"Meng De is ready, be careful of fraud!" Liu Bei shouted anxiously.

"Yes!" Cao Cao pulled out his sword and walked in sideways.

"Protect the Confessional." Yang Fengyi drew his sword in his hand. When the surrounding knights heard this, they all jumped into the stream and surrounded Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao also took the sword in his hand, and Liu Bei and his two righteous brothers broke the rear.

The thief cave was deep and dark. The ranger leading the way picked up a torch discarded by the tomb robber and lit it with flint. Everyone wades in the water. Suddenly, a shout in front of him: "Stop!"

"Can you see something, Meng De?" Yuan Shao asked in the middle of the queue.

"There is a cliff in front of me. There are rocks hanging above my head, and there seems to be a golden platform under my feet. But it is at a low point, and it can be seen vaguely." Cao Cao spoke quickly.

"Let's wait for me." Yuan Shao also picked up a torch, and Yuan Shu was around him lit it. Naihe Cave was just scattered in the spot. The fire was weak and useless.

"Get the torch quickly." As soon as Yang Feng finished speaking, several rangers turned around and came out of the hole.

Liu Bei reached out to support the top of the cave. The soil layer was dry and it shouldn't collapse for a while. Then he felt relieved. Facing the entrance, he waited patiently without mentioning it.

"When will the torch arrive?" Cao Cao seemed to be unable to wait.

"This place is about five miles away from the camp. It takes one stick of incense to go back and forth." Yang Feng replied.

"I can't wait. Give me some use first."

"Okay!" Yuan Shao handed the torch in his hand to Yang Feng in front of him. Everyone took over and passed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao raised the fire in his hand and shook it back and forth several times. Then he reached out and threw the torch towards the golden platform at the low place.

Fear! The torch fell to the ground in response, and a sporadic cluster of fire spread out.

The golden platform is not high and not far.

"Wait for me!" Cao Cao jumped and landed steadily on the stage. He picked up the torch and carefully identified the stone platform under his feet. He walked around and lit the brazier with four corners.

It's bright in the cave.

The appearance of the entire underground cave came into view.

The mountain and stones above the head are surrounded by bricks, and the platform is built into walls. The platform is located in the middle, surrounded by green water on all sides. The shape of the entire cave is very similar to the round kiln used by Liu Bei to burn three-legged buoy cauldron when he was young. It is a regular dome structure.

However, there is only a secret room and no gold is seen.

The platform is about two feet high from the thief hole. At this height, just jump off.

When Liu Bei and the other two finally jumped off. Cao Cao, who went down first, had already discovered clues: "This platform is where Liang Ji piled up gold and formed a mountain."

Yang Feng scraped a pinch of gold powder from his feet: "It's a pity that someone took the lead."

Yuan Shao also wiped away the gold powder at his fingertips and sighed: "It's a pity that he failed to see Liangji Jinshan with his own eyes."

"How did the thief leave?" After looking around, Liu Bei asked.

"Look at Xuande." Cao Cao knelt on one knee, pointing to the brick wall opposite.

Liu Bei looked with the flow and saw an arched sewer culvert. The distance between the water surface of the culvert from the dome was just enough to accommodate a small boat.

"I'll go." Then a ranger wanted to go into the water to explore.

Cao Cao shook his head: "The cryptana channel connects the inside and outside, and there must be mechanisms in the water."

"If you move a boat, I'm afraid the thieves have fled far away and there is no trace to find." Yang Feng said again.

"Can there be dyes in the camp?" Liu Bei asked suddenly.

"I have bought it for the Biao Ranji Ju flag." Yang Feng replied.

"Take it all." Cao Cao also understood.

Yang ordered people to take the dye and hand it over to Cao Cao to sprinkle it evenly in the water.

Seeing a long ribbon flowing into the crypt. Without everyone's orders, Yang Feng sent all the goons in Tuyuan. He rode his horse around Tuyuan and closely followed the waterways leading to the garden.

