It was getting dark.

In Shouchun City, except for Lingyun Pavilion and a few pavilions and taverns that are open at night, most of the shops are closed.

The streets were almost devoid of pedestrians.

Cao Shuo, accompanied by Zhou Hao, Cai Ji and Wei Tu, walked towards the east gate of the city.

Cao Jun, who was guarding the city gate, saw that he was coming, and hurriedly opened the city gate.

"Maybe not coming back tonight." Cao Shuo instructed Cao Jun near the city gate: "If you want to come back, I will also call the door in person." ”

Cao Jun near the city gate bowed with his fists and sent him away.

Walking out of Shouchun City, Cao Shuo asked Zhou Hao, "How far is the tomb from here?" ”

"Not far, three or four miles." Zhou Hao replied.

"Is it big?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"It's not big, and it's not small if it's small." Zhou Hao said: "Of course, it can't be compared with the tomb of King Liang. ”

"How many treasures do you estimate you can get out of it?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's hard to say." Zhou Hao said: "Only after entering can you judge how many treasures there are." It depends on who the owner of the tomb is. ”

"Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, I really don't know what amazing characters can be buried here besides Liu An, the king of Huainan." Cao Shuo said: "At most, it's just an official eunuch. ”

"Not necessarily." Zhou Hao said: "Judging from the location of the tomb, it should be a prince and general, but I don't know if it is a magistrate." ”

"The prince and the general, buried here?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It is impossible for local officials to choose such a good burial." Zhou Hao said: "Even if they choose, the Han family will not agree." ”

For tombs, Cao Shuo is a complete layman.

Zhou Hao said that he was a prince and a general, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

But no matter how Cao Shuo thinks about it, he can't figure out who buried it here more than a hundred years ago.

Don't walk too long for three or four miles.

Under the guidance of Zhou Hao, Cao Shuo and others came to a drum pile that was not very large.

"This is it?" Cao Shuo asked.

"This is it." Zhou Hao replied.

"If it weren't for you, someone else would never have seen that this would be a tomb." Cao Shuo asked, "How did you tell that there was a tomb here?" ”

"Ever since Gongzi took us under his command, we have been pondering the location of the tomb all day long." Zhou Hao said: "Recently, we have found that all the tombs of emperors and generals must be related to celestial phenomena and landforms. ”

"Childe, please take a look." Pointing to Bagong Mountain in the night in the distance, Zhou Hao said: "Under the night, what is the statue of Bagong Mountain?" ”

"Dragons." Cao Shuo replied without thinking about it.

"This is the dragon vein." Zhou Hao looked up at the sky again.

Cao Shuo also looked up at the sky.

"It's only when the moon is full that you can see that this tomb is different." Zhou Hao said: "On the night of the full moon, the moonlight shines directly on the tomb, which happens to fall at the entrance. ”

"You found the entrance?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I found it, but there are many mechanisms, so it's better to make another secret passage from somewhere else." Zhou Hao said: "We have already laid a good secret path, if Gongzi decides to start excavating, I will let people go down to explore the way." ”

"Let's get started." Cao Shuo said: "Tell those who go down to pay attention to the organs. ”

"Thank you, childe." Zhou Hao arched his hand, and then instructed a few soldiers from the Jinjin Camp: "You guys go down to explore the road first." ”

Several soldiers agreed, and entered the tomb through the tunnel.

Sitting not far from the tomb, Cao Shuo asked Zhou Hao, "How many ancient tombs have you found in Huainan?" ”

"This one is the most recent, but it's not an ancient tomb." Zhou Hao said: "Twenty or thirty miles to the south, there is a bigger one. ”

"Did you dig it?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Nope." Zhou Hao said: "We all find out how many tombs there are nearby, and we will not do it until we find out the details." ”

"When you encounter a tomb in the future, just tell me after digging it." Cao Shuo said: "When I was short of money, I didn't have the heart to think about whose tomb it was. ”

"I remember everything that Childe explained." Zhou Hao responded.

They waited outside the tomb for a full hour, but the few people who went down did not come up.

Cao Shuo asked, "Is there something wrong below?" ”

"It's been a long time." Zhou Hao instructed a captain who touched gold: "You take dozens of people down to have a look." ”

Captain Touching Jin responded with his fists, beckoned dozens of soldiers from the Touching Gold Battalion, and went down to the tomb.

"How many people are there in your gold camp now?" Cao Shuo asked Zhou Hao.

"At least, there are seven or eight hundred." Zhou Hao said: "The recent joiners are all veterans I recruited from all over the world. These people don't have to practice at all, and they are more familiar with the tomb than they are in their own homes. ”

"You haven't encountered anything strange when you go down inside?" Cao Shuo asked, "For example, a dead person suddenly came to life, or is it some other monster or something?" ”

"Nope!" Zhou Hao shook his head and said, "Everyone is dead, how can they be resurrected?" ”

"In other words, you don't believe in evil at all?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"It's much easier to steal from the dead than it is to steal from the living." Zhou Hao said: "The dead are lying there, and you will take their things, and they will not stand up and say no to you." If it is a living person, it is called to catch a thief, and it is to report to the official, and it is annoying to death. ”

"No wonder you took a few people to the tomb of Emperor Xudu to rob the tomb." Cao Shuo smiled: "It turns out that I think the things of the dead are easier to steal than the things of the living." ”

"Childe, don't mention it again." Zhou Hao said: "If it were now, I would never go to the tomb of Emperor Xudu." ”

"Why?" Cao Shuo asked.

"The imperial mausoleum was built after Duke Cao welcomed His Majesty to Xudu." Zhou Hao said: "Cao Gong's soldiers, it is when there is a shortage of money, how can he invest too much treasure in the imperial tomb? ”

"You've figured it out now." Cao Shuo asked, "What about the feng shui of the Xudu Imperial Mausoleum?" ”

"I can only say so-so." Zhou Hao looked left and right, lowered his voice and said to Cao Shuo: "I'll tell you the truth, don't blame Gongzi." ”

"You say." Cao Shuo said.

"I've also been to the grave of the Grand Prince." Zhou Hao said: "That's really the Imperial Dragon Vein. ”

Cao Shuo's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Zhou Hao, "What do you mean?" ”

"The Han family has exhausted its qi, and judging from the tomb of the Taigong, it happens to be the feng shui that undertakes the world." Zhou Hao said: "I didn't say anything about this, and when Gongzi listened, don't take it too seriously." ”

"Nonsense, how can I go to my heart." The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth twitched: "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future, the Cao family has been loyal and good for generations, and they can't afford to bear such a sin!" ”

Zhou Hao was about to answer, but a soldier stumbled out of the tomb: "Son, general, it's not good......"
