Chapter 535: Going to the Tomb
In fact, Cao Cao also had a little understanding of this matter, but he never made a good decision, because he was afraid that this army that brought him huge wealth would perish.
But at the moment, he has no choice, as long as the war stops, all the princes will know that Cao Cao is short of food, then it may cause a rebellion by people with intentions.
So everything just now was deliberately done by Cao Cao, just for Cao De to do it willingly.
When the goal was achieved, Cao Cao's face was moved, and he asked Cao De to go and prepare, and let him come back alive.
A few days later, dozens of miles outside Chang'an City, nearly a thousand people dressed in people's clothes suddenly came, and they did not enter the village, and when they met people, they would avoid it, and they all stayed in the wild.
Some of the tools they use are also rare for ordinary people to see, and they keep testing and stopping separately all the way, as if looking for something.
A few days later, they were separated from each other, but suddenly they regrouped.
The leader Cao De gathered more than ten people at this time and was discussing secretly. "This place has been tested many times and is better than ever, if you have no opinion, start working today."
Wang Li, the captain of the touching gold, said: "I don't have any opinions, but this tomb is extraordinary, and it should be arranged as soon as possible." ”
Wang Pi is a cadre promoted by Cao De himself, this person can see everything clearly in the dark, and can shrink his body bones, and is a master of the hole.
The most powerful thing is that he has a strong sixth sense, and whenever there is danger, he can sense it in advance, which may be something he has cultivated since he was a child.
Cao De thought for a while and said: "Well, this general has also thought about it, this time the prime minister sent five hundred veterans in the army, and the general meant that three people would lead seven people in the army to form dozens of squads, each team should be separated by 100 meters, and slowly push it out, so as not to cause a large number of casualties." ”
"As for the ground, leave a hundred people to guard it, what do you think of this method?"
Entering in batches, casualties can indeed be reduced a lot, and everyone naturally agrees.
With no objection, Cao De continued: "Also, it is now necessary to select a team of ten people to form a pathfinder to clear a path for those behind. ”
If you want to clear a road under the tomb, ordinary tombs, these people will scramble to do it, but this tomb, if you clear the road, life and death can be unpredictable.
Seeing that no one dared to answer, Cao De said: "The general will not embarrass you, this time to take the lead, led by the general, are you willing to follow?" ”
Wang Pi took the lead and said: "Since the general is willing to take the lead, the general is willing to follow." ”
Under the leadership of Wang Pi, the people around him expressed their willingness to go together.
Seeing this, Cao De selected four people from them, and all four of them had a skill. "Life and death are unpredictable on this trip, you are all the backbone of our department, and I will not choose much, lest my department will collapse in the future."
Cao De's consideration was very thoughtful, and he had already prepared for the worst, so he didn't want to get out alive on this trip, the purpose was to do his best to get more money for Cao Cao.
The matter of the loyalty of the king, these people served under Cao Cao and were respected like never before, so they knew the end of the road, and they did not flinch at all.
Under Cao De's arrangement, the 100 people who were arranged to stay behind began to survey, preparing to choose a point to dig the entrance.
The rest of the people who were arranged to go down to the tomb began to rest, and it was ensured that after going down to the tomb, their spirits would reach the best state.
Because the 100 people who excavated were all masters of tomb robbers, the entrance of the cave opened very quickly, and it was opened in less than a day.
Cao De learned that he ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and the nine people selected began to have a full meal and rest for half an hour before going to the tomb.
As the line of sight slowly dimmed, the hearts of the nine people who went to the tomb with Cao De began to become heavy, and their energy was concentrated.
Because the temptation of the living creatures had been spared a long time ago, and they had waited for nearly several hours, the air in the cave was still sufficient, and the only thing that was unsatisfactory was the smell of some decay.
As the rope at the entrance of the cave slid down for hundreds of meters, Cao De, who was in the middle, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps landing and immediately stopped.
"It's okay, you can come down." The voice sounded, Cao De breathed a sigh of relief and continued to slide down.
As Cao De landed, several faint torches lit up one after another, surrounding him in the middle, adding a sense of security to this dark environment.
Cao De closed his eyes and slowed down for a while, opened his eyes and glanced ahead, and said: "This cave is the closest to the tomb and the best to excavate. ”
"But often this is the best location, but also the most dangerous place, although this tomb has been for hundreds of years, but the general location will not change much, so you must be careful to move forward, feel inappropriate, stop immediately, do not venture."
Matters of life, even if Cao De doesn't say it, they will do the same.
After explaining the arrangement, Cao De was behind the two and began to move forward slowly.
After walking hundreds of meters, a spacious and regular cemetery appeared, and the two people in front were even more cautious, their eyes constantly observing the surroundings in front of them.
Under the darkness, the tomb road buried underground for a long time is eerie and quiet, as if it is a swallowing mouth, and it is like the entrance to hell.
The torches of Cao De and his entourage, in this environment, are insignificant, like starlight wandering in the night.
Each person is ten meters apart, slowly moving forward, and everyone's walking steps are walking according to the footprints of the first person to avoid some hidden dangers.
"Click."
After about ten minutes, a faint voice suddenly sounded, and the person in front of him immediately stopped nervously, and then the whole team stopped.
In the middle, Cao De shouted: "What's going on ahead? ”
The first person replied: "General Hui, it should be a trap." ”
Cao De ordered: "Clean it up, hurry up." ”
As soon as the order came out, the second person hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down beside the first person, took a closer look, and saw that there was only one switch.
And there is not the slightest trace, which allows him to find the source of the mechanism, that is, what this mechanism triggers, it is impossible to know.
"General, this mechanism seems to be closed, I don't know what type it is."
"Huh?" Cao De waved his hand and said: "Except for those in the middle of the organ, all of them will retreat 100 meters back in place." ”
Cao De ordered, and the first person knew in his heart that his life was on the verge of death at this time, and it depended on the will of heaven to live.
After Cao De led the eight people to retreat to 100 meters, he shouted to the front: "Slowly loosen up, pay attention to safety!" ”
Hearing the voice, the man took a deep breath and slowly moved his feet away, thinking about what might happen.
The "squeak, squeak......" mechanism makes a sound of gears slowly turning as the pressure decreases, as if the death is coming.
After his feet left the mechanism completely, the man did not act in a panic, but vigilantly observed his surroundings, hoping to find a glimmer of life before the life-threatening object came.
"Boom Boom ......"
