Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 654 Tomb Raiders
Changling!

The sounds of various insects echoed in the bushes under the night, but there were countless lights of fire in the dark, and people were watching all around.

In the gathering place of the flames, countless figures were panting heavily with their breasts exposed, and their bodies were shiny and sweaty, and they kept waving the tools in their hands to dig.

"General, I got it! I got it!"

This is when there was a shout of surprise, and Li Shimin, who had been waiting for a full day for digging, suddenly had a look of joy on his face.

"Quick! Dig the entrance of the cave quickly, order the scouts to investigate strictly, and the rest of the soldiers will gather and prepare to go down to the tomb."

promise!
As the hole got bigger and bigger, a faint mist floated out of the pit, which immediately made the group of tomb robbers shudder, and looked at this strange scene with some fear.

Li Shimin also secretly swallowed his saliva, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to panic, this is just an anti-theft measure. Dig a few more holes to let out the miasma in the holes."

promise!
Two full hours later, a group of nervous soldiers lined up in front of the tomb, even holding dogs and lambs in their hands.

At this time, the leader who presided over the tomb robbery was an old man over fifty years old. He looked up at the sky, counting the time in his heart, and kept looking down at the gossip disk in his hand.

"It's almost done, let's put a few dogs in first."

promise!
Even Li Shimin, the most senior here, obediently listened to the old man's orders. After all, he specialized in martial arts. If he led an army to fight, he would definitely do his part, but this tomb robber is a newcomer.

"Prepare iron shields, ropes, torches, and wet cloths."

promise!
The old man kept giving orders, and the five hundred soldiers who were about to enter the tomb were all soaked in cold water and were numb, with ropes coiled around their waists, holding shields in one hand and torches in the other.

"Old man, can you go down to the grave?" Li Shimin approached very politely and asked, but the old man shook his head nervously and sighed after seeing it.

"General, this tomb is at least the tomb of a prince. Judging from the smell of the soil, this tomb should be around 400 years old."

The old man said in detail, which made Li Shimin on the side admiringly. Sure enough, he has a specialization in art. He can judge that it is at least the tomb of a prince based on the landscape and terrain. He is even more convinced by the analysis of the soil.

The old man I found before coming here is full of experience, he is a descendant of the imperial tomb built by his ancestors for generations, but Li Shimin didn't say who the owner of the tomb is, he just said it was a big tomb.

The time of 400 years is even more impressive to Li Shimin. The time when Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, passed away is not too far away. He can judge the time just by sniffing the soil. Sure enough, he did not bring the wrong person this time.

In fact, he didn’t need to be so careful about the warlord’s tomb robbery, but this place is near Luoyang, which is close to Chang’an and also close to Hulao Gate. You must know that Lu Bu’s army is guarding Hulao Gate.

Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, his 3000 people ate the dry food that accompanied the army after leaving Hangu Pass, and did not dare to set fires. Fortunately, the weather in August is not cold even at night.

"It's better for the general to wait outside, and leave this matter to the old man." The old man seemed to be thinking of Li Shimin, but in fact there was a sadness in his eyes.

People in Huaxia have a natural sense of repulsion towards tomb robbery, especially in ancient times, such things would shame their ancestors and even harm their descendants.

The old man knew that he couldn't refuse, and now he could only try his best to make things perfect to satisfy the general, even if he wanted to kill the donkey, he would try his best to spare his family for the sake of his hard work.

The old man is not stupid, when the general invited him, he lived directly in Li Shimin's mansion, never went home, and did not dare to go home.

He knew that if he went home, if the general got rid of him ruthlessly, then his family would also suffer.

So he lived directly in Li Shimin's mansion, and then came with the army, and never contacted his family once after learning about the tomb robbery.

Looking at the old man's demeanor, how could Li Shimin fail to see what this man was thinking, and couldn't help but shook his head. He wanted to use these properties in a fair and honest way this time, but he definitely couldn't hide it, so silence was of no use at all.

"Don't worry, old man, I will still need a soldier like Captain Mojin of the Central Plains."

Li Shimin's solemn words not only did not make the old man feel relieved, but instead he took a deep look at the young general and sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that he would never get out of it in this life, and since he accepted the tomb robbery, he knew that this was a deep pit that he could never climb out of.

Then, under the eyes of thousands of soldiers, the old man lit a bunch of joss sticks, and set up a strange incense formation that seemed to be a formation towards the tomb.

bang bang~
After nine consecutive kowtows, the old man stuck the last incense candle in his hand on the soil, facing the empty tomb in front of him with a look of guilt on his face, suppressed his voice and said in a deep voice: "The ancestors should not blame the future generations. Being unfilial is really forced by the situation, the descendants only take the property from the tomb, please forgive me for disturbing, don't blame~ don't blame~"

After talking for a long time, the old man slowly got up after the incense burnt out, his mouth was covered with a thick layer of numbness soaked in cold water, and he took a wooden shield from the soldier.

"Go to the grave!"

With an order, the old man commanded five hundred soldiers to go down to the tomb and disappeared on the ground, while Li Shimin looked quietly at the big hole that swallowed people's figures, his eyes were full of fire.

Thousands of soldiers were on guard in the grass. The August night was full of coolness. The soldiers were all on guard, while Li Shimin was nervously staring at the tomb.

The sound of dogs barking~the screams of lambs echoed faintly under the night, and soldiers came out to report from time to time.

There are many traps!In particular, this tomb is not simple. It is the mausoleum of Liu Bang, the founding king of the Han Dynasty, and the whole country has exhausted its efforts.

The property in it has a faint fantasy in Li Shimin's heart. The property here must be more than the tomb of King Liang Xiao excavated by Cao Cao. If it is two or three times more, he can rectify Li Tang's decline in one fell swoop. Have the ability to fight for the world again.

The main reason is to prevent people from knowing about it. It is more secretive to do this. If it is under Li Tang's rule, why is he so cautious? The army directly digs it faster.

After waiting for more than two hours, the sky turned white, and Li Shimin was moved by an excited cry.

"The general found it, found it! Countless treasures, haha~"

The soldiers in the pit crawled out excitedly and shouting, not to mention dirty and bloodstained.

There were several black arrows sticking out of the shield in his hand, and he climbed out of the tomb in embarrassment and yelled at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin, who had been waiting for a long time, waved his hands excitedly, and shouted: "The soldiers of the three armies are ready to load the carriage."

promise!
Under the shouts in unison, soldiers who had been prepared for a long time appeared leading a carriage, and huge empty boxes had been prepared on the carriage.
