Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 291 Entering Hunan, Nanxin

half a month later.

Nan Xin.

It was the season of lush grass and flying birds in the second month of spring.

At this time, Guan Shaoqing also arrived at Mao Xiaoling's place with his wife Yu Ji and son Guan Yang. When the family of three arrived at the door, Mao Xiaoling was already at home.

"Shaoqing! Yuji!"

Upon seeing Guan Shaoqing and Yu Ji arrive unexpectedly, Mao Xiaoling couldn't help but show a look of surprise and delight.

"master!"

Yu Ji also cried out excitedly.

"Master Mao, Yu Ji and I have come to see you."

Guan Shaoqing also smiled and said.

"Good! Good! Good!—"

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaoling happily exclaimed "Good!" three times, then noticed the child Yu Ji was holding.

"This is?"

“Master, this is my husband’s and my child, named Guan Yang, who is exactly two months old.”

Yu Ji immediately explained.

"Great, great, it's good to have a child."

Mao Xiaoling was overjoyed upon hearing this, and her heart was completely at ease with Yu Ji. As long as Yu Ji and Guan Shaoqing had a child, then there would be no need for her master to worry anymore.

"Let me see it quickly."

Then Mao Xiaoling happily came up and took the little guy into her arms.

Guan Shaoqing and Yu Ji followed Mao Xiaoling into the courtyard and quickly carried the gifts they had bought into the house.

"Why did you buy so much stuff when you came all this way, especially with a child in your family?"

Seeing that the two had brought quite a few gifts, Mao Xiaoling couldn't help but speak up.

"Since this is my first time visiting Master Mao, I can't come empty-handed, can I? Besides, it's nothing too valuable, just a little something from Yu Ji and me. Please don't refuse, Master Mao."

Guan Shaoqing said with a smile.

"Remember not to do this again next time you come."

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaoling had no choice but to reply.

Guan Shaoqing responded with a smile, and then spoke again.

"By the way, Master Mao, besides bringing Yu Ji and the child to see you, I also have something else to take care of. So I'd like Yu Ji and the child to stay with you for a while. I'd appreciate it if you could take good care of them."

"What trouble or not? I'm overjoyed that Yu Ji and the child are staying with me. Shaoqing, you can go and handle your business with peace of mind. Yu Ji and the child can stay with me without worry, I will take good care of them."

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaoling rebuked him with slight displeasure.

"I was being too polite, Master Mao, please don't take offense."

Guan Shaoqing quickly apologized and then asked for advice.

"By the way, Master Mao, I wonder what the specific situation of the forces in Nanxin and Xiangyin is? Could you tell me? To be honest, Master Mao, another reason I came here is for a treasure map."

"Treasure Map?"

"Yes, it is said that this treasure map records the treasure of the Ming Dynasty. Legend has it that the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty foresaw the demise of the Ming Dynasty and, in order to give his descendants a chance to rise again, ordered a treasure to be buried in advance to help them rise again."

"This treasure map fell into my hands by chance, and after being deciphered by several of my grandmasters from the Maoshan sect, the location of the treasure recorded on the map is in Hunan."

Guan Shaoqing immediately told Mao Xiaoling about the Ming Dynasty treasure. He wasn't worried about whether Mao Xiaoling would have any ideas after learning the news, since he had no need to worry about such things with his current strength.

Moreover, Guan Shaoqing believed that Mao Xiaoling could not possibly be that kind of person.

As expected, after hearing Guan Shaoqing's explanation, Mao Xiaoling didn't show any interest in the treasure. Instead, she asked curiously.

"The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so poor, how could he possibly have the money to bury treasure?"

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

In fact, Guan Shaoqing also had some doubts about this, after all, according to historical records, Emperor Chongzhen was so poor that he was urinating blood.

But now we have a treasure map from the Ming Dynasty in our hands, and we know the location of the treasure.

Regardless of the outcome, I will definitely go and see.

