Chapter 100: Kuangying Mausoleum 12
The two were silent for a while, there was no time here, Gao Yang just felt that this tunnel was too long and too long, so long that there was no end, there was no end, how long would it take to walk, and before he knew it, his legs had reached weakness.
"Soon, it's coming!"
"I heard that the first emperor killed 700,000 migrant workers who built the imperial tomb, and when the imperial tombs were built in the past dynasties, the migrant workers would consciously dig a secret passage for their own escape, which is this secret passage?"
"Definitely! This is not a secret escape path left by migrant workers, it can also be said to be ...... It's an unformed one! The previous overseer found out about the tunnel and sealed it, and it took me a few years to open a drainage channel through this abandoned escape tunnel! ”
"Drains? This imperial tomb was originally underground, and it still needs a drainage channel? ”
"Of course, the Ministry of Engineering has done geological surveys, and some places are not suitable for large-scale water flow, so a special drainage channel was dug!"
"Wait, you're saying we're going into the Imperial Tomb through the drain? The drainage channel is very narrow, but the cement channel is very small? ”
"Exactly, you'll see it in a moment!"
Gao Yang couldn't walk anymore, he hit his foot carelessly, and almost fell, Ming Huaibing quickly caught her with his hand, and after she stood firm, Ming Huaibing gently let go of her hand, "Otherwise, you will rest!" ”
"How long will we have to go?"
"When you get to the drain, it's almost there!"
Gao Yang held on to the corner of the wall to rest for a while, rested for a while, and motioned for Ming Huaibing to continue to set off, Ming Huaibing said, "Well, we have to hurry up, we have to walk into the imperial tomb before the torches are burned out, and then come out!" ”
Gao Yang stopped talking nonsense and focused on following Ming Huaibing's pace.
Finally, Gao Yang saw the so-called sewer, she instantly felt that her hair exploded, shocking, this drain was too narrow, so narrow that an adult could only crawl on his stomach, she was shocked and incoherent, "This...... What are you...... How do we get there? ”
"Crawl over!"
"Ah!!h
"This space inside is too small, I'll put out the torches, I'm in front, you're behind, it's pitch black inside, if you're scared, talk to me."
"I ......" Gao Yang wanted to retreat, she looked back, the dark passage, deep and endless, lonely and weird, made her depressed and suffocated, made her shudder, and made her nervous fall.
What other options are there than to move forward?
Gao Yangtie sighed, "It's all here, and there's no reason to quit, let's start, don't go too fast, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up!" ”
"Hmm!" Then Ming Huaibing cut off the torch, and for a moment, it was all darkness.
Gao Yang wondered if everything that had just happened was real, maybe it might be a dream, perhaps, Ming Huaibing had never appeared at all, the darkness was terrible at this time, and the quiet was weird.
Gao Yang still had this thought in her heart, there was really someone in front of her, was it a human or a ghost?
Ming Huaibing opened his voice and spoke, "Don't worry, I'm always by your side!" ”
Ming Huaibing took Gao Yang's hand and handed Gao Yang a sweat towel, "Hold on to this sweat towel, keep up with me, before you turn off the fire, you should see the location of the sewer clearly, I'll climb in first, you follow!" ”
"I ...... All right! ”
Everything that was silent, Ming Huaibing's movements Gao Yang heard very clearly, expecting that he had climbed into the sewer, Gao Yang tiptoed and groped, followed the sweat towel in his hand, and found the location of the pipe to drill in, the space in this is even narrower, she can't even get up, she can only lie on her stomach, bend in this pipe, there is no white light, thousands of miles of black clouds.
If it weren't for the sweat towel in her hand, she really wondered if she was still in a dream, if she was still alive.
Ming Huaibing pulled her forward through the sweat towel, she crawled on her stomach to follow, this action was too uncomfortable, because she couldn't see at all, she didn't even know what would be inside this water pipe, dust, sand, mud and stones, or ants and insects, centipedes, scorpions, or snakes?
