The Nine Princes realized that it was not good, the King of Chu was already powerful now, if he got these treasures again, it would be tantamount to adding wings to the tiger, and when the time came, whether they could keep the northern land was a big problem.

Therefore, when Xie Yutang and the others came back, they excitedly said that they should hurry up and send troops, and the Nine Princes would be so entangled. Guilt, to be exact. He felt that because he was not doing well for a while, his companions were in a difficult situation, and he was a little afraid to face them.

The candle burned out a long wick, and the Nine Princes were not in the mood to care, so they sat under the candle flame, like a beautiful sculpture. After a long time, he let out a long sigh, knowing that this matter could not be delayed any longer, he had to discuss it with Xie Yutang immediately, and then come up with the best solution, otherwise, it would be too late.

After the watchman sounded the last gong and drum, the Nine Princes barely fell asleep, because he was thinking about things, he only slept for less than two hours before he woke up, washed up a little, and the Nine Princes immediately took the scroll with him and went to find Xie Yutang and them.

When he arrived, he found that Xie Yutang was not there, and Chi Wan was helping the cook in the kitchen, and when she saw him coming, she greeted him with a smile, "The prince is here." ”

The Ninth Prince snorted and glanced around, "What about Yutang?" ”

"He's gone to the barracks, lord, do you have something you want to tell him? Wait a minute, he'll be back soon, let's eat here today. ”

Although his heart was anxious, the Nine Princes had no choice but to agree, but his face was tense all the time.

When Xie Yutang came back from the barracks, it was half an hour later, and after the three of them had a quick breakfast together, they went to the study. The Nine Princes' expressions were extremely solemn, which made the other two people nervous, and they sat and looked at each other.

Seeing that no one spoke, the Nine Princes took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "I have bad news here. ”

The hearts of the two couldn't help but chuckle.

Xie Yutang said in a deep voice, "To put it bluntly, we can stand it." ”

"Yes, lord, let's say it directly."

The Ninth Prince closed his eyes and said word by word, "The matter of the ancient tomb may have been mistaken. ”

Before the two could react, Chi Wan asked blankly, "What's wrong, is the address?" It doesn't matter, just trap people, we've done it. ”

It was Xie Yutang, who heard the caution in the tone of the Nine Princes, and knew that there must be something greasy in it, so he couldn't help frowning, "But there is a problem with the ancient tomb?" ”

The Nine Princes moved their eyes to him, if it was usual, he would definitely praise a few words, but he is not in this mood now, Xie Yutang's cleverness is not a day or two.

"That's right."

Ji Wan was a little nervous, "What's wrong?" ”

The Ninth Prince looked at her, and slowly moved his gaze to Xie Yutang's face for a while, and said softly, "That ancient tomb actually exists. ”

This sentence was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the blue, which shocked both of them.

It's just a random place to trap people, is it true? And such good luck? Doesn't that mean that the King of Chu can really get wealth from it?

Chi Wan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Lord Wang, are you mistaken?" ”

The Nine Princes smiled bitterly and rubbed the corners of his forehead, "I also hope I'm mistaken, but what is recorded in the ancient books is clear, that ancient tomb is real." ”

As he spoke, he spread out the ancient book, and the three of them all gathered together.

"What is this, Yutu?"

On the ancient books, some messy lines were also drawn, and the Ninth Prince had been studying them for several days, but he knew more about this than Chi Wan, "That's right, this is the specific location of the ancient tomb, here is the layout direction, and the items that accompany the burial." ”

Chi Wan looked at it, and suddenly found that something was wrong, and sighed in surprise, staring at the words on it with her eyes, the Nine Princes glanced at her meaningfully, knowing that the other party should have seen something.

"This, these are jewels, I know, what are these piles?" Ji Wan pointed to that place, and she couldn't believe it in her heart, because that idea was really a bit ridiculous.

But the Nine Princes confirmed her conjecture, "This is a soldier's armor, this is a high-precision weapon improved by the previous dynasty." ”

As soon as the voice fell, the quiet pin drop in the study could be heard.

Both of them gasped in unison, to be exact, Chi Wan was the most surprised, Xie Yutang just kept a calm face, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

After a long time, I heard Chi Wan's tentative voice, "Is this armor the kind of chain mail that is as light as cicada wings, but very strong, and can't even pierce a sword like clay?" ”

"The chain mail has not been handed down, the previous dynasty was more heavy on craftsmanship, all craftsmen must sign a confidentiality agreement, and, once they enter the arsenal, they are not allowed to come out, and they can only stay in it for the rest of their lives, so when the previous dynasty fell, this group of people also followed the burial, and the chain mail was lost. Although I haven't seen it, the style on it looks very special, and it is more in line with the record in the book, so it should be. ”

The Nine Princes' face was so gloomy that they could almost drip water, and he turned to Xie Yutang with the book, "Have you heard of it?" ”

As a military general, Xie Yutang is naturally more enthusiastic about armor and weapons, and once studied chain mail by himself, because the armor worn by soldiers is too bulky now, although it can protect himself, but it also greatly affects his mobility.

