Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 588 Getting Farther and Farther (4000)

Thinking about it carefully, this possibility does exist.

It should be known that when Emperor Yao established the ancient Tang Dynasty, he only established the capital in the Northern Tang Dynasty at the beginning, and later moved the capital to the south when Emperor Yao was in power.

When Emperor Shun ascended the throne and established the ancient Yu Dynasty, the capital of the country had already been set to Puban (later Yongji, Shanxi) further south.

Therefore, no matter whether it is Emperor Yao or Emperor Shun, it is absolutely impossible to go back to the Northern Tang Dynasty to build such an underground secret realm. There is no motivation and no need.

On the contrary, it was Danzhu who had the most motivation.

When Emperor Yao established the ancient Tang Dynasty, he established the Northern Tang Dynasty as his capital. According to historical records, Danzhu has always had the idea of ​​inheriting the throne, even when Emperor Yao was still alive, he had the intention of usurping the throne. In the end, Emperor Yao gave up the throne to Shun My lord, this matter must make Dan Zhu feel very sad.

Later, after Emperor Yao died, he somehow obtained the throne from Emperor Shun.

Not long after that, it was taken back by Emperor Shun.

This is even more likely to become a knot in Danzhu's heart that he will never be able to get rid of in his life. At the same time, he must also have a grudge against the "Four Mountains" who suggested that Emperor Yao pass the throne to Emperor Shun. Yue" retaliated.

therefore.

Such an "ancient little Tang Dynasty" hidden underground appeared.

This move can not only satisfy Danzhu's desire for the throne to a certain extent, but also solve the "Four Mountains" who opposed him at the beginning, so that they have to "surrender" to him even if they die, killing two birds with one stone.

"It's actually Dan Zhu..."

After listening to Yan Lu's words, Zuo Ci also fell into deep thought. Obviously, he also knew something about this period of history, just like Wu Liang, inferring the reliability of this statement based on the historical data he knew.

After a moment.

Zuo Ci should also think that Yan Lu's words are quite credible, but he frowned and said with a face of embarrassment: "The ancient times were the most prosperous period of witchcraft, but unfortunately there may be less than one hundred witchcraft that can survive today, and these It is even less likely that witchcraft will be passed on from generation to generation, and my generation's ability is simply not worth showing in front of these ancestors... If so, this formation may be even more elusive."

"I revealed this important information to you, not to teach you to complain in front of me."

Yan Lu said with cold eyes.

Now that he has revealed some information to Zuo Ci, if Zuo Ci can't show some sincerity, then he will think that he has been played by Zuo Ci.

"Forgive me, Lord Yan. It's not that I don't want to do my best. It's just that this bit of information is not directly related to this formation. Even if you know that the owner of this secret realm is Dan Zhu, the historical materials about Dan Zhu are very scarce, and the scope is still too wide. There's nothing I can do about it..."

Zuo Ci said with a wry smile, but seeing a trace of obvious anger on Yan Lu's face, he was afraid that it would be bad for him again, and then quickly said, "But if Yan Gong trusts me, I'd like to take the lead in entering this formation to serve Duke Yan investigates, maybe I can find some clues after entering the formation."

heard this.

Yan Lu took a look at Zuo Ci, but finally he didn't do anything to him, and didn't say anything more.

It's just that it seems that he still can't trust him, so he didn't respond to Zuo Ci's request to "take the lead", and turned to look at Wu Liang, asking with a dead horse as a living horse doctor: "What about you? What about you? Now that I have learned some information about this secret realm, what can I say?"

"Uh……"

Wu Liang didn't expect Yan Lu to ask himself suddenly, so he immediately put on a ignorant look, and said a little unconfidently, "Little talents have little knowledge, even if they say something, they may not be able to count. Yan Gong just takes it as a gesture." The villain should throw bricks to attract jade... The villain privately believes that most of the witchcraft in ancient times was in the hands of the leaders and witches of various tribes, and Emperor Yao at that time was the leader of the leaders, so since Danzhu is Yao The eldest son of the emperor must also often communicate with the leaders and witches of various tribes. Even if he doesn't know it, he may have seen a lot of powerful witchcraft. Therefore, ordinary witchcraft formations may not be able to enter Danzhu's eyes. The formation method must be very important, Yan Gong had better think long-term, and must not make rash advances."

"Hehehe."

Yan Lu sneered.