Then Mao Xiaoling began to tell Guan Shaoqing about the power situation in Nanxin and Xiangyin. Mao Xiaoling had lived in Nanxin for decades, so she was naturally clear about the power situation there. In fact, the Mao family, to which Mao Xiaoling belonged, was one of the most powerful forces in Nanxin and even in the entire Hunan region.

"The most powerful force in Nanxin is my Mao family, while in Xiangyin, there are currently two major forces: one is the warlord Luo Laowai, known as Commander Luo, and the other is the Xieling bandits, who claim to have 100,000 men, led by Chen Yulou."

Luo Laowai?

Chen Yulou!
Guan Shaoqing was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

Has the Ghost Blows Out the Light series been incorporated into this?!
"Luo Laowai is a warlord who has recently risen to power in Hunan. It is said that he came from a poor family and is ruthless like a bandit. He has about 10,000 soldiers under his command."

"Chen Yulou was born into the prominent Chen family of Xiangyin. It is said that he was generous and righteous, capable and skilled. Moreover, he was born with a pair of eyes that could identify treasures in the world. He enjoyed a high reputation among the bandits in Hunan. In the Xiangyin bandits, he was a man of great influence and had many followers. He was also the contemporary leader of the Xieling bandits."

"Legend has it that there are four long-established schools of tomb raiding: Mojin, Faqiu, Banshang, and Xieling."

"The Xieling bandits led by Chen Yulou are the Xieling faction, one of the four major tomb raiding schools."

"."

Mao Xiaoling continued explaining to Guan Shaoqing.

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing was completely certain that the Ghost Blows Out the Light world had indeed been incorporated into the story, and he couldn't help but feel a bit interested.

Do not misunderstand.

Guan Shaoqing wasn't very interested in tomb raiding.

However, he was very interested in the demons and monsters that appeared in the tombs of Ghost Blows Out the Light.

According to the original novel, the story of "The Wrath of Xiangxi" with Chen Yulou as the protagonist features many demons and ghosts, including big bosses such as the six-winged flying centipede and the Xiangxi Corpse King.

"Moreover, as far as I know, Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai have recently gotten together and seem to be plotting something."

Finally, Mao Xiaoling told Guan Shaoqing.

"Thank you for informing me, Master Mao."

Guan Shaoqing expressed his gratitude upon hearing this, and at the same time knew in his heart that if the original plot had not changed, then Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai should be preparing to rob the Pingshan Tomb at this moment.

If that's the case, then Guan Shaoqing would also like to join in the fun.

Because Guan Shaoqing was interested in the evil spirits and monsters of Ping Mountain.

These are all merit points.
-
"Master Mao, I'll leave Yu Ji and Yang'er to your care from now on."

The next day.

After staying at Mao Xiaoling's place for one night, Guan Shaoqing took his leave.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Yu Ji and the child. You can go and attend to your business with peace of mind, Shao Qing."

Mao Xiaoling also responded.

"Don't worry, my husband. Yang'er and I will be waiting for you to come back with Master."

Yu Ji also said.

"Alright, I'll be going now. I'll come back to pick you and Yang'er up after I've finished dealing with things. It's been over a year since you last saw Master Mao, so you should stay with him for a while."

And so, Yu Ji and her son Guan Yang were left with Mao Xiaoling.

Guan Shaoqing then left as well.

Two days later.

In the southern part of the new city.

"Greetings, Young Marshal!"

Yan Zhendong led several elite Jingwu Guards under his command to Guan Shaoqing and bowed in greeting.

"No need to be polite. Master Yan, you can take the Jingwu Guards to the location on the treasure map and search for it. If you find it, you can come to Xiangyin to find me."

"I'll go to Xiangyin first."

Guan Shaoqing looked at Yan Zhendong and gave him instructions.

"Yes, young marshal, rest assured, I guarantee to complete the mission."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhendong immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

After meeting with Yan Zhendong, they arranged for Yan Zhendong to lead a group to find the exact location of the treasure.

Guan Shaoqing also went to Xiangyin alone.
