Chapter 46: Darkness

Shi Xiaofei's heart was very confused.

When he went back to his room to rest, he had been lying on the bed and staring at the beams of the roof with his eyes engrossed, and the thoughts that were surging in his mind were so chaotic that he kept cutting and arranging, so that his mood became more and more irritable.

It all stemmed from Lin He's appearance and the words he said.

Shi Xiaofei is not a hairy boy who has not been deeply involved in the world.

When he was young, he fled with his parents and died, and he was fortunate to be adopted and taught by his adoptive father when he was young.

For a long time afterward, he spent a lot of time on the streets, and these trials and experiences made him more precocious and sensitive than his peers, and out of self-preservation, he rarely confided in others.

He didn't tell Lu Shaoyang about Lin He.

It's nothing more than that he still has reservations about Lu Shaoyang's trust.

But with no one to talk to, all your worries are left to yourself.

About Lin He.

His attitude was skeptical.

Because he doesn't trust a stranger at will.

The problem is that what he said is too impactful, which makes it difficult for Shi Xiaofei to distinguish the truth from the fake.

No wonder the people in the rivers and lakes don't like to deal with the Heluo heirs, it is really that what they say is full of strong confusion and inducement, the more you think about it, the more you can't extricate yourself, but the other party deliberately leaves you with a suspense and leaves.

Believe it or not.

It's your problem, not his.

Unbelief.

I was stupid and stupid in my heart.

Letter.

It means letting the other person lead the way.

As a result, Shi Xiaofei couldn't help but fall into a strange circle of hesitation and confusion.

He was thinking.

What exactly is the purpose of the other party?

He didn't believe that the other party was really here to show him some advice!

Putting aside what he said earlier.

Why would he tell himself that Senior Wen was in the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum before leaving?

Shi Xiaofei is not stupid.

He knew that the other party was inducing him to go to the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum.

However, I couldn't refuse.

No doubt.

There is a problem with the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum.

What is the problem? I'm afraid that this will require him to go and investigate in person, so that Lin He's ulterior purpose will also be achieved.

Can Shi Xiaofei choose not to go?

Of course.

But if they don't go, they are at a loss to stay in this house in the capital, and they can't open the situation in front of them for a long time, just like a blind man with black eyes.

Therefore.

Lin He is sure that he will definitely go to the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum.

"Dumbo, I'm back. ”

I don't know how long it took.

There was a creaking sound of the door opening outside the house, followed by Lu Shaoyang's voice.

"Brother Lu, the journey went well, right?"

Shi Xiaofei shook off the complicated thoughts in his mind, reached out and rubbed his face, jumped up from the bed at once, and left the room in a hurry.

"Of course, come and take all this food to the stove house. ”

Seeing Shi Xiaofei who came out of the back room to ask, Lu Shaoyang pointed to the rice bag on the ground as usual, and greeted him with a large string of raw meat and vegetables in both hands.

"Good!"

Shi Xiaofei didn't say a word, picked up the rice bag on the ground and followed Lu Shaoyang to the direction of the stove house.

"Brother Lu, didn't you notice anything unusual when you went out?"

Inside the stove house.

Shi Xiaofei poured the rice from the rice bag into the rice jar and asked seemingly casually.

"No, what's wrong?"

Lu Shaoyang picked up strings of raw meat and hung them on the rope at the vent.

"Nothing. ”

Shi Xiaofei said casually.

"By the way, when I went out to buy food, I went by the way to inquire about the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum. ”

Lu Shaoyang said casually intentionally or unintentionally.

"What's the catch?"

Shi Xiaofei's ears moved.

"Of course, do you know? In the sixth year of Jianxing, there was an incident in the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum......

said.

Lu Shaoyang quietly told Shi Xiaofei about the emperor's mausoleum.

"The mausoleum collapsed, and the Shenwu army was mobilized...... Brother Lu, don't you think this is a little suspicious?"

Shi Xiaofei said with a solemn expression in an instant after hearing this.

"Of course, because it's a bit of a fuss. Lu Shaoyang said in a deep voice. "It is said that although the emperors of all dynasties were on strict guard when they built their imperial tombs, few of them were as strict as the emperors of the current dynasties. ”

"Brother Lu, you say, Senior Wen, will they be ......?"

Shi Xiaofei guessed.

"Quite possibly!"

Lu Shaoyang naturally understood what Shi Xiaofei meant.

"If Senior Wen still hasn't returned by then, let's go to the emperor's mausoleum to find out. ”

“...... Well, at least that's giving us a direction to look for. ”

Shi Xiaofei thought for a moment and then spoke.

