Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1025 Murderous Intentions

Lu Xiao's eyes were originally flustered and numb. When she saw the handkerchief, she was still a little dazed. She took it subconsciously, but didn't know what to do. But when she thought of something, she lowered her head and took a closer look, and immediately recognized it. Her soft eyes were suddenly filled with disbelief.

She looked up at Wang Shaoqiu: "Why are you——"

Wang Shaoqiu still looked at her.

The entire stone chamber suddenly fell silent.

Those Turkic soldiers had no idea about the hatred between the two people, nor did they understand what the seemingly ordinary, half-new and half-old handkerchief meant. But Lei Yu, who was standing behind Lu Xiao, understood it completely. She was a little bit unbelievable, but at this moment, nothing she said could be more real and clear than what she did.

She looked at Wang Shaoqiu's face with a serious expression. The hand that was holding Lu Xiao's shoulder made her feel that she couldn't help shaking. For a moment, she seemed to be engulfed by some sudden, overwhelming emotion and almost suffocated.

Wang Shaoqiu he——

Just when Lu Xiao was in great confusion, with thousands of thoughts popping up in her mind like bubbles in a boiling pot, she seemed to actually hear some sound of water in her ears.

At this moment, the crowd that had been watching Lu Xiao and Wang Shaoqiu quietly and blankly suddenly discovered something, and someone shouted, "What is that!"

Everyone turned their heads hurriedly and looked in the direction of the shouting person's finger, and were immediately shocked!
A stream of water suddenly flowed along the corridor they came from, quickly spreading on the floor of the stone chamber, and soon flowed to their feet. Several Turkic soldiers standing on the outermost periphery stepped on the water and hurriedly dodged. Then, their brows suddenly frowned and they inhaled hard through their noses, as if they smelled something.

Li Miao and Gao Chen twitched their noses and immediately smelled it out: "It's tung oil!"

"What!?"

Hearing this, everyone was even more shocked, but before they could react, they saw several wooden boards suddenly flying in from the outside of the corridor, as well as wood chips flying down, which instantly covered the passage leading to the stone chamber.

Then, a ball of fire flickered from outside and slowly approached.

A familiar face appeared outside the cave.

It turned out to be that Master Jia!
He was dressed in black, and his thin figure seemed about to be swallowed up by the dark light around him at any time. Fortunately, he was holding a torch in his hand, which illuminated his disheveled face and eyes full of murderous intent.

"you--"

Seeing him appear behind them, and the tung oil on the ground and the piled wood were obviously set up to burn them to death and block the way for the people in the stone chamber, Ashina Zhuxie immediately understood. His face immediately turned pale and he took a step forward: "How dare you--"

Master Jia's thick beard trembled slightly, as if he was smiling, but no one could see his smile. They could only see the bone-chilling coldness emanating from his eyes.

He said coldly: "Khan, why do you have to do this?"

It was not until this time that everyone finally heard his voice clearly.

Because he no longer deliberately lowers the tone, his voice is not only youthful, but also sonorous and powerful, and full of energy. Not only is it obviously the voice of a young man, but one can also feel that this person is physically strong, and even a martial artist!
He said slowly, "As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Since you are here for the treasure of Zuo Gong Yi Tomb, you should be prepared to be buried here with the treasure. Otherwise, what is the meaning of dying for money?"

Ashina Zhuxie was startled and opened his eyes wide.

Meanwhile, Wang Shaoqiu's face had turned red, his lips were gradually turning blue, and his eyes were bulging with blood. It seemed as if blood was about to be squeezed out of his eye sockets at any time, which made him look particularly hideous and terrifying. He said in a hoarse voice, "You, so this is really the Tomb of Zuo Gong?" Master Jia looked at him coldly, who was obviously poisoned, and said, "Is it true? For a dying person, does it make any difference?"

"..."

"Just remember that it was your brother who forced my brother to death, so you should pay for your life here today. That's enough."

After hearing these words, no one else reacted, only Lei Yu, Li Miao and others frowned, and Lu Xiao took a deep breath and tightened her hand holding the handkerchief.

She followed Xiao Yuansui and participated in the Zuo family rebellion. Although Li Miao and Gao Chen did not participate in the suppression of the rebellion, they had heard of the war that year. They all knew that although Zuo Heng's rebellion was suppressed by the loyal troops from all over the country, the person who finally encircled and suppressed Zuo Heng was the then General Wang Shaoji of Youtunwei!
However, Wang Shaoqiu was on leave due to illness at the time and did not participate in the war.

I have never met anyone involved.

such as--

"You, are Zuo Zhen?"

At this time, Lu Xiao finally regained her composure from the shock. She stood up silently and walked to the front of the crowd. She finally saw the dishevelled face in the light of the fire. She still couldn't believe it and asked, "You, are you really Zuo Zhen?"

The sharp eyes only glanced at her once and then turned away coldly.

Ashina Zhuye silently took a step forward and stood in front of everyone. Under his feet was the accumulated tung oil. The pungent smell only became clearer now, and his mind became clearer. He guessed that this tomb passage and this tomb chamber should be the one that this "Master Jia" had dug out himself long ago to bury the headless corpse in the coffin. Judging from his arrangements here and his vigilance towards everyone, he may have anticipated that one day someone would find him at Tianding Mountain for the suspected tomb of Zuo Gong, so he should have dug another inconspicuous tunnel in the corridor on the road as a hiding place, and hid the tung oil in it.

Just now, when everyone opened the coffin and the pungent smell inside confused everyone's sense of smell, he took the opportunity to pour the tung oil down.

The people who were frightened by the poisonous snakes had no time to notice that he had moved the pile of broken wood in the corridor outside to the entrance of the cave to block them - as for that pile of broken wood, it was probably the remaining wood from making this thin-skinned coffin.

After thinking all this through, a cold light flashed in Ashina Zhuxie's eyes.

He asked, "What do you want to do?"

Master Jia said coldly: "What can I do?"

"..."

"For so many years, I just wanted some peace and quiet, but I know that there are always people in this world who won't let me or my loved ones have peace and quiet."

"..."

"So now, I want to get rid of the people who are keeping me from peace and regain my peace."

After saying this, he bent down and was about to use the torch in his hand to light the tung oil on the ground.
