Chapter 4 Ten People and One Chicken

"Seriously!?"

As soon as he heard this, Cao Yu finally couldn't sit still anymore, stood up with a "ho", and looked at Wu Liang with a look of surprise, as if he was looking at a lost treasure.

"The villain has ten heads, and he doesn't dare to deceive the soldiers."

Wu Liang lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.

"Good! Very good! Tonight, I will personally lead the army with you fifty times to explore the tomb of King Liang Xiao, if what you say is true, I will use it for you, and I will personally ask for credit for you when I see the envoy in the future! ”

Cao Yu immediately took the case and said, revealing a little bit of illness and rushing to the doctor in decisiveness.

Wu Liang's conscience was overjoyed, but just as he was about to bow down and thank him, he was jumped out by Zhou Feng and stabbed a bar: "Think twice, what Wu Liang said is still inconclusive, and the army must not be in danger, not to mention that the army is now less than 100 people, if it loses another fifty soldiers, it will be almost the same as the annihilation of the whole army." ”

"I don't need fifty, I only need ten."

Without waiting for Cao Yu to react, Wu Liang had already smiled confidently.

Tomb robbery is never about the more people, the better, especially in this kind of closed tomb, the more non-professionals who enter, the more likely it is to cause danger, and the more serious the unnecessary damage caused to the mausoleum.

As a master's degree in archaeology, Wu Liang was naturally influenced by the concept of "conservation excavation".

In history, the tomb of King Liang Xiao could not escape the fate of being stolen after all, but it was only a matter of time, and he now had the opportunity to help at least some cultural relics with archaeological value for future generations to investigate and study.

"Ten?"

Cao Yu and Zhou Feng were both stunned.

"But these ten people need to be chosen by me personally."

Wu Liang said again.

"But what's the request?"

Cao Yu thought about it and asked again.

"Jun Hou and Du Bo are both excellent in martial arts, if the two of them are willing to go together, it will be great."

Wu Liang deliberately looked at Zhou Feng and said.

"Talented brother" knows Zhou Feng, this person is greedy for life and death, greedy for pleasure, and he will definitely not risk his life, just take this opportunity to make him embarrassed in front of Cao Yu, and the right is a small riposte.

As for Cao Yu, before entering the military tent just now, he heard the bold words of "if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent".

So even if Wu Liang doesn't mention it, he should go.

The most important thing is that Wu Liang knew that someone was going to assassinate him, and taking Cao Yu with him was equivalent to bringing a talisman, and by the way, he could also let Cao Yu witness his own ability, killing two birds with one stone.

"Bastard!"

Zhou Feng really immediately objected, and said in a fierce voice, "If the army waits for me to enter the tomb with me, who will sit in charge of the Wanren army, and you can be responsible for the chaos?" ”

"What Zhou Dubo said is very true, then please wait for the army to sit in the army, and Zhou Dubo and I will go to the tomb together."

Wu Liang said deliberately.

"Me? Ahem, you know me, I ......"

Zhou Feng suddenly looked embarrassed, pretending to cough and explaining to Cao Yu again.

"Enough! I will go to the tomb with you tonight, and Zhou Feng is out to respond. ”

Cao Yu was too lazy to listen to those nonsense, and when he saw that Zhou Feng still wanted to say something, he immediately waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss this matter again!" ”

Wu Liang took advantage of the situation and said: "In addition, I also have to wait for the wild pheasant that I caught a few days ago and raised outside the tent." ”

"Wu Liang, you don't want to get an inch! Even after the army came to Dangshan, he never entered the slightest bit of meat...... Me too! ”

Zhou Feng immediately couldn't help but scold.

Cao Yu looked at Wu Liang very interestingly and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, when you help me do this, I will order someone to cook the wild pheasant for you to enjoy." ”

This is clearly a gentleman's belly with the heart of a foodie!

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

Wu Liang was stunned, and had to explain helplessly: "The military has misunderstood, I want that wild pheasant to be used for another purpose like bringing it into the tomb together...... But after the deed is done, please allow me to bake it and eat it. ”

Pheasant: WDNMD!

……

People in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were still relatively superstitious, and the folk generally believed that the soul of the tomb owner would stay in the yin house to rest during the day, and would only go out at night.

