A knife in love

Chapter 68

There was only a "click" sound, and the door of the wing room was pushed open.

Everyone hid behind the big tank and held their breath.Only the sound of footsteps was heard, and someone actually walked towards the vat.

Yan Dufei sat leaning behind the tank, holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, Li Qiufeng shook his head at him, signaling not to do anything.At this moment, the man had arrived in front of the vat, and immediately stopped. After a while, only the sound of "drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp" was heard, the man was actually urinating towards the vat, humming a ditty Son, when everyone smelled an unpleasant smell of urine, they cursed secretly.

After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming from a distance, and then someone shouted: "Who is it!" The orderly footsteps suddenly became chaotic, and the sound became louder and louder. Came over here.

But I heard the person in front of the tank say: "It's me." Then someone laughed and said: "So it's Laoshou! He still comes out to release water in the middle of the night, didn't he drink less last night?"

That old Shou said with a smile: "Chief Yu is joking. How dare you open your stomach to drink before the job is finished? If you miss the project, you will be killed!"

The whistle chief said: "Kill your ass, this is not the palace. The purpose of killing your head is to scare you ordinary people. Besides, you have been working here for more than ten years, and the minister in charge of the mausoleum has to call you 'Old Shou', are you still afraid of a bird?"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and the post chief Yu said "retire", and left with the night watchmen.When the soldiers had gone far away, the old man gave a "bah" and said to himself: "These dead people are disturbing my peeing." The tank urinated again, and then wandered back to the room.

After the candles in the room were extinguished, everyone stood up and looked around. The whole Kangling was completely silent.Zhuang Hengyun waved his hands at the crowd, only to see that he jumped to the roof of the wing house.Everyone performed their lightness kung fu and jumped onto the roof together.There is another courtyard behind the wing room, and there is an archery tower at the end, but behind the tower is a big round hill, under the starlight, it looks like a hill.

Zhuang Hengyun pointed to the round mound with his right hand and said in a low voice, "That is the tomb of the late emperor."

Yu Changyuan looked at Yuanqiu, then turned to Yan Dufei and said, "Brother Yan, where is Mr. Qiao's tomb?"

Yan Dufei said: "According to the markings in the picture, Brother Qiao's tomb is in the southwest corner of the sealed mound."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but looked towards the southwest corner of the round hill.I saw a poplar tree in the southwest corner next to the red wall.

Since everyone entered Kangling, they haven't seen a single tree.At this time, under the starlight, I saw a big tree, and my heart was shocked.The poplar tree is more than five feet high, and it grows very prosperously.

Yu Changyuan whispered: "The map indicates a tree and a monkey. Now that the tree has been found, where is the monkey?"

At this moment, someone in the wing room at the foot scolded: "In the middle of the night, you rats don't sleep, you climb to the roof and mutter, don't you want to steal something?"

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look at each other.The voice was exactly that old Shou who was peeing in front of the vat just now.

Immediately afterwards, the old man said again: "Damn it, even dare to steal the tomb of the emperor's old son, I am really impatient. If you don't run away now, will you wait here to punish the nine clans?"

At that moment, there was a sound of gong in the front yard, taro pine torches were lit everywhere, and a large number of soldiers guarding the tomb poured out from everywhere, holding shining knives and guns in their hands.Torches were also lit on the watchtower in front of the round hill, and people stood there indistinctly.

The seven people lay down on the roof of the wing house, not even daring to make a sound.

After a while, they could only hear the sound of horseshoes in the front yard. Everyone looked up and saw more than ten horsemen and horses coming slowly from the front yard under the light of the torches.At first, there was a man wearing a helmet and holding a big knife. Although he couldn't see his face in the night, he was tall and tall, and he looked like an iron tower sitting on a horse.

I only heard the sound of horseshoes stepping on the bluestone slabs and making a crisp "tat-tat-tat" sound. The sound was getting closer and closer, and soon came to the front of the main hall at the junction of the front yard and the back yard.

The man sitting on the horse reined in his mount, raised the sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Brothers, in a few days, it will be time for us to change our defense. We have been guarding here for two years, and we have been drinking for two full years. Shanfeng, the brothers have lost their mouths! Fortunately, the imperial court is considerate of everyone, and just received an urgent official document from the eight hundred miles of the capital. Zhao Shangshu of the Ministry of War has received the emperor's order, and we will leave from the imperial tomb soon. Let's go, go to Shandong to garrison!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers around him cheered together.Thousands of people shouted in unison, the momentum was quite astonishing, until the roof tiles seemed to be trembling.

