Chapter 342: Mourning Underground Palace
"Ahem!"
Mu Bai drove the donkey cart to the big stele tower of the mourning tomb in Yuquan Mountain.
The archway in the middle of the road is engraved with the inscription "Royal Forbidden Land, death to trespassers!" Warnings.
This is the entrance to the mourning mausoleum, and it should be guarded.
However, because few people come to the mourning tomb except for the Qingming memorial season, the gatekeeper will lazily run to the mourning tomb in the hot and cold season.
A flat avenue at the foot of Yuquan Mountain leads directly to the mourning mausoleum, and both sides of the avenue are filled with pines and cypresses.
The little prince of peace sat on the walking donkey cart, staring blankly at the various stone men and stone beasts placed on both sides of the Shinto.
Along the way, Mu Bai was constantly coughing, which made the little prince of peace feel very annoyed.
He turned his back to Mu Bai and said, "Are you sick?" β
Mu Bai sneered: "Yes! It won't be long before you'll be like me, and we'll all die here. β
The little prince of peace whispered: "Isn't that good!" β
Mu Bai said: "What did you say?" β
The little prince of peace diverted the topic: "You see that there are twelve pairs of stone beasts lined up on the road ahead, sitting and standing on two sides, in order, lions, pigs, camels, elephants, unicorns and horses..."
Mu Bai said: "It's all dead people's things, what's so beautiful?" β
The little prince of peace said: "You send me to the temple of sacrifice, I want to see the statue of the queen." β
Mu Bai said: "Don't be mistaken, I'm not your coachman, I'm a murderer, you're my hostage!" β
The little prince of peace said fearlessly: "What's the matter? β
Mu Bai said: "Aren't you afraid? β
The little prince of peace replied: "Bypass the city wall on the west side of the treasure top to avoid the guards." β
Mu Bai said: "Have you been here before?" How do you know so much? β
The little prince of peace said: "No, I just did my homework before coming." β
Mu Bai said: "It's a pity that I can't take you to the sacrificial hall, we have to go to the underground palace first, and then I will bury you inside." β
The underground palace of the mourning tomb is the underground building where the coffin of Princess Aya is placed, just under the treasure top, backed by Yuquan Mountain, sitting on Jinling Peak, in front of the Baishui River, surrounded by peaks and mountains, the water spring is murmuring, it is the feng shui treasure land of "Tianshou Longquan".
When the little prince of peace heard that Mu Bai actually wanted to enter the underground palace, his face changed and said: "Trespassing into the underground palace is a great disrespect to the imperial concubine, and the nine clans should be exterminated." β
Mu Bai saw that the little prince of peace roared like a fighting, and he asked curiously, "What is your identity?" β
The little prince of peace said: "I am Ji Ping'an, the only son of the first emperor, and my biological mother, Empress Aya, is buried in the underground palace. β
Mu Bai coughed eagerly for a while when he heard this: "You are the prince, but you can't even afford a bun in the Acropolis." β
The little prince of peace said: "I ran out secretly. β
Mu Bai said: "Why did a prince escape from the palace and go to the Acropolis? β
The little prince of peace said: "I studied with the master in the Beilu Academy, yesterday was the day of the queen mother's sacrifice, and the father refused to bring me to pay tribute to the queen mother, so I came out by myself!" β
Mu Bai was still a little skeptical of the words of the little prince of peace, and he continued to test quietly.
He asked a lot about the palace, and the little prince of peace answered them fluently.
Mu Bai suddenly laughed: "I, Mu Bai, have been carrying it all my life, but I didn't expect that this time I would hit a big luck and pick up a treasure." It's a pity that you're dying, and I don't know if your death will satisfy that person. β
"Stop!" A middle-aged mourning guard suddenly burst out from behind a stone statue and stopped in front of Mu Bai's donkey cart.
Mu Bai glanced at the person who came, and coughed on his chest without answering.
