You rascal, stop right there!

Chapter 221 You are the only one in this world who supports me like this

"Fatty Wang, eat slowly and leave some for me!"

"Boss, this is all I can eat. I have to go dig graves soon. I won't be able to eat for a while!" Wang Sen wrinkled his nose in grievance.

"Dig a grave?"

"What digging a grave?!"

The other two said in unison.

Wang Sen quickly shut up: "It's a military secret, you can't talk about it!"

Bai Wan gave him a cold look, which made the man's body tremble.

The atmosphere is full of swords and sabers!

No, it should be Bai Wan's one-sided slaughter with the knife in the eyes.

Wang Sen couldn't resist the threat and closed his eyes: "It's just digging up someone else's ancestral grave. It's none of my business!"

"Well, if you don't want to tell me, then forget it. I won't force you!" Bai Wan claimed that he could guess the answer.

His fingers slowly grasped the chopsticks, but he began to think deeply.

Digging up other people's ancestral graves and using soldiers?

Could it be...

The Dingzhou City, which won great success, was once the capital of the previous dynasty and even an important military town.

However, the imperial family of Daying thought that the south was richer, so they moved the capital south. Eventually, after two hundred years of decline, Dingzhou became a border town.

I can’t imagine how much wealth is buried with the emperors in the ancient capital of three dynasties.

Nowadays, the excuse of digging up ancestral graves must be used to raise military funds to dig up the imperial tombs.

Who else could give the order to do this except Ling Shumo, the military official?

Luo Wenqi's voice came from the side: "Digging up other people's graves is a treasonous act. Is Captain Wang crazy?"

Shen Zhuyue stopped the bowl and said, "The ancient saints respected their teachers and ancestors. Lord Ling, don't you want to stop this kind of behavior?"

Wang Sen said nothing, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

The main point is that as long as you don’t admit it, you are not responsible for other people’s guesses.

Bai Wan said word by word: "Even if that's the case, it depends on the reason."

"Well, why do you do such a rebellious thing?" Luo Wenqi showed a surprised expression.

The white pea in a cloak sat upright, speaking slowly and rhythmically: "When the living are more important than the dead!"

Wang Sen looked at the boss' handsome and determined face and suppressed the shock in his heart.

What the boss said was almost exactly the same as what Lord Ling said.

Bai Wan fully understood why Ling Shumo did this.

Some even felt that digging deep into the ground and using it to support war and people's livelihood was not a heinous crime at all, but rather a way to raise military funds at the lowest cost.

Compared to those who have already died, the most important thing is to rescue the living civilians in the enemy-occupied areas.

Thinking of this, Bai Wan suddenly took a deep breath and walked to the front of his desk.

"This is a map of the entire city drawn using the 'Jili Huafang' method. There are some geomancy annotations on it, which may be helpful for digging graves. Here it is!"

Wang Sen opened the scroll and looked at it.

The painting is neat and clean with clear outlines.

This map is much more detailed than the crude maps used in the army. Even places for riding horses, taking boats, walking, cockfighting, and begging are marked.

Looking at the picture, Wang Sen was silent for a long time: "Boss, this wasn't drawn by you, was it?"

My impression of Bai Wan is that he is a scoundrel who only knows how to cheat and deceive people and has no knowledge or skills!

Bai Wan immediately fainted: "What do you care? Forget it!"

He couldn't say that he had a photographic memory for every scene.

I started drawing this map from the first day I entered the city, just in order to help defend the city one day.

This is the city guarded by Ling Shumo, and it is also the city he wants to guard.

At this point, everyone can guess what the purpose of all this is.

The other people looked at Bai Wan and found it incredible.

Where on earth did he get the energy to find time to draw a map while painting a fan?

The person concerned continued to eat the insects and drink the soup.

He didn't think his behavior was eye-catching at all, nor did he think his talent was incredible.

In the end, Luo Wenqi and Shen Zhuyue were unable to continue enjoying the bean worm feast and left with various excuses.

Bai Wan put down his chopsticks and scooped up the soup carefully, intending to save a portion of the rich soup for his Zichen.

Even if there is no insect meat, you still have to drink the soup.

That night.

Hundreds of soldiers went to the suburbs secretly based on the map of the mausoleum.

According to Ling Shumo's request, they brought tomb-robbing masters and countless tools to start digging the tomb.

Ling Shumo personally took the shovel and joined in the digging, truly taking the example of leading by example.

This was Ling Shumo's idea.

Finally, even if he goes off track, is condemned and punished, he can stand at the forefront and take responsibility for everything.

Then, a person who has been bound by ethics and the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, as if encountering people or things in reality, can become completely uncontrollable...

"We dug it up!" "We dug it up!" "This tomb looks like it belongs to a wealthy person!"

"You can see some utensils and coins! Sir... Sir, come and see!"

Afterwards, there were heard the excited voices of countless soldiers.

Ling Shumo stood in the mud and darkness, his hair a mess, but his face remained clear and calm.

What is the heinous crime, what is the pedantic ethics? If it cannot save people from danger, these treasures are no different from dead things.

"Sir! Sir! According to the Feng Shui treasures on the map, experts have identified that there is a tomb nearby." Wang Sen held the map and waved his hand, squeezing directly through the gap between the soldiers.

"This brushwork... is it Ah Bai?" Ling Shumo could almost see some details of Bai Wan's painting at a glance.

Being able to give Wang Sen such a detailed map, he must have absolutely supported his ideas and even helped him with drawing the map from the very beginning.

You are truly my lifelong friend!

Ling Shumo smiled gently, with some tenderness in his eyes.

"Okay, let's dig these out first. After we get the valuables, have someone seal the entrance. Then set up a memorial tablet for the tomb owner, and we'll go back and burn some incense."

Wang Sen nodded. Since he had already dug up someone's grave, doing this could be considered making up for it.

This night, after all, it was a case of killing first and asking for permission later...

Ling Shumo looked at the gold and silver objects in the soldiers' hands, feeling deeply moved. He could almost imagine the scene when those generals and nobles learned the truth.

His smile seemed to soften countless emotions:

"Perhaps you are the only one in this world who will support me like this!"
