Divine Reasoning

Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, the two old experts and the Taoist priest named Yuan Shucai, all under the domineering control of Li Xiusheng and his men, headed to the eastern side of the General Ridge.

Li Xiusheng knew that the Taoist priest was gifted in martial arts, and thus, chose to lock his hands with handcuffs. As for the two old experts, they were casually tied up by ropes only.

In order not to let Zhao Yu take advantage of the situation, Li Xiusheng intentionally let Zhao Yu walk in front of the group, and placed Miao Ying last in the group, so that they did not have any opportunities to communicate.

In fact, the reason why Zhao Yu claimed that he knew the location of the treasure was purely to delay. He knew clearly that, if he did not say so earlier, both he and Miao Ying would end up dead like the other tomb robbers.
