Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

"A secret passage!"

Qian Wanguan said decisively:

"Chen Shao must not know about the secret passage, so he thought the Yellow Turban Army was after him. That's why he's willing to offend all of us and fight to the death!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

The logic is complete.

That seems to make sense.

"So, what does Professor Qian mean?"

"Please wait here a moment, everyone. I will personally tell him about the secret passage."

He turned and walked towards the Prince's Mansion, but after taking two steps, he stopped.

He smiled at the people behind him:

"Gentlemen, this is human nature. He wanted to burn his bridges in a desperate situation, but I gave him a chance to escape."

"If he used the secret passage, how much of such a vast fortune could he possibly take with him?"

"Haha, that's just human nature!"

Immediately, a chorus of praise arose in front of me: "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."

......

Looking at the wealth filling the room, Chen Shao's eyes almost narrowed into slits.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the side quest: Replenish the national treasury. You have been granted one chance to draw a prize. Do you wish to draw a prize?]

(Please remember 1110.com for the fastest chapter updates)

"This system is really something," Chen Shao thought to himself, "it keeps giving out all sorts of rewards."

"smoke."

A scene of starry sky unfolds.

The scene made his lips twitch slightly.

A familiar face, Prime Minister Cao!

In the scene, the prime minister is smiling as he sized up a plump and beautiful woman in front of him.

"Am I familiar with Zhang Xiu?"

It turned out to be Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zou.

Chen Shao sometimes had to admire Prime Minister Cao; putting everything else aside, his aesthetic sense was exactly the same as his own.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Emperor Card and obtained the entry: Tomb Raider!]

[Tomb Raider: You are an expert in the art of locating tombs and are skilled at excavating entrances to mausoleums.]

You're even quite skilled at digging tunnels.

Dig a tunnel?

Chen Shao was at a loss as to how to use it.

But he devoted all his attention to finding the perfect burial site.

Is it a serious matter to extract this term from this image?

Just then, a message came from outside the door from the Dragon Subduing Gang brothers:

"Your Majesty, Qian Wanguan requests an audience, saying he has a tremendous secret to offer you."

"Oh? Let him in."

......

As soon as Qian Wanguan entered, he saw Chen Shao staring blankly at the finance department.

This further solidified his suspicions:

This person is greedy for money beyond measure!

If there were even the slightest way to leave this place, they wouldn't fight to the death.

Staring blankly at the treasure, are you thinking about how to get it out?

Hey.

Qian Wanguan knelt down with a thud.

His face was full of sincerity.

"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about this all the way back, and the more I think about it, the more ashamed I feel."

"What are you ashamed of?"

"I am ashamed. Your Majesty's personal presence in Weibo for the sake of the country and its people is a blessing we have accumulated over many lifetimes."

"But we are failing His Majesty's grace."

"My return is truly due to a change of heart; I have a great secret to tell Your Majesty."

Chen Shao then took it seriously.

"What secret?"

Qian Wanguan looked up and pointed to Wu Song, who was standing right at the door.

"Your Majesty, please dismiss everyone."

"We're all on the same side, so just say it."

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhao is extremely cowardly and has already prepared a way out for himself when he was enfeoffed."

"He dug a secret passage in the back garden of the palace, leading directly outside the city."

"This matter was kept extremely secret. Apart from King Zhao himself and this old man who was forcibly dragged to supervise the construction back then, no one else in the entire Weibo knew about it."

"The more I think about it, the more I feel that such a secret should not be kept from Your Majesty, so I have come to report this!"

A secret passage?

Chen Shao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked in return:

"Why tell me? Aren't you afraid I'll run off with the money?"

This blunt question caused even the shrewd and resourceful Qian Wanguan to momentarily freeze.

Chen Shao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, take me to see this."

......

Qian Wanguan quickly got up and eagerly led the way.

The group walked through several corridors and arrived at the back garden of the Prince Zhao's mansion.

The garden is quite grand, with artificial hills, stacked rocks, and winding streams.

Behind an artificial hill, Qian Wanguan pushed aside the waist-high bushes.

"Your Majesty, he's right here."

Chen Shao had someone open the tunnel door, and a damp, rotten smell immediately rushed out.

"What's going on?"

Qian Wanguan hurriedly explained, "Perhaps the King of Zhao felt he had nothing to worry about and neglected to manage things over the years."

"Um."

Chen Shao had someone escort Qian Lao away.

After he walked away.

"Wu Song, come down with me to take a look. The rest of you stay up here and keep watch. Qian Lao, you go down too."

Normally, he would never have stepped in personally.

But now that we have the [Tomb Raiders], maybe we can make something of it.

Did they build tunnels to launch a surprise attack on the Yellow Turban Army?

Chen Shao took a torch from one of the Dragon Subduing Gang brothers and stepped into the secret passage first.

After walking down the stone steps for more than ten steps, there was a narrow passageway in front of us, only wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

Wu Song was fully focused on vigilance to prevent any unforeseen events.

Chen Shao walked along, examining the secret passage.

It has to be said that with the "Tomb Raider" entry, he has essentially become a tunneling expert.

He could readily recall all sorts of authentic knowledge from his mind.

"It's an absolutely shoddy construction project!"

"This is a huge problem."

Wu Song asked with curiosity, "Your Majesty is also an expert in this matter?"

"Anyone who's dug up graves is good at this."

