A knife in love

Chapter 59

The members of the Xingyuan Escort Bureau left the Gu family's old shop angrily.It wasn't until these people left cleanly that Yu Changyuan let out a sigh of relief, and said to Yan Dufei and Li Qiufeng: "Thanks to the help of the two brothers today, the old man didn't fall into a big fall."

Yan Dufei said: "Where does Yu Daxia come from? Let's work together to do this business, brothers should contribute." Yu Changyuan said: "I thought I had a friendship with Tang He for more than ten years, so I came to him Helping the fist, I never thought that he was hiding his ambitions and wanted to take advantage of the fire. But this is also good, let us know the true face of this old thief, and deal with it carefully in the future, so that we will never be taken advantage of by this person again."

At this time, Zhuang Hengyun and others also came to the lobby, and Yu Changyuan briefly explained the matter just now, and then said: "Since the Taishan faction and the Xingyuan Escort have left, the Huashan, Kunlun and other gangs probably will not dare to make things difficult for us anymore. Just in time This is a good opportunity, let's rush to Babao Lotus Mountain, find Mr. Qiao Sinan's tomb first, and then make plans."

All the Zhuang Ding of Wuhu Villa tidied up and drove the five carts to the gate, and Zhu Ming removed all the organs and messages that had been set up everywhere.Yu Changyuan kept the four Zhuang Ding who pretended to be the shopkeeper and the waiter, and repeatedly told them to take good care of Liu Kang and his party, and left Zhou Jingtian's ashes in the old Gu's shop, planning to come back after finishing the work. burial.Everyone paid homage, and then left with tears.

A group of people left the Gu family's old store and headed straight to the east of the city.There was no one to stop them along the way, but when they arrived at the gate of Dongcheng, they saw a lot of blood on the ground and walls, presumably the battle between the beggar gang and the officers and soldiers was quite fierce.Zhuang Hengyun said with a smile: "These beggars have long lost their former prestige, but they still have the dream of being the largest gang in the world. These stinky beggars steal chickens and dogs, rob houses and do a lot of bad things, so they should suffer. Don't have big spring and autumn dreams as soon as possible."

The people came out of the city and walked eastward along the main road for five or six miles, but turned northeast again and walked along a small road.Zhuang Hengyun took the lead and led the way. After walking for several miles, he saw a stretch of mountain peaks in the distance.Zhuang Hengyun reined in his mount, turned his head and said to Yu Changyuan and the others: "Brother, in front of you is the Eight Treasures Lotus Mountain. The imperial mausoleum is on the east side of the Lianhua Mountain, and there are officers and soldiers stationed around the tomb. We must not get too close, if we are caught by these officers and soldiers If you find out, it’s quite troublesome.”

Yu Changyuan said: "Let's find a safe place first, discuss in detail how to explore the tomb, and then make calculations."

At that moment, everyone found a small valley nearby, let go of the carriages and horses, and sent several Zhuang Ding to guard. Yu Changyuan summoned the three owners of Wuhu Villa, Yan Dufei and Li Qiufeng to discuss how to find Qiao Sinan's identity. grave.Yu Changyuan said to Yan Dufei: "Now that we have arrived here, there is no turning back. Brother Yan, can you take out the map so that everyone can refer to it in detail?"

Yan Dufei said: "Naturally, Yan would dare to hide it for himself." Then he took out the map from his pocket, spread it on a piece of bluestone, and said to everyone: "Everyone, take a look at this map."

I saw several mountain peaks drawn on the map, quite similar to the Eight Treasures Lotus Mountain that everyone saw just now.At the eastern foot of the mountains, there are seven palaces painted in different positions. Next to the palace in the upper left corner, a monkey is painted squatting under a big tree, while the other six palaces have no trees or rocks.

Zhuang Hengyun is an expert in tomb robbers. Everyone looked at the map for a long time, and they all looked at Zhuang Hengyun in unison.He pondered for a while, and said to everyone: "This picture is a detailed picture of the imperial mausoleum. The palace in the upper left corner is the Kang Mausoleum of the late emperor. The other six palaces are Chang Mausoleum, Xian Mausoleum, Jing Mausoleum, Yuling, Maoling, and Tailing. The tree and monkey are specially drawn in front of the tomb of the first emperor in the picture, which obviously has a deep meaning. If Mr. Zhuang's calculation is correct, Mr. Qiao Sinan's tomb must be related to this tree and monkey Relevant. We have to find this place first, and then make calculations."

Yu Changyuan said: "Second brother is right, what do brothers Yan and Brother Li think?"

Yan Dufei said: "The second villa owner is a great expert, we only need to obey his orders, and everything will go smoothly."