"However, I have heard that the Imperial Tomb is very well guarded, and we must be careful not to be exposed when the time comes. ”

Lu Shaoyang reminded him in particular.

"What Brother Lu said is extremely true! Later, we might as well discuss the countermeasures for infiltrating the imperial tomb. ”

Shi Xiaofei nodded in approval.

"Hmm. ”

on this.

Lu Shaoyang said no more.

Although Jian had already warned himself that it was best not to go to the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum without permission, Lu Shaoyang decided to take a risk after careful consideration.

Merely.

He didn't really sneak into the imperial tomb to joke with his own life, at most he would investigate the periphery.

Because his purpose is not in the imperial mausoleum, but in the changes of Shi Xiaofei.

He wanted to use this to test Shi Xiaofei.

What happened on his way back? Is anyone using Shi Xiaofei?

If he didn't figure this out, Lu Shaoyang couldn't feel at ease at all.

After waiting patiently for three days, Wen Qiyun never returned, which made Shi Xiaofei and Lu Shaoyang both determined to leave for the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum.

Three days.

They have all planned well and everything is ready to go.

The emperors of various dynasties often use huge manpower and material resources to build mausoleums, and when the emperor built a mausoleum for himself, he requisitioned more than 200,000 people, it is said that before the collapse of the mausoleum in the sixth year of Jianxing, the people who built the mausoleum were only more than 50,000 people, and the emperor of the dynasty successively recruited more people after killing a large number of craftsmen and officials.

The so-called emperor is not a hungry soldier.

These more than 200,000 people have to eat after all.

Therefore, every ten days and a half months, the capital will send a large amount of food and materials to the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum, and Shi Xiaofei and Lu Shaoyang have tried to become a member of the food transporter, so as to go to the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum openly.

However.

They still underestimated the level of security of the Imperial Tomb.

When they were about to arrive at the Beishan Imperial Tomb with the transport team, the Shenwu Army stationed on the periphery of the Imperial Tomb stopped them and sent soldiers to take over the next transportation.

This means that the task of transporting the team has been completed and they can go back.

Shi Xiaofei and the others were naturally unwilling, and directly took advantage of the handover between the team and the Shenwu Army to avoid everyone's attention, and quietly hid in the camp of the Shenwu Army.

Although it was very risky to hide in the Shenwu military camp, they had no choice.

Because the camp of the Shenwu Army is very cleverly placed, it is surrounded by a large open flat land, and there is nowhere to hide, and standing on the tall sentry tower is basically unobstructed.

After nightfall.

The two finally found an opportunity to get out, and in order to avoid attracting attention, Shi Xiaofei, who was good at stealing, also stole two sets of military uniforms and equipment of the Shenwu Army, intending to use this to confuse them.

"Who?!"

Unexpectedly, not long after they changed into military uniforms and walked out of the camp, they were immediately discovered by a patrol of Shenwu troops.

Shi Xiaofei and Lu Shaoyang didn't dare to act rashly at all, once the other party realized the clues, they couldn't escape if they wanted to.

Fortunately, Lu Shaoyang was in a hurry, and arched his hand towards the other party with a painful face.

"Don't get me wrong! Our brothers just came out to be respectful!"

"Huh, the two brothers are a little embarrassed, have they been rotated recently?" said Dahan, a member of the team who was suspected of being the captain, as he looked at them carefully. "Don't you know that you are not allowed to leave the tent at night without permission?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just that my brothers can't help it, and I ask my brother to open up. ”

Lu Shaoyang pretended to be uncomfortable.

"Okay, you guys go, after all, they're all brothers who eat a pot of rice!"

The man does not doubt that he has his hearty words.

"Thank you brother for your understanding!"

Lu Shaoyang hurriedly said, and then gave Shi Xiaofei a look, and the two immediately turned around and left.

Who knew that the next moment, Lu Shaoyang suddenly noticed the movement behind him, and he turned around and threw out a large cloud of smoke and dust, and at the same time did not forget to shout at Shi Xiaofei hurriedly.

"Run!"

"Hmph, did you run?"

The man casually waved away the smoke and dust thrown by him, and his body was like a hungry tiger pounceing on a sheep to Lu Shaoyang's approach, and with a simple punch, he hit Lu Shaoyang's chest and directly knocked him out.

"Brother Lu!"

Shi Xiaofei subconsciously looked over and happened to see the picture of Lu Shaoyang being knocked to the ground, this hesitation, the man took the opportunity to catch up, and smashed Shi Xiaofei to the ground with a clean punch.

"Tie it up, take it back!"

The man looked at Shi Xiaofeidao, who was unconscious on the ground, with contempt.

Soon.

