Chapter 375: Obstructed

The treasure layer was indeed empty, unlike the underground palace, maze and imperial tomb in front. The treasure layer was a few parallel and crossed corridors, and stone chambers on both sides of each corridor. When we arrived here, Ye Tao and the others were much more at ease. The volumes piled up on the imperial tomb were all things that were even longer than the ages. They were the perfect and complete secret files. The main records of the royal family genealogy and some things that were large or small, but were artificially important. In those scrolls, if there was anything very surprising about content, it was the fact that these scrolls might reveal a fact: the bloodline of the royal family in the previous dynasty was not a lineage. There was a secret operation because a certain emperor had a problem with the fertility of the fertility... This huge gossip made Ye Tao and Tan Weixin look at each other.

Do you want to take all these scrolls away? If possible, Ye Tao naturally wanted to take all of them. It would be more peaceful to fall into his hands. But now, they absolutely have no ability to take all these things away. It is naturally not difficult to transport them out, but how can such a large number of bright yellow scrolls that have been fresh and fresh through inspections? In this case, they had to briefly copy some important content and then put the things in the imperial tomb that had never been activated.

When they arrived at the gate leading to the back mountain, it was almost the next afternoon. With the food and drinking water they carried, there was no need for scarcity, but the feeling of being in the underground space for a long time was quite obvious. When the copper door of the back mountain slowly opened and the wet air came to their faces, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Commander Qin wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to start a sudden attack, but his body just twitched for a while. Before he could do any movement, Zhou Rui's cold hand was placed on his shoulder. "Commander Qin, please..."

Commander Qin knew how big the gap between him and the other party was. Although Zhou Rui was the most inconspicuous among several people, his feelings about human aura and state were really shocking. With such a person around him, he had no chance at all.

The exit of the back mountain is in a natural cave. The cave was manually repaired, and later Suo Yong and his party used the cave as a place for work, and some caves were dug in it for living and storing items. When they evacuated, many things were thrown into the cave, such as some wood and not very precise tools.

The cave was not very deep. It took only a short time to come out of the underground palace until they saw the sun. When they walked out of the cave and got used to the sun, Liu Yong whispered: "The person who responded was not here."

"Normal, we came out much later than booking. Now the nearby garrison must have begun to pursue. With Dai's style, they must be holding the noses of those troops at this time and staying away from here as much as possible. However... someone should stay to contact us." Ye Tao laughed, not nervous at all.

Sure enough, two reflections soon appeared in the bushes. It was obvious that someone was observing them with a telescope. Then, four people walked out of the bushes and ran towards them. Although time was rushed, the people left behind were really interesting. Zhang Wei, the captain of the special camp, and then a person from the intelligence bureau, a person from the sect demon group, and another one was the son of an old friend of Liu Yong. He was also a well-known expert in the world. Such a combination can contact all parties and play a huge role.

"We are now..." After looking at the strange faces present, although we could roughly guess what was going on, Zhang Wei still omitted the title of Ye Tao and vaguely put it in. Anyway, everyone knows that Ye Tao doesn't care about this.

"What do you think?" Ye Tao asked.

"It's a bit big now. You're late. The team that responded had to pull away to attract the attention of the enemy. Anyway, their team could not keep up with us, and the small group could not beat us, so there would be no safety problems. From a certain distance, they naturally had ways to respond. As for us, I suggest that we find a place to settle first, wait and see if the situation settles in a few days, and we will leave if the search is not so tight." Zhang Wei said.

"Then do it like this." Liu Yong looked at Ye Tao and said.

The whereabouts of the princess are unknown. This factor alone makes things impossible to come to an end. They settled in a nearby town and sent Zhang Wei and the others out to find out the news every day. Now not only the garrisons near Xiling have intervened in the situation, but the imperial guards have arrived. Five thousand imperial guards have entered the valley and summoned a large number of craftsmen to violently crack the underground palace. The copper gate has been chiseled down, and Xiling is using a large number of manpower to crack the maze. With enough people, they are determined to consume their lives.

