A knife in love

Chapter 95

Tang He glanced at Yu Changyuan sideways, and said with a fake smile: "Brother Yu, what do you have to say?"

Seeing that Tang He belittled him so much, Yu Changyuan had no choice but to hold back his anger, and said with a smile: "Old escort Tang doesn't know, brother Xu has already formed a friendship with his brother, and they want to do this business together. Without brother Xu's help, I won't be able to reach the imperial mausoleum. We are all sitting in the same boat now, don't hurt your friendship."

Tang He said in a deep voice: "This person is Qianhu from Jinyiwei. He is a senior official of the fifth rank. How could he let his official position go and help us get the treasure?"

Xu Yingyang sneered and said, "Since I agreed to Master Yu, I naturally have my conditions."

Tang He said: "What conditions?"

Xu Yingyang said: "After taking the treasure, I want to monopolize [-]%!"

Tang He laughed out loud, which only made the stone room buzzing.He only heard him say loudly: "How can you, you boy, want to eat such a big piece of fat?"

Xu Yingyang said: "I want [-]% of the treasure, of course I have my reasons. With me all the way, no matter Jinyiwei, Dongchang or local officials, I dare not make things difficult for you. I think the treasure must be huge in quantity, and it must be transported Out of the imperial mausoleum, you will be questioned by officers and soldiers along the way. Without my help, I am afraid you will not even be able to get out of Lianhua Mountain. In addition, I have abandoned the fifth-rank official and did not come to this troubled water. If the share is less, Why should I take such a big risk?"

Tang He turned his head to Yu Changyuan and said, "Is this really what you and him agreed?"

Yu Changyuan showed embarrassment, and said, "It's true..."

Tang He turned to Xu Yingyang and said: "Old Yu and you have made countless promises. If you want to make a fortune with us, we will give you [-]% of the treasure after it is done."

Xu Yingyang said: "Old Escort Tang, are you treating this as a business, are you still bargaining?"

Tang He laughed and said, "Whether it's in the world or in the officialdom, which thing is not doing business? It's just that some are buying and selling official positions, and some are buying and selling lives. It's [-]% of the treasure, and you can't eat it all in ten lifetimes, so why be so greedy?" ?”

Xu Yingyang thought for a moment, and said: "Okay, I will follow what Old Bodyguard Tang wants, but Old Bodyguard Tang is a prominent figure in the world, so it's better not to be dishonest."

Tang He said: "The people here today are all well-known figures in the Jianghu. Everyone can give a personal certificate. After the matter is completed, Master Xu can get [-]% of the treasure."

Seeing the two reconcile, Yu Changyuan said from the side: "It's the best thing for everyone to make money by harmony."

Jia Ruan said: "Looking at the meaning of this edict, the first emperor wanted us to take this edict, and then take the treasure, and then announce this to the world, so that troops from all over the country can enter Jingqin King. What's the old escort's opinion?"

Tang He took a "bah" and said: "Go ahead and dream of his Qingqiu dream. This kid Zhengde ran amok when he was in power, and he wants us to work for him after he dies. That's unthinkable. Let's just take the treasure, other things Leave him alone."

Yu Changyuan said from the side: "Old bodyguard Tang is right. Emperor Zhengde is a foolish emperor, we can't afford to take the risk of fighting for the throne for the Zhu family."

After hearing this, Jia Ruan said, "Then destroy this edict." After speaking, he asked for a torch from a bodyguard, and then he wanted to burn the edict.Xu Yingyang shouted: "Stop." He took a few steps forward and pushed the torch away, and said to Tang He: "This edict was written by the late emperor himself, it is extremely precious, can you give it to Xu for collection?"

Tang He laughed and said: "You officials are so strange, how much are these bad characters worth? If you like it, you can keep it as you like, and no one will snatch it from you."

Xu Yingyang said: "Then I would like to thank Old Bodyguard Tang for making it happen." After saying that, he cupped his hands, rolled up the scroll and put it in his arms.

Tang He said to everyone: "Although this edict is not very useful, it shows that there must be a treasure. Let's search carefully to see where the treasure is placed."

Hu Gui was still staring at the brocade box, and said to Tang He: "I look at this brocade box quite strangely. I thought it was extremely delicate, and it opened with a touch unexpectedly. The things used by Ouchi shouldn't be so rough. right."

Tang He said: "If you see something strange in this box, search it carefully. The rest of the brothers will search around to see if there is anything suspicious."

Hu Gui walked around the altar for a few times, and suddenly reached out and grabbed both ends of the brocade box and lifted it upwards vigorously, only to hear the sound of "creaking" friction, everyone was startled, thinking that some mechanism had been touched again, and the alarm was triggered. With a cry, Qi rushed towards the tunnel outside the stone chamber.

