Chapter 370: Underground Palace

Ye Tao had no intention of interfering with the judgment of Commander Qin, and he was not worried about his safety. In fact, when this part of the guards guarded the young men and ladies leaving the unsafe palace, heading towards the dense forest of the valley, and leaving the imperial guards who were somewhat helplessly defending, their fate was quietly changing.

Although Ye Tao and Tan Weixin only have four people around Liu Yong, Jin Ze, Guan Huan and Zhou Rui, and they also need to protect Tan Weixin and maid Sisi who have no self-protection ability, they are all first-class experts. Even saying that Liu Yong is a first-class expert is a bit underestimated. There are only a handful of people in the world who can beat him, and among those individuals, there is obviously no one in their field of vision, otherwise, no one would have seen the martial arts level of Liu Yong and Guan Huan.

At night, most of the creatures in the valley were already asleep, but many creatures that were foraging at night began to become active. In the darkness, the occasional noise caused by animals that were used to harvesting food in the darkness was even more frightening. Seeing the frightened performance of the young masters and ladies, Ye Tao couldn't help but sigh in secret. Of course, these princesses who played around the Third Princess, who had no power and power, were all relatively idle playboys in Anqing. They may indeed be less determined, but compared with the children of the aristocratic families in Dongping, the children of those aristocratic families should have the opportunity to enter the social scene.

To meet friends from all walks of life and make all kinds of interesting and boring people, most of them have to pass a series of training and assessments at home first. When Ye Tao was in Yicheng, he could run around and meet all kinds of people. Peng Can, the son of the Governor Peng Detian's family, could only do his homework at home according to the rules, arts and martial arts. Most of the children of aristocratic families that Ye Tao knew might not be so outstanding, but they would definitely not be too dissatisfied. For example, Feng Zi, if you want to say that you are playing games, you are no longer more playful than Feng Zi. When you can move your name and hide it, you will not go home. However, Feng Zi's talent is outstanding, but before you are allowed to go out, you were still carefully considered by your family.

"Come here," Commander Qin led everyone in front of the team, carefully assigned the few people in his hands to spread their wings to search. On the one hand, it was to prevent the thieves from chasing them at the end, and on the other hand, it was also to consider that if there were any beasts in the mountains and forests, they could withstand it for a while with the guards with good skills and reactions. Suddenly, Commander Qin saw a relatively flat path in the mountains, as if leading to the top of the mountain. Looking at the traces of the road, it should be that people often maintain it. There were stone lampstands moving everywhere on both sides of the road. Although they were not lit up at this moment, at least it means that there must be something on the top of the mountain.

Although Commander Qin did not know the terrain of the valley very well, he at least understood that the few guards and servants guarding the palace were not anything to go to on the top of the mountain, and he would definitely not do such a time-consuming thing.

The mountain road was indeed repaired, and there was no steep slope, but slowly moved up along the arc of the mountain road. Along the way, although they encountered a small group of wolves who were blind and launched an attack without knowing their own lives, they did not encounter any other dangers. They came to the top of the mountain without any dangers, and returned to the palace. Although it was not said that there were fire everywhere, the situation still seemed quite serious. The outermost walls and the gatehouses were all occupied, and the butter headlights were lit, and they were all concentrated in bronze mirrors, casting light towards the palace.

"Let's go quickly, it's okay if you stay away. Someone has already sent a message to the nearby army to help. The third princess is here, and those guys must have come here in a starry night." Qin Commander Kuan surrounded everyone, and then he ordered his two guards to go back along the distance to see if there were any bandits following him.

On the top of the mountain is an entire idle sentry tower and sentry station. Although Xiling lags behind Dongping in sending messages, it has been a few years since he used the pigeon. There are only two old and dizzy soldiers on the top of the mountain to clean and maintain them, and there are no people in normal times. Only when the king or other important enough people come to the palace for a large hunting, a team of soldiers will be stationed here. The outpost has another way, which leads to another palace in the valley along the mountain. That palace is built on a ruin in the very, very ancient Foreign Palace for hunting to spend the night in the valley. Usually, there are no people there. But in order to make the six or seven soldiers enough to resist the attacks of beasts, there is a wooden village wall built by giant trees. It is very suitable for them to guard now.

