People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 671 Tang Taiziyin, Nanchang King is not a good person

Under the darkness of night, the flames on Gaoyang Plain were dotted with light, and there was a vague figure shaking.

On the edge of the southeastern hills of Gaoyangyuan, a figure wearing a brass mask stood silently there.

Looking at the figures in the tents around the tomb from a distance, under the firelight, the figures in the eyes became more and more hateful.

The one who appears here at this time can only be the King of the East China Sea.

The funeral of Concubine Yin Zheng's has ended, and a group of people have returned to Chang'an, including Nanchang Wang Li Xuan, Zongzheng Temple Minister Pei Guangxiao, Huainan Dachang Princess and others, all returned to the palace for their orders.

Everything passed smoothly, without any accidents, and almost all the eyes that paid attention to this place have been withdrawn.

As long as the servants of the Shaofu Supervisor who stay here to guard the spirit stay here for ten days under the guard of the right guard, then everything will be completely over.

This was originally the easiest thing to do.

Two teams of right guards stood guard on both sides of the mausoleum, set up camps and tents, patrolled day and night, and ordinary people could not approach at all.

In addition, there are two other teams of soldiers staying in the village a few miles south of the mausoleum.

If there is any abnormal movement here, the soldiers in the village will be alerted immediately. Once they are found out, they will immediately notify the guards on the Chang'an city wall in the distance.

Visible, invisible, open and dark, I don't know how many guards are guarding here.

The emperor will not allow any accidents to happen, lest Concubine Zheng just be buried today, and her tomb will be silently stolen tomorrow.

If this kind of thing really happened, even if the news could be completely covered up, for the royal family, it would not hesitate to be directly slapped in the face.

……

In the darkness, the King of the East China Sea just kept watching, without burning incense and worshiping, and without bowing his head.

I don't know how long it took, but the King of the East China Sea was finally tired of watching. When he turned around, he was already drifting silently towards the village in the south.

The footsteps fell on the ground, as if they were three inches above the ground, but the speed was astonishingly fast. It didn't take long for the King of Donghai to come outside the village.

The whole village has long been filled with right guards, guarding the distant goal together with the people in the village here.

Gaoyangyuan, this is where the mausoleums prepared for themselves by the dignitaries of the court, many people have already been buried here.

Those powerful families have already arranged for many people to keep vigil, visit graves and pay respects.

The people who are arranged here, of course, will not be important figures in the family, but the place here is too sensitive, and it is extremely difficult to mess with people like this.

It's okay for the right back to be a little more arrogant, but if they are really suspected of colliding with something, even their chief will find it extremely troublesome.

The king of Donghai silently bypassed the guards in the village, no matter whether it was the elite right guard or the existing guards, they didn't find him.

Silently, the King of the East China Sea had carefully arrived at a small courtyard on the southeast side of the village.

This courtyard looks ordinary, but it is actually the closest courtyard to the mausoleum in the entire village.

five miles.

The courtyard is exactly five miles away from the mausoleum built by Prince Yin.

The King of the East China Sea entered silently. The owner of the courtyard seemed to have fallen asleep and found nothing.

The King of the East China Sea threw himself directly into the well.

In the darkness, the King of the East China Sea slid down to the surface of the well, and then stretched out his hand to the right. In a blink of an eye, a false wall slid away soundlessly.

A man in black stood at the inner door and bowed solemnly when he saw the King of the East China Sea arriving.

The King of Donghai closed the false wall, and then said in a cold voice: "Stay here, don't let anyone cut off our back."

"Your subordinate obeys the order, Your Majesty, be careful."

The King of the East China Sea nodded, then moved forward quickly, and disappeared completely in the dark and long underground passage in a blink of an eye.

The underground passage is very long, two meters high, no need to bow your head, 1.5 meters wide, and there are wooden stakes on both sides to support the top.

There is no sign of any collapse in the long passage, which is definitely built by experts.

Every 50 meters, there is a torch hanging on the wall, illuminating the passage ahead.

The King of the East China Sea kept moving forward, the further forward, the lower the passage.

But the bottom is limited, because they have already dug to the rock formation below, and then proceeded along the rock formation.

Five miles away, there is a straight line. Looking back, you can still faintly see the torch at the entrance.

In the deepest part of the cave, two dark rooms have been dug on both sides, and twenty lifeless assassins sat silently inside.

The dagger and hand crossbow are placed on one side, ready to kill at any time.

……

The King of Donghai stood at the end of the passage, raised his head slightly, and three meters above was the tomb of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng.

As long as you do it, you can immediately open the passage to the tomb.

"After waiting for a whole year, is this moment finally coming?" Donghai King raised his head and sighed softly.

A year ago, no one knew how much he had calculated to finally get to where he is today step by step.

The death of the filial emperor Li Hong, the turmoil of the Tianyin Sect in Muzhou, and even the surprise attack of Winter Silla, were all to attract the attention of others so that he could come here without anyone noticing.

And his purpose of coming here has never been to tell others about his existence, but to take something from here.

A thing in the hands of Princess Yin Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng hid that thing very deeply.

The people in the palace are watching her every move almost all the time. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for that thing to be sent out, and there is also the need to avoid being discovered by the palace when it is sent out. The difficulty has increased by several times almost instantly. times.

But in the end, a method was figured out.

That is death.

Use death to send out the most important thing to King Donghai.

And the reason for choosing now is because Concubine Zheng's body is no longer in good shape.

At the age of 78, the body is not the second, the key is that she has begun to have trouble remembering things.

