Chapter 507: The Secret of the Imperial Mausoleum of Mount Li!

Yi Xiaochuan followed the figure in front of him closely, thinking to himself: I must find a way to find out how many other people are related to this matter. Only by finding more clues and related people can he more comprehensively and deeply uncover the truth behind the whole thing, especially about the mysterious Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum. At the same time, he also urgently wanted to know how to successfully enter this legendary mausoleum and solve the countless mysteries it contains.

After some tracking and observation, from the various signs currently available, Gao Yao did not seem to lie to him. This place does have many suspicious points, and this strange and unique style of behavior is exactly the same as that of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. From this, it can be inferred that this Lishan Imperial Mausoleum must be full of mysteries. If it does not have a great secret or value, how could it attract so much attention from this mysterious person?

In this way, Yi Xiaochuan carefully tracked the target all the way and finally came to a nearby county town. Although he had determined the other party's foothold, he did not act rashly, but calmly thought about the next action plan. At this moment, Yi Xiaochuan knew very well that although on the surface he chose to cooperate with Gao Yao temporarily, it was not out of true trust or desire to establish a close partnership.

It was entirely because he wanted to find the entrance to the imperial mausoleum and everything about Tianxing, so that Yi Xiaochuan would have the opportunity to plot against Gao Yao and the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. Yi Xiaochuan decided to contact the people sent by Gao Yao first, and then discuss the next countermeasures together.

After all, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan couldn't have left only one person behind. The importance of this matter must be closely related to the number of people. If you want to control these people, you need manpower. It would be a waste to leave Gao Yao's people unused. Yi Xiaochuan just needs to achieve the ultimate goal.

After ten long days, Yi Xiaochuan kept his eyes on them without any hesitation, and finally got a rough idea of ​​their background and whereabouts. It turned out that these mysterious people were almost all concentrated in a wealthy family named Feng in the county town. The Feng family was well-known and prestigious in the local area, with more than a hundred people in the family.

Shortly after Yi Xiaochuan passed the message, Gao Yao's troops also quickly arrived at the county. After all, how could Gao Yao easily trust Yi Xiaochuan completely? So he deliberately sent his trusted men to follow him all the way.

Although the team was small, with only a dozen people, Yi Xiaochuan realized the moment he met them that these people were by no means ordinary people. From the sharp aura emanating from them, it could be judged that they usually did things that were very risky to make a living. There was no doubt that these people were elites trained by Gao Yao himself, and were specifically responsible for handling those difficult matters that were not convenient to do in public.

Yi Xiaochuan had no intention of hiding anything at this time. He decisively explained to the other party in detail what he had worked so hard to find out, and was fully prepared to attack the enemy. According to the plan, they decided to leave only a few people who knew the general situation alive in order to obtain more useful intelligence; and for the others, they issued a merciless kill order, leaving no one alive!

This is indeed a helpless thing! People in different eras often have many restrictions on their thinking, and what they accept and obtain is also very different. This is due to the difference in thinking patterns. In the early Warring States period, the form of war between the two countries was completely different from today. At that time, both sides would agree in advance on the specific time and place of the battle, as well as the number of troops each side would dispatch. What's even more peculiar is that in the middle of the fierce battle, they would stop to eat and discuss what would be considered a defeat. From the perspective of modern people, this kind of war is more like a child's play.

As time went by, the scale of war gradually expanded. When cavalry began to dominate the battlefield, a new era quietly arrived. The number of participants in the war continued to rise, and its scale became increasingly large, and corresponding strategies and tactics also emerged like mushrooms after rain. Especially with the clever cooperation of infantry, cavalry, chariots and various siege equipment, more complex and varied strategic and tactical deployments can be achieved. All of this is ultimately the result of the continuous evolution of human thinking.

Take the "Jiangdong rats" who have been criticized and reviled for nearly a thousand years. If their actions were placed in modern society, they might be regarded as a so-called "all is fair in war". However, judging from a moral perspective, these practices are indeed not very glorious, and the possible adverse consequences are obviously not considered carefully enough.

This is the consequence of the changing times! A person's growth is closely related to his living environment, and his learning and education also have a profound impact on him. Take Gao Yao as an example. All he can focus on is the physical advantages of his subordinates and ensure their absolute loyalty to him. It is really difficult to make these people's minds thoroughly enlightened! Because these are two completely different things.

Because of this, despite a long investigation, no substantial results were achieved. On the contrary, Yi Xiaochuan was able to easily capture the slightest clues and finally successfully locked the target. The reason for this was that the thinking of those assassins ordered by Gao Yao had long been solidified into a fixed pattern, and it was difficult for them to undergo a fundamental change.

Whether it was Gao Yao himself or the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, they were mainly educated by later generations and nurtured by the corresponding growth environment. Even after many journeys through time and space, the unrestrained and unconventional way of thinking was still deeply rooted in their hearts and became the key to solving problems.

Look at those death warriors who followed orders, they only watched closely to see if anyone frequently came in and out near Mount Li. If this continues, I really don't know when they can make any gains. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan only sent people to guard, but did not watch. He would only periodically find some different hunters to go near Mount Li to see if there were any signs of people staying for a long time. This way, the possibility of being discovered was avoided to the greatest extent.

The reason why Yi Xiaochuan did not rush to act even after the people arrived, but observed again before taking action, was also very simple. That was because after understanding the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's actions, he knew that the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan liked to play two moves, one open move and one hidden move.
