Chapter 357 Trembling, not daring to speak

Sure enough, not far ahead, the passage suddenly became pitch black. Zhang Liang returned to get a lamp, and soon found some unusual movements on the wall, like peeling wall skin, or dust and spider webs. However, there was no wind here, so the dust should not move. If it was peeling wall skin, it didn't make sense. With Zhao Gao's financial resources, the secret room would never have such a situation...

In the bustling city at night, Zhang Liang was in a dark underground space with blurred vision. In order to see the surrounding environment clearly, he raised his flashlight and walked towards the nearest wall. When the light was focused, he found that it was a group of cocoons trying hard to break free.

"Oh no!" Zhang Liang's heart tightened. He quickly threw the flashlight on the ground and stomped on it to put out the light.

However, it was too late. The moment he stepped into this area, the cocoons were activated. Even if he turned off the light now, he couldn't stop the poisonous moths from awakening!

The moment the flashlight fell to the ground, a few moths from the corner of the wall that he had just illuminated flapped their wings, flew towards the back of Zhang Liang's left hand, and sucked greedily.

Zhang Liang felt a sharp pain and immediately used his internal energy to form a protective shield to seal the wound caused by the moth bite and force out the poison.

The poison spread quickly, and although the poisonous blood had been expelled, Zhang Liang could still feel the numbness in his left arm. Although the surroundings fell into darkness again and his vision was pitch black, his hearing was extremely sharp.

The sound of the moths flapping their wings and buzzing made Zhang Liang feel disgusted. He pulled out the Xuanyuan dagger hidden at his side and slashed according to the sound. After about a quarter of an hour, he could no longer hear the annoying sound. Zhang Liang confirmed that all the moths had been killed. He walked to the place where he discarded the flashlight based on his memory and bent down to pick it up.

He took out a lighter from his waist and lit the flashlight. At this moment, the scene in front of him became clear.

It’s simply unbelievable that Zhao Gao’s secret base is actually a hidden underground treasure house!

Zhang Liang continued walking forward and encountered another door, which he pushed open cautiously and walked in. It was a huge warehouse-like space with dozens of large boxes piled up in the corners.

Zhang Liang quietly approached one of the boxes, which was locked. He drew out his dagger and cut the chain in a few strokes. When he opened the lid, Zhang Liang was overjoyed.

The trip was indeed not in vain, the box was full of gold, silver and jewelry. He walked to the other boxes and opened the locks in the same way. Boxes of dazzling gold, silver and jewelry shone with attractive light.

These are not legal tender, but real hard currency, which is not affected by the changing times. If he takes them out and recruits talents, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future development.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang raised his lips and smiled. Then, he took out the ancient artifact he obtained on the road of inheritance - Jiuli Pot.

The mouth of the pot was pointed at the boxes, and a moment later, the wealth that Zhao Gao had accumulated for half his life was taken by Zhang Liang. He seemed to be able to see the scene of Zhao Gao vomiting blood in anger after discovering that his property had been stolen, and his smile became even brighter.

After looting the gold and silver treasures in Zhao Gao's secret room, Zhang Liang was satisfied and prepared to leave. After putting away the Jiuli pot, he returned along the same route.

Feiyu told Zhang Liang about his situation of knocking down the city wall. Zhang Liang did not expect that Feiyu would cause such a big commotion when he went to the foot of the imperial city to cause trouble. But it was good this way, Ying Zheng must be very angry, and even Zhao Gao would be busy with him, so his actions should not be exposed too quickly.

Just as Zhang Liang was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a long sword hanging on the wall next to the door.

The sword was silver-white, elegant in shape, and slender in body. Zhang Liang felt a chill as he looked at the sword.

"The water is cold, the wind is howling, the Yishui River is cold!"

Zhang Liang recognized this sword. It was the sword worn by Gao Jianli, the leader of the Mohist school in "The Legend of Qin". It was forged by Master Xu and ranked seventh on Feng Huzi's weapon list: the Shuihan Sword!

I didn't expect to see such a precious sword in Zhao Gao's secret room. Zhang Liang quickly stepped forward, took down the Shuihan Sword, and examined it carefully.

Fifteen years had passed, enough time for Ying Zheng to eliminate all those who opposed him. But he had spent fifteen years safely on the road of inheritance. As for how Zhao Gao got the Shuihan Sword, Zhang Liang didn't want to think about it anymore.

Seeing Shui Hanjian again, Zhang Liang felt mixed emotions. Soon, he came to his senses and realized that the past could not be changed and it was useless to dwell on it.

This Shuihan Sword is the perfect gift for Feiyu. As its name suggests, the Shuihan Sword has a cold and gloomy nature. Feiyu comes from the ice and snow world of the inheritance road, and this sword is a perfect match for him. Perhaps, letting Feiyu wear it can also alleviate his discomfort with the human world.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang put the Shui Han Sword into the Jiuli Pot.

Afterwards, Zhang Liang returned along the original route and soon returned to the starting point. He closed the secret compartment and cleaned up the scene, trying not to leave any traces.

At this time, in the imperial court.

"My dear ministers, what are your opinions on the collapse of the Great Wall?" Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne, dignified and imposing without anger.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was no longer as elegant as when Zhang Liang first saw him. He looked a little fatter and had more wrinkles. Fifteen years, power and wealth are enough to change a person.

The ministers in the court were trembling with fear and dared not speak.
