Chapter 120: The Imperial Tomb
Jiang Luoan soon woke up. When Jiang Aotian and His Majesty the Emperor learned the news, they rushed to her tent to see her.
This time, there were many small countries that agreed to the Daqiang request for cooperation, and at the request of the Daqiang Emperor, they must also bring troops to support.
Knowing from his father that the armies of several small countries that supported Daqiang had evacuated rapidly, Jiang Luoan guessed that it should be Daqiang withdrawing.
Without the permission of the Great Qiang Emperor, the ranks of these small states would not act on their own. And those teams fled in such a hurry, it was not like an organized evacuation.
"They shouldn't have gone far yet, let's chase after them." Jiang Luoan got out of bed and got dressed.
"Just a few people follow me. It would be best if Emperor Daqiang could be captured alive in front of those soldiers. Jiang Luoan called Su Chenyu and He Luo, but the emperor also followed.
They took a shortcut, and although they were a few hours late, they should be able to catch up.
Walking to a dense forest, Su Chenyu gradually slowed down.
Jiang Luoan also sensed that something was wrong. The forest was so quiet that I couldn't even hear the wind blowing through the leaves, and the heartbeat of the people around me seemed to be close at hand.
She gestured for the group to stop.
At this moment, a small team suddenly sprang out from the depths of the dense forest and surrounded them. Looks like I've been waiting here for a long time.
These people were not ordinary soldiers, all of them were cultivators. There are only a few of them here, and even if they get out successfully, it will be difficult for them to catch up with the army in front of them.
He Luo and the others all drew their weapons, and the group of masters on the opposite side also stared at them without blinking.
There was tension on both sides, and a fight was inevitable, but a person suddenly walked out of the crowd opposite.
The man told the man behind him to lay down his weapon and raised his hands to show that he had no ill will.
The man was smiling, and it was hard to be vigilant.
"Everyone, it's all a misunderstanding. The contemptible person's name is Sheng Xiao, and he came here just to pick up Su Gongzi for a trip. Su Gongzi, your mother lives on another continent and hasn't seen you for many years, so she can't wait for me to take you back. β
Hearing that the person in front of him was actually related to Su Chenyu's mother, the expression on the emperor's face changed.
"Another continent, what's that?" Jiang Luoan keenly grasped the unusual words in it.
Sheng Xiao glanced at her and said with some embarrassment: "Please forgive me for inconvenience to disclose these to the girl." We also have rules, and there are some things that cannot be easily told to outsiders. β
Jiang Luoan was not convinced, "I am Su Chenyu's fiancΓ©e, not an outsider." β
Sheng Xiao didn't continue to pay attention to her, and turned his head to look at Su Chenyu.
"Master Su, I am afraid you don't know much about your mother. She has a noble status and knows a thing or two about the situation on your side. If you go back with me, she can save your life. β
Sheng Xiao didn't know that now Su Chenyu's body had recovered most of it, and the curse was almost lifted. He also thought that Su Chenyu was the weak boy back then.
Su Chenyu didn't like the tone of the person in front of him. It seems to be respectful, but in fact it is faintly forced, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
He no longer needs the so-called mother to lift the curse for him, as for the mother's overthinking, this is nonsense.
Su Chenyu said: "Thank you Mr. for your kindness, but-"
Sheng Xiao intercepted his words, "Young Master Su doesn't have to give me an answer so quickly, it's best to think about this kind of thing clearly." Why don't we make an appointment, and Su Gongzi will give me your answer in seven days. β
After speaking, he smiled slightly, waved his hand and left with the group.
It was only after the men were gone that the Emperor spoke his mind.
"You can't go, there must be fraud inside."
Su Chenyu looked at his father, "I think so too." She hasn't heard from her for years, so why did she come to me at this time? β
The emperor said, "Your mother left shortly after giving birth to you. She left pretending to forget you in a hurry, but she deliberately left you with me. β
Although there was such a small episode on the road, the footsteps of several of them were fast, and they soon chased after the team led by Emperor Daqiang to camp tonight.
When the few of them broke into the tent of the Great Qiang Emperor, the emperor was discussing the plan for the future with the military advisor, but he did not expect them to walk in like this without concealment.
Fearing that the wall would have ears, he told the guards to stay away from the tents.
He thought that as long as someone approached here, then the guards standing outside in a circle could also make it impossible for them to get close, but he didn't expect Jiang Luo'an and the others to move so quickly, and their guards didn't react at all.
Jiang Luoan was worried about Su Chenyu's body, so he let him stand behind him intentionally or unintentionally. Even the emperor walked in front of Su Chenyu.
Emperor Daqiang saw at a glance that among these people were the people who held him hostage at the beginning, and Su Chenyu would definitely not forget it. At the moment of the enemy, he still did not forget to point at Su Chenyu and shouted: "Come on, arrest him for me." β
But there are only two people here, the military advisor can not be civil, and Sen Qing set up a soundproof barrier in the tent when Jiang Luo'an and they came in, no matter how Emperor Daqiang shouted, no one would come in.
The emperor and Jiang Aotian teamed up to deal with the Great Qiang Emperor, and Wen Zhao went to arrest the military division, and soon the two of them were tied up and thrown together.
Emperor Daqiang knew that it was important to be controlled by others to save his life, and he was not afraid of death. Wen Zhao didn't stop them, and the military advisor kept scolding the group of people who broke in.
Although the people outside will not come in because of this movement, the military advisor is too noisy. Wen Zhao wanted him to shut up quickly, so he slashed at the back of his neck with a hand knife.
Jiang Luo'an looked at this military advisor and fell straight down with his eyes, and called him tentatively, but there was no response.
