Chapter 845 Discovery in the Secret Room

A few hours later, Shi Daming rode on a tall horse and rushed towards Alexander's residence in a hurry.

The horse's hooves raised a cloud of dust, as if telling his inner anxiety and expectation.

Soon, he came to the mysterious hut in the quiet valley.

The hut was surrounded by towering ancient trees with dense branches and leaves. The sunlight could only shine through the gaps, giving people a gloomy and mysterious feeling.

Shi Daming got off the horse, walked quickly to the hut, and gently pushed open the shaky wooden door.

Inside the house, Alexander was sitting in front of a shabby wooden table, which was filled with all kinds of strange instruments and yellowed books.

He was dressed in a black robe, with a cold face and deep and sharp eyes, as if he could see through people's souls.

"I have obtained Xi Yu's birth date." Shi Daming said impatiently, with a hint of excitement in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

Alexander raised his head slightly, glanced at him, and a barely noticeable arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Bring it here."

Shi Daming quickly took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it over.

Alexander took the paper, glanced at the birth date on it, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"This spell is not simple, it requires a lot of my energy and magic power." Alexander said slowly, "You have to pay a sum of money before you can start."

Shi Daming took a heavy purse from his waist without hesitation and threw it on the table.

"Is this enough?"

Alexander reached out and took the purse, shook it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you wait aside."

After that, he stood up and began to pace in the room, muttering to himself.

As he chanted, the air in the room seemed to become heavy, and those magic tools also trembled slightly, making a buzzing sound.

Alexander walked to the center of the room, drew a strange formation, and placed Xi Yu's birth date in the center of the formation.

Then, he took out a gleaming dagger, cut his finger, and dripped blood on the formation.

The blood merged into the formation, and instantly burst into a strange red light, which illuminated the entire room, reflecting Alexander's serious and ferocious face.

As the light became brighter and brighter, Alexander's spell became louder and more passionate.

Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled from outside the house, making the doors and windows clang.

The flames in the house also jumped violently, as if struggling to escape from this strange atmosphere.

At this moment, Alexander shouted suddenly and slapped his hands to the ground.

In an instant, a huge energy wave surged from the formation, rushed to the sky, and disappeared into the vast sky.

Shi Daming stood aside, not daring to breathe, his eyes fixed on Alexander's every move.

Time passed slowly in this strange silence, and every second seemed to be infinitely stretched. Finally, Alexander slowly stopped his movements. He stood up, with a trace of fatigue on his face, but he could not hide his pride and said: "It's done. Within five days, Xi Yu will definitely have a bloody disaster. You just wait patiently."

When Shi Daming heard this, he was immediately delighted, and the haze in his heart was swept away.

His originally tense face relaxed instantly, replaced by a flattering and happy smile.

"Haha, great! If it is really as the master said, I will definitely reward you in the future!" He said excitedly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Then, Shi Daming did not dare to delay for a moment, hurriedly said goodbye to Alexander, and went straight to the palace.

Along the way, he was full of joy, and the scene of Xi Yu encountering disasters kept appearing in his mind, as if he had seen that his plan was about to succeed.

In the palace hall, King Hesheli was sitting on the gorgeous throne, frowning slightly, as if thinking about many affairs of the country.

Shi Daming walked into the hall quickly, not caring about etiquette, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Good news!"

Hesheli raised his head slightly, with a hint of displeasure and confusion in his eyes.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Shi Daming hurried forward, leaned close to Hesheli's ear, lowered his voice but couldn't hide his excitement to report.

"Your Majesty, the master Alexander I found has already cast a spell. He asserted that Xiyu will have a bloody disaster within five days. Once Xiyu falls, your majesty's great cause will be accomplished!"

After hearing this, Hesheli's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.

He nodded gently and said: "This matter cannot be made public, and wait and see. If it is true, it is God who blesses us."

Shi Daming nodded quickly.

Shi Daming was immersed in the joy of overthrowing Xiyu, but suddenly a thought about Amas and the princess flashed through his mind.

He frowned slightly, took a step forward, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, I wonder if Almas has returned? How is the princess's matter going now?"

Hesheli's originally calm face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anger.

"Humph!" He snorted heavily and waved his wide robe sleeves violently.

"Almas did come back, but he said he only saw the princess jump into the well, but did not see the body. This matter is simply absurd. A princess would have such a change, and Almas failed to bring back a definite result. It really makes me angry!"

Hesheli's face was full of anger, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with Almas.

"Amas's actions were too ineffective this time, and the princess's affairs were handled so vaguely, which is really unsatisfactory. I originally wanted you to go and check what the princess's condition is now. But considering that you have just come back, I must be exhausted after traveling all the way.”

Shi Dami's heart was clear and he naturally understood the implication of the king's words and quickly responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I don't feel tired at all. The princess's affairs are of great importance. If your Majesty can trust me, I will shoulder my unshirkable responsibility. I am willing to share your worries immediately."

