Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 550 Nao Ji and Nao Zi and Liu Bei (4000)

be honest.

Being so close to this mummy, Wu Liang still felt a little flustered.

After all, in the tomb-robbing novels and movies of later generations, as long as there is a similar action, the mummy under him will definitely explode, causing people's adrenaline to surge.

In addition, in some tomb robbery novels, it is quite mysterious to teach people to take out all kinds of nine-orifice jade from the corpse, to lie face-to-face with the corpse, keep a distance from the corpse, wrap the neck of the corpse and your own neck with the corpse rope, and then slowly get up Put the corpse on, and then go to the corpse to touch the nine orifice jade stuffed into the body.

This is also a scalp-numbing move, lying face to face on the corpse... Wu Liang really wanted to complain, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit deliberate to increase the level of thrilling and sensationalism.

Anyway, he is not sure whether this kind of action can prevent the corpse from turning into a corpse. Even if it is really effective, he will never try it like this, let alone teach the backbone of the army to try it.

As a grave robber.

First of all, he is not interested in Jiuqiao jade at all. After all, Jiuqiao jade in this era is not as valuable as cultural relics in later generations, so there is no need to search and search like this.

Even if he was really interested, he would choose a more secure method - first use a strong rope to tie the corpse into rice dumplings, and then use a clip to take the nine-orifice jade from the corpse. Isn't it delicious?In this way, even if the corpse of the owner of the tomb really changed, there is no way to easily injure others. I don't know how easy it is to deal with such a large number of people.

at the same time.

Dian Wei's actions were also in place. When Wu Liang crossed the legs of the mummy to get the jade pendant, he took advantage of the situation and put a halberd in front of Wu Liang and the upper body of the corpse.

In this way, if something unexpected happened to the corpse, it would be blocked by Dian Wei's hand halberd first. With his extraordinary strength, he could definitely prevent the corpse from touching Wu Liang easily.

result.

Naturally, there is no danger.

When Wu Liang got the jade pendant, there was no abnormality in the corpse curled up under the wooden platform.

Even so, Wu Liang backed out quickly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the jade pendant with a lot of dust through his gloves, and then blew a few times with his mouth. After simple processing.

At this time, the pattern on the jade pendant finally fully appeared.

Wu Liang took a closer look and found that this was a fish-shaped jade pendant carved and polished from white marble. The shape of the fish is not very distinctive, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

On the back of the fish-shaped jade pendant, Wu Liang found a small official script engraved in the center of the jade pendant.

This is a "nao" word.

"mud?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly, trying to find out from the historical knowledge in his mind the person with the "Nao" surname related to Liu Pengzu, even the person with the "Nao" surname during the Western Han Dynasty.

Because people in the Han Dynasty valued their surnames more than their first names, if they wanted to engrave characters on many personal belongings, keepsakes, utensils, and flags, they usually only engraved their surnames, and people's names in this era were sometimes taboo, and even Even calling it out directly will be regarded as offensive and disrespectful. The word "name taboo" is derived from this etiquette rule, so the word "nao" can never be a name, it can only be a surname.

Soon Wu Liang thought of a person who had a lot to do with Liu Pengzu——Nao Ji.

This is a strange woman who many archaeologists of later generations believe can be compared with the four beauties of ancient China. She is recorded in "Hanshu" and "Historical Records".

Nao Ji is also a glamorous beauty who has made three princes fall in love with her one after another.

The first one was her first husband, Liu Fei, King of Jiangdu.

Liu Fei made great achievements in the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" at a young age and was named the king of Jiangdu.

It's a pity that Liu Fei's life didn't last long, and he died in middle age.

Nao Ji became a widow, but there is always a market for beautiful women, and soon she ushered in a second husband.

This second husband is none other than Liu Jian, Liu Fei's own son.

Liu Fei was a hero, but his son Liu Jian was a licentious and immoral person. Liu Fei hadn't been buried at that time, and Liu Jian, the son of the prince, actually occupied Nao Ji in the mourning hall. I have to be wronged and obey.

Later, Liu Jian inherited the position of King of Jiangdu. Not only did he act recklessly, but he even dared to act as the emperor's seal in order to rebel. Suicide.

Nao Ji became a widow again.

