C137 (1/2)

After finding the place where the group of people had fallen behind, the group of people quickly returned to the cave where they had originally been staying and began to discuss their next course of action.

Everyone was thinking of how to lure this group of people out of their caves and wipe them out. Only Luo Lingwei was silent.

”What is the Empress thinking?” Everyone saw that Luo Lingwei did not speak and only stared at the map, seemingly thinking about something.

Luo Lingwei saw Zhang Long ask her, so she shook her head. A moment later, her eyes flashed, and then asked Zhang Long: ”Go down and check if the air below is dirty?

Zhang Long thought for a while and said, ”The air below is not turbid, and there seems to be no cold wind.”

Luo Lingwei nodded and said, ”That's right.”

Everyone was confused, not knowing what Luo Lingwei was talking about.

”Just now, Zhang Long went down to investigate and found out that this group of thieves were hiding in an ancient tomb. Logically speaking, after the ancient tomb was closed, there should have been a completely sealed off space inside. ”However, it was obvious that this ancient tomb had been stolen, which was why we were able to discover this cave.”

The crowd still didn't know what Luo Lingwei wanted to say, but they could only patiently listen to what she was saying.

”As Zhang Long said earlier, this ancient tomb's passageway is only enough for two people to walk side by side. This shows that this ancient tomb is actually not that big. However, there were more than a hundred of these bandits. If they lost twenty to thirty people due to the pursuit of soldiers, that would still be seventy to eighty people. It would not be enough, then, to keep the men breathing beneath and lighting the torches. So this place must have other exits. ”That's why Zhang Long could vaguely feel a cold wind.”

After Luo Lingwei finished talking, everyone came to a realization. Previously, they had been thinking about how to force these people out, but they hadn't thought about these questions.

”Esteemed envoy, what should we do next?” Timur asked respectfully as he admired a woman so much from the bottom of his heart.

Luo Lingwei gave a sly smile. ”Have you ever played in an ant's nest?”

Everyone was confused, only Zhang Long understood what Luo Lingwei was saying.

”Are you saying that we should pour water into the ancient tomb?” Zhang Long asked.

Luo Lingwei nodded her head and said, ”It's not bad to pour the water, but the mountains are far away and the location of the tomb is unknown. This method is too slow.”

Zhang Long was confused.

”I hope the Empress can give me a clear indication.”

Luo Lingwei said, ”In the next few days, we'll find the exit of this tomb, and then we'll send one letter to our deaths, and finally leave behind two holes. We'll pour smoke into one of the holes, and then set up another trap at the entrance, and force them out of the hole, we'll definitely catch them in one go!”

Everyone nodded their heads. They had to admit that Luo Lingwei's plan was very effective and simple. Everyone sighed. Why hadn't they thought of this plan just now? Wasn't this the way to catch rabbits and other animals that would dig holes in the grassland?

After they agreed on a plan, everyone began to move. In just one night's time, Luo Lingwei had found all the entrances to the tomb with her drone. The next morning, everyone first secretly marked the entrance of the cave Luo Lingwei had found. They then went to the forest to collect wolf dung and create smoke according to Luo Lingwei's instructions. When night fell, everyone quietly moved rocks to completely seal the cave entrance. Xiao Qing went to prepare the trap, and Xiao Bai even bought some traps for hunting beasts from the hunters at the foot of the mountain.
