I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Old Madam Xiao moved her lips twice, but before she could open her mouth to cover it up.

Xiao Yunzhan spoke first, "This place is very close to the Royal Cemetery. This passage may lead to the Royal Cemetery. It is not surprising to see the dragon and phoenix candles."

Hey!

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunzhan sighed deeply in his heart.

He saw with his own eyes Lin Yiran using the imperial seal to hit someone, so it was not surprising for him to take out a pair of dragon and phoenix candles.

But, Miss Lin, could you please not just take it out and not think of a good excuse?

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran helplessly.

"Yes, that's right. The royal cemetery is nearby." Old Madam Xiao echoed.

After Xiao Yunzhan's reminder, Mrs. Xiao realized that they had actually walked near the royal cemetery, so it was not surprising to see the dragon and phoenix candles in the cave.

So many craftsmen participated in the construction of the royal cemetery back then, but in the end none of them got out alive.

This dragon and phoenix candle might have been hidden here by the craftsmen, who were planning to take it away, but the hole was too small for them to get out.

"What if we meet the gravekeeper? Wouldn't that be..." The second sister-in-law frowned and looked worried.

Xiao Yunzhan took Lin Yiran's candle and lit it, then looked at his second sister-in-law.

"Don't worry, the grave keepers are all up there, and we're down there now. Just walk lightly, and we shouldn't run into them."

The grave keepers are only guarding the entrance to the royal cemetery, not underground, so they are still safe for now.

When Lin Yiran heard that this road might lead to the royal cemetery, her eyes lit up instantly.

Wow, there is such a good thing. Her space is still a little empty.

"Let's hurry on. If the group above turns back, we will be attacked from both sides."

Lin Yiran hurriedly urged.

Now that I'm here, how can I just go back like this?

Judging from the footsteps above, there are at least sixty or seventy pursuers. It will be difficult for them to fight them.

"That's right, let's go."

Xiao Yunzhan glanced at Lin Yiran, then led the way forward holding a candle.

When the sisters-in-law heard that they would enter the royal cemetery, they were all very worried, except Lin Yiran, who seemed a little impatient.

What does she want to do?

Xiao Yunzhan frowned, becoming more and more confused about Lin Yiran.

With the candles lighting the way, the road became much easier to walk on.

The further you go in, the more spacious the cave becomes.

After walking for about half an hour, more and more human bones were found on both sides of the cave.

At first there was just one corpse, then there were several corpses hugged together.

As she walked along, Lin Yiran did not find the legendary pile of white bones. All the bones were black, and it was obvious that they had died of poisoning.

It is really immoral for the royal family to build a mausoleum and bury so many outstanding craftsmen with the dead.

Madam Xiao kept muttering all the way, "It's a sin, don't look at it if it's inappropriate..."

The third sister-in-law grabbed Xiao Linghui's hand, her face pale with fear. This was the first time she saw so many human bones.

Xiao Yunzhan looked at the twisted corpse and guessed that this escape route should have been made by these craftsmen.

But before they could get up, they found out that they were poisoned, so they crawled back to find the antidote, so the corpses were scattered all over the place, some were crawling on the ground, some were curled up...

This has always been the case with the royal family. All the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the royal mausoleum had to be buried with the deceased.

It seems that they really entered the royal cemetery by accident, but they don’t know whether they can find the exit.

If you really can't find it, you have to return along the original route.

Xiao Yunzhan frowned tightly and continued to walk forward along the cave with everyone.

Du Tianli, who was tracking the Xiao family at full speed in the cave, started cursing again.

"Damn it, where are the people? Ah!"

Du Tianli's voice was hoarse and he shouted without any momentum.

The guards listened to Du Tianli's angry duck-like roar, standing by and panting, not daring to say a word.

How would they know where the Xiao family had gone? They had clearly followed the trail.

As I chased, the traces disappeared, and the people were gone too.

"Are you all dead? Didn't you find anything? Ah!"

Du Tianli glared angrily at the guards around him.

The guards met Du Tianli's gaze and all lowered their heads.

What could they discover? There were so many people that they couldn't hear anything.

I listened carefully and ran over to take a look, and saw that it was all my own people walking and breathing heavily.

With just seventy or eighty of them rushing into the forest, the birds and beasts flew faster than ghosts. It would be strange if the Xiao family didn't know they were chasing them.

"A bunch of trash."

Du Tianli looked at the guards who were tilting their heads, and he wished he could chop them all to death with one knife. Anyway, if he couldn't survive, no one else would be able to survive.

They chased with all their might, but ended up running out of energy and still didn't see any of the Xiao family members.

Judging from the traces of life left by the Xiao family, they should be not far away from them.

Du Tianli pursed his cracked lips, looked ahead, and then looked back.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and gave orders.

"Ten of you go east, twenty of you go back, ten of you go west, ten of you go south, and the rest of you follow me to search nearby. Don't miss any caves."

"I don't believe that a person can fly. He must be hiding in a cave."

"Just search this hill. If you see a cave, blow the drug in. They should be nearby."

Du Tianli squinted his eyes and scanned the nearby mountains.

The guards nodded in response and immediately ran away.

There is strength in numbers. In less than half an hour, the nearby caves were thoroughly searched by the palace guards.

No caves, big or small, were left out.

The guards were all very obedient. When told to find a cave, they looked for a cave. None of them lowered their heads to look for a cave in the ground. Who could have thought that there were caves in the mountains?

After searching for a long time, they found nothing else, but they did discover the tampon that their third sister-in-law had changed in the corner of the cave.

Du Tianli was holding a thin cotton rope, frowning as he looked at the blood-red cotton-like thing hanging from the rope, and a thousand horses were galloping through his heart.

How many hemostatic products have the Xiao family's private soldiers developed? This thing is obviously used to suck blood from the wound after being wounded by an arrow.

It seems that the arrow wound on Xiao Yunzhan's leg has become more serious, and so much blood has been lost.

Du Tianli took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped the tampon, then pointed to two guards and asked them to quickly send it back to present to Emperor Wu of Liang.

"Humph~ It seems they have already noticed that we are chasing them, so they won't walk on the ground."

Du Tianli sneered and looked up at the tree, then waved his hand.

"Chase! They can't get far."

No matter how powerful the Xiao family's private soldiers are, they won't be able to run for long even if they carry so many old, young, women and children and use light skills to run.

After confirming that the Xiao family had not hidden and were still ahead, he felt relieved.

"Pay attention to the caves. Don't miss any of them."

After saying that, Du Tianli took a deep breath, raised his sore legs again, and ran forward.

Since his life is at stake, he must do his best.

Du Tianli, with his guards who were as tired as dogs, plunged into the mountains again.

.......

"Is this all gold?"

Lin Yiran looked at the golden candlesticks on both sides of the cave, her eyes shining with excitement.

Each candlestick is carved with exquisite patterns. It cannot be considered as just gold, it is an antique.
