Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Discovery of the Ancient Tomb

The more Liu Ning and Tang Changyu thought about it, the more they felt that things were interesting, and the two of them thought carefully and found some clues, but tomorrow was the day of Han Run's execution, so Liu Ning and Tang Changyu went to Li Shimin early in the morning to report the situation.

So Li Shimin immediately ordered to suspend Han Run's execution, and ordered Tang Changyu and Liuning to investigate the matter again, and to find out the reasons behind Yu Yiguan's sudden prosperity and strength.

Tang Changyu and Liu Ning came to the prison to see Han Run, and before the two could speak, Han Run snorted coldly, a sarcastic smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Hmph, why didn't you kill me, now you know that I am useful?" I know, you want to know why I, Yu Yiguan, have been so rich and prosperous in a short period of time, hmph, I won't tell you about these dog thieves of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Tang Changyu and Liuning didn't care about Han Run's cold words, Tang Changyu continued to persuade Han Run patiently: "Why do you say that you are so obsessed, you are brave and talented, if you can recognize the current situation in time, you will definitely be able to make contributions to my Tang Dynasty in the future, why do you have to be such a pearl secretly cast, black and white?" ”

Han Run didn't speak, just looked at Tang Changyu and Liuning with a sneer, and confronted the two with silence. The jailer came to tell Tang Changyu: "Marshal Tang, the torture tools have been prepared, do you need a small ......?"

Liu Ning immediately interrupted the jailer's words sharply and said, "Absolutely not. ”

Han Run snorted coldly again, glanced at Liu Ning lightly, and said: "Why do you have to act like this, if you want to kill or kill you at will, if I Han Run says a word, I am not this iron-clad man, I don't need the mercy and sympathy of you rats." ”

Han Run's words were full of hostility and disgust, seeing Han Run's stubborn appearance, Liuning still wanted to persuade Han Run, hoping that he would let go, but just about to speak, he heard Han Run say in an extremely disgusted tone: "Princess, you better stop talking." ”

Princess? Liu Ning was stunned for a moment and said: "General Han doesn't want to call the old title princess anymore, now I am no longer a princess of the Turks, I am just a general of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Han Run's tone became even more cold and disgusted, and he raised his eyes and looked directly at Liu Ning coldly and said, "General? Princess, what you said is really light, princess, have you forgotten the days when you were high in the Turks? Princess, you were clothed and fed back then, and you didn't pay any attention to the proposal of nobodies like us, so princess, don't you remember that I am also one of them, heh, of course you don't remember, how can you remember the person who was once trampled under your feet, but how ridiculous, the Turkic princess who was so invincible back then is now bent her knees Li Tang, flattered the Tang Dynasty, married the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, and your brothers and sisters betrayed the lord for glory, turned their backs on the country, and were willing to send people under the fence. You are willing to sweep away your dignity and not be honorable, I Han Run can't do it. ”

Liu Ning was speechless for a while when Han Run said, and only said: "Everyone has their own ambitions." Then he hurriedly turned and left.

After Liu Ning walked out of prison alone, he was upset, the weather was a little gloomy, it seemed that the first snow was going to fall, Liu Ning didn't pay attention to where he went, Tang Changyu followed silently behind Liu Ning all the way, never said a word, just chose to be silent with him.

Liuning unconsciously walked to the foot of a remote barren mountain in Yuyiguan, there was a lush and green cypress tree under the mountain, the branches were strong, Liuning sat down facing the mountain, buried his head in his knees, and hugged himself tightly. Tang Changyu sat down next to Liuning, Liuning heard someone sitting down next to him, and knew that it was Changyu who had been walking behind him, and gently leaned his head on Changyu's shoulder, Changyu stretched out his hand and hugged Liuning, this silence is warmth.

Liuning's voice was low, and he said softly to Changyu: "Many people think like this, right?" ”

Tang Changyu didn't answer, just replied to Liuning and said: "Don't care so much, it doesn't matter what others think, the choices you make are right, don't listen to those unclean words, as long as you are still you, I will always be there." ”

Liuning nodded, smiled sweetly at Tang Changyu, Tang Changyu's words always had a warm power in Liuning, and soothed her emotions a lot, Liuning sat up from Tang Changyu's arms, Tang Changyu diverted the unpleasant topic, and sat under the big tree with Liuning and chatted, so happy that he forgot the hour for a while.

When he reacted, the sun had set, the sky was even darker and gloomy, the moon was blocked from showing light behind the dark clouds, Tang Changyu and Liuning returned hand in hand, Liuning stood up, and inadvertently swept his eyes over the surrounding barren mountains, but found that the plants here were different from other places, even in winter, they were extremely lush and verdant.

Liuning told Tang Changyu about this discovery, and Changyu also felt very strange, Liuning said: "When I was a child, I heard some rumors in the market, and the old people said that where there is something underground, the growth of plants and crops will be particularly gratifying. ”

Chang Yu will be suspicious of this speculation, the two will tell the emperor about this strange discovery, Li Shimin immediately ordered to send someone to search the mountain early tomorrow morning, the snowflakes fell, the matter of searching the mountain is even more difficult, after two days and two nights of thorough search, ** actually found a hidden tomb in the place of the mountain, and this tomb is sealed by a huge tomb stone, no one can say that they can open it foolproof, Li Shimin felt that Han Run did not mention anything about this tomb, there must be a problem, but how to interrogate Han Run did not speak.

