Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 489 Happy People (4000)

But the old man didn't take the initiative to point it out, he turned his head and bowed to Wu Liang: "I'm sorry, I have seen General Wu."

"You don't need to be too polite, grandpa."

Wu Liang didn't shy away from it at all, and together with Bai Jingjing called him the grandpa, they returned the courtesy with a smile.

Thinking back to when he first met Bai Qiru before, he would have the audacity to call Yue Zhang directly, and even boasted that he and Bai Jingjing had mutual affection, but now that he has a substantial relationship with Bai Jingjing, he is naturally bolder.

"General Wu has only been away for a year, I don't know what is the purpose of visiting the humble house again this time?"

The old man paused, then asked again.

"Grandfather, it seems that you still can't trust me."

Wu Liang was too lazy to continue wrangling with him, so he suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Let's get straight to the point, I came back this time because I heard that the group of tomb robbers who coveted the tomb of King Guangchuan last time had returned, so I read In terms of the relationship with Jingjing, I came to help out all day and night, if the Bai family can't trust me, and continue to pretend to be confused, then I'll just ask, anyway, it wasn't my ancestral grave that those people dug."

While talking, Wu Liang looked away arrogantly, as if he was really annoyed.

"Grandfather, he really came to help us."

When Bai Jingjing saw this, she quickly persuaded, "That group of people are thieves under Lu Bu's command. A few days ago, he happened to catch a spy sent by Lu Bu, and after interrogating him, he found out that the group of thieves were under the order of Lu Bu. Attention to the tomb of the first king, so let me know immediately, and come back with me to help the Bai family."

"This……"

The old man was actually trying to test Wu Liang, but deep down he didn't believe that Wu Liang had anything to do with the gang of thieves who appeared recently.

After all, Wu Liang had successfully entered the tomb last time, and he also took away the most precious Suihou beads in the tomb. Of course, he also brought out the valuable gold. There is no need to revisit the old place.

What's more, when Wu Liang left, he also assisted them in resealing the mausoleum and setting up a release mechanism. If he really had the idea of ​​revisiting the old place at the beginning, there would be no need to do such a thing of taking off his pants and farting.

But as the tomb keeper, this mausoleum is the most important secret of their family.

Therefore, before Wu Liang explained the purpose of his visit, it was absolutely impossible for him to casually tell Wu Liang, an outsider, about the matters related to him.

But now hearing Bai Jingjing say the same thing again, a look of light appeared in his old eyes, who had fallen into despair.

"General Wu forgives the crime, but because everything is related to the tomb of the former king and the fate of the Bai family, the little old man has to be cautious in his words and deeds. Since General Wu came to help the Bai family this time, the little old man is grateful." Before it's too late, how can you pretend to be confused."

The old man quickly straightened up, and bowed to Wu Liang gratefully.

"Understand."

Only then did Wu Liang return to his smiling face, "Then please tell me about the current situation, Grandpa. After we understand the situation, we will discuss how to deal with it."

"good."

The old man nodded, and then ordered someone to close the wooden door of the living room, then lowered his voice and said, "Because General Wu already knew about it, I won't repeat it here. According to what my Bai family observed secretly, this guy After the people came, they went straight to the Valley of No Return. The first batch of about [-] people set up camp in the valley first. In the next few days, more people arrived one after another, and soon gathered about [-] people. public."

"They hid in the valley during the day and didn't make any movement. They waited until night before ordering people to go out of their tents and dig around in the valley. Now they have dug up most of the valley, and even found the cave where the Yan family hid before. Fortunately, their The acupoint setting skill is not as good as that of General Wu, so far there is no intention to attack the mountain top where the tomb of the former king is hidden, it seems that it will take some time to find the tomb of the former king."

"It's just that, seeing what they mean, the little old man seems to have already determined that there is a tomb hidden here, and he will definitely not leave until he finds the tomb."

"This is the most embarrassing thing for us. If we continue to dig like this, I am afraid that if we dig all over the valley below, we will find the top of the mountain one day. At that time, even if General Wu taught us the quicksand to stop us, we can only I'm afraid I won't be able to stop these four hundred men and horses, and my Bai family is even more powerless to resist, I'm afraid it will only perish together with the tomb of the former king."

