A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1901 Tomb Group can still plot against Feng Qingchen
Apart from the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, only Su Wenqing knew that the map of Jiuzhou had been collected. Bu Jingyun, who was far away in Liancheng, had been excluded from this small circle at some point.
The Ninth Prince and Su Wenqing tacitly did not tell Bu Jingyun many things. It was not because they did not trust him, but because they did not trust a man in love.
Bu Jingyun did so many things for Qin Baoer that they could not understand or accept. They no longer dared to believe Bu Jingyun.
"This place seems to be the mountain behind the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty. The mountain covers a vast area with no visible borders. It is surrounded by dense forests and is full of dangers. When the four countries were first established, the emperors of the four countries sent people to search for it. They said that it was a Feng Shui treasure land and the location of the dragon vein of the previous dynasty. It was also the secret that allowed the previous dynasty to rule the Kyushu continent for a thousand years."
Although Su Wenqing's knowledge was not as good as that great scholar, he knew more about these practical things than others. As soon as the Ninth Prince described the map, he thought of where it was, which was why the Ninth Prince felt familiar with it.
"It turns out to be near the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty." The Ninth Prince nodded thoughtfully. It was indeed a good place to hide treasure.
Not to mention the dangers in the dense forest, even entering the imperial tombs alive is not an easy task. At least they have not heard of anyone who has done it.
The imperial mausoleums of the previous dynasty cover a vast area, even comparable to that of several cities. There are hundreds of tombs in it, and each tomb covers an area of more than 100 or 1,000 acres. There are tombs of all sizes, intricate and complex, coupled with various mechanisms. Except for the people who designed the tombs in the first place, no one can walk to the end alive, let alone walk out alive.
As for the people who designed and built the mausoleum, they were all buried as sacrificial objects and died in the cemetery. There were no living people in the imperial mausoleum, and no one who entered would ever get out.
Over the years, countless people have tried to steal the burial objects from the imperial tombs of previous dynasties, but without exception, they all died tragically, and no one came out alive. No matter if you are a tomb robber or a martial arts expert, if you enter the imperial tomb, you will never be able to become an emperor again.
Some people jokingly say that the road leading to the imperial tombs of the previous dynasty is the road to the underworld. Once you set foot on it, there is no turning back and you can only walk all the way to the cemetery and be buried with the dead emperor of the previous dynasty.
"The route on the Jiuzhou map should lead people through the imperial mausoleum. As long as you walk through the imperial mausoleum, the danger in the dense forest will not be great." With the imperial mausoleum guarding the front, no one can set foot in the dense forest. If the Ninth Prince really wants to look for the treasures of the previous dynasty, he must be fully prepared, otherwise he may never come back.
"It's too dangerous. I don't recommend you go in person." Su Wenqing thought again and again, and finally put forward his own opinion: "Let Jingyun and Bufan go together. As long as Baoer is not involved, Jingyun is still very reliable. They are both highly skilled in martial arts and can protect themselves when they encounter danger."
"No, Bu Jingyun must stay in Liancheng and cannot leave." Although the Ninth Prince did not approve of Bu Jingyun mixing with the people from the Hundred Ghosts Palace, if Bu Jingyun really wanted to sneak in and gain their trust, the Ninth Prince would not let Bu Jingyun give up easily.
In order to infiltrate the Palace of Hundred Ghosts, Bu Jingyun suffered a lot and they also put in a lot of effort. It would be unwise to give up at this time.
As for Bu Fan, he suffered on behalf of Lan Jiuqing last time. Although his body has recovered a lot, his skills are only 70% of what was expected at his peak. If Bu Fan goes, the possibility of him coming back alive is very small.
Su Wenqing also knew that what the Ninth Uncle said made sense. After thinking for a while, he proposed another candidate: "How about Xuan Shaoqi? Some time ago, someone from Xuanyue Palace came to him. He must know about the Xuan Sect and its relationship with the previous dynasty. If you take out the Jiuzhou token, he will definitely obey you."
