Chapter 682: Nothing
Ye Shisan was very excited, he had a hunch that Xiao Yao must have fallen into this gap.
But the gap is very narrow, and after cleaning it, you still can't see the situation inside. Ye Shisan threw a broken stone into it, and only after two breaths did he hear the sound.
He lay down in the gap and called out loudly: "Xiao Yao! Xiao Yao! ”
Unfortunately, he listened intently, and did not hear a reply from anyone below. Could it be that he guessed wrong, Xiao Yao is not below?
finally found something, Ye Shisan was definitely unwilling, so he gave up the clue.
But there is no rope here, so do you really want to throw a person down?
Ye 13 simply ordered everyone to untie the belt and tie it into a long strip. Then, underneath, a relatively large stone was bundled and placed in it to measure the depth.
I heard the sound of a stone slamming to the ground, and that was the end of the rope.
In this way, the depth is measured, and it is estimated to be about one or two zhang high. Ye Shisan's choice of a henchman with a relatively short stature happened to be Mu Feng, and let him drag the rope and hang him in.
The rope on it slowly lowered to the bottom.
Ye 13 put his ear close to the gap and asked loudly, "What's the situation below?" Is there any news of Marshal Xiao? ”
The wood wind that went down had already lit the fire fold and surveyed the stone chamber.
Xiao Yao's traces, Mu Feng didn't find them. However, traces of human survival were found, because the bones left by the rats below were still relatively fresh.
"Lord Ye, Marshal Xiao must have been down there, but now he is not down there."
"What the hell is going on down there?"
Mu Feng shouted loudly: "Lord Ye, there is a stone room below, and the surroundings are empty, and there is nothing. ”
Ye Shisan didn't want to believe it, he finally found a clue, how could Xiao Yao be gone. He decided to go down and see for himself, there must be something else down there.
So they took the rope back again. sent Ye 13 down again, and there were five other henchmen who went down with him.
The elite soldiers above were all nervous, if they found Marshal Xiao, it would be a reward for everyone.
But there are also some of Yang Yin's henchmen, mixed with the elite soldiers, and secretly decided. If Xiao Yao is really discovered, it will be a desperate battle to annihilate the whole army, and he will be killed on the spot.
After all, Xiao Yao has disappeared for several months, and it is impossible to remain unharmed, maybe he is seriously injured, or he is already a corpse.
And on the mountainside, the elite soldiers who quietly slipped down the mountain to report the news had already returned to Yumen Pass at this time.
After he dismounted, he galloped all the way to the barracks, and let people immediately spread the word to Yang Yin. Yang Yin heard that it was the elite soldier who went out today, and now that he turned back, he knew that he must have discovered something.
Yang Yin couldn't wait for the man to come in and report it, so he walked out in person.
When the elite soldier saw Yang Yin come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "My lord! Lord Ye found a gap on the mountainside, and it was very likely that Marshal Xiao was among them. ”
"Is man alive or dead?"
"The subordinates don't know, but the subordinates heard that there was a discovery there, so they hurried back and told the adults."
Yang Yin patted him on the shoulder and praised, "You did a good job!" ”
Instead, Yang Yin took his own manpower, like a whirlwind, out of Yumen Pass, and went straight to Baojing Mountain.
Because he was afraid that many people would leak the news, Yang Yin brought his own descendants this time, as well as the personal guards left by His Royal Highness the Prince.
Although there are not many people, only about a hundred, but if you want to strangle the previous people, it is still enough. After all, among the first 100 elite soldiers, there were also many of their own people.
And here Ye Thirteen, he went down to the stone room and carefully investigated.
There are traces of human existence in the corner, and there are some mouse bones piled up, which looks like it was not so long ago.
That means that there were people here who did survive.
What about people?
Ye 13 set his eyes on these four stone walls.
According to his predictions, this should be a burial chamber. Since it is a tomb, there must be an organ, Xiao Yao may have discovered the organ, and he has already gone to other places.
Ye Thirteen dispersed and began to look for mechanisms on the stone wall. It didn't take long for them to discover the location.
When they arrived, there was a stone room with a stone platform, but now the stone platform was gone, and it was empty, and there was nothing.
Ye Shisanjiang carefully surveyed the four walls, as well as the upper and lower stone walls, but never found the location of the mechanism.
Moreover, this stone chamber can be seen to the end at a glance, and there is no trace of human existence at all.
Ye Shisan was unwilling to give up and insisted on searching carefully. He didn't believe that Xiao Yao would escape, could it be that Xiao Yao had found the mechanism and went out?
It's a pity that until Yang Yin took people and rushed to the mountainside of Baojing Mountain, Ye Shisan didn't find any trace of Xiao Yao.
Yang Yin also came down in person and carefully explored all the places, but still didn't find it.
"Lord Ye, why don't we leave the two of us here, and the others go back first, and bring more food tomorrow and a rope to come down and find it."
Although Ye Shisan was in a hurry to find Xiao Yao's whereabouts, what Yang Yin said was the safest way.
"Okay, let's go back first."
When he returned to the mountainside, Yang Yin came over and said to Ye Shisan, who was thinking heavily: "Lord Ye, you haven't found Marshal Xiao yet, so don't send a letter back to Beijing first, lest the princess be happy." ”
Originally, Ye Shisan had been thinking about the structure of the tomb, and considered whether to bring tools and dig up the tomb with force.
Hearing Yang Yin's temptation, he came back to his senses and smiled: "The news must be sent, it doesn't matter if you find Marshal Xiao or not, but if you find it, you can't hide it from the Queen Mother." ”
Ye Shisan looked at it, Yang Yin looked disapproving, and said, "Didn't Lord Yang tell His Royal Highness the prince the news?" ”
How could Yang Yin not tell His Royal Highness the Prince, he knew best His Royal Highness the Prince's obsession with Xiao Yao's life and death.
If the opening room is dug up, it is good that Xiao Yao's body can be found, but if Xiao Yao is still alive, it will be a big trouble.
The prince was willing to connect with the enemy and treason, and vowed to put Xiao Yao to death. Yang Yin didn't dare to imagine how angry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be if he found out that Xiao Yao was not dead?
Now I only hope that any gold, silver and jewelry in the tomb are not rare, but there will be no food.
Ye Shisan returned to Yumen Pass, he was a little excited and couldn't rest. After quickly writing a secret letter and sending it back to the capital, he began to send his subordinates to inquire around.
Since there is a tomb in the belly of Baojing Mountain, there is a tomb in the belly of the mountain, so it is a big gesture to open the mountain as a mausoleum. It means that the people buried in this must not be simple people.
And in the county annals of Yumen Pass, since there is no record, maybe there will be some folklore.
If you can know whose tomb it is and his life, you may be able to find clues to the mechanism and find Xiao Yao.
