The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 2
"Boss, what should we do now?" Another person asked.

Xiwan stood still in place, looking at the cliff in front of her with her eyes. The depth was bottomless, but the width was only about [-] meters, and the black ice wire could send her there.

"You guys stand by where you are, and I'll go over to see the situation first." After thinking for a while, Xiwan decided to go alone to find out.

Xi Wan turned on the switch of the black ice wire on her wrist again, and in an instant, the black ice wire shot towards the opposite side of the cliff like a snake, and then wrapped around a stone pillar on the opposite bank.

After tying the black ice wires at both ends of the cliff, Xi Wan put the pulleys on her wrists, and then slid along the black wires to the opposite side of the cliff.

After arriving at the opposite bank, Xi Wan put away the cold black iron wire, held the exploration flashlight, and continued to walk deep into the ancient tomb.

A few minutes later, a stone gate appeared again in front of it. This stone gate was obviously much finer than the previous one. The stone gate was about three meters high and two meters wide. It was also polished with a huge piece of white marble. , engraved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes, under the dragon claws and phoenix tails, there are auspicious clouds. It takes thousands of years of vicissitudes, but the patterns still retain their original appearance.

A pure aura emanated from the tomb, and Xi Wan was secretly excited: "This is the main tomb most likely."

Based on her research on archaeology, Xi Wan quickly found the mechanism to open the door of the tomb.

"Boom." With a loud noise, the white jade gate slowly rose, revealing the ancient tomb that had been sleeping for thousands of years.

At this moment, Xiwan was excited, shocked, and almost all interjections could not describe her heart at this moment.

When the door of the tomb was opened, the rotten atmosphere of the ancient tomb did not arrive in time, but a fresh air came in instead, and it was not as dark as other ancient tombs, only the interior walls were dotted with stars, and the whole building The tomb is illuminated.

Stepping into the tomb, there was a bang, and the stone door lowered automatically. After being disturbed for a moment, Xi Wan recovered her calm expression.

The tomb is very large, about [-] square meters in length and width. The walls are repaired with high-quality luminous jade. In the center of the tomb is the crystal coffin bed of the tomb owner. Dressing tables, bronze mirrors, screens with pictures of maids, curtains, carved tubs, tables with eight immortals, etc.

After Xiwan looked around, she walked slowly towards the crystal coffin.

When Mu Xiwan saw clearly the owner of the tomb, his heart skipped a beat.

"How could that be?" Xi Wan said in surprise.

This thousand-year-old female corpse actually looks like a living person, with a rosy complexion, smooth and fair skin that can be broken by blowing bullets, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that the appearance of this ancient corpse is similar to her as if carved out of a mold.

Xi Wan gently unscrewed the crystal coffin lid, trying to find the dragon and phoenix blood jade, when suddenly the woman in the coffin bed opened her eyes in horror.

Surprised, Xiwan instinctively met the woman's gaze.

The gaze of the female corpse seemed to have magical powers, making Xi Wan unable to get rid of it, and their eyes met.

Xi Wan only felt dazed, and the female corpse's eyes were like an endless whirlpool, causing her to sink. Slowly, her vision was pitch black, and Xi Wan lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

The capital of Nanheng Kingdom, Hanyang City is very lively at this time, the street vendors are constantly hawking, and the streets are full of people with horses and horses.

"Scatter, scatter quickly." A few vicious yamen servants holding knives and notices coaxed away the people who blocked their way, and went to the gate of the city.

The yamen servants posted the notice on the most visible place at the gate of the city, and they all left in a hurry.

After all the yamen servants had evacuated, several people timidly discussed: "What does this notice show?"

"Isn't it going to increase taxes?"

"Whoever says it's not, the imperial list notice is probably not a good thing."

"Keep your voice down, such rhetoric will offend the officials."

"Yes, yes, officials are something we ordinary people can't afford to mess with."

"Come on, go and have a look and you'll know everything, maybe it's not a notice of tax increase." A bold man in the crowd said.

The man took the lead to walk to the front of the notice, and several people followed hesitantly. Slowly, a group of spectators gathered around the notice.

At this time, a woman squeezed into the crowd with all her strength.

I saw a two-foot-square notice posted on the city wall.

"What is written on this notice?" The woman looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't read a single word, so she turned her head and asked.

There happened to be a literate man beside her, and he immediately told her: "As stated in the notice, Xi Wanqing, the fifth daughter of the Marquis of An Guo's concubine, was scheming and vicious. She poisoned and killed her brother Xi Yunjie regardless of family affection. He can be punished, and he has nothing to do with the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, and the governor of Jingzhao Mansion has found out what happened, so he beheaded Xi Wanqing at [-]:[-] p.m. today."

As soon as the man's voice fell, the crowd exploded.

"Such a vicious woman deserves to be killed."

"Yes, it should be killed."

"I heard that Xi Zhuyan, the daughter-in-law of An Guohou's mansion, often takes the blame for this vicious woman."

"The number one beauty in our Nanheng country is kindness. Fortunately, the Marquis of An Guo is wise and found out that the culprit is Xi Wanqing. Otherwise, it would be a pity to damage the reputation of this number one beauty in vain."

"God is open-eyed, even dare to poison his own brother, such a person should be punished by heaven."

"At three quarters in the afternoon, everyone must go to the execution ground to see what happens to this vicious woman."

"Yeah, we must go and see."

In the crowd, what you say, what I say, every sentence is criticizing Xi Wanqing.

Near noon, the scorching sun was in the sky.

Escorted by a team of officials, a prison van drove slowly from the entrance of the street to the execution ground. There were already crowds of people on both sides of the street.

On the prison cart, there was a female prisoner in ragged clothes, covered in blood and disheveled hair. The female prisoner kept looking forward, her eyes seemed dull and lifeless. It was obvious that she had been severely tortured in the prison.

At this moment, it is hard to imagine that this woman is the fifth young lady Xi Wanqing from the dignified Anguohou's residence.

After the prison van drove into the execution ground, an officer opened the prison van and released Xi Wanqing, and then escorted Xi Wanqing to the execution platform.

At the supervisor's banquet, the supervisor of Jingzhaofu Yin Yang Qianhe and the supervisor of An Guohou Xi Bojian had already taken their seats.

Under the execution platform, mountains and seas of people surrounded them.

At this time, in the crowd, an inconspicuous boy in green clothes shouted first.

"Such a vicious woman, everyone smash her to death."

One person took the lead, everyone picked up the prepared rotten vegetable leaves, and smashed the rotten eggs at Xi Wanqing.

"Smash her to death, smash her to death." The voices became louder and louder.

There was chaos in the air, and suddenly a brick mixed with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs flew towards Xi Wanqing, hitting Xi Wanqing's forehead.
