A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1931 Tombs, The Road of No Return
Being tricked by a woman, it would be a lie to say that he was not angry. However, Su Wan was not enough to make Wang Jinling angry. However, when Wang Jinling found out that Su Wan had maintained relationships with several powerful ministers in Dongling during her short one year, and that many sons of powerful men were her slaves, and that these people had contributed to Su Wan's escape, Wang Jinling was really angry.
He actually didn't know that under his jurisdiction, there was such a dirty side...
Wang Jinling laughed in anger: "Since you can't control your lower body, forget it."
With just one sentence, he turned all these people into eunuchs, confiscated their property and put them in jail... His methods were fierce and shocked the government and the public, and frightened those who had just established contact with the King of Zhou so much that they dared not move...
Wang Jinling knew that Su Wan's escape was no small matter, not to mention that she also took Ye Ye's child with her. Wang Jinling immediately ordered people to find Su Wan's whereabouts, and also sent people to pass the news to the Ninth Uncle. Unfortunately...
The Ninth Prince was destined to receive no news because he and Feng Qingchen had already arrived outside the tombs of the previous dynasty. They had not received any news from the outside world three days ago.
Feng Qingchen and his party arrived outside the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty in the evening. Feng Qingchen sat on horseback, took a look from afar, and was shocked by the scenery in front of him.
Unlike the cemetery that Feng Qingchen had imagined, the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty did not have any gloomy or heavy feeling at all. It was so beautiful that it did not look like a cemetery.
The mountains are lush and green, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The setting sun is a fiery red, and it is as beautiful as a painting...
"This is simply a paradise on earth." Feng Qingchen pulled the reins and did not move forward.
She was completely mesmerized by the scenery before her. She had been to many places over the years, but had never seen such a beautiful place.
The imperial tombs of the previous dynasty are surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a world of their own, blocking out the chaos and prosperity of the outside world. It is as quiet and beautiful as a fairy living in the woods.
The imperial mausoleum covers a very vast area with no visible edges. One can only see a mountain peak in the distance, and that mountain peak is always surrounded by clouds and mist, as if one is in a fairyland.
"Legend has it that a god came down to earth, moved mountains and filled the sea, and built this Feng Shui treasure land for the previous dynasty. It is said that it can protect the descendants for generations and the country will last forever." Xuan Shaoqi knew legends like these.
"A god descended to earth? The previous dynasty must have released them on purpose to instill fear into the people and prevent them from rebelling against the rule of the previous dynasty." Feng Qingchen knew that emperors always liked to make up stories about the destiny and the appearance of auspicious signs to make people believe that he was the king appointed by heaven and that they would not dare to rebel.
"It's good enough to understand it in your heart. There's no need to say it out loud. This will only embarrass the people of the previous dynasty." When Xuan Shaoqi said this, he glanced at the Ninth Uncle out of the corner of his eye.
Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince did not respond at all. He dismounted, walked to Feng Qingchen's side, and helped Feng Qingchen dismount with great consideration. Then he said to the Eighteen Riders, "Set up camp and enter the cemetery tomorrow."
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped playing and looked serious.
The only road leading to the cemetery of the previous dynasty is called Huangquan Road, and it is lined with the legendary flower of the underworld - the two-life flower!
The two-life flower is also called the other shore flower. It is a blood-colored two-life flower that blooms on both sides of the Yellow Springs Road. According to legend, it is a flower that guides people to the underworld.
Both Xuan Shaoqi and the Eighteen Riders had heard about the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty, and knew how terrifying that Yellow Springs Road was. Perhaps once they stepped in, they would never be able to get out again...
The road to hell where there is no return is not just a shout!
Except for Snow Wolf, no one was in the mood to play around. Everyone was silently preparing for tomorrow and bracing themselves mentally.
"Afraid? You can choose not to go." The Ninth Prince said to Xuan Shaoqi who was beside the fire.
Before coming, he asked Xuan Shaoqi and the Eighteen Riders that if they were afraid, they could choose not to come.
After hesitating for a moment, the eighteen riders nodded heavily. Xuan Shaoqi didn't even think about it and decided to go together. If it weren't for Feng Jin's restraint, Zuo An would have followed without hesitation.
The tombs of the previous dynasties were very dangerous, but for people like them, it was a very attractive place. If they could enter the tombs of the previous dynasties once in their lifetime, it would be worth their life.
"Afraid? What do I have to be afraid of? I'm a lonely man with nothing. I can afford to lose. What about you?" Xuan Shaoqi turned the barbecue in his hand and automatically handed the first portion of the barbecued meat to Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then silently took it and lowered his head to eat...
The Ninth Prince did not answer Xuan Shaoqi's words, but silently looked at the uncooked meat in his hand, and silently complained in his heart: Why is it that the same meat in Xuan Shaoqi's hand is cooked, but the one in his hand is still raw?
"Awoo...Awoo." The ignored snow wolf barked wildly: Big brothers and sisters, don't just focus on eating, please consider my feelings.
The meal was very lively and it dispelled a lot of worries about going to the underworld.
"Let the Snow Wolf keep watch tonight. Everyone should have a good rest and get enough energy to prepare to enter the cemetery." Feng Qingchen patted the Snow Wolf's big head, indicating that the Snow Wolf should work hard tonight.
"Awoo... Awoo." The snow wolf barked twice, indicating that there was no problem and that they could just leave it to it. But in the second half of the night, everyone woke up...
"It's so cold." Even the Eighteen Riders were shivering with cold, not to mention Feng Qingchen, whose fingers were almost stiff from the cold.
"Why did the temperature suddenly drop?" She knew that there were places with a big temperature difference between morning and evening, but she had never seen such a big difference between the first half of the night and the second half of the night.
"Light the fire." Ninth Prince and Xuan Shaoqi were fine. They both had strong internal strength and could use it to ward off the cold.
"It won't light..." The eighteen riders tried for a long time and found that the tinderbox and flint could only produce sporadic sparks. The dry firewood they had picked up before had become damp at some point and could not be lit at all.
"Awoo awoo..." Although the snow wolf was covered with fur, it still felt cold. It quietly squeezed closer to Feng Qingchen. The man and the wolf leaned against each other and felt much warmer.
"Let me try..." After warming up a little, Feng Qingchen's brain could finally function normally. He took an alcohol lamp from the tent, sprinkled alcohol on the pile of firewood, and placed the wick in the middle.
"Try it." Feng Qingchen struck the flint a few times, but found that he couldn't even produce a spark. He silently handed the flint to the Ninth Uncle.
"Pah... Pah..." The Ninth Prince quickly produced sparks, but these sparks were not enough to ignite the alcohol.
"Pah... Pah..." The Ninth Prince knocked twice more, and the sparks grew bigger and bigger. Sparks fell on the alcohol in a series, and with a bang, the fire ignited...
The red flames jumped up, and the snow wolf howled in fear, and retreated repeatedly. The next second, the snow wolf let out a sharp and terrified cry as if its tail was stepped on...
