A knife in love

Chapter 1524

Murong Danyan shook his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, my old injury is not a problem. It's just that I heard the sound of horseshoes just now, and it seems to be entangled with the heartbeat. At first, I was just a little flustered, but later, my heart beat faster and faster. Slow down, my chest is extremely disgusting, and I just want to yell. Fortunately, these people walked over, and the breath in my chest became smoother."

Murong Danyan paused when he said this, but his face was still frighteningly pale.She took a deep breath, and then continued: "The monster riding on the horse, judging from the clothes, is very similar to the evil spirit that sister Xiaoyu saw back then. Could it be that we also encountered a hundred ghosts traveling here? ?”

Li Qiufeng said: "If he is really an evil ghost, why would he ignore us and just walk over? I can tell that this person is not an evil ghost, but a Fusang ghost. He is not wearing the armor of our Daming, but probably from the Fusang Kingdom." These Fusang people sneaked into Daming and built a country within a country here, still wearing the armor of the Fusang army. If these bastards gain power, I am afraid that there will be no more descendants of us big men."

Li Qiufeng was so angry when he said this, the veins in his right hand holding the handle of the knife were exposed, and the long knife rattled several times in the sheath.At this moment, Murong Danyan's annoyance in his chest eased a little. After pondering for a moment, he said: "It rained so much today, and they must be going out in the rain to do something important. Could it be that the old thief Liu Shengzongyan thinks that Gaining power, openly sending Japanese pirates to occupy Dongliao County?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "It looks like they don't look like they are going out to fight, but they seem to be going out on patrol. I heard Li Kuijiu said the day before yesterday that if the Liusheng clan and the Japanese pirates who went to the north are combined, there may be no fewer than 3000 soldiers capable of fighting. There are more than 500 Japanese pirates just now. If they go out to fight, the number is slightly insufficient. But if they are patrolling here, more than 500 people are dispatched together, and the number is too large. I can't guess what these guys are going to do. But it doesn't look like they are going to deal with us."

The two discussed a few more words in a low voice.At this time, the rain is getting lighter and lighter, and the thunder has long gone.Although there was still the crackling sound of rainwater falling on the jade wheat leaves, it was much quieter.Li Qiufeng listened intently for a while, and then said to Murong Danyan: "It seems that the gang of Japanese pirates have gone far, let's climb up Old Man Mountain."

Murong Danyan naturally had no objection.The two quietly got out of the jade and wheat field, crossed the stone road, and climbed up to the old man's mountain.At this time, the sky is dark, although it is not that you can't see your fingers, but you can hardly see the situation outside Zhang Xu.The two climbed up the hillside and then climbed cautiously to the top of the hill.After climbing several feet, Li Qiufeng stopped suddenly, and whispered to Murong Danyan, "It's strange, it's really strange. This, this is not a mountain..."

When he said this, he reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, put it close to his nose and sniffed it.

When Murong Danyan saw that Li Qiufeng had stopped, he also stopped.Faintly seeing Li Qiufeng seem to grab something from the ground and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully, Murong Danyan was stunned, not knowing what happened.After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Murong Danyan was even more suspicious, and whispered: "It's not a mountain? What is it? But this mountain is really not high, it can be called a slope."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said, "Isn't it too strange that the soil here is cooked soil?"

Murong Danyan was startled, and said: "Cooked soil? What is cooked soil?"

Li Qiufeng said: "The so-called cooked soil refers to the soil that has been stir-fried in a pot. This old man's mountain is not a mountain, but someone piled up the soil after frying it, and then it became a mountain."

Murong Danyan was taken aback, looked down at the soil under his feet, and then said to Li Qiufeng: "Stir fry? Could it be that the soil on this mountain can be eaten? Could it be that the Japanese pirates hid the food here as a starting point?" Military rations at the time?"

Li Qiufeng said: "No. When the emperor built the tomb, in order to prevent the growth of weeds and weeds on the tomb, the soil covering the tomb was fried in an iron pot to turn it into mature soil, and then used to cover the tomb. In this way, no vegetation will grow on the mausoleum, and insects and ants will not walk through the mellow soil."

Li Qiufeng said here, paused for a while, and then continued: "No wonder there is no grass on the old man's mountain. It turned out to be piled up with mellow soil. This is not a mountain, but a big tomb!"

Murong Danyan was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "Big tomb? Could it be that Liu Shengzongyan died and was buried by the Fusang people? Otherwise, why did the Fusang people build such a large-scale mausoleum here?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Murong, you think highly of Liu Shengzongyan, an old guy. Only an emperor can afford a mausoleum of this size. Fusang people have little knowledge, how can they have such courage? Building such a mausoleum I’m afraid it will take several years to build the big tomb by recruiting 10,000+ peasants. Manpower and material resources, how can it be completed by more than a thousand members of the Liusheng family? What’s more, we had a series of fierce battles with Liusheng Zongyan half a year ago, even if he died Even the Fusang people will definitely not be able to build such a large tomb within half a year."

Li Qiufeng said this, but his heart was also full of surprises, thinking hard about why this large tomb appeared in Dongliao County.Murong Danyan said in a low voice: "Perhaps it was the Liusheng family who, in order to monitor the surroundings, worried that the trees on the mountain would block their vision, so they eradicated all the trees and weeds on the old man's mountain, and then fried the floating soil in an iron pan to cover the mountain. Not a blade of grass grows here."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "Just now I dug two or three feet into the ground, and the place I touched was still cooked soil. It can be seen that it is not just to stir-fry the floating soil and then cover it on the mountain. It takes so much manpower, the people of Fusang It must be unbearable. Liu Sheng Zongyan is old and treacherous, and will not make such a bad move. This big mound must be a big mausoleum, not an ordinary hill."

When Murong Danyan heard what Li Qiufeng said, he was also surprised.She thought for a while, and then said to Li Qiufeng: "If this is really a mausoleum, with such a large scale, it must be the tomb of emperors and generals. Although I don't read much, I also know that the only dynasties that established a country outside the pass are Liao, During the Jin and Jin dynasties, most of the tombs of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom were near Beijing, and they would not appear here. Although the Liao Kingdom was established outside the pass, several capitals were in the north of Liaoyang. here."

When she said this, she paused for a while, and then said: "Dongliao County is a small and remote county. Let alone an emperor, I have never heard of any famous ministers and generals born here. If someone built such a large-scale The mausoleum must be a major event that will cause a sensation in the world, how could we not know about it?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Miss Murong is right. That's where the blame lies. But our most important thing right now is to deal with the Japanese pirates. As for who is buried in this tomb, we don't need to be too entangled. Let's climb to the top of the mountain as soon as possible. Find out where the Yagyu clan's settlement is hidden."
