Chapter 375: Blocked
The layer where the treasure is hidden is really empty, and the dungeon, the labyrinth and the imperial tomb in front of it are different, the treasure layer is several parallel and intersecting corridors, and when they get here, Ye Tao and they are much more relieved. The volumes stacked on the floor of the imperial tomb are all things that are more ancient, and they are the out-and-out secret files of the Great Interior, which mainly record the genealogy of the royal family and some things that are big or small, but are more important. If there is anything very surprising in those scrolls, it is that these scrolls may reveal the fact that the bloodline of the imperial family of the previous dynasty is not in the same line, and there was a secret operation due to the fertility of a certain emperor...... This big gossip made Ye Tao and Tan Weixin look at each other.
Do you want to take all these scrolls with you? If possible, Ye Tao naturally wanted to take it away, this kind of time bomb-level scroll would be more peaceful if it fell into his hands. But now, they have absolutely no ability to take this pile of things. It is naturally not difficult to transport it out, but how can such a large number of bright yellow scrolls that have lasted for a long time pass the customs inspection again and again? In this case, they had no choice but to briefly transcribe some important contents, and then put the pile in the imperial tomb, which was never used.
When they arrived at the gate that led to the back mountain, it was almost the afternoon of the next day. With the food and water they carry, they are not lacking, but the boredom of staying in the underground space for a long time is quite obvious. When the bronze door of the back mountain slowly opened and the moist air rushed in, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Commander Qin wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to burst out, but his body only twitched, and before he could make any movement, Zhou Rui's cold hand was placed on his shoulder. "Commander Qin, please ......"
Commander Qin knew how big the gap was between him and the other party, and this Zhou Rui, although he was the most inconspicuous kung fu among several people, his feelings about people's qi and state were really a little too appalling. With such a person by his side, he has no chance at all.
The exit to the back mountain is in a natural cave. The cave was repaired by hand, and later Suo Yong and his party used the cave as a place for work, and some caves were excavated in it for living and storing belongings. When they evacuated, they threw a lot of things in the holes, such as some wood and not very sophisticated tools.
The cave is not very deep, and it will only take a short time to come out of the underground palace until they see the sun. When they walked out of the cave and got used to the sun, Liu Yong whispered, "The person who answered is not there. ”
"Normal, we came out much later than scheduled, and now the nearby garrison must have started to pursue. In their style, they must be holding those armies by the nose at this time and staying away from here as much as possible. But...... I guess someone will stay and get in touch. Ye Tao smiled, not nervous at all.
Sure enough, two reflections soon appeared in the bushes, apparently someone was watching them with a telescope. Then, four men came out of the bushes and ran towards them. Although the time is in a hurry, the few people left behind are really interesting, led by Zhang Wei, the captain of the special battalion, and then a person from the Intelligence Bureau, a person from the Sect Demon Regiment, and another is the son of an old friend of Liu Yong, and he is also a well-known player in the rivers and lakes. Such a combination is enough to connect all parties and play a huge role.
"...... now?" looked at the few unfamiliar faces present, although he could roughly guess what was going on by looking at the outfits, Zhang Wei still omitted the title of Ye Tao and vaguely past. Anyway, everyone knows that Ye Tao doesn't care about this.
"What do you think?" Ye Tao asked.
"It's a bit big now, you guys came out late, and the team that received it had to pull away to attract the enemy's attention, anyway, their brigade can't keep up with us, and the small group can't beat us, so there will be no security problems. At a certain distance, they naturally have a way to adapt. As for us, my suggestion is to find a place to settle down first, wait and see what happens, and then we can go after a few days when the situation settles down and the search is not so strict. Zhang Wei said.
"Then let's do it." Liu Yong looked at Ye Tao and said.
