Chapter 547: Unexpected
At Mu Junhe's insistence, everyone could only choose to follow these national eunuchs all the way to the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu.
Soon they came to a forested area that had been scorched by flames.
When they saw a large black forest in front of them that had been burned by the fire, everyone realized that this place was not far from the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu.
So everyone immediately slowed down to prevent being discovered by the eunuchs in front of them.
And these eunuchs also looked a little flustered after entering the fire-burned forest.
It was clear that they knew the power of the thunder they were carrying.
However, the leading Guozi eunuch was obviously more calm than the others.
After his simple encouragement, the other soldiers lifted their robes and stepped into the burned forest.
"Humph! It seems that these guys also know that their actions are not in sight! ”
Tang Minghu looked at those scholars with disdain.
He knew very well that those scholars who read the books of the sages had always looked down on them.
Even most of the warriors felt that they were a head lower than these warriors.
But now those warriors who were despised by the scholars were fighting the steppe people on the battlefield.
And these scholars are doing these shady things behind their backs, which is simply a great irony.
"The path these scholars are taking is really remote, if we hadn't followed them from the beginning, maybe we wouldn't have found this place at all!"
Miyi looked around for a moment and said.
"That's right! This kind of hidden path is impossible to find if it is not for those who have a heart. ”
As a former bandit leader, An Su is more familiar with the hidden mountain roads than others.
This hidden mountain path like the one taken by the eunuchs of the country would not have been able to find it if it were not for people who were particularly familiar with the local terrain.
"It seems that these people behind it have been planning this matter for more than a day or two."
Keiko was touching her chin and said solemnly.
"People often say that the country will die, and there will be disasters, and now it seems that many people think that the fall of the Dayu Dynasty is imminent, and some people can't wait."
Mu Junhe said with a cold face.
Everyone had already felt a murderous aura in him.
Soon, everyone followed this group of scholars deep into the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu.
And when they crossed the wall of Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum, Mu Junhe couldn't help frowning.
They had previously entered the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu from the waterway under the leadership of Li Yi.
But these eunuchs of the country took a different path.
This is also a path that they did not know before.
"Now, even if these guys tell me in person, they didn't plan it a long time ago, and I don't believe it."
Keiko was looking at the wall they had just crossed, and couldn't help but smile wryly and shook her head.
You must know that the entire perimeter of Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum is surrounded by a wall nearly one zhang high.
But the place where these scholars walked was the side of Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb with its back to the mountain.
The mountains outside the walls have been excavated, and the distance between the mountains and the walls is at least two or three meters away.
But now the fence they are on is less than half a meter from the mountain.
Scholars could easily cross the wall as long as they held the mountain and the wall with their hands.
"I also have to admire the people behind this scene, how did they find this place?"
Li Yi sighed.
"Humph! It's just that they have been scheming for a long time, otherwise how could they have discovered this place. ”
Mu Junhe just sneered and said.
At this time, everyone stepped on the pitch-black ground, looking at the white smoke still billowing from many places in the distance, and everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, they had just escaped from here.
But in the blink of an eye, they were back here.
And among these people, the most emotional is Murong Tongwei.
I think he was kidnapped here by Li Yi and others before, and now he was brought back here by Li Yi and others.
Thinking about it, even Mu Huali Falcon was like a god, and it was impossible to think that he would return to this Dayu Emperor's Mausoleum at this time.
"It seems that it is unlikely that Mu Huali Falcon will send someone to rescue him."
Murong Tongwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At this point, he was even a little disheartened, and at the same time he had no expectations for his future.
It's just that he is still a little unwilling in his heart.
After all, he had only ascended to the throne of the earth valley for a short time, and before he had time to display his ambitions, he became a prisoner of the Great Yu people.
Just when Murong Tong secretly felt sorry for himself, Li Yi and the others had already stopped.
Because the eunuchs in front of them have stopped.
"Now the guy stops and shows that the person behind him is about to come out."
After everyone hid their figures, they couldn't help but say excitedly.