King Hesheli's originally frowning brow relaxed slightly, and a trace of relief and joy appeared on his face.

"It's rare for you to have such loyalty. In this case, I can't force you to leave immediately. You can rest for a day and recharge your batteries, and set out tomorrow to investigate the princess. I am waiting for good news in the palace. Don’t let me down.”

"I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust." Shi Dami bowed deeply and said firmly and resolutely, "Your majesty, not only can I do my best to investigate the matter of the princess, but it is also an opportunity. I can use the road to explore the vicinity of Yu's residence. ,dark Pay attention to his movements, and when the five-day period is up, you will know exactly what form the bloody disaster will take on him. In this way, I can report to His Majesty in time and provide accurate basis for His Majesty's subsequent decision-making. "

After hearing this, Hesheli nodded slightly.

"It would be great if you can do this. I have high hopes for you. Don't let me wait in vain. You must be careful during this trip and don't alert the snake. Whether it's the princess's affairs or Xi Yu's side, you need to do it. It’s absolutely foolproof.”

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will be like the spirit fox hiding in the dark night, quietly traveling through it without leaving any flaws. I will bring back the details of all parties truthfully to help your Majesty control the overall situation." Shi Dami held his head high and his chest was full of words. Confidence and loyalty.

After retreating from the palace, Shi Dami returned to his mansion.

He was not in a hurry to rest, and hurriedly walked into the inner room and saw the woman sitting on the couch, with a hint of joy on her face, as if she was happy for his return.

But when he said that he was going to the Han Dynasty again, the woman's smile froze instantly, and was replaced by displeasure and confusion.

"You just came back, why are you leaving again? Why does the king send you so often?" The woman frowned, with obvious dissatisfaction in her tone.

Shi Dami gently sat down next to her, put his arm around her shoulders, smiled and comforted: "This just shows that my status in the king's heart is very important. This matter is extremely difficult, and no one else can handle it except me. This is the king's job." The trust in me is also a good opportunity for me to show my talents and benefit my family.”

The woman still pouted, with a look of reluctance.

"But now that you're gone, I don't know how long it will take to come back. I'm really worried."

Seeing this, Shi Dami quickly coaxed gently: "Don't worry, my dear. I will go back as soon as possible this time. When I return, I will definitely bring you many rare treasures from the Central Plains. Don't you always care about those things?" Do you miss the exquisite silks and unique jewelry? I will bring them back to you.”

A trace of expectation flashed in the woman's eyes, but she still said sadly: "You must come back safely, don't let me be worried at home all day."

"Don't worry, my baby. I have gone through countless ups and downs, how can I be easily stumped by this errand? When I come back, we can live a better life and have countless glory and wealth." Shi Dami held tightly. holding woman's hand.

The woman nodded slightly and leaned into his arms.

Although Shi Dami also felt guilty and reluctant to let go of the woman, at this moment, he was filled with the sense of mission that he was about to embark on and the longing for future benefits.

On the other side, in the secret passage, Liu Xiaoyu and several soldiers were walking hard. The fire folds flickered, reflecting their exhausted faces.

"What kind of hard work is this? Our calves almost hurt so much that they are no longer our own." A soldier couldn't help complaining, his voice echoing in the narrow secret passage.

Other soldiers also echoed, and noisy complaints came one after another.

Liu Xiaoyu listened with helplessness in his heart. He knew the hardships of this journey, and his legs were so sore.

The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6x-on:9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!

So, he sighed softly and said, "That's it, let's rest for a while."

After everyone heard this, they all found a place to sit against the wall as if they were being pardoned.

For a moment, the only sound left in the secret passage was heavy breathing.

Liu Xiaoyu rubbed her calf, but her eyes remained firm.

"Brothers, I know everyone is tired, but we shoulder a heavy responsibility. Once the truth behind this secret passage is revealed, it may change the entire situation." Liu Xiaoyu tried to boost morale.

After another difficult journey, Liu Xiaoyu suddenly smiled.

He looked at the equally tired soldiers beside him and said loudly: "Brothers, when we were guarding the border, we mostly patrolled on horseback or sat in camps. We have never experienced such a long journey and the pain of walking in secret passages for a long time. It’s difficult for the body to adapt to the journey, so it’s so sore. But as warriors, being shrouded in horse leather is our destination. The pain of our legs and feet is nothing compared to the test of life and death on the battlefield!”

When the soldiers heard this, they straightened their spines.

One of the older soldiers wiped the sweat from his forehead and said angrily: "Your Excellency, you are right! We cannot lose our integrity as a soldier."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and their morale was restored.

They quickened their pace and continued to explore steadfastly along the secret passage.

Everyone continued to move forward along the secret passage. After walking a few steps, a soldier's eyes suddenly lit up, his face full of surprise, and he quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"Sir, there seems to be something here!" The soldier shouted in a low voice.

Liu Xiaoyu heard the voice and immediately walked over quickly.

The soldier pointed to a wall with an obvious concave place on the wall, and there seemed to be something hidden inside.

