Chapter 31 Tomb Robbery Order
When I was sure that Feilai Mountain was not a mountain but a tomb, Cao Lao Liu felt extremely panicked when he thought of the strange sound coming from the mountain, and Cao Lao Liu thought that there must be a gourd in it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I looked at the cypress trees on the earth hill and found that the diameter of the cypress trees on the earth hill is about 30 centimeters, and the growth rate of cypress trees is very slow, if it can grow to the current diameter, it will take thousands of years. Look at the scale of this tomb, I think this is definitely not the tomb of ordinary people, how can ordinary people have such a great ability to build such a tomb, even if they have that ability, there is a very strict system for the scale of the tomb in ancient times, and there are very strict regulations on what kind of cemetery people with different identities should build, and the tomb in front of them must be a regulation that only princes and generals can enjoy.
Cao Lao Liu was in trouble for a while, and he didn't know what to do, so he kept walking around, muttering as he walked: "What can I do!" ”
Looking at Cao Lao Liu's nervous expression, I feel that he must be very entangled, since I was named the captain of the gold school by the old man Li, Cao Lao Liu's job is to cooperate with me to rob the tomb, but I haven't done it before for various reasons, so Cao Lao Liu has been idle, including Xiao Linzi, and now I have encountered a tomb of this scale, Cao Lao Liu must want to show it, but he is afraid that there are people in the ancient tomb, so he hesitates, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.
"I said Cao Lao Liu, don't walk around, what are you struggling with?" I looked at Cao Lao Liu and couldn't help but nag.
Cao Lao Liu stopped, sighed and then arched his hand to me: "Captain Song, since I followed you with Xiao Linzi, I am waiting for you to take us to open a big tomb one day, so that I can show myself to Lord Li, but if there is a coffin or something in this tomb, what can I do, if I don't dig the tomb, I am worried that it will take a long time, and others say that I eat dry rice." That's not how good. ”
"This is easy to do, go back and talk to Master Li, see what he thinks, but you are too worried, we haven't heard anything since we came here, it must be that group of soldiers who heard it wrong." I comforted Cao Lao Liu, thinking that Cao Lao Liu's worries were unnecessary, since I came here, I really didn't hear any other sounds except for the sound of birds and wind from time to time.
Cao Lao Liu nodded: "Let's go back and listen to Lord Li's thoughts, if we really want to open the tomb, let Master Li send us more people." ”
I patted Cao Lao Liu on the shoulder and said to him, "Okay, I think we should go back and discuss it with Li Shanchang." ”
Then we walked down the mountain and came to the front of the carriage, Cao Lao Liu helped me and Yang Zhi into the carriage, and he also jumped into the carriage to prepare to drive back to the barracks, but at this time, there was a terrifying roar from the mountain, and then I heard the birds on the mountain chirping, I hurriedly put my head out of the car, Yang Zhi also jumped out of the carriage at once, and pulled out the Tang knife with a pop, at this time the terrible cry came from the mountain again, and our horses seemed to be frightened, and kept neighing, As the terrible scream came, I could vaguely feel the carriage trembling.
Cao Lao Liu tried his best to control the horse, and then shouted at Yang Zhi: "I said brother, hurry up and get in the car, let's go." ”
Yang Zhi observed for a while and didn't seem to find anything, put the knife away, jumped into the carriage, Cao Lao Liu whipped the horsewhip, the car ran quickly, I opened the curtain on the carriage and stretched out my head to look at the flying mountain again, I felt strange in my heart, what is going on with this mountain? Even if there is a gourd in it as Cao Lao Liu said, but with such a thick sealed soil, why is the sound still so loud?
When we walked into the big tent, we found that Old Man Li was there to discuss things with several sergeants, and when we saw us go in, he hurriedly dismissed everyone and let us sit down.
Old man Li sat there and looked at me with a smile, which made me feel hairy in my heart, he took a sip of tea from the teacup and then put down the teacup and asked, "Captain Song, have you gone to Feilai Mountain?" ”
"I went, but it wasn't a mountain, but a big tomb, and it looked like it was thousands of years old!" I stared at the old man's face and said, and after I finished speaking, I found that the old man's expression that was still smiling just now had become extremely serious.
The old man stroked his beard and said: "This is a good thing, just now we were still talking about the lack of military salaries, and the shortage of food and grass, and it is a godsend to find a big tomb at this time, Captain Song, do you think you are interested in opening the tomb?" ”
I was about to say something, but Cao Lao Liu rushed to face the old man in front of me and said, "Lord Li, we also heard a terrifying sound when we were on the mountain, I'm afraid there is probably a coffin in that tomb!" ”
"Gourd?" Old man Li heard that there was a gourd and fell into contemplation all of a sudden, I looked at Li Shanchang and thought to myself that this old man would not care about our life or death, he had to let us go to the tomb, if there really was a gourd, it was not a joke, when I was in the Xuanming Divine Palace, I had seen the power of dry corpses and other things, if there was really a gourd in this tomb, and the sound was so loud, if you entered the tomb, you would definitely die.
