Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 464 An Extremely Frightening Opponent (4200)

After they entered the Camel Tomb, there was definitely someone in the palace!

And from the very fresh grape skins and cantaloupe skins on the side of the fruit bowl, as well as the incisions on the cantaloupe that have not been oxidized and discolored, it can be inferred that the visitors should not have eaten these fruits for a long time. effort.

of course.

It cannot be completely ruled out that these fruits have also been affected by this strange world, and have become things that will not oxidize and rot. After all, it has been a week since Wu Liang and others left the city, and these placed The fruit in the banquet hall is still as fresh as the last time I saw it...

While Wu Liang was analyzing in his mind.

"Brother talented, what do you think is that?"

Zhuge Liang took the lead in discovering a small lump of foreign matter on the ground near the exit of the banquet hall, and stretched out his hand to point it out.

"Wait for me to see?"

Wu Liang looked in the direction Zhuge Liang pointed.

It was a small lump like chicken feces, it looked sticky and greasy, and its color was more white, but there was a little red in it...

At first glance, Wu Liang really couldn't tell what it was.

So he walked a few steps forward under Dian Wei's guard until he came to the small lump, squatted down and took a closer look.

"Leftover pomegranate seeds?"

Wu Liang was taken aback.

He has eaten pomegranates in later generations, and he loves pomegranates, so he is no stranger to pomegranate seeds. These are small particles like insect eggs, and there are some transparent ones wrapped in them that have not been completely eaten. Isn't the red pulp the pomegranate seed?

And this man who eats pomegranates obviously has the same way of eating as him.

That is to peel off the pomegranate one by one and save a handful, and then stuff it into the mouth and chew it. At that time, a large amount of pomegranate juice will fill every corner of the mouth, and the sweet taste can fully stimulate all people. The taste buds are simply not too refreshing, it is definitely much more enjoyable than eating one by one.

And only this way of eating can spit out such a small pile of pomegranate seeds instead of one by one.

"It turned out to be just pomegranate seeds. I thought it was something... huh?"

Everyone immediately laughed when they heard the words, but Zhuge Liang immediately thought of something, and quickly said, "Brother Youcai, if we follow the pomegranate seeds that are vomited everywhere, will we be able to know where the people who entered the palace went?"

"That's right, Brother Zhuge is really getting smarter."

Wu Liang nodded in appreciation.

The pomegranate seeds are located on the ground at the exit of the banquet hall, and this exit is the road leading to the bedroom and harem of King Shanshan, so it is not difficult to guess where the mysterious visitor went.

"It's all thanks to the talented brother's careful cultivation."

Zhuge Liang scratched the back of his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Next, everyone should be more careful. We may meet people who enter the palace at any time. Jingjing, you should pay attention to the voice and don't let go of any clues."

Wu Liang then gave another special instruction, and then ordered, "Let's go!"

……

So the mermaids passed through the exit of the banquet hall, and continued to search for a small pile of pomegranate seeds that would appear every few meters.

finally.

The pomegranate seeds brought them to the door of King Shanshan's bedroom.

Wu Liang and others have entered this sleeping hall before, and the soldiers of the Tuan Army often entered it in order to "protect" King Shanshan. Although the area inside is not large, about forty or fifty square meters, the decoration is extremely luxurious , There are so many ivory products, silk products, ceramic products, gold and silverware, and every closet is full of them, it is simply a small treasure room.

A linen blanket with rich patterns was laid on the floor of the sleeping hall, which was soft when stepped on, and no footsteps could be heard.

Oh, right.

Besides.

When everyone entered the Shanshan King's bedroom for the first time, what they were most interested in was actually the "hu bed" of the Shanshan King.

In this era, it is still rare to see "hu beds" in the Central Plains. Princes and nobles sleep on couches, and ordinary people sleep on kangs. This kind of rather large "hu beds" is naturally a rare thing for everyone, but it is not true. It's not surprising, after all, they have slept in the "hu bed" in the small courtyard arranged for them by Apuqiu, after all, they have traveled all the way, especially after entering the city of mud. Not too obvious difference.

What they were curious about were the one-inch-wide ribbons and belts hanging from the roof above Shanshan King's "hu bed". There were also exquisite small buckles made of metal on the belts, which seemed to be just enough to be used as shackles when they were buckled. Use with handcuffs...

