Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 613: The Mighty General

Jiang Shangxian nodded. It was not that she was very knowledgeable, but the material of the coffin in front of her was too ordinary. It was comparable to the one made by the Japanese for the World Expo - lame.

The coffin had already fallen apart and decayed without anyone touching it, and the person buried in it had long since turned to bones. However, the few jade artifacts buried with the dead in the broken coffin, although covered with dust, were still conspicuous.

Qiqige took a look and said with some disappointment: "Why isn't it gold?"

"This is just a human sacrifice. It's good to have burial objects. If you want gold, come and have a look later." Jiang Shangxian comforted her.

As he was speaking, Jinyun suddenly said, "This doesn't seem to be a sacrifice."

"Not a human sacrifice?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shangxian felt that his heart could not bear it. It was just a tomb outside and he encountered something like the human sacrifice Gu. Who knew what other harmful things might be in here.

Just now, she felt a little relieved when she saw the dilapidated coffin, but she didn't expect that something was wrong after she spoke a few words.

Qiqige squatted down and picked through the coffins without any disdain. Finally, he picked up a skull and said, "This... looks like the head of a giant insect?"

"Tiger bone?"

Jiang Shangxian hadn't looked closely at these things until now, but after hearing this, he grew a little bolder and leaned over to take a look. "They definitely don't look like human bones."

Tiger bones are quite different from human bones. Xiao Jiang couldn't help but sigh, "I heard that Zhao Tuo loved to eat tigers. I didn't expect that he would even take a tiger with him when he died."

This means that even in the underworld, he will continue to eat tigers.

What resentment what?

How delicious is this South China tiger? He almost ate it all, right?

Feudalism is truly heartbreaking!

Zhao Shan picked up a copper seal and examined it for a few moments. It was written in Qin seal script. As for what was engraved on it...

The expression on his face was as if he had eaten shit: "This looks like some mighty general."

What a mess, giving a tiger the title of general and burying him with the tiger.

Yingzi poked a pair of bronze bells on the ground with a wooden stick and said with disdain, "This Wang is too stingy. Our son-in-law made a safety lock for Manman, and it's all pure gold, and Manman is not willing to wear it!"

This tiger has become a general and is still using bronze.

Scratching it.

Jiang Shangxian touched her head and said, "I'll make a gold lock for you when we get back."

The little girl’s dowry must be saved early!

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt everyone's eyes on her, including Qi Qige and Zhao Shan.

Jiang Shangxian had a headache: "All of them! One for each person!"

There is an ear chamber on each side of the front room. This layout conforms to the normal characteristics of Qin and Han Dynasty tombs. Usually, burial objects are placed in these two places.

Everyone divided into two groups and took a quick look, confirming that there was nothing unusual. Qiqige happily picked up several gold utensils and happily asked Yingzi to borrow her bag so that she could pack everything up and take it back.

Jiang Shangxian and Zhao Shancou were studying the tomb door. It was called a tomb door, but it was actually just a wall. But the strange thing about this place was that there was no second door except the tomb door they came in through.

There are no doors in the two side chambers. This wall faces the door of the tomb passage. The scale of Zhao Tuo's tomb cannot be so small. Moreover, even the main tomb chamber is not seen. There is only one possibility - there is another space behind this wall.

Zhao Shan said, "The back should be the main coffin chamber."

"Leek white."

Xiao Jiang spoke in a low voice, slyly waving at Jiubai, "Listen, is there any movement back there?"

"Yes."

Jiubai was not vague either. He climbed onto the wall, put his ear close to it, and listened carefully with his eyes closed.

Jiang Shangxian and Zhao Shan's hearing was only normal, so no matter how curious they were, they could only wait eagerly.

Fortunately, Jiubai didn't ask them to wait too long. He quickly opened his eyes and nodded at Jiang Shangxian: "I heard someone fighting back there."

"fight?"

Jiang Shangxian was excited. What does fighting mean?

This means there are two groups of people behind them, and it is most likely that Cui Bianxu and his group are fighting with another group.

Of course, it is also possible that the two groups of people who followed them into the mountains were fighting, but this possibility is not high.

Normally, if two groups of flies meet, they should not fight before they find what they are looking for.

After figuring this out, Jiang Shangxian was both excited and distressed. She twirled her fingers and kept spinning. She wanted to quickly reunite with her own Xiao Cui, but what should she do about this wall?

She can't walk through walls!

"This must be a mechanism." Jiubai saw her anxiety, and although he didn't understand why, he quickly touched the wall with his hands.

He touched it very carefully, not leaving out any corner. The mechanisms at that time were not easy to make, and most of them were relatively simple. Zhao Shan also knew a thing or two about mechanisms, so he followed suit and groped around on the ground and lamps nearby, wherever he could see.

Qiqige, who had gained a lot, was already thinking about how to design the gold jar to use after his death. Seeing that they were struggling to find it, he suggested in a good mood: "It's just a wall. There are so many of us. Can't we just break it down?"

It’s not the bronze tomb door outside, how hard can it be to break down the brick wall?

A word awakened the dreamer. Jiubai slapped his forehead and said, "My lady, the brick wall is very easy to smash. You and Master Zhao should step back. The subordinates will come."

He has become so refined following his wife that he has even forgotten the traditions of his Jiulang family.

Back to their old job, the guards were all eager to get started. They took out their weapons in an instant and in a short while they had chiseled several palm-sized holes in the wall.

As soon as Jiang Shangxian looked at the dark hole, she understood why she and Zhao Shan had been listening for a long time but couldn't hear clearly whether there was anyone on the other side.

Zhao Tuo is really cunning, he even has double insurance.

"Don't worry, my lady, it's the same for two floors, it's a piece of cake!" Jinyun grinned at Jiang Shangxian. Are you kidding? If they can't even break through the wall, they will have no chance of survival in the future!

Jiang Shangxian ducked his head to avoid a flying brick and expressed his high praise for his subordinates' enthusiasm: "Look at your professional posture. I feel very confident in handing this job to you!"

It's true that even in modern times, people like Jiubai can make money by working for the demolition team instead of being bodyguards.

Look at how skillful he is. He thrust the iron spike into the gap between the bricks and knocked with the small hammer, and soon a big hole was dug out of the outer layer of the wall.

Seeing this, Yingzi rushed forward with her own small hammer and joined in smashing. Don’t look at her small size, she is very strong!

Zhao Shan, who was weak and unable to even tie a chicken, was about to persuade her to take a break when a scream suddenly came from next door!

Without a wall, the sound was much clearer this time.

Jiang Shangxian was just trying to stuff half-melted malt sugar into his mouth. When he heard the noise, he almost choked to death. His face flushed red as he stood up and pointed at the wall, unable to speak in a panic.

"How can you be so careless!" Zhao Shan hurriedly stuffed the candy into his mouth, and without wiping it off, he hit her back with his sticky hands.
