Chapter 546: Ancient Tomb

If everyone knew, wouldn't the treasure have been stolen a long time ago?

"That's the news that my subordinates have inquired about."

King Chu looked at the other guard again, the huge coercion made the guard's forehead sweat break out, and he replied tremblingly, "What the subordinates heard about is the same as that of the Lin guard, and most of them know it, but they don't know the specific location, and they won't look for it if they want to." Moreover, the treasures of the previous dynasty will not be easily discovered by the people. ”

Hearing this, the king of Chu breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly, this is good, so that he still has a chance. Then, he reacted with hindsight, according to what the spy said, isn't the treasure really there?

He instantly rejoiced, summoned the ministers and announced the great news, and asked them what they meant. After hearing this, the ministers were also overjoyed, and congratulated one after another, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." With such a huge wealth, I think about it, my Dongxuan Kingdom will definitely be able to prosper and enjoy peace forever. ”

Chu King Long Yan Dayue immediately said, "Reward!" ”

Some other ministers saw that the previous one was rewarded, so they were naturally not far behind, and stood up and complimented again, the king of Chu was tired of hearing it, and waved his sleeves impatiently, "Okay, don't say it, I came to you to come over, I came to find a way together, you Aiqing think, what should we do about this matter?" ”

"Weichen feels that without further ado, His Majesty should immediately send someone to look for it."

Weichen seconded.

A large number of seconded the proposal, and the king of Chu also meant this in his heart, and the decision was made at the moment.

In order to show that he attaches great importance to this trip, the king of Chu specially ordered troops in person, and all the people selected were elites. A group of people form a top-secret force and secretly make their way to the address of the treasure.

"Your Majesty, this is the specific route that his subordinates have explored." The guard held up a piece of paper, on which some patterns were densely drawn, and all the routes finally converged in one place, where the treasure was buried.

"Tombs?" Looking at the two words marked on the map, King Chu frowned slightly, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

Since ancient times, it has been known that places related to burial chambers are often accompanied by mechanisms and dangers. Not to mention the place where the treasures of the previous dynasty were stored, I also know that it must be full of dangers.

But in the face of huge interests, who can easily give up?

The road in front of them became more and more tortuous, and the solemnity on the face of the King of Chu became deeper and deeper, and before the sky was completely dark, they entered a dense forest. This is also the last leg of the road before reaching the tomb.

Seeing that his subordinates were already showing fatigue, the king of Chu immediately made a decision and asked people to stop their journey and rest here for a while.

Hearing the news that they could rest, although those guards didn't show it on their faces, their hearts were actually happy. You know, at the end of the day, they haven't eaten a drop of water, and their stomachs are already rumbling with hunger.

Soon, a bonfire was lit in the dense forest, and the rich smell of meat spread in the air. Unlike the guards of the King of Chu, who feasted on it, Xie Yutang's people hid in the shadows, hiding their bodies with dense branches and leaves, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the group of people who were talking and laughing, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

When the king of Chu set off with his people, Chi Xia secretly handed over the news, and the carrier pigeon flew to the north where Xie Yutang was located with the whereabouts of the king of Chu.

It was even deeper, everyone fell into a deep sleep, and the watchman still dutifully roamed the streets.

In the darkness, the lights of the Xie Mansion were particularly visible. Through the faint candle flame, Xie Yutang looked at the secret letter in his hand with a solemn face.

"How?" There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the Nine Princes stepped into the study, and after seeing the secret letter, the pace under his feet couldn't help but speed up a little.

"See for yourself." Xie Yutang casually handed the secret letter to the Nine Princes, and rubbed his eyebrows quite tiredly.

The Nine Princes couldn't wait to unfold the letter and glanced at it at a glance, "As expected, the King of Chu will not let go of such a big fortune." In this way, our plan can be implemented. ”

Unlike the excitement of the Nine Princes, Xie Yutang seemed to be a little absent-minded, and he only let out a low hum when he heard the words.

"Yutang." The Ninth Prince patted Xie Yutang on the shoulder, "I know what you're thinking, but people's hearts will change, and now that we are fighting with him, even for the sake of the people of Dongxuan Kingdom, you can't be soft-hearted." ”

They had already planned to set up an ambush on the way for the king of Chu to find the treasure, and took advantage of the terrain to set up an ambush and wipe out the king's manpower.

After all, it is a brother, and when it comes to the juncture, Xie Yutang is a little unbearable.

The Ninth Prince also knew that this kind of thing could only be figured out by himself, so he no longer persuaded him, but sighed helplessly and left the study.

Xie Yutang was the only one left in the room, his eyes staring at the secret letter, and he sat all night. It wasn't until the morning light was shining and the oil lamp on the table had exhausted the last drop of oil that he stood up.