The middle-aged guard said, "Don't you know that this is the royal forbidden land?" The intersection where you came in said that the trespasser is dead, are you all illiterate? Don't hurry up and go back the way you came. β
Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and snapped his fingers.
"Whoosh-"
Two crossbow arrows flew out from behind the donkey cart and stabbed into the chest of the middle-aged guard.
Seeing the middle-aged guard fall to the ground, Mu Bai drove the donkey cart over him.
The middle-aged guard let out a scream and vomited blood to death.
The little prince of peace was sitting on the donkey cart and was almost knocked off by a bump, and he subconsciously grabbed Mu Bai.
A group of black-clad and masked killers emerged from both sides of the road, following the donkey cart on both sides and continuing towards the mourning mausoleum.
Mu Bai said to the killers: "Solve all the guards in the mourning tomb, and then one team pretends to be guards to stay on guard, and the second team follows me into the underground palace to wait for the connector." β
The little prince of peace was shocked when he heard Mu Bai's words: "You said that you were going to kill all the mausoleum guards here, who are you?" β
Mu Bai said: "Just as your identity has given me a great shock, my identity will also give you some surprises." I am a protΓ©gΓ© of Murray, the son of the avant-garde, whose name is Mu Bai. β
The little prince of peace said disdainfully: "It's just a doorman!" β
Mu Bai said: "What's wrong with the doorman?" Whether a person is great or not depends not on his origin, but on what he has done. β
The little prince of peace said: "What do you want to do?" β
Mu Bai said: "Destroy the Apocalypse City, restore the imperial system, and rebuild the imperial capital!" Isn't that exciting? β
The little prince of peace said: "Now that the emperor is one, why do you have to restore the imperial system?" β
Mu Bai said: "What do you know as a child? β
The killers searched for the mausoleum guards in the various barracks of the mourning mausoleum, and once they were found, they would not hesitate to kill the killers.
It was dinner time, and the mausoleum keepers from all over the place were rushing to the restaurant to prepare for the meal.
It's a pity that they won't be able to eat the last supper again.
No sooner had the killers finished their costumes than they heard a knock on the door. After dark, ordinary people will not come to the forbidden place of mourning.
The guards disguised as the killers opened the door and saw a young woman standing in front of the door, holding a girl of four or five years old.
The fake guard blocked the door and wanted to prevent Li Zhien from entering the mourning tomb, Li Zhien immediately took out the gold token of the Wei Wangfu and held it in front of the guards.
The Wei King Floating Leaf is powerful in Apocalypse City, and the gold token issued by the Wei King's Mansion is comparable to the Holy Decree, and those who hold the gold medal can run rampant around Apocalypse City.
When the guards saw the golden token of the Wei Wang's Mansion, they couldn't figure out Li Zhien's situation, so they let her enter the mourning tomb first.
Li Zhien found that the guards here all had wooden expressions, and she thought that the mausoleum guards were like this, so she was not too suspicious.
In the hall of worship there is a giant statue of Aya Imperial Princess.
Li Zhien took Li Jirou here, but failed to find the little prince of peace.
She didn't know that she and her daughter were already in danger, the guards in front of her were all dressed as killers brought by Mu Bai, and the original mausoleum guards had all been killed, and their bodies had just been filled into the well.
At this moment, the floating leaves stepped on the cyclone of Hongmeng's aura and also came to the mourning tomb.
As soon as he arrived, he smelled a thick smell of blood.
Dozens of people were killed in an instant, and the blood stains could be cleaned up, but the smell of blood left in the air could not hide from the nose of the floating leaves.
Sensing that there was something abnormal inside the mourning tomb, the floating leaves did not appear immediately, but hid and observed the situation inside.
After receiving the news that the little prince of Ping An had run away from home, he immediately went to Beilu Academy, and then came out of Beilu Academy to find it along the way.
At this time, it was already dark, and there was some gloom and horror in the mourning tomb.