Speaking of this, the old man already showed a heavy worry, and then looked at Wu Liang expectantly, and asked a little closer: "Since General Wu got the news in advance, he led people to rescue, so what do you think?" You must have made complete preparations, and once you make a move, you can teach this group of thieves to go and never return? I wonder how many troops General Wu has brought? Where are these troops hiding, and will they arrive later?"

"The grandpa guessed right. Apart from us, there are twenty elite soldiers who are currently hiding in the forest outside the village."

Wu Liang smiled and said truthfully.

"twenty?"

The smile on the old man's face froze for a moment, then he smiled unnaturally, and said, "General Wu, don't joke with the little old man, even if he didn't have two thousand, General Wu had at least brought two hundred elite soldiers, and two hundred would be worthless." Not too much, as long as they are all elite soldiers, my Bai family is willing to lead the battle for General Wu's men, and it is not a bad idea to serve as a shield. Thinking about it this way, it may not be impossible to fight against those thieves. As long as the tomb of the former king can be preserved, the Bai family Up and down is death, but you can also smile at Jiuquan."

"Grandpa, you heard me right, there are only twenty people, not two hundred, let alone two thousand."

Wu Liang's words shattered the old man's fantasy.

"Cough cough cough...cough cough!"

The old man's old face collapsed in an instant, and his spirit was much worse than before. He coughed continuously, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs.

"Don't be disappointed, grandpa, even 20 people may not be able to accomplish things."

Wu Liang said.

"As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, but you are... 800 blows against more than [-] hands. Even if you are all counted, and the Bai family is also counted, we still have less than a hundred hands, and we are still far away. Far less than those fists, how can it be done?"

The old man wrinkled his old face and wrung Wu Liang's fingers, complaining while wrestling, "I just can't figure it out, when General Wu was still Sima, he could bring more than fifty people with him every time he came out. Why is it that you have been promoted to general now, but you only brought more than [-] people with you, don't you Cao Ying's official positions are promoted in reverse?"

"puff……"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly felt amused, they didn't expect this group of grave guards to have such a lovely side.

"The Grand Duke doesn't know something. Today is not the same as in the past. Now Yuan Shao and our envoys are at war with each other. Yuan City is Yuan Shao's territory. The risk of exposure will be greater if we bring more troops."

Wu Liang also explained with a smile.

"So, why aren't those thieves afraid?"

The old man immediately asked back.

"..."

Wu Liang was taken aback.

The angle of this question was tricky enough that even he couldn't give a reasonable answer, but this time it was the tomb guard who took the lead.

Fortunately, when Bai Jingjing saw that Wu Liang was being questioned, she quickly took over the conversation and said, "Grandpa, Wu Youcai doesn't like to fight with others. He is best at outsmarting. Now that he dares to bring only 20 people to help, it is natural I have already thought of a countermeasure, and I should be able to drive those thieves away without bloodshed."

"Jingjing, tell the grandfather honestly, have you already committed yourself to him?"

The old man looked at Bai Jingjing, this time he didn't pretend to be confused, and asked directly.

"what?"

Bai Jingjing was taken aback by the question, and then her pretty face was instantly covered with blood. She shook her head repeatedly but stammered, "No, no, Jingjing remembers the ancestral precepts of the Bai family in her heart, and she definitely dare not go beyond."

"If not, why did you speak up for him when you came back this time?"

The old man stared into Bai Jingjing's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her completely, "Even if not, I'm afraid the two of you are far from simple. I'm afraid you have committed your heart to him, right?"

"I……"

Bai Jingjing suddenly lost her voice, her blushing face buried in her chest with shame, but she hid behind Wu Liang unconsciously.

"Do you still remember what is the sixth ancestral motto of the Bai family?"

The old man's expression became more serious, and he asked in a more rigid tone.

"Women are not allowed to be infertile if they are not married, and those who violate it will be drowned..."

Bai Jingjing also replied in an even lower voice.

heard here.

Everyone in the Huan army frowned, showing displeasure.

My heart said that this old thing is so ignorant!
Thanks to Bai Jingjing who was worried about the safety of the Bai family all the way, both legs were almost broken, and it was also thanks to General Wu who traveled day and night, so we rushed here to help.