In the case, the maze and mechanism are not the problem. The person who cracked the maze rescued some people trapped inside in time, but there was no more news. There were too many traps and rock-falling mechanisms in the maze, because such mechanisms were the ones that could continue to play a role in a considerable number of years later. Many dead people were discovered, but now no experts such as forensic anthropology can judge others' identities through bone fragments. The report currently submitted by the Imperial Guard is that the Three Princess and other teams have fallen into the maze and their corpses are gone.

Although he said that, neither the imperial guards nor the garrison dared to slack off. In order to investigate the bandits with strong combat power, they expanded the search circle of warning circles and circles. Even the town where Ye Tao and the others temporarily stationed in had checked several times recently. After all, there were still a few people around them who were easily exposed. Although they successfully passed several inspections, if the inspection efforts were strengthened, problems might occur at any time. So, they finally used their brains to prepare to leave first.

The Intelligence Bureau contacted local personnel, but those who collected basic intelligence could not help this. At most, they found two or three very good-quality carriages, got the horses, and prepared customs clearance documents for them to deliver goods. However, the column in the destination was empty. They could fill it in by themselves, and the lower-level intelligence personnel knew it well. They did not know such a thing, so it was definitely Ye Tao and the others who understood them. Otherwise, if something really happened and they would investigate it all the way, they would definitely be responsible.

"Sir, the roads in the east and southeast directions are already very difficult to pass, and the inspection is relatively tight. Our people should be on the other side of the checkpoint, and the specific direction is not very clear. The ideal situation is that we first decide a destination and then try every means to turn with them. At that time, with hundreds of elite soldiers, as long as the position is not too inappropriate, there will always be a way to leave Xiling. Now, the inspection is only aimed at the third princess and the others. According to the news, it seems that you have already put you on the death list." Zhang Wei reported, "If you look north, even if you don't pass Anqing, it is very dangerous. After all, there are still many people who know you. Now our trouble is that no matter which direction we are heading, it will be difficult to return to a place we can control. Sir, what do you think?"

Ye Tao shrugged, looking unsure of his own. Then, his eyes were all the way down and he stared at a place. "Can we go to Beiyi?"

Beiyi? Zhang Wei glanced on the map. It was the capital of Yizhou, the southernmost part of Xiling, and it was at least half a month away. From where they were, there was no trouble along the way, because they were all in the southwest of Xiling, which was not so developed. However, it seemed that it was not so convenient to go back to Dongping or Chunnan.

Liu Yong came back to his senses and asked, "Don't you want to travel through Yizhou to Yinan, and then go to Yanan Port from the Tusi area, right?"

The area of ​​Yinan is nominally a vassal state of Xiling, but this area has many chieftains and fights with each other. Moreover, the terrestrial qi and miasma are not suitable for the life of Middle-earth people. Xiling almost ignores that place. It is precisely because Xiling cannot control Yinan, it has no outlet for its own sea. The major chieftains of Yinan also make a lot of profit by importing various properties from Yanan Port and transporting them to Xiling. However, Yanan is a place where Qihai Trading Company and Samir family have invested a lot of energy. Qihai Trading Company has not been operating in Yanan for a long time. After all, this place is also considered a vassal state of Xiling, and can only be as low-key as possible to conduct business. However, the Samir family and Xiling have not had any direct conflicts. In Yanan, they have a transportation branch. This is also the only channel for Xiling Products to go to the Middle East and other places.

If you can arrive in Yanan smoothly and contact Qihai Trading Company or the Samir family, you can go directly from the sea. Although this will inevitably be quite troublesome and it will take a long time. Whether it is Yinan or the sea road with a tropical rainforest climate, it will be somewhat dangerous, but this is a very controllable road after all. Moreover, Liu Yong knew that Ye Tao and Tan Weixin had always been very interested in the Nanyang development that they had a little out of reach, which was not a bad opportunity. Especially, the Nanyang navy will be of great use in the future.

"Yes, there may be some malaria in the tropical areas, but as long as you are well prepared, there should be no problem. As for those toasts, I believe that as long as you enter Yinan, you should meet the agents of the Qihai Trading Company or the Samir family, and they will help solve the problem." Ye Tao nodded and said, "What do you think? Let's go and see the sea, okay?"