"Sir, there seems to be a book here." The soldier said while carefully reaching out to take the object out. It was indeed a book, but the pages were a little yellowed, with traces of years, as if it had been lying quietly in this secret passage for a long time.

"It seems that Wang Hu didn't find this place when he came here last time." Liu Xiaoyu looked at the yellowed book and muttered to himself.

The other soldiers also gathered around, looking at the book curiously, and talking about it.

"This book looks quite old, I wonder what important things are written in it."

"Maybe it hides the big secret of this secret passage, otherwise why would it be hidden here."

Liu Xiaoyu gently waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said: "Don't speculate, let's see what is recorded in this book, maybe it is the key clue we are looking for this trip."

After that, Liu Xiaoyu carefully turned the pages of the book, and everyone held their breath, staring at the slowly turning pages. The secret passage was so quiet that only the rustling sound of the pages was left, as if everyone was waiting for a shocking secret to be revealed.

Liu Xiaoyu hurriedly approached the fire, and with the help of the weak but flickering firelight, he carefully read the contents word by word.

The more he read, the tighter his brows frowned, and his eyes were full of shock.

It turned out that this was not an ordinary book at all, but a note left by someone unknown. It was filled with words, and the words revealed a shocking secret that could shake the entire situation.

When Liu Xiaoyu saw those key words, his body suddenly stiffened, and his heart was like a storm, and his breathing became rapid.

He never thought that such an amazing secret was hidden in this inconspicuous secret passage.

"Sir, what is written on it?" The soldier next to him saw that Liu Xiaoyu looked wrong and couldn't help asking curiously.

Liu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and slowly said: "The words on it were written by people in the Qin Dynasty, and it records that there is a treasure here."

As soon as these words came out, several soldiers instantly widened their eyes, their faces full of surprise. For a moment, you looked at me, I looked at you, and I couldn't believe my ears.

"Treasure? There is a treasure hidden in this secret passage?" A soldier couldn't help but exclaimed.

Liu Xiaoyu looked at the astonished expressions of the crowd, frowned slightly, and then asked: "Do you know the general Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty?"

Several soldiers nodded hurriedly, and one of them replied loudly: "Sir, General Meng Tian is very famous. Even if we are ignorant, we have heard of his reputation. He is a man of great military exploits and has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty."

"Well, this note mentioned that this treasure has a great connection with General Meng Tian..."

As Liu Xiaoyu spoke, he carefully examined the yellowed note, his eyes full of exploration and thinking.

When the soldiers heard that the treasure was related to General Meng Tian, ​​they became even more interested. They gathered closer and couldn't wait to see more clues from the note.

The originally solemn atmosphere in the secret passage became tense and eager because of the unexpected treasure, as if the mysterious treasure was already within reach, waiting for them to uncover its mysterious veil.

After a while, Liu Xiaoyu told everyone that Meng Tian did not die that year.

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't Meng Tian commit suicide because of falsely conveying the imperial edict? This is history known to everyone.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Liu Xiaoyu explained: "Although history records it this way, the book in my hand has a different statement."

A soldier questioned: "Can what is written in this book be true?"

Liu Xiaoyu turned the page and read slowly: "Meng Tian led 300,000 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, and his achievements shocked the emperor. However, when the First Emperor died, the treacherous Zhao Gao and Hu Hai conspired to rebel and wanted to get rid of Meng Tian. Although there was an edict of death, Meng Tian noticed the conspiracy, so he and his confidants set up a plan to escape. He replaced himself with a death row prisoner and faked his death to deceive the world."

The soldiers all widened their eyes and couldn't believe it.

An old soldier asked, "If Meng Tian is not dead, where did he go? Why is there no news about him since then?"

Liu Xiaoyu continued, "Meng Tian hid his identity and fled to the land of Baiyue in Lingnan. He knew that the Central Plains was in chaos and traitors were in power, so he used his military strategy to secretly gather his old subordinates in the southern border, educate the local people, build water conservancy projects, and build fortresses to wait for the right time."

At this time, a young soldier asked, "Does no one know his identity? Is he willing to hide like this?"

Liu Xiaoyu shook his head slightly, "Of course someone knows, but his old subordinates are all loyal and keep their mouths shut. Meng Tian is not a person who is willing to remain silent, but he is waiting for an opportunity to rectify the chaos and return the Qin Dynasty to a clear and bright future. It is said that he sent people to secretly contact loyal people from all over the country, hoping to make a comeback, but it's a pity..."

"What a pity?" Everyone asked in unison.

"It is a pity that the conflict between Chu and Han later caused chaos in the world, and the situation was beyond human control. Meng Tian finally became disheartened when he saw that the Qin Dynasty was powerless. He left only some military strategies and descendants, and passed away quietly. His legendary life , and has since been buried in the long river of history.”

After everyone heard this, they were all sighing, as if they had witnessed that period of history that had been covered up with their own eyes. (End of chapter)
