After the hero goes crazy

"But, I really don't want him to die—"

Shocked by Yao Wanning's words, Yao Shouning originally wanted to sleep for a while in order to cope with the tomb at night, but he lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

After meeting Lu Zhi, she was still in a daze.

"what happened to you?"

When the prince rode a horse to pick up Yao Shouning and went out, he saw that she was full of thoughts.

Today, because Yao Shouning had reported to the Liu family in advance, her going out went very smoothly.

The two rode together, and she was full of worries, so she didn't have the embarrassment of last night.

Hearing Lu Zhi's question, Yao Shouning's body trembled, and when he came back to his senses, there was a look of struggle in his eyes.

She was still thinking about Yao Wanning's words.

What my sister said doesn't want 'he' to die, is this 'he' a 'river god'?

If it was the 'River God', how could Yao Wanning not want 'him' to die?
The reason Yao Wanning and the 'River God' got married in a dream that day was because the Liu family was manipulated by evil spirits.

Afterwards, my sister was branded as evil, and her life is still hanging by a thread. Facing such evil, how could my sister not want 'him' to die?
I must have heard wrong!wrong!

Intellectually, she is very confident in her analysis, but emotionally, she can hear the sigh in her sister's words.

It seems that when I think about it, my sister has lost a lot of weight——

"I ask you."

Sitting on the horseback, she was half-circled by Lu Zhi in his arms, turned her head and asked:
"If someone wants to kill you, and you don't want to kill him—"

Yao Shouning hadn't finished speaking yet, Shizi was already alert:
"Who? Who wants to kill me?"

A name suddenly appeared in his mind, and goosebumps popped up all over his body:
"Is it your cousin?"

As soon as Lu Zhi mentioned 'Su Miaozhen', his body tensed up and he felt like he was gnashing his teeth when he spoke.

Apparently, Su Miaozhen used sorcery several times to drive him crazy, which has already formed a conditioned reflex in him.

"..."

Yao Shouning didn't expect that his words would make Shizi so emotional, and he was afraid that he would lose his mind by anger, so he quickly coaxed him:

"No, no."

She felt that her words might not convince Lu Zhi, so she quickly added:
"My cousin has been in a coma since that day, and she hasn't woken up yet. There is no abnormality for the time being."

Saying this, the tight string in Shi Zi's heart suddenly loosened a lot.

However, he still felt vigilant and asked again:
"Who wants to hurt me?"

"No one wants to hurt you, I'm just asking casually!" After Yao Shouning finished speaking, she felt Lu Zhi's body leaning forward to the left. She turned her head to look and saw Shizi leaning forward.

Turning their heads, the two looked at each other, and Yao Shouning replied helplessly:

"real!"

She guarantees:
"I just have a question that I can't figure out, so I just want to ask your opinion."

Lu Zhi saw that her brows were lightly raised, her eyes were filled with confusion and perplexity. It was obvious that she really had something on her mind, so he was dubious:

"You said, someone wants to kill me, but I don't want him to die?"

"Ah."

Yao Shouning nodded and asked him:

"Why do you think this is?"

"Impossible—" Shizi thought seriously:

"If someone wants to harm me, I have to find a way to get rid of him first, so as not to leave trouble..."

He thought for a while, then said:
"Unless there is a mastermind behind this person, I will not move him for the time being. I just want to catch a big fish with a small fish, like your cousin—"

When Su Miaozhen was mentioned, the anger in Lu Zhi's heart could not be suppressed. He took a deep breath and turned his head away.

The son's words were also very reasonable. Yao Shouning suddenly remembered that her sister said that she thought that the "River God" was only under Chen Taiwei's control. In this way, she didn't want the "River God" to die. conspiracy.

"But—" Yao Shouning comforted herself in this way, but she had a premonition that her sister didn't want the 'River God' to die, probably not because she wanted to find out the reason.

"Is there any other possibility?" She asked again.

"No." Lu Zhi shook his head:
"A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. If he knows the danger and still intends to indulge, isn't he stupid?"

Yao Shouning remained silent.

Everyone understands this kind of reasoning. Yao Wanning was only seriously ill before, not stupid. Didn't she know it?
If she knew, why wouldn't she want the 'River God' to die?

"Why did you ask this suddenly?" He felt a little strange and asked:
"Did something happen?"

Seeing her silence for a long time, the prince could not help but lightly bumped her shoulder and asked her a question.

"I don't know." When she was hit by this blow, all the strength in her body was released immediately, and her shoulders collapsed:
"I have a bad feeling," she couldn't say clearly, but she just wanted to cry:
"My son, tell me, will I lose my sister in the end?"

This idea suddenly flooded into her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she trembled all over.

At first, Lu Zhi thought she was weird tonight. In the past, when the two of them went out, talking and laughing, sometimes even though he was annoyed by her words, he was used to bickering with her, so why not Yao Shouning's silence, Shi Zi felt that it was not a big deal comfortable.