At this time, the third prince came to the door, and this person was Liu Pengzu, the owner of the tomb.

Liu Pengzu had long heard that Nao Ji was beautiful and beautiful, so immediately after Liu Jian's death, he tried his best to win Nao Ji over, and gave birth to a son with her not long after.

Later, when Liu Pengzu died, there were no more records about Nao Ji. No one knew where she went and whether she died in the end, and later generations did not find a suspected tomb of her.

and so……

Wu Liang looked up at the female corpse curled up under the wooden platform.

Could it be that this corpse is Nao Ji, who is recorded in both "Hanshu" and "Historical Records"?
Could it be that after Liu Pengzu's death, he still refused to let Nao Ji go, and actually took great pains to build such a mausoleum that went against the grain, not only hiding his property here, but also bringing Nao Ji in to die alive?
This is also true.

After closing the door of the tomb, Nao Ji was tied up without food or drink, so she had to go through an extremely painful struggle, and finally died tragically under this wooden platform?
This possibility is actually very high.

Since Liu Pengzu took great pains to win Nao Ji, he loves her very passionately, but at the same time, various details show that Liu Pengzu is an extremely selfish person, he can deceive everyone and take away all his property, Even if you die, you have to put it under your body. Naturally, you can take the woman you love away with you, so that you can have someone to accompany you after you die.

As for what kind of pain this woman will experience after being martyred alive, it is naturally not within the scope of the extremely selfish Liu Pengzu's consideration.

Just at this time.

"Fourth brother, can you show me this jade pendant?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the door of the tomb, but it should not be here.

Wu Liang and everyone looked back.

At some point, Liu Bei had already sneaked in and entered the tomb.

"Fourth brother Haihan, brother Yu heard that a lot of gold was found here, he was so excited that he forgot fourth brother's instructions, and unknowingly came in with the soldiers who made the coffin."

Liu Bei remembered the reason why Wu Liang didn't let him enter the mausoleum before, with a trace of apology on his face, but his eyes were staring at the jade pendant in Wu Liang's hand, and then repeated, "Fourth brother, I look at this jade pendant very familiarly, Can you show it to me?"

?

Liu Bei's behavior was very abnormal.

If he was just looking for money, he shouldn't be so interested in this jade pendant. After all, even jade was considered a valuable thing in the Han Dynasty, but such a small piece is different from the whole piece of jade pendant made of gold. Compared with the couch made from it, it is simply a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning.

But since Liu Bei brought it up, this face still has to be given.

"Brother please."

With doubts in his heart, Wu Liang turned back and handed the jade pendant to Liu Bei, and then carefully observed the subtle changes on Liu Bei's face.

"Thank you fourth brother."

Liu Bei held the jade pendant very carefully.

First, he took a rough look at one side of the jade pendant, and then quickly turned it over to look at the other side of the jade pendant engraved with the word "Nao".

It was as if... he knew that there must be words on the other side of this jade pendant!
Wu Liang felt even more strange.

He couldn't help thinking of what Liu Bei said when he handed the map to him.

Liu Bei was very sure at that time, guaranteeing that the map and information were true and reliable, but he could not explain where the information about the map and Liu Pengzu's tomb came from.

and so.

Not only did he know the location and secrets of this mausoleum, but judging from the current appearance, he probably also knew that there was such a jade pendant in this mausoleum, or it could be said...he knew that Nao Ji was buried here?
at the same time.

"!"

While turning the jade pendant over, Liu Bei should have seen the word "Nao" on it, and then a very complicated look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

But this complicated look was fleeting.

In the next second, he had tightly held the jade pendant in his hand, smiled at Wu Liang as usual, and asked, "Fourth brother, where did you get this jade pendant?"

"Beside this female corpse, it should be the belongings of this female corpse."

Wu Liang said seriously.

Liu Bei followed the direction Wu Liang pointed to and came to the side of the female corpse, then lowered his body and looked over.

With his face turned away from the torch, he hid all the expressions on his face in the darkness. After observing quietly for a while, he continued to ask without turning his head: "Fourth brother, according to what you can see, is this Why is the female corpse here, and how can she die in such a form?"

"Eighty percent of them should be martyred alive."