However, when Li Shimin convened everyone to discuss the matter, Zhao Nan jokingly said: "When I was a child, I heard the old lady who served at home tell some strange things, and one of them said that the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were divided into one side, the world was in turmoil, and the turmoil continued, and the vassal states launched one war after another in order to expand their territory, and the military expenses to support this war came from a mysterious team, and almost every prince of the vassal states would secretly raise a fine horse behind his back to go all over the country to find the imperial tomb, and use the income from tomb robbery to fill the military expenses. Therefore, all the princes and powerful countries actually rely on the cause behind them to develop without seeing the light behind them. It's a bit similar to the current situation. ”

Zhao Nan was stunned after saying this, seeing that the people around him also reacted the same as himself, as if this kind of speculation could best explain the current situation.

Li Shimin immediately took advantage of the fact that everyone was there to personally interrogate Han Run, Han Run was escorted, but he was very arrogant and refused to kneel down and salute, just smiled contemptuously as before, and asked coldly: "Li Shimin, have you finally decided to kill me?" ”

Li Shimin smiled confidently, stood up and looked down at Han Run and said, "Wouldn't it be easy for you to think about it?" It's just that you are dying but you are noble, but I don't know that you are as small as an ant to the Tang Dynasty, I already know that you use the ancient tomb to make a fortune, and you still want to hide it? Your last hole cards have been revealed, and you are not even qualified to compete with me. ”

Han Run's expression of hesitation for a moment was not noticed, Han Run knelt on the ground, and bowed down reverently: "Long live my emperor, the minister knows his mistake, the minister's previous actions are really stupid, the minister is willing to make up for the merits, go to open the imperial tomb, take out the treasures, and pay tribute to Your Majesty." Han Run knelt down in a reverent manner, his forehead pressed against the ground, and no one noticed a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Shimin's original intention was to let Han Run go down to the imperial mausoleum alone, but Han Run shirked the fact that there were many treasures under the imperial mausoleum, and hoped that there would be a helper to transport them from the imperial mausoleum to the outside so that the ** outside. Li Shimin weighed left and right, and ordered Tang Changyu to go to the tomb with Han Run, Liu Ning didn't believe that Han Run could have this change of consciousness in a short period of time, coupled with the previous incident in prison, Liu Ning was very uneasy and suspicious, and insisted on walking with Tang Changyu, even if everyone dissuaded him, they couldn't resist Liu Ning's temper, and Tang Changyu could only compromise.

Han Run groped for the roots of the cypress tree that Liuning and Tang Changyu had done that day, and then took Liuning and Tang Changyu to the direction of the tombstone, and when the three of them arrived, the tomb door was indeed wide open. Han Run walked at the forefront, Tang Changyu and Liu Ning walked side by side behind Han Run with weapons in hand, and the three of them were speechless all the way.

Walking down along the tomb road, there is another tomb door in front of you, the tomb door is closed, and there is a monster painted on it, the dragon head, the snake god, the body is long and coiled together, exposed outside with seven claws, the appearance of teeth and claws, and the mouth also shows sharp fangs, which looks like a claw is missing at the closure of the two doors. While Tang Changyu and Liu Ning were carefully examining the appearance of this monster, Han Run unbuttoned his shirt and pressed his chest against the vacancy in this door, and the stone tomb door opened.

Although Tang Changyu and Liu Ning had seen countless enemies on the battlefield and had rich experience, they really had no experience in going down to this ancient tomb for the first time, and they were a little curious and surprised when they looked at Han Run. Han Run's chest had a claw print that was exactly the same as that monster, but the paw print was dark black, and there were faint red marks around it, which looked a little strange and hideous under the dim light of the ancient tomb.

Tang Changyu was a little strange and asked, "This ......?"

Han Run walked in front of himself, and he seemed to be talking to himself and as if he was telling Tang Changyu and Liuning: "I have lived in this poor Yuyiguan since I was a child, when natural disasters and man-made disasters were continuous, and everyone's life was very difficult. When I was a child, I had a high heart, and I didn't want to stay in this poor mountain and bad water, so I went out to apprentice, but what I learned was what others said about robbing tombs. ”

"The first time I went down to the ancient tomb was a Shang Dynasty tomb, the monster on the door you saw was the first time I went down to the ancient tomb, I was scared to the soul, I was injured by this monster in a panic, thanks to God's care, the king of Hades detoured, I was fortunate to pick up a life, but the misfortune and blessing depended, so I also brought out a lot of treasures from the ancient tomb, and obtained a lot of wealth."

"I returned to Yu Yiguan, I was fortunate to become the leader of our Yu Yiguan, I used this craft to help Yu Yiguan's families make a fortune, I walked through all kinds of tombs all the year round, and I was infected with corpse poison and yin, so I was as pale as you saw, and then I found out that God may bless me Yu Yiguan, there is an imperial tomb in this poor mountain and bad water, I took someone to develop it, and hid the treasure from my tomb robbery here, this is it."

Han Run suddenly stopped, a palace room appeared in front of him, there were four copper tripods in the four corners of the room, and there was a crystal coffin bed in the middle of the room, but there was no coffin on it, but a few exquisite antique copper vases, Han Run stepped forward and turned the one on the far left, and the crystal coffin bed opened, revealing a pitch-black entrance.

"You have to be careful." Han Run turned his head and said to the two.