This made them very puzzled. King Shanshan is also the king of a country after all, why does the "hu bed" used for sleeping in his bedroom look so much like a torture scene?
Fortunately, all the people in the Ruo army were polite and polite, and they did not ask Shanshan King face to face.

It was only after he came out that he asked Wu Liang in private for advice, because at that time Wu Liang obviously exchanged eyes with King Shanshan, and it was the kind of "I understand you" look, but King Shanshan was a little embarrassed.

"It should be some kind of special custom, don't worry about it."

Wu Liang replied solemnly.

Then she turned around and whispered to Bai Jingjing. For some reason, Bai Jingjing blushed as she listened to Wu Liang's words, her pretty face obviously showed some reluctance, but in the end, after pinching Wu Liang, she shy Nodding, no one knew what the two of them were talking about.

A little too far, let's get down to business.

When everyone came to the door of the sleeping hall, the carved wooden door of the sleeping hall was half-closed, revealing a gap that was as wide as a finger.

Dian Wei and Wu Liang exchanged glances, and then, under Wu Liang's instruction, they slowly moved to the crack of the door and looked inside...

at this time.

"You are finally here."

Suddenly, a dull male voice came from the bedroom, and said in a flat tone, "Since you are here, come in, I have been waiting here for a long time."

"?!"

Although he was mentally prepared, the sudden sound still shocked everyone a little.

Looking at each other like this, Wu Liang nodded slightly to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei raised his hand and pushed open the carved wooden door in front of him, and walked in cautiously.

Wu Liang followed the trend and looked inside.

I saw a middle-aged man with an obvious Europa face leaning quite relaxed on the recliner in the dormitory, holding half a pomegranate in one hand, and some peeled pomegranate fruits in the other hand , the mouth is wriggling gently, and beside the recliner, there are already a few small lumps of pomegranate seeds that have been chewed.

"You stay outside the door, don't let your guard down."

After seeing the situation inside clearly, Wu Liang first gave such instructions to the rest of the people, and then followed Dian Wei into the hall with the vajra umbrella.

Without knowing the other party's background and purpose, he really had to guard against it.

In case this person has already set some kind of trap in the hall in advance, it is very likely that everyone will be taken away when they come in together.

"Bah bah... bah!"

Seeing Wu Liang walking in, the middle-aged man finally straightened up, spit out several times to clean up the pomegranate seeds in his mouth, then looked at Wu Liang with a smile, and said proactively, "Your Excellency doesn't know me, but I But I have already met your Excellency, when you used the power of thunder and fire to kill all directions in Jiani City, I already expected that girl's good luck to come to an end."

"That girl?"

Wu Liang guessed that the person the middle-aged man was referring to should be Fang Qiong.

At the same time, it also draws some other conjectures from the words of the middle-aged man: this middle-aged man should be a resident of Xenni City, and has seen the power of black powder with his own eyes, but the specific identity is unknown.

"Fang Qiong, if I'm not wrong, Fang Qiong should have been successfully eliminated by Your Excellency... I still understand that girl, she is cunning and extremely stubborn, and she will definitely not compromise with Your Excellency. And now that Your Excellency has come back here safe and sound, then there is only one possible result, she may have been completely eliminated by Your Excellency."

The middle-aged man still said unhurriedly, "It's just that I don't understand one thing. Since you can get rid of Fang Qiong, you should already know that the wooden coffin has extremely magical effects, so I don't know why. The only explanation is, why did you not choose to take this rare opportunity for yourself, but instead put my body back into the wooden coffin?"

"What did you say? Your corpse?"

Wu Liang couldn't help being taken aback.

Everyone in the Huanren Army also had expressions of surprise on their faces.

They carefully looked at the middle-aged man's face and compared it with the appearance of the male corpse in memory, probably because the male corpse had already undergone serious weathering outside the wooden coffin. Zhenzhen didn't feel familiar at all, the main thing was that the male corpse had a bald head, while this middle-aged man had dark brown hair.

But looking at it carefully now, they feel that there is a bit of resemblance between the eyebrows and eyes.

and so……

Is this middle-aged man in front of him the "resurrected body" of that male corpse?
"Exactly."

