The old man took Cao Cao and Princess Sanssouci into the desolate and abandoned palace of the King of Qin, and Princess Sanssouci volunteered to 'clean up' the pheasant, while the old man continued to heal Cao Cao Yungong until he woke up.

After listening to the experience, Cao Cao felt infinite emotion in his heart, as the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing, just let a pampered delicate girl suffer so much for herself, Cao Cao has mixed feelings in his heart.

He looked at the tears, sweat, blood on Princess Sanssouc's face and the soot accidentally stained by the roast chicken, which had made her a big 'flower face'. He looked at her hand again, was this still the soft and delicate jade hand!?

Cao Cao looked sad, he really couldn't imagine how a delicate and weak princess did these things?

Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort to her, Cao Cao suddenly thought: "Senior Feng, how did you get out of Julu City?

"Oh, that's right, according to our plan, the old man set fire everywhere in the palace of the giant deer and horns, causing chaos, and using the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, so as to help you find the whereabouts of the princess. After the old man got rid of the Yellow Turban Army, he went out of the city to wait for you two at the mass grave as scheduled, but when it was dawn, he didn't see you appear. “

"Well, I'm ashamed to say it, but it's actually ...... The two juniors were caught by mistake. Cao Cao smiled bitterly.

"This old man already knows that when you were unconscious, Princess Sanssouci had already told the old man what had happened. After waiting for a long time on the mass grave, the old man knew that something was wrong, and was about to return to the city to look for it, but found that the city gate was under martial law, and a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers went out of the city to search for him, so he arrested a forced question, only to know that the young man had finished and escaped from Julu City with the princess. “

"Let the seniors bother, the juniors are so guilty, but the whereabouts of the younger brother Cao Hong are unknown, and the old Feng seniors have never met him?"

"No, the old man waited for a long time in the mass grave, and did not see any of you, and thought that you had returned to Qinghe, so he left the mass grave, and came here to visit an old man, I don't want to be in chaos, my old man has already moved his family to another place, when the old man was lost, he believed in the reins of the horse, and he was ready to catch a pheasant. “

Cao Hong's life and death are uncertain, his whereabouts are unknown, Cao Cao is very worried in his heart, he was injured, did he escape from Julu City?

Princess Sanssouci comforted: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, he will definitely be fine, Brother Cao, don't be too anxious." ”

Cao Cao nodded, he looked at the familiar palace of King Qin, his heart was surging, he really didn't expect that God would arrange for him to revisit his hometown, it seems that there is a providence in the dark.

It's too late to sigh more, because Lu Wanggu only gave a three-day time limit, after this series of changes, most of the time has passed, and if you don't hurry back to Qinghe, the consequences will be unimaginable.

'The demon of the Zhang family, who committed a great crime, kidnapped the princess and exterminated the nine clans. At present, the big enemy is turning the big thing into a small one, and everyone is happy to send the princess back. Within three days, the top of Ganling, the expiration date, the jade will be burned!' The words on the scroll, every word were engraved in Cao Cao's mind.

"However, this is still a corner of the territory, but I'm afraid of ....." The wind veteran reminded.

"It's okay, don't hide it from your predecessors, there is a tunnel in this Qin Palace, which can lead directly to the ancient temple of the river, so you can naturally avoid the pursuit of the Yellow Turban Army. ”

Then without further ado, Cao Cao led the way, and the three of them found the hundred-year-old locust tree.

Its body had long since been destroyed by the serpent, leaving only a bare half-trunk and the entrance to the black hole.

Cao Cao imitated Xiahoudun's practice and found some brown wooden rafters to use as torches, and Princess Sanssouci was very curious and followed to help.

Cao Cao lit one with a fire breaker, and after it burned sufficiently, it was gently thrown into the black hole, and after a while, he heard the muffled sound of the wooden rafters falling to the ground.

"What is this?" she asked.

"He's trying to see if the cave is ventilated. The wind veteran replied.

"Oh, I see, this wood has been drenched in water, how can it burn so easily?" she was even more surprised.

Cao Cao looked at her curious eyes and said, "When the palace was built, in order to prevent embalming, these rafters were soaked in fish oil, so they were used to help us make torches. ”

"Soaked in fish oil and can be used as a torch, aren't they afraid of a fire in the palace?"

Princess Sanssouci's questions came one after another, and Cao Cao didn't know how to answer, so he asked softly, "Does the princess know why this place is called the Qin Palace?"

Princess Sanssouci shook her head.

"This place was originally called 'Qin Imperial Palace', named after the reign of the First Emperor of Qin, because he was here when he toured the world. “

"Qin Shi Huang?" Princess Sanssouci blurted out.

"Exactly, it is the princess's ancestor emperor, who toured Mount Tai to the east, unfortunately contracted an illness, and rushed back to Xianyang on the way, where he recuperated. “

"Oh, I know, everyone in the world knows about this matter, his old man unfortunately died, and the fate of my Great Qin has changed ......"

It is said that the Prime Minister Li Si thought that this was an ominous place and that it was unlucky for the First Emperor's illness, and he strongly opposed the First Emperor's presence here, but unfortunately the First Emperor did not listen. The wind veteran also interjected.

"My ancestor emperor, who proclaims to be the overlord of the world, how can he believe in evil words? It's just that his old man can't think of it, don't say that the inheritance he left behind, even our Ying clan, now I am the only one left......" said him, tears rolling down.

