Chapter 24 Intercepting the Spoils, Reinforcements Arrive

"990707".

With another click, the stone door in front of Xiao Xuan slowly opened.

"It seems Deng Fei usually uses this password for the doors he passes by. Is it his birthday? Or Li Peipei's birthday?"

There was also a groove for placing jade pendants next to this stone gate, but Xiao Xuan looked closely and found that it was not the shape of the Heavenly Secret Token.

Xiao Xuan leaped over the stone gate, and then the stone gate returned to its original position.

As soon as the cave entrance opened, Xiao Xuan smelled the fragrance of flowers and plants.

Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Xuan immediately understood.

Judging from Deng Fei's various sycophantic behaviors, the jade pendant should probably be in Li Peipei's hands, and those grooves are shortcuts for her to pass the level.

Everything was as Wei Ziheng had said; everything Deng Fei had prepared was a surprise for Li Peipei.

The stone cave was surrounded by flowers, and despite being abandoned for many years, it looked as if it had been carefully pruned.

Xiao Xuan was all too familiar with the place surrounded by flowers.

Neatly arranged desks, a spacious and grand podium, and a blackboard standing behind the podium.

This is clearly a modern classroom setting, with even the details meticulously depicted.

The blackboard still displays Deng Fei's signature love quotes.

"You want to dance under the moon, you love jade, and you say that being a good teacher is your lifelong dream, and I am willing to give up everything to continue pursuing it."

"Uh... even licking like this doesn't work, Li Peipei must be a pro."

Xiao Xuan couldn't bear to look at it. As he looked down, his eyes swept across the podium and he noticed that there were two other things on it.

It was a gunblade that Xiao Xuan had only seen in games, which was a combination of a pistol and a blade, but now it was incomplete and barely recognizable.

Judging from the damaged parts, it was crushed directly by strong finger force.

"Could it be the founding emperor?"

Deng Feixin once said that Emperor Taizu Zhou Renjie had reached the highest level of martial arts, the state of oneness with heaven and man, and that pistols were no longer effective against him.

"The times haven't changed after all."

Beside the broken spear blade was another token, larger and heavier than the Heavenly Secret Token.

The token is engraved with the three characters "Thunderbolt Hall," and it is estimated that, like the Heavenly Secret Token, it is a very important token.

"Regardless of whether it's still effective after all this time, we absolutely cannot let Lei Long or the Japanese pirates get their hands on it!"

Xiao Xuan thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had come first and intercepted the weapons; otherwise, if these forces had acquired firearms, the society of Ningguo, which had just stabilized, would have been thrown into turmoil again.

Xiao Xuan opened the iron box again, took out the parchment he couldn't understand, and exchanged it for the Thunderbolt Hall's token.

"That should be about right."

Xiao Xuan observed his surroundings and, finding nothing else unusual, decided to turn back and hide the iron box. If he could wait for the McDonald's staff to arrive, that would be the best outcome.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a faint shout.

"No!"

The voice was very familiar; it sounded like Wei Ziheng's voice.

Xiao Xuan's eyes were sharp as he looked at the stone gate ten steps away. Behind the stone gate was the jade statue cave, where Wei Ziheng should be solving the mystery.

"Has something happened?"

Xiao Xuan put down the iron box, immediately moved closer, pressed his ear to the stone door, and listened intently.

"Don't blow up the mountain! I'm about to crack the mechanism!"

"I can't wait!"

The shout came from Lei Long, and Xiao Xuan was startled upon hearing it.

Blowing up the mountain? Does Thunder Dragon have explosives?

"That's right! He certainly can't guarantee that he can crack the mechanism with his own brain; he must have a backup plan. So why is he in such a hurry?"

Xiao Xuan continued to listen intently; the sound from Lei Long next door did not stop.

"Other ships are approaching the island, flying Qi Jiang's military flag!"

General Qi Jiang is the naval commander of Ningguo, and he is in charge of dealing with pirate raids and Japanese pirate invasions.

