When he walked out of the Huyang Pavilion, Heifu felt that his current appearance must be like the "infantry figurines" in the Terracotta Warriors of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in later generations.

The kiosk is the basic security unit, so it has armament and stores five soldiers.

In the small warehouse in the front yard of Huyang Pavilion, there were two pairs of armor suits, considering that the public servant went to say that those tomb robbers all had blades, at least four people, and maybe even bows and arrows, Heifu decided that it was better to take the safety point and wear armor.

When he put on his leather armor with the help of Dongmen Leopard and Liham, Heifu finally knew why this thing was so expensive.

This set of Hefu and their pavilion is only the most rudimentary predecessor armor, worth a few hundred dollars at most, and it can only protect the chest and abdomen, and it has to be hung on the shoulders and waist with straps just like cooking and hanging around the waist in the previous life.

He looked down and found that the armor was made of a whole piece of cowhide cut into large and small pieces of armor, each of which had small holes drilled out, and strong and slender silk ropes connected it, and in some places there were nails...... Although the defense is limited, it is not very heavy and does not affect the activity.

As for Heifu's weapon, it has also changed from the small short sword that has accompanied him for several months and nine inches to a two-foot sword. Pu Zhang said that this was left by the previous pavilion chief, and now it belongs to Heifu, the wooden hilt is wound with copper wire to prevent slipping, and the bronze blade is a little notched, but it is harmless, and it is completely enough to pierce the human body.

The thief picked two halberds, one and a half feet long, he liked to engage with people in close combat, and he also liked to throw a halberd a few steps away, hurting people's lives - although he had never killed anyone, but he always liked to practice against tree stumps on weekdays, and tonight was the time to show his skills.

As for the rest of the armor, Dongmen Leopard refused, muttering that "the eldest husband should be injured and left a scar", and pushed the armor to Lixian with a disgusted face.

Lexian was very cautious, put on his armor well, and picked a spear about nine feet long, he felt that when capturing a thief, he should not be a short soldier, but should be long and short.

Needless to say, Xiao Tao carried a small bow with a strength of only eight buckets, and carried an arrow bag behind him, which contained seven or eight arrows......

Carrying his sword on his back, Heifu asked, "Can the bow and arrow be used well at night?" ”

Xiao Tao replied that those people dug graves overnight, and they must have lit torches, as long as there is a point of light, within twenty steps, he can shoot at night!

"Okay, the long and the short are good, the bow and arrow are behind, and we are well prepared."

Heifu picked up a small wooden shield with a skin and led everyone out of the Huyang Pavilion, he instructed Puzhang to take a good look at the pavilion, and then looked at the night sky that was completely dark, pointed to the southwest and said, "Let's go!" ”

In the cold wind, Heifu seemed to have returned to the time when he was an intern in his previous life, when he followed his seniors to work at night......

But this time, he is no longer a stunned young man who has just graduated from the police academy, but the head of a pavilion.

In the distance, the undulating hills on the bank of Yunmengze resemble the back of a crocodile. The leaves of the trees in the mountains and forests have long since fallen, and the bare trees tremble in the wind. In the vast rice fields, the snow has melted a lot, and there is no one in the silence, not even a wild beast. The Tu Dao in front of him was also empty, and there was no figure.

Only the four people from Huyang Pavilion came in armor.

Hefu walked in the front, and the wind blew the curtains above his head to the wind.

Xiao Tao held the bow in the end, bowed his head, worried that with this wind speed, his arrows would not be useful and would not be able to help the pavilion chief.

This place is still far from the tomb robbery site, Dongmen Leopard and Lixian are in the middle, one left and one right, each lit a firewood as a torch to illuminate, which is particularly dazzling in the dark night sky.

From a distance, the pair of torches swayed like a pair of night eyes of a fierce beast......

The group of four walked briskly, as if the jealous tengu had smelled the breath of a thief, and let out a long cry at the bright moon in the sky, and then he stepped on the moonlight and ran southwest......

……

The period from 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock, in the twelve hours of the Qin State, is called "Rending", as the name suggests, almost everyone has fallen asleep at this time, and they don't know anything else.

However, ten miles southwest of Huyang Pavilion, located in a wasteland between Xiaoqingli and Chaoyangli, a few torches were lit at the right time......

Under the light of the fire, a total of six people appeared in the night, this group of people was old and young, the oldest looked fifty years old, and his hair was gray. The youngest was only thirteen or fourteen, and his arms were thin.

