Chapter 33: The Tomb

Song Wan walked in front, Xiao Beichen followed behind him slowly, and said cautiously: "Wanwan, how is Su Yumo, was sent back to the house?" ”

"Hmm"

"Have you detoxified the Gu poison on his body?"

"Hmm"

"Yuwen Sakura was rescued?"

"Hmm"

"You're not mad at me anymore?"

"Uh-huh?" Song Wan stopped and looked back at Xiao Beichen, who was smiling triumphantly, and said coldly: "What are you laughing at, who asked you to come with you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, and secretly thought: Can he not follow, wouldn't she be even more angry if he didn't follow? "Wanwan, didn't you ask me where I went that night before you went to Yuwen Ying, in fact, I accidentally found something interesting, so I went to check it out."

"What?"

Seeing that his attention was finally diverted, Xiao Beichen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "A group of suspicious people have recently appeared in Yangzhou, although they are all dressed as businessmen and mixed in with the people, but according to my investigation, the identities of these people are not simple, I suspect that they are the dead soldiers raised by people in Beijing." ”

"Dead?"

"Yes, there are rules in the imperial court, and only those who have the status of the royal family or above can raise the dead, and I have just confirmed my guess from Yuwen Ying's mouth, I believe that the person who saved her today must also be the person who is hiding behind the scenes, as for her identity"

"Are you suspicious of King Qi?"

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen shook his head, frowned lightly and said: "Lord Tian is King Qi's person, with the current situation in the court, he will not easily give up a chess piece that still has use value, and the last time I talked to him, I found that although his purpose for coming here is not pure, it is obvious that he will not know much earlier than us about Lord Tian's affairs, so it should not be him." ”

"Hmm.... Excluding King Qi, the six princes have been abolished, and the eleventh prince is still young, so who else? ”

"Actually, there is another candidate, but"

"But what?"

"Hehe, but if it's really that person, then he hides it deep enough" After that, Xiao Beichen glanced at Song Wan, who was obviously still out of the situation, and said softly to him: "Don't think about it, put this aside in advance, and wait for us to return to the capital to discuss it in the long run, whether this person is a god or a ghost, we will come to block it, and the water and soil will cover it." ”

"Yes, anyway, Yuwen Ying has also been rescued now, it's a big deal that you will redo your beauty trick then, after all, once you are born and twice cooked, you will never get tired of it, right?"

Forehead.... How to bring this matter back again, Xiao Beichen stroked his forehead helplessly, and just about to speak, a deafening sound suddenly sounded on the other side of the suburbs, and then there were dots of firelight, and at the same time, accompanied by thick smoke rising into the air, this scene appeared on such a night, how weird it is! Seeing this, the two glanced at each other, and resolutely turned around and walked towards the hillside where the accident occurred.....

Outside the tomb, when Xiao Beichen and Song Wan arrived, the building was already empty, and all that was left was the door of the cave, which had obviously been blown up with gunpowder, leaving mottled traces... Looking at the cave as deep as a black abyss, Song Wan took the lead and said, "Do you know that there is still a tomb hidden here?" ”

"I don't know" Xiao Beichen frowned and pondered for a long time, and in the flash of light, he seemed to realize Ji Qi's purpose for coming here, "Has Wanwan heard of the treasure of the Jiang Dynasty?" ”

"What is this?"

"It is rumored that during the Jiang Dynasty, the god of war King Su was distinguished by his outstanding achievements, which attracted the suspicion of the king and triggered the catastrophe..... There is speculation that he was eventually hunted down by the king and executed by Ling Chi, but a small number of people felt that he should have successfully escaped and spent the rest of his life incognito. There are many opinions, and there is no way to find out whether it is true or false, but"

"But that treasure is the thing that the world is most worried about?"

"Hehe, yes, according to legend, it is equivalent to hollowing out half of the kingdom of the Jiang Dynasty at that time, and even today, if anyone gets it, it can be described as a tiger with wings for themselves, so since ancient times, many people have come to find it."

"You mean, King Qi came to Yangzhou this time for the treasure?"

"I'm not sure, but it's not far from ten, recently someone in the capital has released rumors, saying that the treasure has appeared in Yangzhou, and has attracted a group of people to come here.

I see! No wonder Ji Qinian hurried to Yangzhou after receiving the letter one night, at that time she thought that he was going to visit her relatives and fulfill his promise, who knew that the truth would be so slap in the face.... Thinking of this, Song Wan pondered for a while, and said, "In any case, since this place has been excavated, I believe there is no value." This place should not stay for a long time, I am afraid that there will be an ambush behind, let's evacuate first" Saying that, looking at Xiao Beichen looking at the tomb cave motionless, Song Wan didn't have time to say anything, and saw that he had already stepped into the cave alone....

