The Happy Journey of the Bright Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 142 Conspiracy calculation
In the blink of an eye, three more days passed.

Li Chen searched most places in Yiling, but still found nothing.

Think about it too, after all, this place was looted by the Qin army and burned once, even if there were clues on the surface, it would have been destroyed long ago.

Li Chen planned to search for another night, and if there was no result, he would go back to Zaiying.

Not far from the inn where Li Chen lived, there was a butcher shop, and the owner was a fat and strong man.

At this time, in front of the meat stall, a man in his 40s who looked like a woodcutter stopped.

The man looked around, found no one, and said in a low voice, "Li Chen, the sure-to-kill target of the net, has appeared here, do we need to do something?"

The butcher cut a piece of meat with a knife and asked, "Are you sure? Where have you seen him?"

The woodcutter nodded and said, "Sure! He seems to have entered the forbidden area of ​​Yiling in search of something. I have seen him come out of there for two consecutive mornings. Now he lives in an inn not far away."

The butcher shop owner shook his head and said, "There is news from above that the tasks of Li Chen and others have been suspended. With our current number of people, it is difficult to accomplish anything."

Yiling was the mausoleum of the former kings of Chu, and Luo Wang never let go of the monitoring here.

But it was only under surveillance, so not enough manpower was invested.

It's enough to deal with ordinary people and collect intelligence information, but it's not enough to deal with a powerful master like Li Chen who can kill the first-class killers in Luowangtianzi.

The man who looked like a woodcutter sighed, and asked unwillingly, "Is this the way to go? This is an opportunity that came so hard."

The butcher shop owner sneered: "Of course it's impossible to let it go like this. We are not strong enough. But don't forget that Yiling is the mausoleum of the former kings of Chu. If an outsider enters at will, what will happen if someone finds out?"

The woodcutter was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses: "What do you mean, borrow the power of the soldiers guarding the mausoleum?"

The butcher shop owner smiled: "You know, there are more than [-] soldiers guarding the tomb here. With such strength, why do we need to do it ourselves?"

The woodcutter also laughed when he heard the words: "It's true, with the help of the tomb guards, even if we fail, Li Chen won't be able to catch us.

The only question is, how do we bring in the mausoleum guards? "

"You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own solution." The butcher shop owner waved his hand and said calmly.

Then, he threw a piece of meat over and shouted loudly, "Five coins."

The woodcutter nodded, felt in his arms, took out five cloth coins, put them on the table, then picked up the meat thrown by the butcher shop owner, turned and walked towards the end of the street.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a simple transaction, there is nothing strange about it, except that it took a little longer.

Li Chen didn't know that someone was plotting against him at this time. After returning to the inn, he simply ate something and began to lie down and sleep.

In fact, with Li Chen's current strength, even if he doesn't sleep for a few nights, he can get rid of fatigue as long as he meditates a little.

But Li Chen still likes to eat and sleep on time. In Li Chen's cognition, eating and sleeping are necessary for a person's life. If one day he no longer needs to eat and sleep, he may not be called a human being.

After sleeping until evening, I got up and ate something briefly, and then I started to stroll on the street again.

Most of the people here are the descendants who were once sent to Yiling to guard the mausoleum of the royal family, and gradually took root here.

As the population grew slowly, some merchants also came here, gradually forming a market.

Take a walk in the market and see the customs of this place.

It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened and the shops in the market gradually closed that Li Chen wandered back to the inn again.

In the early hours of the morning, Li Chen put on his night clothes again and left the inn.

Tonight is the last night of Li Chen's stay here, and Li Chen doesn't plan to search around.

Instead, I intend to carefully explore the more famous emperors of the Chu Kingdom throughout the ages, such as King Chu Zhuang, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Chu Zhao, the leader of ZTE, and King Huai of Chu who died in a foreign land.

After spending half the night, Li Chen finally found something.

On an unnamed tombstone not far from the mausoleum of King Chuzhuang, there are recorded some conjectures about King Chuzhuang's aspiration for the crown and King Yu Jiuding.

But that's all there is, no more information.

Li Chen shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Yuwang Jiuding also has some secrets, but unfortunately, now Yuwang Jiuding has disappeared. It is rumored that the first emperor Yingzheng also sent people to salvage after the unification, but in the end there was no result."

Li Chen shook his head again and put his mind back, but this trip still had no results.

He simply stopped investigating, turned around and walked outside, planning to go back to the inn first, and return to Zaiying after Tianming checked out the room.

As soon as he came to the periphery, Li Chen noticed something was wrong.

After a few days, Li Chen has figured out the rules of these tomb guards.

There are patrols throughout the night, though not that carefully.

But now, the entire Yiling Mountain is peaceful, without any light or sound.

Li Chen thought for a while, blended his figure into the darkness, and slowly moved outside.

When approaching the exit, Li Chen stopped. Although it looked very quiet here, Li Chen still heard a lot of suppressed breathing.

There is an ambush!
Li Chen understood his situation in an instant, but Li Chen was not in a panic.

It was easy for Li Chen to break through such an encirclement.

But Li Chen still wanted to find out who was plotting against him. You must know that he didn't tell anyone about coming here.

After thinking about it, Li Chen turned around and walked to the depths. After a while, he came to a place about one mile away from the place where he found the ambush.

He took out a bucket of kerosene from the storage ring and sprinkled it around, and with a guilty plea in his heart, he ignited the kerosene.

In just a cup of tea, the fire spread, and Li Chen's figure disappeared into the darkness again.

Outside, the general in charge of guarding the mausoleum and a man in black stood on a high ground outside the encirclement, quietly watching the exit.

Suddenly, a commander at the side pointed to the front and stammered and shouted: "General... General, it's on fire."

General Shou Ling raised his head and looked over when he heard the words, he was also stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone, go to put out the fire immediately, we must not let the fire spread."

There was a commotion below, and then, everyone who was ambushing in the encirclement circle ran towards the place where the fire started.

General Shouling was already in a cold sweat at this moment, if the whole Yiling was burned again, the people like himself might be wiped out.
