850 Compelling
Le Yao couldn't help but smile. However, her stamina was alright, so how could she bear to let her man suffer? Hence, she patted Nangong Jue's shoulder. "I can walk now. We'll talk when I'm tired."
Nangong Jue didn't insist, but he held her hand and climbed up together.
Fortunately, the hillside was not too difficult to climb. There would still be trees to support them from time to time, so they reached the top of the slope in about half an hour.
There was no cover on the hill, and the view was very good. As far as the eye could see, there was a canyon in front of them. Further away, there was a sea with islands in the sea. Beside it was a lone hill…
Everyone began to descend the mountain and walk into the canyon.
It took another hour or so to finally pass through the canyon. Ahead was a range of mountains, and on the other side were huge reefs exposed from the sea.
As Le Yao looked around, her eyes suddenly widened. This place looked familiar. She immediately tugged at Nangong Jue, but before she could say anything, Nangong Jue's hand shook hers hard, indicating that he could tell too.
This place was very similar to the map.
If nothing went wrong, this should be the location of the treasure.
At this moment, Princess Dina had already gotten off the bamboo chair and looked back at Le Yao. "Tina, do you see this? This is where your grandfather hid the treasure back then. Do you recognize it?"
Le Yao smiled. "I don't know if it's the treasure cave, but it looks very similar to the pattern drawn on the treasure map." She paused for a moment. "But Your Highness, since you already know this place, why did you ask me for the treasure map?"
"She wants that key." Nangong Jue smiled. "Besides, she has to confirm if this is the right place."
"Sir Jue is really smart." Dina nodded. "I only roughly know that this is the place, but I don't know the exact entrance. Now that I have this treasure map… I can find the entrance." As she spoke, she took out the treasure map and looked at it. "Look, this place is marked, and this place…" As she spoke, she looked around and pointed. "It should be there."
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing. It was the small mountain.
"Since you've found the location, is our mission completed?" Le Yao smiled. "Then we'll take our leave first…"
"Hehe." Princess Dina smiled. "Tina, there's no hurry. You still have to find this entrance. Open it."
"Me? How? Didn't I give you the key too?" Le Yao frowned. "Besides, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know that I'm related to Master Ba. So, you're really forcing me."
"Cut the crap. You have no right to decide here. It's up to me." Princess Dina smiled and waved her hand.
The mercenaries immediately aimed their guns at Le Yao and Nan Zhaolu.
"Alright." Le Yao could only sigh. "You're the boss. I'll look for it." She sighed. "Ah Jue, wait for me here."
However, Nangong Jue held her hand. "We're husband and wife. You can't leave me behind." Then, he walked forward first.
That small mountain did not look tall or big from afar, but it was still seventy to eighty meters tall. It was not easy to climb it.
Dina followed behind with her men.
