Chapter 293: Map of the Imperial Tomb
Qian Qianqian followed Xiao Mohan's footsteps and walked forward in the direction pointed by the dumbbell, and before she could go far, several black-clothed people jumped out of the forest.
These people are like flies that see blood, they can't get rid of it, they just don't swear to give up until they reach their goal, and they even have the intention of dying with Xiao Mohan, which is simply terrifying.
"Now that we are all trapped in this forest, if you don't want to die, take a step back and tell the general who is under your command? This general will not blame you for the past, and will take you out of this forest with you. ”
Xiao Mohan is calm and composed, every word is sonorous and powerful, this forest is dense, if there is no thing to guide the direction in his hand, he will go around and around, and finally end up in a dead end, looking at these black-clothed people scurrying around in the forest, it doesn't seem like they know how to get out.
"General Xiao, our task is to take the lives of you and the people around you, as for whether we can live or not, it doesn't matter if we can go out, so this little favor of yours can't buy us, so let's do it directly."
One of the black-clothed men sneered, his attitude was very resolute, it seemed that they had made up their minds, even if they couldn't go back, they would kill Xiao Mohan.
Fortunately, these black-clothed people were scattered, so there were not many of them at the moment, and when they made a move, Xiao Mohan immediately jumped up, and after a few moves, he unexpectedly gained the upper hand, and quickly solved these black-clothed people.
"Before the other Assassins arrive, let's go."
Xiao Mohan was paralyzed with words just now, and then he made a quick decision, just because he was afraid that the remaining people in black would be attracted to him, and it would be difficult for them to get out when the time came.
Qian Qianqian strode after Xiao Mohan, running out of breath, sweat soaked the clothes behind her, it was getting late, and the light in the forest was dimming, but at the moment they had not yet reached the boundary of the forest.
"It's going to get dark, and if we can't go out before dark, we'll have to wait until tomorrow."
Qian Qianqian raised her head and looked carefully, the forest here is deep and dense, if you are in a hurry at night, there must be a lot of inconvenience, and there are many dangers.
If they didn't have torches in their hands, they wouldn't be able to get out of this forest with just such a faint moonlight, but once they lit the torches, the light would inevitably attract the assassins.
"There seems to be a cave over there, let's go, go over and have a look."
Xiao Mohan pondered in his heart for a moment, turned his gaze to the depths of the jungle, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he whispered.
Qian Qianqian also discovered the cave, and immediately followed, walking into the cave, an inexplicable coldness came to her face, and there was a slight musty smell in the air, which was very unpleasant, and she had not been popular for a long time.
"Let's spend the night here tonight, and we'll be on our way tomorrow."
Xiao Mohan picked up a corner and asked Qian Qianqian to sit down and rest, although he didn't want to stay here, but there was no way at the moment, it was safer to stay.
Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, she knew Xiao Mohan's concerns, so she didn't say much, she was slowly sitting down against the stone wall, and some dents on it made her wonder.
"What do you think this is?"
Qian Qianqian touched it carefully and found that there seemed to be something carved on the stone wall, which was a little disorganized, but in fact, it was tangible and tangible, and it should not be simple.
Xiao Mohan took out the fire fold from his sleeve, slowly approached, looked up and down a few times, and suddenly changed his complexion, and his expression became subtle.
"This is a map of the royal mausoleum of Xiao Kingdom, how could it be engraved here?"
Xiao Mohan frowned, and his tone was full of doubts, the royal mausoleum is the place where the kings of the Xiao Kingdom are buried, the structure is complex and secretive, the purpose is to protect the burial goods in the coffin when the king is buried, and the topographic map must not be passed on.
"A royal mausoleum?"
Qian Qianqian was taken aback, after she crossed over here, it was the first time she heard this thing, thinking that the imperial tombs played in modern times and TV series were all luxurious and mysterious, unimaginable, but she didn't expect to see life this time.
"Yes, the royal mausoleum has always been guarded by the forbidden army personally selected by the emperor, everything in it is kept secret, the craftsmen who built the mausoleum at the beginning, after the mausoleum was repaired, they were all buried alive, so the terrain inside is not known at all except for the royal family, but how can this topographic map come out?"
Xiao Mohan explained 1510, a little puzzled in his heart, he knew very well the character of the people in the royal family of Xiao State, even if the princes were fighting for the throne at the beginning, they had never fought the idea of the imperial tomb, so this complete topographic map still appeared here, it was too weird.
"What about burying the craftsman alive? There is no impermeable wall under this sky, and it must be who engraved the terrain inside in order to remember the mausoleum, but why did you choose this place? ”
Qian Qianqian didn't have a good temperament, although she knew that the royal family had always been ruthless, and those civilian craftsmen were ants in their eyes, and no one cared about the lives of the ants, but she was still a little unhappy for those craftsmen.
"This matter must not be simple, if this topographic map spreads, then the imperial tomb will be in danger."
Xiao Mohan said as he took the dagger and slashed it down on the wall, gradually destroying the topographic map.