Li Jirou looked at the dignified and solemn statue of the imperial concubine in the sacrificial hall and said, "Is that the mother of His Royal Highness?" β
Li Zhien said: "Yes! β
Li Jijiu said: "But why isn't Your Highness here?" β
Lee was also worried, and the guards told him that a child had never been here.
This is the answer that Mu Bai instructed the killers. Mu Bai is no stranger to Li Zhien and knows that she is a nosy person. If it weren't for the fear that things would change, he would have ordered someone to kill Li Zhien here.
Li Zhien heard the guards say that the little prince of Ping An had never been here, so she guessed that the little prince of Ping An might have lost his way on the road.
She knew that when the little prince of peace arrived at night, his eyesight would become very poor and he would have asthma, so she took Li Jirou to leave the mourning mausoleum and continue to search for it along the way.
As soon as Li Zhien left the mourning mausoleum, the guards disguised by the killers began to show their original forms.
They sneakily ambushed and underwent secret posts in various parts of the mourning mausoleum to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in.
However, these dark whistles have no secrets in front of the floating leaves.
With his astonishing perception and inhuman hearing, the floating leaves can easily see through the camouflages carefully arranged by the dark sentinels.
By listening to the conversations of the killers, he learns that a team of killers has infiltrated the dungeon. Moreover, according to the killers, they already knew that a child who claimed to be the prince had also entered the dungeon.
Floating leaves came to the entrance of the dungeon and saw two killers guarding the door.
He summoned Hongmeng aura, suddenly wrapped the two, flew into the sky, and left the mourning tomb far away, throwing the two from a height of 100 meters and throwing them on a barren mountain.
The two were wiped out before they even had time to shout.
After dealing with the two guards, Fushengye quietly entered the dungeon.
The torches in the passage of the underground palace had been lit, but the killers were all concentrated in the hall where the coffin of the Aya Imperial Concubine was placed, waiting for Mu Bai's instructions.
There are occasionally one or two guards on the passage, and they will be spotted in advance by the floating leaves.
With Hongmeng aura in hand, the floating leaves are very handy to clean up these little minions, and it is effortless. Originally, after Fushengye came to the underground palace, he planned to kill all the bandits with a single knife and rescue the little prince of peace.
Just before he was about to make a move, he overheard Mu Bai talking to the leader of the killer.
From their conversation, he could tell that Mu Bai had temporarily decided to change the location of the joint, and that he was waiting for an important person here.
And what this important person planned was to spread the plague in Apocalypse City, and take advantage of the chaos to seize imperial power and restore the imperial system.
Floating Leaf's rash action at this time would inevitably make the connector dare not show up, so it would be very troublesome for him to try to find them again. In order to find out the culprit behind the scenes, Fushengye did not immediately kill.
After cleaning the bodies of several sentinels, he changed into the clothes of one of the sentries and disguised himself as their accomplice and went to the hall of the dungeon.
In order not to attract attention, he wore a hood and held the brim very low.
He had put his black robe and golden mask into the space-time secret room, and now he revealed his true face.
However, no one in Apocalypse City knew the true appearance of the floating leaf, so he was not afraid of being recognized.
After the golden mask was suddenly taken off, the floating leaves were relieved, as if they had become an ordinary person again.
After the little prince of peace came to the underground palace, he became very calm and did not say a word.
The more than forty killers in the dungeon were all silent.
Mu Bai felt a little depressed in anger, and he called the killer leader to his side: "Find a reliable person to help me bring this bag of things to the imperial capital and hand it over to a grocer who has a stall under the old locust tree in the West Market." Remember that he is a dwarf. β
Killer Leader: "Understood! β
He immediately arranged for people to handle the matter, and Fushengye watched as a killer who was as light as a swallow took the package in Mu Bai's hand and left.
It was inconvenient for him to go and snipe the man in the hall immediately, so he silently wrote down the package in the killer's hand, and prepared to let the Painting Heart Workshop track it down as soon as he left here.
