Chapter 301: The Imperial Tomb is Stolen

Since they don't take it, then you go and take it. ”

Xiao Mohan suddenly raised his eyes, said very firmly, and glanced at Shao Huaigu, his eyes revealing indescribable mystery.

"Have you figured it out? If I mention it, there will be no room for repentance, and whatever happens will be borne by us. ”

Shao Huaigu didn't approve of it in his heart, he had just sat on the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and now was the time for Taoguang to raise obscurity, like this kind of thing, no matter what, he didn't dare to rush ahead.

Presumably Xiao Mohan also knows his situation, and now that he says so, there must be Xiao Mohan's considerations, so he also wants to ask carefully, I'm afraid that Xiao Mohan can't think about it for a while.

"I know your concerns, just because you just became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, you have no merit in your hands, your position is unstable, you must do something first, and this time the imperial tomb was stolen, it is an opportunity for you to show your skills and win the emperor's trust, so even if it is tricky, we have to give it a try."

Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, and saw through what Shao Huaigu was thinking at a glance, Shao Huaigu was not a timid person, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the court, this time was indeed an opportunity.

"Okay, when the court is early tomorrow, I will recommend myself, but the fact that the imperial tomb was stolen is strange, the imperial tomb is closely guarded, and the person who can sneak into the imperial tomb must be extraordinary, so we need to make some preparations."

Shao Huaigu was a little apprehensive in his heart, and thought about it in his heart, in fact, if he was alone, he was not sure to find out about this matter, and without Xiao Mohan, he would never agree to take it.

"I'll send Yu Feng to investigate first, but what has the imperial tomb lost, can the emperor mention it?"

Xiao Mohan was calm and calm, there was no superfluous expression on his face, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was an indescribable majesty between his eyebrows.

"The emperor only said that most of them were the burial objects of the emperor, what gold, silver and jade, rare treasures, and others, but he didn't say much."

Shao Huaigu thought about it carefully, his tone was full of suspicion, in fact, he also felt that in the court, the emperor did not completely explain this matter, but in front of the courtiers, he did not dare to ask.

"I understand, it's inconvenient for me to come forward in this matter, so it's up to you to take it, it's no longer appropriate, I'll help you secretly, don't worry."

Xiao Mohan seemed to have thought of something in his heart, and gave Shao Huaigu a look, and his tone was full of indescribable certainty.

Shao Huaigu didn't say anything more, took a sip of tea, got up and left, and just opened the door when he bumped into Qian Qianqian.

"Miss Qian." Shao Huaigu looked at the decoction in Qian Qianqian's hand, and his heart suddenly understood, and he greeted him lightly, and Xiao Mohan in the house also heard the movement and walked to the door.

"Master Shao, I didn't know you were here, so ......" Qian Qianqian was a little embarrassed, and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Xiao Mohan's words.

"Come in." Xiao Mohan looked at Qian Qianqian, and gave a faint order, Shao Huaigu immediately understood, bowed slightly towards Qian Qianqian, and left without looking back.

Qian Qianqian was a little stunned, but she still walked in and put down the decoction that had become warm in her hand, as if she had something to say, but she didn't know where to start.

"You heard my conversation with Shao Huaigu just now." Xiao Mohan picked up the decoction, raised his head and took a sip, and asked unhurriedly, his tone full of certainty.

"Well, the theft of the imperial tomb should not be simple, we found the map of the mausoleum in the cave earlier, could it have anything to do with this matter?"

Qian Qianqian also made no secret of it, what she said was also what Xiao Mohan thought in her heart, now that Yueji is in the capital, Ouyang Kun is also back, and the situation in Beijing is undoubtedly more complicated.

"Since someone has gone to great lengths to steal the imperial tomb, the purpose is not just property, there must be something else, but the emperor did not say it explicitly."

Xiao Mohan drank the rest of the decoction, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and he and Qian Qianqian looked at the door at the same time.

"General, the emperor has sent an edict, please come to the palace."

Wu Shun stood at the door and reported carefully, Xiao Mohan suddenly raised his eyes, although he was a little surprised, but it was also expected.

Xiao Mohan changed into a crimson court dress, a green silk crown, a clear and tall posture, a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, although his face was a little pale, but he still couldn't hide his heroic demeanor.

"The emperor summoned you to the palace, eighty percent of them are looking for you to discuss the theft of the imperial tomb, you must be careful."

Qian Qianqian stood outside the screen, and when she saw Xiao Mohan walking out, she couldn't help but tell her that although he had always done things safely, Qian Qianqian still remembered him.

"Don't worry, I'm in control." Xiao Mohan lightly hooked his thin lips, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, his every move was very calm, and his facial features were atmospheric and tough, making people dare not approach easily.

Qian Qianqian bowed slightly, sent Xiao Mohan to the gate of the General's Mansion, and saw Xiao Mohan get into the carriage, then turned around and went back to the courtyard.

The carriage went all the way to the gate of the palace, Xiao Mohan entered the palace, deliberately slowed down his pace, pretending to be weak and weak, so that everyone in the palace could see that his body was indeed not well.

The emperor was waiting in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Xiao Mohan went in to salute the emperor, the emperor frowned, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and responded a little impatiently.

"Ninth brother, you haven't been able to go to the morning court for a few days, how are you, are you feeling better?"

