Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 135 - 133: General?

She gently patted the White Tiger’s head, signaling it to quietly follow those people, avoiding any unnecessary noise.

Thus, she followed them all the way to a very hidden cave.

Those people brushed aside the thick wild grass, and inside the cave, a faint glow of firelight could be seen.

She carefully guided the White Tiger to the entrance of the cave. Despite its striking appearance, the tiger was agile and made not a single sound.

The pair listened outside, hearing the rustling sounds of the people inside. When they finished packing and were about to go back for another crate, she quickly climbed a tree with the White Tiger.

They waited until the second half of the night, by which time the crates were all piled near the entrance.

Those people, drenched in sweat, complained, "Just one last trip, and we’ll be done with it. Tomorrow morning the General will send someone to come and take it away."

A General?

Ruan Mian frowned, speculating, while those people continued to speak with disdain.

"We have no idea where Wuheng’s lot of fugitives is hiding. We can’t afford for them to find this place; otherwise, we’ll lose our heads!"

"Don’t worry, what can that bunch of commoners possibly do? I heard there are quite a few women among those fugitives. If we get the chance to catch them, we could have some fun!"

They laughed lewdly as they turned back to carry the last crate.

Ruan Mian’s gaze grew colder.

Once they left, she descended with the White Tiger, pried open the wooden crates, and discovered they were filled to the brim with treasures.

The entire cave was already packed full.

Judging by their pace, they must have found this treasure trove half a month ago.

Excavating so much treasure without making any noise.

And the treasures included not only the broken jade and Copper Coins but also some other gold, silver, jewelry, and fragmentary stone murals.

There were even some items Ruan Mian couldn’t name.

Looking at these treasures, she immediately realized those people were up to no good, if not Lanqiang individuals, then spies of her own country. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to secretly dig up the treasure for so long.

So Ruan Mian decisively collected all the treasures from the crates into her space.

But she wasn’t in a hurry to leave, waiting instead to see who that so-called General might be.

After a long while, those people returned with the last crate.

Before they could even sit down, new faces arrived.

Ruan Mian hid among the leaves high above, seeing only a tall man in Lanqiang Battle Armor arriving.

A man dressed in coarse cloth respectfully accompanied him.

Seeing them approach, those originally resting quickly stood up and saluted.

"Greetings, General."

They showed surprise and said, "General, why have you come personally?"

The General remained silent, but under the pure black mask, there was a strong air of oppression.

Ruan Mian adjusted to several angles but couldn’t see what he looked like.

She only saw that the man in coarse clothing was quite handsome, with strong, muscular arms.

The General, holding a sword, looked at the man and said, "Lieutenant General Han, we agreed back then that anything that comes out of the treasure trove would be equally divided between the Prince and me."

"Today, you join me in seeing how much has been excavated, so that the Prince can have a clear understanding."

The moment Ruan Mian heard the name Lieutenant General Han, a name immediately flashed in her mind.

Han Ling.

If it’s really him, then it proves her previous fears were true.

If General Huo were to send people for support, it would be a death sentence.

All of Wuheng’s soldiers would become trapped between King Yan and the Lanqiang Army.

She lowered her gaze, continuing to listen without showing any reaction.

After speaking, the General instructed his subordinates to open the crates. "Let Lieutenant General Han have a look."

When they opened one, what was inside wasn’t treasure at all! It was just a crate full of heavy, foul-smelling dirt.

The subordinate was taken aback! In a panic, he opened another crate.

However, no matter how many crates were opened, the original treasures had all disappeared without a trace.

He fell to his knees with a thud, shouting, "How can this be!? General, General, spare me! This is impossible!"

At this time, the General’s face turned ashen. Disbelieving, he opened all the crates. Finding no treasures, he was so furious that he drew his sword and beheaded the subordinate.

The others behind were trembling with fear, their faces pale.

"General, spare us. We personally excavated these treasures. Each one passed through our hands. We carried them back ourselves after putting them in the crates. It’s absolutely true! It can’t be fake."

"Impossible? Are you suggesting that both the General and Lieutenant General Han are blind?!"

"Your humble servant... Your humble servant doesn’t know why this happened! Only we have handled these items from excavation until now, not to mention this desolate wilderness. Is there... a ghost?"

"Fools! If there were ghosts, they wouldn’t feast on treasures, but on your lives!"

"But your humble servant doesn’t dare lie, General! There were so many treasures; how could we few dare to embezzle them?!"

Terrified of being killed, they began to stammer.

Beside them, Lieutenant General Han pondered for a moment, then spoke to the General.

"There might be something here we don’t know. Since they insist there are treasures, why not have them take us to where the treasures were excavated and see for ourselves?"

They quickly got up, trembling, and led the way.

Seeing this, Ruan Mian didn’t hesitate to ride the White Tiger.

"Little darling, let’s see how much faster you can be than them."

As soon as she finished speaking, the White Tiger shot off like an arrow from the bow.

Ruan Mian was nearly thrown off the tiger’s back but managed to steady herself by holding on just in time.

She could feel the fierce wind against her ears, making it impossible to open her eyes.

The surrounding scenery turned into a blur.

She simply closed her eyes, counting down the time.

Before long, the White Tiger had already stopped.

Upon reopening her eyes, she found they had reached the original excavation site.

The speed!!

Comparable to a racing car.

Reaching the place, she followed the path they dug down and lit the flint, only to find it wasn’t a tomb as she had imagined.

It was more like a warehouse.

Those people hadn’t finished excavating everything, and Ruan Mian once again scoured the place clean.

She confirmed without a doubt that King Yan was indeed colluding with the Lanqiang enemy forces.

If they succeeded, the first to suffer would be the civilians living in Wuheng.

So when Han Ling and his men arrived at the location, they found the entrance blocked.

Sensing something amiss, they struggled to open it, only to find it empty inside.

There were only traces of treasure that hadn’t been completely cleared.

At this moment, the General’s face changed drastically, as those traces confirmed treasures were indeed here, but now they had vanished without a trace, and he was bound not to spare those subordinates.

Soon, the screams of those people could be heard from within.