"Let me see who is behind it?"
Among the people, the most excited now is Qin Shaojie.
Because according to everyone's previous analysis, the mastermind behind this scene must be the people in Jinling City.
And Qin Shaojie, as the leader of Jinling City, and a member of the Yaowu Army, is still familiar with most people in Jinling City.
Just in Qin Shaojie's expectation, the soldiers of the National Prison who were originally squatting or sitting suddenly stood up one after another.
"It's coming!"
Qin Shaojie said expectantly.
Everyone immediately focused their attention on the place where the eunuchs of the country were.
Immediately, they saw that not far from the scholars, two figures, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, were slowly approaching.
And when Qin Shaojie saw these two figures, he was stunned for a moment.
"How could it be them?"
Then he muttered incredulously.
"What? Do you know these two people? ”
When Qi Chao saw Qin Shaojie say this, he immediately asked.
"These two people not only know Shaojie, but I also know them."
At this time, Qin Shaoyan also looked at the two of them in surprise and said.
"You know each other, too?"
"That's right, these two people and Shaojie and I both know each other, in fact, not only do we know each other, but they can be said to be very familiar."
Qin Shaoyan felt that the whole world was a little unreal at this time.
She really couldn't imagine that the person she knew so well was behind it.
"What are these two people?"
An Su couldn't help but ask curiously.
"That tall man is your henchman, right?"
At this time, Li Yi opened his mouth to ask Qin Shaojie.
And Qin Shaojie didn't recover from the shock until Li Yi opened his mouth to ask him.
"How could it be him? I've been with that Yao Liming for so long, how could he be behind this matter? ”
Qin Shaojie pulled his hair and wanted to use the pain to make himself sober.
But it was clear that it didn't work at all.
"That tall man is your henchman?"
Everyone was immediately taken aback by what Li Yi said.
"And who's the other short guy? Is he also your henchman? ”
Qi Chao was also curious about the identity of the other Humpty Dumpty.
"That person is our father's subordinate Nandu, a member of the criminal department, Wailang Ximen Lu."
Qin Shaoyan immediately revealed the identity of the other person.
For this person, Li Yi and Mu Junhe have a relationship with him.
But at that time, they were besieged by many officials and guards of the Jinling City Government, so the two did not have much impression of this person.
"Is that man Simon Lu?"
Tang Minghu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
As a member of the city guard battalion in Jinling City, he often deals with people from the Criminal Department on weekdays.
And this Ximen Lu can be said to be one of the few officials he can usually contact in Jinling Mansion.
In his impression, this person has always been a bully on weekdays.
I really didn't expect that such a seemingly dog-legged character would be the mastermind behind this incident.
"Don't be too surprised, these two are not so much behind the scenes, but rather the executors of the whole thing."
Mu Junhe saw that everyone was surprised by the identities of these two people, so he spoke slowly.
"Now, whether they are behind the scenes or not, we just need to take them both down, and I have my own way to get them to tell the truth."
The ghost doctor said confidently with a face holding his arms.
"That's right, our priority now is to take them down and then slowly interrogate them."
Tang Minghu also said randomly.
"Wait, I'm here to see if their purpose is what we said they were predicting!"
At this time, Mu Junhe waved his hand to stop everyone.
Now he wanted to confirm whether their previous judgment was correct.
When everyone heard this, they felt that the combat power of these people in front of them was not very strong anyway, and they had enough ability to stop each other at a critical time.
So they went on to hide.
Soon, the soldiers of the national prison took out thunderbolts from their satchels and robe sleeves.
These forty or fifty national eunuchs actually took out seventy or eighty thunderbolts.
Basically every one of them carried two thunderbolts.
"Obediently, these soldiers of the country are really not afraid of death, they just hide the thunder on their bodies, and then swagger through the burned woods, but whenever a spark ignites their robes, these guys are all blown into ashes!"
After Mi Yiren had seen the power of the thunder, he had always felt fear of this thing.
