Although Lan Shu's voice was low, it was still heard by many people nearby.
"Chief Lan, what on earth is going on?" A group of people came closer and asked, pinching their noses.
Lan Shu's eyes fell silent, and she only respectfully apologized: "I'm sorry to disturb your lords' pleasure. It's getting late. Lan Shu will take you down the mountain."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. It took more than half an hour to climb to this quarter of the mountain. We could barely reach the bottom of the mountain. Everyone was still in high spirits, so how could we rush away the guests?
Are you kidding them?
"Once you go up to the Holy Mountain, there is no reason to go down the mountain without paying homage to the tombs. This is disrespectful to the Heavenly Family. Chief Lan is so arbitrary. Could it be that he really regards this place as his own base? If there is no explanation for what happened today, I
We must go to the Imperial Palace to fight for a clear outcome!"
Lan Shu repeatedly said "I don't dare", but still insisted on asking them to leave. Immediately, many people turned cold and stared at him without saying a word.
The two parties reached a stalemate.
Cao Yanhua was dressed in common clothes and followed the team. Because he was just a scavenger from the eighth grade, Lan made an appointment, so he had to accept the appointment due to his low status. But after working hard for a long time, he couldn't get into the small pavilion, so he had to find a tree.
Lean back and rest.
It was just that the position was close to the stone steps, and I was stupefied by the stench. I was about to run away, but suddenly I remembered what I had heard in front of the emperor. I slapped my thigh, pointed at Lan Shu and yelled in anger.
"Bold Lan Shu! This smell is clearly a warning that the entrance to the imperial mausoleum has been opened. Your Lan family did not protect you well enough and let someone secretly open the imperial mausoleum! You also want to trick me into waiting for me to go down the mountain!"
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
You can see that Lan Shu's face is serious, so what Cao Yanhua said is definitely true.
The imperial tombs are dotted all over the mountain, and there are only about fifty people in the Lan clan, so naturally they cannot take care of them one by one.
The situation in this valley is strange. The mountain wind from top to bottom will reach the lower areas. At this time, the smell may also spread to the garden.
It's a good way to give a warning.
Cui Quan stood up first, and without waiting for Lan Shu's explanation, he stepped onto the stone steps and headed towards the back of the mountain.
Lan Shu also didn't expect that the Cui clan would be so direct. By the time he recovered his senses and chased after them, he had already missed the best opportunity to stop everyone.
In front of the late emperor's mausoleum, a stinky wind blew in his face. Cui Quan looked angry, pointed at Lan Shu who was chasing him and cursed: "How on earth did your Lan family guard the imperial mausoleum?! Let thieves sneak in under your noses!"
Lan Shu was followed by a group of people from Wuyangyang. Due to the limited position, he couldn't see clearly what was going on. He just stood in the distance, trying to avoid the fishy smell, and reluctantly stretched his neck to see what was going on.
Before Lan Shu could argue, Cui Quan took a few steps closer to him. Only then did everyone see clearly that behind Cui Quan, there was a large black hole on the Wanshou wall of the late emperor's mausoleum. The stench certainly came from this.
Someone stole the tomb.
Lan Shu had a pale face and said anxiously: "It's Lan Shu's or not. According to the smell, this hole should have just been dug not long ago, and the thief must still be inside. The top priority is to capture the thief first. Then the saint and all your lords will
If you want to kill or punish, Lan Shu will let you do whatever you want!"
The words were sincere, Cui Quan thought about it, and this is indeed the best way at the moment.
"Other than that, I will definitely report it to the Holy One and leave it to the Holy One to make a decision!"
"I don't dare to deceive the saint," Lan Shu bowed her head respectfully: "But if there is really a thief hiding in the tomb, for the safety of all of you, it would be better to leave first."
"Chief Lan has been trying to get us to leave since just now. If you think about it carefully, the imperial mausoleum on the Holy Mountain is heavily guarded. How could a tomb robber suddenly appear? Could it be that you were guarding the tomb, and we caught it?
