Chapter 1013: Alarming the Snake
Hearing this sentence, Lu Xiao was still a little confused, but he gradually came back to his senses, but still looked at Shang Ruyi in disbelief, and after a long while he whispered: "You Is it really for the so-called treasures in Zuo Gong’s tomb?”
Shang Ruyi looked at her and said with a smile: "People die for wealth and birds die for food."
"..."
"Even the Khan of the Western Turks and Wang Shaoqiu could do it for this Zuo Gongsu. I gave up attacking Xiazhou and giving up helping Luoyang, so how can I be exempted? ”
Luxiao said: "As the Princess of Qin, you are not short of money. Besides, didn't you yourself say that you have lived a life of fine clothes, fine food, and calling slaves and maids all these years? Even if I just lived in Shen Mansion for that period of time, , I also know that after Princess You gave birth to a child, the emperor loved you very much and gave you rewards every now and then."
"..."
"You have already done this. You are so rich, and you still covet this little wealth?"
Shang Ruyi said: "Miss Luxiao doesn't understand. Although my life in the palace is rich, it doesn't cost much money in this world. The most expensive thing is raising soldiers and fighting. Compared with these two, everything else is nothing.
Lu Xiao looked at her more and more doubtfully: "You are a woman, how can you raise soldiers and horses? What wars can you fight?"
Shang Ruyi glanced at her and said nothing.
Lu Xiao's heart became heavier. She originally thought that Shang Ruyi was just doing it for Xiazhou, but she didn't expect that she had other plans in her heart. Now she is with the Turks and Wang Shaoqiu. Going up the mountain, who knows what will happen?
Those two people are not good friends.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps nearby. Looking up, it was Lei Yu walking towards them. Shang Ruyi subconsciously pursed her lips, and looking at her vigilant look, Lu Xiao Also look away. Lei Yu walked over and looked at Shang Ruyi with the same puzzlement as the green silk: "Ruyi, are you really going to find Zuo Gong's tomb?"
These words are exactly the same as what Lu Xiao said just now.
Shang Ruyi said: "Yes."
Lei Yu's brows frowned even more tightly: "You, what are you thinking about?"
Lei Yu is not I don’t know that although the two people can still be close, they are actually in the situation of hostile camps. Even if However, she still wanted to protect Shang Ruyi. Before she came, she guessed that Shang Ruyi released the news about Zuo Gong's suspected tomb in order to lure Ashina Zhuxie and Wang Shaoqiu, and she was worried that they would not get what they wanted. He wanted to take action against Shang Ruyi, so he cruelly let go of He Du and must follow him.
Unexpectedly, although Shang Ruyi brought people here, she did not do anything to deal with the crisis in Xiazhou. Judging from her words and deeds, it seemed that she really wanted to find Zuo Gong's tomb.
This made Lei Yu a little unsure.
Seeing that she was also so confused, Shang Ruyi said calmly: "Actually, in the past two years, I have been trying to find a way to find Zuo Gong's tomb. If such a large sum of money is really left to rot in the ground, It's a pity."
"..."
"Using this opportunity to lure Ashina Zhuxie over and give Xiazhou a chance to delay the attack is a double benefit."
“…”
"That's all." What she said was already very frank, but Lei Yu's frown deepened.
She said: "Do you really need the money to bury Mr. Xiaoshan so much?"
Shang Ruyi glanced at her and said nothing. The two had been dependent on each other for life and death. The friend who talked about everything was relatively speechless at this time, and the atmosphere became awkward and dull.
Everyone drank water and ate. After a meal, they were full of energy.
Shang Ruyi stood up and greeted: "Let's go."
With the "order", everyone stood up silently and followed her. Shang Ruyi seemed to have become the leader of this team invisibly. At the top, along the winding path that was looming among the lush bushes, the group began to climb towards the peak where the immortal stepped.
As she said, the road up to this mountain peak is shady. Although the sun is shining high and steaming, no sunlight shines here. Therefore, it is overgrown with weeds and densely covered with vines, making it appear obscured even if it is not surrounded by tall trees. The sky blocks out the sun, and you have to clear the path every step you take With the branches sticking out on both sides and the layers of grass underfoot, sometimes it takes a long time to find a way, and even if you find a way, you will see some green and red ones from time to time, even colorful and look very dangerous. Snakes and insects swam in the grass, frightening people.
We were only halfway through the journey, and several Turks had already been bitten by snakes.
The first two were just bitten by ordinary brocade snakes. They could still walk after being simply bandaged, but one of them was unlucky. The snake that bit him on the leg had a black body and a silver ring. , obviously poisonous. After being bitten, the man immediately foamed at the mouth and fell unconscious. Ashina Zhuxie could only ask the first two people who were bitten by the snake to escort him down the mountain and give him the one he left at the bottom of the mountain. The other half were treated and rescued.
As a result, everyone became more cautious and walked very slowly.
Gradually, the sun sets, and the peak opposite is illuminated by the fiery red sun, like a red-hot pillar.
And finally, when the sun was about to set, they could barely see the front of the path, the peak of the mountain extending towards it, and a shadowy eaves sticking out.
The person under Shang Ruyi who was clearing the way immediately said: "There is a house! Is anyone living there?"
As soon as they heard this, the Turks who were following them and were already suffering a lot were immediately excited. Get up, Ashinaju Xie's eyes also lit up. He hurriedly pushed aside the few people in the middle and walked forward quickly to take a look. Sure enough, he saw the corner of the house on the top of the mountain. He hurriedly turned to look at Shang Ruyi: "That's the one on the left. Public suspicion tomb? ”
Shang Ruyi was also a little surprised. After all, he didn't expect to find some useful traces so quickly, but after thinking about it carefully he said: "The mausoleum should be buried deep underground, not built on the ground."
" Oh?”
“That roof looks more like a residential house.”
When Ashina Zhuxie heard this, he frowned.
Shang Ruyi added: "However, if Zuo Chen'an's tomb is really in Tianding Mountain, the people who live here will know some clues. Let's go up and have a look first."< br>
After saying that, he used the stick in his hand to open up the dense weeds in front of him and continued walking forward.
Everyone could only listen to her at this moment and follow her, but as soon as they took two steps forward, suddenly, Wuxue, who was following Shang Ruyi closely, shouted: "Princess, be careful!"
Not long after that, a long and thin black shadow suddenly jumped out of the grass, spiraling up the stick in Shang Ruyi's hand, and suddenly shot into her hand. bite!