The imperial mausoleum is not trivial, there are not only the bones of the emperors of the Xiao Kingdom, but also countless burial goods, all of which are priceless, if someone gets this topographic map, they can easily enter the imperial mausoleum, and if those forbidden army guards are unfavorable, there will definitely be a big incident.
"Actually, this can be regarded as you people reaping the consequences, those ordinary people are also people, and it is strange that so many people have to be buried alive to build an imperial mausoleum, and they will not be retributed."
Qian Qianqian looked at Xiao Mohan's actions, and couldn't help but sneer, a little yin and yang.
Xiao Mohan didn't say anything, but completely destroyed the topographic map, then put away the dagger, and when he returned to the general's mansion, he must investigate the matter thoroughly, he wanted to see who was behind the trouble.
A cool breeze poured in from the entrance of the cave, Qian Qianqian couldn't help but shiver, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and slowly sat down in the corner.
Because of the previous poisoning, her body became very cold, as long as it was a little cold, she felt extremely cold, and now she should be lying in a spacious room, sleeping on a soft bed, wrapped in a warm quilt, but she was forced into such a cold cave, and she was powerless to change.
Xiao Mohan saw her strangeness, took off his robe, draped it on her, and then sat down beside her, reaching out to hug her into his arms.
"So, is it still cold?" Xiao Mohan knelt in Qian Qianqian's ear, and spit out a sentence lightly, his voice was low, revealing indescribable calmness.
Qian Qianqian rubbed in his arms, like a little wild cat afraid of the cold, hiding in Xiao Mohan's arms, sheltering from the wind and rain with his arms.
Xiao Mohan's palm was attached to Qian Qianqian's side face, some rough calluses rubbed against her cheeks, and her palms were hot, just enough to make up for the coldness in her body, and before she knew it, she gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the sunlight shone on Qian Qianqian's face through the cracks in the cave, she slowly opened her eyes, and tried a few times before she came to her senses.
Xiao Mohan felt the movement in his arms, and let go of his hand a little, Qian Qianqian yawned, took off the robe draped behind his back, and stuffed it to Xiao Mohan.
"Thanks to you last night."
Qian Qianqian held her knees with both hands and looked at Xiao Mohan's face carefully, if she guessed correctly, Xiao Mohan should not have slept well all night, her face was tired, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Xiao Mohan moved his body and was about to raise his arm, but he tried several times, but he couldn't succeed, he hugged Qian Qianqian all night last night, and his arms and legs were all sore.
"What's wrong with you?"
Qian Qianqian saw that Xiao Mohan had not made a sound, and couldn't help but reach out and shake it in front of his eyes, her eyes widened, and her face was full of doubts.
Xiao Mohan raised his eyes and stared at Qian Qianqian's face, with a bit of anger between his eyebrows, his brows twisted into a "eight", and his expression seemed to be very painful.
"You seem to have slept well last night."
After a while, Xiao Mohan spit out a sentence lightly, did not answer Qian Qianqian directly, his eyes were suddenly lowered, his arms hung down on his legs, and his body remained motionless.
"It's okay, it's just that you don't have a bed to sleep comfortably, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Qianqian grabbed Xiao Mohan's arm and couldn't help but shake it, Xiao Mohan sighed, lowered his head and frowned, his expression became more and more painful.
She immediately made a move, and suddenly realized that she had caused trouble, she should have made Xiao Mohan's arms and legs numb last night, so Xiao Mohan couldn't move today.
"I, I didn't mean to."
Qian Qianqian glanced at Xiao Mohan cautiously, her tone was a little slurred, and she couldn't even say anything.
"It's out of the way, just rest."
Xiao Mohan tried to move a few times, and after a while, his arms and legs were finally not so uncomfortable, he slowly got up, put on his robe, and his face gradually softened.
"It's dawn, let's go, or maybe the assassins will find this cave too."
Qian Qianqian poked her head out, glanced out a few times, and reminded her in a low voice, Xiao Mohan responded lightly, raised her feet and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
As soon as they stepped out of the cave, one by one the black-clothed people appeared at the entrance of the cave, it seemed that it was really a coincidence, Qian Qianqian was still worried in her heart before, but now it has come true, and she can't hide from it.
"You go into the cave, and I'll leave it here."
Xiao Mohan let go of his hand and turned his head to inform Qian Qianqian, Qian Qianqian was a little hesitant, but seeing that there were a lot of guests here, she couldn't help if she stayed, but would drag Xiao Mohan down, so she turned around and retreated into the cave.
These black-clothed people waved the knives in their hands one after another and rushed towards Xiao Mohan, Xiao Mohan took out the dagger, and unceremoniously, with his own strength, blocked these black-clothed people outside the cave.
After a few rounds, Xiao Mohan solved a few people in black, but he also suffered a little bit of flesh and skin, although in terms of martial arts, these people are not his opponents, but they are better than many people, and it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, even if Xiao Mohan's martial arts are strong, it is very difficult to take advantage of one as ten, and he can't take advantage of anything at all.
