The moon is at the zenith.
Dong Zhongshu was the first to approach Huo Qubing's body, and then he saw bright red blood on the ground and some red and white flesh, which was shocking.
He turned around and looked to make sure the blood was not from Huo Qubing.
"King Huainan... escaped?"
Huo Qubing squatted down and touched the blood on the ground lightly, stretched out his hand and twisted it. Through the blood, he could sense the specific state of King Huainan, and he could later track him based on the blood.
"His heart was injured by the sword energy, and his abdomen was penetrated by the sharp edge of the sword... There is another hidden person who appears, otherwise it would not be so easy for King Huainan to escape."
Huo Qubing took out the Human Emperor's Book from the clothes on his chest, which is the book that records the fate of the country and its people.
Inheritance is also a part of strength. Compared with family background, no matter how long Zonghengdao plans and accumulates, it cannot compare with the big man who unified the world.
Huo Qubing was well prepared when he came to destroy the Lishan Secret Area in Zonghengdao.
He still had the upper hand when fighting against beings of the Huainan King level, not only because of his own strength and military strength, but also because of the artifacts he carried.
Huo Qubing had expected the appearance of his wife.
The last time Zi attacked him at Zonghengdao Mountain Gate, and when he left, he was attacked by Dao Zun holding the book of national destiny, and was stained with a ray of purple aura of national destiny. No matter how much he hid himself later, once he got close to a certain distance, Huo Qubing could feel his presence through the National Destiny and Ten Thousand People Register.
Therefore, Huo Qubing dealt with Zi's offensive just now very calmly.
There was another person... Dong Zhongshu was stunned for a moment. With his cultivation, he didn't notice that there were other powerful people besides King Hezi of Huainan.
Huo Qubing was also surprised.
According to previous estimates, the person brought should be enough to trap and eat the opponent, but the extra person skewed the results.
Bai Nanyu said before that among the three Zonghengdao disciples hiding in the darkness, there is also a soldier... Could it be that he rushed over?
Huo Qubing was chasing the Huainan King just now. The moment the two parties came into contact, another murderous intention approached and appeared very suddenly.
The intensity of the energy forced Huo Qubing to withdraw, giving King Huainan the opportunity to leave.
When King Huainan left, Zi also escaped from the confrontation with Dao Zun.
Not far away, only Bai Nanyu and a "Zun" from Zonghengdao were left, still facing each other in secret.
The other party's face was covered in cold sweat.
He and Bai Nanyu had a strong connection with each other and did not dare to withdraw rashly. Otherwise, not only would there be no hope of escape, but they might also be killed on the spot.
You must know that what Bai Nanyu is best at is speed. If you fight with her, you will be unable to run if you are at a disadvantage.
"Huo Hou's battle formation has sealed this space. Even if I don't chase you, your ability is not enough to escape."
Bai Nanyu said: "Qian Kunzao, you rarely appear to the outside world. You have been dormant in the secret place of Lishan Mountain all year round, trying to crack the mechanism of the imperial mausoleum for the great master and his son, and you have almost never participated in subverting the conspiracy.
If you are willing to surrender, I can ask Huo Hou to spare your life. "
The gentleman opposite Bai Nanyu is named Qian Kunzao. He is over fifty years old, slightly shorter than ordinary people, slightly fat, and dressed in brown Hanfu.
He has been dormant underground all year round. His skin color also appears pale and his hair is sparse.
Seeing Huo Qubing and Dong Zhongshu coming from the side, Qian Kunzao showed panic on his face: "I have been restrained by the Great Master. If I surrender, I will die."
Bai Nanyu followed the temptation well: "I was restrained by the Great Master before, but now that the Master is killed, my restraint has been broken by Master Dong. Don't you want to try?"
Huo Qubing came nearby and glanced at Qian Kunzao.
Bai Nanyu said: "This person has been hiding in the secret area of Lishan Mountain all year round. He knows the mechanisms there and the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum best."
Huo Qubing grunted: "If you want to live or die, you can decide with just one word!"
Want to live... Big beads of sweat dripped from Qian Kunzao's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I...will surrender."
