Except for the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, it is located in Yingtian City.

The remaining emperors of the Ming Dynasty are buried at the foot of Tianshou Mountain outside the capital.

night falls

Hundreds of people roared towards a small village.

This is the village of the tomb-keepers who guard the imperial tombs.

Once the emperor of the Ming Dynasty passed away, there would be exclusive mausoleum guards to guard the imperial mausoleum, which would be passed down from generation to generation.

Guarding the emperor's mausoleum is not considered voluntary labor, and the pay of the mausoleum guards is pretty good.

You have no worries about food and clothing, military pay is generally not deducted, and you don't have to fight on the battlefield. It's a good job.

In a few years, these tomb guards, together with their families, naturally formed a small village.

"Let the responsible official here come to see me."

Zhang Juzheng got off his horse, took a look at the gloomy night, let out a sigh of relief, and took the lead into the village meeting hall.

That's it, there's nothing to think about.

"Master Lin, please."

Qi Jiguang walked to Lin Xuan and said with a smile.

He specializes in poetry and prose, is knowledgeable in classics and history, and can be called a Confucian general of his generation.

Although he fights bravely, he speaks in a gentle and gentle manner, which makes people feel like spring breeze.

Somewhat similar to Xu Da, the famous founding general.

"Senior Yu please, Senior Qi please."

Lin Xuan nodded, looked at Yu Dayou not far away, and smiled.

Since Qi Jiguang came according to Jianghu status, Lin Xuan was too lazy to change his name to Qi Shaobao or Yu Zongbing.

That’s it to collectively refer to them as seniors.

Yu Dayou managed the two Zhejiang provinces, and Qi Jiguang drove across the Fujian Sea, both of which belonged to the country's Qiancheng.

However, unlike Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou liked to travel in the world when he was young.

There is a lot of charlatanism in the way he behaves, and he is also much more straightforward in his speech.

Many officials in the court couldn't stand him. Sometimes he won battles, but was impeached and removed from office for no apparent reason.

Now he is old and strong, but his temper is still quite irritable.

Probably a longevity version of Chang Yuchun.

"These days, young people who have mastered martial arts to your level are considered unparalleled...unparalleled in the world."

Yu Dayou laughed loudly and patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder: "Those who still know how to respect their seniors are unique."

"..."

Yaoyue was stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes secretly, and walked into the meeting hall side by side with Lin Xuan.

In the past two days, she and Lin Xuan had discussed with Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang several times.

Unexpectedly, these two famous generals were extremely skilled in martial arts.

Although not as good as Dongfang Invincible.

But it is much better than masters like Fang Zheng and Chongxu.

For such a strong man, Yaoyue felt that she had shown enough respect for Lin Xuan's sake.

Even the titles became "Lao Yu" and "Lao Qi".

But for some reason, these two old men still looked dumbfounded.

It was obvious that Zhang Juzheng smiled very flatteringly when he heard "Old Zhang".

Well, it shows that these two people are not good at nourishing Qi. No wonder their official position is not as good as Zhang Juzheng's.

Yao Yue felt that she understood some official rules.

"I have seen you sir."

A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform hurried over.

Seeing the python robe Zhang Juzheng was wearing casually, the man suddenly trembled with fright and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Strictly speaking, given the man's rank, he still couldn't recognize the meaning of this gift.

But Zhang Juzheng has been in power for a long time, and his mere official authority is enough to overwhelm him.

"...Get up."

Zhang Juzheng frowned, a little confused about how to address the other person.

It has been a long time since Zhang Juzheng had been in contact with such a low-level official, so Zhang Juzheng was not used to it...

"Are all the tomb-guarding father-in-laws who are on duty here?"

Feng Bao coughed and asked aloud.

"Eunuch Liu has been the only one here in the past few years."

"Eunuch Liu said that he always liked peace and wanted to live alone. So he chose a piece of land on the hillside behind the village."

"Everyone helped him build a wooden house and regularly sent him clothes and food."

The village chief thought for a while and reported the truth.

