Chapter 121: People die for wealth, birds die for food
Jushu looked at these tomb robbers and couldn't help showing a little boredom in his eyes. Although these people were also miserable people, he didn't feel any guilt at all for killing those who disrespected their ancestors.
As the saying goes, if a general is incompetent, the three armies will be affected. These people are the backbone of the family. Once they die, the whole family will be separated. The next thing they will face may be selling their sons and daughters, or starving to death on the streets.
It was not a pity for these people to die, but their families were innocent. This is why Jushu gave gold to their families.
Zhao Yun glanced at Yuan Shu and saw Yuan Shu nodded, so he nodded in agreement.
Driven by gold, the ten people worked with unprecedented efficiency, digging through the ground as soon as dark on the third day.
"Sun Laohei, where is this?"
A man looked at the distant palaces through the sparse moonlight, and he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Fat Zhang, I advise you to keep your mouth shut. The more you know, the faster you will die. Cover it with sod, go back and get the gold and leave. Don't make any announcement."
Sun Tu's eyes were also shocked. There were so many palaces, but there was only one place in Luoyang City, and that was the Imperial Palace.
Who are these people?
who are they?
What on earth are they going to do?
Assassination or theft?
Questions were hanging in Sun Tu's mind.
If according to his previous personality, if he encountered such a weird thing, his first thought would be to escape, but as he was nearly fifty years old, he was really tired.
One hundred taels of gold was enough for him to live happily until death. It was this thought that drove him back to Hesheng Zhai.
People die for money, and birds die for food. Perhaps this is the ancient truth, and this group of people is destined to die for these one hundred taels of gold.
Ten tomb robbers came out of the cave one after another, and it was Sun Tu who replied to Yuan Shu.
"Gong Ji, please take someone to have it checked."
"promise."
Yan Liang directly drilled into the acupuncture point, walked to the entrance of the acupuncture point, moved away from the grass and saw the Hongnong Hall in the distance, and he immediately returned.
"Lord, that's right."
Yan Liang nodded to Yuan Shu.
"Okay, you can take your money and hit the road."
Yuan Shu nodded to the ten people.
Upon hearing Yuan Shu's words, ten tomb robbers rushed to the box containing the gold.
I couldn't wait to open the box, but this time there was no golden light and the box was empty.
Before the ten people could react, steel knives were placed on their necks and then pulled horizontally.
"Plop."
"Plop."
"Plop."
Ten corpses fell to the ground together, and bright red blood flowed all over the ground.
"Get dressed and get ready."
Yuan Shu was used to seeing huge scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and what he saw in front of him was simply playing house.
Each of the elites put on the equipment prepared by the Yuan family, including leather armor, iron shields, ring-head knives, and a hand crossbow hanging on their waist.
They are now waiting for the Yin time to arrive.
If everything goes well, the Flying Bear Army has already fallen asleep, and it will be easy to rescue the young emperor. If things go wrong, they will attack Hongnong Palace, and a fierce battle will follow.
Sometimes time flies by like a fleeting moment, and sometimes it flies by like a year.
Xu hour, Hai hour, Zi hour, Chou hour, one hour passed through everyone's mind, and finally Yin hour arrived.
"Yin hour has arrived, everyone is ready to set off in half an hour."
When Yin Shi arrived, the Fei Xiong Army responsible for guarding outside Hongnong Hall once again changed their guard. Sun Pi and Zhou Quan each led fifty people to station outside Hongnong Hall.
Just after the changing of the guard, Zeng Ke, the cook in charge of Hongnong Hall, pushed a small wooden cart and creaked towards this side.
"Zeng Ke, why are you here?"
When Zhou Quan saw Zeng Ke coming, his eyes were full of doubts.
"Sir, the weather is getting colder, so I made some cold soup for my family."
Zeng Ke saluted Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan looked at Zeng Ke and opened the big pot on the trolley with his hands.
Pieces of meat are floating on the surface of the soup. This is not a cold-warming soup, it is clearly a pot of fresh meat soup.
"You Zeng Ke, how dare you use it for public and private purposes? Aren't you afraid that the Prime Minister will find out and behead you?"
After hearing Zhou Quan's words, Sun Pi on the side also came over.
"Zeng Ke, tell me how you should be dealt with."
Looking at the pieces of meat in the pot, Sun Pi couldn't help but lick his mouth.
"Two generals, my family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Please take pity on the little old man."
As Zeng Ke said this, he took out a gourd from his arms and pulled out the stopper.
A strong aroma hit Zhou Quan and Sun Pi's nose. This smell was wine, and it was good wine.
"Good wine?"
Zhou Quan grabbed the wine gourd and started pouring wine into his mouth.
"Save some for me."
Seeing Zhou Quan drinking happily, Sun Pi couldn't help it anymore. He reached out to grab the gourd and drank it in one gulp.
"Zeng Ke, for the sake of the good wine you got this time, we don't have to report it to the prime minister, but we will share the pot of meat."
Zhou Quan ignored Zeng Ke and pushed the cart directly towards Hongnong Hall.
"Brothers, come over and eat meat, drink some soup, and warm yourself up."
Sun Pi grabbed the wine gourd and drank the wine while calling the escorting flying bear army to come over and eat meat.
When they heard that there was meat to eat, these Flying Bear Army didn't care about Hongnong Palace. They all came to Zhou Quan, pulled out their knives, stuck the tip of the knife into a large piece of fat, and ate happily.
Seeing the Fei Xiong Army snatching at his own broth like hungry dogs, Zeng Ke's eyes showed a hint of relief. He was a craftsman bribed by the Yuan family.
This time the Yuan family promised him that as long as he could defeat the Flying Bear Army with medicine, he would be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. Now it seems that the money is already in his hands.
Time passed by minute by minute, and a quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"Sun Pi, this old man Zeng is really drunk. Why am I still feeling dizzy? If not, you can stay with me and go get some sleep first."
Zhou Quan said and walked away, but after taking a few steps, he fell to the ground with a plop, and then heard a thunderous snoring sound.
Zhou Quan spoke, but Sun Pi was actually a little dizzy. He shook his head and continued to patrol, but he fell to the ground with a thud before taking two steps.
Not only Sun Pi and Zhou Quan, but also the one hundred Flying Bear Army soldiers responsible for guarding Hongnong Palace fell to the ground one after another and fell asleep.
"It's done, hahahaha, it's done."
Old Man Zeng looked at the Flying Bear Army lying on the ground like dead pigs, with a hint of ecstasy on his face.
"Set off."
When the time came, Yuan Shu directly ordered his men to set off. Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou each led their soldiers through two tunnels and headed towards the palace.
"why are you laughing?"
Just when Zeng Ke was excited, a deep voice sounded behind him.
Feeling movement behind him and looking at the shadow cast in front of him, Zeng Ke suddenly trembled and slowly turned his head.
"General Lu will be general."
I saw that the person who came was about one foot tall. He was wearing a soap gauze corner cluster flower scarf, a purple embroidered dragon cloud shoulder robe, an exquisite jade ribbon ring tied around his waist, and a pair of gold threads on his feet smeared with green soap.
boots.
This man is the flying general Wen Hou Lu Bu Lu Fengxian who is known as the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms.
