After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 116 Night Raid on the Treasure Pavilion

The old man, with his long life and profound knowledge, darted around with his eyes, looking as if he knew something.

"Then bring the person over here, I'll know once I see him."

“I know his master. He’s said to be known in the martial arts world as the White Cloud Hero. I think he was the White Cloud Hero’s apprentice. Let me take a look at this man.”

Upon hearing this, the gang leader turned pale. "If we really capture the Tenth Prince, won't we be in big trouble?"

However, his younger brother, Bai Laoda, didn't think so. He seemed quite excited, "Brother, if we capture the Tenth Prince, wouldn't we have mountains of gold and silver?"

Boss Bai's eyes lit up. "Why don't we take this opportunity to extort some money from the old prince? Wouldn't that be much faster than robbing people outside?"

The black-clad boss glared at the white-clad boss, bristling with anger, "What are you thinking? Are you tired of living? You're still thinking of extorting the prince? I think you've got your head on your shoulders!"

"If he goes back and tells his father, the old prince, how can we possibly keep this mountain?"

Unexpectedly, Boss Bai said ruthlessly, "Do you think I'd let him go back alive? Since he's come to our Black Wind Stronghold, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Musheng realized that this person was indeed ruthless.

Although this was a matter that would implicate nine generations of one's family, it meant nothing to these desperate criminals who had already risked their lives.

The gang leader thought for a moment and ordered the henchman to bring the Tenth Prince over, mainly to let the monk see if this person was indeed the Tenth Prince.

The foreman accepted the order and led his men to escort the people down to their deaths.

Of course, Qian Musheng couldn't just shout and rush into the hall where the spoils were divided to fight these thieves to the death.

He knew that the people here were not to be trifled with; there were over a hundred of them, and besides, there was also a Buddhist monk with a green lamp inside.

These people all knew some martial arts, but Qian Musheng didn't have that much skill to fight against more than a hundred people in front of him by himself.

Moreover, he was with Su Xiaoxiao, who didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't act rashly at all.

Qian Musheng came down from the roof, said a few words to Su Xiaoxiao, and told her to follow behind him.

The leader was probably heading towards the treasure pavilion, with Qian Musheng and Su Xiaoxiao following closely behind them.

The distance was also kept very cleverly, neither too close nor too far.

Their tracking ability is quite strong now, and they haven't been discovered by the lower-level leaders.

We passed through several small artificial hills and then went around several long corridors.

Sure enough, a small building appeared ahead, with some henchmen guarding the entrance. The men exchanged a secret signal.

As the name suggests, the Treasure Pavilion is a place to hide treasures. It is actually more heavily guarded here. However, on the way, Qian Musheng originally wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of that small leader.

However, realizing the time was not right, he did not take action.

It wasn't until Qian Musheng saw the minor leader enter the treasure pavilion that he realized he would miss his chance if he didn't act now.

He told Su Xiaoxiao to hide behind a tree nearby, tightened his night clothes, and strode towards the treasure pavilion.

The guards at the gate had just escorted the underling into the treasure vault when someone else came over.

However, this person was dressed in black and had a veil covering their face, so it was clear they weren't one of their people. The guard stopped Qian Musheng directly and asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? Do you know the code?"

Qian Musheng narrowed his eyes, came over without saying a word, and grinned at the two men. Without saying anything more, the two guards fell to either side and then lost consciousness.

Su Xiaoxiao was also stunned, wondering how the two of them had ended up on the ground. She hadn't even blinked and hadn't seen Qian Musheng make any move.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but admire Qian Musheng, thinking to herself that this person was truly capable.

After Qian Musheng knocked down the guards at the entrance, he walked into the treasure pavilion without saying a word. He first threw a stone to test the way, afraid that the seemingly smooth ground might actually be hiding some traps underneath.

The first floor is lined with large shelves displaying antiques, giving it a very luxurious feel.

If you go any further in, there's a wall, and there's nowhere to go.

However, Qian Musheng was not in a hurry, as he knew there must be a secret room here.

He calmly searched the area, and when he saw the antiques on the shelf, he began looking for a breakthrough.

Many of the celadon vases were fixed on the shelf. Qian Musheng turned each of the vases around and discovered that one of them was stuck to the shelf and looked very firmly attached.

Qian Musheng knew the situation when it seemed impossible to turn it.

Qian Musheng then realized that this place was probably not simple.

So he quickly turned the antique vase around, moving it from its original position.

This time, Qian Musheng saw that, sure enough, with a "click," the shelf was turned open, revealing a tunnel behind it.

The tunnel was quite deep, so Qian Musheng quickly took out a tinderbox and went into the tunnel, where he smelled a strong stench of blood and mold.

For some reason, Qian Musheng had a feeling that something bad was about to happen to the Tenth Prince.

He quickly stepped forward and soon saw a glimmer of light ahead. At that moment, Qian Musheng heard someone calling out to him from ahead, "Who are you?"

It turned out that the small leader who had just come in was carrying someone out, but unexpectedly, he ran into Qian Musheng.

They were also taken aback. "How did you get in? Who are you?"

Qian Musheng's night-clothes attire clearly indicated he was no good person, but since they were also involved in the underworld, they weren't too afraid, as this was Cuiwei Mountain Black Wind Village, their territory.

There are over ten thousand people on the mountain; why would they be afraid of this thief dressed in night? Besides, they're thieves themselves, so they're not really scared. There's only one person on the other side; it'll be easy to deal with him. "Who are you?"

"I'm the one who's sending you to meet the King of Hell."

Without saying a word, Qian Musheng stepped forward and slapped the leader across the face, knocking him to the ground.

Then, he knocked down some of the other henchmen who tried to rush up.

To avoid making a loud noise, Qian Musheng practically slapped them all across the face, knocking them unconscious.

After they fell to the ground and lay motionless, Qian Musheng finally took a closer look at the prison cell. Inside were people with their heads covered by black cloths. They looked to be in bad shape and had probably been captured.

Qian Musheng spotted the Tenth Prince by his clothes; he looked rather pitiful.