The middle-aged man raised his hand to stroke the hair covering his forehead, and while showing his entire face to Wu Liang and the others, he nodded and said with a smile, "Does it look more like this?"

result.

"Whoa!"

Coincidentally, except for Wu Liang and Dian Wei, the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" that everyone had been preparing for at all times was lifted up instantly, and Wang Shan aimed at the middle-aged man.

Dian Wei didn't use the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" because he held two halberds. If there is no accident at such a distance, he only needs one jump to cut off the middle-aged man's head.

"!"

The middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment, apparently he did not expect such a reaction from the Huan army. He obviously did not show any malice, and even now there is still a kind smile on the corner of his mouth.

But he was not afraid. After being stunned for a moment, he raised his hands again, and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't get excited, I am unarmed now. Besides, you should know that since my body has been buried again That wooden coffin, you can’t kill me like this.”

"Let it go."

Wu Liang waved his hands at everyone, and then asked the middle-aged man, "You came here specially to meet us, not just to chat with us, right? What is the purpose, let's put it on the surface?"

"Your Excellency is really refreshing! I hope that Your Excellency will take the initiative to drag my body out of the wooden coffin again, and bury it in any place, or burn it. It doesn't matter, as long as it is not buried in the wooden coffin again."

The expression of the middle-aged man finally became serious, and he said seriously.

"?"

After hearing the words of the middle-aged man, everyone couldn't help being suspicious again.

It stands to reason that being able to keep coming back from the dead is a blessing that many people can't find in their entire lives. Guys like Yu Ji, if Wu Liang didn't stop him, he might have already voluntarily laid down in the wooden coffin .

In the end, the middle-aged man hoped that Wu Liang could drag his corpse out of the wooden coffin, and voluntarily give up this fate...

This is quite unreasonable.

Could it be that the wooden coffin in the tomb of the sun is really as Wu Liang speculated before, in addition to being able to bring people back from the dead, there are other unknown disadvantages, making the so-called "resurrection from the dead" not like As beautiful as imagined?

"Can you tell me in detail why you want me to do this?"

Wu Liang asked without changing his face.

"Actually, there is nothing bad to say. You should have seen the cracks on the wooden coffin, right?"

The middle-aged man asked without answering, "To be honest, although the wooden coffin can bring people back to life, it is almost reaching the limit and may be completely broken at any time. The people inside and the corresponding resurrected people will die together. Now that I have a family and a house, I naturally don’t want to live in such a dreadful life. Besides, at my current age, I should have a longer lifespan than that wooden coffin. This is reason."

Almost at the limit?

Yu Ji suddenly felt depressed.

But these words were in response to Wu Liang's previous reminder to him that they only stayed in the Sun Tomb for a few days, and there was another big crack on the top of the wooden coffin, and this time it was not on the coffin lid, but on the coffin. It is on the body of the coffin, which can be seen from this.

"Isn't it?"

Although Wu Liang reminded us so auspiciously before, he frowned again at this moment, looked at the middle-aged man questioningly and asked, "Fang Qiong tried to instigate us to destroy that wooden coffin before, according to what you said, if that Once the wooden coffin is destroyed, the person lying in it and the corresponding resurrected person will die together, if we really do this, we can kill her without any effort, why would she do this?"

"Hahahaha, as expected of that girl!"

Hearing Wu Liang's words, the middle-aged man suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud, and then asked instead of answering, "Let me ask you a question first, since Fang Qiong once instigated you to destroy that wooden coffin, And why didn't you do that?"

"I can't trust her."

Wu Liang said.

"That's right! This girl understands people's hearts very well, and she is especially good at taking advantage of the weaknesses of people's hearts. She is just taking advantage of your 'unbelievable'. If you think about it carefully, if she doesn't teach you to do this, you might think of destroying it. That wooden coffin is coming against her, that's what she's most afraid of, but after she taught you that, you definitely won't destroy that wooden coffin... aren't you?"

The middle-aged man looked at Wu Liang amusedly and said.

"..."

Wu Liang suddenly lost his voice.

Up to now, he has to admit that although he finally solved Fang Qiong and resolved the crisis of group destruction, in the process of playing games with each other, it was Fang Qiong who won more points. This is an extremely terrifying opponent. An opponent with the ability and brains to play him in the palm of his hand.

This time, he just won by luck, not strength.