Finally, the news got in and the news got out.

As for why this news has not been discovered, it can only be said that this is a secret, a secret that only a very few people know.

In the dead of night, at the beginning of the fifth watch, the king of the East China Sea finally waved his hand, and the killers of Wu Sheng Dao on both sides immediately began to carefully poke away the dirt on it.

The dirt fell into the ground with a rustling, and was quickly pulled out and put into the ear chambers on both sides.

Half an hour later, a hole leading to the tomb above has been completely opened.

Tomb robbery has always been prevented from entering from above, and rarely from below.

At most, a layer of stone slabs is laid on the bottom of the mausoleum.

……

The stone slab was lifted, and the King of the East China Sea finally appeared in the tomb of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng.

Although the air here is a bit cloudy, it doesn't affect how people treat people. After all, someone just opened it during the day.

Two coffins, one new and one old, lay flat on the ground.

Li Jiancheng and Zheng Guanyin, the couple died nearly 50 years apart, but now they are lying together in this simple tomb.

The king of the East China Sea glanced at Li Jiancheng's coffin with indifferent eyes, and then looked directly at Zheng Guanyin's coffin on the other side.

It was this woman who made him survive in the end. After Li Ji used his eldest daughter to switch with him, he immediately sent him away, but he never cared about it again, as if such a person had never existed.

The East China Sea King walked slowly towards Zheng Guanyin's coffin, turned his hand, and a sharp dagger appeared in the East China Sea King's hand.

In the slight sound of "squeak", the coffin was opened...

After a while, the "squeak" sounded again, and the coffin was closed again.

A piece of yellow cloth appeared in the hands of the King of the East China Sea. He wiped the contents of the yellow cloth vigorously. Finally, under the faint light of the passage below, a jade seal with a trace of blood appeared in the hands of the King of the East China Sea. .

The king of the East China Sea flipped his hand, and the jade seal had been turned over, with a few words engraved on it: "The seal of Taizi of the Tang Dynasty."

Taizi is the prince.

There are two seals for the prince of the Tang Dynasty, one is the gold seal of the turtle button, and the other is the jade seal of the button.

After Li Jiancheng's death, the jade seal with a double bucket button that he carried with him disappeared, and only a gold seal with a turtle button was found in the Prince's Mansion.

Emperor Taizong didn't care too much, because although he killed his elder brother and younger brother, there was still a Supreme Emperor on his head.

It is difficult for the old Ministry to pose much threat to Emperor Taizong.

However, no one knew that at some point, this jade seal that Li Jiancheng was supposed to carry with him fell into the hands of Zheng Guanyin.

How many years have passed, Zheng Guanyin has been quietly in charge of this jade seal, and finally, after her life is over, this jade seal is passed on.

Looking at the blood on the jade seal, how could the King of the East China Sea not know how much pain his mother had gone through in order to pass on the jade seal.

Well, it's finally over now.

The King of Donghai turned around, bowed heavily to Concubine Zheng's coffin, then turned around and immediately jumped into the cave.

Before the person landed, the voice of the King of the East China Sea sounded: "Immediately, seal the tomb..."

As soon as his footsteps landed on the ground, the king of the East China Sea flipped his hand, and the jade seal in his hand was gone.

A dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, carefully guarding it in front of him.

A figure in black gold silk soft armor stood three meters in front of the King of the East China Sea, with blood dripping from the blade of the sword hanging on the ground in his hand.

On both sides of the figure, lay more than 20 corpses, all of which were wiped across the throat by a sword, so fast that they couldn't react at all.

The King of Donghai raised his head and looked at his opponent, with incomparable surprise and disbelief deep in his eyes: "King Nanchang, when did you find this place?"

"Today." Li Xuan looked at the King of the East China Sea calmly, and said softly, "I followed you all the way, it's just a pity that you didn't find me."

"It seems that I was careless." Donghai King smiled wryly. At the moment when he was about to achieve his goal, he was still careless. Li Xuan followed him all the way to the secret stronghold without him noticing.

The King of Donghai raised his head, his eyes fell on the assassins whose throats were sealed with a sword, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect, King Nanchang, your skills are much stronger than the rumors, and you are much stronger than I expected. should be much stronger.”

Li Xuan shook her head calmly, and said: "It's not too strong, I just used some drugs. Such a narrow space is really suitable for using drugs."

"I have forgotten that the king of Nanchang is also a master of medicine." The king of Donghai smiled, and he threw a small black porcelain bottle out of his sleeve, and then said with emotion: "It seems that this little trick of my seat is But the King of Nanchang is gone."

Li Xuan looked calmly at the brass mask on the face of the King of the Eastern Sea, with a majestic and slightly ferocious expression.

"Put down the things and tie them with your hands tied. This king will give you a chance to face the Holy Spirit." Li Xuan said softly, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Heh!" The King of the East China Sea smiled, looked at Li Xuan and said with a sneer: "There is no need to act, the King of Nanchang is cruel and ruthless, as long as I hold my hands, you will immediately cut off my head. understood."

"Could it be that you are wrong." Li Xuan still spoke lightly, and said softly: "Perhaps this king has always been a good person."

"Haha..." The King of the East China Sea laughed loudly, and then turned cold for a moment: "If you are a good person, what is the poison in the air? Don't worry about it. This thing can't help me."

"It's a pity, I originally wanted to save your life." Li Xuan stepped forward, and the whole person was already floating forward.

With a lift of his right hand, the infinite sword shadow has directly enveloped the king of the East China Sea.
