Chapter 755: Tomb Cluster

What Liu Zheng did not expect was that his act of blasting the mountain would actually yield such a surprise.

At first, he thought the tomb he encountered was just the tomb of an ordinary family. He would just have someone deal with it.

He was even a little curious, wanting to see what the tombs of the Jurchen people were like.

However.

The development of events still exceeded his imagination.

From the moment the tomb first appeared, it had no intention of stopping. The tomb they thought they found was actually just a beginning. The burial chamber they thought they found was actually just an embellishment, and the main course they thought they found was actually just an appetizer...

The sheer size of the tomb shocked everyone.

Liu Zheng, the Prince of Wei, the Prince of Yong, and the others practically ran over, and then stared at everything appearing before them in shock.

From the initial crude blasting of the mountain to the current group of soldiers carefully excavating this Tomb Cluster. Judging by the distinct sharp edges of the unearthed soil and rock, this was clearly a Tomb Cluster of considerable scale.

A Tomb Cluster!

A tomb...

When everyone saw this, the first thing that popped into their minds was... the tomb of Tuolei, the Imperial Jade Seal! Because everyone could not imagine that in a place as cold, bitter, and barren as Liaodong, such a large-scale tomb could appear. In the long river of history, the cold, bitter, and barren Liaodong should theoretically not have such a vast and continuous Tomb Cluster.

Therefore...

There was only one possibility!

The tomb of Tuolei!

Shock!

Liu Zheng was truly shocked this time. Originally, he had wanted to settle down in Liaodong and then follow the Treasure Map to search for this tomb of Tuolei, but who would have thought that his tomb was actually right here in Wangchuan!

"Seal it off! Without my orders, no one is allowed to enter!"

Liu Zheng made a prompt decision.

Crack, crack—the cold and ruthless Liangzhou Army began to surround the scene.

"This..."

"What on earth is going on?"

"What happened up ahead?"

A group of people who arrived late had no idea what had been discovered ahead; they only suddenly received orders that it was very likely they would have to spend the winter here! They definitely would not be able to reach Liaodong in the short term! Once this news broke, the moods of many people changed.

What happened to the plan to spend the New Year in Liaodong?

What happened to the grand strategy for Liaodong?

Just this?

Let them spend the New Year in these deep mountains and old forests?

People suddenly exploded; all kinds of cursing, all kinds of incomprehension, and all kinds of disturbances followed.

But.

It was useless.

The Liangzhou Army had completely sealed off the scene! No matter who wanted to go in and investigate, they would be killed without mercy! People didn't believe it at first, but after a few servants were killed, they all learned to behave. Vice Minister Liu was playing for real this time!

Suddenly.

Everyone was whispering and discussing.

What on earth happened here?

Liu Zheng, the Prince of Wei, the Prince of Yong, and Tiemu Cheng had already gathered together.

The four of them looked at each other in dismay.

Shock!

They still hadn't recovered from the shock!

The tomb of Tuolei?

Of course, it was highly likely!

"I have already sent people to Taixi Stockade to find a few experts in tomb raiding from the common folk and have them come with all speed! Hahahaha, this is truly a surprise!"

The Prince of Wei took a hearty drink of wine.

The Prince of Yong also smiled and said, "Hahahaha, it truly was effortless! If this really is the tomb of Tuolei, then we have hit the jackpot!"

Liu Zheng, however, looked at Tiemu Cheng: "Does the Khan think the style of this tomb looks like Tuolei's?"

Tiemu Cheng shook his head: "Great Khan Tuolei yearned for Zhongyuan back then and held the culture of the Central Plains in high regard. Looking at the appearance of this tomb, it is indeed possible."

"Good!"

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.

Good heavens, this sudden surprise swept away all the gloom he had felt these past few days.

Suddenly, an absurd emotion welled up in his heart.

What was he about to do?

Tomb raiding? Thinking this, he still felt some excitement in his heart; one had to know that in his previous life, he was a loyal fan of all kinds of tomb-raiding stories. And this particular tomb-raiding venture was unusual, which meant that the Imperial Jade Seal, which had been missing for hundreds of years, might reappear in the world!

As long as he obtained this Imperial Jade Seal, his position would be considered much more stable!

"In any case, this matter must be kept secret!"

The Prince of Wei said decisively.

The Prince of Yong also nodded and said, "On this matter, we must be the first to succeed!"

This concerned whether the New Aristocracy could successfully rise.

Who would have thought that Liu Zheng would smile slightly and shake his head: "No, this matter must be made known to others; not only must it be made known to others, but it must also be made known to the entire Longyan!"

"What?"

The three of them were shocked to hear this.

They could not understand why Liu Zheng would do this.

Could he not have done it secretly?

Liu Zheng chuckled: "That may be so, but this matter is not something one can profit from in silence. The three of you, what does the Imperial Jade Seal signify? It signifies legitimacy, it signifies the ability to command the world, it signifies Heaven-Given Imperial Power! Therefore, if such a thing were found secretly, how much meaning would it have?"

"This..."

Upon hearing this, the three of them realized it was indeed so.

First of all, what people in ancient times pursued was Heaven-Given Imperial Power, what they pursued was the will of Heaven. If Heaven lets you be the emperor, then you can be the emperor; if Heaven deems you legitimate, then the people of the world will deem you legitimate.

As for where Heaven is, they did not know, but they were certain it must exist.

If the Imperial Jade Seal were to appear in the world again, the sensation it would cause, provided it was done in a way that shocked the entire nation, would go without saying. If it were discovered secretly, the effect would not only be greatly diminished, but it might even be criticized by others.

Secondly, how large is this Tomb Cluster exactly? No one knows for now, but at the very least, it appears to be very large, large enough to exceed many people's imaginations.

What could exist inside this tomb?

No one knows this.

If Liu Zheng and his people were to enter secretly and something strange happened in the tomb, causing the Imperial Jade Seal to be destroyed inside, Liu Zheng and his group could not bear that responsibility. If such a thing really happened, I fear even Liu Zheng, the Prince of Wei, and the Prince of Yong would all be beheaded; therefore, announcing it to the world is also a forced necessity.

Furthermore.

Liu Zheng has a bold idea.

That is...

Since Wangchuan is a place with complex terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, then... this time, he wants to focus everyone's attention on this mountain, on this tomb! Including Xie Tianyao's, including the Old Aristocrats, including the Scholar-officials, and even including Qiao Yuan over in Liaodong, and even, in Liu Zheng's estimation, including those remnants of the Prosperous Tang that everyone talks about with fear!

He wants them all to come.

He wants to resolve the affairs of Liaodong once and for all, right here in this Tomb Cluster!

To settle the matter with a single blow!
