Chapter 489 Happy People (4000)

However, the old man did not take the initiative to point it out. He turned around and saluted Wu Liang: "I'm sorry, little old man. I've seen General Wu."

"Grandpa, you don't need to be polite."

Wu Liang did not shy away from it at all. He and Bai Jingjing called him Taigong and returned the courtesy with a smile.

I recall that when he first met Bai Qiru, he had the nerve to call his father-in-law, and even boasted about the mutual affection between himself and Bai Jingjing. Now that he has a substantial relationship with Bai Jingjing, he is naturally more bold.

"General Wu has only been away for a year. I wonder why he came to visit me this time?"

The old man paused, then asked again.

"Grandpa, it seems you still can't trust me."

Wu Liang was too lazy to continue arguing with him, and suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Let's get straight to the point. I came back this time because I heard that the group of tomb robbers who coveted the tomb of King Guangchuan last time had returned, so I thought

Because of my relationship with Jingjing, I traveled all the way to help out at night and night. If the Bai family can't trust me and continue to pretend to be confused, then I won't ask. Anyway, those people are not digging my family's ancestral graves."

As he spoke, Wu Liang turned away with an arrogant look, as if he was really angry.

"Grandpa, he is really here to help us."

Seeing this, Bai Jingjing quickly advised, "That group of thieves are thieves under Lu Bu's command. A few days ago, he happened to catch a spy sent by Lu Bu. After interrogating him, he found out that the group of thieves were under Lu Bu's orders."

He came to visit the late king’s tomb, so he quickly informed me and came back with me to help the Bai family.”

"this……"

The old man was actually testing Wu Liang, but in his heart he did not believe that Wu Liang was related to the group of thieves that had appeared recently.

After all, Wu Liang had successfully entered the tomb last time, and also took away the most precious Suihou Pearl in the tomb. Of course, he also brought out the valuable gold. At this point, of course Wu Liang could

There is no need to revisit old places.

What's more, when Wu Liang left, he helped them re-seal the mausoleum and set up the installation mechanism. If he had really wanted to revisit his hometown, there would be no need to take off his pants and fart like this.

But as the tomb keeper, this tomb is the most important secret of their family.

Therefore, before Wu Liang explained the purpose of his visit, it was absolutely impossible for him to casually talk about the matters related to it to Wu Liang, an outsider. This was the self-discipline of the tomb keeper and the most basic caution.

But now when he heard Bai Jingjing say the same thing, a look of light immediately appeared in his old eyes that had already fallen into despair.

"General Wu, forgive me, but this matter is related to the late king's mausoleum and the fate of the Bai family. I have to be careful in my words and deeds. Since General Wu is here to help the Bai family this time, I am grateful."

It's too late, so how can you pretend to be confused and pretend to understand."

The old man straightened up quickly and bowed to Wu Liang with a grateful expression.

"Understand, understand."

Wu Liang then changed his smile and said, "Then please tell me the current situation, Grandpa. We will discuss how to deal with it after we understand the situation."

"good."

The old man nodded, and then ordered someone to close the wooden door of the living room, and then lowered his voice and said, "General Wu already knows the reason, so I won't elaborate on it. According to what my Bai family secretly observed, this gang

After the people arrived, they headed straight for the Valley of No Return. The first group of about fifty people set up camp in the valley first. In the next few days, more people arrived one after another, and soon there were about four hundred people.

Everyone."

"They hid in the valley during the day without making any noise, and then ordered people to go out of the camp at night to dig around in the valley. Now they have dug out most of the valley, and even the cave where the Yan family was hiding has been found. Fortunately, their

His acupoint-fixing skills are not as good as those of General Wu. So far, he has no intention of taking action on the top of the mountain where the tomb of the late king is hidden. It seems that it will take some time to find the tomb of the late king."

"It's just that based on their intentions, the little old man seems to have determined that there is a mausoleum hidden here, and he will definitely not leave until he finds the mausoleum."

"This is the most embarrassing thing for us. If they continue to dig like this, they will dig all over the valley below, and one day they will reach the top of the mountain. Even if the quicksand that General Wu taught us blocks us, we will only be able to reach the top of the mountain.

I'm afraid I won't be able to stop these more than 400 people, and I, the Bai family, are even more powerless to resist. I'm afraid they will perish together with the tomb of the late king."

Having said this, the old man already had a heavy look on his face, and then looked at Wu Liang with a hopeful look on his face. He came closer and asked: "Since General Wu got the news in advance and specially led his people to come to the rescue, what do you think?"

They must have made complete preparations, so that once they take action, these thieves will never come back, right? I wonder how many troops General Wu has brought with him? Where are these troops hidden, and will they arrive soon?"