Maybe she is sad about the glory of the Ying family, or maybe she is sad about her own life experience.

Cao Cao comforted: "Don't be sad, princess, no matter what, after so many years, there are still descendants of relatives who can come to pay their respects, and the first emperor should be relieved that he knows about it." “

The air was silent for a moment, and Princess Sanssouci fell to her knees and bowed a few times.

Cao Cao picked her up, then jumped into the cave with her in his arms.

The old man of the wind held the torch in front, Cao Cao supported Princess Sanssouci behind, and the three of them carefully entered this underground passage that seemed to be round but not round, square and not square, and winding.

The dirt road under your feet is damp and muddy, and it is slimy to step on, and there are too many stains on your shoes, so you need to stop and clean up.

Because Cao Cao came once, he knew that this tunnel was very difficult to walk, although the feet were slippery, but fortunately there was no stagnant water, but the further he went, the worse the air quality became, and the smell of mold and rot was pungent to the nostrils.

Princess Sanssouci didn't have a good ankle yet, and the sticky mud was on her feet, so she walked very slowly, and the tunnel was wet and cold, she followed closely behind Cao Cao, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Cao, you just said that there was a big snake here?"

"Yes, it's long, big, and fierce. ”

"Then, will there be another one?"

"I don't think so, princess, rest assured, the big snake has already died at the foot of Woniu Mountain. ”

Soon, the three of them walked to the ear chamber they had encountered last time, and there were twenty or thirty white bones neatly stacked in the ear chamber four or five steps square, exactly the same as the last time they came.

Seeing the white bones of Sensen, Princess Sanssouci was a little nervous, and her body was close to Cao Cao.

Senior Feng held a torch, got closer and watched carefully, and said as he watched: "It seems that these people are all put together after death. When he turned his head, he saw a jumble of hoes and baskets, just the outlines of hoes and baskets, to be precise, because they had rotted away over the years, and only a trace remained.

The last time Cao Cao and Xiahoudun saw this scene, they once suspected that these people were the people who dug the tunnel, and Cao Cao still clearly remembered that there were more corpses at the end of the passage.

These people may be related to Qin Shi Huang, the ancestor of Princess Sanssouci, could they be his subordinates?

The possibility is not very high, because according to the history books, when the First Emperor arrived at this Qin palace (then called the sand dune platform), he was already terminally ill, and legend has it that he was not sober, otherwise why would he be so confused that he set up a loser Hu Hai as his successor? If the First Emperor was already in this state at that time, what reason was there to send someone to dig tunnels?

Moreover, at that time, the people who could be in charge were none other than Li Si, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, after the first emperor was violent, they were afraid that the matter would be exposed, and they hurried back to Xianyang, so there was no reason to dig tunnels.

Dig a tunnel and go down to Xianyang from the ground? ghosts don't believe it!

It is even more impossible to bury the First Emperor inside, he is obviously in the Lishan Mausoleum!

Guessing this, Cao Cao even felt ridiculous to himself.

However, his train of thought inspired the wind seniors, "Could it be to bury something?"

As soon as this sentence was said, the more he pondered it, the more it made sense, and the old man Feng looked at Princess Wuwu and asked, "Since the princess is a descendant of the Ying family, has she ever heard of any clues?"

Princess Sanssouci couldn't help but shake her head: "I haven't even heard of this place before. ”

"Could it have something to do with the Twelve Golden Men?" the old man asked again.

"Oh, the seniors have also heard of the Twelve Golden Figures?" Cao Cao said in surprise.

Cao Cao is also from Zhang Jiao's secret room, the first time to hear Princess Sanssouci talk about this secret, according to what she said, Zhang Jiao, what Sima family, is to learn from her about this huge wealth, but the specific information, even she, the only descendant of the Ying family today, does not know, the years have passed, nearly 400 years, this secret is no different from the legend.

The old man Feng paused for a moment and said: "I think that when Qin Shi Huang collected the world's weapons and forged the twelve golden people, who in the world does not know? It's just that after the death of Qin, the twelve golden people disappeared, and the legend is that they were hidden by the descendants of the Ying family. ”

"If he really has a huge treasure in his hand, how can he have been nesting in Lu Wanggu for so many years?" Cao Cao directly denied this possibility.

"Yes, when the ancestors fled from Xianyang, they did bring a lot of money, but there were no gold people. ”

"Haven't your people mentioned it to you in all these years?"

"Yes, yes, but no one knows where the treasure is, let alone how to find it, and sometimes even doubts whether it exists. ”

Listening to the conversation between the old Feng seniors and the princess of Sanssouci, Cao Cao couldn't help but interject: "Senior, you also said that the Twelve Golden Men were cast in Xianyang back then, and since the Great Qin has died in the country, what means do the descendants of the Ying family have to transport it all the way here?"

In the end, the three of them didn't have the heart to say any more, it has been nearly 400 years since the disappearance of the Twelve Golden People, how can there be any news in the world?

Instead of guessing about these things here, it is better to get out of the tunnel and rush back to Qinghe as soon as possible.

By the flickering firelight, the three of them hurried away, according to Cao Cao's memory, not far in front should be the end of the tunnel, there is also a big tree, out of the tree hole is the ancient temple of the river.

But as they walked, there was suddenly no road ahead, and what appeared in front of the three of them turned out to be a 'dead end'.

After going so far in this dark and damp tunnel, I didn't expect that the end was a dead end.
