Since he decided to conquer Ni Lai, Li Xian naturally wanted to use all means to completely convince him and at the same time completely relieve him of his worries. Therefore, Li Xian agreed to his request without hesitation and was ready to complete his efforts in one battle and completely annihilate Ni Lai.
Master.
After some deliberation, Li Xian and Ni Lai formulated a very careful plan. The core of this plan was a large-scale tomb robbing operation.
The tombs robbed were also carefully selected by Li Xianjing. They were the tombs of a Sui Dynasty official. This official was called Ma Hu. Although his official position was not high, he was a very vicious official in the history of the Sui Dynasty. It is said that the Sui Dynasty
Emperor Yang ordered him to build canals and rivers. During this period, he not only killed the people, but also coveted countless treasures. He also had a habit of cannibalism. Therefore, adults along the river often used his name to scare crying children.
For such a corrupt official, the treasures in the tomb will naturally be considerable. However, this tomb is more cleverly hidden, and various anti-theft methods are very clever. Even with the methods of a local master, he tried several times to find the exact location of the tomb.
But every time he came back defeated.
It is precisely because of this that when Li Xian proposed to rob this tomb, Ni Lai couldn't help but open his eyes in surprise, because in his opinion, even an expert like Ni Lai could not determine the tomb, let alone himself.
, Although Li Xian was a prince of the first generation, he certainly had a lot of relevant information in his hands, but how could he be so sure about Ma Hu's burial place?
Li Xian smiled mysteriously and did not explain. Instead, he took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms, handed it to Ni Lai, and said to him: "After you go out, go to Luoyang City to find a skilled technician."
Ask the blacksmith to make a sharp weapon according to the pattern above. When you come back, I will teach you how to use it, and I guarantee that you will be able to explore the tomb five or six times faster."
"Ah? There is such a sharp weapon in the world?" Ni Lai couldn't believe his ears, but since Li Xian was so solemn, he also believed that the other party had absolutely no need to deceive him, so he nodded and took it.
He took the silk cloth, carefully stored it, and quietly changed to a set of guards to serve, and then left in a grand manner under the leadership of Li Xian.
According to the agreement between the two, Ni Lai came to Dongshi and made the sharp tool that Li Xian told him, only to find that it was just a shovel, but the shape of the shovel was very weird, the shovel body was curved, and its cross-section looked like
Like a machete on the grassland.
Ni Lai saw that the shovel looked very strange. He was puzzled and didn't know what its use was. So he had to follow Li Xian's instructions and contact his master Tufuzi through a special channel with the news of his discovery of Ma Hu's tomb.
After making contact, Ni Lai took the shovel he had just made and came to a dirt hill that had been arranged in advance.
"What's the name of this shovel? Is it useful?" Even though Ni Lai was always calm, he couldn't help but want to find out this time. When he saw Li Xian, he asked impatiently.
Li Xian said with a smile: "Why be anxious? We will know about this in a moment. Wu Chen, just go and be vigilant around you and don't let anyone get close to you."
Only then did Ni Lai see that there was only one guard following Li Xian. Although he knew that this person must be Li Xian's admirer, he couldn't help but blush. Just now, he only blamed himself for being careless and not noticing that there was a third person beside him.
, Fortunately, I consider myself an enemy rather than a friend, otherwise, I might not know where my head is now.
Li Xian naturally knew what Ni Lai was thinking, so he came over and patted him on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to feel guilty about this. This person's methods are such that many first-rate masters can hardly detect them at all. What's more,
What's more, we are waiting for you? Come on, let me show you how to use the Luoyang shovel."
"This thing is called a Luoyang shovel? The name is quite novel, but what is its use? I really want to see it." Ni Lai knew that the person just now was a master, so he was no longer disappointed, and then turned his attention to the Luoyang shovel.
on the body.
"This thing is good at digging holes and exploring holes. Its efficiency is several times that of the iron pick you use. Let's see." After Li Xian finished speaking, he thrust the Luoyang shovel into the ground and quickly dug the hole.
What surprised Ni Lai was that Li Xian was only five or six years old, but it only took him less than half the time to dig the hole. If he had dug according to his own strength, the effect would definitely be improved by five or six times.
What was even more surprising was that Li Xian did not just take a few glances and then change places as his master taught him. Instead, he took a closer look at the soil, even smelled it with his nose, and then smiled.
Said: "The burial pit must be not far ahead. The soil is Wuhua soil, and there are obvious signs of being turned. Judging from the soil quality, it was turned about forty years ago, which coincides with the time when Ma Hu died.
It matches, so I judge that not far from here is the entrance to the tomb passage."
Next, Li Xian told Ni Lai in detail how to distinguish soil quality, how to judge the age and other key points. This made Ni Lai's heart shake like thunder. He really didn't expect that a child of only six or seven years old would know such a thing.