"Tai Gong's guess is right. In addition to a few of us, there are twenty elite soldiers who are currently hiding in the woods outside the village."

Wu Liang smiled and said truthfully.

"twenty?"

The smile on the old man's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled unnaturally and said, "General Wu, don't joke with the little old man. Even if there are not two thousand, General Wu has at least brought two hundred elite soldiers. Two hundred is a waste."

It’s not too small. As long as they are all elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, our Bai family is willing to take the lead and serve as a shield for General Wu’s people. Thinking about it, we may not be unable to fight with that group of thieves. As long as we can save the tomb of the late king, the Bai family

Up and down it means death, but it can also bring laughter to the nine springs."

"Grandpa, you heard right, there are only twenty people, not two hundred, let alone two thousand."

Wu Liang broke the old man's fantasy with his words.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough!"

The old man's old face suddenly fell down, and his energy level was much worse than before. He coughed continuously, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

"Grandpa, don't be disappointed. Twenty people may not be able to accomplish anything."

Wu Liang said.

"As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, but you guys...forty punches can defeat more than 800 hands. Even if you are all counted, and all the Bai family are also counted, we can only fight with less than 100 hands.

How can we achieve anything if we are far inferior to those fists?"

The old man wrinkled his face and broke off his fingers with Wu Liang, and grumbled while shaking them off, "I just don't understand. When General Wu was still Sima, he could bring more than fifty people with him on one trip.

How come you have been promoted to general now, but you only lead more than 20 people? Are all your Cao Ying officers promoted in reverse?"

"puff……"

Upon hearing this, everyone was amused. They never expected that these tombkeepers could have such a cute side.

"The Grand Duke is unaware of something. Today is no different than in the past. Now Yuan Shao and us are at war with each other. Yuancheng is Yuan Shao's territory. If we bring more men and horses, the risk of exposure will be greater."

Wu Liang also explained with a smile.

"If that's the case, why aren't those thieves afraid?"

The old man asked immediately.

"..."

Wu Liang was stunned.

The angle of this question was tricky enough that even he could not give a reasonable explanation. This time, it was the tombkeeper who took the lead.

Fortunately, when Bai Jingjing saw Wu Liang being questioned, she quickly picked up the conversation and said: "Tai Gong, Wu Youcai doesn't like fighting with others. What he is best at is outsmarting others. Now that he dares to bring only twenty people to help, he will

I have already thought of a countermeasure, and I should be able to drive away those thieves without any bloodshed."

"Jingjing, please tell Grandpa honestly, have you secretly pledged yourself to him?"

The old man looked at Bai Jingjing, and this time he stopped pretending to be confused and asked directly.

"ah?"

Bai Jingjing was stunned for a moment when she was asked, and then her pretty face suddenly turned red. She shook her head repeatedly but stuttered, "No, no, Jingjing keeps the ancestral precepts of the Bai family in her heart, and she definitely does not dare to go beyond them."

"If not, why did you always speak for him when you came back this time?"

The old man stared into Bai Jingjing's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her completely, "Even if it doesn't happen, I'm afraid you two are not simple at all. I'm afraid you have already committed your heart to him, right?"

"I……"

Bai Jingjing suddenly lost her voice, her blushing face buried in her chest in shame, but she hid behind Wu Liang unconsciously.

"Do you still remember the sixth ancestral precept of the Bai family?"

The old man's expression became more serious and his tone became stiffer.

"If a girl is not married, she is not allowed to have children. Anyone who violates this rule will be drowned..."

Bai Jingjing also answered in an increasingly quiet voice.

Hear this.

Everyone in the Hu army frowned with displeasure on their faces.

I thought this old guy was so ignorant!

Thanks to Bai Jingjing who was worried about the safety of the Bai family all the way, both of her legs were about to break, and thanks to our General Wu who traveled day and night, we rushed here to help.

You old guy doesn't know how to thank you, but you insist on clinging to this trivial matter, and you even want to act according to the ancestral precepts. If you had known, we shouldn't have come, looking at your family and the tomb of King Guangchuan

It would be better to destroy them together. With the Bai family gone, Miss Bai can stay with our General Wu without any hindrance. There is no need to be like this without even a title!

but……

Every time he returned to Chenliu, General Wu and Miss Bai were inseparable at night. Sometimes they could hear the noise inside when passing by, but Miss Bai said that she was not betrothed to General Wu. What on earth were they playing at?

Then the old man continued to say: "Just remember. If your father knew about this, he would definitely deal with your family even at the risk of breaking up with General Wu. Now he is leading people to go out to investigate. Bai Bai

I should take care of the family affairs. Are you willing to listen to what I say?"

"Grandpa..."