It didn't take long for a small puddle of blood to suddenly appear under the head of the division.
Wen Zhao also began to frown, he walked over and turned the military advisor's head over, and found a hole the size of a fingernail in his temple, which was gurgling out.
It turned out that there was a stone in the ground, and when he fell to the ground, he happened to hit the stone, and his temples were a little sunken.
Wen Zhao tested his snort and shook his head at Jiang Luoan.
Emperor Daqiang also saw Wen Zhao's movements. The military advisor who was talking and laughing with him just now became a dead corpse in an instant, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
There was also a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Wen Zhao.
This Great Qiang Emperor has once again fallen into their hands, and this time they can't be let go easily.
Jiang Luoan has always felt that poison is a good way to interrogate. For many cultivators, some flesh wounds are nothing at all, and only when their lives are really threatened, they panic.
She took out a pill from her bosom, broke Emperor Daqiang's mouth, and shoved it despite his struggles.
As soon as the pill slipped into his abdomen, Emperor Daqiang felt a burning heat rise from his lower abdomen, reaching his throat.
The burning sensation was like a fire burning in his intestines, and he fell to the ground with a twisted color.
Listening to Emperor Daqiang falling to the ground and moaning continuously, Jiang Luoan waited for a while before asking, "Do you want an antidote?" β
Emperor Daqiang had been driven to madness by this feeling. He tried hard to stretch out his hand to Jiang Luoan and ask for the antidote, but he forgot that he was tied up now and couldn't make such an action.
Jiang Luoan kicked him on tiptoe, "Do you want it?" So what do you get in exchange? β
Emperor Daqiang heard this sentence clearly. He nodded desperately, making a hoarse voice, "What do you want?" β
Jiang Luoan didn't know, "It depends on what you want to exchange for your own life." β
"Secret treasure, I have a secret treasure, as long as you can give me the money, I will immediately take out this secret treasure and give it to you." Hearing that his antidote was promising, Emperor Daqiang endured the pain and said such a paragraph.
Jiang Luoan turned his head to look at Su Chenyu behind him, "This Daqiang land is rich in resources, and there must be a lot of good things to have, do you think this deal is cost-effective?" β
Su Chenyu only smiled slightly, "It's good if you like it." β
Jiang Luoan happily took out the antidote from his arms and cut the rope on his body with a dagger. Emperor Daqiang took it like a treasure and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly a burst of coolness entered his body.
Emperor Daqiang collapsed to the ground as if he had been reborn, never wanting to move again.
Jiang Luo'an said: "There is still a long way to go from Daqiang here, how can we guarantee that you will not run away halfway." In this way, you put the Zhenguo Jade Seal here as a mortgage first, and the secret treasure will naturally be returned to you after you get it. β
Emperor Daqiang has now been cured of the poison in his body, and his mind has begun to figure out how to escape from here.
Hearing that they actually said that they wanted to take the Zhenguo jade seal as collateral, his first reaction was to refuse. But after thinking about it, if these people are all dead, wouldn't the jade seal be able to return to his hands intact?
Thinking of this, Emperor Daqiang still agreed.
Wen Zhao asked him to tell him the location of the secret treasure first. Emperor Daqiang stood for a while, and finally said reluctantly: "In my Daqiang Imperial Mausoleum." If you can't rest assured, you can also pick it up yourself. β
The jade seal is indeed in the imperial tomb, but letting them get it by themselves is completely fooling. How could the royal tombs be so easy to access?
But it doesn't matter, as long as he fools them temporarily, this place is still not a short distance away from Daqiang, and he can always find an opportunity to escape on the way.
Some of his men were still outside, and if they noticed something was wrong, they would definitely be able to escape.
He was still thinking nonsense here, and Jiang Luoan laughed as if he saw his thoughts, "It's impossible to take advantage of the opportunity to escape." I only gave you half of this antidote, and the other half can only be handed over to you at the gate of the Imperial Mausoleum. β
Emperor Daqiang finally stopped thinking of other tricks.
Jiang Luoan and his entourage silently withdrew from the emperor's tent. The poison in the pill that Jiang Luo'an gave to Emperor Daqiang was extracted from Sen Qing's body, and the corresponding antidote pill could only be obtained from Sen Qing.
They were not worried that the Great Qiang Emperor would take the opportunity to escape. As long as he found a few doctors to come and check the pulse, he knew that the poison in his body could not be cured.
A few days later, they finally arrived at Daqiang.
Wen Zhao had proposed a long time ago that they could directly kill Emperor Daqiang and break into the imperial tomb by themselves. Anyway, the place where the secret treasure is placed is known, and it is useless to leave this emperor, maybe it will hurt them.
But others disagree. The specific location of the imperial tomb was still brought by the Daqiang Emperor to be the safest, and if they wanted to find it themselves, they would have to work harder.
When they arrived at the Daqiang border, they smuggled the Daqiang Emperor out of the team again.
They asked him to show them the way.
The imperial mausoleum is not something that ordinary people can open, and the emperors of the past dynasties will learn the opening method of the imperial mausoleum from the old emperor, but others even the prince and the princess know nothing.
This is the reason why they have to bring Emperor Daqiang over.
They bypassed the guards outside the Imperial Tomb, and soon the Great Qiang Emperor opened the way and entered the Imperial Tomb.
As soon as you enter, there is a deep corridor. Several people lined up in a row, Jiang Luoan followed closely behind Emperor Daqiang, and Wen Zhao was in charge of breaking the queen.
At the bend of the road, Emperor Daqiang stumbled under his feet and supported the wall beside him with his hand before he stood firmly.
After regaining the torch, the corners of his lips hooked imperceptibly.
