Chapter 552: King Yun's Mausoleum

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Ji went to the post station to ask Ning Ze to set off, and led the army to accompany him to leave Pudong County.

Ning Ze took Song Gao, Ning Yong, and Shao Yi to lead 5,000 musketeers to follow the rear of Pei Ji's army, and the general Pei opened the way.

All the way from Pudong, along the road back to the time, mighty and moving.

The team traveled day and night and arrived near Cangshan Mountain in Jin County, where people were sleepy and tired.

Seeing that the soldiers really couldn't walk, and this side was quite suitable for camping, Pei Ji turned around and found Ning Ze: "Lord Wang, the soldiers can't hold on, it's better to camp here to rest!"

"It's all up to the general's arrangement!" Ning Ze spoke very well.

Pei Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered to camp on the spot and bury the pot to cook.

Ning Ze's army was also stationed in place for a short rest.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates took people to the vicinity to find a water source to replenish the drinking water in the army. Song Gao came to ask for help, it turned out that he had been in a hurry for days, and there was not much drinking water left.

"Ning Yong, Shao Yi, you accompany General Song and bring more men. Ning Ze immediately ordered.

The three of them immediately set off and took more than 500 people to the vicinity to look for water.

When Pei Ji learned about it, he immediately sent his cronies to follow him as a guide to prevent Song Gao and others from going the wrong way. Of course, there is another layer of intention, real-time monitoring, to avoid Ning Ze letting them secretly carry out tasks.

At the same time, Pei Ji came to Ning Ze's side and followed the whole process, not letting the other party leave his field of vision.

Such a cautious attitude is understandable. For Nan Cheng, Ning Ze is a great threat, and he is afraid that he will secretly do something to damage the interests of Nancheng.

Ning Ze was very peaceful, and did not do anything that worried Pei Ji.

The two of them were idle and bored, sitting and talking in the tent, killing time.

For more than half an hour, a person outside quickly rode into the camp, came to the commander's tent and turned over and fell off the horse, and quickly knelt down on one knee after coming in, it turned out to be Ning Ze's musketeer: "Lord Yu, the water search team found a lot of bronze coins, and it is suspected that there are ancient tombs nearby, and the scale is not small." General Song ordered the little one to come back and ask the prince whether to send someone to investigate. ”

"Ancient tomb?" Ning Ze pinched his nose and couldn't help laughing, "How can he find these weird things everywhere?"

"Lord Wang, since it is a tomb of the ancients, it is better not to disturb!" Pei Ji said.

Ning Ze shook his head at him: "The general's words are wrong! Since the bronze coins were found on the way to find water, it is suspected that there are ancient tomb remains, which means that the tomb has a long history, has been dilapidated, and has lost its protection. If we sit idly by, we will be disrespectful to our ancestors. In such a situation, it is reasonable to find out who the owner of the tomb is, how damaged the tomb is, and decide whether to repair it or build a new tomb so that the deceased can rest in peace. ”

"This ......" Pei Ji was speechless, he was a general, and he definitely couldn't say Ning Ze.

"General Pei, let's take a look together?" Ning Ze got up and sent out an invitation.

Pei Ji had no choice but to follow Ning Ze, get on the war horse, be led by the musketeers, and move quickly towards the place of the incident.

Arriving at the southwest corner of Cangshan one after another, Song Gao, Ning Yong, and Shao Yi came over, and Pei Ji's cronies were also beside him.

After saluting Ning Ze and Pei Ji, Song Gao opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, when I was waiting to get water, a soldier found a decaying wooden box with a lot of rusty bronze coins hidden in it. The last general ordered people to investigate the surroundings and found a rather hidden ancient tomb. Because of the age, the ** part of the tomb is sunken, forming a gully that is not known how deep, and it is impossible to continue to move forward. There are so many copper coins at the entrance, and looking at the huge scale, it must be that the owner of the tomb is not simple, and there must be more precious funerary goods inside. We can't enter it, so we can only ask the prince to come over. ”

"Where?"

"This way!" Song Gao and others led the way, leading Ning Ze and Pei Ji to the depths of thorns that were extremely remote and difficult to walk.

There is no road here at all, the weeds are taller than people, except for Song Gao, who likes to walk around, ordinary people will not approach easily.

The thorny thorns were cut down by the soldiers and thrown to the side to make a barely passable path.

Ning Ze followed inside, and finally came to a moss-covered clearing with stones everywhere, and there was a tomb-shaped hole in front of him, and weathered bricks and stones were scattered everywhere.

The tomb has blended in with the surrounding terrain and is completely undetectable from other angles.

Soldiers stood guard at the entrance to the tomb, lighting the inside with torches.

There are several wooden boxes on the ground, all of which are rotten and will fall apart if you pull them. It does contain a large number of bronze coins, covered in a green rust color.

"Is there an inscription here?" asked Pei Ji.

He wanted to know who the owner of the tomb was through the inscription.

The two groups of soldiers shook their heads, obviously too old, either the stele had weathered into foam, or it was buried somewhere that could not be found.

"Go in and have a look?" Ning Ze turned his head and gestured to Pei Ji.

Pei Ji's brows furrowed slightly, obviously more resistant to the tomb and felt unlucky. But he was afraid that after Ning Ze entered the tomb, he would wreak havoc inside.

After all, this tomb is in the territory of Nancheng, and it is considered to be Nancheng's property, so it can't be left to Ning Zehu.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and forced his composure to keep up with Ning Ze.