After a little talk to everyone, everyone felt that the sense of security brought to them by a circle of village walls was much better than staying at the mountaintop mail tower. As for the fatigue of trekking here, everyone has no time to worry too much. After all, no matter how irrational it is, I know that now is not the time to act spoiled.

In fact, the village built on the ruins is also very sparse. Except for the houses for the king to rest when hunting, the others look like temporary buildings, they are all built with logs and cowhide, which looks like tents more like houses. But it looks a bit like Thunder Cliff or Dongjiaji architectural style. It is indeed a bit wild, but maybe it is too wild. Speaking of which, it is built on the ruins, but in fact, it is just the original location of the ruins. Although the large number of huge bricks and exquisitely carved stones have been sorted out, they are still a bit scattered. There is a three-story palace foundation surrounded by wooden fences. According to people who usually maintain this place, there is an authentic tunnel in the middle, and a bronze gate that cannot be opened underneath is rusted...

After hearing what those people said, Ye Tao looked at Liu Yong, and the two of them smiled knowingly. It was this place that the door was not rusted. Ye Tao knew clearly that the mechanism of this door. After the guards scattered and garrisoned, everyone was shocked. While rectifying some food and drink, they discussed their current situation there. Finally, someone proposed to see the bronze door left by the previous dynasty.

Although he had read the entire treasure trove plan written by Suo Yong and others, Ye Tao was still surprised that the bronze gate was very clean except for the thick green green. Even the password lock on it was all round, each circle was a symbol of gods, demons and ghosts. Everyone looked at the beautiful gate in amazement, and forgot about their dangerous situation for a while.

"Has no one really opened this... it's really?" asked the third princess.

"Your Highness, since our country occupied the valley, all the kings of the country have sent people to crack this lock, but they have never succeeded. Every time, they just remove some rust on it. Otherwise, the door would have probably rusted into a whole piece of copper." The soldiers of the Xiling Imperial Army who were also stationed in the village were the kind of guys who were not very favored and were sent to the royal family, but they were still loyal to the royal family. The sergeant who reported the situation to them was originally a lieutenant in the Imperial Army, and they were still very capable. They came here after offending the people. They were very bored here, but they understood these situations very clearly.

"It's really not open?" Ye Tao approached the door and carefully stroked the bronze beast head on the door. "It's a pity... This door is so exquisite, it must have put in a lot of effort. What is hidden inside must be extremely important and precious things. If it's been locked in it, it would be a pity."

"Yes, yes," several playboys immediately agreed.

"Or, let's just do it and see if we can open the door. Anyway, there will be no loss if we can't open it?" the third princess suggested.

Ye Tao nodded quickly and agreed: "Yes, yes, it's been so many years anyway, so just have some trouble."

Ye Tao was very clear about the password of this gate. The inside and outside of this gate were the same. At the beginning, after emptied the treasure, even though he knew that the gate led to the ground, it actually had no practical effect on their migration of the treasure. However, Suo Yong, who was happy to see the hunt, spent two days trying hard to crack the password, and then restored the door to its original position. Usually, the soldiers who maintained this village might not see it for ten days and half a month, so naturally they knew nothing about it.

After Ye Tao's active instigation and several coincidences, the bronze gate opened...

"Get back quickly and retreat quickly, let the corruption inside dissipate first." Liu Yong quickly pulled away the people standing in front and suggested carefully.

"Well, yes, it makes sense." In this era, tomb robbery novels have not become popular yet. Everyone does not have so much experience in dealing with caves, tombs, underground palaces, etc., but everyone is very convinced by Liu Yong, a kind-hearted and honest person, who said this.

However, the copper door that had not been opened for too long was not corrosive. After everyone looked at it, they talked to Commander Qin and brought a bunch of torches into the underground palace. Commander Qin ordered only a dozen reliable people outside who did not know the code of the underground palace, and the others all entered the underground palace together and closed the copper door again. In his opinion, this place was much safer than outside for the time being.

The ventilation in the underground palace was quite good, and a hint of cool breeze passed by. Turning over two corridors, he walked down a spiral escalator, and the corridor suddenly became clear, and the situation surprised everyone. It was actually a whole hall made of stone. Huge square columns supported the dome with a steady arc. And those columns were actually plated with gold, which was a luxurious atmosphere.