Therefore, if you want to dig a grave, you have to wait until after sunset.

However, Wu Liang believes that this is only one of the reasons why the Hsmiling Army is reversed day and night.

Another reason is mainly due to Cao Cao's position.

In history, Cao Cao regarded himself as a minister of the Han Dynasty all his life, and it is definitely unreasonable for the ministers to openly send people to steal and dig the tombs of the Han royal family, in case it is known, he may become the target of the princes like Dong Zhuo, so this kind of thing that cannot be put on the table is best done secretly at night.

In the later tomb robbery novels, the rule of "the rooster crows but does not touch the gold" of the captain may have come from this......

It is also for this reason that although Wu Liang felt that there was no difference between day and night, he also consciously chose to follow the customs of the locals, and temporarily rested in the military tent under Cao Yu's arrangement, and waited until night to carry out excavation work.

……

So there was nothing to say for a day.

After the army had dinner, a bright moon had quietly climbed up the treetops.

The autumn wind blows through the foothills, making a piercing whistling sound from time to time, and the hazy moonlight shines through the dead trees, leaving a hideous black shadow on the ground.

Cao Yu had assembled his men in front of the tomb early, and he himself had a total of ten people, all of whom were the elite of the Wanren army.

However, even the elites were somewhat apprehensive in front of the strange tomb that had just inexplicably killed more than a hundred lives last night, which could be seen through their expressions as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Soldiers, Wu Liang is in charge of all matters tonight, and you will obey his orders, but those who disobey will be dealt with according to military law!"

Cao Yu is a cool person, as soon as he handed over the command to Wu Liang, he did it himself.

"Yes."

Everyone was uneasy, and the voice of consent was naturally a little thin.

"Xie Junhou, I only have two requirements."

Wu Liang first saluted Cao Yu, then turned to the crowd and said, "First, entering the tomb requires collective action, and no one is allowed to make claims without authorization, let alone touch any objects without authorization; Second, it is enough to light only one torch for lighting, and if the torch is extinguished, you must immediately withdraw from the tomb under any circumstances. ”

"Hear me."

The voice of promise is still sparse.

"Okay, guys, bring your tools and weapons and follow me."

Wu Liang didn't mind, waved his hand at everyone very casually, and strode towards the tomb.

After last night's incident, he can already confirm that there is no poisonous miasma in the tomb passage in front of him, and with the ventilation of the whole day today, the air inside has been exchanged with the outside world, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.

Looking at his dashing back, everyone was still a little uneasy, but when they saw Cao Yu's gaze sweeping, they hurriedly had the courage to follow.

And so on for a long time.

Wu Liang had already passed through the tomb and came to the two huge stone gates that blocked the way.

This is a doorway with a ticket, and it is all made of flat stone strips.

The eaves tiles, ridged beasts, and rafters of the gatehouse are all carved with white marble.

Under the coupon door is the Sumeru seat carved with large bluestone, which is extremely delicately carved with the ornamentation of the lotus flower, which has a strong Taoist meaning and mysterious color.

Under the coupon gate, there are two brilliant and mighty stone gates.

The stone door is also carved from white marble, except for some dust falling on it, the pattern carved out of the seal is still clearly visible.

Wu Liang has seen these patterns, which are popular "cloud patterns" in the Han and Han dynasties.

The celestial realm of the "cloud pattern" period is related to the idea of ascension, and the carving of this pattern on the tomb door is naturally a moral that helps the tomb owner ascend to the heavenly realm.

At this time, Cao Yu had already followed, and remembering Wu Liang's description in the morning, he pressed his hands on the stone gate and pushed it twice, and the other soldiers also hurriedly came up to help.

Sure enough, as Wu Liang said, he didn't move!

In addition, Cao Yu also found a gap between the two doors that was three fingers wide, so he took the torch and looked inside, but he couldn't see anything.

"This door is unusually strong, so why don't you have to hit the wood?"

Cao Yu turned his head and frowned slightly.

Last night, more than 100 people couldn't open these two doors, and he naturally couldn't open them even if he only brought so many people.

"No, I have a way to open this door easily."

Wu Liang said with a confident smile.
