Chapter 91 From now on, the name of Mojin is determined [Seeking follow-up reading]

Xu Huan was the leader of the tomb robbers summoned by Jia Xu.

He was followed by two deputies, a man and a woman.

The woman was in her early twenties, with a delicate face. She was pretty if you just looked at her face, but her figure was flat. She was the kind of woman with small breasts and a cool expression, who cared more about temperament than flirtation.

She walked as if she was not touching the ground, so lightly that she looked like a tomb robber.

The other man was called Li Feixiong. He was big and strong, with arms thicker than the average woman's waist.

Xu Huan looked the most normal, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a normal body shape.

The three of them were waiting outside the mansion. Li Feixiong looked up at the plaque of the prefectural mansion, and then at the soldiers standing solemnly at the door.

Elite soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons extended to the left and right sides along the wall.

It would not be enough to describe this prefectural mansion as having a guard post every three steps or a sentry every five steps.

There are four arrow towers at the four corners of the courtyard in the mansion, rising high above the wall, from which one can overlook the surroundings, with crossbows mounted on them.

The large number of soldiers and the solemn atmosphere inside and outside the mansion were chilling.

Li Feixiong was tall and strong, but he was the most timid of the three. He whispered:
"Why do I feel like this isn't the governor's mansion? With all the security and the prospect of a war, I'm a little afraid to go in."

Xu Huan said: "I have never been to a prefectural governor's mansion. Maybe it is like this everywhere."

"Last time, Jia Wenhe cooperated with us to open a tomb. He didn't show up himself, saying that the tomb was dangerous and asked us to open it while he waited fifty miles away."

Li Feixiong said, "Wu Yu's group secretly had some ideas, wanting to kill people and rob them. But they never came out after entering the tomb. Don't you think Jia Wenhe saw through their intentions and used a trick to trap them in the tomb?"

"You also said that you would stay away from Jia Wenhe in the future. Why did you rush here from hundreds of miles away as soon as he sent a message?"

Xu Huan said impatiently: "You have asked several times along the way. Don't ask more here. You will kill me sooner or later."

He added: “We can’t afford to offend Jia Wenhe.

If he wanted to harm us, he wouldn't have bothered to trick us into coming to the governor's mansion."

"I guess this might be a good thing. Jia Wenhe also said in the message that he would give us a chance."

The three were discussing in low voices when several personal soldiers came out of the mansion and took them into the mansion.

Li Feixiong entered the courtyard and saw that the security was even tighter.

The stationed soldiers stood opposite each other and kept an eye on each other, ensuring that there were no blind spots inside and outside the prefectural government.

There are more than one pair of eyes watching at every entry and exit.

This defense method inside and outside the palace was designed by Jia Xu himself.

Although Jia Xu was cautious about his life, he was a great strategist who was well versed in military attack and defense and was able to command battles.

He put a lot of thought into designing the defense of the prefectural mansion.

Not only to protect Cao Cao, but he himself also had to stay in the mansion.

Xu Huan and the other two felt more and more disheartened as they walked.

I feel like if I commit a crime in this mansion, I will be lucky to live two more breaths.

After three consecutive checks and body searches, and after being confirmed to be okay, they were taken to the study.

Jia Xu sat on the side, and Cao Cao sat in the first seat, reading a scroll without looking up.

Dian Wei, who was standing behind Cao Cao, was looking at the three people who came in.

The three people felt his gaze like a knife scraping at their bodies and were silent as a mouse.

"Give me a seat."

After reading the scroll, Cao Cao motioned for the three to take a seat.

Xu Huan carefully sat down two seats below Jia Xu.

The remaining two did not dare to take a seat alone and followed Xu Huan.

"Wenhe said that you can enter and exit the underground mausoleum?" Cao Cao said in a gentle voice.

Jia Xu said: "This is my master, Governor Cao."

Xu Huan hurriedly said, "Sir, we have learned some Yin-Yang magic and Taoism, but we don't have any special knowledge. We usually do some work just to survive."

Cao Cao was quite interested in their business.

The world was in turmoil and everyone was struggling for their lives. Tomb robbing existed in every dynasty and there were many taboos and techniques.

"Tell me about your methods. Jia Xu said that you were first passed down from the Taoist ancestor, and you also learned the methods of Yin Yang and the Five Elements?"

"We dare not insult the Dao Sect. We are merely attendants of the Dao Sect's founding ancestor, and we are descendants of one of the eight small families of the Dao Sect."