"You don't understand that the ignorant are fearless, these scholars must not know how powerful the things they are carrying, and if they do, they will definitely not dare to be so indifferent."
Qi Ning said.
I think when she was in Sizhou County, she also saw a lot of self-proclaimed powerful scholars.
These people pretend to be fearless and fearless on weekdays, and they look like they are righteous and Ling Ran, but as long as Qi Chao gives them a few blows, most of them will cry bitterly and hold their heads and beg for mercy.
And the character and prestige of the scholars they are attached to are gone.
Qi Ning also relied on Qi Chao's fists to avoid the harassment of those Meng Lang scholars.
"Look at them, these guys are really heading in the direction of Emperor Taizu's underground palace."
At this time, Tang Minghu pulled everyone to look into the distance.
"I'm curious now how these guys know that Emperor Taizu's underground palace wasn't completely blown up by the grassland barbarians?"
At this time, Li Yi frowned and asked a question.
Everyone frowned when they heard this.
Obviously, no one has thought about it.
"Could it be that these people are in collusion with the steppe barbarians?"
Qi Chao then said.
"It's unlikely! If these people really colluded with the steppe barbarians, they could have directly smuggled the thunderbolts into the hands of the steppe barbarians, so why did they take such a big risk and do it themselves! ”
Jingzizheng shook his head, rejecting Qi Chao's speculation.
"Then the only possibility left is that these people have already arranged eyeliner among the mausoleum guards long before the grassland barbarians attacked the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu!"
Li Yi thought for a moment and then said.
"In this way, these people have the same purpose as the steppe barbarians, and even they planned earlier than the steppe barbarians!"
Tang Minghu said incredulously.
"It's terrible if that's the case."
Guo Li was directly shocked by Li Yi's words, and even forgot the pain on his body.
He couldn't believe that there were still people in the Dayu Dynasty who dared to defy the condemnation of the world and prepare to blow up the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu.
"Destroying the emperor's mausoleum is a great crime to destroy the nine clans!"
Huang Budo also couldn't believe that someone dared to have such guts.
"But if they succeed, the last dragon vein of the Dayu Dynasty will be completely cut off, and then the Dayu Dynasty will be able to subvert the people with ill intentions and take advantage of the situation, and they may also have a chance to sit on the supreme throne that everyone covets."
Li Yi said with a sneer.
Taejiko once told him that if the benefits of a thing can exceed three times the cost, then there will be countless people rushing to do it at the risk of losing their heads.
And compared to having the opportunity to fight for that supreme right, the so-called risk of being wiped out by the Nine Clans is really not worth mentioning.
"These people came to blow up Emperor Taizu's underground palace to destroy the Dayu Dynasty?"
Huang Budo felt incredible when he heard this.
He thought it was crazy.
"Otherwise, what do you think they put so much effort into bringing the thunder at all costs?"
Mu Junhe snorted coldly.
"These people are terrible!"
Everyone felt chills all over their bodies when they heard this.
"Alright, now that their actions have confirmed our suspicions, let's take them down first!"
Li Yi saw that the time was almost up, so he spoke.
"Then what should we do with these soldiers of the country? Do you want to just kill them? ”
Qi Chao looked at the busy Guozi Eunuchs and asked.
"At this time, the outside of Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb is full of grassland barbarians, if our movement here is too big, it is likely to attract their attention, so I suggest that it is safer to deal with them directly."
An Su pointed in the direction of the gate of Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum and said.
"No, although these scholars are guilty, they are not guilty to death!"
Qi Ning stood up to stop him at this time.
Although directly killing these national eunuchs could avoid being discovered by the steppe cavalry, it always made her feel unkind and righteous to do so.
And Li Yi thought about it, and finally shook his head at everyone and said.
"Qi Ning is right, although these people are guilty, they are only accomplices, and we can't kill them all because of this."
"In that case, let's start with some measure! But injuries are inevitable. ”
Qi Chao saw that his sister was opposed, so he could only obey.
"Try to knock them all out and don't let them make too much noise."
Li Yi immediately twisted his wrist and said.
