Xu Weiqiu climbed up and touched it, and sure enough, it was an ivory product, round in shape, as big as the mouth of a bowl, with a hollow design, which was good-looking, but this kind of handicraft was quite laborious to clean up.

She buried her head in cleaning, turned around, and accidentally touched a wooden box on the case, and the box fell to the ground with a "bang", and some objects fell out of it, which were several files.

Xu Weiqiu hurriedly went down to the ground to pick it up, and opened it curiously, but saw that there were not many words on these files, almost all of them were patterns, although she did not study architecture, but at a glance she recognized that this was the construction drawing on Guhuang Mountain.

At the beginning, she secretly discussed with Goudan what she wanted to build in Guhuang Mountain, and Goudan told her that she heard that it was to build a palace for the royal family.

Driven by curiosity, she looked at it while tidying up, the design of this drawing is very ingenious, there are a courtroom, a bright building, three doors, an ear room, a carriage room, and a main room......

However, the further back she went, the more Xu Weiqiu looked at it, the more frightened she became, and she saw the treasure top and the underground palace.

Where is this to build a palace, it is clearly to repair the emperor's mausoleum.

She also finally understood why most of the hired and conscripted servants were assigned to do some work such as digging foundations, moving stones, and transporting timber, while most of the more in-depth work was assigned to the convicted prisoners.

During her studies, she learned from some literature; In order to enjoy the supreme glory and wealth after death, the monarch would start to build mausoleums for himself decades in advance.

A large number of funerary goods will be stored in the tomb, in order to prevent tomb robbers and ensure the safety of the imperial tomb, the tomb will be equipped with heavy mechanisms, and those craftsmen who know the entrance and exit of the underground palace and hold some core secrets will generally be secretly executed.

Flipping through the drawings, she found something very strange from above, a long corridor that stretched from the back of the east chamber to another hill, and the hill was marked.

For a while, she didn't want to think about it, why did an imperial mausoleum make such a road?

Just as she was wondering, a question came from behind her, "What are you doing?" ”

Xu Weiqiu turned his head sharply after being frightened, but saw Zhao Yan standing two feet away with his hands in his hands, and his narrow eyes looked at her coldly.

I don't know if it's a delusion, for a moment, she saw a murderous aura in this person's eyes.

Xu Weiqiu's heart froze, and soon, she realized that she had made a fatal mistake, if the people who repaired the tomb would be wiped out, then a person who had even seen the drawings would definitely die.

She was so nervous that she pretended to be calm and explained: "My lord, I just went up to clean up the pendant on the top, but I accidentally knocked out the wooden box, the order of the file is messed up, and I don't know how to write, so I don't know how to organize it." ”

As she spoke, she rolled up the file in her hand and hugged him along with the one on the case.

She remembered that she had told the man that she was illiterate, and she hoped he would.

Zhao Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her face, staring at her heart and sweating in her palms, until she thought that she was afraid that she would be in danger this time, Zhao Yan reached out and took all the scrolls of drawings.

"In the future, without my consent, I can't touch all the books in my house, right?"

"Yes, the slave knows."

Zhao Yan glanced at her and put the things back in her hand: "Put it first, I'll tidy it up when I'm free." ”

Xu Weiqiu had to obediently put the things back on the desk.

Zhao Yan sat down on the side, leaned back in the chair with a lazy expression, closed his eyes, and commanded softly:

"You go and fetch a basin of water, and I'm going to wash my feet."

"Yes!"

Xu Weiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that she had escaped this time.

Coming back with a basin of water, Zhao Yan's movements did not change, he still leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.

Xu Weiqiu turned her head to look at the long case, the files had not been touched again, and she stepped forward cautiously: "My lord, the water is coming." ”

Zhao Yan didn't open his eyes, only stretched out one foot forward; Xu Weiqiu was overwhelmed, so he had to step forward to take off his shoes and socks.

A pair of feet were soaked in water, and she scooped the water with her hands and washed him one by one.

If in her previous life, it would have been impossible for her to wash another person's feet so subserviently, and now, due to reality, she can only do it softly.

This made her re-acquaint herself, and she laughed at herself in her heart, it turned out that in order to survive, she could act so humbly.

Waiting for Zhao Yan to get on the couch, she took the water and retreated, and at night, lying on the hardwood board, Xu Weiqiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night.

The next day, she followed Zhao Yan to the ancient Phoenix Mountain with a big panda eye.

The foot of the mountain was heavily guarded, and the hard laborers on the mountain worked hard under the scorching sun.

Seeing those prisoners shouting loudly, and moving one boulder after another into the high wall, Xu Weiqiu's heart gradually became heavy.

If these people knew that they would not be able to escape the fate of being wiped out, would they still work so hard?

She seemed to have seen the brutal killing scene, and her whole body shuddered.

Zhao Yan inspected for a week, and instead of leaving in a hurry, he leisurely drank tea under the makeshift bamboo shed.

Xu Weiqiu couldn't be idle, in addition to delivering tea and water to the side, he also had to fan him with a pu fan.

Zhao Yan took a sip of tea, sat there and watched out silently, somehow, Xu Weiqiu felt that he seemed to be in a very good mood today.

In the evening, after everyone had had had dinner, Zhao Yan ordered all the prisoners to be gathered.

Soon, all the prisoners were rushed to the training ground where the soldiers practiced on weekdays.

When Xu Weiqiu followed Zhao Yan into the training ground, he saw that many people were watching from the sidelines, and the entire training ground was crowded with people.

The onlookers were more lively than the vegetable market, and with the arrival of Zhao Yan, the noise quickly stopped.

Zhao Yan walked to the front, there was already a Taishi chair prepared, he sat down on the Taishi chair, his eyes looked around the crowd lightly, and then landed somewhere.

Xu Weiqiu followed his line of sight and saw someone setting up a pyre on the training ground, but he didn't know what he wanted?

Zhao Yan leisurely coiled the string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and said coldly: "Bring people up." ”

Soon, the officials brought up six prisoners, all of whom were ragged and bloodstained with their prison clothes; They hunched their shoulders and faltered, leaving a bloody mark with each step, apparently being punished.

Seeing this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn, and everyone was not breathing.

When she heard Zhao Yan's order, Xu Weiqiu already had a bad guess in her heart, but when several prisoners were carried and knelt in front of Zhao Yan, she couldn't help but feel her heart tighten when she saw the conspicuous scar on the leader's face.