Chen Shao began to give his opinions on the state of affairs.

"The drainage wasn't done, the ventilation openings were blocked, and the spacing between the columns was too large to support the earthwork pressure at the top."

"It's a good thing that King Zhao never came down, otherwise he would have been smashed to death inside."

"When I have some free time, I'll give it a good makeover."

Wu Song was astonished by his extraordinary talent!

As the passageway came to a close, a few rays of light began to fall.

The opening was like the mouth of a well. Chen Shao climbed up and pushed aside the wooden planks above.

The two of them had just emerged from the secret passage when they froze, completely stunned.

Around the exit, there were tents one after another.

In the distance, a group of soldiers with yellow turbans on their heads were walking towards them.

"This means I've reached the enemy's lair!" Chen Shao complained wildly.

It was clear that the other party had noticed them, and it was too late to go down now.

Wu Song touched the sword at his waist. "Your Majesty, I can help you break through the encirclement."

"Don't be impatient."

The sky was beginning to lighten, but the night was still deep.

The face was blurry and indistinct.

The soldiers simply shouted at the two men:

"What are you still leading! Hurry up and eat! We need to eat well to attack the city! The general has given the order that we must take Weibo City today!"

The soldiers left, grumbling and cursing, to patrol other areas.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty?" Wu Song pointed to the well opening.

Chen Shao shook his head.

"Don't rush to leave. It would be good to gather intelligence first. Anyway, this secret passage is safe."

...

A moment later, the two men took off their outer garments, wrapped their heads in yellow turbans, and swaggered into the Yellow Turban army camp.

The soldiers were preparing a meal, but the discipline was impeccable, and there was no sign of panic.

Chen Shao nodded to himself as he walked.

He had seen the character of those seasoned soldiers in the Three Battalions and the carefree attitude of the Wei Bo garrison.

But this army, though ragged and poorly equipped, possessed an indescribable spirit and energy.

The campsite was chosen to be in a sheltered spot, with the hearth far away from the haystack.

The patrolling sentries marched in unison, and there were very few instances of soldiers urinating or defecating indiscriminately.

This indicates that there must have been a dedicated military law enforcement team in the camp, and that they enforced the law quite strictly.

"This Chen Jiao is quite a character."

Chen Shao's biggest shortage of talent was talent, and even though he was in the enemy camp, he developed a fondness for talent.

Ideally, this person could be made to work for me.

Chen Shao had already imagined various scenes of Zhuge Liang capturing Meng Huo seven times and Guan Yu releasing Yan Yan out of righteousness.

Wu Song whispered beside him:

"Your Majesty, judging from this man's military tactics, Weibo is in grave danger!"

"The ruler of Weibo is utterly corrupt, and even with the conscripts he took last night, he doesn't have 15,000 men. They can't possibly withstand 25,000 elite troops!"

Chen Shao neither agreed nor disagreed.

"Attack a city is ten times harder than defend it, and the outcome is still uncertain."

After watching for a while, the two prepared to return to the tunnel and go back to prepare for the enemy.

Suddenly, I heard a rapid horn sound behind me.

Signals of a set.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps echoed from all directions.

The soldiers who were squatting on the ground eating put down their bowls and chopsticks, grabbed their weapons, and ran to the open space in the center of the camp.

The speed and precision of their movements secretly alarmed Chen Shao.

He and Wu Song hadn't even had time to retreat to the entrance of the secret passage.

They were swept along by the surging Yellow Turban soldiers and carried towards the assembly point.

The two dared not resist and could only follow the flow of people forward.

In the open space in front of the camp, Chen Shao finally saw the legendary Yellow Turban general, Chen Jiao.

To his astonishment, Chen Jiao was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a peach wood sword.

He walked in the Yu style, circling around the water vats in front of him, muttering incantations.

"Perform a ritual!" Chen Shao was very familiar with this matter.

The Yellow Turban Army relied on this to fight.

He felt a sense of relief.

In that case, it will never amount to anything.

The surrounding soldiers watched the general perform the ritual in silence, not daring to make a sound.

Chen Jiaoran slammed the peach wood sword onto the table, grabbed a stack of talismans, and lit them on the incense burner.

Shouting:

"When the heavens are clear and the earth is at peace, all things come into being. A spark of spiritual light, talismanic water, communicates with the divine. Above, we offer sacrifices to the Three Pure Ones; below, we benefit all people. Wherever our decrees reach, no evil can invade!"

laugh!

The ashes of the burning talisman were scattered into the water vat.

Several Taoist priests behind him chanted in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized:

"The Six Armor Divine Soldiers protect my golden body, making me impervious to swords and spears, and unaffected by water and fire. Heaven above, bless me with peace!"

The ritual is now complete.

Several Taoist priests scooped out the talismanic water from the vat, one ladle at a time, and distributed it to the soldiers in the front row.

Then they stuck the talismans on each of their chests.

Chen Shao felt he had a hundred ways to expose them.

Theirs are all fake; only your own Liuding Liujia is real.

He also had talismans affixed to his body, and a bowl of talisman water in his hand.

"This is a deceptive trick..."

The people around them had already raised their bowls and swallowed all the talisman water in one gulp.

What happened next completely shocked Chen Shao.

The soldiers' eyes quickly hardened and hardened.

He exuded a fearless and resolute spirit!