"Xuan Shaoqi? No." The Ninth Prince refused without thinking.
He saw how good Xuan Shaoqi was to Feng Qingchen, and Xuan Shaoqi was also the one who saw Lan Jiuqing's death. If he took the Jiuzhou Token to find him at this time, Xuan Shaoqi would definitely be able to guess his identity.
However... he really had to pay attention to Xuan Yue Palace's attempt to win over Xuan Shaoqi: "Send someone to tell Xuan Shaoqi about the existence of the Jiuzhou Token." In this way, even if Xuan Shaoqi could not be used by him, he would not be used by Xuan Yue Palace and Lan Jingyang.
Although Su Wenqing felt it was a pity, he could only follow orders when facing the cold eyes of the Ninth Prince. However, Su Wenqing mentioned again: "The war between Beiling and Chucheng has not ended yet, and there is no rush to find the treasure. Let's look for it again, maybe there will be a suitable candidate." The former imperial tomb is too dangerous, and Su Wenqing is really afraid that the Ninth Prince will get into trouble there.
"Yeah." The Ninth Prince temporarily accepted the suggestion. They had to wait until spring to get the treasure. Winter was approaching, so it was not suitable to set out now.
The war mentioned by Su Wenqing did give the Ninth Uncle a headache. The weather was about to get colder. The people of Beiling lived in the ice and snow all year round and were not afraid of the cold at all, but the soldiers of Dongling were not like that.
The battle between Beiling and Dongling cannot continue.
“Let the spies hidden in Beiling start to act and notify Anping to cooperate. After the mission is accomplished, I will bring her back and allow her to meet Prince Luo.” The Ninth Prince tapped the table and issued an order to disrupt Beiling’s internal affairs.
He had been planning this move for many years. In order to make this move, he did not hesitate to pay a huge price. He obtained the smuggling route between Dongling and Beiling from Wang Jinling and used his huge wealth to bribe the Beiling nobles.
"Yes." Su Wenqing nodded carefully. He knew very well how chaotic Beiling would be once this move was made.
"I will send troops to the border of Nanling. You notify the spies in Nanling to do their best to stop Nanling from sending troops to Taicheng. I don't want Taicheng to go to war with Shandong and have outside forces interfere." The Ninth Prince lowered his eyes, making it impossible for people to see what he was thinking. Su Wenqing was startled and asked, "Not sending troops to help? Taicheng has already increased its troops, and the people of the Fengli tribe are under a lot of pressure."
The Ninth Prince did not say anything, but just looked up and gave Su Wenqing a cold look. Su Wenqing was startled and almost knelt down. Fortunately, the Ninth Prince had no intention of putting pressure on him and quickly put away his majesty, which prevented Su Wenqing from losing control.
Frightened by the Ninth Prince, Su Wenqing did not dare to say anything more. In the following conversation, no matter how incomprehensible the orders given by the Ninth Prince were to him, Su Wenqing did not dare to say a word.
The Ninth Prince cares so much about Feng Qingchen, but when it comes to the struggle for power, the Ninth Prince can still plot against Feng Qingchen's clansmen and ignore their lives and deaths.
They could clearly rescue them, but they allowed the Fengli tribe and the people of Taicheng to waste time and try to drain Feng Qingchen's troops to the maximum extent.
Feng Qingchen probably knew this, so...even though the information coming from Shandong was not very optimistic, Feng Qingchen did not ask the Ninth Uncle for help.
Whether it was Feng Qingchen or Feng Liyou, they both understood very well that the Fengli clan had too many private soldiers, and the Ninth Prince was very wary of them. The Ninth Prince just watched their losses in battle coldly without trying to harm them, which was already a kind, wise and righteous act, and they could not ask for more.
Of course, there is another important reason, that is...
No matter whether it is Feng Qingchen or Feng Liyou, they are both proud. This is a battle that belongs to the Fengli clan. No matter how hard or difficult it is, they have to fight on their own to show the power and momentum of the Fengli clan and let the Ninth Prince see their value. Only in this way will the Ninth Prince use them!