If you can get this kind of chain mail, then your combat power will definitely increase by a notch. Unfortunately, he has never seen real chain mail come out.

"No, but this ...... I'm afraid it's chain mail. ”

The Nine Princes raised their eyebrows, wondering how he was so sure.

Xie Yutang calmly explained, "When I was a child, there was a painting in my grandfather's study, and the chain mail on the painting was exactly the same as this. ”

It was really confirmed, but a few people were not very happy, and the atmosphere was a little heavier than just now. The people who followed the King of Chu in were all elite soldiers, and with the blessing of this chain mail, wouldn't the combat effectiveness improve by leaps and bounds?

"That's not the worst, come and see this." The Nine Princes felt that the two of them were not shocked enough, and pointed to another pile of things, this pile Chi Wan also noticed just now, knowing that it was a weapon, and Xie Yutang's eyes kept falling on it, and his lips pursed into a straight line, which looked very harsh.

"Weapons." He spat out two words from his thin lips.

Looking at the number of this pile, it is enough for all the people brought by the King of Chu to be equipped, armor, weapons, and everything is available. Really, even God is standing over there.

Several people's faces were ugly. Chi Wan didn't understand much of this, looked at the expressions of the two, and asked in a low voice, "The weapon is nothing, they may have brought their own weapons over, I think, this armor sounds more powerful." ”

The Ninth Prince couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Wanwan, look at this weapon again." ”

Chi Wan looked at it seriously, and said with some shame, "I can't see anything." ”

After all, she is a woman, and her understanding of weapons and armor is far inferior to that of the Nine Princes and Xie Yutang, but even so, she also saw that this batch of weapons should not be simple, and the words of the Nine Princes confirmed her conjecture.

"This batch is also a batch of weapons made by the previous dynasty, and the lethality is very strong, after the fall of the previous dynasty, many people are also looking for this batch of weapons, but they have not been able to find it, but it turned out to be hidden underground." The Nine Princes told the story.

Ji Wan was frightened by the sentence of the dynasty production, and asked cautiously, "Are the previous dynasty productions really so good?" ”

The Nine Princes added, "The craftsmen of the previous dynasty were indeed epoch-making, so much so that after the fall, several surrounding countries wanted to find the craftsmen who served the royal family back then, but unfortunately they never found them, and even the descendants of the craftsmen could not be found. Many people speculate that this is because the royal family of the previous dynasty was unwilling to let these technologies fall into the hands of others, which broke the inheritance. ”

Chi Wan secretly thought, so cruel, her country was ruined, and she had to pull the craftsman on her back, no wonder she wanted to perish.

However, now is not the time to sigh at how powerful these craftsmen are, but to think about what to do next, since the ancient tomb really exists, then there is a high probability that the armor and weapons on the record also exist.

When the two were talking, Xie Yutang didn't say anything, and Chi Wan couldn't help but ask, "Yutang, what are you thinking?" ”

Hearing this, the Nine Princes raised their eyes and looked, "But what did you find?" ”

Xie Yutang did find some problems, he looked up and asked Chi Wan, "Do you remember that when we were chasing and killing the King of Chu, they opened a stone gate?" ”

Chi Wan nodded, of course she remembered, at that time, she was still wondering, why there was such an organ in the underground palace that she supervised and built, and now it seems that it should be the real entrance to the ancient tomb, but I don't know, why Xie Yutang asked.

"Below that entrance, there are smooth and neat steps, but of course it's just a casual glance, because the light is too dim." Xie Yutang wanted to speak and stopped.

The Nine Princes couldn't help but gasp, in this way, they didn't even have a reason to coax themselves.

There is an entrance, and there are steps, it is basically certain, it is an ancient tomb, thinking of this, the Nine Princes hurriedly accused, "Since you found out, why didn't you point it out earlier?" ”

Xie Yutang sighed silently, he found out that he had found out, but he didn't pay attention to it, mainly because of the preconceived words of the Nine Princes, which led him to believe that the ancient tomb was fake, so he missed it.

It's probably fate.

The three of them were relatively silent, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

"General!" A voice suddenly came, followed by a person who looked like a lieutenant rushed in, he didn't notice the atmosphere in the room, and said excitedly, "When are we leaving?" ”

Xie Yutang had already ordered them when he went on patrol in the morning, let them prepare, maybe they would go to battle immediately.
