She laid herself down and muttered to herself, "I hope this little girl is still as good as before. Alas, hurry up and coax her away, I have to go on to guard the tomb of the Prince."

In early September, the town came a middle-aged man surnamed Qi, he cashed in on the town's inn, refurbished it, and became the owner from then on.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, this evening, there are seven or eight people riding horses in the town, among them, there are men and women, old and young, who all look like martial artists. There is no second inn in the town, these Jianghu people naturally came to Qi's store.

Seeing that there is a big business, Mr. Qi was so happy that he smiled. He warmly greeted these people to sit down and asked them what they wanted. The young man in the lead didn't say anything, but a henchman-like man ordered in a high-handed manner, "Prepare a good table of wine and food and pick up the guest room well, we will stay here tonight."

"Okay. Please take a seat, the food and wine will be ready soon." Qi answered excitedly and went down to prepare. An hour later, these Jianghu people had enough to eat and drink and came to the guest room in the back to rest, and Qi told the staff to pack up and close, then also returned to his room.

After entering the room, Qi immediately inserted the door. He put his eyes on the door to take a closer look, to make sure no one followed and did not light a lamp, straight to the bed in the dark, lifting the bed, which reveals a row of copper pipes. Qi's boss carefully put his ear to one of the copper tubes, the copper tubes immediately came the voice of the leading young man: "Yuan Xing, are you sure that Ouyang Lin's tomb is outside the town on Qishun Mountain?"

Another shrill voice said, "Don't worry, Mr. Hua, this information is reliable."

The young man said, "Good if we can find the treasure and the secret book, I will not treat you badly." The thin voice flattered a few more times and the two laughed.

Just then, Qi's face changed so much that he quickly put down the bedpan and went under the covers at once. Soon, his room door was knocked lightly three times, and a clear female voice said outside the door, "Boss, get up, I want to see you for something."

Boss Qi sighed, then got out of bed and lit the oil lamp, and pulled the door open. Outside the door was the only woman in the group of Jianghu people, she did not say anything when she saw Qi, a flash crossed into the room, back to the door and inserted the door, and then unapologetically sat on Qi's bed.

He said calmly, "Miss Murong, I didn't expect you to follow them here." At this time, Master Qi's voice also changed to a soft female voice.

Miss Murong froze and immediately returned to normal: "I can't believe you saw it. But think about it, Ouyang Lin, the first of the four princes of martial arts, is most skilled in the art of disguise, as his servant girl, Chun Lan, naturally can see through this little trick of mine."

Makeup into Qi palm shop Chun Lan hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth to advise: "Miss Murong, the gongzi and his wife have passed away more than a year ago, you should forget about him and live your life properly, this is also the gongzi's wish before he died ......"

"Shut up!" Miss Murong became agitated as she reprimanded Chun Lan in a low voice, "The person Lin relied on most during his life was you, yet after his death, you didn't dare to avenge him and would only be here cowardly guarding his grave. It's okay, I'll take revenge for Lin. I'm telling you, I've already planned how to act, so don't come out and get in the way when you do." After saying that, she opened the door of her room and left without looking back.

Back in her room, Miss Murong could not sleep. She recalled that when Ouyang Lin led the other three grandsons across the jianghu, she could only secretly like him, and Brother Lin also knew her heart, but he only treated her as his sister. Later, when Lin and his wife died inexplicably, she finally found a clue after half a year of investigation: Lin's death was probably related to the second son, Hua Baixun. Later, she disguised herself to approach Hua Baixun and joined the team, ready to kill him at the right time to avenge Lin's death.

The next day, Hua Baixuan and his group hurriedly ate breakfast, settled the bill, and went straight to Qishun Mountain. After watching them go far away, Chun Lan also followed them out of the town and then took another path up the mountain.

Hua Baixun led the crowd to the top of the mountain, there is a flat land at the top of the mountain, the center of the flat land is an earthen tomb, and the tombstone in front of the grave is engraved with "Ouyang Lin's tomb" five big words. Hua Baixun waved his hand, and the crowd picked up the pickaxe prepared long ago to plow open the tomb, revealing the coffin of nan wood inside.
