Chapter 553 Secret talk in the tomb

Ning Ze insisted, Pei Ji really had no choice.

Without Ning Ze's "bird demon", I can't even go back.

There was no choice but to compromise, followed behind honestly, and walked deeper through the soldier's stone statue.

The light of the palace lanterns illuminates the tomb. I don’t know how many years have passed, and it is full of dust. Except for the sound of the two of them, everything is silent.

Pei Ji always felt that it was gloomy inside, for fear that a ghost would pop up somewhere, so he tried to follow Ning Ze and did not dare to separate too far.

Entering the passage inside, there is another separate hall, which is quite empty, with carved beams and painted columns, which is particularly gorgeous.

There were countless skeletons standing in the middle of the hall, all wearing armor, mixed with skeletons similar to war horses and decaying carriages.

Pei Ji felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this. It was obvious that the owner of the tomb did not use Terracotta Warriors to accompany him to bury him, but instead buried him with a living person to protect the tomb.

"Be careful!" Ning Ze reminded him, preventing him from stepping on the brick above the side, "That's a trap, please avoid it."

"How did the prince know?" Pei Ji didn't pay attention to his feet and asked curiously when he heard this.

Ning Ze naturally would not tell the other party that the trap distribution map can be seen through the virtual map, just like the battlefield, and the specific location of the trap set will appear: "I have my own way! In short, if you don't want to die, follow me, don't go astray."

Pei Ji had no other choice except to believe in Ning Ze.

So I didn't ask any more questions, followed Ning Ze honestly around the side with irregular routes, abandoning the simplest and most direct middle passage, and spending more time to arrive opposite.

"There are many traps in the tomb, so you can't relax for a moment!" Ning Ze whispered and continued to lead the way while playing the palace lanterns.

Pei Ji didn't want something to happen in the tomb, so he stepped on Ning Ze's footprints and did not dare to make any mistakes.

In fact, the more I went inside, the more I was worried that Ning Ze would take advantage of the opportunity of being alone to solve himself secretly. After all, the camps of both sides were different. Unexpectedly, Ning Ze reminded himself to be careful of the trap. He obviously let himself die in the tomb trap and no one else could say anything, after all, he insisted on following him.

Perhaps the other party doesn’t take him seriously at all, and there is no need to eliminate dissidents at this time?

Yes, as strong as Ning Ze, no matter how powerful he is, he will not pose any threat to him.

This idea made Pei Ji a little pessimistic and depressed.

One in front and the other behind, the two passed through the hall soon, and there was another passage inside, which was also covered with mechanisms.

If the others had died countless times, they had lost their effect in front of Ning Ze. They could bypass everything they could bypass, and used bows and arrows to destroy them from a distance, and successfully reached the end.

There was an intersection behind the passage, and Ning Ze stopped and thought carefully.

"Prince, why don't you leave?" Pei Ji stopped and asked in a low voice.

"Rong Gu thought about it!" Ning Ze carefully checked the virtual map while speaking.

"This is the corridor, go forward and go to the main room!" Pei Ji pointed to the passage directly in front and whispered.

"Of course I know," Ning Ze nodded, "I will really disturb the owner of the tomb further inside. Let's go to the ear room next to me to take a look."

When Pei Ji heard this, he frowned.

The ear chamber is a place where the owner of the tomb has his life supplies and burial objects. Ning Ze clearly wants to move these things: "Prince, isn't this good? It's better not to touch the burial objects casually, it's unlucky!"

"General Pei thinks, will I care about these things?" Ning Ze turned around and asked, "Tell you that this practice of burying a large amount of treasure resources with you is actually not advisable. It is equivalent to burying part of human wealth forever. What is the meaning of it? People cannot use it when they die. It is better to take it out and do something meaningful, such as benefiting the people. Are you worried that I will swallow it all by myself? Don't worry! Those who see me have a share, and the tomb is in Minjiang County. The spoils will definitely be divided into half of the general. You can get back to pay for the job!"

"..." Pei Ji faced Ning Ze, not knowing what to say.

Since there is no way to deal with Ning Ze, I can only continue to follow.

The two of them went to the left ear chamber first, and there were many mechanisms, so they tried to avoid it.

After entering, I found that this place was a treasure house, with many ancient royal clothing, jewelry and various items I had seen or never seen before, and even parchment paper with words, various bamboo slips, jade slips and even rare antiques.

Everything is well preserved, although it is covered with a thick layer of gray.

Clothing, bamboo slips, parchment, etc., seems to have undergone special anti-corrosion, insect prevention and other processes, and it is still complete after many years.

The first time Pei Ji saw so many treasures, his eyes were straightened. He even subconsciously swallowed and his body trembled slightly.

Ning Ze realized this and asked with a smile: "It's the first time General Pei has seen so many treasures? It's rare to find a royal tomb that is well preserved and not stolen! Just take out one of them here and it's rare to get out, and the price is extremely high. The ear chamber on the right should be full of gold, silver and jewelry. Even if it's only half, it's a huge fortune to be filled into the treasury, which can support the operation of the entire country for a long time. If it's a personal collection, it's a wealth that can be directly a rival to the country. Otherwise, all the treasures will be divided into two halves according to what the orphan said before, one half will be taken away by the general, and the other half will be taken away. The general can claim to the outside world that the orphan will eat away the treasures in the tomb and then secretly transport them away half of yours without reporting."

