Xu Ying said, "Master Yu, how did you get here?"

Yu Changchang had a showdown with Xu Yingyang the day before yesterday, and he no longer concealed it at this time, and immediately told Xu Yingyang the purpose of this trip. Xu Yingyang pondered for a moment and said, "Since Master Yu Zhuang wants to make this deal, Xu is willing to help......

Yu Changchang was overjoyed and said, "Lord Xu is willing to help, that's the best." At this moment, we have arrived at Lotus Mountain, and we have a map in hand, this transaction will only make money and not lose money, and everyone will get rich together. If Lord Xu still wants to be an official, he spends a lot of money, but I am afraid that this Jinyi Guard Commander is also in Lord Xu's pocket. At that time, our brothers will have to take care of you. ”

Xu Yingyang said: "Does Master Yu know why I left the Gu family's old store the day before yesterday?"

Although Yu Changchang had a lot of doubts in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, and said: "Lord Xu left the inn, he has his own reason to leave, where do we dare to guess?"

Xu Ying said: "The identity of the woman in white is very suspicious, so Xu chased after her." It's just that things were in a hurry, and I didn't have time to say hello to everyone. It's just that Xu chased not far away, and was intercepted by the Taishan faction, Xu killed several disciples of the Taishan faction, but this fetter disappeared the trace of the woman in white. Xu chased down all the way, and encountered several groups of people on the road, but he never found the woman in white. Later, near Lotus Mountain, this kid suddenly made a sneak attack. The sword in his hand was as sharp as clay, cutting off Xu's long sword, and I fought and retreated here, fortunately, I met a few owners, otherwise Xu's face would be embarrassed this time. ”

Li Qiufeng stood on the hillside and heard Xu Yingyang's words clearly. He thought to himself: "Xu Yingyang's words are unclear, and there are many places to hide. These people are kind on the surface, but they have their own ghosts, and they are not good matches. ”

Yu Changchang and the others gave a few humble words, and then walked up the slope with Xu Yingyang. When Xu Yingyang saw Li Qiufeng, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said, "Isn't this Lord Li?

Li Qiufeng arched his hand and said: "Lord Xu, Li is no longer Jinyiwei, the word 'adult' is ashamed." ”

Yu Changchang said on the side: "Brother Li has long promised to do this deal together, and I hope that Lord Xu will take care of it." ”

Xu Yingyang stared at Li Qiufeng and said, "I heard that Brother Li also took a felony from the prison, I don't know where that person is now?"

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, Yan Dufei had already stepped forward, took off the human skin mask on his face with his right hand, and said, "The felony is here, does Lord Xu still want to arrest me?"

Xu Ying said, "Sure enough, it's you! Mr. Yan is not harmed?"

Yan Dufei said: "It's easy to say, thanks to the blessing of the adult, Yan is not dead." ”

On that day, Yan Dufei was captured by Yang Zhenzhong, and Xu Yingyang also went to the prison and wanted to interrogate Yan Dufei. It's just that he has always been the confidant of Yun Feiyang, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he strictly ordered the guards in the middle of the earthquake to not let Yun Feiyang interfere in this matter. Although Xu Yingyang arrived in the prison, he was stopped outside by the guards.

Yu Changchang laughed and said: "Brothers, everyone is sitting in the same boat today, and the past grievances are written off. Everyone has to work together now, and if this deal is made, it will be windy, rainy, endless happiness, haha, haha. ”

At this time, it was already dark, and Yu Changchang ordered not to light a fire, and Zhuang Ding had already sent dry food, and everyone ate it hastily. Yu Chang said: "Tonight, let's explore the imperial tomb at night." It's just that the guards of the imperial tomb must be heavily guarded in the first half of the night, so let's rest in the first half of the night, and then enter the imperial tomb after the time has passed. ”

The crowd rested. Li Qiufeng lay on a big rock on the edge of the cliff, listening to the bursts of pine waves, and for a while his heart was full of mixed feelings, and the past passed by in front of him one by one, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he saw that Yu Changchang and the others had already woken up and were busy packing up their things. Yan Dufei saw Li Qiufeng sit up, nodded to him and said, "It's about to be the son, let's get ready to go!"

Yu Chang saw that everyone had finished stopping, and said in a low voice: "Let's set off now, the second child will lead the way in front, everyone must be careful." If you encounter the defenders of the Imperial Tomb, try not to do anything and find a place to avoid them. If you are separated, you will come back here and gather together. ”

Zhuang Hengyun led the way first, Yu Changchang and the others followed, and the Zhuang Ding of the Five Tiger Villa stayed where they were and waited for news. Zhuang Hengyun has been snooping in the imperial tomb for many years, and he has already found a secret passage. This road first goes north, to the north peak of Lotus Mountain, and then turns east, you can go directly to the Kang Mausoleum of Emperor Zhengde.