Dong Zhongshu looked at Huo Qubing, and then a ray of aura separated from the Confucian holy scroll in his hand, turning into a faint light and falling on Qian Kunzao.
A black mark appeared between Qian Kunzao's eyebrows, which was suppressed by Confucian Qi and was obviously faded.
"Although I can undo your mark, I can't just undo it for you. It's only temporarily suppressed for now."
Dong Zhongshu is skilled in the routine, which means that it depends on your performance after surrender. If you are tempted to repeat it or make a mistake, the restriction can still kill you.
Qian Kunzao nodded dejectedly, as long as he can survive for now.
Tao Zun also returned from the battle.
He was holding a yellow silk book in his hand: "In order to prevent me from chasing him, Zonghengdao did some tricks in this silk book and then threw it in. If I chase him, the silk book will be destroyed."
"So you chose to chase the silk book and let the person run away.
What is this silk book? "
"This silk book is also a Taoist scroll. It was stolen together with the Taoist slips. It is the practice method left by Yin Guanzi, the founder of the Yinxian Sect. Although it is not as precious as the Taoist slips, we cannot just watch the silk book be destroyed."
Tao Zun said: "I was still in the secret place of Zongheng Dao, and I sensed the breath of Dao Jian. I went back and took a look."
The barren mountains are lonely, and the bright moon moves westward.
The group returned along the original path.
In the underground secret area, the battle is also coming to an end.
The people in Zonghengdao could still fight for a while at first, but the Han army became more and more numerous, and the result was self-evident.
The Han army was also injured by some agencies and was slightly damaged.
"Lang Zhongling!"
In the distance, the Forbidden Army approached and reported: "The secret area of Zonghengdao has been basically cleared. A total of 324 enemies have been killed, and 87 people are willing to surrender. According to Huo Hou's order, all those who surrendered will also be killed, one Not left."
Qian Kunzao was startled and thought to himself that I was the only one left alive.
"Huo Hou touched the defensive array of the Imperial Tomb before, but why was there no movement later?" Bai Nanyu asked.
"The great ancestor made an agreement with the old Qin people when he conquered the world. Including a secret scroll they presented, it has always been in your majesty's hands and is unknown to the outside world.
The secret scroll is something that the Qin clan used to commemorate the Qin Emperor's mausoleum. If it is sacrificed, it will be connected with the Lishan Mountains. It is equivalent to showing the identity of the Qin clan and calming the defensive array around the imperial mausoleum. After all, the war has not really started yet. "Huo Qubing said.
Bai Nanyu pursed her lips:
"If I am always restrained and cannot unlock the soldier slip that Huo Hou has hidden beside me, will Huo Hou have the means to save my life?"
"Well, by activating the register of the people and the power of the country, we can forcibly find your location. It's just that it's not as good as sending the message yourself, as you can grasp the timing better."
The corners of Bai Nanyu's mouth under the mask were slightly raised... Huo Qubing didn't tell her in advance what backup plans he had. It was obvious that the test for her was still going on before this operation.
But speaking out now shows that she has successfully passed the test and won Huo Qubing's initial trust.
Two secret areas that Zonghengdao had operated for many years were destroyed because of Bai Nanyu. She and Zonghengdao were as close as fire and water, and they were even better than Huo Qubing.
In the Lishan secret area, various key points have been occupied by the Han army, and the mopping up work is still in progress.
"What are the secrets in this secret place?" Huo Qubing asked.
Qian Kunzao said hurriedly: "There are several high-grade artifacts here in Zonghengdao, which can promote the hidden Qi in this secret place. Their main purpose of hiding here is to study the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."
"Research?"
"Huo Hou, follow me."
Qian Kunzao led the way, all the way to the confined space where the crack in the shaft was hidden and where one could view the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
Even Bai Nanyu didn't know about this place.
Huo Qubing didn't take it seriously at first, but when Cong Shujing glanced down, he suddenly looked surprised.
There is actually such a place where you can view the core of the First Emperor's Mausoleum!
"Marquis Huo, be careful. There is a soul-burning fire in this imperial mausoleum. It will occasionally erupt from the shaft, and it is completely irregular." Qian Kunzao reminded.
Huo Qubing looked at the Mausoleum of the First Emperor under the shaft attentively, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.