It is because of him that the coastal areas of Ningguo enjoy peace and tranquility.

Now that his warships have arrived, they must be reinforcements sent by McDonald's.

"That's great, the Japanese pirates and the Thunder Dragon are doomed."

Xiao Xuan was about to smile, but the smile vanished instantly.

Since Lei Long is prepared to perish together with everyone else, he probably doesn't mind cleaning up the mess as well.

If the poison is activated, you will still be in danger.

Moreover, if Mai Shuangji dies, no one can prove his good character; a few villagers alone certainly won't be enough.

"No! We have to go back; even hiding in the cave will result in us being hit by the bombs."

Xiao Xuan made a quick decision, immediately picked up the iron box, and returned to the cave where Wen Qingqing was.

At this time, Wen Qingqing and Shiwa were still in the cave with the other children.

However, after half a day of rest, Shiwa's complexion improved.

"Master Xiao!"

Seeing Xiao Xuan return, Wen Qingqing jumped over with a look of surprise and then curiously examined the iron box behind him.

"Did you find something?"

"This is not the time to talk about this. That guy named Lei Long is going to blow up the mountain with bombs. It's not safe for you here."

"Fried eggs? What are those?"

Wen Qingqing had been isolated from the world since childhood and did not know what a bomb was.

Fortunately, Shiwa had been to the Central Plains several times and understood Xiao Xuan's meaning, so he immediately forced himself to stand up.

"Master Xiao, you're talking about explosives and gunpowder, right?"

"Yes! It will definitely affect this area in the future."

Shiwa looked both angry and helpless, and quickly woke up all the sleeping children.

"Qing, let's get out of here quickly. If there really are explosives, this mountain will collapse."

"What? What is that bastard going to do?"

Xiao Xuan didn't have time to explain to them. He tossed the iron box to Wen Qingqing and then said:

"I need to stop them, please keep this safe for me."

"Ouch."

Wen Qingqing took the iron box, staggered slightly from the weight, and then said with shining eyes:

"Don't worry! Trust me!"

Xiao Xuan nodded. Of course he believed her. He had already burned those Sudoku puzzles, and now he was the only one in the world who knew the password to the iron box.

"That's troublesome."

After giving a few instructions, Xiao Xuan immediately set off back to the valley, not daring to stop for a moment.

A few minutes later, he returned to the stone statue.

He then leaped into the passage and hurriedly ran into the stone cave, whereupon several pairs of eyes looked in.

Apart from him, the other seven people were already inside the cave, and there were also many wooden barrels around the cave.

Lei Long smiled slightly upon seeing Xiao Xuan, and said in a chilling tone:

"Brother Xiao, why are you in such a hurry?"

"A ship is coming!" Xiao Xuan gasped for breath. "It's a ship from the Qi family army!"

"We already know." Wang Hong raised an eyebrow, glancing sideways at Xiao Xuan. "You didn't lure them here, did you?"

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Xiao Xuan shook his head.

"I told you not to make unnecessary suspicions. I spent yesterday working with Senior Wei to solve the mechanisms. How can I report back?"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xuan's gaze locked onto Riko Furukawa.

"As for Brother Gu, the three of us explored the island that night, and on our way back we ran into Brother Zhang. We both saw you acting suspiciously. Could it be that you betrayed Chief Lei?"

"That's true, but I won't doubt others because of it. I'll listen to the chieftain."

Mai Shuangji was quite cunning; he directly sided with Lei Long, leaving the other side puzzled.

"Brother Gu, I know you inside and out. Brother Xiao has Island Master Wei as his guarantor. If you ask me, how could there be any traitor? The most important thing is for everyone to quickly retrieve the treasure and leave!"

Lei Long laughed heartily, but at this moment, no one could relax.

Just then, the moonlight reflected in the jade statue slowly rotated. Wei Ziheng couldn't wait for the other party to stop on any particular character, so he immediately pressed the result on the pinyin button based on his own judgment.
