The Five Cities of Haoyue are located between the Northern Zhao Kingdom and the Southern Wei Kingdom.

The five cities are separated by a mountain, and that mountain is called Haoyue Mountain. This is why these five cities are called Haoyue Five Cities.

Hundreds of years ago, this place was a barren mountain. Because the mountains were too strange, it was difficult for people to live there. Later, some people took refuge and built houses here. More and more people were taking refuge, and people began to think of some ideas to build houses at the foot of the mountain even in such terrain. Finally, a genius figured it out. There were more and more houses, and the Five Bright Cities gradually formed.

Since the time when the city was built, there have been legends that there are immortal miracles hidden on this mountain, which even surpass ordinary immortal cultivators. Over the years, some immortal cultivators have come here, but they all returned without success and found nothing.

This seems to be just a legend.

But there are many people who have seen some luminous patterns on the mountain, and some people have encountered some strange things on the mountain.

For example, I encountered a ginseng on the way up the mountain. I wanted to get it, but I found myself at the bottom of the mountain.

For example, on a sunny day, when you walk to certain places, it will suddenly become foggy, making it difficult to tell where you should go.

For hundreds of years, many people have experienced this kind of thing, and some curious people have even combined the experiences of everyone in history to map out which areas on the mountain are off limits.

But it is impossible for the emperor of Northern Zhao to give up on such a miracle.

He worked so hard just to capture the Five Cities of Haoyue and then find the magical miracle that would allow him to live forever.

According to common sense, they should have gained nothing when they went up the mountain, but with Jiang Li's Molotov cocktail it was different.

Set the mountain on fire.

The current emperor of Northern Zhao Kingdom can do this kind of thing, and he can do things that no one else has done in the past many years.

"You are so cruel."

Jiang Li said this after listening to the eunuch's words.

The chief eunuch was a little panicked and quickly corrected Jiang Li.

“Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.”

"Whatever, it all means the same thing. So why are you telling me this?"

"After setting fire to the mountain, many strange things on the mountain disappeared. I sent some more people to check, and found a tomb there. It looked huge, maybe half the size of the mountain. I used magic tools to explore it. The result was the same, but they couldn't find out what was inside. They didn't dare to go in directly, and immediately came to report to the Holy One. The Holy One sent people to check again, and confirmed that no big shot had died in that place, and there was nothing. The dynasty changed. I checked further back and found a vague information, and found that there may not have been any mountains in that place more than 2,000 years ago."

"In other words, this Haoyue Mountain may exist because of this tomb?"

"The number one catcher of the Six Doors and Zuo Xiaoqiuwei also have the same idea."

"What does that have to do with me?"

After listening to the story, Jiang Li realized that the eunuch had not yet explained why he wanted to tell him.

Only then did the great eunuch answer Jiang Li.

"Because His Majesty heard that you are an immortal cultivator."

"Who said that?"

"... Just this morning, a black shadow flew out of your yard. Many people saw it. The immortal cultivators in the palace said that it was the devil."

"...Thief Sun."

Jiang Li cursed.

She should have made that demon lord swear an oath.

What kind of character is the Demon Lord? It is very simple to fly away from here without being noticed, but it is probably a bit difficult to be noticed.

This shows that the Demon Lord has only one plan: to let everyone in the palace know that Jiang Li has a relationship with the world of immortality, and that his status is not low, so the Demon Lord needs to see him in person.

What will be the consequences?

A better outcome would be what it is now. The emperor sent Jiang Li on a dangerous mission.

After Jiang Li finished scolding, she looked at the big eunuch again. The big eunuch was still stunned, so she quickly explained.

"I'm not talking about you. You can't have grandchildren."

"...Please also ask Miss Jiang to get ready. We will set off in five days."

The eunuch's mood had obviously changed a lot, which could be seen from his drooping face.

Jiang Li didn't care about that and asked the chief eunuch again.

"But when the Demon Lord comes to see me, no matter what you think, I should be the villain, right? So you still want me to help?"

"...No matter what Miss Jiang said, looking at Miss Jiang, she must be a lady, gentle and kind."

Jiang Li felt that the eunuch must have specifically chosen these two words to say.

she asked the system.

"System, do you have any tools that can read minds?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to know what he thinks of me in his heart."

"He should be thinking the same thing as me. Let me scold you for him."

"Do not bother."

