The general's wife took her child on the road to exile

Chapter 15: The Remaining Soul of the Prince of Li's Mausoleum Complains about the Injustice

It was almost late autumn, and the group of exiled prisoners had already traveled nearly half the distance. It was estimated that it would take them another month and a half to reach the Southern Wilderness.

The chief constable Zhang Liu shouted at the team to move forward quickly.

Gu Zhilan from the third room was so tired that her eyes turned black and she almost fainted, but she gritted her teeth and insisted on moving forward. Recently, Gu Zhilan's heart has gradually turned darker.

Every day, Gu Zhilan watched from afar as the first and second wives of the Gu family lived a carefree life, with the chief police officer not restraining them, while her own third wife and the other prisoners were suffering.

Gu Zhilan gradually became psychologically distorted from the childish state of a girl in the boudoir. This was a gradual process.

As the beloved daughter of the third master of the General's Mansion, Gu Zhilan had some conscience. Her shortcoming was that she was willful and domineering. Because she was spoiled by Gu Yiwen, she became more overbearing and self-centered. Originally, she was not a bad person.

Now, although Gu Zhilan looks weak and shy on the surface, she has actually become a black lotus.

After walking all the way, the master and concubines of the third branch of the Gu family were exhausted and out of breath. They had different thoughts and were no longer harmonious as they were in the mansion.

During the exile journey, Gu Yiheng also suffered a lot on the stretcher. It hurt every time he was bumped around, and it was impossible not to be bumped around. So Gu Yiheng, who was used to the pain, gradually adapted to it. Today, Gu Yiheng was lying on the stretcher, secretly experiencing the changes in his body.

Gu Yiheng discovered that there was something wrong with his meridians. His upper dantian felt faintly hot, and there were signs that his internal energy was flowing slowly. It was not all over his body, but his dantian felt a slight tingling and numbness.

But there was no movement in Gu Yiheng's lower dantian. All his internal strength was stored in his lower dantian.

Gu Yiheng turned his head to look at Ye Jiu. He wondered suspiciously whether Ye Jiu's daily treatment had taken effect and the part with less toxins was gradually beginning to flow through his internal energy.

Most of the poison in Gu Yiheng was forced into his legs. Too much toxin in the legs would cause serious blockage of the meridians in the lower body.

Gu Yiheng didn't know that if Ye Jiu hadn't used his wood-related supernatural powers to warm his poisonous meridians every day, his bones and muscles would have been broken, and Gu Yiheng would have died soon.

The second master, Gu Yinan, walked in front of the Gu family team, and next to him was Gu Qingfeng, who was carrying a backpack with his grandmother sitting inside. The uncle and nephew walked very fast with their long legs.

After a while, Gu Qingfeng took out a dried shrimp and put it in his mouth. He chewed it happily. Next to him, Gu Yinan reached out to his nephew.

Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment. He took out a handful of dried shrimps and put them in the hand of his second uncle Gu Yinan. The two of them walked forward, kicking the dirt on the road and chewing the dried shrimps.

Aunt Liu looked at her husband and her eldest nephew behind them, she smiled and shook her head. Aunt Liu's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and now her eyes were smiling into crescents. She supported the bottom of the basket on her back with both hands and continued to run forward.

Here, the eldest grandson of the third house, Gu Qingyu, was exploring the path of cultivation bit by bit. On the other side, the daughter of the third house, Gu Yulan, was holding a purse wrapped in grass leaves in her hand, and she was quietly missing the little brother who gave her the purse.

There were ripples in Gu Yulan's beautiful eyes, which looked unusually gentle. Her small face, which was the size of a palm, was dirty, her clothes were wrinkled, and her hair was very rough. This girl had been running around on the road with the other prisoners, and she was tortured to death.

The same pain, Gu Yulan did not feel dissatisfied, unlike Gu Zhilan who became mentally twisted, on the contrary, she envied the life of her aunt. Seeing her aunt's life, Gu Yulan was deeply envious. She still remembered the delicious food her grandmother stuffed into her mouth and the sweet water. Gu Yulan's physical strength was enhanced after drinking the spiritual spring water. She finally did not fall behind despite the bumps and bruises along the way.

Gu Yulan was always cared for by Aunt Lu, so she was relatively safe throughout the journey. The only thing was that she was cold and hungry most of the time, which made Gu Yulan very tormented.

The third master, Gu Yiwen, walked with unsteady steps and a blank face among the exiles. Gu Yiwen only said many of his complaints but did not take any action. What a coward, he did not dare to act.

