Chapter 198: Impostor

"Wait!"

The strange situation made Cao Cao suddenly alert, he and Liu Xie came to the door of the cave, looked at the six iron chains and hesitated, he actually squatted down and pulled out himself.

He pulled each one, and then a hidden smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and after getting up, he pointed to the chain in the middle room and said, "The one on the left, all of you will pull it." ”

"No!"

The golden pawn hurriedly complied, and more than 20 people got up and down their hands, and they heard a rumbling in the basement, but Cao Cao insisted on this, and no one dared to say anything.

About a few minutes passed, and in this scalp-tinging sound, Liu Xie saw a large iron box chained by them being taken off.

On the iron box, there are exactly six iron cables, which are welded on six sides of it.

I see!

No wonder the six chains were pulled together just now, and there was no sound, it turned out that because they were all welded together, everyone worked together, and when the power was balanced, there was naturally no sound, and it would definitely not be pulled.

Bang Dang!

The iron box was dragged up to the terrace, Cao Cao and Liu Xie surrounded it, and looked carefully, the iron box was very simple and had no patterns at all, and because of the long-term immersion under water, most of it had decayed.

"Smash it open."

Cao Cao gave an indifferent order, and when he heard the sound, he pulled out a strange little hammer from his back, it is estimated that this is the guy they usually rob the tomb, squatted down, first tentatively tapped a few times, and then rushed to this place without rust, slammed it down, and with a bang, the iron box burst in response.

Don't look at this iron box is very rotten and rusty, but there is a small crystal coffin inside, crystal clear, and in the coffin is a leather roll and a skull!

"Open." Seeing this, Liu Xie noticed a flash of surprise on Cao Cao's face, could it be that Boss Cao saw something?

At this time, he also noticed that the touch of the golden pawn was obviously much more careful about the crystal coffin, the hammer was thrown aside, and the two of them, one held the small coffin, and the other used a knife to insert it into the gap, pry it little by little, and it took almost a stick of incense before the crystal coffin was opened.

Because it was a coffin, after the leather scroll was taken out, it was carefully examined by the golden pawn, and then reported to them: "Your Majesty, Lord Sikong, this is a parchment scroll, and now I will spread it on the ground and show it to you." ”

The parchment rolled out, and Liu Xie and Cao Cao leaned down to look at it, only to see an exaggerated and simple pattern depicted on it, in which one man cut off another man's head with a knife, and then a tall man stood in a place that resembled the head of the city and set it on fire.

Looking closely, the place where it was burned should be the palace, and in a small window of the palace, there is also a figure, judging by the hair color, the one who was burned should be the person who wielded a knife and beheaded him before.

Uncanny!

In addition to the pictures, there are also words on the parchment scroll, and it is time to coax the couch to appear, he squatted down and read it word by word, but Liu Xie found at this time that as he read, the coaxing couch showed an extremely shocked expression on his face.

"What's the matter, say."

"Yes!"

He snorted, coaxed the couch as if coming back to his senses, and watched them translate: "Your Majesty, Da Sikong, what is written on this is a story, the person who was beheaded is Vesudeva I, and this head is his, and the person who wielded the knife is called Gad Fesses, this person can be said to have single-handedly laid the foundation of today's Kushan, and he is the holy king in the history of Kushan." ”

Speaking of this, he swallowed his saliva, and became more nervous, as if the content behind it was very terrifying: "Then there is a spell, which is used by Guishan to appease the spirits of the dead, and every king of Guishan after that." They were all descendants of Gathphises, until this dynasty, the lineage of Gathphises was once again subverted by Vesudeva, and the subversion of him was called Botuo, that is, ...... It's ......"

"Who is it?"

Cao Cao asked, took a deep breath, and looked at him with his fists clenched: "It's today's King of Guishan!" His full name, Bo Ti Vesudeva, should be called Vesudeva II by lineage! ”

Depend on!

Wrong!

Hearing this, it was Liu Xie who reacted the most, because he clearly remembered that when Narendi came to Xuchang, he said that the current King of Kushan is Vesudeva I, how did this become the second again?

The surprise and doubts in his heart were written on his face, but Cao Cao's side was much more natural than him: "Your Majesty, the minister knows what you are thinking in your heart, in fact, this is also reasonable, didn't you say that the original Vesudeva I died from that?" ”

"Gad Fesses."

"Yes, he died at the hands of Gadphisses, and he founded Kushan, and then the wave got rid of his descendants and became king himself, so there is nothing wrong with him calling himself Vesudeva I according to the dynastic lineage."

Cao Cao's explanation was very detailed, and Liu Xie nodded, so that the word "revenge" engraved around the seal made sense, he was tantamount to destroying the enemy's dynasty, of course, you can write "revenge".

But there was another shock in his heart, and that was the death of the real Vesudeva I.

According to the history I have learned, Vesudeva I gave way to Gad Phasias, and in the record, it was because Vesudeva had no children that he chose the most powerful Gathethes at that time from among the ministers, but looking at it this way, it is complete nonsense!

However, the historian's questioning normality also made him list the second possibility in his mind, that is, Vesudeva I really had no descendants, and today's wave of tune is just an impostor.

Only in this way will he arrange this underground water tank so secretly, and the word "revenge" engraved here is probably because he is worried that one day this place will be exposed and used to cover people's eyes.

Either way, it wasn't really important at the moment, at least they figured out the origin of this place, and Liu Xie could see from Cao Cao's face that he seemed to have a new plan.

Sure enough, after a little hesitation, Cao Cao first let the coaxing couch go out, and then he smiled meaningfully at Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, do you think that this expedition to Guishuang seems to have been arranged by God all the way, and it intends to let me be a big man and conquer the foreign country?" ”

"Huh?"

His words were a little inexplicable, Liu Xie shook his head, his eyes were full of puzzlement, but Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a heart: "Your Majesty, let's not talk about the war, just talk about today's underground water palace, we have discovered a huge secret, although the truth cannot be verified, but once this matter spreads, the court of the Guishan Kingdom will inevitably fall into vibration, and ......"

Speaking of this, a touch of sinister water suddenly flashed on Cao Cao's face: "If you don't spread this matter, just by relying on that parchment scroll, it can also become a powerful weapon to coerce the waves, anyway, the thing is in our hands, if he refuses to give in at that time, then we can say that he is an impostor, in this way, hum, Your Majesty, we will not suppress Guishuang if we are not suppressing foreign Yi." ”

"Oh? What is that? ”

"Fight the crime on behalf of the heavens and quell the rebellion of the subject country!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao laughed even more treacherously, but Liu Xie agreed very much with this, because the Marquis of Wuxi was originally a subsidiary of the Han Dynasty!

A traitor is a traitor, and at any time, he can use all kinds of conditions to make excuses for himself.

took the parchment roll, and put away the human skull, Liu Xie and the others left the underground water tank, and at this time, Cao Cao, in order to achieve no proof of death, specially ordered to touch the golden pawn, not only to destroy and burn the water palace, but also to bury it with heavy soil!

Make it as if it didn't exist at all.