Xu Huan shrugged his shoulders and said cautiously:
“We believe in the Five Lucky Ones and the Four Bad Ones. I am the leader of the Five Lucky Ones of this generation, chosen by them to lead them in and out of Yin and Yang.

We can rely on the five elements, mountain terrain and water veins to determine the location of tombs and mausoleums." "Looking for dragons and dividing gold, look at the mountains that surround them. Each layer of mountains is a barrier, right?" Cao Cao joked.

Xu Huan didn't dare to answer it casually. What does it mean?
"Do you have any tools to enter and exit the mausoleum?"

“Not too many utensils.”

Xu Huan: "We have a few digging tools. If we can get in, we can. If we can't get in, it means that people won't let us in. We will go to another one. Even if we force our way in, we probably won't be able to get out."

Cao Cao was a little disappointed, so he used some tools to dig the ground?
He glanced at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu clapped his hands.

Four more people came in from outside the door.

These four people were the skilled craftsmen that Jia Xu had recently found using the information that Chen Ying had gathered. They were experts in making instruments.

Two old people and two young people.

The old man in the lead was short and fat, but his fingers were long, like a woman's hands, giving him the impression of being extremely flexible.

The four men were from the Mohist school. After they came in, they saluted Cao Cao, then took out a box and took things out from it:

"This is the ghost armor. If you go in and out of the underground palace and encounter a ghost, wearing it can block the yang energy and avoid disasters."

"This is the compass positioning plate, this is the hook lock for flying hooks, the tiger head chain, the yang gathering talisman, the diamond armor..."

Xu Huan and the other two were stunned.

Is this a tool made by Mohist craftsmen for them to rob tombs?

The old man shook out a piece of armor made of pangolin skin, and every blade of the armor was engraved with spells.

There are also things like dragon tendons and vaginal ropes.

“That’s starting to look a bit like that.”

Xu Huan vaguely heard the governor say with great interest, "From now on, the tomb-grabbing lieutenant has been established. If they unite, they will live; if they separate, they will die."

He didn't understand what it meant and felt a little flustered, thinking that he might not have mastered the skills well enough.

"When you entered the tomb, did you find any black donkey hooves?" Cao Cao asked teasingly.

Xu Huan said: "Sometimes we need things related to the five kinds of animals, and black is the best.

Black can absorb the Yang energy between heaven and earth, and if it is stored there, it will be useful.”

Cao Cao turned around and said to Dian Wei:

"Take out all the hooves you've saved from eating the donkey."

After a while, the imperial guards brought in a basket from outside the door. There were forty or fifty black donkey hooves in it. Xu Huan and the other two were shocked when they saw it.

Li Feixiong pulled Xu Huan and wanted to speak, but was glared at by the woman on the side and did not dare to open his mouth.

Cao Cao: "I plan to take money from some tombs to support my army, but I will not harm the remains of my ancestors. Are you willing to do something for me?"

Xu Huan hurriedly brought Li Feixiong and Hu Yu to the audience with great ceremony.

"Then show off your skills, find a decent place and fight with me."

Cao Cao said: "You and a few people from the Mo Sect under my command should work together to try not to destroy the tomb with violence."

Try it on humans first.

Several people retreated one by one, and Xu Huan and the other two felt like they had transformed into craftsmen.

The prefect said that this was called tomb robbing, and if the job was done well, he would be given the title of captain.

From then on, tomb robbing was no longer called tomb robbing, but called touching gold.

You are the governor, but I am a gravedigger. If I follow the governor, I will surely have a bright future.

study.

Jia Xu handed Cao Cao a scroll, which contained information he had collected in recent days about the personalities of officials, noble families, number of soldiers and horses, etc. in several other counties in Yanzhou.

Jia Xu, Xun Yu and Cao Cao are already considering how to gradually take control of Yanzhou.

After reading it, Cao Cao returned the scroll to Jia Xu, intending to push forward according to his opinion. Finally, he reminded him: "You should be more restrained. These surrounding counties will be ours in the future."

Jia Xu was surprised and said, "I have always been very restrained in my use of tactics."

Cao Cao thought to himself, maybe he really thought he was very restrained. Didn't he think those vicious schemes were against the will of heaven and earth?
Jia Xu: "Dong Zhuo has been keeping an eye on Chenliu. Several assassination attempts have failed recently, so he might send troops here."

Cao Cao didn't look up, and wrote a signature on a piece of paper:
"If he wants to move, let him do it. Zhang Liao wants to train his troops."

After Jia Xu left, Cao Cao looked out the window.

The turmoil in this world is getting more and more serious. It seems that the time has come for the princes to rise up.