He felt that he shouldn't have any expectations of Wu Liang just now, so he didn't have to listen to such worthless nonsense.

But maybe it was because he didn't have much hope for Wu Liangbao at the beginning, so he wasn't too disappointed.

It's just that Wu Liang doesn't take Wu Liang seriously.

"..."

Zuo Ci also took a look at Wu Liang.

Although there was no expression on his face, it was from his only remaining eyes.

Wu Liang felt a trace of contempt, Zuo Ci was obviously not surprised that he would behave like this at all, and now he was more and more sure that the reason Zuo Ci forcibly involved him and Dian Wei was just to get Dian Wei's help.

Just at this time.

"but……"

Wu Liang suddenly said again.

"But what?"

Yan Lu still gave Wu Liang a chance to speak, because he didn't have any firm thoughts now.

"However, the villain thinks that it might not be appropriate to teach Immortal Master Zuo to investigate."

Wu Liang lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly.

"Oh? Why is this? Let's hear it?"

Yan Lu suddenly became interested, and then asked.

"?"

Zuo Ci also looked at Wu Liang quite unexpectedly. Although he didn't take Wu Liang seriously, he didn't expect Wu Liang to say such words at this time, and he didn't know what Wu Liang was thinking. .

"From the very beginning, the villain has seen the relationship between Lord Yan and Immortal Zuo in his eyes. It's not that the villain deliberately separated the two. It seems that Immortal Master Zuo didn't treat Duke Yan sincerely, but was coerced and subdued by Duke Yan."

Wu Liang smiled apologetically at the two of them respectively, and said, "The two of you lack the most basic trust, and it is absolutely difficult to be of the same mind on this matter. The villain has to wonder if Zuo Xianshi finds any important clues when he went to investigate. , and there are enough motivations not to report the truth to Duke Yan, and may even use some things discovered to trip up Duke Yan, so it is possible to put Duke Yan in danger, and Master Zuo can also look for opportunities. , and even took the opportunity to avenge the loss of one eye."

"It's the same with Duke Yan. Even if Immortal Master Zuo is sincerely doing things for Duke Yan, Duke Yan will carefully weigh what he said in the future. This may cause misunderstandings and lead to missed opportunities."

"Under such circumstances, the villain naturally thinks that Duke Yan should not teach Zuo Xianshi to investigate. This will only be harmful to the subsequent exploration of this secret place, and the villain can't think of any benefits."

"Please be strict and clear."

After finishing speaking, Wu Liang lowered his head, not looking at the expressions of Yan Lu and Zuo Ci, let alone meeting their eyes.

And at the same time.

"..."

Yan Lu and Zuo Ci fell into a brief silence.

After a moment.

"Hehehe, it's really a miracle that you kid can live to this day."

Yan Lu laughed first, and said without comment.

He is the kind of person with a deep city, and he has seen many straight-hearted people in his life, but this is the first time he has seen a stunned young man like Wu Liang who can't even do the most basic "see through but not tell".

Because most of such stunned youths can't live for too long, especially in the chaotic world of intrigue and deceit, they will only die earlier.

It's just that he didn't have brief contact with Wu Liang before, but he didn't realize that Wu Liang was such a person at that time...

"..."

Although Zuo Ci didn't speak, he agreed with Yan Lu's words in his heart.

He used to think that Wu Liang was just a mediocre person with no merits, but now he thinks that Wu Liang might be a fool... He and Yan Lu both knew about this matter, otherwise Yan Lu would not Choose to ignore.

However, Wu Liang was serious enough to point this matter out. How could there be such a fool in the world? Could it be that he thinks that everyone in the world is a fool?

When Zuo Ci was thinking like this.

Wu Liang clasped his hands again and said: "Duke Yan don't want to make fun of the villain, Master Zuo also don't think the villain is stupid, in fact the villain also has his own purpose for saying these words."

"What's your purpose?"

Yan Lu asked.

"The villain just wants to live, and the longer he lives the better...Compared with the two of you, the villain is undoubtedly the most innocent person. Just passing by Jinyang City, he was inexplicably involved in this matter, and now the villain has been implicated Brought into this secret realm, I saw things I shouldn’t see, and I heard things I shouldn’t hear.”

