Under the night, the fire on the Gaoyang Plain was dotted, and faintly, a figure was shaking.

At the edge of the southeast hills of Gaoyang Plain, a figure with a brass mask stood there silently.

Looking at the figures flickering in the firelight in the tents around the tomb from a distance, the eyes of the figures became more and more hateful.

Now what appears here at this time can only be the King of the East China Sea.

The funeral of the hidden princess Zheng has ended, and a group of people have returned to Chang'an, including Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang, Pei Guangxiao, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, and the eldest princess of Huainan, all of whom have returned to the palace to resume their lives.

Everything was spent safely, without any accidents, and almost all the attention paid here has been taken back.

As long as the attendants of the Shaofu Eunuch who stayed here to keep the spirit alive stayed here for ten days under the escort of the right guard, then everything would be considered to be completely over.

This was supposed to be the easiest thing to do.

Two teams of right guards guarded both sides of the mausoleum, set up camps and tents, patrolling day and night, and ordinary people could not approach at all.

In addition, two other groups of soldiers remained in the village a few miles south of the mausoleum.

The slightest unusual movement here will immediately alarm the soldiers in the village, and once it is verified, they will immediately notify the guards on the wall of Chang'an in the distance.

The visible, the invisible, the open and the dark, I don't know how many guards are guarding here.

The emperor will not allow any accidents to happen, lest Concubine Zheng has just been buried today, and tomorrow, her mausoleum will be silently stolen.

If this kind of thing really happens, even if the news can be completely covered up, but for the royal family, it is not hesitant to be slapped in the face.

……

In the darkness, the king of the East China Sea just kept watching, without burning incense to worship, nor bowing his head.

I don't know how long it took, but the King of the East China Sea finally got tired of seeing it, and as soon as he turned around, the people were already silently drifting towards the village to the south.

The footsteps fell to the ground, as if they were three inches above the ground, but the speed was amazing, and it didn't take long for the King of the East Sea to come outside the village.

The whole village has long been filled with people from the right guard, guarding the distant purpose with the people of the village here.

Gaoyangyuan, this is the mausoleum prepared for themselves by the powerful people of the DPRK, and many people have already been buried here.

Those powerful families have long arranged for many people to keep vigils, sweep tombs and worship.

Of course, the people who are arranged here will not be important people in the family, but the place here is too sensitive, and it is extremely difficult to mess with such a person.

It's okay for the right guard to be a little more arrogant, but if it's really suspected of colliding with something, even their commander will find it extremely tricky.

The King of the East China Sea silently bypassed the guards in the village, whether it was the elite of the right guard or the existing guards, they did not find him.

In silence, the King of the East Sea had carefully come to a small courtyard on the southeast side of the village.

This courtyard looks ordinary, but it is actually the closest courtyard to the mausoleum in the entire village.

Five miles.

The courtyard is exactly five miles away from the mausoleum of Prince Yin.

The king of the East Sea entered silently, and the owner of the courtyard seemed to be asleep and found nothing.

The King of the East Sea threw himself directly into the well.

In the darkness, the East Sea King slid to the surface of the well, then reached out to the right side and touched it, and in the blink of an eye, a false wall had slid silently.

A man in black stood at the inner door, and when he saw the arrival of the East Sea King, he bowed solemnly.

The King of the East Sea closed the false wall, and then said in a cold voice: "Stay here, don't let people cut off our back road." ”

"Subordinates obey orders, and the king is careful."

The King of the East Sea nodded, and then walked forward quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had completely disappeared into the dim and long underground passage.

The underground passage is very long, two meters high, no need to bow your head, one meter and five wide, and there are wooden stakes on both sides to support the upper roof.

The long passage shows no signs of collapse, it was definitely built by insiders.

Every fifty meters, a torch hangs on the wall, illuminating the passage ahead.

The King of the East Sea kept moving forward, and the further he went, the more the passage went down.

But the bottom is limited, because they have already dug into the rock formation below and then advanced along the rock formation.

Five miles away, a straight line, turning around, you can faintly see the torch at the entrance.

In the deepest part of the cavern, two dark chambers had been dug up on both sides, and twenty lifeless assassins sat silently inside.

The short sword and crossbow are placed on one side, ready to fight and assassinate at any time.

……

The king of the East China Sea stood at the end of the passage, raised his head slightly, and three meters above was the tomb of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng.

With just a hand, you can open up the passage to the tomb in no time.

"After a whole year, is this moment finally coming?" The King of the East Sea raised his head and sighed softly.

A year ago, no one knew how much he had calculated, and finally came to this day step by step.

The death of Emperor Yi Hong, the turmoil of the Cheonyin Sect in Muzhou, and even the surprise attack of Winter Silla were all aimed at attracting the attention of others so that he could come here without anyone noticing.

And the purpose of his coming here was never to tell others about his existence, but to take something from here.

A thing in the hands of the hidden princess Zheng.

That thing, Zheng hid very deeply.

The people in the palace were watching her every move almost all the time, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for that thing to be sent out, and there was also to avoid being discovered by the palace when it was sent out, and the difficulty increased several times almost instantly.

But in the end, a method was thought of.

That is death.

Use death to send out the most important thing to the King of the East Sea.

And the reason why it was chosen now is because Concubine Zheng's body is no longer good.

Spring and Autumn Seventy-Eight, her body is still second, the key is that she has begun to lose some of her minds.

Finally, the news got in, and so did the news.

As for why this news has not been discovered, it can only be said that it is a secret, and only a very few people know about it.

