Chapter 334 Lead Away

"There's no need to be so formal now. Just take a rest. Someone will come and take over the post in an hour."

After Gu Junqing said this, the expression on his face became even more serious. Seeing this, the guards didn't know what to say anymore, so they just found a place to rest.

After everyone had rested, they stood up and did not stay here any longer. They picked up their swords and packages and walked forward.

The road here was not flat, and every step he took was covered with gravel and mud. Gu Junqing looked at his shoes, whose original appearance could not be seen clearly, and raised his eyes to look at the majestic and wide golden palace not far away.

Finally, he lowered his head, did not delay any further, quickened his pace and continued walking forward.

Gu Junqing brought a group of people with him, but he did not lead them directly in. Instead, he asked a few people to go in to check the situation. After making sure there was no problem, he led the group in.

The person had only been sent out for an incense stick of time, but he still hadn't returned on time. Gu Junqing's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

It would not be good for them to stay here all the time as it would be a waste of time, so Gu Junqing did not hesitate and simply reminded them to be careful. Then he turned around and walked in front to lead the way for them.

The imperial mausoleum appears to be a huge, magnificent and exquisite palace, but in fact it contains the bodies of the royal family of the previous dynasty and even the former emperor, which have always been buried underground.

It can be said that there are tombs within a radius of hundreds of miles.

But those underground are incense burners for burning incense or other things needed for memorial services.

In short, there are all kinds of things, and there are many people guarding here. Of course, these people are all subordinates of Prince Qing. Gu Junqing was only followed by two or three people. After all, if a group of people followed, the target would be too big and it would be easy to be discovered by these people of Prince Qing.

Of course, the Emperor would not allow Gu Junqing to rush to the imperial mausoleum with only a dozen people to capture Prince Qing who had stayed there for five or six years.

Five or six years is neither long nor short, but it is enough time for him to gather power and find talents in this area and use them for his own purposes.

Naturally, he brought five hundred elite soldiers to ambush nearby, but now Gu Junqing and others came back first to explore the imperial mausoleum.

Gu Junqing and three others searched the area for a while and found some small mechanism in a secret compartment.

The noise was quite loud at the beginning, and the three men were startled by the sound like scratching the wall. They looked nervous, fearing that people outside would find out they were here, otherwise they would have to face ten times more people than they had now.

Gu Junqing naturally knew what they were nervous about. To be honest, even she was startled by the noise that sounded like scratching the wall. However, her expression was still calm, which managed to calm the three people who were staring at her.

Gu Junqing looked outside for a while, listening to the sounds here, but his eyes were always looking at a small corner not far away.

From that small corner, you can clearly see what the guards guarding the imperial mausoleum outside are doing.

It's so noisy here, why aren't they making any noise? Could it be that they can't hear the noise here?

Gu Junqing was hesitant, thinking that while the door was still slowly opening, why not go outside and listen to see if the noise here could be heard outside.

However, they didn't take any action in the end. After all, the door was already half open, and they could easily get in through the small hole while it was half open.

Seeing that the other three were waiting for her instructions, Gu Junqing lowered her eyes and stopped thinking about her plan. She turned around and was the first to crawl into the half-opened hole.

Then she straightened up and looked ahead. Seeing that there was no one around, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she made a gesture, asking the three people outside to come in quickly.

Along the way, the four of them relied on hand gestures to get in. After all, this place was too empty, and a sound that was accidentally heard could be amplified several times, which really made people's hearts skip a beat.

The journey was not as easy as it sounded. They were almost discovered several times. Fortunately, there was a man who was good at ventriloquism and could make out the sound of some insects when they were about to be discovered.

Fortunately, the deeper they went underground, the more of these insects there were, so when the guards heard the noise, they thought that these insects had actually run into their area and were now busy dealing with the surrounding pests.

Gu Junqing and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this, but then they raised their voices again. They were actually looking in the direction where they were hiding.

This made the other three people hold their breath, and at the same time they thought in their hearts how likely it was that the four of them could handle these fifteen people.

They have now sneaked into the interior of the imperial mausoleum. People outside say that the closer they are to the interior of the imperial mausoleum, the stronger the guards inside will be. As for how strong they are, few people can tell.

The three of them were thinking about the same thing in their minds. As the guards who came to look for insects got closer to them, the three of them watched intently without blinking, waiting for the fight to start and preparing.

Accidents always come unexpectedly.

The few people who had been walking towards them seemed to have heard some other noise and were about to turn around the large stone pillar that was blocking their figures to find out what was going on.

As a result, because of the noise, he immediately turned around and gave up the idea of going around the stone pillar.

Seeing those fifteen people leave without any hesitation, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when they turned around to look for Gu Junqing, they discovered that the person who had been standing behind them was nowhere to be seen.

Recalling the noises just now, the three of them couldn't help but think more. Could it be that General Gu was the one who did it?

Just as I was about to have this thought in my mind, I saw a head suddenly pop up from the left corner.

There was a simple white jade hairpin on her hair, exactly the same as the one on Gu Junqing's head.

Then his face was revealed, it was General Gu.

The three of them showed joy and seemed to want to say something, but were stopped by Gu Junqing, who then ordered them to follow her and leave the place.

The three of them obeyed the order and did not stay any longer. After they left that place, Gu Junqing relaxed his serious expression and looked at them with a slightly relaxed expression.

"It's a little safer here. There aren't many people around right now. Just ask whatever you want to ask."

The three of them had nothing to ask. The only thing they wanted to ask was where General Gu had been just now.

When Gu Junqing heard the three people ask this question, he shrugged.