Now after hearing her tell the reason, I realized that she was worried about her relatives at home.

"What we are doing now is to prevent your sister from being harmed by evil spirits."

Shizi calmly comforted her:

"The effort at this time is to try to avoid the worst outcome."

She raised her head startled.

Those eyes were wet, the upper and lower eyelashes were wet with tears, and Lu Zhi's reflection was reflected in the pupils of the eyes, as if all her eyes were him.

When the prince was looked at by her, his heart felt as if he had been hit by a deer, and he felt as if he had been cursed for a moment, making it difficult to look away and meet her gaze.

After a long time, Yao Shouning finally came to his senses and hurriedly lowered his head.

She sniffed, and quickly responded:
"Um--"

Lu Zhi didn't know why, but also felt a little flustered in his heart.

After a long time, Yao Shouning asked softly:

"Which tomb shall we visit tonight?"

Her words broke the embarrassment caused by the long silence between the two. Lu Zhi came back to his senses, and quickly said:
"Go to King Qi's tomb."

Ever since he speculated that the real body of the 'River God' might be related to the blood of a certain royal family in the early years of the founding of the Daqing, Lu Zhi planned to search the cemetery of the first few decades before the founding of the country.

Yao Shouning was so shocked by his sister's words that he couldn't sleep today, so he looked at the list of the Daqing royal family compiled by Lu Zhi, and kept some lists in his heart.

At this time Lu Zhi mentioned the "Tomb of the King of Qi", and the information about the tomb of the King of Qi suddenly appeared in her mind: (Qi) Died in the ninth year of Tianyuan.

This king of Qi is the eldest son of the second king of Daqing. He was born in the middle palace. He was originally a legitimate son with a noble status.

But he died before he was 20 years old. In the end, Emperor Tianyuan lost his beloved son. He was canonized as King of Qi and buried not far from the city of Shendu.

When Emperor Tianyuan came to the throne, Daqing was not long after the founding of the country, and a lot of waste was waiting to be rebuilt, and the royal cemetery had not yet been planned or built.

The emperor at that time set aside a piece of land five miles outside the city of Shendu, built the tomb of King Qi for his beloved son, and built a Taoist temple on the side to pray for him.

700 years ago, Shendu City was far less prosperous than it is today, and the scale of the city was much smaller than it is now.

Later, with the passage of time, the capital city of the gods was expanded again and again, the Taoist temples that were at the peak of incense in those days gradually disappeared, and the tomb of King Qi, which was once highly regarded, gradually lost its former glory.

700 years later, this tomb was located not far from the east city gate. When entering and exiting the city gate, you can even see the former tombstone, but the color of the year has faded, and only the mottled and weathered stele can be seen. From the above, we can see the heartache of Emperor Tianyuan for his son.

In the early years of Daqing, many etiquette rules had not yet been established, and the burial places of many clan princes were temporarily divided, and it was not until decades that they were gradually classified into the cemetery.

There are several places like King Qi's tomb in the capital of gods.

The king of Qi died in the 46th year of the Daqing calendar, more than ten years later than the 30-year timeline that Lu Zhi had initially customized.

But Yao Shouning thought that Emperor Shenqi had been acting frequently recently and had the intention of opening the coffin to test the demons, so it was hard to guarantee that he did not do so at the behest of Chen Taiwei.

After the incident of Dai Wang's underground palace was exposed, in addition to the list of royal vassals compiled by Lu Zhi, Emperor Shenqi must have also asked the palace staff to count the list of princes and princes in Daqing.

Once the list of Emperor Shenqi's plan to open the coffin is removed, the remaining list of vassal kings may be the target of Lu Zhi's inspection.

Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning were aware of this point, and if Chen Taiwei was in charge of this matter, he would also be aware of this point.

If the positions were reversed, Lu Zhi would definitely send people to lurk in the tombs of those vassal kings who had not been on the coffin opening list, just to wait and see.

Shizi explained:

"Although we have enough manpower, most of the power is in the open and cannot be used."

Now that there has been such a big commotion in the Underworld Palace of the Daiwang, apart from Yao Shouning's identity being doubted and there is no real evidence to prove that she has traveled with Lu Zhi, Chen Taiwei should be very sure that Lu Zhi is the one who broke into the Underground Palace of the Daiwang.

Chen Taiwei knew about this, which meant that Emperor Shenqi must also know it well.

The reason why the two sides pretended to be deaf and dumb, Qi Qi didn't know it, was nothing more than mutual fear of the power in the other's hands.

The Lu family has Lu Wuji, a vajra bodyguard with three heads and six arms, who is a natural gatekeeper, and evil spirits dare not move rashly.

And the eldest princess holds one hundred thousand elite soldiers, which is enough to deter Emperor Shenqi from acting rashly.

