The information they found out must have been heard from others.

After hesitating for a moment, Miao Chengtian still shared a rumor whose veracity was uncertain:

"It is said that a beautiful young woman from Xinjiang has appeared by the young marshal's side, and the two are inseparable..."

The Empress was so startled that she didn't even realize the red apple in her hand had rolled off and been snatched away by Mei Guo.

"He must be from the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. I'll send someone to find out his background immediately..."

As Xuan Jingtian was speaking, the Empress abruptly interrupted him:

"Is she pretty? Does she have a good figure?"

The two women were taken aback at first, then realized that the Empress was clearly feeling threatened, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?"

The Empress gave a haughty snort:

"I'm just afraid he'll be blinded by lust and unknowingly fall under the spell of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave."

"We understand, we all understand."

Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian laughed even more heartily.

In the past, they certainly wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous, but with the young marshal, everything is different.

"This humble servant greets the Empress."

At this moment, Ji Ruxue entered the neighborhood, carrying a letter.

She always handled the correspondence between Qin Chuan and the Empress, and this time was no exception.

"What did he say in his letter? Did he mention the girl from Raojiang?"

The Empress still harbored resentment towards that beautiful young woman from the frontier and kept pressing her for answers.

"The letter only said that we shouldn't concern ourselves with the Qianling Mausoleum, and nothing else..."

Ji Ruxue blushed as she spoke:

"The rest were all private conversations..."

If you remove the part about Qianling Mausoleum from this letter, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a love letter to the Empress.

"You think you can just send me away with a letter?"

Despite saying this, the Empress still happily read the contents of the letter.

She spent almost half an hour reading those two short pages of letter before carefully putting them away.

"What do you think, should we go to Qianling or not?"

The Empress asked the three women for their opinions in a serious tone.

"The young marshal said we don't need to worry about it, then..."

Xuan Jingtian wanted to say she wouldn't go, but the Empress told her to shut up and gestured for Miao Chengtian to speak.

Miao Chengtian could tell at a glance that the Empress clearly wanted to go to Qianling to check on the young marshal and that beautiful Jiang girl, but just needed them to give her an excuse.

After thinking about it, Miao Chengtian actually gave an impeccable reason:

"Others go to Qianling for the Longquan treasure, but we just go to pay homage to the former emperors of the Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, that's the serious thing to say!"

The Empress nodded in satisfaction, lifted the beaded curtain, and said to the three women:

"To pay homage to the late Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, let's set off for Liangshan!"

Qin Chuan was unaware that the Empress was on her way to catch them in the act of adultery.

He had already met with Chi Meng, Li Xingyun, and the others.

As expected, Li Xingyun suffered from his soft heart and was tricked and coaxed by Shangguan Yunque and Wen Tao into going to Qianling.

He originally didn't want Lu Linxuan to get involved.

But when Lu Linxuan heard that Qin Chuan would accompany Li Xingyun to Qianling, he insisted on coming along.

Because a certain old geezer had already made this matter known to the whole world, the entire Liangshan was filled with people who coveted the Longquan treasure.

Li Xingyun was afraid of being recognized, so he disguised himself.

However, when he saw Chi Meng, who was quite intimate with Qin Chuan, he immediately forgot about hiding his identity and burst out:

"You still dare to flirt with other women even after having Lin Xuan by your side? I, Li Xingyun, will fight you to the death!"

Before Qin Chuan could even speak, Lu Linxuan blushed and retorted on his behalf in response to the enraged Li Xingyun:

"Senior brother, there's no chance for us to even get together! Besides, isn't it normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines?"

"Junior sister, what kind of bewitching potion did he give you?"

Li Xingyun instantly went from furious to extremely depressed.

Qin Chuan is just a little stronger, a little more handsome, and a little more talented than him, right?

Why does Lu Linxuan like this guy so much?

Is there no justice left in this world?

What frustrated Li Xingyun even more was that because of his shout, everyone around him had gathered around, looking at him with ill intent, like wolves and tigers.

"The Grand Preceptor of the Great Liang is here too!"

Suddenly someone shouted, recognizing Qin Chuan.

Everyone's gaze immediately changed.

They became wary, timid, and even cowardly.

They dared to bully Li Xingyun, the last descendant of the Li Tang dynasty, but dared not oppose the Grand Preceptor of Liang.

But they were unwilling to give up the Longquan treasure.

Just as everyone was in a dilemma, Qin Chuan spoke with a smile:

"This master is willing to share the treasures of Longquan with everyone, but let me make it clear beforehand that there are many traps in Qianling Mausoleum. Those who want to live should give up."

Everyone was quite surprised that he was so easy to talk to.

No one took his warnings seriously.

They wouldn't believe it was true if there were no risks involved in finding the Longquan treasure.

"Now that everyone has made up their minds, Brother Wen, I'd like to trouble you to find the entrance to the Qianling Mausoleum."

Qin Chuan gave a cold laugh and spoke to Wen Tao, a professional tomb raider.

He has already given warnings, but none of these people have given up. They are courting death and deserve to die.

"The entrance to the Qianling Underground Palace is right under the stele without inscription. This way."

Wen Tao had already located the Qianling Mausoleum's underground palace and led the way towards the entrance.

Those people followed closely, scrambling to get ahead.

Qin Chuan and his group were actually at the very back.

Chapter 78 The Depravity of Human Nature, Total Annihilation

Is the Qianling Mausoleum's underground palace truly fraught with danger?

Li Xingyun suddenly asked Qin Chuan in a low voice.

"Why do you think Yuan Tiangang made me go down with you?"

Qin Chuan glanced at Li Xingyun and realized that the emperor's saintly heart had acted up again.

As expected, Li Xingyun's expression changed upon hearing this, and he questioned:

"With your strength, you could have easily scared them all away! Why send them to their deaths?"

"They're courting death, why should I stop them?"

Qin Chuan laughed coldly as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Hundreds of lives have been lost here! How can you bear to watch them die in Qianling Mausoleum?"

Li Xingyun said angrily.

"How many lives are lost in this world? Why do you only care about your own carefree and leisurely life, while turning a blind eye to those who are suffering in this chaotic world!"

Qin Chuan snorted coldly, his sharp words striking straight to Li Xingyun's heart.

"With regional warlords each harboring their own ulterior motives, the people's support and the world's peace will not be restored simply because of an emperor with the surname Li!"

Li Xingyun defended himself by saying:

"To restore order to the world, we must not rely on emperors, nor on you scoundrels, nor on Yuan Tiangang! We must rely on the wisdom to unite the hearts of the people and bring everyone together!"

"After saying all that, you haven't even considered trying it yourself!"

Qin Chuan snorted coldly repeatedly.

Li Xingyun was qualified to be a wise ruler, as evidenced by his original trajectory, in which he replaced Yuan Tiangang as the new head of the Bad Guys.

But Li Xingyun had been running away from Yuan Tiangang until his death.

He never even considered stepping forward to save the common people in this chaotic world.

But here are the pitiful, greedy people blinded by greed!

It's absolutely ridiculous!

Li Xingyun was speechless.

"If you want to save these people, go ahead and see if they thank you or hate you!"

Qin Chuan said one last thing and then said no more.

"Hate me?"

Li Xingyun looked puzzled, not understanding why he was hated by these people for saving them.
