It seemed that that was the only way. However, he didn't know what kind of dangers lay behind him in the secret chamber. He wasn't sure.

"We agree to your request, and we'll try our luck in the secret room behind you. However, you have to agree to one condition, and that is that if we come out unharmed from the inside, you not only have to bring us through Xishan, but also to the other side. When we return, you can't stop us either."

Seeing that we still needed to negotiate with him even after reaching such a stage, the young general smiled. "Seeing that we still needed to negotiate even after reaching such a stage, the young general smiled again.

Although Li He Yue was extremely unwilling, and her intestines were about to turn green from regret, she still returned everything to him. Finally, he held the scroll. "Can I take one? Not much, just this one scroll will be enough. "

I fiercely glared at him and said in a low voice, "Don't forget that you're the one who set off with this scroll to wake up all the yin soldier here. This scroll is definitely not some lucky thing. Quickly put it down!"

The young general looked at the scroll and said with lowered eyes, "Do you know what is inside this scroll? If you're really curious, you might as well open it and take a look. I won't stop you. "

I was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect that the young general would say such words. I had been curious about what was drawn in this scroll since the start.

Lee and Yue gently opened the scroll painting. Inside was a statue of a character, and the drawing was extremely exquisite.

I looked at the painting on the scroll and sucked in a breath of cold air. There is actually such a beautiful woman in this world!

If I had only seen this painting, I would have thought that the painter had imagined the appearance of a perfect woman, something that would not exist in reality.

"This, this woman is?" Just when I was about to ask, I felt that something was wrong. The lady in the painting had a gorgeous face and most importantly, there was only a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.

This … the person in the painting can't be you, right? Are you a woman, General?

I suddenly began to imagine the whole story. A young general wouldn't be willing to die for his king just like that, would he? Unless she was a woman, a woman deeply in love with the owner of this tomb, only then would she be willing to die for this man at such a young age.

The young general laughed. "This girl, your idea is really quite unique. Do I look like a woman?"

I have to reassess the young general's appearance. His stature and height may not be considered very tall and sturdy, but it's also not a slim figure. Logically speaking, he should be a man.

Li He Yue suddenly asked, "The person in this painting should be your sister, right? Although the two of you look very similar, your personalities are very different."

The young general was suddenly stunned. "Oh, how do you know that we have different personalities?"

"Then I guessed it right?"

"It should be correct, right? The woman in the painting is my elder sister. Can you tell me how you saw that we have different personalities?"

"Your elder sister is gentle and virtuous, with a submissive and submissive attitude, while you, are unruly and untamed. You don't even put everyone in your eyes at all. Am I right?"

It was unknown if Li Jun and Yue Yue were just casually speaking, or if they really saw through it, but they felt that the young general had become silent.

"Mm, that's right. You see it quite accurately. If my sister hadn't accepted it so easily and if I hadn't acted this way, perhaps the final outcome would have been different."

I was suddenly interested in the story between them. Even though it wasn't recorded in the history of this story, it was definitely very interesting and touching.

Looking at my eyes, the young general seemed to be able to guess my thoughts. Before this tomb was completed, I ordered it to be burned. As for the history of this empire, I don't think anyone else would know about it. If you really are curious, go to that secret chamber and find the answer.

"So that's how it is. It's because this general in front of us incinerated all the records of the history of this empire. That's why there aren't any records of the Ancient Chu Country in the current records."

"Alright, then let us in!"

Young General, the mechanism for the animal movement pictures, the stone door in front of us opened up. With a hint of curiosity and nervousness, Li He and I walked in.

The secret chamber here looked extremely simple, as though it was a storage room that was filled with miscellaneous items. It also seemed like a library that was filled with books.

The stone door slowly descended, and with a bang, it sealed off the secret room from the outside passage.

"It seems that if we don't use up the time to leave, once the oxygen here is used up, we will suffocate to death here." Li He Yue said.

"With you and me here, we probably won't be unable to leave, right? I don't know where my confidence came from, or whether it's due to curiosity, but I feel like that young general isn't that simple. He definitely has a reason for letting us in. "

"Then let's organize it first. What's in this place?" What are the mechanisms? "How can I get out?"