There was silence in the big tent for a while, we all stared at Li Shanchang, expecting what he could say, Old Man Li sat there and thought for a long time, and finally stood up and laughed, looking at Old Man Li's smile, I seemed to have some ominous premonitions.
Old man Li walked in front of me with a smile and looked at me: "I think Captain Song is not an ordinary person, it shouldn't be difficult to go to the next tomb, besides, others shout what ghosts and other things every day, I Li has lived for so many years and has never encountered it, I don't think you can scare yourself, I will send more people and horses, prepare more bows and arrows and other things for you, I see you pack up and prepare for departure." ”
Listening to Old Man Li's words, I really couldn't be happy, because I didn't want to go there at all, since Feilai Mountain already knew that there might be danger, this Li Shanchang insisted on letting me go to rob the tomb, which didn't take my life seriously at all, in his eyes, maybe the military salary is much more important than us, and we may be a tool for him, a tool that can help him find the military salary.
I sat there embarrassed, and I didn't know how to reply to Old Man Li, I turned my head to look at Cao Lao Liu, and saw that he was also embarrassed, Li Shanchang saw that I didn't speak and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, Captain Song, is there anything embarrassing?" ”
"Oh, nothing, nothing." I promised Old Man Li in my mouth, and I had already scolded him thousands of times in my heart, this Li Shanchang is unreasonable.
"Lord Li, since this ancient tomb is in danger, I think we should not go down this tomb, how about we change the tomb?" Cao Lao Liu looked at the old man a little nervously and said, as he spoke, he could see that Cao Lao Liu seemed to be very afraid of the old man, and it was normal to think about it, after all, this Li Shanchang was the biggest official here, and he held the power of life and death, and he could ask for someone else's head with a casual word.
When Li Shanchang heard Cao Lao Liu say that he wanted to change the tomb, his face sank suddenly, and he pointed at Cao Lao Liu and shouted: "What a big courage, you say it is easy, is such an ancient tomb that you can find if you say you can find it?" ”
Cao Lao Liu saw Li Shanchang getting angry, and suddenly said tremblingly: "This..."
"This is a military order, do you want to disobey the military order?" Cao Lao Liu seemed to want to say something, but Li Shanchang interrupted Cao Lao Liu with a word.
As soon as Cao Lao Liuyi heard Li Shanchang mention the military order, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare." ”
I looked at Li Shanchang and then at Cao Lao Liu who was kneeling on the ground, thinking that what Li Shanchang said was not only for Cao Lao Liu, but also for me, if I didn't go to the tomb, maybe this dead old man would also kill me, which is really good.
The big tent fell into silence again, I secretly complained in my heart, thinking that what the ancestor said was right, taking people's hands is short, eating people's mouths is short, staying here for so long, eating and drinking every day, now Li Shanchang wants us to contribute, if I refuse, this old man will never let me go, after thinking about it again, I stood up and arched my hand to the old man: "Master Li, I will go down to this tomb, but you must give me this man's hand, otherwise if we encounter something, we will really not be able to come out." ”
When Old Man Li heard that I agreed, he happily took my hand and looked at me with a smile: "Captain Song is really the food and clothing parents of our army." After speaking, the old man turned his head to look at Cao Lao Liu and scolded: "Guy who has no interest, you look at Captain Song, and then look at you, and learn more in the future." Get up, don't kneel. ”
Cao Lao Liu got up from the ground after thanking Old Man Li, I looked at Old Man Li's greedy eyes, and I felt for the first time that this big official in front of me was so disgusting.
"Then let's go first, go back and clean up and prepare to go to the grave." I said to Old Man Li, in fact, I wanted to leave here early, and I didn't want to see this bad old man who made me sick for a minute.
Old man Li looked at me with puzzled eyes: "How long does Captain Song plan to prepare?" ”
I thought about it: "Two days at most." ”
Old man Li nodded happily and sent us out of the big tent, after getting out of the big tent, I breathed a sigh of relief, Cao Lao Liu still had a sad face.
"Cao Lao Liu, why didn't I see Xiao Linzi, what did he do?" It suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't seen Xiaolinzi for a long time.
"Xiao Linzi and Wang De are going to deliver grain and grass, they should come back in the next few days." After Cao Lao Liu finished speaking, he looked at me suspiciously, and then said, "Lord Song, what are you looking for Xiaolinzi for?" ”
"When Xiao Linzi comes back, let Xiao Linzi take care of my companions, and let A-Ning go to the grave with us." I replied.
Cao Lao Liu nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't continue to ask, in fact, I asked Xiao Linzi to take care of the fat man and asked A Ning to rob the tomb with us because I took into account that the fat man's injury has not healed yet, and Lao Wu Tou and Qiangzi don't know where to go, if I go to the tomb with Yang Zhi, I really don't feel solid in my heart, after all, there is one more person and more strength, and besides, Ah Ning is not simple, she knows no less things than me, and even far surpasses me in terms of hidden weapons.