Hu Gui was also taken aback, turned over and lay on the ground, and there was no sound for a long time.Suddenly someone scolded angrily: "You bastard surnamed Hu, didn't you see that I can't leave now?"

I saw Yue Tieya sitting cross-legged on the west side of the stone room. Everyone escaped from the stone room. He was seriously injured and couldn't leave even if he wanted to.Fortunately, there were no crossbow arrows, etc. Yue Tieya escaped, and couldn't help but curse.

Hu Gui stood up, but ignored Yue Tieya, took a few steps forward, turned to Tang He and said, "Haha, the organ is indeed in this brocade box. Come and see, old escort Tang, it turns out that the secret way It's actually in this tomb!"

Tang He was overjoyed when he heard the words, and rushed to Hu Gui's side, only to see that the dome of Qiao Sinan's tomb had been split from the middle.With the light of the torch, one can see a sarcophagus on the left side of the tomb, but on the right side of the sarcophagus there is a square hole, and a stone step extends inward from the hole.It's just that the range of the torch's illumination is limited, so I don't know where the cave leads.

At this time, everyone gathered around again, looking at the dark cave entrance, they were all excited, but also a little afraid.

Tang He made some calculations, and said to Yu Changyuan: "Brother Yu, you were the first to start this business, so please take the brothers from Wuhu Villa to the cave first, and I will bring Xingyuan Escort Bureau and a few friends from Jianghu Follow behind, I don't know what brother Yu wants?"

A few days ago, in the old shop of Gu's family in Yong'an City, Tang He had forced Yu Changyuan to take everyone from Wuhu Villa to fight with Taishan faction, so that the Xingyuan Escort could reap the benefits.At this time, he repeated his old tricks, and Yu Changyuan had expected him to do this, and immediately said: "It is my duty to resign." Immediately, Zhuang Ding of Wuhu Villa was summoned to one place, except for more than ten people who were shot to death by crossbow arrows. , there are still a dozen Zhuang Ding left.Yu Changyuan said: "After a while, the second and third brothers lead five brothers into the cave first, followed by Lord Xu, brother Li, and Mr. Yan, and I followed behind with the rest of the brothers. Did you hear that?"

Yan Dufei and Li Qiufeng looked at each other, thinking that Tang He used Yu Changyuan as a scapegoat, and this old thief Yu wanted to use us as a shield.It's just that even though he thought so in his heart, he pretended not to know on the surface, and kept nodding his head in agreement.

Holding torches in their hands, Zhuang Hengyun and He Yi led the five Zhuang Ding into the entrance of the cave. After a while, Yu Changyuan said to Li Qiufeng and the others: "The three please."

Holding the sword in his right hand and the torch in his left, Xu Yingyang walked down the cave, followed by Yan Dufei and Li Qiufeng.This cave is not narrow, it is about Zhang Xu in length and width.Li Qiufeng walked in front of Yan Dufei and walked down the stone steps slowly.Under the light of the torches, Xu Yingyang was not far away from him. Moving forward, he could still see the lights of the torches in the hands of Zhuang Hengyun, He Yi and others, but they were a little farther away, and they were blurry.

After walking fifty or sixty levels, I reached the bottom of the cave.Ahead is a flat tunnel.Zhuang Hengyun was standing at the entrance of the tunnel with five Zhuang Ding.Seeing that Xu Yingyang and others had arrived, Zhuang Hengyun whispered, "Is Big Brother Yu here?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Master Yu is following behind, and I think he will be here soon."

Yan Dufei illuminated the surroundings with a torch, looked around for a while and said, "From Brother Qiao's tomb to here, the cave walls are very rough. Presumably this is not the tomb passage of the late emperor, but a tunnel dug temporarily."

Xu Yingyang said: "Judging from the edict, the first emperor wanted people to first go to Master Nan's tomb to obtain the edict, and then enter into his tomb through this secret passage, transport the treasure out, and hand it over to King Qin's army for the sake of Big things. Sigh, the late Emperor was so outrageous, such big things are like child's play. How did he know that the person who got the will would definitely do something for him?"

Li Qiufeng said: "There are always loyal people. This matter is not yet settled, so don't be disappointed."

Xu Yingyang said: "It's a pity that all we see are villains like Tang He..." He originally wanted to add the word "Yu Changyuan" after Tang He, but suddenly thought of Zhuang Hengyun and Zhuang Ding from Wuhu Villa Right by his side, he choked back these three words abruptly.