Since she was a child, she was most afraid of snakes!
Ming Huaibing's voice came, and his voice quality sounded ethereal because of this special place, and he said, "Don't be afraid, I've always been in front of you!" ”
"Huai Bing!" Gao Yang called out to Ming Huaibing.
Ming Huaibing was stunned for a long time by this "Huai Bing", from the beginning of their acquaintance, Gao Yang called him Ming Sangongzi, Sangongzi, Sangongzi, and then Sangongzi, I have never heard Gao Yang call "Huaibing"!
Ming Huaibing didn't express his surprise, and asked lightly, "What's wrong?" ”
"I want to ask, when I returned to the capital on the first day, Shi Mingyu forced me to drill the dog hole, why are you so easy to drill? With your status and status, if you really want to help me, is there only that humiliating way? ”
"Yes, so the second brother said that I am a snake and mouse villain, extremely disgusting, people like me don't care about these, I can bend and stretch, as long as I can win, it doesn't matter what means!"
"Well......" Gao Yang actually wanted to say a lot, and there were still a lot of questions, but it was clear that he had been talking for a day, and he had answered too many questions from her, and the more questions were answered, the more Gao Yang couldn't understand it.
An interesting thing suddenly came to her mind, if at that time, when Shi Mingyu made it difficult for Gao Yang to drill the dog hole, it was not Ming Huaibing who saved her, but Mu Zhiqing, what would the ending be? Gao Yang imagined it in his mind:
She thought, with Mu Zhenqing's proud and domineering temperament, Shi Mingyu asked him to drill the dog hole, it is estimated that he will directly dismantle the dog hole, Shi Mingyu is bloody on the spot, disfigured and broken, perhaps, even Shi Fu will be flattened by his Eagle Division.
She forgot that Shi Mingyu's stupid woman was originally disfigured by Mu Zhiqing!
Perhaps, it's not what Gao Yang thinks, but it's worse than Gao Yang imagined!
After all, Jianying Guard doesn't care about the consequences when he kills people! One is unhappy, his hand is up and down, and there is probably no difference between killing a person and cutting a handful of leeks.
There may be a little difference, you don't need to wipe the sword to cut leeks, and when you kill blood, you have to spend some time polishing the sword!
Sure enough, Ming Huaibing and Mu Zhiqing are two very different practices!
The fear in Gao Yang's heart has not changed, although she has adapted to the darkness and the small space, she is afraid from her heart, if she suddenly encounters a snake in the process, or a centipede suddenly jumps down from her hair and face......
Thinking about it, cold sweat oozed from her forehead, but now there is no way back, she can only rely on her intuition, supporting both sides of the water pipe with both hands, keep moving forward, forward, close her eyes and go forward, don't ask anything, maybe when she opens her eyes, she looks forward to the light, and she can see the rumored imperial tomb!
Thinking of the Imperial Tomb, Gao Yang became more and more puzzled, what did Ming Huaibing want to explain to her, why did he have to take her to see the Emperor's Tomb to explain?
Is there any reason for this?
What's in the Emperor's Mausoleum, isn't it extravagant funeral goods, gold and jade treasures, and others? Regarding his father Gao Zhanxun, Ming Huaibing also said that no one knew the truth about the old case in Yanguan back then, even if he came to the imperial tomb, could everything be explained?
"Huaibing, I still don't understand, why do you have to bring me to the Imperial Mausoleum, does my father's case have anything to do with the Imperial Mausoleum?"
"In your opinion, what is the relationship between the Imperial Tomb and your father?"
"I, I don't know ......"
"You really don't know?"
Gao Yang let out a long sigh: "Hey, why are you always aggressive, I don't know if I don't know, is it possible that you will know when you ask it?" ”
"No, you know!"
