Chapter 361: Digging the Grave and Opening the Coffin
"I~~I will definitely protect you! I won't let you suffer any grievances!" Huang Xiao is not a fool. Anyone who can say such words can't he say anything?
Seeing Huang Xiao holding his hands tightly, Zhao Xiner was not as shy as last time this time, and seemed to be used to it, and then she said softly: "Maybe this is God's will. I hope you don't lie to me!"
"I swear, if I lose to you, I will not die well, I~~~" said halfway, and Huang Xiao was stopped by Zhao Xiner.
"No matter what, it's my own choice." Zhao Xiner murmured.
The two of them said intimate words, but they didn't know it was dark.
Zhao Xiner, who was originally gently hugged by Huang Xiao, suddenly pushed Huang Xiao away and stood up from the chair.
"Junior Brother Huang!" Liu Dacheng's shout came from outside the door.
Huang Xiao was a little nostalgic about the warm feeling of Zhao Xiner just now. Although nothing happened to them, they opened their hearts and said some intimate whispers. This felt so good. Unexpectedly, they were destroyed by Liu Dacheng. Huang Xiao still had some doubts about Liu Dacheng. Can't he come here later?
However, when he looked outside, he realized that it was already dark.
"Oh, why is it so late all of a sudden?" Huang Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that he couldn't complain about Liu Dacheng in this matter, after all, he was coming to find him at night.
"Ah?" When Liu Dacheng stepped in, he saw Zhao Xiner standing.
"Little Liu Zi of the Prison Officer has seen His Highness the Third Princess!" Liu Dacheng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
He had seen Zhao Yunhui from afar, so he recognized her. However, he didn't know that the person in front of him was not the third princess Zhao Yunhui, but her sister Zhao Xiner.
Huang Xiao knew that Liu Dacheng had admitted his mistake, but even if he had, he would have admitted his mistake. The two of them were twin sisters, and if they were not of different temperaments, it would be basically difficult to distinguish from their appearance. However, Liu Dacheng had only seen one side from afar, so naturally he could not tell the difference between the two's temperaments.
Zhao Xiner didn't say anything. It was no longer a strange thing that she was mistaken for by these servants these days, and she didn't care.
"Then I'll go back first." Zhao Xiner said to Huang Xiao.
"I am begging to send the princess!" Huang Xiao said hurriedly.
Zhao Xiner naturally knew that something might be wrong with this eunuch coming to find Huang Xiao, and it was too late and it was time for her to go back.
Huang Xiao sent Zhao Xiner to the door and whispered: "He is one of my senior brothers, but some changes finally entered the palace."
Zhao Xiner naturally understood who Huang Xiao was referring to, nodded and said, "Don't worry. I will order someone to take care of him. It was the oral message he sent to Tao'er before?"
Huang Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "I don't know anyone in the palace, that is, this senior brother, who helped me."
"I~~I'll go back first. If I have time, I will leave the palace to find you." Although Zhao Xiner was a little reluctant, she still had to go back.
It was not until Zhao Xiner disappeared into the corner that Huang Xiao took back his gaze and returned to the house.
"Oh, junior brother, the princess is really here? I didn't expect the princess to return to the palace. It seems that my news is still a little behind." Liu Dacheng didn't expect that his junior brother really has any friendship with the third princess.
Huang Xiao knew that he regarded Zhao Xiner as Zhao Yunhui. However, Zhao Yunhui has not returned to the palace yet and is still outside. However, he did not explain much about these things.
"I've seen the princess two times." Huang Xiao smiled.
Liu Dacheng smiled. Although Huang Xiao said it lightly, he knew in his heart that his junior brother should have a good relationship with the princess. No matter what, the princess came to this remote prison in person, which would be all right. However, it was normal for him to think about it in his heart. After all, his junior brother was also a young talent in the world and a disciple of the "Poison God Valley". He was definitely the best. It was natural to be able to make the princess look down upon him.
"Okay. Let's not talk about this anymore, senior brother. Are you ready?" Huang Xiao asked when he saw Liu Dacheng carrying a big burden.
"It's ready. I have prepared paper money, candles, etc. in it. Although it can't be a grand funeral, it's still impossible to miss what you should have." Liu Dacheng sighed.
"Let's wait until the third day, and I'll send you out. You'll wait for me outside the palace." Huang Xiao said.
The two waited until the third update, and Huang Xiao took Liu Dacheng from a remote place in the palace. Taking advantage of the time when the patrol guards changed shifts, he took Liu Dacheng out first. Then he turned back and carried Eunuch Qiu's body out of the palace.
As soon as the two left the palace, they headed straight to the East City Gate.
At this time, there was a curfew and no one was seen on the street. Only some yamen police officers and some were left.
It is still very easy for Huang Xiao and Liu Dacheng to avoid these people, so the city was quickly pulled out from a city wall at the east gate.
"Senior Brother Liu, is this?" By the third update, Liu Dacheng had already talked to Huang Xiao about his intention to bury Eunuch Qiu in a grave fifty miles east of the city. Although he didn't know why he was going there, it was just that Liu Dacheng said that this was what Eunuch Qiu meant during his lifetime, so he stopped asking.