The seven people are all masters of martial arts, although it is in the middle of the night, but it is also high and low, less than an hour, has crossed the north peak of Lotus Mountain, to the red wall of Kangling. At this time, it was late at night, under the starry sky, the tall red wall blocked in front of everyone, and the dark shadow of the palace could be seen when looking up. The mountain wind blew, and the sound of gongs and drums could be faintly heard.

Yu Changchang said in a low voice: "Do the defenders of the Imperial Tomb still have to beat gongs and drums at night?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Big brother, don't be surprised, this is not knocked by someone." There is a drum tower in the imperial tomb, on which the golden gong and the big drum are hung, and people are ordered to beat it every time there is a big sacrifice. What we heard was the sound of the wind blowing on the gongs and drums. ”

The seven gathered under the red wall, and Yu Chang said, "The place marked on Brother Yan's map is on the northwest corner of Kangling. We are facing west of Kangling at this time. After entering the imperial tomb for a while, we followed the second child to the north. Remember to avoid getting involved with the Imperial Tomb Guards to avoid startling the snakes. We are here for money, not a fight in the rivers and lakes, everyone must keep it in mind. ”

Everyone nodded yes, Zhuang Hengyun lightly jumped on the wall, he looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Big brother, you bring you up!"

Everyone jumped up to the wall with their own light skills, but they saw that there was a large open space inside the wall, and there were several palaces built in the distance, but there was not a single tree. The entire imperial mausoleum was dark and dreary, without the slightest light. Zhuang Hengyun said in a low voice: "The Imperial Tomb guards are divided into twenty-four teams, and there are two teams patrolling around every hour, so we need to be careful to avoid them." ”

After Zhuang Hengyun finished speaking, he propped up his right hand on the wall, and jumped off the red wall and landed lightly in the courtyard. The other six also jumped into the hospital. Zhuang Hengyun led the way first and walked north along the red wall. When everyone landed, they found that the open space was paved with large pieces of bluestone, smooth and neat, and there was not even a single weed.

While walking, Zhuang Hengyun suddenly stopped, waved his right hand lightly, and everyone hurriedly fell to the ground. I saw a fire flickering not far away, but I saw two groups of people walking from the west and east sides. Each of these two teams consisted of twenty-four men, each with a steel sword at his waist and a torch in his hand. The two teams met in front of a palace, but they did not stop, staggering. All they could hear was the sound of their boots, and they each walked south along the clearing, and soon disappeared behind another palace.

Zhuang Hengyun saw that the guards had gone far, so he stood up and continued to lead everyone north. This time, not far away, a side room appeared in front of him, dark and gloomy in front of the seven people. Zhuang Hengyun said in a low voice: "After this wing, it will not be far from the emperor's mausoleum. ”

Yu Changchang asked in a low voice, "Second brother, when you came before, was there anyone in this room?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "These are all houses where objects are placed during the sacrifice, and no one lives in them at ordinary times. The Imperial Tomb Guards lived outside the front hall, far away. It's just that after this wing is the apse, that is, the mound where the emperor is buried, where there are guards on duty all day, and the defense is extremely strong, I have not dared to approach it all these years, everyone must be careful......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone cough.

The seven of them were startled, and in this dark and dreary night, someone coughed coldly, and when it reached everyone's ears, it was like a thunderclap. The seven of them looked at each other, and were hesitating, but they saw that the light was turned on in the side room, and a figure appeared in the window, standing up from his cloak.

Yu Changchang was shocked and whispered to Zhuang Hengyun: "Second brother, what's going on?"

Zhuang Hengyun was also shocked, shook his head and said: "I have often come here over the years, and I have never seen anyone in the house......" He said this, and saw that the figure on the window was already dressed and seemed to be about to go out. He didn't have time to say more, but after a slight pull, he tiptoed to the wall, where there were four vats, and everyone followed, hiding behind them.

Li Qiufeng, Yan Dufei, and Xu Yingyang hid behind a big vat, and Yan Dufei said strangely: "Why are there so many vats here?"

Li Qiufeng and Xu Yingyang have been in the palace for a long time, so they naturally know that this big vat is used to store water on weekdays, and once a fire breaks out in the palace, the water in the vat will be used to extinguish the fire. The architectural pattern of the imperial mausoleum is quite similar to that of the imperial palace, and even this large vat has been painted with a lot of gourds. It's just that at this critical juncture, neither of them opened their mouths to explain to Yan Dufei.
