Extraordinary Pioneer

Chapter 17

"This game mission is based on the Huainan Hengshan case in the Western Han Dynasty."

Li Ye glanced at Wang Jingchen.

"Huh?" Wang Jingchen was a little confused, "I know about the Western Han Dynasty, but what is the Huainan Hengshan case?"

"During Emperor Wu's time, King Huainan and King Hengshan wanted to rebel, but they were overthrown by Emperor Wu because they leaked the secret ahead of time." Li Ye explained, "There are two key figures in this mission, Liu Yu and Han Jin, but they are all fabricated. These two people did not exist in history. In the text, Liu Yu is the daughter of King Huainan, and Han Jin was a general who followed General Wei Qing to fight against the Huns."

"Han Jin and Liu Yan admired each other, but because of the outbreak of the Huainan Hengshan case, Emperor Wu wiped out the Huainan royal family. Although Liu Yan was seriously ill at the time, Emperor Wu decided to bury him alive. In order to see Liu Yan for the last time, Han Jin went to the Kneeling in front of Weiyang Palace and begging Emperor Wu, blood flowed from his forehead, but he failed to get the consent of Emperor Wu. Then came the key point of the mission. On the day Emperor Wu buried Liu Yu alive, Liu Yu disappeared for no reason. Our task is to find Liu Yu .”

Wang Jingchen understood it this time, he thought for a while, and showed a look of surprise: "Brother Ye, I think Liu Min's disappearance must have something to do with Han Jin!"

"Um……"

Li Ye nodded, it was obvious.

"But why didn't Emperor Wu send someone to investigate Han Jin's clue?"

Wang Jingchen had doubts again.

"Ah……"

Li Ye looked at Wang Jingchen, frowned slightly, stretched out his palm and patted his fat face lightly: "Use your brains, aren't we the ones sent by Emperor Wu? The soldiers of the northern army under Zhijinwu's command!"

Swish!
Li Ye and Wang Jingchen's eyes blanked.

Both of them have had similar experiences, and this is about to enter the game dungeon.

……

The wilderness outside Zhongnan Mountain is paved with loess and overgrown with weeds.

Li Ye and Wang Jingchen suddenly appeared.

"Is this the equipment bestowed by the system?"

Li Ye first observed the surrounding environment, and then looked at the changes in himself and Wang Jingchen.

The clothes the two wore when they entered the game had disappeared, and they were replaced by coarse linen clothes, only with swords around their waists and a piece of identity card of the Northern Army soldiers in their arms.

"Fortunately, I changed my clothes, otherwise it would be embarrassing to wear a bathrobe to do tasks."

Wang Jingchen muttered.

Before the start of the game, he was about to have a couple bath fight with the girl he just got, but he didn't expect to be pulled into the game copy suddenly.

"Brother Ye, what shall we do next?"

Wang Jingchen seemed to follow Li Ye's lead.

In Wang Jingchen's eyes, Li Ye is definitely an extraordinary and pioneering game veteran.But what he didn't know was that Li Ye, like him, was a freshman who had just passed the novice mission.

"There is a hint in the background of the game. Let us start looking for clues from Zhongnan Mountain. It should refer to the tomb of Lord Weng where Liu Yan is to be buried."

Li Ye planned the process of completing the task in his mind.

"My Lord?" Wang Jingchen was puzzled again.

"The princess of the Western Han Dynasty is called Wengzhu."

Li Ye explained casually, as if thinking of something: "What is your ability?"

"My ability?" Wang Jingchen scratched the back of his head, "Speed, I run fast."

"Um……"

Li Ye didn't realize that a fat man's ability was actually speed.

Thinking of a fat man running as fast as a galloping horse, Li Ye felt a little unnatural.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ye and Wang Jingchen asked several old farmers who were farming on the side of the road, and found out the location of Lord Weng's tomb.

"Is this the tomb of Lord Weng Liu Yu?"

Wang Jingchen looked a little surprised.

Around the tomb of Lord Weng, there is a circle of guards with swords in their hands and full of armor. Their eyes are piercing and their bodies are full of evil spirits. They are obviously soldiers who have been on the battlefield.

"Brother Ye, Liu Yu is also a descendant of the rebellion, why can he be built into the tomb of Lord Weng by Emperor Wu?"

Wang Jingchen didn't understand.

"It's probably a small trick to temporarily stabilize the other kings."

Li Ye replied.

Before the Huai'an Hengshan case, Emperor Wu had already planned to cut down the vassal, and the outbreak of the rebellion also gave Emperor Wu an excuse.However, in order to maintain the stability of the clan, Emperor Wu may have also shown a superficial compromise.

"who?!"

Just when Li Ye and Wang Jingchen came into contact with Weng Zhu's tomb, they saw two burly soldiers with spears striding forward, looking at Li Ye and Wang Jingchen cautiously.

The two soldiers stared at Li Ye and Wang Jingchen, as if they would kill them on the spot if they made an out-of-the-ordinary move.They had already received the order to be more cautious about all changes around Lord Weng's tomb, and to shoot and kill any suspicious person they found.

At this time, Li Ye and Wang Jingchen were dressed in coarse linen, with swords at their waists, looking like typical rangers.In the Western Han Dynasty, rangers were an important factor that disrupted social stability.

"We are the Northern Army under Zhijinwu's command. We are ordered to investigate some things and need to enter the tomb of Lord Weng."

Li Ye replied without changing his expression.

"The northern army sent by Master Jinwu?"

The expressions of the two soldiers changed.

"Wait a minute, I need to ask for instructions."

After one of the soldiers finished speaking, he trotted all the way and disappeared.

Soon, the soldier came out with a middle-aged man. The man had a beard and looked like a lieutenant colonel. He carefully sized up Li Ye and Wang Jingchen.

"Why are you two here?"

The middle-aged captain frowned.

"My lord should know better than us what happened in Lord Weng's tomb."

Li Ye clasped his fists as a gesture, but his tone seemed a little unkind.

The middle-aged lieutenant was not angry either, and his words sounded a bit reminding: "You two say that you are members of the Northern Army, do you have any evidence? We are ordered today, and we will investigate all suspicious persons near the Lord Weng's tomb."

"This is our identity, and the warrant of Master Jinwu."

Li Ye handed the equipment equipped with the system around his waist to the middle-aged captain.

Li Ye lowered his voice: "Presumably, my lord should also know the truth of the matter. If the incident in the Lord Weng's tomb is spread, it will damage the majesty of the present. We came here to say that it is the order of Lord Jinwu, but in fact it is the order of the present. Order."

Hearing this, the middle-aged captain took a deep look at Li Ye and Wang Jingchen, and returned the identity token and Jinwu's warrant to Li Ye: "In this case, please come in. If you have any questions, both of you are welcome." Ask me."

Li Ye nodded, pulled Wang Jingchen and the middle-aged captain aside, and said in a low voice, "I want to know what was unusual about the day the Lord Weng disappeared?"

"There are no unusual traces..." The middle-aged captain said cautiously, "The Lord was seriously ill before he was buried. When we brought the Lord, the Lord was coughing up blood in the sedan chair... But today there is an order, It is still better to send the Lord Weng into the sarcophagus in the tomb. Since the Lord Weng was buried alive, we must know the exact time of the Lord’s death, so we have to open the coffin a second time to confirm.”

"The problem arose at this time. When the coffin was opened for the second time, the Lord Weng disappeared. I don't know if he is dead or alive."

The middle-aged man looked solemn and told the truth.

"Is that so..."

Li Ye's eyes froze after hearing this, and he had some guesses in his heart: "Go, let's take a look inside the tomb of Master Weng!"