"Then what is Eunuch Liu's full name?"

"Eunuch Liu said his name is Liu Ji."

"It's this person..."

Feng Bao nodded and sighed.

"You really know how to come up with names..."

Zhang Juzheng was speechless and shook his head: "You go out first, we will be in trouble later."

"Yes, I will take your orders."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief, walked outside quickly, and stood still.

In front of Zhang Juzheng, he didn't even dare to take a breath.

"Then Liu...is Eunuch Liu the Patriarch Sunflower?"

Yu Dayou was a little puzzled: "A master like this has been living in a place like this, and his life is not very particular."

He still has some respect for Qingtian Mr. Liu Ji and Liu Bowen.

The old eunuch dared to take his name casually, so it was inconvenient for him to follow him and scream.

"That man has lived for at least two hundred years, and he must have no longer cared about these external things."

"Although this place is a bit shabby, next to it are the tombs of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. According to Kan Yu, it is a place where dragon energy gathers."

"Although the Imperial City is like this, people come and go. Even if you have extraordinary martial arts skills, it is difficult to remain undiscovered."

"Based on that person's behavior, he probably doesn't want to be too shocking."

"If I'm not mistaken, this person has changed several identities and has been staying here since the death of Emperor Chengzu."

"And this person always goes to Yiling alone every time, living in isolation and hiding from others."

Feng Bao smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, it was Lord Xu who discovered something was wrong in the recent incident, and our East Factory found out about the eunuchs guarding the mausoleum."

"You, the Imperial Household Department, are a bit casual in choosing the eunuchs guarding the mausoleum."

Yu Dayou snorted, not afraid of offending people.

"Hey, this is not a good job, not many people are willing to come."

"Basically, they are some old people who are not in power and have been demoted. Some people really can't make it in the palace, so they come to guard the mausoleum in order to live a few more years."

"They are all miserable people. As long as they report to the Imperial Household Department, they will basically not reject it."

Feng Bao sighed, "Who would have thought that a top master who has practiced martial arts to this level would do something like this."

There was no such thing as a photo database in that era, and it was basically a simple manual check.

This kind of job that few people would go for even if they paid money, and it was never thought that there would be any problems.

"That makes sense. If I were... Bah!"

Yu Dayou frowned: "Since it is confirmed that it is this person, let's go and take a look."

"Since the other party is such a master, it is useless to have too many people."

Qi Jiguang pondered: "Except for the soldier who leads the way, I, Old Yu, Master Lin and Master Yaoyue will go, and the others will act according to the plan."

"Well, Eunuch Feng and I will stay here and wait for good news."

Zhang Juzheng hesitated and sighed.

He was actually interested in meeting this kind of peerless person.

But you can imagine how terrible it is to fight at this level.

If he, the prime minister, died suddenly for no reason because of watching the excitement...

Zhang Juzheng himself couldn't get over this.

***

Walk up the hillside for a few hundred meters, and you can see a wooden house.

The surroundings of the wooden house are clean.

Even the firewood piled on the side is neatly stacked.

"Eunuch Liu, someone is looking for you."

The village chief led everyone to the wooden house and knocked on the door.

"What do you want to see me for?"

As soon as the voice fell, the wooden house opened, and a middle-aged eunuch walked out slowly with a calm expression.

The eunuch had an ordinary appearance, wearing a white robe, and his temperament was calm and profound.

Gives people an extremely mysterious feeling.

It seems that the eunuch has merged with the world, without distinction.

The unity of man and nature?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan glanced at Yao Yue and found that the girl had frowned.

"Then I can't explain it clearly. It seems that this posture is not right."

"Did you steal something from the palace when you came here, Eunuch Liu?"

The village chief's voice was somewhat sympathetic: "As I said, return the things. At most, you will be beaten with a stick, and you can still survive."

The eunuchs who were exiled were weak and often offended people, so they were easily bullied by their former colleagues.

The village chief had encountered several similar things before.

As for whether it was really stolen, it is unclear.

