Old Madam Xiao moved her lips twice, but before she could open her mouth to cover it up.
Xiao Yunzhan spoke first, "This place is very close to the Royal Cemetery. This passage may lead to the Royal Cemetery. It's not surprising to see dragon and phoenix candles."
Why!
After saying this, Xiao Yunzhan sighed deeply in his heart.
He had personally seen Lin Yiran using the imperial seal to hit someone, so it wasn't surprising that he was now taking out a pair of dragon and phoenix candles.
But, Miss Lin, could you please not just take it out and think of a good excuse?
Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran helplessly.
"Yes, that's right. The royal cemetery is nearby." Old Madam Xiao echoed.
After Xiao Yunzhan reminded her, Mrs. Xiao realized that they had actually walked near the royal cemetery, so it was not surprising that the dragon and phoenix candles appeared in the cave.
So many craftsmen participated in the construction of the royal cemetery back then, but in the end none of them could get out alive.
This dragon and phoenix candle might have been hidden here by the craftsmen, who were planning to take it away, but the hole was too small for them to get out.
"What if we meet the gravekeeper? Wouldn't that be..." Second sister-in-law frowned and looked worried.
Xiao Yunzhan took the candle from Lin Yiran and lit it, then looked at his second sister-in-law.
"Don't worry, the gravekeepers are all up there. We're down there now. Just walk quietly and we shouldn't run into them."
The grave keepers are only guarding the entrance to the royal cemetery, not underground, so they are still safe for now.
When Lin Yiran heard that this road might lead to the royal cemetery, her eyes lit up instantly.
Wow, there’s such a good thing. Her space is still a little empty.
"Let's hurry on. If the group up there turns back, we'll be attacked from both sides."
Lin Yiran hurriedly urged.
Now that I'm here, how can I just go back like this?
Judging from the footsteps above, there are at least sixty or seventy pursuers, and it will be difficult for them to fight them.
"Yes, let's go."
Xiao Yunzhan glanced at Lin Yiran, then led the way forward holding a candle.
The sisters-in-law were all very worried when they heard that they would enter the royal cemetery, but Lin Yiran seemed a little impatient.
What does she want to do now?
Xiao Yunzhan frowned, becoming more and more confused about Lin Yiran.
With the candles lighting the way, the road became much easier to walk on.
The further you go in, the wider the cave becomes.
After walking for about half an hour, more and more human bones were found on both sides of the cave.
At first there was just one corpse, and then there were several corpses hugging each other.
As she walked along, Lin Yiran did not find the legendary pile of white bones. All the bones were black, and it was obvious that they died of poisoning.
It is really immoral for the royal family to build a mausoleum and bury so many outstanding craftsmen with the deceased.
Madam Xiao kept muttering all the way, "What a sin, don't look at anything indecent..."
The third sister-in-law held Xiao Linghui's hand, her face pale with fear. This was the first time she had seen so many human bones.
Xiao Yunzhan looked at the twisted corpse and guessed that this escape route should have been made by these craftsmen.
But before they could get up, they discovered they were poisoned, and then they crawled back to find the antidote, so the corpses were scattered all over the place, some crawling on the ground, some curled up...
This has always been the case with the royal family. All the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the royal mausoleum had to be buried with the deceased.
It seems that they really entered the royal cemetery by accident, but they don’t know whether they can find the exit.
If you really can't find it, you have to return along the same route.
Xiao Yunzhan frowned tightly and continued to walk forward along the cave with everyone.
Du Tianli, who was tracking the Xiao family at full speed above the cave, started cursing again.
"Damn it, where are the people? Ah!"
Du Tianli's voice was hoarse and he shouted without any momentum.
The guards listened to Du Tianli's angry duck-like roar, standing by and panting, not daring to say a word.
How would they know where the Xiao family had gone? They had clearly followed the trail.
As I chased, the trace disappeared, and the person was gone too.
"Are you all dead? Didn't you find anything? Ah!"
Du Tianli glared angrily at the guards around him.
The guards met Du Tianli's gaze and all lowered their heads.
What could they discover? There were so many people that they couldn't hear anything.
After listening carefully and running over to take a look, I saw that it was all my own people walking and breathing heavily.
With just seventy or eighty of them rushing into the forest, birds and beasts flew faster than ghosts. It would be strange if the Xiao family didn't know they were chasing them.
"A bunch of rubbish."
Du Tianli looked at the guards who were tilting their heads, and he wished he could chop them all to death with one knife. Anyway, if he couldn't survive, no one else could survive.
They chased with all their might, but ended up running out of energy and still didn't see the Xiao family.
Judging from the traces of life left by the Xiao family, they should be not far away from them.
Du Tianli pursed his cracked lips, looked ahead, and then looked back.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and gave orders.
"Ten of you will search to the east, twenty of you will search back, ten of you will search to the west, ten of you will search to the south, and the rest of you will search with me nearby. Don't miss any caves."
"I don't believe people can still fly. They must be hiding in a cave."
"Just search this hill. If you see a cave, blow the drug in. They should be nearby."
Du Tianli squinted his eyes and scanned the nearby mountains.
The guards nodded in response and immediately ran away.
There is strength in numbers. In less than half an hour, the nearby caves were thoroughly searched by the palace guards.
No caves, big or small, were left out.
