Chapter 802 Searching for the Imperial Tomb
Tao Bai laughed and said, "Don't worry about this. I, Tao Bai, am well-known in the Western Regions no matter what, so I can keep my word."

Li Canghai asked Di Qing and Lu Jitong to put away their weapons, and said angrily, "Tao Bai, since you and I are now in a cooperative relationship, I hope you don't hide anything from me. Since you came here under orders, you should also know that there is nothing in this world other than Except for me, no one can find the whereabouts of the imperial tomb."

Tao Bai nodded and said, "It's natural. If you have any questions, just ask."

"The first question, last year in Chongyang, I was ordered to go to Yangzhou to welcome the Three Great Artifacts of Japan. Have you ever coveted the Three Great Artifacts?" Li Canghai asked while staring at him.

Tao Bai frowned slightly, as if he couldn't understand why Li Canghai asked this.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said: "I did go to Yangzhou at that time, but I never coveted the three great artifacts." After a pause, Tao Bai said flatly: "Actually, you should thank me. If I hadn't appeared in time , the three artifacts have already been taken away by others."

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, and became more sure of what he was thinking.

After pondering for a while, he continued, "Second question, what does your master want from Qinhuang's Mausoleum?"

Tao Bai said indifferently: "I am the same as you."

"Besides this, is there any other purpose?" Li Canghai asked while staring at him.

"Isn't the goal of immortality enough?" Tao Bai asked rhetorically.

Li Canghai frowned immediately.

Seeing that his brows were tightly furrowed, Tao Bai smiled and said, "I've answered your question. Next, it's up to you to answer me."

"What do you want to ask?" Li Canghai asked indifferently.

"Today, when you leave the village, you must be looking for the imperial tomb. I want to know whether you have found the imperial tomb." Tao Bai said plainly.

Li Canghai said indifferently: "If the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor could be found so easily, it would have been stolen and excavated long ago. What we found today is only the tomb of Zhang Han, a famous general of the Great Qin Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor."

Tao Bai lowered his head and began to think. After a while, he looked at Li Canghai and said, "Next, where do you plan to start searching?"

"Although I have an ancient map of the Qin Dynasty in my hand, the mountains will inevitably undergo some changes over the past thousands of years. Besides, Lishan Mountain is covered by heavy snow, making it difficult to observe the terrain. It is not easy to find out the direction shown on the map. .” Li Canghai frowned.

Tao Bai looked at the heavy snow falling outside, and said calmly: "Five days, you only have five days to find the imperial tomb. After five days, whether you live or die depends entirely on your luck."

Di Qing said angrily: "Canghai has already said that Lishan Mountain is covered by heavy snow, it is difficult to observe the terrain, how can we find the imperial tomb in five days?"

Tao Bai smiled and said: "Miss Di, five days is really not long. But for 'Shenduan' Li Canghai, I think it is enough."

After finishing speaking, Tao Bai's face turned cold for an instant. He stared at Li Canghai, and said coldly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. After five days, if you don't find the imperial tomb, you will all die!"

Li Canghai glanced at him and said, "Five days is five days!"

After saying this, Li Canghai got up and took a few people with him, and left the General Temple without looking back.

"Leader, if you let them go like this, will you let the tiger go back to the mountain? Do you want your subordinates to send someone to monitor them?" A guard walked up to Tao Bai and said.

Tao Bai squinted his eyes, looked at the snowflakes falling outside the house, and said calmly: "Don't worry, they won't escape."

"Why is the leader so sure?" the guard asked puzzled.

"Because they have the same purpose as us." Tao Bai said deeply.

However, when Li Canghai and the others returned to Old Man Zhang's home, Old Man Zhang had been waiting anxiously for a long time.

"My lord, you guys are back. The old man is still worried that you are in danger!" Old man Zhang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw a few people coming back.

"Thank you for your care, old man. I'm safe and sound. By the way, the emerald has been returned, so I can rest assured." Li Canghai walked into the room, shaking the snow on his body.

The old man Zhang was stunned for a moment, then he knelt down to Li Canghai excitedly, and said: "The old man thanked the young master for Zhang Liang here!"

"Old man doesn't have to be like this, it's just a matter of little effort." Li Canghai said with a slight smile.

"I think you guys haven't eaten yet. The old man is going to cook for you!" After saying that, the old man Zhang went to the stove and got busy.

While old man Zhang was cooking, several people sat at the table and started talking.

Li Yu looked sadly at the blue marks on his arm, curled his lips, and cursed Tao Bai bitterly.

Di Qing rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Who made you so greedy? You dare to eat other people's food without even knowing whether the other party is an enemy or a friend. You see, I'm fine."

Hearing this, Li Yu's face suddenly turned into mourning. He curled his mouth and said, "After eating dry food for two days, birds have faded from his mouth. It's hard to see the meat, so naturally I want to eat it? I just want to eat meat. Then have a good night's sleep, isn't that also wrong?"

"A man, how can he have no backbone at all? They are also poisoned. Do you think Cang Hai and Ji Tong are crying like you? I despise you!" After finishing speaking, Di Qing made a contemptuous gesture towards Li Yu.

Li Canghai frowned, and said: "I have long been invulnerable to all poisons, and this little poison is not a problem to me. But to the prince and Ji Tong, there is a fatal crisis."

Di Qing patted her head, and suddenly realized: "Oh, look at my brain, I forgot that you are invulnerable to all poisons like me!"

Hearing this, Li Yu almost cried, but fortunately, Lu Jitong was with him, which made him somewhat more balanced.

"Ji Tong, it seems that we are the grasshoppers on the same boat!" Li Yu looked at Li Canghai and Di Qing sadly, and said, "Sir, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years and a baby boy soon. Promise me, from now on you After giving birth to a child, you must tell them why their uncle died!"

"..."

Several people were speechless for a while.

Di Qing's face was instantly flushed with embarrassment. She flicked Li Yu's wrist angrily, and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll hit your dumb acupoint and make you dumb!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. If you marry your husband, don't you want to have children? Of course, if you don't know much about this, you can ask me for advice. I don't have any reservations about my husband, hahaha!" Li Yu winked and smiled.

"Wow, I'm so mad, I must shut your mouth up! Don't run!" Di Qing became furious, yelling angrily, and ran into the yard after Li Yu.
