Chapter 5 1 5 Five-Room Chain
"Although I have tried it with the knife wind, I still have to be careful. Li Wuchang instructed.
This is also from the experience of the Martial Arts Pavilion back then, in a secret room of the Martial Arts Pavilion, it was no problem for the sword wind to sweep through, but when the person stood on the ground, the hidden weapons on both sides were launched without death, which was really scary to death.
This is Li Wuchang's personal test, because his body style is the best.
Under the light of the fire, Li Wuchang once again observed the room, and then took a deep breath.
Boom!
Unrepentant, the broken blade comes out of the sheath.
Li Wuchang's right hand clenched the blade of no regrets, and slowly started his steps, his ears erected, and his eyes scanned around. Jiang Minglun and Mo Tong were on the side, making moves, and the knives were ready at any time.
Soon, most places were trampled through.
A false alarm!
There are no mechanisms.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Whew, whew, whew......
Streams of red energy slashed at the remaining wooden chests, splitting them all up, and as everyone imagined, gold was scattered all over the ground, including gold ingots, small gold bricks, and gold bars.
"Alright, it seems that there are really no mechanisms in this room. Li Wuchang laughed.
There was something strange in my heart.
It stands to reason that this kind of place is full of organs, but unfortunately, there is only a big copper cover at the beginning, and the others are too far away from the imaginary place where the treasure is hidden, and some are too simple.
"Hahaha!"
Mo Tong put the knife back into its sheath, walked quickly to the place where the gold bricks were scattered, grabbed two gold bricks, threw them, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's real gold, this weight is not bad!"
The others also scooped up various forms of gold, and weighed them carefully, and everyone was used to seeing gold, and could roughly measure it.
"Tsk!"
Jiang Minglun swept over the two dozen piles of gold and sighed, "These alone are at least a hundred thousand taels...... His grandmother's, the small 20,000 troops of our French Shuai Army, these are enough to raise for many years. ”
After beating Zhang Zhihai, there were still more than 14,000 troops left, and Li Wuchang recruited a lot in the days before he left the city, making up 20,000.
There must be more now.
The guards all laughed, "Then we can increase the intensity of conscription next!"
Li Wuchang shook his head, "It's okay to recruit soldiers, but our Fa Shuai Army only has Fangling City now, and it is still in the consolidation stage, so there is no need to make it the same as the Hanshui Gang and the Tianluo Gang, we can slowly improve the treatment of officers and soldiers, make the food better, and increase the training intensity." ”
According to intelligence, the Hanshui Gang also has 120,000 troops, and the Tianluo Gang has nearly 100,000 troops.
Among them, there are many old fritters who have been honed by the battlefield.
This is normal, after all, those two gangs occupy two or three counties, and they are still expanding.
As for Zuo Qian, the Dongjiang faction, and the remnant cloud gate, known as the three heroes of Jingzhou, their background is there, and there are naturally a lot of troops under their command, and those who can fight are all around **10,000, in addition to Zuo Qian, the other two factions have also had a lot of expansion actions in these days, and there should be new results soon.
Jiang Minglun agreed with Li Wuchang's statement, and said: "It's good to say that I was stunned, according to our background, the current sphere of influence, and the surrounding situation, the increase in troops really has to be gradual and orderly. The power that can be firmly grasped in the hand is the real strength, besides, there is also a saying that the soldiers are not expensive, and most of the troops have to rely on the elite when fighting a tough battle, as long as the elite withstands the enemy's main force and opens up the situation, other forces can make better contributions. ”
Mo Tong nodded approvingly.
Take the battle of Chengnan as an example, it was because the Guards Legion withstood the enemy's main general Zhang Zhihai head-on, that several other legions were able to make a commotion.
"What about those sarcophagi?"
After the gossip, Jiang Minglun pointed to the sarcophagus covered with lids, "You can't split it with a knife, the lid is too thick, you can only pry it open with a guy, I guess there must be something good in it, maybe it's jewelry." ”
The sarcophagus is about the same size as an ordinary coffin, and the lid is indeed very thick and tightly closed.
One of the guards was quite worried: "If you open it, there won't be a zombie coming out of it, right?"
Everyone laughed.
The guard continued: "What are you laughing at, my grandfather saw zombies with his own eyes, he said that the zombies specialize in sucking the blood of the living, and after sucking their fill, they return to the cemetery to sleep, and the person who is sucked will end up with a human skin, which is quite scary......"
Li Wuchang secretly thought: This zombie is domineering!
Jiang Minglun smiled: "According to what you say, I'm more interested, I want to see what the so-called zombies are, that blind man Chen in the west of Chang'an City often talks about things like gods and ghosts, I always loved to listen ......to it when I was a child."
After that, he looked left and right, and gestured with his hand, thinking about how to start.
Mo Tong was curious: "When you heard that when you were a child, you weren't a little scared? I remember when I was a child, my father always told me ghost stories, so scared that I couldn't eat or eat at night, and I didn't dare to go out at night when I was anxious......
Jiang Minglun explained: "I'm scared too, but the story is really interesting, and I still can't help but want to hear it." ”
Li Wuchang thought for a moment and said, "Leave these sarcophagi alone for the time being, go to the other passage to explore...... Go back to the two of them, and tell the people above that they are safe, so that they will not be in a hurry, and the others will continue to walk. ”
Jiang Minglun smiled, "It's okay, let's search out all the gold first." ”
Everyone continued to walk along the passage on the right, and two guards went back the same way to report the news, because there was no mechanism all the way, so there was nothing to worry about.
The passage was as cold and damp as it had been, with occasional droplets of water falling.
"Don't relax, be careful. Li Wuchang reminded in time.
Be careful, you can't relax your vigilance just because of what went well just now, who knows what tricks King Fang Ling has.
Everyone's understanding of King Fangling is limited to a general legend.
Everyone knows that he is a talented man who is both civil and military, but he doesn't know much about his personality, temperament, and means, but it is certain that King Fang Ling is definitely not a simple character.
The prince, the mother family is not obvious, there is nothing to rely on, he was suppressed by the queen in the palace, pretending to be stupid, and later traveled directly out of the palace, settled in Fangling, was named the king of the county, and made great contributions to the development of Fangling City, and was finally positioned as a rebel, and died violently on the way to escort.
This is the general outline of the legend.
Although the ending is very tragic, if he didn't have a few brushes, maybe he would have died violently when he was in the palace, and the secret room he built should not be so simple.
If the boat capsized here because of carelessness, it would be a big joke.
After hearing Li Wuchang's reminder, everyone raised their vigilance again, walked very slowly, and carried out with torches, and every few steps, they must carefully inspect the stone walls on both sides, just in case.
"Hey, it's wider......"
After a short time, everyone came to an open space, five zhang square, not a secret room, and there was nothing suspicious.
"Yo, there are four more roads!" Jiang Minglun observed and found that in addition to the passage that came over, there were four passages in other places.
"Tsk, it can't be a labyrinth, is it?"
Li Wuchang thought that there were five "small islands" in the swamp, which were not far apart, and said, "It can't be a five-room chain, right?"
Jiang Minglun nodded immediately, "Yes, five islands, corresponding to five roads, if you guess correctly, there should also be copper covers on the other islands, and after uncovering, you can go straight below." ”
Everyone thinks this statement makes a lot of sense.
Mo Daodao: "As long as it's not a maze, it's easy to say, I'm really worried that I'll get lost when I walk in." ”