Zhuang Hengyun shook his head again and again, and said: "The imperial tombs are heavily guarded. Zhuang has stepped on plates here many times over the years. It's just ashamed to say that he has never been close to any imperial tombs."

Hearing what he said, Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei both thought in their hearts: "It turns out that you five guys have been planning the imperial mausoleum for a long time. You really are quite courageous."

Yu Changyuan said: "Today we are doing business together, there is no need to hide some things. Brother Yan, Brother Li, we five brothers have been trying to make a fortune in the imperial mausoleum all these years, that's why we built the Wuhu Villa in the remote area. Near Yong'an City. Over the years, the five of us have been working separately in order to steal an imperial tomb one day, take gold, silver and jewels and fly far away, so that we will no longer be bullied by the court."

Yan Dufei said: "This is the behavior of a hero! The gold, silver and jewels in the emperor's tomb are the people's fat and people's ointment collected from the emperor's tomb. Let's take it out and spend it, but we have done a good deed for the Li people."

Yu Changyuan patted his thigh, and said: "Brother Yan is not only good at swordsmanship, but also this knowledge really admires the old man. The Ming Dynasty is in a precarious state, and the court is arguing about big rituals, party disputes, good officials who have some knowledge are confused You have to die, you have to escape. The Central Plains is rioting with the White Lotus Sect again, harassing several provinces, and the people are in dire straits. Let’s get it early and take the gold and silver and go overseas. I heard that there are many small countries in the ocean far away. If you have money, you can live freely there, why bother to be exploited by the imperial court in the Central Plains?"

Everyone talked excitedly, and each came up with some ideas.Li Qiufeng remained silent all the time, Yu Changyuan said: "Brother Li didn't say a word, is there something unspeakable?"

Li Qiufeng said: "What is the situation, why does Li dare to hide something? There is only one thing, Li is quite worried."

Yu Changyuan and the others were startled, and looked at Li Qiufeng with some doubts.Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Although there are many soldiers and horses stationed around the imperial mausoleum, it's nothing to worry about. It's just that there are many masters of the Xiaoling Guard hidden in it. These people are truly terrifying..."

"Xiaoling Guard?" Yu Changyuan said to himself: "Isn't Xiaoling Guard in Nanjing? How can there be any master?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "This Xiaoling Guard is not a place name, but the guard army set up by Emperor Chengzu to guard the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizu. Although Xiaoling Guard is not included in the twelve guards of the guard army, it is Holds the tiger talisman left by Emperor Chengzu, guards the mausoleum of the empress of the Ming Dynasty, and holds the power of life and death. Those who enter the Xiaoling Guard as servants are all personally selected by the commanders of the Xiaoling Guard in the past, and they have the privilege of being hereditary. These people Not only are the martial arts powerful, but many people have also learned different skills. Although Jinyiwei and Dongchang have great power these years, they are also afraid of Xiaolingwei. Fortunately, Xiaolingwei has been stationed in Nanjing, and only a few masters are in Beijing. Guards of the mausoleum, so their prestige is not obvious in the imperial court and in Jianghu. If we enter the imperial mausoleum, once we meet the masters of Xiaoling guards, I am afraid that it will be very inconvenient."

When everyone heard what he said, their hearts became heavy.Yan Dufei had never heard Li Qiufeng mention Xiaoling Guard before, so he immediately said: "These masters of Xiaoling Guard are not in Nanjing Xiaoling, what are they doing in Beijing?"

Li Qiufeng said: "After Emperor Chengzu set up the Xiaoling Guard, in addition to letting these people guard the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizu, he also visited Fengshui masters all over the world and asked these people to teach Xiaoling Guards. The top masters are not only strong in martial arts, but also know the secrets of Fengshui. After Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, he established a rule that the mausoleum of the Ming emperor must be set up by the cabinet scholars in the court, the emperor's confidants and Xiaoling guards. The envoys will conduct a joint investigation. After Emperor Daxing is buried, a few master Xiaoling guards will be stationed at the imperial tomb to prevent the Feng Shui pattern of Emperor Daxing's tomb from being damaged. These masters are not under the jurisdiction of the guards of the mausoleum. The power to mobilize the defenders of the imperial tomb is extremely powerful."

Zhuang Hengyun couldn't help clapping his hands when he heard him say this, and said: "No wonder I tried to enter the imperial tomb several times, but I failed in the end. It turns out that there are such powerful people lurking in the imperial tomb."

Li Qiufeng was stunned, and said: "Has the second owner met these Xiaolingwei masters?"

Zhuang Hengyun sighed and said: "If Brother Li didn't tell me, I thought I was just unlucky before. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I have fallen into the trap of Xiaolingwei masters several times. I just don't know why these people didn't Killing the killer, that's how I escaped from the Imperial Tomb."