The surrounding soldiers rushed up and tied up Shi Xiaofei and Lu Shaoyang, and then took them all the way to a camp tent.

"Report, Lord Inspector, my subordinates have captured two more guys of unknown origin!"

1. Enter the camp tent.

In the camp sat a middle-aged scribe flipping through a book.

When the man saluted and reported to the scribe, the scribe slowly raised his head, and his elegant and handsome face looked indifferently at Shi Xiaofei and Lu Shaoyang who were on the ground.

Moment.

He nodded.

"Go down first, and I'll take care of them. ”

"Yes!"

The man bowed and retired without saying a word.

"Hehe, you two still don't know whether to live or die, and you even dare to sneak into the Shenwu Army camp. ”

The middle-aged scribe put down the book in his hand and walked unhurriedly in front of Shi Xiaofei and Lu Shaoyang, who had sealed the sea of qi.

"Shi Xiaofei, Lu Shaoyang. ”

"Huh?!"

When Lu Shaoyang, who was originally disheartened, heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged scribe in front of him.

"You ......"

The middle-aged scribe smiled and said nothing, but his face suddenly distorted, and after a while, he became a different person.

"Chen Yuan?!"

When Lu Shaoyang saw the other party's changed face, he said incredulously.

"Thankfully, I was on duty during this time, otherwise you two would have died. ”

Chen Yuan reverted back to the appearance of a middle-aged scribe and shook his head.

"How could it be! How could it be your ......"

Lu Shaoyang said with a stunned gaze.

"Didn't I warn you before, the power of the Demon Sect in the capital is beyond your imagination. ”

Chen Yuan turned around and walked to his table, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently.

“...... This time it was a mistake. ”

Lu Shaoyang looked at Shi Xiaofeidao, who was in a trance beside him, with a guilty face.

"There are more than 800 people in the Shenwu Army here, each of them is a carefully selected soldier from the Shenwu Army, and they are all familiar with each other, anyone who wants to sneak into the camp can't hide from our eyes, and the person who captured you just now is called Yang Meng, the top martial artist of the Chaoyuan Realm, originally he was one of the six army leaders of the Shenwu Army, but unfortunately he made a mistake some time ago and was temporarily degraded to the team rate, you will actually bump into him, I don't know what to say. ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and sighed lightly.

"What about you, why are you here?"

Lu Shaoyang was silent for a moment and said.

"Didn't you hear what he just said??I'm the inspector here!" Chen Yuan said disapprerovingly. "As for why I'm here, of course, it's on the orders of the Demon Sect. ”

"Is it possible...... It's all from your Demon Sect here?"

Lu Shaoyang's eyes widened.

"It can't be said that our Demon Sect hasn't covered the sky with one hand to this point, at least most of the martial arts here are unaware. ”

Chen Yuan said indifferently.

"And the Yang Meng who captured you alive is a person from the imperial court, but he is smarter and has been pretending to be stupid, otherwise he would have disappeared into this world with his old boss Duan Zongbi...... Anyway, you came to the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum for Wen Qiyun, right?"

"You know?!"

Lu Shaoyang looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief.

"Of course, after all, Wen Qiyun has been with you before, but you are not in vain, Wen Qiyun is indeed here in the Imperial Tomb, but he has become our prisoner just like you!"

Chen Yuan wrote lightly.

"Senior Wen was arrested by you?"

Lu Shaoyang was shocked.

"As far as I know, he did break into the Imperial Tomb before, and then there was no news, no surprise, he should have let the people of the Demon Sect capture him. ”

Chen Yuan said softly.

“...... What secrets are hidden here in the Imperial Tomb?"

Lu Shaoyang took a deep breath and airway.

"I don't know. ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and said.

"You don't know, but you're not ......"

Lu Shaoyang was stunned.

"You think too highly of me, although it is true that I am the inspector here, but within the Demon Sect, I am just a dog on their leash. Chen Yuan laughed at himself. "The Shenwu Army is only in charge of the first line outside the Imperial Mausoleum, as for the two more strict lines inside the Imperial Mausoleum, but you can't even cross my line, let alone the last two lines, as far as I know, Wen Qiyun was captured on the second line. ”

"Don't you know why the Demon Sect attaches so much importance to the Imperial Tomb?"

Lu Shaoyang said unwillingly.

"I have a guess, but I can't guarantee that my guess is correct. ”

Chen Yuan said calmly.

"Do you know what important people have been buried in the Beishan Imperial Mausoleum?"

“...... You mean......"

Lu Shaoyang thought about it, and his face changed suddenly.

"Looks like you guessed it. ”

Chen Yuan, who noticed the change in Lu Shaoyang's face, nodded and said.

"The Ancient Emperor!"
