After watching the corpse robbery, everyone returned to the front yard from the business hall and said goodbye one after another. Ge Da and Mao Ye had a place to stay in Songjiang Town, so there was no need to worry about them. Yue and Song returned to the Liyuan Guild Hall.
When Lou Yunxian saw them entering the small building, he quickly asked Xiang Yue Guanchao: "What did the court say?"
Yue Guanchao and Damajindao sat in the chair and took a sip of tea:
"In a few days, they will prepare everything and we will have to go into the mountains. This Chao Wenshun also found two helpers. I feel more like surveillance, afraid that we will run away."
"That's true, the Chao family not only monitors you, but also keeps the troupe behind."
Lou Wenliang's words made Song Siyuan very curious. Seeing that the two of them didn't know the situation, he quickly explained:
"As soon as you left, you came back towards the family, saying that the old man likes to listen to the opera and let us sing for seven more days."
"Originally, we had to set off after the concert, but now that the family has persuaded us to stay, we can only stay for a few more days."
"If you really like to listen to the opera, you should have agreed on a longer time when you invited me in the first place, so that the theater troupe can schedule it easily. The sudden withdrawal is obviously to use us as hostages."
"Now, seventy or eighty people are in Songjiang Town. They can't escape and can only stay here temporarily."
Lou Yunxian glanced at the table:
"They even sent us a deposit, which shows that they are determined to take us as hostages."
Song Siyuan rolled her eyes and looked at everyone:
"Chao Wenshun, this old fox, is quite cautious. We can only leave safely by taking out the treasures from the mausoleum."
"You don't have to go to the grave, just wait for us to return safely."
When Yue Guanchao was talking, he looked out the window. The upstairs window had an unobstructed view of the side yard.
A juggling troupe used to live here, and it was very lively when they left. Now when they came back, they found that the courtyard was empty and they had already left.
Such a coincidence, leaving before they come back?
Yue Guanchao rolled his eyes, already guessing what was going on. He squinted his eyes and looked at the empty courtyard. It didn't matter who these people were, as long as they were not robbing their tombs, they would love whomever and whatever they wanted!
Two days passed in a hurry.
The Chao family was from a wealthy Songjiang family, so it was not difficult to prepare tomb robbing tools. However, they had already gathered all the necessary tools in two days.
When Yue Guanchao arrived at the imperial court compound, two carriages were parked in the wide square behind the screen wall.
The carriage is wide, the horses are fat, the wheels are huge, and there are several large boxes tied to the back of the carriage, which shows that a lot of thought was put into it.
Yue Guanchao opened the box, and inside there were Luoyang shovels for digging kilns, flying tiger claws, corpse binding ropes, flashlights and coal lamps, oilcloth felts, flint and explosives, all of which filled several boxes.
Chao Wenshun touched the merchant's flag behind the carriage and looked at Yue and Song:
"There are a lot of treasures in the Haidong Imperial Tomb. If you want to pull down all the treasures, you will need at least thirty or fifty people. But it is quite eye-catching for so many people to enter the mountain. I only brought four servants to you."
"This time you are going to pretend to be merchants who go into the mountains to collect goods. You will rest in Huangwei Village first. Then Geda will take you deep into the mountains. When you dig up the tomb, our people will send a signal to the bottom of the mountain."
"The Chao family has rules for servants to patrol the mountains. When the time comes, we will go into the mountains to help on the pretext of normal mountain patrols."
"You must remember this plan."
Yue Guanchao nodded: "Don't worry, we understand this rule."
The chariots and horses are all ready, and the entourage is in line.
Yue Guanchao rode on his fat horse and led Geda and the others out of Songjiang Town and towards the deep mountains of Changbai.
Songjiang Town is located fifty miles west of Baiyun Peak. The entire plain is covered with dense forests, running water, and deep vegetation. The colorful autumn scenery makes the mountain have four seasons and different weather conditions ten miles away, and you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery.
When the carriage entered the central ravine, everyone stood on the hill and looked at the plain. They saw another scenery.
I saw the Songhe plain undulating forward, like a faded luxurious brocade robe. The color became lighter as we went deeper into the mountains, and finally it was covered with silvery white snow, and the branches were covered with rime and frost.
"This is close to Changbaitian Pond and not far from Qingniu Au."
Yue Guanchao followed his bow and arrow and looked behind him. Tianchi towered in front of him like a beacon tower. Thousands of frozen peaks for thousands of miles were like a vast ocean of ice. The sky was so upside down that it was impossible to distinguish the glacier from the blue sky.
"Xu~"
Geda whistled towards the sky, and suddenly the desolate eagle call came from the blue sky, and a half-arm-high golden-backed eagle flew towards him with its wings spread like a fan.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Brother Jin, you came all the way to pick me up, my love for you is not in vain."
Geda picked up the dried meat in his pocket and teased the falcon standing on his arm. The falcon flapped its wings and raised its head to swallow the meat strips.
Yue Guanchao looked at the falcon and had to say that this eagle was beautiful enough!
The whole body is half as high as an arm, the tail is like a fan, the body is wide and fat, the head is white and the tail is black, and the middle is covered with thick black and gray eagle feathers. The hook is yellow and the beak is pointed downward. The claws are very sharp and the yellow armor is very sharp. The back cover is With burnt golden spots, it looks like wearing a golden cloak.
The so-called golden back comes from this.
If you look closely, you will see that the round eagle eyes are sharp and shiny. They are always alert to the dangers around them. They must be a good assistant for hunting.
When he saw this eagle, he was so greedy that his mouth watered!
