A knife in love

Chapter 1752

In fact, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu's experience in the world is far higher than that of Wang Xiaoyu. Although Murong Danyan only slipped out of Murong Villa half a year ago, he has never been in the world before.But after all, she followed Li Qiufeng through the Imperial Mausoleum, Yong'an City, and Hutouyan Shajiabao, and had a lot of connections with Liu Shengzongyan, Tang He, Yun Feiyang, Liu Yong, Taishan Wulao, Chu Danyang and other top figures in both black and white. There are intersections, there are adventures in a few months, more than the experience of ordinary people in the world in a lifetime.As for Xiao Dong, he is not only in the officialdom, but also in the Jianghu, and his knowledge is even more unmatched by Wang Xiaoyu.It stands to reason that Wang Xiaoyu smelled an unusual smell in the cave, so Li Qiufeng and the others wouldn't miss it.But just because Li Qiufeng and others have too much experience in the world, after entering the cave, they only guarded against the agency news and whether there were enemies ambushing and sneak attacking, and under their full concentration, they did not notice the extremely strong burnt smell in the cave.

Everyone sniffed a few times, only to feel that their throats were dry and uncomfortable, and everyone felt uneasy, not knowing what was going on.Wang Xiaoyu has Qi Jiu leading the way in front, and Murong Danyan and Li Qiufeng in the back. He is secretly proud of himself, thinking that Li Daxia is the top martial arts master, and sister Murong's martial arts is not weak.Qi Jiu has powerful palms, and Li Daxia and Sister Murong both value him very much.I walked among them, like sitting on a sedan chair, protected by several martial arts masters, no matter how many enemies there were, they couldn't hurt me.The more she thought about it, the more complacent she became. She didn't care about the peculiar smell in the cave, and said with a smile: "Maybe this secret road leads to the outside of the big stone cave, and someone is cooking a fire right now. After we go out, ask them for help." Wouldn't it be nice to eat a bowl of rice?!"

Everyone followed Morita Shinobi into the big stone cave early in the morning, and after that, there were many disturbances and strange encounters, and more than ten hours had passed.Everyone has not had enough grains of rice all day, and they are already hungry at this time.It's just that along the way, he first fought fiercely with Japanese pirates, and later avoided the pursuit of big crocodiles, escaped from death many times, and completely forgot about the fact that he was hungry.Entering the secret passage at this time, everyone felt that there was a hope of escape, and their hearts were slightly relieved.Hearing Wang Xiaoyu talk about eating, everyone felt hungry.All I could hear was the gurgling sound of each stomach, and the sound of swallowing saliva from time to time.

At this moment, Xiao Dong suddenly heard: "Everyone, don't look for plum blossoms to quench your thirst. This vague smell is not the smell of cooking and burning firewood. Those who dig the caves are indeed masters. In order to dig the caves, they first used Roast the rocks with firewood until they are crispy, and then pour cold water on them. The original hard rock will be broken immediately, and it will save a lot of effort to dig a cave. It’s impossible to imagine a stone cave relying solely on manpower. This secret passage is so long, a lot of firewood must have been burned when it was dug, and the smell of soot soaked into the rock, even after hundreds of years, it has not dissipated.”

When Li Qiufeng and the others heard what Xiao Dong said, their hearts shuddered.But Wang Xiaoyu snorted, and said in his mouth: "Some people can talk nonsense with their mouths besides drinking water and eating. Such a ridiculous and unfounded guess is really ridiculous."

Hearing Wang Xiaoyu's sarcasm, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, although Xiao Dong is narrow-minded, insidious and cunning, after all, he has worked in the Firearms Bureau for many years and worked for officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and the Firearms Bureau, so he is naturally not mediocre.Shopkeeper Hu and others are all dead now, Xiao Dong and us are walking together, we can say that we are alone and helpless, if we want to escape, we must rely on our strength, it is impossible to fool everyone in the cave.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Miss Wang, Mrs. Xiao is very knowledgeable, beyond the reach of you and me, you must not make random accusations."

Wang Xiaoyu didn't expect that Li Qiufeng would speak for Xiao Dong, she was taken aback, and was about to refute, when suddenly she felt someone tap her on the back lightly twice, and then Murong Danyan approached her ear, He whispered: "Sister Xiaoyu, listen carefully to Brother Li, and don't get entangled with Xiao."

Wang Xiaoyu was still dissatisfied in his heart, but he also knew that Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan acted like this, and naturally had other deep meanings, so he had to hold back and stop talking.But I heard Li Qiufeng say: "Master Xiao's words are very profound, can you explain a little bit to solve our doubts?"

As soon as Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Xiao Dong hurriedly shook his head and said, "My lord, the lower officials are running errands under the six departments, and they just follow the orders of the upper officials, so they are not well-informed. The supervisor went to the south of the Yangtze River to buy the gold bricks used in the mausoleum. Later, the officials escorted a batch of gold bricks to the imperial mausoleum, and saw the craftsmen digging the tomb underground. When they encountered huge rocks, it was extremely laborious to dig. They smashed the rocks with hammers and chisels Go and see sparks splashing everywhere, leaving only a white spot on the rock, which cannot be cut at all. Some old craftsmen asked people to find firewood, piled it on the left and right sides of the rock and set it on fire. Until the rock was burned red, they used A vat of cold water is poured over the stone. The stone shatters in an instant, and the hammer and chisel can be used to dig it without much effort."

When Xiao Dong said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "After ascending the throne today, I started to build the mausoleum. I also accompanied the Qin Tianjian and the adults of the Ministry of Industry to the imperial mausoleum several times. What are the craftsmen doing? The big rock also used the method of roasting firewood. Since the person who dug this secret path knew this method, it is presumably not an ordinary person. Mr. Li found the waist card on a skeleton before, I am afraid that these people are really Liao will be the master craftsman."

After Xiao Dong finished speaking, Li Qiufeng and others were all in shock.After a while, Li Qiufeng said: "These people are skilled craftsmen who built palaces and mausoleums for the emperor of the Liao Dynasty. It stands to reason that they should be in the capital of the Liao Kingdom. But Dongliao County is a despicable place, the capital of the Liao Kingdom. And the old nest is almost thousands of miles away from Dongliao County. One cannot build a big city here, and the other cannot build a mausoleum for the emperor. The craftsman who will be the prison has traveled thousands of miles here, spending a lot of effort and time. What is it for? "

Li Qiufeng was talking to himself, but no one knew how to answer.In the end, Wang Xiaoyu said disdainfully: "What else can they do here? It's nothing more than tomb robbery. Didn't we already guessed it before, maybe the officials who will be in prison passed by here and found a He became greedy when he saw the large mausoleum, and led a group of accomplices to rob the tomb. Unexpectedly, after exhausting all his efforts, he failed to rob the tomb, and died here instead."

Just as Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he heard Li Qiufeng say: "It is absolutely not possible for hundreds of people to carve out such a long and secluded stone path, and to carve out thousands of stone steps on the wall of the big cave outside. Even if all the officials, large and small, who are the generals of the Liao Kingdom come here, they will definitely not be able to do this. Therefore, if it is true that the officials of the Liao Kingdom will rob the tomb, I am afraid that the city will be full of trouble. These people are here Digging secret passages and digging out stone steps will not only consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but will also take at least two or three years. Who are they and what are they going to do after all this trouble, we still can't guess right now come out."