In the dead of night, at the beginning of the fifth watch, the king of the East China Sea finally waved his hand, and the lifeless killers on both sides immediately began to poke the dirt on it carefully.

The dirt stumbled into the ground, and then it was quickly pulled out and placed into the ear chambers on both sides.

Half an hour later, a hole leading to the tomb above had been completely opened.

Tomb robbery is never prevented, that is, someone enters from above, and few prevent it from entering from below.

At most, a layer of stone slabs is placed at the bottom of the mausoleum.

……

The stone slab was lifted, and the King of the East Sea finally appeared in the tomb of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng.

The air here is a little muddy, but it doesn't affect people, after all, this place has only just been opened by someone during the day.

Two coffins, one old and one new, lay flat on the ground.

Li Jiancheng and Zheng Guanyin, the time of death of this couple was nearly fifty years apart, but now they are lying together in this humble tomb.

The indifferent eyes of the East Sea King glanced at Li Jiancheng's coffin, and then looked directly at Zheng Guanyin's coffin on the other side.

It was this woman who allowed him to survive in the end, and after Li Li used his eldest daughter to transfer with him, he immediately sent him away, but he never cared about it again, as if such a person had never existed.

The King of the East China Sea slowly walked towards Zheng Guanyin's coffin, and with a flip of his hand, a sharp dagger appeared in the hand of the King of the East China Sea.

With a slight "squeak", the coffin was opened......

Moments later, the "squeak" sound sounded again, and the coffin was closed again.

A yellow cloth appeared in the hand of the King of the East China Sea, he wiped the things in the yellow cloth vigorously, and finally, under the faint light of the passage underneath, a jade seal with a trace of blood appeared in the hand of the King of the East China Sea at a moment.

As soon as the king of the East China Sea flipped his hand, the jade seal had been turned over, and a few words were engraved on it: "Tang Taizi seal." ”

Taizi is the crown prince.

The Tang prince is printed with two sides, one is the turtle button gold seal, and the other is the jade seal of the bucket button.

After Li Jiancheng died, the jade seal of the bucket button he carried with him disappeared, and only one of the turtle button gold seals was found in the prince's mansion.

Emperor Taizong didn't care much, because although he killed his brother and younger brother, there was still an emperor on his head.

The old ministry that was built was difficult to pose much of a threat to Emperor Taizong.

However, no one knew that this jade seal that was supposed to be carried by Li Jiancheng fell into Zheng Guanyin's hands.

How many years have passed, Zheng Guanyin has been quietly in charge of this jade seal, and finally, after her life ended, this jade seal was passed on.

Looking at the bloodshot on the jade seal, the king of the East China Sea didn't know how much pain his mother had gone through in order to pass on this jade seal.

Thankfully, it's finally over.

The King of the East China Sea turned around, bowed heavily to Concubine Zheng's coffin, and then turned around and immediately jumped into the cave.

Before the person landed, the voice of the King of the East China Sea had already sounded: "Immediately, seal the tomb ......"

As soon as his footsteps fell to the ground, the king of the East China Sea flipped his hand, and the jade seal in his hand was gone.

A short sword suddenly appeared in his hand, carefully guarding him.

A figure wearing black gold silk soft armor stood three meters in front of the East Sea King, the blade of the sword hanging to the ground in his hand, dripping blood constantly.

On both sides of the figure, there were more than twenty corpses lying there, all of which had been wiped through their throats with a sword, and they couldn't react at all if they were fast.

The King of the East China Sea raised his head and looked at the opponent opposite, with great surprise and disbelief in the depths of his eyes: "King Nanchang, when did you find out here?" ”

"Today." Li Xuan looked at the King of the East China Sea calmly, and said softly: "I followed you all the way, but it's a pity that you didn't find me." ”

"It seems that I was careless." The King of the East Sea smiled softly and bitterly, at the moment when he was about to achieve his goal, he was still careless, and he was followed by Li Xuan, all the way to the secret stronghold, and he didn't find out.

The King of the East China Sea raised his head, his eyes fell on the assassins on the ground who were blocked by a sword, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect it, King Nanchang, your skills are much stronger than the rumors, and much stronger than I expected." ”

Li Xuan shook his head calmly and said, "It's not too strong, this king just used some drugs, such a narrow space is really suitable for using drugs." ”

"I forgot that the king of Nanchang is also a master of medicine." The King of the East China Sea smiled, and a small black porcelain vase was thrown out of his sleeve, and then said with emotion: "It seems that this little trick of this seat can't help the King of Nanchang." ”

Li Xuan's eyes calmly looked at the brass mask on the face of the East Sea King, his face was majestic, with a slight hint of hideousness.

"Put down the things, tie your hands, this king will give you a chance to face the saint." Li Xuan whispered, and there was a trace of pity in the depths of his eyes.

"Huh!" The king of the East China Sea smiled, looked at Li Xuan and sneered: "There is no need to act, the king of Nanchang is ruthless, as long as this seat is restrained, then you will immediately cut off the head of this seat, your person, this seat knows too well." ”

"Could it be that you're wrong?" Li Xuan still spoke lightly and said softly: "This king may have always been a good person. ”

"Haha......" The King of the East China Sea laughed, and then instantly became cold: "If you are a good person, what is the poison that is all over the air, don't bother, this little thing can't help this seat." ”

"It's a pity, I originally wanted to spare your life." Li Xuan's footsteps were a little, and the whole person was already floating forward.

With a lift of his right hand, the infinite sword shadow had already shrouded directly towards the East Sea King.