"Don't recklessly flip through it. It's the same as before. If we trigger the mechanisms here, we might be in danger."

He didn't know if Li Jun and Yue Yue was really experienced, or if they were just playing dumb here. They were just randomly flipping through the books. Of course, they couldn't find the hidden mechanism.

"Look here!" These seemed to be military records of the time, as well as some historical records. Now that the general had burned all the documentation, it seemed that the only thing that could solve this riddle was the books in the secret chamber.

"Don't you find it strange? It's actually just a tomb, why is there such a place set up to store books and other stuff? "

Actually, I feel that the real intention of that general was not to erase this piece of history, but to have a fated person come here and open up this piece of history, so that people willing to understand this ancient and mysterious country would be willing to read and understand this piece of history.

"So that's how it is. Is that why he made such a request?"

"I think so. Actually, I can only guess at the young general's contradictory thoughts. There are many things that are recorded in these books."

"I don't understand what's written on it. Please translate it for me to read."

Right now, I can't help but admire Li He Yue. This is a country without any historical records, and the language and culture have been lost for a long time. He is actually able to read the language of this ancient country.

"Where on earth did you learn these words?"

I have studied all the ancient Chinese characters in our country. Although these kinds of characters in the Ancient Chu Country have never appeared in the literature or in the history of the country, they are all similar and have gradually evolved. If I combine them with the words in other countries and historical periods, I can probably read about 80% to 90% of the words.

He felt that this person was not only an archaeological aficionados, but also a top student. If he were to properly take an examination in an archaeology department, he would definitely become a great history professor or even an archaeology department professor in the future.

"Look, there are records here. Turns out the Ancient Chu Country was originally a powerful country, a subsidiary country of Korea. Not only is its territory small, its citizens' productivity is very low, so it is very poor."

"So military strength is not that strong?"

Li He Yue nodded. "That's right. A country without money won't be so well-developed, so they can only rely on the powerful Koreans to form an alliance through political marriage."

"If it's a political marriage, then wouldn't the woman sent to marry her be very unlucky? "Suddenly, I recalled a very famous story. The Starlord had left, and Wang Zhaojun had left his hometown just for the peace of both countries, never to return for the rest of his life."

"Of course, but there's no other way around it. At that time, women don't have any status, and ordinary commoners don't have the chance to marry each other. Only the daughter of a noble can be considered as a match. "At that time, Chu had a Violet Aristocrat Clan, leaving behind only the brother and sister. As for that elder sister, Jinglan, she just so happened to be at the age of marriage."

"Noble Zi, could it be that young general? "Then his sister, the exceptional beauty in the portrait, was sent to Korea to have a marriage alliance?"

Li He Yue nodded her head, "That's right, because at that time there was only one young princess, Jing Lan, so it is only natural that he became a sacrifice in politics. At that time, his younger brother Zi Junlin was still a dissolute young master without any official position or power. Even though he was a noble, he could only watch helplessly as his older sister married into a foreign land.

"Is that one of the reasons why the young general was so angry?"

"There are no records in the details, it only says so. Later on, this noble became the Ancient Chu Country, and the youngest general in history. Not only did he have outstanding achievements, he was invincible, and he also unified the Nine Regions, allowing the King Chu to rule the world."

"From the looks of it, this young noble is a hero. No matter if he is doing it for his sister or for his country, he is proving his worth with the attitude of an expert."

Li He Yue shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. I don't think you can guess the result of this story." On the day when the young general led the army to attack Korea, his sister Jinglan, then the Korean princess, jumped down from the city wall and died. "

I took a deep breath. "Why is it like this?"

"So, that's why it's called world business to mess with people. Originally, it was for his elder sister to escape the ocean of bitterness and not become a sacrifice in politics, but I never would have thought that his result would be harming his elder sister."

"This is probably the reason why he was so dispirited. If I was him, I would have felt extremely confused at that time. I don't know if what he said was correct or if I had done wrong. "At the same time that one's life is in ruins, one would also harm one's own close ones. Likely, anyone who encounters something like this would not be able to accept it."