In his eyes, the arrangement of warriors and warriors in the imperial mausoleum below corresponded to the changes in the military formations. There were formations within the formations, and the way of military formations was pushed to the extreme.
Huo Qubing looked at it intently with bright eyes.
The only people who followed him in were Bai Nanyu, Qian Kunzao, and Dao Zun.
Dao Zun and Bai Nanyu also looked shocked.
"Only this ancient burial site, which also runs under the Lishan Mountains, can get close to the First Emperor's Mausoleum below, so we can observe the changes in the Emperor's Mausoleum from this point of view."
Qian Kunzao: "This is the core of the royal city of the imperial mausoleum. There are many auxiliary chambers around it, and there are more than ten pits for the burial of figurines."
Bai Nanyu said: "When the King of Huainan was talking with the Great Master, I heard them say that they could use the opportunity of Huo Hou to lead the Han army to fight with the terracotta warriors to send things into the imperial tomb.
It can be seen that they can not only observe, but also have ways to get in and out? "
"No, anyone who goes in will die."
Qian Kunzao said: "Although there are ways to send things in, they need to use special tools. And if the array of figurines remains unchanged, the things sent in will also be destroyed, and there will be no chance of getting close to the royal tomb. That's why they want to Use Huo Hou to unite the troops, shake the figurine array, and take advantage of the opportunity to try."
While the two were talking, Huo Qubing kept squatting by the shaft, staring motionlessly at the Tomb of the First Emperor below.
He actually saw a Taoist well exactly like the one in his consciousness sea in the First Emperor's Mausoleum, located directly in front of the main hall of the Imperial Mausoleum.
The only difference is that the Taoist well in the imperial mausoleum seems to be carved from white jade, and there is a jade monument erected on the edge of the well.
The rest of the details are too far away to be seen clearly.
The key is...how could a Taoist well appear in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?
————
Zi escaped after fighting with Dao Zun, and at midnight, he came to the depths of the Qinling Mountains, hundreds of miles away from Lishan Mountain.
On a cliff here, a small temple was built alone and suspended in the air, which was one of the places where Zi was hiding.
After he arrived, an owl-like bird flew up from the side of the cliff.
"Goo!"
The bird made a sound to indicate that after he left, there was nothing unusual around him.
The child soon appeared in the temple on the cliff.
The space in the hall is limited, with desks and beds placed, and the layout is simple.
There are pen and ink and simple writings on the case.
After sitting down, he wrote: "How is your injury?"
After half a tea cup of time, there was a response from the other side. It was King Huainan: "The injury is to the heart. We must find a place to heal the injury immediately."
The handwriting on the bamboo slips changed: "Both the mountain gates of Lishan and Fuyu were destroyed, especially the Lishan secret realm, which had a great impact on us.
The Lishan secret realm is the safest way to approach the things in the First Emperor's Mausoleum. Otherwise, I don't know how many lives it takes to get in.
Have you heard of Xianyu’s message recently? "
"Xianyu...what are you suspecting?"
"Perhaps we were wrong from the beginning. Xianyu's messages have predicted everything in the past. Why have we been so defeated recently?"
"What do you want to say?"
“We should hide in the dark again, avoid showing up, and mobilize the Xiongnu and surrounding tribes to deal with the Han.
Let's wait and see what happens, hibernate for a while, and then wait for the soldiers to come out.
If we take action next time, we must find the right opportunity. If Huo Qubing leaves Chang'an, we will work together to kill him.
With him and Wei Qing, we are no match for the Han army. "
Zi stared at the simple book in front of him and wrote: "Who saved you just now?"
There was no further response from King Huainan on the opposite side.
Zi frowned and thought silently.
————
The dense land of Lishan Mountain.
Huo Qubing asked Qian Kunzao: "Can you master the method of sending things to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?"
Qian Kunzao nodded: "I know, but it's very dangerous. I'm not sure I can succeed."
Huo Qubing thought to himself: Even if you are not sure, you should try it.
The ancient well in his consciousness, after he saw an identical well in the imperial mausoleum, was exuding strange rhythms, and there were symbols flowing and shining in the walls of the well.
Obviously, there is something in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum that is related to his death!