Sprinkle a large bag of dye into the water. Cao Cao suddenly shook his head and chuckled.

"When I entered the treasure mountain, I returned in vain. Why did Meng De laugh?" Yuan Shao asked.

"After hearing about Liangji Jinshan, Cao couldn't help but recall all the things happening to him. On a whim, Menglang lost his manners, which made you laugh." Cao Cao bowed.

"It's okay." Liu Bei smiled and said, "Everyone has a curious heart. How can we avoid the vulgarity?"

Cao Cao sighed: "I remember that back then, Cao had a long talk with his close friends all night. All of them were unofficial history and interesting stories of the previous dynasty. Liangji Jinshan was in it. It was as if people were separated today, and I couldn't sigh."

"But the strong marquis?" Yuan Shao knew Cao Cao very well.

"That's right." Cao Cao cheered up and said, "I think the ranger will gain something, so let's go and watch it."

The river water in the garden flows down the cave and flows into the dark pool. A waterfall is formed above everyone's heads. It is easy to jump down, but it is difficult to climb up again.

Fortunately, Shi Huan led the embroidered yarn guard to arrive after hearing the news. He threw down his flying claws. Everyone climbed the rope and returned the same way.

Everyone calmed down their feelings and returned to the camp and barbecue.

Soon, a raider came to report that the water came out of the dark cave in Yique Mountains and flowed into Yishui, but disappeared. Xu Huang and others had rented a fisherman's boat and walked backwards into the cave to find clues.

Yique Mountain is located in the southwest of Luoyang City. Here, two mountains stand together, shaped like a gate. Yi River flows through it, like a long dragon passing through the door. Later generations are also called "Longmen". The Longmen Grottoes have not been built yet. At this time, the pines and cypresses are lush and rarely visited. It is suitable for setting up a cryptana exit.

Silently, they finished the barbecue silently. They saw Yang Feng, who left the seat first and went out to pick him up, walked over with a skin bag in his hand and strode with joy on his face.

"The thief is still a secret." He took off his boots and threw his skin on the table.

The best deer leather bag is exquisitely made. Cao Cao untied his straps and suddenly shone with golden light.

It's full of gold powder!

Yuan Shao took the hand and couldn't help but feel happy: "It's about twenty kilograms."

"How much does it cost?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Gold powder is several times more than golden cakes. Twenty pounds are worth millions of dollars." Yuan Shumenqing.

When recalling the size of the cave golden platform, everyone was amazed. The golden mountain was moved away by the thief, more than a billion!

"No wonder Liang Ji sold all the gold utensils into gold powder." Liu Bei understood. Compared with the high-priced antique utensils in later generations, gold powder is now at a higher price and is better to take action. The wealthy families like to use gold powder to decorate their families. Gold powder is also a precious elixir recipe, and a small amount of gold powder can be used directly as medicine. The price is several times that of real gold.

“Where did you get this bag?”

"So he sank in the underground hike. Xu Huang and others took a boat to enter, and the boat pole was lucky enough to click on the bag. They noticed something was wrong underwater, so they were taken out by Xu Huang."

"It must be that the thief was overjoyed after he succeeded, made mistakes in his busy schedule, and even fell into the water. Or it was full of light and heavy loads, accumulated too much, or even slipped into the water, which was unknown." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

Cao Cao turned his attention to the waterproof leather bag: "This thing is very exquisite. It is sewn with deer skin. Just imagine, if you need to empty a mountain of gold, you need so many bags! The thief just makes a bag, which is a considerable expense. Some merchants in Luoyang must recognize the origin of this bag."

"It's reasonable." Yuan Shao nodded happily: "It's not easy to move such a mountain of gold, and it's even harder to take action. I expected that if a large amount of gold powder suddenly appears on the market, it will be a thief who sells the stolen goods!"

"There are four cities in Luoyang, where can I start?" Yuan Shu peeked at Liu Bei. By the way, he did not dare to include Liu Bei's small market in Jinshui.