After the cheers of the soldiers stopped for a while, the man swung the broadsword in his right hand again. The soldiers immediately shut up and stood in silence, and the imperial mausoleum became dead silent again.I just heard the man say loudly: "We came to Shandong this time to fight Japanese pirates for the imperial court, not to enjoy the blessings. But there are some young people who procrastinate all day long, do not observe military discipline, and neglect military orders. , to slacken the morale of the army. Brothers, tell me, should this kind of person be killed?"

All the sergeants shouted in unison: "It should be killed! It should be killed!"

The man chuckled and said: "Since the brothers all said that they should be killed, then the general will sacrifice these people to the flag, and it will also count as giving us a strong army and winning the first prize!"

He hadn't finished his sentence when he heard a sound of armor leaves. Two of the eight armored warriors escorted one of them, pushed all four of them to the front of the horse, and forced them to kneel on the ground.

The armor on these four people had already been stripped off, and they were only wearing white cloth clothes.Under the light of the torch, the white clothes were covered with bloodstains, presumably he had suffered a lot.Everyone's hands were tied behind their backs, and those with disheveled hair were kneeled on the ground by the sergeant.All four of them had a wooden stick in their mouths and were tied behind their heads with ropes, so although they tried desperately to speak, they couldn't speak.

Immediately, the man sneered and said: "You four are people with a lot of history. With the backing of others, I thought that Sang would not dare to kill you. It's just a pity, a pity, the person who can save you wants to save you, but now It's too late."

The four struggled desperately, saying "hoho" in their mouths, but they couldn't speak.

Immediately the man said loudly: "Everyone recognizes these four people, and their positions in our battalion are not low. Yes. Brothers may not know why they came here to kill their heads tonight."

Having said that, he paused, looked around, and said loudly, "Do you guys know where this is?"

I only heard someone shouting in the middle of the army: "This is the mausoleum of the late emperor!"

The man nodded and said: "This brother is right. Let's serve as soldiers to eat food and protect the whole family from freezing and starving to death. This kindness is naturally given by the emperor. When the late emperor was around, he took good care of us. Every time I went to fight the Tartar soldiers outside the Great Wall, I never treated my brothers badly. After the death of the first emperor, we first went to Datong, where we had land and land. Many brothers bought the next property and lived a happy life. But There is a group of treacherous ministers in the court. Seeing that our frontier army is living a good life, they tried every means to transfer us to such a place. How many brothers abandoned their families and followed me here. Sang owes everyone a favor, and never dares to forget Now someone in the imperial court is finally willing to speak for us. He left this place and went to Shandong to have a good time. We are all men who lick blood on the blade of a knife. Don't let it go! To tell you the truth, among these four people, there is a fan of Dongchang."

When he said this, he pointed at the four people with a big knife in his hand.The soldiers around were furious, and they all waved their fists and shouted: "Kill them! Kill them!"

The four people whimpered and struggled to stand up, but they were kicked and punched by the soldiers guarding them, and they all fell to the ground after a while.

Immediately, the man said: "Today the imperial court's deployment of troops has arrived, and we can set off in a few days. Today, we will kill these four people to sacrifice the flag in front of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, so that everyone will remember who gave us our good days!" "

Someone shouted loudly: "The first emperor led us to fight against the Tartar soldiers. Every time we went to war, everyone got a lot of money and went home to buy fields and land! Ever since the first emperor passed away, we have been in this place. Whether you drink or not, the wives and children stay in Datong to endure hardships. This is all caused by treacherous officials in the court! Let’s kill these four traitors first, and then go to Beijing to kill the treacherous officials!”

Someone took the lead in shouting, and thousands of soldiers followed suit.

Li Qiufeng leaned on the roof tiles, and when he heard the words "Qing Jun's side", his heart was shocked, and he thought to himself: "At first I thought these people just wanted to kill a few officers to vent their anger, but unexpectedly they called out the three words 'Qing Jun's side'." One word, this clearly means rebellion!"
