Taraka was blindfolded and taken out from the deep underground dungeon, but when she came out, she heard everyone in the entire mansion busy working, as if they were digging a hole to set up an ambush.
When Tarojia was brought to the restaurant, she took off the black gauze that covered her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the big devil tied her and a very fat woman together with iron chains. Even if she was asked to escape, she wouldn't be able to do it unless the chain was broken.
But when she looked carefully, she realized that the iron chain was made of gold and iron. Let alone an ordinary knife or ax, even the magic weapon that could cut iron as if it were mud could not be broken.
And there is a gold iron lock hanging on it, with the word "Mo" clearly written on the lock. This is the masterpiece of the Mohists of hundreds of schools of thought in the Central Plains, and it will be even more difficult for others to open it.
Great Demon King, you really tried your best to prevent yourself from escaping!
Looking from the window of the restaurant, the Governor's Mansion was as bright as day, but not a single person could be seen.
"Young Master, you are rich!"
Fu An's eyes were shining and he was panting as he ran, but his face was full of smiles.
"What's going on?" After Tarojia left, Li Ke stayed in the dungeon until midnight.
If the tunnel is not opened, he will not go out through the main entrance. Even if he is disguised, someone may see through it. There may be people from the Loulan tribe watching outside.
"When the brothers from the youth camp were digging a tunnel, they discovered a dilapidated tunnel that led to a dry well in the palace."
"And in the tunnel, they found a lot of scattered gold and silver and countless skeletons."
"Finally they found a stone door. After breaking it open, they found a small room full of boxes. The boxes were filled with gold, silver, jewelry and rusty weapons."
"There are about fifty boxes worth several million pounds."
Hey!
Li Ke immediately became happy. He really couldn't stop the fortune when it came. He dug a tunnel and found someone else's treasure house.
However, according to Qu Wentai's behavior, he would definitely not hoard so much wealth. If he really had so much wealth, he would have used it to recruit troops.
That old guy Qu Wentai is a very ambitious person.
Then, the gold and silver jewelry hidden in this secret passage must be the treasures hidden by Gaochang King Ma Ru when the Gaochang Qu family seized power from the Ma family in Gaochang.
The Gaochang people founded their country with the help of Rouran, so although they are a country composed of Han people, they have never had political ties with the Han people. Instead, they have become a satellite state of Rouran.
In 488 AD, the Que family of Gaochang was killed by Afu Zhiluo, and the Zhang family of Gaochang stole the power and became the ruler. In the same year, the Zhang family of Gaochang was killed by the rebel army, and the noble Ma Ru of Gaochang stole the power.
In order to consolidate his power, Ma Ru sent people to pay tribute to Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and requested that the Han people from Gaochang be moved inland.
Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty naturally agreed and ceded 500 miles of Yiwu land for the Gaochang Kingdom to live in. However, this move was opposed by most nobles in Gaochang.
Just when Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty sent Mingwei General Han Anbao to accept him, Ma Ru was killed by the collusion of the left and right chief ministers, and the right chief minister Qujia became the king of Gaochang.
As for these treasures, it may be that Ma Ru knew that the Qu family was rebellious, so he asked Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty to move eastward and hid all the money at the same time.
Li Ke thought about the origin of these treasures, and followed Fu An to the underground secret room. The boxes were full of gold, silver, jewelry and various jade articles.
However, beside the corpse, the youth camp found Taihe five-baht coins, which made Li Ke even more certain that this treasure was definitely hidden by Ma Ru.
"Move everyone to the palace, and then seal the secret passage so that no one can enter or exit."
After Li Ke finished giving his instructions, he walked directly to the secret passage leading to the palace.
By the time Li Ke came out of the palace and returned to the restaurant, it was already midnight.
And Yan Yunda also came to report that the pit had been dug and the arrangements had been made. He was just waiting for the fish to take the bait. But the fish probably wouldn't take the bait tonight. After all, there was a lot of movement in front of the manager's house in the middle of the night. I don't dare to let anyone get close.
Li Ke fell asleep in the restaurant.
The courtyard of the General Manager's Mansion gradually fell into darkness and became quiet. Near the General Manager's Mansion, occasionally there were a few dogs barking, or the cry of a child came from the residents' rooms...
At this moment, in a dilapidated house in Gaochang City.
Following a few rooster crows, several nearby houses opened their doors one after another. A few sneaky people, after looking around, jumped lightly and climbed onto the beam. After a few jumps, they entered a house at the same time. In the house.
These people are farmers or traders during the day, and they come from all walks of life, but at this moment they are real masters, with impressive momentum.
Among these eight masters, six are middle-aged men and two are middle-aged women, and their appearance is not that of the Western Regions, but that of the East, belonging to the Turkic race.
"An order came from the family. That Dog Prince of the Tang Dynasty should be damned. He actually deceived the young master and made the good situation in the Western Region fall to the Tang Dynasty again."
"The Central Plains Hidden Family asked for news. No one from the Central Plains Hidden Family or other schools of thought was willing to support the Tang Dynasty. They all wished that the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed or that the Tang Dynasty would be at war!"
"And since the Mo family follows the royal family, the Li family, naturally the Central Plains Hidden Family will come out to take care of them."
"Don't be afraid of the masters of the Mo family. According to the information from the family, the masters of the Mo family and the masters around King Qin have all gone to the southern region to find the lair of the Loulan clan."
"It is said that Princess Xiangxiang of the Loulan clan, our young master's fiancée, was captured by this dog prince."
"The situation is quite urgent. Let's go directly to the General Manager's Mansion tonight and kill all the generals including King Qin and Li Jing. Tomorrow, the Tang Dynasty will be leaderless in the Western Regions."
"After all, my Ashina family has the final say in the Western Region!"
After the man finished speaking, he had several boxes taken out from the cellar. The boxes were opened, and they were all magical weapons made of tungsten steel.
The eight people didn't say anything, just nodded and picked up their weapons.
"Tonight is the best opportunity. Maybe tomorrow night, the masters around King Qin will come back, which will be troublesome."
"Set off……"
The eight people grabbed their weapons, walked out of the door one after another, and disappeared into the darkness.
The chickens all over the city have begun to crow, which means that it is already the fourth watch, and after this pre-dawn darkness, it will be bright.
The eight people had a clear goal. As soon as they entered the courtyard, four people went straight to Li Ke's bedroom, and the remaining four killed important generals of the Tang Dynasty.
In the darkness in front of the yard, the eldest of the eight people suddenly said: "Something is wrong, I smell a strong murderous aura..."
"Boss, there are crossbowmen on the beams, they are secret whistles..."
The boss muttered: "No, it's not the murderous intent brought by these secret whistles. Why do I always feel uneasy... I haven't felt this way for a long time."
"Boss, make a decision quickly, it's almost dawn!"
The boss pondered for a moment, and then decisively issued the killing mission, because tonight was the best time, and there were no masters around Li Ke tonight.
Both the Moh family and the Tiance Army went to the Southern Region.
"Let's go in from four directions. Be careful and don't alert the enemy. That famous Tang Dynasty general Li Jing is not an easy man. He is very insidious..."
