suddenly rang out.

The roar sounded like the howl of a wild beast, but not quite; rather, it was eerie and sent chills down one's spine.

"Master, look!"

Suddenly, one of the guards pointed to a spot under the big tree.

Suddenly, a burly figure clad in black armor appeared. His face was covered by a black veil, and his entire body was devoid of any life, resembling a humanoid monster.

"Could these be puppet soldiers from the previous dynasty?"

The second prince murmured in horror. Just then, the puppet soldier threw a punch, hurtling towards them.

A group of guards protected the Second Prince and Ying Hengzhi as they retreated. As soon as they stepped back, the puppet soldier's fist slammed into a tree behind them.

The trunk of that large tree, which required two or three people to encircle, snapped with a crack and crashed to one side.

At this time, Ying Nanyao was on his way to Huangjue Temple in Xishan.

This time, he not only took Ying Chengzhou to see Master Xuanjing, but he also brought along two wild boars.

The Gu poison in Ying Chengting's body, as well as the love poison he was afflicted with, must be cured.

However, he had only gone halfway when the secret whistle on his body started to malfunction.

This secret sentry is what controls the puppet soldiers; if one of them makes a move, the other can sense it.

This was the first time in so many years that Ying Nanyao had sensed the secret sentry's unusual activity, and his expression changed instantly.

He looked at Ying Chengting, whose face was pale and weak, and whispered to him, "Something has happened at Jade Plate Mountain."

Ying Chengting immediately understood his implication, and his expression changed.

"Father, it's fine for me and Mother to go to Huangjue Temple. If you have other matters to attend to, you can come another day."

Ying Nanyao nodded, and also made an excuse to leave alone.

He went directly to Yupan Mountain.

Fortunately, Xishan was not far from Yupanshan, and he rode at full speed, arriving there in less than half an hour.

As soon as he got close, he heard the puppet soldiers' frantic roars.

He hid behind a large rock and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see a group of people dressed in black fighting with a puppet soldier.

A strong killing intent flashed in Ying Nanyao's eyes. Whoever discovered Huang An's tomb, since the puppet soldiers had been alerted, they could not expect to leave alive.

He took out his secret whistle and rhythmically blew it to his lips.

At this moment, Ying Hengzhi, who was desperately trying to escape with the Second Prince, suddenly heard the system's voice in her mind.

[Host, this is bad! Ying Nanyao is nearby. He blew a secret whistle, and judging from the rhythm of three short whistles followed by one long one, he is summoning more puppet soldiers to appear.]

Host, if more puppet soldiers appear, everyone will perish here today, including you and the Second Prince.

【Myna bird, what should we do?】

Ying Hengzhi said urgently.

I don't know either. If you go to Ying Nanyao's side at this time, you'll have to confront him head-on.

surface.

But I think if you confront him directly and bring up the story of Jin Feng's dream, you might be able to save your life.

[Huang An's tomb is his biggest trump card. Do you think he'll choose me or Huang An's tomb?]

[Host, given Ying Nanyao's affection for you, he will definitely choose you and the merit of supporting the emperor.]

Okay, myna, I believe you!

After communicating with the system, Ying Hengzhi quickly said to the Second Prince, "Your Highness, there's a whistle over there. I think there are people there. These puppet soldiers might be controlled by that person in the shadows. If we go to that person's side, we might be able to save our lives."

"Walk!"

The second prince was also at his wit's end. These puppet soldiers were too ferocious, impervious to swords and spears, and possessed immense strength. They simply could not withstand them.

This is just one.

If a group of them were to emerge, they would surely die.

They continued to approach Ying Nanyao's direction. After Ying Nanyao blew the secret whistle, he summoned more puppet soldiers. When he turned around, a group of ragged, disheveled, and wounded people appeared behind him.

The two leaders surprised Ying Nanyao greatly.

"Zhi'er? Your Highness, Second Prince!"

"Father?"

Ying Hengzhi called out in surprise.

The second prince also asked, "Uncle Ying?"

"Zhi'er, why are you here?" Ying Nanyao asked sharply.

He wondered if Liu Xueyan had secretly told Zhi'er about the treasure hidden here.

He didn't intend to deliberately hide it from Ying Hengzhi, but why was the Second Prince here as well?

The Second Prince said in a deep voice, "Lord Ying, I must also ask you, why are you here?"

Ying Nanyao remained silent.

Ying Hengzhi's eyes darted around, and she said, "Father, could you possibly control those puppet soldiers?"

Father, yesterday your daughter received a dream from a golden phoenix, which guided her to go to Jade Plate Mountain to search for treasure.

"Father, you are here. Did you know this place all along? Is this fate?"

Ying Nanyao's face was extremely ugly, but he still had to accept the fact that he could no longer enjoy Huang An's tomb alone.

Ying Nanyao chose to cooperate with them rather than kill them all to silence them.

Ying Hengzhi said, "Father, Jin Feng appeared in a dream and said that His Highness the Second Prince is the future true emperor, so he guided us here."

"Since you are here, isn't this a perfect omen that you will have the merit of supporting the emperor?"

Ying Nanyao slowly raised his hands, clasped his hands in a fist salute, looked directly at the Second Prince, and said, "Your Highness, I will immediately silence the puppet soldiers."

The second prince finally smiled, "Good! Uncle Ying, when the Japanese prince ascends to that position, you will be..."

"Oh, Your Majesty, there's someone over there."

A voice that shouldn't have been there suddenly rang out.

Ying Nanyao, the Second Prince, and Ying Hengzhi were all taken aback.

They looked up sharply in the direction of the sound and saw a large army of a thousand soldiers marching towards them.

Leading the group were Emperor Cangxuan, the Crown Prince, and Ying Yufu.