The air condensed, and Gao Yang knew that she was in the middle of the ice again, "Imperial Mausoleum, since ancient times, what good things can the Imperial Mausoleum have, empty the treasury, work the people and lose money, you brought me here to tell me, the heroic deeds of the emperor are nothing more than to take me to witness with my own eyes, what is a luxury imperial mausoleum!" ”
Everything was still pitch black, still space, subconsciously moving her body to follow the invisible Ming Huaibing in front of her, if she hadn't heard his voice, heard each other's rough kicking and breathing, she would have doubted once again whether she was still alive in the world.
Ming Huaibing's response this time was beyond Gao Yang's expectations, and it was still the kind of faint tone that he never got tired of listening to, "Zhang Junlin is a rare Mingjun and a saint!" At least I think that he is enough to be called a holy king, he is diligent in government and loves the people, how can he do things that increase the burden on the people? ”
"What do you mean?"
"The imperial mausoleum of the first emperor is not only not extravagant, but the ultimate simplicity, the buildings and furnishings of his imperial mausoleum, as well as the burial utensils, all reflect that he is a good emperor!"
Sometimes Ming Huaibing really thinks that people like Gao Yang always have the temperament of being at the mercy of others as you want me to be. He and Gao Yang said so much, and he had an obvious order of questioning, asking Ming Dailing, asking himself, asking Mu Zheqing, asking Gao Thief, asking the emperor, and asking all the characters and associated characters related to her tragedy.
What did he want to ask, but she didn't know at all? Or she didn't know, let him go with the flow, let him rain duckweed.
Is it because she has no opinions and doesn't want to think, or is she hiding her thoughts in her heart and deliberately pretending to be stupid.
Looking at her situation, it should be a little more than the former, this injured girl, with her emotional and mental mind, should not be able to go to the point where she is today, the root of everything, because she is the daughter of Bai Qianhua, because this identity has raised her to a height and tragedy that does not belong to her.
And because she is the daughter of a thief, she has suffered several hardships and been tortured, if she is just an ordinary person, she should live an ordinary life like ordinary women in the world, living an ordinary life of husband and children.
It's really strange, just now he still has an illusion, the illusion that Gao Yang has changed greatly, she thinks that after Bing'er's reincarnation, she should change, she will definitely change, she must hate the world, in short, it is definitely not what she is now.
Hasn't it changed, it's just an illusion? Or has it changed, he doesn't know?
This wounded heart, no matter how polished by the heavens, still can't awaken successfully?
What is he expecting, so does he want her to change or not to change, to awaken or not to awaken?
Ming Huaibing didn't know how long he had walked forward, if Gao Yang asked, how long would he have to climb the secret road? He couldn't answer either.
Because this secret passage was discovered by himself by accident, he had been there countless times, but he still couldn't estimate how long this tunnel was. He could only crawl in the dark, until the first light reflected in.
Gao Yang didn't talk to Ming Huaibing, she crawled vigorously, and when she was tired, she pulled the rope hard, and in the dark, Ming Huaibing on the other end of the sweat towel felt Gao Yang's strength, and tacitly understood the meaning, he stopped and waited for her.
The dark tunnel, not knowing the sun and the moon, not knowing the stars, Gao Yang didn't know how long they were crawling, only knew that he was sore, his legs and feet were numb, and his waist was even more uncomfortable crawling on the tunnel because of his long-term atrophy.
Suddenly, a faint light shone into the darkness, and the legendary imperial tomb was about to appear?
What is the face of that royal stepfather? Is he evil or good, and what kind of relationship does he have with my thief father, just like this, is it easy to see the true face of this Lushan?
Ming Huaibing's voice came from his ears: "The front is here." ”
He paused and continued: "There are many mausoleums in China, and the imperial mausoleum is the best of the best, and the heritage of the imperial mausoleum will become a window to know the emperor and see the civilization carrier of this dynasty.
Maybe he just imitated Qin Shi Huang's Dong Shi, maybe he was wrong, he made mistakes that all emperors would make, but it is undeniable that in my heart, he is the wise god! Gao Yang, I will let you see the cruel side, you know the emperor's mistakes, and you should also know your biological father's sins!
You...... Have you figured it out? ”
