Chapter: 2197
When I unfolded it, I found that there was a mysterious pattern drawn on the parchment, but it was a bit incomplete.
"Concubine Xuan, what is this?" Lu Chen was a little surprised.
"This is the treasure map passed down from the Cao family's ancestors, and it is also what Shangguanhong has always wanted. Now, my father has given it to you." Concubine Cao Xuan smiled slightly.
"What? An ancestral treasure map?"
Lu Chen was startled at first, then waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, this thing is too valuable, I can't have it!"
The treasures of the Cao family are as rich as an enemy, and can even change the pattern of the world.
The value of this treasure map is simply inestimable.
"It's just a incomplete treasure map. It's useless for my dad to keep it. Why don't I give it to you. Maybe you will have a chance to put the treasure map together." Concubine Cao Xuan said with a smile.
"Concubine Xuan, this is your family's ancestral possession, how can I take away someone else's favor?" Lu Chen shook his head again.
"Actually, my dad did this after careful consideration."
Concubine Cao Xuan explained: "With his current ability, he cannot protect this treasure map. It might be taken away by Shangguan Hong one day. Rather than letting the treasure fall into the hands of an ambitious person, it is better to choose a suitable treasure map." The successor of the book will inherit this treasure map."
"This..." Lu Chen hesitated.
Cao Guan regards this treasure map as more important than his own life, but now it is given to him, it is an unconditional trust.
At the same time, it also made him feel a heavy responsibility.
"Okay, there's no need to refuse. This is my father's wish. Just accept it. Maybe it can help you in the future."
Concubine Cao Xuan smiled, and stuffed the parchment into Lu Chen's arms.
"Okay, I'll keep it for your dad first, and then return it to him after the Cao family is stable." Lu Chen finally nodded.
Cao Guan gave him the treasure map, on the one hand, out of trust, and on the other hand, he hoped that it could be handled properly so that it would not harm all living beings.
...
At night, inside the Shangguan's mansion.
Shangguan Hong was sitting in the study, playing chess by himself.
Cao Jun and Cao Zhiyuan stood obediently by the side, not daring to take a breath, looking extremely humble.
Since they were captured by Tiger and Leopard Riders last time, they were released after only two days of detention.
In their opinion, it must have been Shangguan Hong who persuaded Hongying God of War to let him go.
This is enough to prove that they are not following the wrong person.
"Tomorrow is the day of engagement, are things ready?"
After a game of chess was played, Shangguan Hong finally spoke.
"this......"
Hearing this, Cao Jun's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked at his daughter standing beside him.
"Brother Hong, we were already close to success, and it's all due to that damned Chen Lu, who disrupted our overall plan and caused us to be arrested." JrNovels.com