The official road was filled with dust and smoke from the trampling of the prisoners. There was a mountain shadow not far away, but when I looked closer, I found that it was not a mountain, but the tomb of King Li.

The Tomb of Prince Li is the tomb of Qilian Li, the father of the retired emperor of the Dayu Dynasty.

It was the first time that Ye Jiu saw an ancient tomb up close. This was not the data image she had looked at in the information database stored in the base, but a real building that looked magnificent and domineering.

The smoothly polished stone steps go up one by one, gradually increasing all the way to the top of the mausoleum.

The Mausoleum of King Li is a bit like the shape of today's pyramids, but the difference is that there is no pointed top. Like the pyramid temple used for sacrifices in the picture, you can climb up by climbing steps.

There are several groups of stone sculptures in front of the mausoleum. They are the mythical beasts guarding the mausoleum. The mythical beasts stand in front of everyone with ferocious faces. The carvings are very exquisite and look like real mythical beasts, even with manes. The eyes of these mythical beasts are inlaid with black jade, and the tips of their claws are made of gold.

The soldiers guarding the tomb were all dressed in black armor, standing tall. They held sharp weapons in their hands, had cold faces, and looked very fierce.

Ye Jiu looked at her a few more times out of curiosity. The soldiers guarding the mausoleum glared at her one by one. Ye Jiu retracted her gaze and complained in her mind, why are you so fierce? What's wrong with just a few glances?

The chief officer Zhang Liu commanded the prisoners in the exile team to keep quiet and march quickly. The officers waved their whips but dared not shout or make any noise. Everyone hurried on their way.

Ye Jiu's mental strength was very strong. She noticed that there was a vibration underground a few hundred meters away from the mausoleum. Ye Jiu looked carefully and found that it was a group of tomb robbers who were digging a hole under the mausoleum.

It is estimated that these thieves planned to take the burial objects from the tomb through the tunnel. The tomb was filled with rare treasures collected from various countries and a large amount of gold and silver. The most precious of them were several statues made of a rare whole piece of icy jade.

The ice jade here has a natural aura and carries the same energy as spiritual stones.

It’s just that the people of Dayu Dynasty are unable to extract the energy inside.

Thinking of energy, Ye Jiu's heart moved. There must be good things in the tomb. She could go and take a look later.

Ye Jiu remained calm, her cold eyes and eyebrows were expressionless. Ye Jiu glanced at the guards and followed the exile team to leave the towering and huge Mausoleum of King Li.

The prisoners walked another 15 miles, and the chief officer Zhang Liu ordered them to stop and rest. He asked everyone to take turns to go to the toilet and arranged for the officers to distribute steamed buns.

Gu Yiheng was lying on the stretcher, looking at the stretcher next to him. The man in blue on the stretcher was sleeping with his eyes closed. Because his injuries were very serious, the man in blue was sleeping most of the time.

Gu Yiheng noticed that his face had turned red, and then he looked at his eyebrows and eyes carefully. He glanced at the face of the man in blue and saw that his eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyelashes were thick and curved, his nose was very high, and he had petal-shaped lips with a lip bead.

For a moment, Gu Yiheng was depressed again. His wife changed the dressing and took the pulse of the man in blue every day. Gu Yiheng knew that his wife was working hard to save people, but as soon as Gu Yiheng saw the face of the man in blue, he would start to have confused thoughts.

The enchanting face of the man in blue...Does his wife like it?

Gu Yiheng knew that his wife liked his face, and he was very confident. Now that he saw that the man in blue was extremely handsome, Gu Yiheng was afraid that his wife would be tempted if she looked at him for too long. He looked at the man in blue, feeling so depressed and upset.

Ye Jiu brought over a large tube of freshly heated broth, a very fragrant antelope broth with tiny bits of mushroom and mutton floating in it.

Ye Jiu planned to let Gu Yiheng eat something that was easy to digest and chew. These grains were the size of minced meat, and some of the meat grains were already minced and melted in the mouth.

Ye Jiu gave Gu Yiheng some spiritual spring water to drink, then wiped the corners of his lips. Ye Jiu used a bamboo spoon to feed Gu Yiheng soup, one spoonful at a time. There were shredded steamed buns in the soup.

Gu Yiheng looked at Ye Jiu lovingly, and that tender look made Ye Jiu's ears red. Ye Jiu complained in his heart, you said you were just having a meal, but you looked at me like this, this is too much to bear, what should I do?

Ye Jiu blinked her eyes, her phoenix eyes sparkling, and she spoke gently: "Husband, we have arrived at the Mausoleum of Prince Li. Do you know when this mausoleum was built?"