Jiang Li rejected the kind-hearted system and looked at the eunuch in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand.

"Then you go. I'll go in five days."

"Okay, then..."

"Hey, can I go out and meet some friends?"

"Time is running out, Miss Jiang, please continue to stay here."

"……Fine."

Jiang Li could also tell that the eunuch was worried that Jiang Li had run away these days and they would have nowhere to look for him.

Before leaving, Jiang Li stopped him again.

The great eunuch could hardly hold back his anger.

"Anything else?"

"I just want to ask, after this mission, can I be free?"

"This old slave can't say anything."

"Then you tell the emperor. If he doesn't agree, I won't go. Anyway, if I really want to leave, you can't stop me. I just don't want to kill people casually. Those guards are quite innocent."

Jiang Li said it as easily as eating and drinking.

The great eunuch also felt that she could do it. After all, she was someone who could contact the Demon Lord, so he nodded.

"Then I will go and ask His Majesty for instructions."

"Please bother."

The next day, the chief eunuch came again and said that the emperor agreed to Jiang Li's request. As long as Jiang Li succeeds in taking out the immortal trace from the tomb this time, Jiang Li can be free.

"Are you so sure that there is such a magical miracle there? There is a sign at the door saying so? If there is not one inside, what should I do? I have to work hard and still can't get freedom? Don't go."

Jiang Li spoke again and sent the eunuch away.

On the third day, the eunuch came to Jiang Li's residence again and said that the emperor agreed. As long as Jiang Li takes out the immortal traces inside, he can be free.

"...But what if there are no magic artifacts inside? It's just a very ordinary magic weapon, or there's simply a corpse there. You can't guarantee that this won't happen, right? Tomb robbers can't win every business. Right? Let’s talk about it again.”

This time it was just Jiang Li who wanted to send the eunuch away. She thought it was fun.

The big eunuch looked like he was just one step away from going crazy and smashing everything in Jiang Li's residence and Jiang Li too. But where is the self-restraint? After all, he is the person in front of the emperor.

So he just left.

On the fourth day, the little eunuch came.

"Why did you change the person?"

"Miss Jiang, the emperor said that as long as you come back, you can take whatever you want."

"But what if..."

The little eunuch knelt down and begged Jiang Li.

"Miss Jiang, please leave some hope for the Emperor. You can't go and find out it's a broken grave now, right? My master was so tortured by you that he didn't even dare to come over."

"...You can bring back whatever you want?"

"Anything is fine, as long as it's from the tomb."

"That's okay. I'll go there in five days."

When the little eunuch heard this, he had already stood up halfway, but then he knelt down again.

"Miss Jiang, it's already the fourth day and we have to leave tomorrow."

"Can't we start over?"

"No, everyone else is waiting."

"There are others! Your master didn't tell me earlier! Am I the kind of person who would waste other people's time? If he told me earlier, wouldn't there be no such trouble?"

Jiang Li suddenly spoke so brightly and grandly that the little eunuch couldn't get used to it. But since Jiang Li agreed, he got up and resigned.

Jiang Li returned to the room and lay down to rest. She has asked people to tidy up the things that need to be prepared in the past few days.

She would definitely do the job of robbing tombs.

She had already committed several major crimes, including robbery, murder, arson, and kidnapping, and she had barely committed the rebellion. Now she just had to steal and dig graves.

The great consummation of life is about to be achieved.

Early the next morning, someone outside called Jiang Li, who had already packed his things and put on his night clothes.

This dress is considered a must-have for her current work.

But wearing night clothes in the palace in broad daylight really attracted attention, not to mention that what they were going to was outside the palace.

There were already a lot of people outside at this time, but they were basically royal guards, protecting the emperor's safety. Next to them were the people from Six Gates and the people from Zuo Xiaoqiuwei.

There were five people waiting there in the middle. The two men look the same, they must be twins, and they are well-equipped. A woman with a delicate appearance, dressed in six-door clothes, with a sword hanging on her left waist. A tall man carrying a large sword on his back. There is another one. Judging from his fairy-like appearance and beard, he is an extraordinary person, possibly a cultivator of immortality.

However, Jiang Li's eyes were all focused on a person in the six-door team.

Shi Qing Jue.

Jiang Li walked directly to Shi Qingjue. Just as he was about to speak, Shi Qingjue motioned to her to talk later.