"Some people were dissatisfied, holding their noses and shaking their heads.
Lan Shu's teeth clenched tightly. These old bastards in the court were accustomed to retorting in advance and blaming all the faults on others. In the past, he gritted his teeth in hatred for what these people did.
But today it happens that if we want to perform this play well, they are indispensable guests on stage.
"My lords, please retreat to the viewing platform. Lan Shu will find some clan members to guard this place and will ensure your lords' safety."
Lan Shu thought carefully, and naturally he could not set foot in the emperor's mausoleum at will. Now he can only use this tactic of waiting for the rabbit. The Lan family is looking for people to guard the only way to leave, and catch turtles in the jar. However, the courtiers do not trust Lan Shu at the moment, in order to avoid being implicated.
As for what happened today, I will naturally stay here until the thief is caught.
Everything goes as planned.
When Lan Shu saw everyone leaving, he was left at the end. He looked at the dark hole, as if he was looking at a dead sore that was about to be gouged out with a sharp knife. A trace of excited flush appeared on his gray face, which added a bit of excitement.
Weird.
After today, this plan is only half completed.
Lan Shu turned around leisurely and planned to follow the people in front of him. Suddenly, a loud noise came from all directions, passing through every mountain crevice and forest gap. Dust flew and rocks shook, and the world was dark. Lan Shu couldn't even use his five fingers.
It was impossible to tell, and one could only hear the yellow sand filling the sky, mixed with the exclamations of countless courtiers, rushing towards Lan Shu like a tidal wave.
After a while, the chaos calmed down.
Lan Shu held on to her body, which was reaching its limit, and stumbled towards the observation deck where the exclamation came from.
A layer of brocade was shaken down on the viewing platform, and the silk brocade was still moaning to itself. Lan Shu didn't care so much, she just had a sullen face, stood on tiptoes to avoid people as much as possible, and stared at the bottom of the mountain.
"Did...the earth dragon turn over?" A court official managed to pull out the sleeves of his robe and stood up holding on to his hat.
"Look! It's a canyon!"
The brown smoke is about to subside, and the canyon seems different from the one when we climbed up and looked into the distance.
The people at the bottom of the mountain were like ants. Some people were obviously seriously injured. They were struggling on the ground holding their wounds, with their feet in the air. Others gathered towards the canyon because of the earthquake just now. And some, stop.
He was standing there, as if he was bending down to pick something up.
"What the hell is going on!?" A group of people were talking all over the place, dragging Lan Shu away.
Lan Shu stood there, her lips moving but unable to make a sound. She looked like an imp who had randomly painted a layer of white paint on the side of the temple platform. Many of the original colors of the mud showed through the uneven white color.
But Cui Quan was still calm: "What are you yelling about? Why don't you come down from the mountain to protect me?"
Only then did everyone come to their senses, and supported each other and headed down the mountain.
Lan Shu suddenly came back to her senses and wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
Fortunately, there were still people from the Lan clan guarding the garden at the foot of the mountain. If we could catch Yu Qiansi who was coming down the mountain at that time, although it would not be as easy as catching him now, there would still be some room for maneuver.
Only after they got down the mountain and passed through the garden did they understand what the people just now were picking up.
There were fragments of porcelain, gold, and some copper coins all over the floor.
Cui Quan picked up a copper coin and wrote "Hechang Tongbao".
"Hechang" is the reign name of the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away, the imperial court specially cast a batch of new treasures and placed them in the mausoleum.
Could it be the thief just now?
The group of people no longer cared about shouting at Lan Shu and headed towards the canyon in a hurry.
After walking a few steps, the door to the small courtyard on one side was opened, and Su Niang helped a woman buy it out.
"What happened?" Yu Qiansi's breath was weak and her face was pale. She was leaning on Su Niang's shoulder, looking at the hurried group of people with confusion.