Of course Gu Yiheng knew it, but he was just wondering why Ye Jiu asked this. This was something everyone knew.

After thinking for a while, Gu Yiheng briefly described when the Mausoleum of Prince Li was built, how much manpower and money it took, and which concubines were buried there.

Ye Jiu nodded, indicating that she was just curious because the mausoleum was built very majestically.

Gu Yiheng was eating steamed buns with soup, and the man in blue clothes named Yu Xiaogongzi who had just woken up next to him was looking at them silently.

Young Master Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking, his benefactor is so beautiful, but is dragged down by this paralytic, what will she do in the future? Young Master Yu felt that since Gu Yiheng was already disabled and could not bring happiness to Ye Jiu, the future Gu family would be a quagmire and abyss of pain for Ye Jiu.

Young Master Yu couldn't bear to see his benefactor suffer like this, so he had to find a way to help him out of this predicament.

How to get Ye Jiu to leave?

He was thinking about letting Ye Jiu escape, and then taking Ye Jiu back to live with him in Zhuli Dynasty. Young Master Yu felt that what he did was a good thing, as it could be regarded as saving his benefactor from suffering.

This way his kindness can be repaid.

Thinking about the ending, a dark light flashed in Young Master Yu's eyes.

A real man should make decisions when necessary. Now his benefactor is in exile. He has to work hard all the way and think about finding food, and he also has to feed the paralytic. The benefactor himself can't even eat well...

As Young Master Yu thought about it, his heart ached and he began to feel resentful towards Gu Yiheng.

After the prisoners finished eating, they lay down on the ground to rest.

The third branch of the Gu family and the other exiled people fell asleep quickly. Ye Jiu got up and sprinkled medicine powder along the outside of all the people. This was the powder to prevent the wolves from coming. She wanted to go and see what was going on, and was afraid that something would happen if she left them to sleep.

Ye Jiu lay there silently waiting for time. She used her consciousness to fiddle with the space and prepared some weapons and put them together. Ye Jiu also put some medicine powder separately.

By the second watch, everyone was fast asleep, even the officers who were watching the prisoners.

Ye Jiu entered the space and put on a night-time invisibility cloak. She came out of the space and waved her hand to sprinkle a handful of sleeping pills.

The drug could not wake everyone up for two hours, so Ye Jiu waved her hand to collect the people from the first and second branches of the Gu family and sent them into the bamboo building in the space. She teleported to the Tomb of King Li.

After arriving at the mausoleum, Ye Jiu saw that the soldiers guarding the mausoleum were already asleep. Ye Jiu waved her hand to disperse the sleeping pills, then turned around and teleported to the top of the hole dug by the tomb robbers.

Ye Jiu quietly watched the big bags filled with gold, silver and jewelry being carried out one by one by the tomb robbers. Ye Jiu was happy. It seemed that the protection system of these ancient people was too easy and a group of thieves actually succeeded.

Ye Jiu quietly put all the bags into the space and continued to watch the fun.

After waiting for half an hour, the group of people came up and saw that the ground was empty. Everyone looked at each other in surprise. There were more than thirty large cloth bags in total, and they were all gone. How was this possible?

The short tomb robber who came up later had a bad temper. His name was Luo Er.

Luo Er was so angry that he yelled, "Cao Sanmaizi, you are such a fucking inhuman. We worked so hard to dig the hole and you dare to keep it all to yourself. You are so brave, take it out." Then he drew his sword.

Ye Jiu was tired of watching these people. Their performance was just like in a storybook. There was nothing new or original.

Ye Jiu waved her hand and everyone fell to the ground. She put all the fallen people into the space and kept them separately.

Ye Jiu tucked up a strand of hair that had fallen on her forehead and walked into the cave leisurely.

Ye Jiu put a high-intensity flashlight on her head. She looked at the cave wall as she walked, and complained in her heart that it was too backward. Digging in this way would require a lot of manpower and time, and it would be more prone to landslides.

After walking for a long way, Ye Jiu entered the back hall of the mausoleum. Ye Jiu saw several jade-carved statues standing in front of the coffin. The jade statues were ice blue and very transparent. They were the best high-ice jadeite, a rare material in the world. The jade statues had gentle eyes, and their eyes were inlaid with black jade, looking lifelike.

What a way to enjoy yourself, Ye Jiu thought to herself. She stretched out her hand to touch the surface of the jade statue. Something strange happened. Ye Jiu found that she couldn't take her hand off. What was going on? Was there glue on it?