He had a lot of knowledge about tomb robbing, and it seemed that he was much more knowledgeable than his master Tufuzi. This made his attitude towards Li Xian change from fear and gratitude to admiration.
As for why Li Xian knew so much knowledge about tomb robbing, he didn't ask about such things, nor would he ask, because everyone has their own secrets, which he learned since he was a child. As for another point, Li Xian was astonishing as ever.
There is nothing unacceptable for the prince to participate in such a despicable thing as tomb robbing, because he is also a tomb robber himself, so he naturally does not despise the work he is engaged in.
I saw Li Xian wielding the Luoyang shovel not far away, and quickly dug out an exploration pit. After careful identification, he continued to dig forward, sometimes slightly correcting the direction, until finally, Li Xian's Luoyang
The soil brought out by the shovel actually had a hint of green. Now even Ni Lai knew that he had found a tomb, and there must be bronze objects in it.
Bronze burial objects were not popular in the Sui Dynasty. If this is really the tomb of Ma Hu, the bronzes in it must have been looted or robbed from ancient tombs during the process of opening the river. However, since the color of the soil has turned green, it is obviously not
How completely preserved, but after all, the tomb was found, and there should not be too few gold, silver, and jade articles buried with it, so this time he was destined to make a fortune.
Ni Lai suppressed the excitement in his heart and followed Li Xian to cover up the excavation pit hastily, then quietly left the place, only to wait until nightfall before returning to dig the hole and rob the tomb.
Shortly after they left, they heard the rumble of horse hooves, and dozens of men in fine clothes rode horses, carrying swords, picks, hoes and other tools, and arrived at the place where Li Xian and Ni Lai were exploring the cave.
The man at the head was short in stature and had a fierce look, but he was extremely skilled. He kicked off his legs and jumped off the horse. After a few ups and downs, he arrived in front of the land covered by a clump of weeds. With a push of his hands, he
I saw that the exploration pit dug by Li Xian was exposed in front of me.
"Hmph, Ni Lai really colluded with another treasure hunter master. I wonder why this guy hasn't shown up in the past two months. But as long as we are in Luozhou, any master can only be used by me. Otherwise,
, then there is only one way to die. Children, each of you find a place and lie down in the grass. When the traitor Ni Lai arrives, follow my orders and kill the traitor in one fell swoop."
"Ah? Master, if it weren't for Brother Ni who left the news this time, we wouldn't have known that the tomb had been discovered. Speaking of you, Brother Ni has no fault or merit, so how can we get rid of him?" said a man next to him.
The man of medium build felt very unfair after hearing what the man said, and he quickly asked.
Unexpectedly, in just a moment, a crisp slap hit his face, and he heard the man say: "Liu Laoliu, I know that you have a good relationship with that guy, but that guy didn't do it without my permission."
, colluding with foreign bandits without permission is already a violation of the family rules. If you don't punish me as a teacher, how can you prevent future offenders? If you still want to survive, then be obedient. After you succeed this time, you will definitely benefit. Otherwise,
, my master will send you on your way now, so that you can be a pair of benevolent and righteous brothers with that guy in the underworld."
When Liu Laoliu saw that the other party was angry, although he was not angry in his heart, he did not dare to risk his life. He had no choice but to endure his grievances and plead guilty to him. Coupled with the pleas from the brothers around him, he made the man give up for the time being, but the man obviously didn't want to
Liu Laoliu was spared so easily and made to serve his crime. He must put more effort into this treasure hunt to prove his loyalty, otherwise, he may be buried in the tomb.
The man finished dealing with Liu Laoliu's affairs, his expression softened slightly, and he turned to the three broad-shouldered men beside him and ordered: "Old eight, old nine, and old ten, you don't have to participate in the ambush. Haha, let's go ahead.
Not far away is the entrance to the tomb passage. The master Ni Lai hired has saved me a lot of effort. Since God has given it to us, why not take it? You can just dig the tomb passage and wait until we eradicate the evil.
Thief, you and I have dug the grave."
The man laughed ferociously and formulated an almost perfect plan in just a moment. He was worthy of being the leader of the tomb robbing gang in Luozhou and a local master who had been famous in every county in Luozhou for more than ten years.
However, the native master and his accomplices did not pay attention. At this moment, a figure left quietly under the cover of the wind.
"Haha, this native master is indeed worthy of being a hero, strategizing, and extremely sophisticated. It's a pity that this time, even if he has wings, he can't escape from someone's grasp." Li Xian listened to Zhang Wuchen's report and didn't care.
He smiled faintly, but his seemingly plain words revealed endless murderous intent. Although it had nothing to do with Ni Lai, this made him feel chills running down his spine and trembling with fear as he stood aside.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was dusk. Tufuzi and his disciples were all hiding in the nearby yellow grass. On the seemingly peaceful grass, a murderous intention was quietly brewing. This chapter has been completed!