This ancient tomb looks inconspicuous from the outside, but when you enter the inside, it suddenly opens up, and the space inside is huge, and the wide steps go all the way down, like an underground palace.

Not to mention Pei Ji, Ning Ze was surprised, it was definitely not an ordinary person who could create such a scale.

"Lord Wang, this way!" Song Gao ordered someone to lead the way in front with a torch.

The group walked down the stairs to the bottom, and there was a straight passage ahead.

When you go to the end, there is a collapsed stone door on the right side, and two stone lions stand in the doorway.

After passing through the stone gate, I stopped after a few steps, and it turned out that my feet were broken, and I collapsed about ten meters away, and I couldn't reach the opposite side.

The collapse was pitch black, and the torch could only shine at a limited distance.

Ning Ze reached out and picked up a piece of gravel and threw it down, and it took a long time before he heard the sound of the stone falling to the ground.

"Trap?" Pei Ji asked cautiously with a glance at it.

"It shouldn't be," Ning Ze pinched his chin and thought for a few seconds, "It seems to be formed by the movement of the earth's crust." ”

Everyone looked at him with blank expressions, puzzled.

"Crustal movement?" Pei Ji couldn't understand, "What do you mean?"

Ning Ze didn't have the heart to popularize science with them, so he replied casually: "You should treat it as an earthquake!"

"Earthquake?" the crowd was still puzzled.

"Earth dragon turned over?" Ning Ze changed his words.

"Oh~" Now everyone moved.

"What does the prince mean, there is an earth dragon in this tomb?" Pei Ji looked worried, "Isn't that dangerous?"

"......" Ning Ze was quite speechless about Pei Ji's brain hole, and did not continue the topic, but looked at the dark ahead.

"Lord Wang, it's too dark inside, and the torches can't shine. Song Gao leaned over, "It's too far away to build a bridge." Maybe you can fly to the other side?"

"Hmm~" This tomb ** is extremely spacious, even if you summon a strange winged moa, there is no problem. Ning Ze immediately ordered, "All the staff retreat and wait for the lone detective to investigate!"

"Lord Wang, be careful!" Song Gao reminded him as he retreated.

Pei Ji also led the people to retreat, making way for an open space.

Ning Ze summoned the strange-winged moa and jumped to his back. was about to set off, and Pei Ji hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, can you take me one?"

It should be no problem for the two of them, Ning Ze turned around and asked, "It may be extremely dangerous in the tomb, the general really wants to be together?"

Pei Ji hesitated for a second, and said in his heart that it might be dangerous inside, aren't you there? This tomb doesn't look simple, let you go in alone, how about it in case of damage? Or find any rare treasures, that also belong to Nancheng, if you swallow them all alone, how can I explain to Your Majesty?

nodded immediately: "The prince is a guest, how can he let you be in danger alone?"

"Okay!" Ning Ze actually knew what Pei Ji was thinking, "The general must protect himself." ”

Pei Ji immediately stepped forward and followed him on the back of the strange-winged moa.

The odd-winged moa fluttered its wings and flew with the two of them flying over the bottomless ravine, directly towards the opposite side.

Darkness does not affect its movement, after all, it is not located by the eyes.

Under the nervous gaze of Song Gao and others, the strange-winged moa successfully arrived at the opposite side and landed smoothly in the passage of the tomb.

Ning Ze took out the fire fold to illuminate it, and went down to the ground with Pei Ji one after another.

"I forgot to take the torch!" The faint light of the fire fold could not illuminate the surroundings, and Pei Ji remembered that he had not brought the most important thing.

Just as he was about to remind Ning Ze to go back, he brought a few torches over first, when he saw a palace lamp that looked quite precious appeared out of thin air in the other party's hand.

The fire fold lit the palace lamp, and the surroundings of the hand instantly lit up.

By the way, he knows how to use strange spells, and it seems that he is unfounded. Pei Ji secretly thought to himself, turned his eyes around, and saw a figure appear in front of him, goosebumps popped up all over his body, and he immediately raised the green dragon thorn and shouted: "Who?!"

Ning Ze was taken aback by him, and said in his heart that there were no other red dots displayed on the virtual map, and there should be no dangerous creatures here. Carrying the palace lamp to the front, he soon found that several lifelike stone statues of soldiers not far away were guarding the intersection in different postures, Pei Ji should have seen them and mistakenly thought that there were people inside.

The light shone on the stone statue, Pei Ji was a little embarrassed after seeing it clearly, his eyes turned, and he found a stone tablet nearby, and immediately said to Ning Ze: "Look at that!"

Ning Ze followed the direction of Pei Ji's finger and leaned over the palace lamp, and there was a gorgeous stone tablet against the wall on the right side, with handwriting engraved on it.

The two cautiously came to the stele and checked the words on it through the palace lamp.

"The tomb of King Yun, who is King Yun?" Ning Ze has been in this world for many years, and this is the first time he has heard of it.

Pei Ji was also at a loss: "I don't know! It should be the royal family from a long time ago." ”

"Of course it was a long time ago!" Ning Ze couldn't help but roll his eyes, judging from the decay of the ancient tomb, isn't this nonsense?

"No matter who this person is, he must be in a high position!" Pei Ji said, "Lord Wang, it is better for us to withdraw first, and wait for me to report to Your Majesty with a flying pigeon, ask who King Yun is, and then decide what to do with this tomb." ”

Ning Zexin said that I couldn't wait that long, so he said to Pei Ji: "It doesn't matter who he is, go in and take a look!" ”
