Part 64 Glowing Guards

Zhang Xiao's efficiency is really high, he came over early the next morning, left his subordinates on the corner of the street in order to cover people's eyes, and entered the inn alone, and there were already several people sitting in the house at this time.

Cao Ji saw Zhang Xiao and said with a dry smile: "I didn't expect that Han Gongzi has a big face, and even the little prince will saddle the horse and horse for you." Hearing the words "Little Prince", both Yumeko and Miko were taken aback, and took a good look at the baby-faced young man again.

Zhang Xiao didn't care if anyone had found out his identity, and he said to Han Yue and Huan Yi: "I have inquired that this time the Northern Union secretly raised troops, and the target was an underground palace in Chenliu. It is said that there is Cao Cao's amazing treasure there, and those who get it can get the world. ”

Han Yue and Huan Yi were not surprised by this news, although there was no shortage of gold and silver treasures in the underground palace, the real treasure was Cao Cao, who was about to be resurrected. The most surprised person here was the big gentleman Cao Ji. He never expected that he had been lobbying left and right, originally to let the northern countries jointly attack Jin, but he didn't expect them to come back to fight their own territory without telling him, how did he know the secret of the underground palace? He scolded in his heart through the black veil of his cloak, "These shameless people and barbarian villains", but his eyes stared at Han Yue coldly.

At this time, Han Yue also happened to look at Cao Ji, and his eyes seemed to tell Cao Ji that it was not me. But he asked Zhang Xiao: "When will the army start?"

"It seems to be waiting for some kind of celestial phenomenon that bewitches and guards the heart. ”

This is the most vicious sign of the stars, and usually indicates the subversion of the regime or the change of the throne. Is there really something big going to happen?" Huan Yi knew astrology, and he whispered to Han Yue. Cao Yi suddenly remembered something, he immediately got up and took the compass left by Xiahou Yi, handed it to everyone and said, "This is left by Ah Yi, do you understand?"

Huan Yi took the compass and looked at it carefully for a while, and then said, "You see that the compass pointer refers to the northwest, and the Glowing Star has also been connected, which means that he has predicted the northwest movement and the Glowing Confusion Guard. It seems that he is also a master of astrology. "Although Huan Yi can also do astrology, it is still far from the previous captain Zhizi.

"I originally thought that the northwest referred to by the compass was the Wuji Palace and the Corpse Prison, and it originally referred to the barbarians in the northwest. Since he had predicted it, why didn't he make it clear to me in the letter?" Cao said.

Han Yue slowly stood up and walked to the window without saying a word, staring at the increasingly lively streets and the tall Luoyang Tower in the distance. Originally, he just wanted Xiahou to help him rescue his brother, but he didn't want to cause so many incidents, and the situation was far from what he thought. This time, in addition to the Northern Alliance, the Langya headquarters also intervened and ordered him to destroy the underground palace.

He asked Cao Ji: "Xiahou Yi and the underground palace, which is more important to Mr. Big?"

Cao Ji didn't seem to hesitate, and blurted out: "Naturally, it's Ah Yi." ”

"Good. Please tell Mr. Big about the dungeon. ”

Cao Ji hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The story told by Cao Ji is a bit long.

The underground palace is said to have begun in the Warring States period, perhaps earlier. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he was obsessed with two things, immortality and tomb repair, the former for this life and the latter for the afterlife. After discovering this place, it was built into an underground palace, the original underground palace was much larger than today, and it was connected to three mountains and five mountains through underground rivers, and then it was destroyed and changed several times for more than a thousand years, and many underground rivers have been blocked. The biggest secret of the dungeon is said to be that it can be resurrected. When Qin Shi Huang discovered this place, he was also afraid that he would not be able to find the method of immortality, and he could come back from the dead. It is said that Liu Xie, the late Han Emperor of that year, was forced to concede, and seeing that the general trend had taken the initiative to buy the ministers around Cao Pi, he asked to be the king of Chen Liu, also in order to keep the underground palace and preserve the dragon vein of the Han family.

Cao Cao's Captain Touching Gold had already discovered the underground palace, but he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he didn't mean to be eternal, so he didn't take the underground palace seriously, and naturally he didn't pass on the matter to Cao Pi. But Cao Cao's advisers are not lacking in the Xuanmen people, when Cao Cao built the seventy-two doubtful tombs, he listed the underground palace as the center, and the seventy-two doubtful tombs were also built around it. The Cao clan was replaced by the Sima clan, and the drama of Chan Rang was staged again, and the fief was still Chen Liu. To outsiders, it may seem coincidental or ironic, but in fact it has another meaning.

There are countless capable people among the remnants of the Cao family, but the descendants of the Cao family are not angry, in order to protect the revival of the Cao family, so they thought of resurrecting Cao Cao and regaining the country. Over the years, the descendants of the Cao family have endured humiliation and burdens in the underground palace, just waiting for the opportunity. Whether it is the Rebellion of the Eight Kings or the invasion of the north, the driving force behind it is the shadow of the Cao clan. And the resurrection of Cao Cao is their last trump card.

After Cao Ji told this story, everyone was shocked to hear it. Han Yue was a little disappointed because Cao Ji didn't tell the relationship between him and Xiahou Yi and the story in the underground palace. However, Zhang Xiao asked what he thought for him: "It turns out that the northern countries have joined forces this time for the secret of the resurrection of the underground palace." Then what does Big Brother Xiahou have to do with the underground palace?"

Cao Ji said, "The underground palace is in the hands of the Cao Clan's Elder Council, and Ah Yi is the successor of the Changyang Elder. That is, the future master of the dungeon. ”

Hearing the three words of the Elders' Council, Mengzi couldn't help but think of the terrifying Wuji Old Man, and couldn't help but say to himself, "Are the Elders' Church all extremely terrifying people?"

Han Yue thought that Xiahou Yi was about to become the master of the dungeon, but in order to save his brother, he did not hesitate to betray the dungeon, and after listening to Mengzi's words, his heart was sour.

Cao Ji snorted, and I don't know if he affirmed or denied this statement. "The story is almost over, it's time to think about how to save people. Cao Ji's words brought everyone back to the present.

"What do you think?" asked Huan Yi.

"It's not difficult to enter the dungeon, but I don't know anything about the sub-realm. ”

"It's a big deal to turn over the underground palace, and I don't believe that you can't dig up the sub-realm. Yumeko gritted his teeth and said that he already hated the underground palace.

"I guess those people outside think the same thing, but if it's really so simple, this underground palace won't exist safely for more than 2,000 years. "Huan Yi is still sane.

Han Yue, who had been silent, spoke: "Mr. Big, is he worth doing this?" Xiahou Yi helped him save people, he understood, but the fire burned the Wuji Hall and entered the Asian realm to save people, and the probability of success was unpredictable. Although Xiahou Yi sacrificed his life to save him several times, he only suffered minor injuries, but this time his behavior was too risky.

"That's what I don't understand. Ah Yi has been in the underground palace since he was born, and he has been cultivated as a successor since he was a child, and he has always been cautious in his work. Although Elder Wuji and Elder Weiyang didn't like him, there was no contradiction either. What is the intention of setting off such a big movement this time? What's more, he spared his life. ”
