On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

Wu Junyao nodded and spread out the map in his hand: "I received news last night that there were several suspicious figures nearby. They might be the masterminds we have been pursuing. We must uncover the truth before they do."

At this moment, Liu Mengli came out of the tent, with a complex light in her eyes: "I want to help too. I have almost recovered from my rest during this period of time."

"Mengli, your body hasn't fully recovered yet," Jiang Yanwan said with concern, "but if you insist, remember to pay attention to safety."

Liu Mengli nodded firmly: "I will be careful."

The three of them quickly made a plan and planned to act separately. During this process, Jiang Yanwan noticed that the monitors sent by King Jin were very alert to their every move. She knew that if she was not careful, she would fall into a greater crisis.

"We must create some illusions to make King Jin's people mistakenly think that we are doing something else." Jiang Yanwan whispered to Wu Junyao.

Wu Junyao thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will arrange for a few confidants to do some confusing actions to attract their attention."

As night fell, the paths around the camp were crowded with people. Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao led a small team of elite soldiers and quietly left the camp, heading straight for the suspicious location they had explored earlier. Liu Mengli stayed near the camp, responsible for observing and reporting the movements.

On the way, the moonlight sprinkled in the forest, covering everything with a layer of silver. Jiang Yanwan looked solemn: "Commander Wu, I always feel that there is a bigger conspiracy behind the King of Jin, and what we see is only part of it."

"I think so too," Wu Junyao responded, "Our investigations all along seem to be controlled by an invisible hand, and may even involve a struggle for imperial power."

After walking for a while, they found a hidden trail. At the end of the trail was an ancient abandoned temple, which obviously hid many secrets. Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao exchanged glances, and then signaled the team to move forward carefully.

Entering the temple, they immediately sensed a strange atmosphere in the air. The floor in the center of the temple was covered with weeds and dust, and the murals on the walls were in tatters, but some strange patterns could still be vaguely recognized.

"These patterns don't look like ordinary religious murals." Jiang Yanwan observed carefully and her face became serious.

Wu Junyao nodded: "This place may be related to the secret medicine garden. Let's continue looking for clues."

At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps was heard, and the two immediately became alert and hid behind the pillars. Only to see a figure sneaking into the temple, it was one of the King of Jin's confidants.

"It seems that we have found the right place." Wu Junyao whispered.

They watched quietly, the other person seemed to be looking for something. Suddenly, the man took out a parchment scroll from his arms, unfolded it carefully, and revealed a hidden map mark, which was the location of the legendary medicine garden.

"We must get that parchment scroll." A glimmer of determination flashed in Jiang Yanwan's eyes.

Wu Junyao nodded, signaling the team members to prepare for action. Several people approached quietly, waiting for the best opportunity.

"Now!" Wu Junyao gave an order, and several people rushed out. The confidant was horrified and hurriedly protected the parchment scroll and tried to escape. However, Wu Junyao was prepared. He accurately captured the other party and controlled him by a throat lock.

"Tell me! What the hell are you doing?" Wu Junyao asked coldly.

The confidant struggled for a moment, and finally succumbed to Wu Junyao's powerful aura: "I... I was just following orders. The real mastermind behind the scenes is..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly foamed at the mouth, convulsed in pain, and died in a short while.

"He was silenced." Jiang Yanwan examined the body and confirmed this heartbreaking fact.

Wu Junyao's face was gloomy: "The enemy's methods are too cruel, we must be more cautious."

They quickly picked up the parchment, but found that a corner had been burned, and the key part of the map was blurred. Obviously, the person behind the scenes didn't want them to find the secret of the medicine garden easily.

However, they did not give up and decided to continue exploring according to the few remaining marks on the map.

After returning to the camp, Liu Mengli came up to them and asked anxiously, "How are you? Did you find anything?"

Wu Junyao showed part of the parchment scroll: "We found some clues about the medicine garden, but the key location was destroyed. We need more information to confirm it."

"Maybe I can help." Liu Mengli suddenly said, with a hint of mystery in her eyes.

Jiang Yanwan looked at her in confusion: "Mengli, what do you know?"

Liu Mengli nodded: "I once accidentally heard someone mention something about this map. Although my memory is vague, I can try to recall those clues."

At night, the campfire in the camp was lit again, and the three of them sat together. Liu Mengli closed her eyes and tried to recall the long-forgotten past.

"I remember my grandmother once told me that the entrance to the medicine garden was hidden in an isolated valley. It was spring all year round and the vegetation was lush, but it was extremely difficult to enter and exit."

Jiang Yanwan listened carefully and then gestured on the map: "According to your description, this area best meets the requirements. We can explore further from here."

Wu Junyao nodded in agreement: "Speed ​​is the key now. We must find the medicine garden before King Jin's people and uncover all the mysteries."

The next morning, they quickly packed up their equipment and set out again. This time, they chose a more covert route to avoid the eyes and ears of King Jin.

After several days of trekking, they finally found the legendary valley entrance between cliffs. The entrance was covered by dense vines and it would be difficult to detect without Liu Mengli's guidance.

Entering the valley, the view was suddenly clear, and it was indeed as beautiful as the rumors said. Various exotic flowers and plants were blooming, and the air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. In the distance, there was an old cottage, which seemed to be the core of the medicinal garden.

The three approached the hut cautiously and found an ancient spell engraved on the door frame, which seemed to be used to protect the secrets inside. While studying the spell, Jiang Yanwan sighed: "This place is really extraordinary."

Wu Junyao motioned for everyone to step back a few steps, then gently pried open the door lock with his long sword. The door creaked open, revealing the interior of the hut. The furnishings inside were simple, but there were a few ancient books and some bottles and jars on the table.

Liu Mengli flipped open a book and said in surprise, "This is the notes of the guardians of the medicine garden from generation to generation. It records in detail the types and uses of herbs."

Jiang Yanwan picked up a bottle of medicine, sniffed it carefully, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes: "These medicines can actually enhance the body's self-healing ability."

Just as they were exploring excitedly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside, obviously someone was following them.

"Hurry, we have to go!" Wu Junyao quickly packed up the important things, and the group evacuated quickly.

Not long after they left, King Jin led his men into the valley. Seeing the empty hut, he was furious: "Damn it! They got there first!"

Back at the camp, the three immediately held a secret meeting to discuss the next steps. Liu Mengli proposed a bold plan: "We can use these potions and knowledge to reveal the true intentions of King Jin and let everyone see the truth."

Jiang Yanwan agreed: "Yes, we need to get more people on our side to fight against the forces behind King Jin."

Wu Junyao clenched his fists: "From now on, we must be more cautious and make full use of every clue. For the stability of the country and the happiness of the people, we must not retreat."