Therefore, even if the emperor knew that Lu Zhi was responsible for the matter of acting as the king's underground palace that day, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and did not dare to make trouble on the surface, so he could only act in private.

For Lu Wuji and his wife, one only wants peace in the world, while the eldest princess has no intention of rebellion, but only wants the royal family to be stable, so that Emperor Shenqi can govern the government with peace of mind, and in the future, the imperial power will be smoothly transferred to the middle palace. In the hands of the Fourth Prince.

At the same time, Emperor Shenqi holds the prison, the magic department, and the power in the world, and has a mysterious Taoist priest like Chen Taiwei to help him.

It would be great if everyone can live in peace without breaking their faces.

With such a tacit understanding, the balance cannot be broken.

Even though the Eldest Princess was worried about her son, she also understood that the visit to the tomb could only be done in private and not with great fanfare—this was also the reason why the General's Mansion had never dared to send too many people to go with him.

After all, if things really get serious, it can be said that the child is ignorant. If the two forces are involved, the trouble will be serious.

It's just that Lu Zhi's side is short of manpower. Similarly, Chen Taiwei's side also has a lot of power that cannot be used.

Emperor Shen Qi casts a weapon against rats, and what Chen Taiwei can drive is demons.

But no matter whether the enchanted gates that have sealed the monster race are loose or not, the monsters that can escape into the world are always only a small number.

In the past 700 years of Daqing, there have been many cemeteries of dead vassal kings. Even though Chen Taiwei's methods are against the sky and can control demons, he may not be able to deploy heavy troops in every place.

"I don't know if what we said last time was heard by him."

Lu Zhi remembered the last time when Chen Taiwei drove away evil spirits and attacked the carriage, and frowned:
"But in any case, the original plan was not available, so I temporarily changed my mind."

"Ah."

Yao Shouning nodded and asked:

"Did you find the entrance to King Qi's tomb?"

"There are eyebrows."

He responded lightly:

"Since preparing to visit the tombs, I have been privately investigating the entrances and exits of these tombs."

The power of the eldest princess and Lu Wuji could not accompany him into the tomb and open the coffin, but they could find out some information and clues for him in the early stage, saving him a lot of effort to explore the entrance of the tomb by himself.

"At the inner entrance of the east gate, there is a tea house, which was built more than 100 years ago. Until more than 40 years ago, when its owner was digging the basement, he accidentally dug the entrance of the tomb and boldly drilled into the tomb."

At the time of King Qi's burial, Emperor Tianyuan ordered the deployment of heavy crossbows, poisonous water, and miasma to prevent tomb robbers from entering by mistake.

But even so, it couldn't stop people from later generations sneaking into it, until later it was said that the funerary objects outside were almost emptied, but the strange thing is that the coffin of King Qi was not found inside.

There is such a legend in Daqing: The tomb of King Qi was built as a tomb within a tomb. In order to protect his son's tomb from being damaged, Emperor Tianyuan asked for help from a wise man and laid down gossip to hide his son's real tomb. In the big tomb, this earthly person can't find his real big tomb at all, and can't destroy his remains.

The greatest wealth in King Qi's tomb is naturally hidden in the real tomb, and the funerary objects on the outside are just a cover-up.

This kind of statement has attracted many tomb robbers, but since 700 years, no one has found the real burial place of King Qi.

The owner of the teahouse was originally surnamed Zhao. When they were digging underground, they unintentionally dug up a gold coin.

"This kind of gold yuan was cast in the early years of Tianyuan."

The Zhao family remembered the legends about King Qi's tomb over the years, and they were overjoyed.

For 40 years, their grandparents and grandchildren have been secretly digging under their own house for several generations, unearthed a lot of gold coins and jewels, and also dug a road leading to the real King Qi's tomb.

"Three years ago, one of my father's classmates accidentally obtained a coin from the eighth year of Tianyuan, so following the clues, we found this place."

There are not many coins in the eighth year of Tianyuan generally appearing in the market.

The emperor lost his beloved son back then, fearing that his soul would go to the underworld after his death and the money would not be enough, so he ordered the Ministry of Industry to mint a batch of coins for the burial of King Qi.

These coins were cast only for the king of Qi. After they were cast, Taoist priests were asked to perform magic tricks, and then they were buried in the soil immediately.

Because of the rarity of this batch of coins, even if someone intervened in the middle and took some of them away before the silver coins were minted, most of the coins were still buried in the cemetery, and there were not many circulating in the market—let alone in the In the eyes of experts, apart from this batch of gold coins of the eighth year of Tianyuan minted only for King Qi, the really valuable coins are also due to the magic spell cast by Taoist priests.

"It was after 700 years that my father's friend also sensed the remaining fluctuations of Taoism on the coin, so he followed the clues and found the Zhao family."