In this cold weather, they all wrapped themselves in thick and good clothes to hide their ragged clothes. However, these clothes are covered with mud, and at a glance, you can see that eighty percent of them were dug out of the ground......

Only the youngest boy, afraid of what the dead wear, preferred to keep his sleeves short, and shivered in the cold wind.

The leader of these six people is the person who handed over to the inner prison gate in Chaoyang, with a bare face and a short beard.

Chang was still wearing the deep clothes dug out of the tomb, although hundreds of years had passed, and the clothes had shrunk a lot, but he could still wear them to keep out the cold, but when he saw him thrust the three shovels into the ground, he smiled and said:

"I've eaten and eaten, I've drunk, I've got all the tools, two or three sons, it's time to work!"

As a habitual tomb robber, Chang looked down on the timidity of the prison gate in Chaoyang, but he also knew in his heart that the warning of the prison gate was not false, and there was not much time left for him, and the tomb under the mound must be dug up tonight! And they took out the burial goods overnight.

He looked up at the cloudless night sky and judged the position of the moon.

"Now it has just passed, when the rooster cries (1 o'clock to 3 o'clock), the coffin of this tomb must be dug up, and in normal times (3 o'clock to 5 o'clock), the burial utensils must be moved out! How much can be taken away, how much! ”

He made an agreement with the Chaoyang Prison Gate that on weekdays, the Prison Gate would drive his own ox cart to answer and help transfer the stolen goods......

Under the order of Chang, the other five people took up tools, or iron shovels, which were used to shovel soil, or copper rakes, which were used to plunge deep into the soil in the ground to test the depth of the coffin.

When he opened himself, he unscrewed the wine he bought at a high price in his arms, took a sip, and guarded everyone's weapons.

In fact, those weapons are also burial goods dug up from various tombs, but some copper swords and copper ges have passed for hundreds of years, although the wooden part has withered, but the blade of the sword, wiped off the patina on it, is still as new.

That's not all, in his open hand, he still holds a crossbow! This was also bought by him from the Chu State at a high price with the money he had previously sold stolen goods, because in the Qin State, crossbows were not allowed to move in the market at all......

Time passed little by little, and after the previous few days of temptation, they had found the location of the tomb.

The tombs of these Chu nobles have something in common, on top of the tombs, a high mound will be erected, which is called the sealed soil, and the local people call it "Datsukazi".

According to the different nobility status, the higher the fief, the higher the rank. However, due to the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life, many of the graves are covered with dead grass and trees, and they look no different from naturally formed mounds.

Only the tomb robbers who have mastered the skill of looking at the tomb in the "Book of Days", with their understanding of the other position, can judge whether it is a tomb or not.

Chang is a person with this kind of ability, and in the big tomb in front of him, he estimated that the sealed soil was the highest among the noble tombs he had seen in Anlu! The length and width are up to dozens of steps, this specification is at least a county prince of the Chu State!

Since the beginning of this month, they have dug up the small burial tombs that are easy to dig up, and have obtained a lot of clothes and blades, but there are not many bronze objects that are of the most valuable value.

But Chang knew that there must be something better in this tomb.

However, the higher the level of the tomb, the farther the coffin was from the surface, and it took many days for the iron shovel to be used up, and they barely managed to dig up the entire mound. After finding the opening of the tomb, everyone began to slowly dig the hole on the exposed ground, and finally the hole was opened, but when the steps of the tomb were exposed, it snowed heavily, and they had to stop for a while.

The tamped soil was not easy to dig, but tonight the snow has melted most of it, and the soil has become more moist and loose, and every shovel can bring out some water. Gradually, the steps of the grave were revealed one by one, and when I counted them carefully with a torch, there were fifteen floors!

"The largest county cemetery I have ever dug in Xinshi County is only twelve steps away......

Chang heard that there is the tomb of the king of Chu on the side of Nanjun Yidao, with 20 layers of steps, Ling Yin 1 level, 18 floors, county public level, 12 floors.

He was stunned for a while, the tomb in front of him was lower than Ling Yin, but higher than the county prince and feudal monarch, who could it be?

Before Chang could figure it out, the people who were digging suddenly let out an exclamation! They threw their tools and retreated.

At the end of the stairs, a stone statue of a beast with two dragon-shaped heads and two antlers on its head was crouching at the entrance of the tomb, with bulging eyes and bared teeth, staring at the tomb robbers with a fierce face!