The whereabouts of the princess are unknown. This factor alone makes things more than that simple. They settled in a nearby town, and sent Zhang Wei and the four of them out every day to find out the news. Now it is not only the garrison near Xiling who has intervened in the situation, but the forbidden army has already come. Five thousand forbidden troops entered the valley and summoned a large number of craftsmen to violently crack the dungeon. The bronze door has been chiseled down, and Xiling is using a large number of manpower to crack the maze. When there are enough manpower and the determination to be willing to consume human life, labyrinths and traps are not a problem. The people who solved the maze were able to rescue some of the people trapped in it, but there was no more news. There are too many traps and rockfall traps in the labyrinth, as they are the ones that will continue to function for many years. Many dead people have been excavated, but now there are no experts in forensic anthropology who can determine the identity of others through bone fragments, and the report currently submitted by the forbidden army is that it is possible that the third princess and the others have fallen into the labyrinth, and there are no bones left.
said that although he said so, whether it was the forbidden army or the garrison, he did not dare to slack off a little. In order to track down the powerful bandits, they expanded the search cordon circle after circle, and even the town where Ye Tao and the others were temporarily stationed had recently been inspected several times recently. After all, there are a few characters around them who are easy to expose, such as the third princess, although they have successfully passed several inspections, but if they strengthen the inspection, problems may arise at any time. So, they finally used their brains and prepared to leave first.
The intelligence bureau has been able to get in touch with the local manpower, but the few people who collect basic intelligence really can't help much. At most, they found two or three carriages of very good quality, got horses, and prepared customs clearance documents for them to transport goods. In the destination column, it is empty. Feel free to fill it in by themselves, these low-level intelligence bureau personnel know that they don't know this kind of thing, and it is definitely Ye Tao who understands them. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, they will definitely be held responsible for tracking it down all the way.
"My lord, the roads in the east and southeast directions are now difficult to pass, and the inspection is relatively tight. And our people, the current position should be on the other side of the checkpoint, and the specific direction is not very clear. Ideally, we would decide on a destination and then find a way to play with them. When the time comes, with hundreds of elites, as long as the position is not too inappropriate, there will always be a way to leave Xiling. Now, the inspection is only for the three princesses and their people, and according to the news that has come, it seems that you have been put on the death list. Zhang Wei reported, "If you go north, even if you don't pass through Anqing, it is very dangerous, after all, there are still many people who know adults." The trouble now is that it's hard to get back to where we can control, no matter which direction we go. What do you see, my lord? ”
Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders, looking unbelievable, and then, his eyes went all the way down, staring at one place. "Can we go to Beiyi?"
North Yi? Zhang Wei glanced at the map, which was the capital of Yizhou, the southernmost part of Xiling, and it was at least half a month's journey from here. There was no trouble on the way to Beiyi from where they were, because they were all not so developed state capitals in the southwest of Xiling. However, from there, it seems that it is not so convenient to go back to Dongping or to Chunnan.
Liu Yong came back to his senses and asked, "You don't want to cross Yizhou to Yinan, and then go to Yanan Port from the Tusi area, right?" ”
The area of Yinan was nominally a subject country of Xiling, but this area was full of toasts, fighting with each other, and the land was so barren that it was not suitable for the people of Middle-earth, and Xiling almost completely ignored that place. It is precisely because Xiling can't control Yinan that he has no access to the sea at all. And several major toasts in Yinan have also made huge profits by importing products from various places from Yanan Port and transshipment them to Xiling. Yanan, on the other hand, is a place where both the Seven Seas Trading Company and the Samir family have put a lot of energy into it. Seven Seas Trading Company has not been operating in Yanan for a long time, after all, it is also a subject country of Xiling, and it can only be as low-key as possible to conduct business. But all along, there has been no direct conflict between the Samir family and Xiling, and in Yanan, they have a transshipment branch. This is also the only channel through which Sling Properties can reach the Middle East and beyond.
If you can get to Yanan and get in touch with the Nanami Trading Company or the Samir family, you can go directly by sea. Although in this way, it must be a toss-up, it will take a long time, and whether it is Yinan in the tropical rainforest climate or the sea route, it will be somewhat dangerous, but this is a fairly controllable road after all. Moreover, Liu Yong knew that Ye Tao and Tan Weixin had always been very interested in the development of Nanyang, which was beyond their reach, and this was not an opportunity. In particular, the naval army of the South Seas will be of great use in the future.
"Yes, the tropics may be a bit miasma, but as long as you're prepared, you shouldn't be fine. As for those toasts or something, I believe that as long as you enter Yinan, you should be able to meet those agents of the Seven Seas Trading Company or the Samir family, and they will help solve it. Ye Tao nodded and said, "What do you think?" Let's go see the sea, shall we? ”