Ye Jiu used a little strength, but her hands were still firmly stuck. Ye Jiu thought that she should try another method.

Ye Jiu closed her eyes and used her supernatural powers to probe into the interior of the jade statue. She found good things inside. Ye Jiu used her ice powers to slowly extract the spiritual energy from inside. After a quarter of an hour, her hands were no longer sticky. She took her hands away and looked at the dim portrait. The corners of Ye Jiu's lips curled slightly.

Ye Jiu walked towards another jade statue. As she got closer, she realized that the statue looked very familiar and was 40% like Gu Yiheng. She wondered, who from the Gu family was carved like this?

How mean and vicious it is! How could one do such a thing that damages one's moral character?

Ye Jiu placed his hand on the portrait and closed his eyes to sense it. He discovered that in addition to spiritual energy, there was actually a residual soul inside. Ye Jiu felt horrified.

The royal family's behavior is too vicious. The soul of a person is extracted while he is still alive, sealed, and then stuffed into a jade statue. The soul cannot be reincarnated and will become weaker and weaker.

For a moment, the cold and aloof Ye Jiu was furious. Usually, Ye Jiu liked to read storybooks in his spare time, but those were fictional. If the descriptions in the stories became reality, Ye Jiu, who came from the end of the world, would not be able to accept it.

Ye Jiu recalled for a while. She had seen jade slips in space describing these things before.

There are many jade slips for cultivating immortals in the space. You can put them between your eyebrows and they will enter your sea of ​​consciousness. When Ye Jiu has time, he will pick out a few interesting ones to read.

What Ye Jiu learned about opening her sea of ​​consciousness was all described in the ancient books in the space. She read and did as she was told, and one day, by chance, she opened her sea of ​​consciousness.

Normally, because Ye Jiu has high-level supernatural powers, she does not need to work hard to learn the techniques of cultivating immortals. She is rather lazy and just plays with the many jade slips related to cultivating immortals.

Ye Jiu chanted a spell and formed seals with her hands at the same time, and saw a remnant soul floating in front of her. This remnant soul suddenly came out of the jade statue. He was a little uncomfortable, and the soul shadow became fainter and fainter.

Ye Jiu asked him, "Who are you and why are you in the jade statue?" The man paused and asked who Ye Jiu was. Ye Jiu said, "My husband's face is similar to yours. He is Gu Yiheng from the Gu family."

The soul shadow was shocked. The woman in front of him turned out to be his descendant’s wife. For a moment, he couldn’t help but feel sad.

The remnant soul began to describe everything, but before he finished, he could not hold on any longer. Ye Jiu supplied him with some spiritual energy to make the image of the remnant soul more solid.

After hearing everything, Ye Jiu was suddenly speechless, looking at the fool in front of him - the ancestor of the Gu family.

You said you were so brave in battle, and when the world was at peace, you must have been stupid and trusted your brothers so much. It has always been like this. Who can you blame for being so miserable now?

Ye Jiu was angry, and after muttering inwardly, she took out the soul-nourishing jade from the space. She recalled the contents of the jade slip, and directly formed a seal and chanted a spell to put the residual soul into the soul-nourishing jade. She sealed the soul-nourishing jade with a protective talisman and put it into the space. She used her consciousness to place the soul-nourishing jade next to the spiritual spring pond with abundant spiritual energy, and the soul-nourishing jade was next to the small golden lotus with dancing leaves.

Ye Jiu closed his eyes and absorbed the spiritual energy from the jade statues. After that, he put the several jade statues into the space.

Ye Jiu came to the coffin, which had been opened and in a mess. All the good things had been taken away. Ye Jiu sealed the coffin and put it into the space.

She planned to let her husband rack his brains to figure out how to retaliate against the Gu family’s enemies because she was lazy.

Then Ye Jiu waved his hand and put all the things in the hall, including the decorations, into the space, including the many luminous pearls that illuminated the walls, the mermaid lamps, some large ornaments, and the jade tiles on the floor. These extremely luxurious items cost the blood and sweat of countless people in the Dayu Dynasty.

After that, Ye Jiu came out and took away everything in the middle hall and the front hall. After they were all empty, Ye Jiu wrote two words directly on the wall: "Heavenly Punishment".

After Ye Jiu finished all these, she came out of the tunnel and walked to the ground of the mausoleum.

Ye Jiu teleported back directly. Everyone was still sleeping soundly. Ye Jiu waved his hand and released the Gu family.

She waved her hand to cancel the effect of the drug, went back to the tent and lay down with her husband, falling asleep in a second.

Ye Jiu had a beautiful dream...