The emperor arrived soon, and Jiang Li felt that he had deliberately waited nearby for a long time, waiting for everyone to arrive before coming out.

Just like the principal's speech before the sports meeting, the emperor said a lot of inspiring words. He just hoped that everyone would work hard. The future of Northern Zhao depends on them, and they would be promoted to a higher position when they come back.

Jiang Li didn't care about that, his expression was dull, and he just waited for him to finish speaking. This is a skill Jiang Li learned early in the opening ceremony of the sports meeting.

The emperor thought it was Jiang Li who saw the emperor and was too frightened to speak, feeling very happy.

After the emperor finished speaking and let them disperse, Jiang Li immediately went to find Shi Qingjue.

At this moment, the royal guards escorted the emperor away, and others escorted the five people away. Shi Qingjue said hello to the people six doors ahead, and then walked behind with Jiang Li.

"Boss, how is your life as a police officer these days?"

"Time is running out, so let's stop chatting. I don't even have time to scold you. I'll explain to you clearly the situation of the five people in front of me."

Shi Qing absolutely did not answer Jiang Li's words because they needed to disperse after leaving the capital.

Then he pointed to the people in front of him.

"Those twins are professional tomb robbers. Li Tian and Li Di. Originally, they should have been executed, but because of their superb skills, the Holy Spirit kept them, and they are sometimes used."

"For example, if you are short of money, you will steal the tombs of previous emperors?"

"Don't interrupt. The two of them were originally from the world of martial arts, and you know that people in the martial arts world are quite strange. Because they robbed tombs, they were solitary that they basically didn't talk to anyone."

After finishing speaking, Shi Qingjue pointed to the person wearing six-door clothes over there.

"That's Ouyang Qian from our Six Doors, her name is Ouyang Qian, her crime detection rate is not low, but because of her identity as a woman, she is not reused in the Six Doors. She is not a bad person, but she is strict, and treats others the same way. She treats people behind her back The possibility of stabbing is relatively small, you can contact me."

"You said so, I feel like she will definitely stab me. Small probability events are more likely to happen to me."

"I told you not to interrupt!"

Shi Qingjue gave Jiang Li a slap on the back of his head. This time it didn't hurt, it just reminded Jiang Li.

He continued.

"That tall man is from the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard, codenamed Bixi, and is directly under the Holy Emperor. I have never had contact with him. But I think he should be sent by the Holy Emperor to supervise you, to prevent any of you from running away or trying to embezzle. Looking at it this way , his martial arts may be the most powerful among you, and he may have the life gate of that immortal cultivator."

"Is he really a cultivator?"

"Yes. The man with the white beard is a heavenly master. He has always been in the court to give guidance to the sage. He is really a cultivator of immortals. I suspect the reason why he went is not because of loyalty, but because there may be real miracles in it, and he wants it."

"This is a common scenario."

"So, you must be careful about those two, because they may kill you for the sake of the Holy One or for yourself. I haven't figured out those two, so you can try it yourself. The last one, if I can win you over, win over you. With a partner inside, the chance of survival is higher.”

Shi Qingjue summed it up at the end and talked about Bixi, Tianshi, Li Tian, ​​Li Di, and Ouyang Qian in order.

Jiang Li nodded, indicating that he understood.

After saying this, he reminded Jiang Li again.

"General tombs are full of dangers, and this one is even more so. I want to apply to go with you, but there is really no way. If I go there rashly, the Holy Father may kill my father. In short, you must pay attention to safety in there , if it doesn’t work, just run away, you know how to create chaos best.”

"Okay, thank you."

Jiang Li sincerely thanked Shi Qingjue for what he had done.

Seeing that there was still some distance from the city gate, Shi Qingjue sighed again. He was really nervous about what he said just now, but now he is relatively relaxed.

"The team has been disbanded, and you can still cause trouble for me."

"Because you are a good boss."

"Is the wooden sword still there? How many times can it be used?"

"Fifteen times. In addition, I also got some new props to ensure that I can come out alive."

"That's fine. When you come back, I'll bring you some good wine."

"it is good."

Jiang Li said it, then thought about it and said to Shi Qingjue.

"Or drink it now. Practice it."

After saying that, Jiang Li took out the cup and wine from the storage space and poured them in.

The two clinked glasses, and Shi Qingjue shook his head again.

"Can't you decorate it with something useful?"