The emperor looked Xiao Mohan up and down, his eyes were full of temptation, although he was concerned, but he couldn't hear the slightest concern.

"Brother Xie Huang cares, although the younger brother has not completely recovered, he is finally much better, so he can walk into this Heart Nourishing Hall alone today and come to bow to the imperial brother."

Xiao Mohan remained silent and responded lightly, as if he didn't care about the affairs of the imperial court at all, and only asked about the affairs of the imperial tomb.

"That's good, I really don't get used to it without you in this court, since your body is much better, then I can rest assured."

The emperor squeezed out a smile from his face, as soon as he heard this, he knew that his mouth was wrong, but Xiao Mohan did not pierce him.

"A few days ago, there was a big event, I don't know if you heard some rumors, this matter is not trivial, I think about it, only to consult with you is more secure, so I have not summoned anyone, only you alone."

The emperor was faintly close to Xiao Mohan, and met Xiao Mohan's gaze from time to time, with an inexplicably friendly attitude, but always a little vigilant and calculating.

"More trust from the royal brothers."

Xiao Mohan bowed slightly, his face showed a hint of detachment, respectful and unruly.

"The imperial tomb was stolen, and it not only lost the rare treasures of the first emperor's burial, but also a treasure map."

The emperor finally couldn't help it, and told the inside story, Xiao Mohan was surprised for a moment, and he didn't know that there was such a thing.

"Treasure map? What kind of treasure is hidden? Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, his tone was gentle, but a little tentative.

"It's a batch of gold mines, which is quite ominous for Xiao Guo, but the world has changed greatly, and my father told me about this before he died, so that I would bury this treasure map in the imperial mausoleum, so that no one could get that batch of gold mines, and Xiao Guo would not be welcomed at all, but I didn't expect that the treasure map was stolen."

The emperor was a little distressed, brushed the green beard on his chin, frowned, and looked worried.

"I see, it seems that my father still believes in the emperor's brother the most, but the younger brother never knows."

Xiao Mohan said lightly, in fact, he knew in his heart that the first emperor trusted the emperor, but it was the ninth son who seized the heir, the emperor had clever means and the most powerful power, and when he saw that he was about to take the throne, the first emperor had to explain this matter to him.

"This is all in the past, and the immediate priority is to find out the person who stole it, take back the treasure map, kill people, and never let the treasure map get out."

The emperor had no time to take care of this, his tone was a little irritable, and he said it categorically, with a heavy murderous aura in his eyes, as if he would be ambushed all over the field at any time.

"What does the royal brother mean?" Xiao Mohan didn't say it explicitly, since the emperor specially summoned him, he must have a plan in his heart, and he didn't want to be smart in front of the emperor.

"I want to leave this matter to you." The emperor was not polite, looking at the entire court, only Xiao Mohan was the most suitable, but Xiao Mohan was still recuperating from his illness, and he might not be able to do it, so the emperor was a little worried.

Xiao Mohan was embarrassed, and slowly lowered his head, the light and dark under his eyes were mixed, which made people completely unable to see it.

"Ninth brother, don't you want to?" Seeing that Xiao Mohan was still hesitating and not thanking him for a long time, the emperor couldn't help but ask.

"The younger brother naturally wants to share the worries and solve the problems for the imperial brother, since the younger brother's body has not completely healed, and this matter is so complicated, if the younger brother does it alone, I am afraid that it is not very sure, and it will also attract suspicion from the court, which is really inappropriate."

Xiao Mohan said humbly, and at the same time reminded the emperor that no one outside knew about the treasure map, thinking that there were only some gold, silver and jewelry missing in the imperial tomb, if this matter was publicly handed over to Xiao Mohan, it would undoubtedly make people feel that the emperor was making a big fuss, and wondered if there was a bigger secret in the imperial tomb.

"You're right, it's me who didn't think it through, but right now the people in the court are panicking, no one dares to take over this matter, and it's not a way to delay it any longer, since I can't hand this matter over to you, then who else can I hand it over?"

The emperor was distressed, he thought about it all night, and finally chose Xiao Mohan, and now Xiao Mohan said so, things seem to have entered a dead end again.

"Brother Huang doesn't have to be so anxious, as far as my brother knows, there are many talents in the court, the theft of the imperial tomb has just come out, and many people are still confused, wait for them to slow down, and raise this matter with you tomorrow morning, maybe someone will stand up."

Xiao Mohan's face did not change, and he comforted unhurriedly, still in a speculative tone, which made the emperor gradually relax his vigilance.

"I hope so."

The emperor sighed and shook his head, with a helpless face, the whole person seemed to be thinner.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, my father's tomb was stolen, and my brother is also very angry, so my brother will definitely help in secret and find the murderer as soon as possible."

Xiao Mohan raised his eyes suddenly, his tone was mixed with a little anger, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, his eyebrows condensed with a layer of frost, and there was a touch of cunning in his deep eyes, which made people completely incomprehensible.

"This is very good, I know that you are my best brother, stabilize the frontier for me, and now you will also help me stabilize this Xiao country, you can rest assured, when the matter is clear, I will not treat you badly."

The emperor was overjoyed and praised Xiao Mohan, but Xiao Mohan just smiled faintly and didn't hear a word.
