The Diamond Umbrella was finally built.
Chen Zhou was no longer vague, took the team of Colonel Mo Jin and General Faqiu, left Puyang and rushed to Chenliu.
This time, Cao Ang did not follow the tomb robbing operation.
The two hundred and fifty people were led by Dian Wei. Dian Wei followed Chen Zhou and soon arrived outside Chen Liu, more than thirty miles to the southwest. Here is a group of mountains, which are not very high.
The royal tomb of King Ai of Zhongshan is among them. Before setting off, Chen Zhou sent people here to investigate.
"Have you found the entrance to the royal tomb?"
As soon as Chen Zhou arrived at the foot of the mountain, he asked Dian Wei.
"found it."
Dian Wei nodded.
The people who came to investigate in advance have already explored this place clearly, and they came to the other side of the mountain together.
It was no longer snowing at this time and the snow had almost melted. It was easier to find the entrance to the tomb door. The person in charge even made a mark here.
"Our people have checked and found that the nearest village here is almost ten miles away. The nearby fields have long been abandoned. No one comes even at night, let alone during the day. You can dig graves with confidence." Dian Wei added.
Chen Zhou took a Luoyang shovel and shoved it in the direction of the tomb door.
After repeated attempts several times, a small hole was dug deep inside.
Soon, the Luoyang shovel hit the hard tomb door and made a crisp collision sound. It was probably judged that the soil covering the front of the tomb door was not thick, so there was no need to rush to dig.
"We'll start again tonight. Now let's all rest and recover our strength."
Chen Zhou ordered.
More than two hundred soldiers all sat down to rest and recharge their batteries, waiting to move the belongings inside tonight.
"Sir, why must it be at night?"
Dian Wei asked puzzledly.
Wouldn't it be better to dig graves during the day?
Chen Zhou explained: "Firstly, it is not easy to be discovered by others if it is hidden at night. Secondly, it is easier to communicate with the owner of the tomb at night. People light candles and ghosts blow out lamps. If communication cannot be done during the day, the owner of the tomb will blow out the lamp directly. This can only be done at night." "
This casual deception immediately made Dian Wei and more than 200 people feel a chill again.
Even in broad daylight, there was a dark wind.
Especially the fifty soldiers who had seen a ghost blowing out their lamps once, seemed to believe that there really was a ghost.
They don't care whether what their husband says is right or not, as long as they think what he says makes sense.
Soon, night falls.
The soldiers began to dig, and the tomb door soon appeared in front of them. They then pried it open with an iron bar, and a rotten smell rushed out from inside.
They did not go in immediately and waited for the air inside to circulate before taking action.
"Sir, how do you think this Prince Ai of Zhongshan compares to the tomb of Prince Xiao of Liang?" Dian Wei rubbed his hands expectantly.
In the Western Han Dynasty, there was an order to push grace.
The weight of King Ai of Zhongshan is no longer as high as that of King Jing of Zhongshan. It can be said that the grade of this tomb is not as good as that of King Jing of Zhongshan or that of King Xiao of Liang.
But the family of Prince Jing of Zhongshan has a very fine tradition, which is that it is super capable of giving birth to children.
According to incomplete statistics, the total number of sons and daughters of the big stallion Liu Sheng is more than 200. Although Liu Chang, the mourning king of Zhongshan, is not as powerful as Liu Sheng, he is half as powerful. When he was buried, there were so many children, each of whom Just put some funerary objects there, and the number is already huge.
Liu Chang's children are only the third generation. The grace order has not cut them too hard, and those children are still rich.
As for now, under the influence of the grace order, Liu Bei, the Prince of Zhongshan, can only sell straw sandals.
As for the royal tomb of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, there are more belongings inside. It is said that there are even jade clothes with gold threads. Chen Zhou doesn't know how greedy he is for this. Unfortunately, it is too far away. He will definitely dig it out if he has the opportunity in the future.
Based on these judgments, Chen Zhou said: "It may be richer than the tomb of Prince Xiao of Liang."
When they heard this, they became excited again and forgot all about ghosts and lights.
This time the waiting time was longer. About an hour later, Chen Zhou asked someone to put the chicken he had brought in. After waiting for a long time, he dragged the chicken out and it was still alive and kicking.
"Do it!"
Chen Zhou said: "This time I will go to the tomb in person, you follow my orders."
It would be impossible not to go to the tomb in person, because the tomb of King Ai of Zhongshan does not have any mechanism inside, and it is not like the tomb of King Xiao of Liang. Chen Zhou did not know the structure inside, so he had to be careful, otherwise more than 200 people might stay there. inside.
"Give me the diamond umbrella."
Chen Zhou said again.
Each torch was quickly lit, and Dian Wei personally protected Chen Zhou as he entered.
This royal tomb is located on the east side of the mountain range. When you enter the tomb, the first thing you see is the north and south chambers. The chambers are generally used as warehouses. When you go inside, you will find some calligraphy, paintings, weapons, etc. that Liu Chang liked during his lifetime. Things that have been buried underground for so many years have long since decayed.
There are also some jewelry, which I will take away later.
Continue to go deeper inside and pass through the well corridor, which is the middle room. There is also a stone door here.
"Pry it open and prepare the Diamond Umbrella."
As Chen Zhou spoke, he took out his diamond umbrella and threw it to a soldier for defense.
Immediately, several soldiers came forward with iron bars in their hands.
As soon as they pried open the stone door, there was a sudden piercing sound, and the soldier holding the diamond umbrella quickly opened the umbrella.
Dangdang...
Several crisp sounds rang out, and the arrows shot out from beside the stone door were blocked by the diamond umbrella.
Despite this, everyone was still so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, my husband was well prepared, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
I don't know if the mechanism here was in disrepair or for other reasons, but no arrows were fired soon.
"continue!"
Chen Zhou said.
Then he was thinking about whether to train a group of careful people in the future who would be responsible for dealing with the mechanisms in the tomb passages. It seemed possible to have this. He would arrange it after he returned home after digging here.
After the air circulation behind the tomb door was completed and they put chickens in to test it, they entered the middle room and broke some mechanisms, such as arrows, traps, etc. However, most of the mechanisms were in disrepair and could not exert much power. That's it.
The middle room is a simulated room where the tomb owner lived. It not only contains the tomb owner’s coffin, but also various beds, desks, lamps, candles and other things.
"Light the candles!"
Chen Zhou said.
Dian Wei had already prepared it and lit candles in the southeast corner of the middle room.
Seeing that the candles were burning normally and no ghosts were blowing out the lamps, everyone was slightly relieved.
Chen Zhou looked at the coffin in the middle room for a while. It was the first time he went down to the tomb and the first time he saw something like this. He was a little scared. This was the first time. But he wouldn't be scared if he came a few times in the future. I soon got over it.
"You separate, go to the back room, look for those belongings, and be sure to pay attention to the agencies." Chen Zhou ordered.
"yes!"
Everyone is cautious.
They held up their torches and carefully groped inside.
I'm afraid there will be another agency.
Dian Wei even arranged for someone to keep an eye on the candle in the southeast corner. As soon as it went out, he could immediately take countermeasures and turn around and run outside.
The tomb robbery went smoothly.
"Sir, something has been discovered."
"I saw a lot of gold and jewelry in the back room!"
Not long after, someone ran out and said excitedly.
"Go in and have a look."
This was Chen Zhou's first time going to the tomb, and he certainly didn't want to miss the scene in the back room.
