Just as Su Changzhao received the news.
The sinkhole appeared during the earthquake that night.
The location is in the southwest corner of Fengdu Palace.
Tang Feng saw that he had sent two groups of people down one after another.
The first group was the imperial guards.
After coming up, everyone said in unison that the bottom of the pit was connected in all directions and the passages were intricate.
The leading general saw that it was not easy to go deeper, so he returned with everyone and reported to Tang Fengjian, saying that based on his experience, this pit was extremely unusual and that professionals were needed to explore it, otherwise there might be hidden dangers.
Although Tang Fengjian wanted to know the situation in the pit as soon as possible, she was not a female tyrant who regarded human life as worthless. She immediately spent a lot of money to recruit a group of tomb robbers and asked them to go down and investigate...
"What's the result?" Su Changzhao couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
Tang Feng saw his expression darken and shook his head: "Only one person came out alive."
"Did he say what happened down there?"
Tang Fengjian still shook his head: "Although this person came out alive, she is also crazy. I went to see her once, she was crazy and incoherent. It is impossible to get information from her."
"Have you seen a doctor? Maybe it's just a momentary shock, and he will recover after being comforted?"
"I have tried this before, and even asked the palace's experienced medical officials to go, or..."
Tang Feng saw that he wanted to say something but stopped.
But her afterwords speak for themselves.
Su Changzhao patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. Susu also came to Fengdu with me this time."
The Su Su mentioned by Su Changzhao is none other than the Medical Saint Xiao Qinsu.
Hearing this, Tang Fengjian's eyes lit up again, "Susu is here too? That's great!"
There is no time to lose.
The two of them immediately went to find Xiao Qinsu and took her to the "madman".
Under Xiao Qinsu's miraculous treatment.
The woman who had been crazy for several days finally came to her senses.
When she learned that the person in front of her was the current empress.
The woman fell to her knees and kowtowed, begging for mercy without saying anything else.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!"
"Please spare my life!"
Tang Fengjian, Su Changzhao and Xiao Qinsu looked at each other.
Su Changzhao winked at Tang Fengjian, who understood what he meant. He put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "What crime have you committed?"
"I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!" The woman answered the question irrelevantly and burst into tears. Her tone was full of regret.
This made the people present even more confused.
Seeing this, Su Changzhao took two steps forward and said coldly: "If you don't speak clearly and tell the whole story, His Majesty will throw you back into the pit!"
Su Changzhao's voice was not loud, but it was enough to make the woman lying on the ground shiver.
"I am just an ordinary person, I don't know how to rob graves!" She continued, "I am just an ordinary person, I don't know how to rob graves!"
"As an ordinary person, who gave you the courage to deceive the emperor? Can you set the trap just by saying so? You are going to die!"
"I... I really know I was wrong! There are many traps under the pit, and my own sister died down there... Wuuuu... Everyone is dead... Wuuuu... Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!"
After the woman finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily again.
The natural result was that the woman was taken away and put into jail to be dealt with later.
When Su Changzhao and the other three were the only ones left in the room.
Tang Feng was puzzled, "Why would they do this?"
Su Changzhao stroked his chin and said, "Your Majesty is eager to learn, and the people he found are just ordinary peddlers in the market. They are willing to sacrifice their lives when they see that there is profit to be made. Little did they know that they would lose their lives in that pit."
Xiao Qinsu nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Tang Feng shook his head and said, "You really value money over life."
Xiao Qinsu said, "The tombs that are targeted by tomb robbers are those with rich burial objects, not to mention that this pit is located under the royal palace. These people probably want the treasures underground in addition to the reward from your majesty. People die for money, so they risk deceiving the king in order to make a fortune."
Xiao Qinsu had traveled around the world practicing medicine in the past, and was accustomed to such things.
Su Changzhao felt that the truth he told her was almost certain.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
The important thing is, we must dig this pit!
ยท
The next morning.
After everyone had eaten and drunk well, dressed properly and armed themselves, they were ready to go down into the pit.
"Long move, have you thought it through? This pit..." Tang Feng looked at the dark and deep pit beside him with lingering fear.
Wherever the sunlight shines, it seems to be absorbed, and nothing can be seen except darkness.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can clearly feel the chill rising up.
Su Changzhao smiled at her, "If you don't figure out what's going on under this pit, you'll probably be unable to sleep or eat. I'm here now, so I can't make a wasted trip. I'll help you get down into this pit."
Tang Feng didn't know what to say.
Su Changzhao felt a little guilty: [In theory, the treasure map is in the pit, and the pit is in the Fengdu Palace. It is reasonable that it belongs to Feng Jian. ]
[In the original novel, Tang Fengjian was able to offer the treasure map because she was married to Yu Jiuchen. Rather than offering the treasure map, it was more like sharing it, because they were all family members.]
Thinking of this, Su Changzhao felt even more guilty for betraying his sisters.
But she thought again: [That's not entirely true. The world revolves around Ah Heng.] Thinking of the night when her hands became transparent, Su Changzhao immediately perked up again.
[Ah Heng is destined to complete the hero's mission, find all the treasure map fragments, unify the seven kingdoms! Become a wise ruler! ]
[So even if I wasn't here today, according to the plot, Ah Heng would have come with others to go down the pit and look for the treasure map! ]
Thinking of this, Su Changzhao finally felt less guilty.
The people who are going down into the underground pit this time: Su Changzhao, Yu Jiuchen, Xiao Qinsu, Bai Longnv, Li Xing, as well as some good fighters brought from the ghost town and people from the dragon guarding clan.
Of course, before going down, Tang Fengjian dispatched another elite force to Su Changzhao.
After all, there are many dangers down there, and more people are always better than fewer.
Su Changzhao naturally did not refuse.
After the preparation work is completed, the next step is to dig the pit.
Others may not have much experience in going into tombs, but for the Dragon Guardians, they are professionals.
So the ones who took the lead were the Dragon Guarding Clan.
When Su Changzhao and others were waiting for the signal up there, Tang Fengjian couldn't help but look at the tall, thin and cold-looking man next to Su Changzhao, who was wearing a bronze ghost mask.
When they just met, the other party didn't say much. Even though he was wearing a mask, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding me.
Tang Fengjian complained that Su Changzhao was stingy and even covered the doctor's face tightly. However, Su Changzhao said that her husband was shy and afraid of strangers, which made Tang Fengjian unable to say much.
But for some reason, Tang Fengjian always felt that the other person's figure and graceful demeanor looked somewhat familiar.
I just can't remember where I've seen it.
Next second.
The dragon-guarding people who went down first sent a signal.
It means there is no problem down there, and they can all go down.
So Su Changzhao didn't waste any time and led everyone down the pit...