Wu Liang continued to lower his head and said, "The villain knows better than anyone else that at this point, it was absolutely impossible to let the villain go safely when Zhang Gong was there before, but now that it is Yan Gong, I am afraid it will still not be easy. Letting the villain go, maybe Immortal Master Zuo found an opportunity to succeed, but he may not let the villain go, the villain has already fallen into it, and it is absolutely impossible to stay out of it, so the villain wants to fight for a while If you fight, maybe you can win a little life."

"what do you mean……"

The smile on Yan Lu's face gradually disappeared, and he finally looked at Wu Liang squarely and said.

And Zuo Ci looked at Wu Liang even more unexpectedly, obviously what Wu Liang said was completely beyond his expectation.

"The villain's family is also under the control of Lord Yan, but Immortal Zuo is alone, so the villain must be more trustworthy than Immortal Zuo. If Duke Yan really has no other choice, he can only send Immortal Zuo The division is going to investigate, the villain is willing to go together to supervise on his behalf, and Duke Yan can also send some soldiers to follow, such mutual restraint may be more beneficial to breaking the formation."

Wu Liang said solemnly, "What's more, now that Duke Zhang is gone, the situation in Jinyang City has become extremely unstable, and although these soldiers are subject to Duke Yan's Gu insects, they may not be able to be used as confidantes, what Duke Yan needs most now He is a reliable person, the villain is willing to use this to prove his loyalty to Duke Yan, in exchange for a sliver of life, and also in exchange for the villain and his family to live comfortably in this life, please, Duke Yan."

"?"

Hearing this, Zuo Ci was refreshed again.

What Wu Liang meant was that he planned to go to investigate with him, which was actually exactly what he meant, otherwise, why would he have tried so hard to persuade Zhang Liang to call Wu Liang and Dian Wei into this secret realm?

It's just that Yan Lu's meaning just now was very ambiguous.

Even teaching him to go to investigate has such a noncommittal attitude, if he proposes to take Wu Liang and Dian Wei to go with him, then it is even more impossible for Yan Lu to agree, so Zuo Ci can't think of how to speak.

it's good now.

Wu Liang's move of "advancing through retreat" has logically expressed the request he wanted to make but didn't know how to say it.

At this moment Zuo Ci was finally convinced.

Wu Liang must have seen the handwriting he left on the stone table and the lid of the barrel with water that day, and he has been planning how to cooperate with him, but he finally found the opportunity to show it until now.

at the same time.

Zuo Ci also looked at Wu Liang with admiration.

Wu Liang's previous performances always taught him to think that he had found the wrong person. I am afraid that in the end, he would still be able to fight against Yan Lu and others alone.

From the looks of it now, Wu Liang is still somewhat cunning and scheming.

Then his plan has a slightly more chance of winning!

just now.

It depends on how Yan Lu reacts.

In the end, Yan Lu looked at Wu Liang with a half-smile, and after pondering for a moment, he said noncommittally: "In this case, I should go to investigate with you, so that what you see, I can see too. I can hear what you hear, so that I can truly not be deceived."

Obviously he doesn't trust anyone but himself.

After finishing speaking, he asked Wu Liang another question with a smile: "Do you think I have tricked you and your servant?"

"This……"

Wu Liang was slightly stunned.

"Hehehehe, don't try to plot against me."

Yan Lu laughed, and this time he said to Wu Liang and Zuo Ci, "I can assure you, if my life is in danger, you will definitely die in my head."

……

Soon after.

Yan Lu actually gathered everyone together as he said, and then temporarily ignored the four stone platforms, but ordered to march to the stone room in the heart of this square together.

He is also a person who dares to take risks.

Or maybe there's something worth risking here.

Therefore, even though he just watched those soldiers jump off the stone platform, he still dared to venture into this area.

of course.

In fact, Yan Lu also has a basic bottom line in his heart: Zuo Ci volunteered, and Wu Liang can also be regarded as volunteering, and he firmly believes that no one is not afraid of death, so there is reason to suspect that Zuo Ci and Wu Liang may have discovered something, but they just know each other. Forget it... Even if he didn't, he still insisted that it would be most appropriate to keep an eye on these two people himself, and never act separately from them, so at least the situation was always under his control.

As a result, he had just walked onto the relatively flat square not long ago.

Everyone then encountered an incomprehensible strange phenomenon, which made everyone feel uneasy for a while.

They had obviously been marching towards the stone house.

But after walking for a while, instead of getting closer to them, the stone house in the center of the square became farther and farther away.

Even the underground cave where this secret realm is located seems to be getting bigger and bigger!