Pushing open the window, the golden sunlight shining through the clouds cast a halo on Xie Yutang's face, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath of the morning air.

When he went out, he regained the iron-blooded General Xie, as if yesterday's weakness had never happened.

Seeing Xie Yutang like this, the Nine Princes knew that the other party had figured it out, and now that the troops of the King of Chu had already set off, they no longer delayed, and immediately brought their henchmen and secretly followed the other party's men.

The so-called map itself was also the fake news they sent people to spread, so although the king of Chu took a lot of detours, they were able to keep up with each other smoothly.

From time to time, the sound of birds fluttering in the dense forest can be heard, and the atmosphere of the two sides is completely different, and the situation is about to erupt.

In the dead of night, when everything was silent, Xie Yutang suddenly waved his hand, "Do it!" ”

With his order, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and countless arrows shot in the direction of the King of Chu.

Rao is King of Chu's people are all elites, and this is also the time when the whole person is the most tired, and he didn't react for a while, and countless people died under the rain of arrows.

The sound of breaking wind and screams were mixed together, and the king of Chu was also awakened by this movement, he looked around vigilantly, and suddenly found an ambush hidden in the dark.

"Xie Yutang." Squeezing out these three words from between his teeth, King Chu saw the familiar figure in the crowd at a glance, and knew that he was probably in the middle of a trick.

Although he gritted his teeth with hatred, he also knew that he could not help the other party at this time, and only by finding a way to escape could he think in the long run.

"Let's go!" The king of Chu immediately made a decision, and asked his subordinates to surround themselves to resist the arrows, and the group did not fight with Xie Yutang's men and horses, and fought and retreated as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the place where they were resting was not far from the ancient tomb, and when they saw the stone gate covered by vines, a touch of surprise crossed the eyes of the King of Chu, and he didn't even care about the pursuit behind him, and rushed into the stone gate first.

Xie Yutang's people were still desperately chasing and killing before, but when they arrived in front of the stone gate, they all stopped.

The crowd slowly parted, revealing a path, and Xie Yutang walked out with his hands in his hands.

This is the place where he and the Nine Princes discussed the burial of the King of Chu. The two sides were fighting before, and for the sake of safety, Chi Wan stayed in the rear and did not come forward, but now it was time for her to make a move.

This ancient tomb is fake, it was built by her artificial craftsmen, it looks decent on the outside, but in fact it is a labyrinth inside, here is the entrance, and the only exit.

Now the king of Chu has entered the inside, and he wants to catch him, like catching a turtle in an urn. It's just that the road inside is tortuous, and the designer Chi Wan needs to lead the way, otherwise Xie Yutang's people will go in, maybe they will be lost in it before they are caught.

"Wanwan, thank you for your hard work." Xie Yutang looked at Chi Wan with an imperceptible distress in his eyes. He always felt that the war with the King of Chu was a matter between their men, and he was unwilling to involve Chi Wan in it.

But after all, he and the Nine Princes are also flesh and blood, and they really lack skills, so the matter of building an ancient tomb can only be handed over to Chi Wan to do.

"It's not hard, you and the Nine Princes are called hard, I'm just doing my best." Chi Wan hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and patted the back of Xie Yutang's hand soothingly, "Let's go." ”

With that, she took the torch and led the way.

The air inside the tomb was turbid, and at that time, in order to consider people walking in it, some air holes were specially left. Chi Wan was extremely glad for that decision at this time, otherwise, at this time, they wouldn't even be able to light the torches, wouldn't they be blind inside, what else would they catch King Chu?

Because he knew that there was no mechanism inside, Xie Yutang's people walked exceptionally smoothly, but the King of Chu on the other side was different.

In order to seize half of the tiger talisman in the hands of the queen mother, the prince once sent people into the underground palace, and lost countless people inside, and finally picked up a life in embarrassment.

With such a lesson from the past, the King of Chu was extra careful when he traveled, for fear of touching some mechanism.

But the more he moved forward, the more suspicious he became. It stands to reason that the place where the treasures of the former dynasty can be stored must not be a simple place. But he's been gone for so long, not to mention that he's in danger, and he hasn't even broken his feet.

"That's not right." The King of Chu suddenly raised his right hand and stopped the people behind him from continuing.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The guard who was leading the way asked curiously.

King Chu looked at the darkness in front of him, and a deep meaning crossed his eyes, "Something is wrong." ”

The guard looked around and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"What agencies have we encountered along the way?"

"Perhaps...... It was the people of the previous dynasty who were too confident and thought that this place was hidden, so they did not set up a mechanism. The guards were relieved, but these words did not dispel the doubts in the heart of King Chu.