"Yes, that's there, let's go there quickly!" Liu Dacheng said with Eunuch Qiu's body on his back.
So the two quickly rushed towards their destination fifty miles away.
A few quarters of an hour later, Huang Xiao looked at the gloomy appearance in front of him. The graves were everywhere, and they were dilapidated, and even there were white bones hidden outside the soil. If it weren't for people in the world, ordinary people wouldn't dare to set foot here even in broad daylight.
"Senior Brother Liu, are you sure it's here? This is a mass grave!" Huang Xiao asked in confusion.
"That's right, it's here. Eunuch Qiu said this." Liu Dacheng nodded and said, "Junior brother, help me find a broken tombstone with the words "Kui's Tomb" written on it."
Seeing Liu Dacheng's affirmative look, Huang Xiao was speechless no matter how puzzled he was.
So he nodded and found the "Kui Family Tomb" among the countless tombs here.
After a while, Liu Dacheng shouted softly and said, "Junior brother. Here."
Huang Xiao raised his head and looked at Liu Dacheng, fifty or sixty feet away from him. He saw him standing in front of a small grave and waved to him.
Huang Xiao ran over without hesitation.
"Look. It's here." Liu Dacheng helped up a broken tombstone that was lodging on the ground and dusted the soil with his hands.
"It's true." Huang Xiao saw the words on it clearly. It was written with the four words "Tomb of Kui Family". Except for these four words, there was nothing else. Such a tombstone was a bit strange. If a man named Kui was buried here, at least he would have to indicate who had erected the tombstone and when was he erected. But there was nothing on this tombstone.
"Junior Brother Huang, let's dig up this grave." Liu Dacheng carefully placed Eunuch Qiu aside, and then took out two small shovels from the package.
Huang Xiao took the shovel blankly and asked hesitantly: "This~~This is not good, right? Dig a grave?"
Although Huang Xiao does not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods in the world, it is inappropriate to disturb the dead in this way.
"Don't worry, this grave should be empty. It should be prepared by Eunuch Qiu for himself, right?" Liu Dacheng said.
Hearing this, Huang Xiao let it go. Yes, Liu Dacheng would not come to this place for no reason and dig someone’s graves?
"Huh?" Huang Xiao suddenly stopped and continued to dig the soil because he saw the coffin under the soil.
"Senior Brother Liu, there is a coffin here." Huang Xiao said.
"Me?" Liu Dacheng was also uncertain. At that time, Eunuch Qiu asked him to bury him here. It should be an empty tomb here, so why would there be a coffin?
"Dig, dig it out and open it to see if someone is really buried here." Liu Dacheng gritted his teeth and said. He had already dug it out, so let's dig it to the end.
Seeing Liu Dacheng's appearance, Huang Xiao seemed to not give up. He secretly apologized to the owner of the tomb in his heart and continued to dig.
After removing all the soil on the coffin, Huang Xiao and Liu Dacheng both looked a little solemn.
"This coffin seems to be made of excellent wood. It is obvious that the tombstone here has been around for many years. This coffin has never decayed at all." Huang Xiao said in surprise.
"Strange, it's strange." Liu Dacheng nodded and said, "Junior brother, am I going to open it?"
"You're here?" Huang Xiao asked.
"I'll do it!" Liu Dacheng replied, and then he muttered softly, "I hope to forgive me if I disturb you. I will burn more paper money at that time, which is considered apology."
In the end, he obviously said to the owner of the coffin. If someone really buried it, he and Huang Xiao would have disturbed them.
Liu Dacheng pressed his hands against the cover of the coffin, then took a deep breath, exerted force with both hands, and then raised it suddenly, with a "click" sound, the cover of the coffin was lifted open by Liu Dacheng. After all, he was a second-rate top-grade realm, and he was a good player after all, so it was easy to open the cover.
"Empty!" Huang Xiao took a look and saw that there was indeed no one inside.
"Eunuch Qiu is right." Liu Dacheng also had a smile on his face. If there were really corpses inside, then he really didn't know what to do, "Is there a jar?"
There is only a black jar in the coffin, which is about the size of a wine jar, and the mouth of the jar is sealed.
"This is not the treasure of Eunuch Qiu during his lifetime, right? But it's just a little bit too little." Huang Xiao guessed.
"Although it is not a treasure, it is also the most precious thing in Eunuch Qiu's life." Liu Dacheng said.
"What is that?" Huang Xiao asked.
"It's Eunuch Qiu's martial arts." Liu Dacheng said without hiding it from Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiao showed such an idea on his face. He would not have any snooping about Eunuch Qiu's martial arts. After all, this was left to Liu Dacheng by Eunuch Qiu.
However, just as Huang Xiao was about to make a sound, he suddenly frowned and turned his head to look into the distance. A sinister laughter sounded in his ears: "Haha~~ It's time for us to come!" (To be continued)