Wu Liang could hear a slight trill in Liu Bei's voice, and it was obvious that Liu Bei's mood fluctuated slightly even though it was deliberately concealed, so he continued to truthfully say, "When I was alive, I was bound hand and foot and imprisoned. In this mausoleum, judging from the scattered positions of gold hairpins, sachets and silk shoes, she should have been placed on this couch at that time. Later, when the mausoleum was closed, she began to struggle and try to break free. Died from exhaustion, may be frightened to death, or may have died of starvation under this wooden platform, in short... this kind of death is very painful, it would be better to be killed with a knife and buried with him."

The last sentence was deliberately added by Wu Liang. Since he sensed that Liu Bei was deliberately covering up his emotions, he deliberately said this to stimulate Liu Bei again.

If the dead in this tomb really had something to do with Liu Bei, then there might be a chance to make Liu Bei lose his temper.

So that he can take advantage of the opportunity to discover the secret that Liu Bei wants to hide.

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Bei's body trembled slightly.

Wu Liang deliberately took a few steps forward, and came behind Liu Bei to observe carefully. He found that Liu Bei's body was a little stiff at the moment, and his muscles should be tense, and his hand holding the jade pendant was also held very tightly. It can be seen that the joints have turned white.

After such a moment of silence.

"Fourth brother, this woman was also a poor person before she was alive. God has the virtue of loving life, and I can't bear to see her suffer. Therefore, I want to find a place for her to be re-buried with a treasure of geomantic omen. Can I ask fourth brother to give me some advice?"

Liu Bei suddenly said to Wu Liang again.

"..."

Wu Liang was taken aback when he heard this, and the problem became even bigger.

Wu Liang asked himself, is Liu Bei a good man and a believer who would sacrifice a shovel to bury an animal carcass when he saw it on the side of the road?

Obviously not.

In this way, it can be speculated that Liu Bei's move must have his own unknown purpose, including his unauthorized intrusion because of this unknown purpose.

Wu Liang had reason to suspect that there might be some kind of relationship between him and this female corpse, and the relationship was very close.

"Since the eldest brother proposed it, it's just a matter of little effort, and the younger brother should do his best to help."

Wu Liang said so.

"Thank you again, brother."

Liu Bei turned his head and gave Wu Liang a hand, with a look of gratitude on his face.

"By the way, brother, there is a character 'Nao' on that jade pendant. I remember the character 'Nao' related to Liu Pengzu in the history books. It seems that there is only one woman called 'Nao Ji', so this female corpse is very likely. It is the corpse of 'Nao Ji'."

Wu Liang nodded, but said deliberately.

"Brother Yu also knows this historical fact, and the fourth brother's speculation is very reasonable."

This time Liu Bei looked normal, and nodded slightly.

"In addition, as far as I know, Liu Pengzu and Naoji seem to have left a son, who is called 'Naozi'. This 'Naozi' should have inherited the throne, but because of his uncle's slander and Emperor Wu's Intervened, eventually lost the throne, and has since disappeared."

Wu Liang continued.

"!!!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's expression finally turned stiff, and his eyes looked at Wu Liang as if he was looking at ghosts and gods, with a hint of fear and awe in his eyes.

bingo!

Wu Liang immediately realized the key point.

Liu Bei must be related to Nao Ji, but this "Nao Zi" is the real keyword, but as for the relationship, it is still hard to say, and I am afraid that this matter can only be learned from Liu Bei.

Because according to historical records, Liu Bei's self-proclaimed ancestor was Zhongshan King Liu Sheng, and now that Wu Liang saw Liu Bei with his own eyes, he also claimed to be so...

Wait!
Wu Liang suddenly thought of something again.

Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, and Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao, are half brothers. Liu Pengzu is the elder brother and Liu Sheng is the younger brother.

But in historical records, there seems to be an irreconcilable contradiction between the two, and they often blame each other.

Liu Pengzu once commented on Liu Sheng in this way: "The king of Zhongshan only cares about extravagance and lust, and does not assist the emperor to appease the people. How can he be called a vassal!"

But Liu Sheng retorted: "My elder brother is the king, and he specializes in acting on behalf of the officials. As a king, he should listen to music every day and enjoy singing and dancing beauties."

This relationship seems to be a bit messy...

　Thanks to the boss of [Moran Starry Night] for his ten-thousand-coin reward and support, thank you very much.