"Xiao Beichen" After following him inside, Song Wan reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and said anxiously: "We have all guessed the purpose of King Qi, and there are people everywhere in the empty state, doesn't it mean that he has already come to the scene, and it is very likely to set up an ambush to wait for the latecomers, you are rushing in now, aren't you just looking for death?" ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger" Xiao Beichen's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said in a low voice: "Besides, I don't believe that he can really spy on another meaning of this treasure, who can have the last laugh is not necessarily!" ”

"What, you"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xiao Beichen walked towards the place that looked like a black abyss by himself.... Seeing this, Song Wan, who was not worried about him alone, could only helplessly keep up. Well, if there is any accident later, at least this time she is not alone....

The more he walked in, the more there was no light, and he relied on the two of them touching the uneven wall and moving forward slowly, "Xiao Beichen, do you think anything is strange?" ”

"Hmm" Xiao Beichen touched the stone lion's head that had appeared countless times, and said with annoyance: "We have been playing in circles in place. ”

"It's not just a circle, I feel that every step we take, the scene in front of us is darker than the last time, this is not an ordinary lost, but like the gossip array I saw in Zhu Yuhu's mansion before."

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, if you look carefully at the statues on the wall, they are the same shape, but you should be able to find a breakthrough here."

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen settled down and focused on touching the lines on it.... In the middle of the night, sure enough, he found a strange place, there was a statue engraved on the back of a 'war' word, he pressed down hard, and before the two of them could react, the oil lamp hanging on it lit up for no reason, and the door on the wall slowly opened, only to see that there was nothing inside as they expected, only a pool of water next to it rippled with a pool of turquoise water, in this dark closed hole, I don't know how it was filled, but it was a big singularity!

"Xiao Beichen, look" Following the direction pointed by Song Wan, he looked at the exotic characters in front of him that were obviously not engraved in the Central Plains dialect, stepped forward and stroked their handwriting of different sizes, and said: "That's right, this is the text used during the Jiang Dynasty, it seems that the rumors are true, King Su was indeed stationed here during his lifetime." ”

"But at first glance, it doesn't seem like there's anything you're looking for, right?"

He didn't reply, just turned around and walked in the other direction, "Wanwan, don't you think it's strange that since this cave is full of old things, only the pool here is still clearly visible, as if it doesn't fit in with this place?" ”

"Yes, but you can see the bottom of this pool at a glance, what can you hide?"

"Maybe it's not as simple as we see" After saying that, Xiao Beichen reached into it, and the strange thing was that the clearly visible pool bottom did not appear his hand! Seeing this, both of them couldn't help but be taken aback, "How could it be?"

Xiao Beichen continued to probe in, and felt a shape on the edge of the edge of the pool, he pushed it up, only to see a strange noise from its tail. Song Wan walked over to take a look, and found that a book of cheats that recorded in detail how to control the enemy on the battlefield and how to be surprisingly invincible was being properly placed in it, and it was only given to those who were destined....

"Hehe, the world only knows that the treasures of King Su must be countless gold, silver and jewelry, but for him as the god of war, no mountain of gold can be worth every battle he has won, and this secret book is really the treasure he is most proud of."

"I see, how do you know that there is such a mystery in it?"

"Eh" Although he didn't want to admit it, this was another secret that he still couldn't tell...."Wanwan"

Boom, boom.... His words were interrupted by the sound of a shaking mountain, "It's gunpowder!" I saw that the cracks in the ground from far and near were getting bigger and bigger, and the place where Song Wan was standing was about to be hit by the rocks that shook down from above, "Wanwan, be careful" Xiao Beichen pulled her wrist, and as soon as he pulled her into his arms, the stones fell down and smashed to pieces....

"What if there is nothing to hide here?"

"Wanwan, pool" Xiao Beichen pulled her over and said categorically: "You also saw it just now, this place is unfathomable, and this water is still clear, it should be through the transition of the outside place" Boom, boom.... Looking at the cave that was quickly falling apart, Xiao Beichen could only choose to give it a go, "Wanwan, time is running out, we can only gamble." ”

"Good!" Soon after they jumped into the water, the cave collapsed in an instant because it could not withstand the power of gunpowder, and it was completely reduced to a place of ruins.....

"King Qi, why did you destroy this place, isn't it that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?" Outside the tomb, Pei Ze frowned as he looked at the place in front of him that had become a ruin, and asked puzzledly.

"Hehe, it's okay! I just accidentally saw a rat entering, and if such a harmful thing can be annihilated in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be better for the people! ”

"Rats? King Qi"

"Pei Ze" Ji Qinian turned to look at him and ordered: "Since the things have arrived, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, pass the order to go down, pack up, and I will rush back to the capital overnight." ”

Hearing this, although Pei Ze knew that this move was too strange, he also understood that this was indeed not a good time to get to the bottom of it, so he could only go down and pass the word first....

After the people had gone away, Ji Qinian turned around and looked at the long-lost tomb and thought: Xiao Beichen, it would be best if you die in it, and avenge my original autumn hunting, otherwise..... Scold! I'd like to see what else you can do to fight with me in the court now!
