Chapter 545 Dragon Robe

He could tell so much from just looking at leaves. It seemed like it would be impossible for him to reach his master's level in this lifetime. Jing Chunxi couldn't help but feel a little sad. She knew that her master's wisdom and ability were far beyond her reach. His insight into everything in the world and his profound thoughts seemed like an innate gift.

Fortunately, she still had Xiao Man, her clever and gifted junior apprentice. Jing Chunxi had already seen the great potential hidden in him, and perhaps Xiao Man would be able to reach the level of his master in the future.

At this moment, Jing Chunxi felt a sense of crisis. If she didn't recruit troops quickly, what if her third uncle transferred the master, Ah Qi, Chong San and others away one day? She really wouldn't be able to handle something as big as tonight, and she might even die in a foreign land.

She knew her current strength and resources were limited, and if she lost her master and these capable assistants, she would be in an extremely difficult situation. This sense of crisis filled her heart with anxiety and uneasiness, and she had to find a solution as soon as possible.

"I'll take Xi'er to a few farms someday to see if there's anyone suitable for you. If you find one you like, you can put him on Daqing Mountain for some training." As if he understood her inner thoughts, Jing Yi suddenly said this. Jing Yi's words were like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the haze in Jing Chunxi's heart. She raised her head, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Besides her mother and Xu Zize, there is now another person who can understand her heart. This is a cause for celebration. Jing Chunxi is secretly grateful to Jing Yi.

"Boss, let's go down and deal with the ones in the tree and the ones in the corner first." As Ah Qi's voice sounded, the two of them flew down in different directions, and Xiaoman and the other three below also took action.

Jing Yi and Jing Chunxi also reached the ground quickly.

"Go to the concierge first." Jing Yi reminded him. Jing Chunxi was slightly taken aback by Jing Yi's reminder.

"No, let's go into the study first." This was the decision Jing Chunxi made after she had thought about it for a long time on the rooftop. For some reason, she always felt that the person living in the gatehouse was not that simple, and could not be a simple deaf-mute. If Uncle Qi and the others couldn't handle it, they might not even be able to collect the things here. The thought of it made her a little scared.

If she rushed to the concierge, she might immediately fall into danger and be unable to escape to the study. She decided to start with the study first, taking steady steps and solving the problem step by step.

At the concierge's, if it doesn't work, just run away if you can't collect it. It's better to be cautious, eat the delicious food first and leave the most difficult things for later.

"Then hurry up."

Jing Yi had absolutely no objection to Jing Chunxi's decision. It wasn't entirely because of the prince's letter, but rather because he had truly witnessed Jing Chunxi's abilities. Furthermore, her dream was so real that Jing Yi even felt that if it hadn't been for the divine aunt, even if Jing Yi had brought dozens more guards, half would likely have been killed or wounded, and he wouldn't have achieved the results he had tonight. Furthermore, in her dream, she might have already died.

Jing Yi was convinced of Jing Chunxi's abilities, believing her decision might lead to unexpected solutions. He trusted her judgment and was willing to face the challenges ahead with her.

Entering the meeting room, she walked to the adjacent study. She saw two people inside, one likely a small leader, the other a servant. Jing Chunxi's gaze swept over them, and she could sense the faint aura emanating from them. Clearly, they had been charmed by Ah Qi and Chong San. She breathed a sigh of relief, at least the study was safe for the time being.

The inner room of the study was a lounge, and an old man, his hair almost completely white, had fainted on the bed. Jing Yi said, "This old man is guarding the entrance himself. He's really dedicated." This meant that he was definitely Tutor Peng.

Jing Yi's voice was gnashed with teeth, tinged with disdain and anger. He was clearly indignant at the old Taifu's behavior. Taifu Peng, as an important official of the court, had actually participated in the rebellion. This act of betrayal was intolerable to him.

Jing Chunxi spat on his bed. "You're so old, yet you still want to rebel? You really have no self-awareness." She couldn't understand why this old tutor would make such a foolish choice. At such an old age, he still wanted to rebel. Isn't this just courting death?

The entrance to the secret room was located somewhere inside the antique cabinet. Jing Yi touched a certain feature on the cabinet, triggering a mechanism. The entire wall slowly shifted to the right, and the cabinet followed suit. Jing Yi's movements were expertly executed, clearly a familiarity with this type of hidden passage.

This time, Jing Yi accompanied Jing Chunxi into the dark room without any prior notice. He held a tinder in each hand to illuminate the way for Jing Chunxi. The light from the tinder flickered in the dark room, illuminating the path ahead. Jing Yi's gesture warmed Jing Chunxi's heart; she knew her master was silently protecting her.

The darkroom consisted of three rooms, much larger than the one in the Prince's Mansion. It contained numerous valuable porcelains, rare ancient books, and paintings and calligraphy by renowned artists. Jing Chunxi's gaze swept over these precious objects, and she could sense the rich cultural atmosphere they exuded.

The porcelain glaze is crystal clear, the pages of rare ancient books have a faint yellow luster, and the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists are full of spirit and charm. The value of these items is simply immeasurable.

The gold and silver were all stored in boxes, not on shelves like in other secret rooms. Instead, the boxes were stacked high against the walls. It was obvious that anyone who could enter the secret room had valuables besides secrets. Jing Chunxi looked at the mountains of gold and silver treasures with a twinge of envy. He was also secretly thankful that his arrival had prevented the wealth from falling into the hands of treacherous officials and villains, preventing it from causing greater disaster for the people.

Jing Chunxi thought to herself: "I'm rich, I'm rich, money is coming from all directions, except the air." She even pretended to embrace the money before she started to clean up. As she walked through each room, all the things were taken away.

After checking in two rooms in a row, she was stunned when she entered the last room. On the redwood wall hung a dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed python.

The dragon robe was a symbol of the emperor, and the existence of this dragon robe meant that Taifu Peng's ambition had reached an extreme level. She sneered in her heart, thinking that this old Taifu was really ignorant of his own life and death, thinking that he was just dreaming of following the emperor's merits, but he actually wanted to usurp the throne.

Haha! It turns out that the Crown Prince isn't the only one who wants to be emperor.

She only looked at the dragon robe for a moment. She thought it was dirty, so she didn't take it. She thought she'd leave it to the dog emperor to see! Let's see what his son is like, and what his trusted ministers are like!

She disdainfully thought the dragon robe was an ominous object, tainted with too much evil and ambition.