But if you pay the money, you can probably avoid disaster.

"...You said I stole something from the palace?"

The middle-aged eunuch was silent for a while, looking at the village chief with a smile.

"Just admit it as I said."

"The eunuchs from the East Factory are here this time, and they are not easy to talk to."

The village chief patted the middle-aged eunuch on the shoulder and whispered, "You are wasting time, and I will beat you to death when the time comes. It will be pitiful."

"..."

The middle-aged eunuch lowered his head, looked at the hand on his shoulder, and suddenly showed a strange smile: "You are right, I did take some things."

"It was stealing, not taking."

Yu Dayou said coldly: "Old eunuch, since the matter has been committed, you should die honestly."

"You dare to speak nonsense in front of me after practicing a few half-hearted spears, sticks and swords?"

The middle-aged eunuch said coldly: "Don't you think you are Zhang Sanfeng?"

"Although I am not as good as Master Zhang, I am also enough to kill traitors."

Yu Dayou snorted coldly and grasped the hilt of the Jingchu long sword at his waist.

Before the sword was unsheathed, a piercing murderous intent surged, chilling into the bone marrow.

"Ah? You..."

The village chief had goosebumps all over his body. He hurriedly let go of his hand and looked at Yu Dayou.

"You brought us here and have completed your mission. Other things have nothing to do with you."

Qi Jiguang waved his hand: "You go back first."

"Yes, yes, good!"

The village chief felt relieved and stumbled back two steps.

"It's better not to leave."

At this time, the middle-aged eunuch raised his head and glanced at the village chief.

"Hmm? What did you say..."

The village chief showed a confused look in his eyes, and then his body swayed and fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.

"...Sword in the pupil?"

Qi Jiguang was stunned, his face looked a little ugly: "Who are you?"

"I haven't used my name for more than two hundred years, and I can't remember it."

"But don't worry, I haven't practiced to the point of killing people with my eyes, don't put the legendary novels on me."

"He just patted my shoulder, and I sent a wisp of true energy to break his heart veins, that's all."

The middle-aged eunuch said lightly: "You disrespect me, you deserve to die."

The vast and ethereal momentum burst out from him, like the wind and rain, rolling towards Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang.

"When martial arts reach such a level, will you also be as knowledgeable as secular people?"

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, joined forces with the two to block the sudden burst of momentum of the middle-aged eunuch, and asked.

"If a dog barks at you, will you kill it or let it bark?"

"Just scream."

Lin Xuan glanced at the middle-aged eunuch and said calmly.

"..."

A smile appeared at the corner of Yao Yue's mouth, and she quickly returned to her iceberg form.

"Hmph, a person who is about to die is just using his words."

"I am lucky enough to be in the Ming Dynasty. I cannot attack people in the court at will. If I take the initiative to kill this person, it will cause some harm to me."

"But now that you have come to me, I am not subject to such restrictions."

The middle-aged eunuch looked at the corpse of the village chief and let out a sigh of relief: "This man is also long-winded and behaves like a mother-in-law. I wanted to kill him several years ago. Today, thanks to you, I finally got my wish."

"So, are we dragging this brother down?"

Yu Dayou frowned, seeming a little regretful.

"This is what his fate is. Since you have come to our door today, the tomb guards in the village are also your accomplices. I will kill them all."

The middle-aged eunuch said calmly: "There is a man in the village who is very lucky and has an extremely precious life. He should be the chief assistant of your Ming Dynasty, right? Very good! Killing this man will be worth ten years of my work."

"presumptuous!"

Yu Dayou was furious, Jing Chu took out his sword and pointed it at the middle-aged eunuch.

Let’s finish writing this copy tomorrow, and choose something easier for the next copy. All dungeons should have historical backgrounds and corresponding historical figures. For example, in a certain Ming Dynasty martial arts dungeon that will be followed, people like Wang Yangming, Zhu Houzhao, and Tang Bohu should appear. Basically all dungeons will involve luck, faith, merit, etc. thing. If you really don't like it, the author is also sorry...