You old bastard doesn't know how to thank you, but you still cling to this stupid thing, and you still have to follow the ancestors' precepts. If you knew we shouldn't come, look at your family and the tomb of King Guangchuan It's good to be destroyed together. The Bai family is gone, and Miss Bai can stay with our General Wu without any hindrance. How can there be no status like now!
but……

Every time they came back to Chenliu, General Wu and Miss Bai were inseparable at night, and sometimes they could hear the movement inside, but Miss Bai said that they did not commit themselves to General Wu. What were they playing?
Then the old man went on to say: "You just need to remember, if your father knows about this, I'm afraid he will deal with your family even at the risk of tearing face with General Wu. Now he is leading people to go out to investigate. The family affairs should be handled by me, are you willing to listen to what I have to say?"

"Grandpa..."

Bai Jingjing fell into silence.

She is a very self-reliant girl. At the same time, because of the family education she received since she was a child, she is also a girl who attaches great importance to the precepts of her ancestors, even more than life.

It is precisely because of this that even though Wu Liang is often in the same room with Gan Chai Liehuo, and even when he is doing something, he often cannot help being distracted...but he always wakes up at the moment when he touches the bottom line, even if Therefore, even if he agreed to Wu Liang's obviously more excessive demands, he still could not overcome that hurdle.

Mental shackles are often stronger and more indestructible than physical shackles.

Fortunately, Wu Liang seemed to understand her inner struggle, and he never forced her, even more consciously than her not to cross that bottom line.

otherwise.

This matter will definitely become a guilt that Bai Jingjing can't let go of in her life. She will never be able to forgive herself, and she will never be able to face her relatives in the Bai family again. She will always live in guilt and pain.

Even Wu Liang will never be able to untie her knot.

After a long time.

"Jingjing is willing to listen."

Bai Jingjing knelt in front of the old man, lowered her head and listened to the old man.

"..."

Everyone in the Guanren Army couldn't help feeling even more upset.

What a broken ancestral precept!

What a broken rule!

We shouldn't have come, and we should have allowed the Bai Family and the Guangchuan King's Tomb to perish together!
When the hell is this, still insisting on this old, pedantic, tattered ancestral precept... If this old thing dares to punish Miss Jingjing, we will immediately take Miss Jingjing and turn around and leave. Could it be that this is the Bai family full of old, young, women and children? Can you still stop us?It's not that they underestimated them, Dian Wei could tear down the entire Bai family by himself!

at the same time.

Everyone in the Huanren Army subconsciously looked at Wu Liang.

They also want to know Wu Liang's attitude towards this matter, so that they can decide what to do next.

However, Wu Liang's expression now is unusually calm, as if he is not worried about Bai Jingjing's situation, nor is he indignant because of the old man's pedantry.

Shouldn't it be?

General Wu usually protects his weaknesses the most. Why can he let the Bai family do anything wrong when they come to Bai Jingjing's place?

"Okay! From now on, I will expel you from the Bai family. Your name will no longer appear on the family tree, and you will not be buried in the Bai family's ancestral grave after you die!"

The old man announced in a blunt tone, "Although capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped. Although you are no longer a member of the Bai family, you still need to spend your whole life to get back the Suihou Pearl to redeem the crimes you committed. Otherwise, the ancestors of the Bai family will never forgive you, can you accept the punishment?"

"?"

After hearing this, Bai Jingjing's body trembled suddenly, she raised her head in surprise, and looked at the grandpa who was looking extremely stern at the moment.

"..."

Everyone in the Huan army breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just expulsion from the Bai family, so it may not be a bad thing for Bai Jingjing to leave such an unkind Bai family alone.

But speaking of it, this old guy's skin is a bit too thick, he has already expelled Bai Jingjing from the Bai family, and still wants Bai Jingjing to work for the Bai family, he is simply more shameless than General Wu!
but.

Everyone looked at Wu Liang again, but found that Wu Liang was not only indifferent at the moment, but even looked at this stubborn old man with a knowing smile, and even nodded gratefully to him?
what's the situation?
Could it be that……

Finally, some people realize that things are not what they just thought.

at the same time.

"Thank you, General Wu, for not intervening in the Bai family's affairs."

The old man bowed his hand to Wu Liang again, and said, "Today's matter has nothing to do with General Wu, and General Wu is willing to help, Xiaomin is very grateful, but I also ask General Wu to do according to his ability, if this cannot be done, General Wu can leave at any time, and the Bai family has no complaints."

"Since Grandpa is so happy, this matter must be done!"

Wu Liang also arched his hands and promised with a smile.

He likes to deal with such cheerful people. It would be great for everyone to show their sincerity as soon as they come up, so as not to hurt their feelings when bargaining.