Pei Ji's throat moved a few times, and two voices in his mind kept arguing, and he was having a fierce psychological struggle.

The temptation of wealth that can rival the country is that even the generals who are loyal to Ma Jian will be shaken. Especially this discovery can be blocked and the news cannot be spread. As long as Ning Ze shuts up, Pei Ji is confident that all his subordinates will shut up, and others will not even know about this tomb.

"General Pei, why is a real man making achievements? It's not just status, right?" Ning Ze's voice seemed like a devil, and he whispered from the side, "With these wealth, even if he loses power and leaves Ma Jian one day, he can still live a good life, and even let his descendants receive blessings and enjoy wealth forever! If he takes half of them alone, he will naturally not reveal them, especially Ma Jian will not know. Besides, you and me are the only ones here. If you don't say anything at that time, it will be known to heaven and earth, you and I know!"

In the fierce ideological struggle, Pei Ji had just gained the upper hand for Nan Cheng and his conscience, but was instantly defeated by Ning Ze's words. After staring at the other party for a long time, he finally said a few words: "How to hide it if you want to get the treasure?"

What he meant was that if you want to take so many treasures, how can Ning Ze and himself do it alone? If you take these treasures, you will definitely need your subordinates to enter the tomb for transportation. Because it collapsed outside, you can only start construction from other places and dig out a new passage. Moreover, all so many treasures will be transported out, and it will be a huge team that will not be hidden at all, and it will definitely attract attention.

Seeing that he was moved, Ning Ze whispered: "Gou put away all the treasures for the time being without leaving any trace."

While speaking, he directly put a treasure in front of Pei Ji in front of him into the famous carriage column.

Pei Ji's eyes moved, thinking it was right! Ning Ze knew magic. If he took all these treasures, he should be aware of heaven and earth, you know me. But then he thought, what if Ning Ze went out and went back on his word and chose to take these treasures alone?

Ning Ze understood his eyes and said with a smile: "Is the general worried about swallowing the treasure alone?"

"If you leave here, the prince wants to take it alone, there is nothing I can do!" Pei Ji replied, "With his strength, even if he is strong, he will not be a match for the prince."

"Don't worry, General!" Ning Ze placed the palace lantern next to the stone platform, reached out to wrap his hand around Pei Ji's shoulder, "Gu Xiang kept his word."

Pei Ji glanced at him and thought it was strange! Everyone in the world knew that the Danyang King was very tricky and good at lying: "Do you dare to swear?"

The ancients believed in oaths and generally did not swear easily, because they believed that violating the oath would result in retribution and the consequences would be very miserable.

Ning Ze didn't believe this, and at the same time he felt guilty, he said in front of Pei Ji: "Since the general said that, I will make a vow! If you take away the treasures yourself after you go out, you will be struck by lightning!"

Seeing him swearing seriously, Pei Ji believed it a little, but was still a little uneasy and had some concerns: "Even if the prince abides by his oath and handes half of his treasure to him after he goes out, it will be difficult to deal with it at that time, and he will not be able to hide it from everyone. Otherwise... forget it! The prince simply takes half of it and keeps the rest first. Wait until he reports to His Majesty, and send someone to come here..."

"General is willing to give up?" Ning Ze asked with a smile.

"So what if I'm reluctant to give up?" Pei Ji was very confused. He could really take it alone, so how could he be willing to hand it over? But he was scared! So many treasures wanted to be transported home, and passed countless counties, counties, villages and towns along the way, which would definitely attract attention. Once Ma Jian knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ning Ze saw Pei Ji's entanglement and guessed that he was always indifferent. He smiled and said to him: "The general's concern is not enough! After going out, he can secretly send his trusted people to contact a trustworthy person to come quickly. It is not necessary to transport the treasure home, find a remote mountain nearby, or buy a warehouse nearby, and leave the team, place half of the treasure in it alone, and then the trusted person guards it, and summon his family to move here. Who knows? There is no need to teach you what happened next?"

Pei Ji was quite shocked and thought that this could still be done? But it sounds really good!

Then he thought, Ning Ze would be so kind-hearted? He frowned at him: "The prince is so generous and still designs for him. I'm afraid he is not that simple? Do you want to use it?"

Ning Ze laughed: "When the general was not yet joining Nancheng, the Huajun Conference showed his charm. It's a pity that he left alone, which is a pity!"

"The prince wants to win over me and use these treasures to buy me?" Pei Ji frowned, "I'm sorry! Since I have defected to Nancheng, I will not surrender to the enemy! If the prince is making this idea, I'd better give up as soon as possible!"

"The general misunderstood the Lone!" Ning Ze smiled, "It would be best if he could recruit the general. The general was unwilling, and the Lone would not force him. He just wanted to establish a good relationship with the general. In the future, the two countries would fight, and no matter which side wins, they hope that the general would be thinking about this love."
