Chapter 11 From Guanzhong to Xiling (1)

Guanzhong.

Four people and one beast bid farewell to the White Deer Plain and headed eastward. The authentic product of Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum, bypassed Huashan, left Tongguan, and traveled a hundred miles east between the sky of loess. It is Luoyang, the starting point of the Silk Road, and now it is the end of the Longhai Railway.

After leaving Luoyang Nanguan, I passed the Longmen Grottoes along Yishui, and then arrived at the famous tomb robber village.

Several houses in front of the village were burnt into ruins, with burnt smell remaining in the air. A few new graves had just been piled up, and a woman and a child were lying on the grave crying. Qin Beiyang carefully grabbed the reins. The villagers fled into the houses or simply ran to the bare ridges. These guys were not polite to the dead, but were afraid of living people.

After finally catching an old woman, Ouyang Anna dismounted and asked where Xiaomu was. The other party was so scared that he was so scared that he asked you why you were looking for Xiaomu. Anna thought for a while and said, I am a relative of Xiaomu's wife, and her children's sister is really not a lie.

Finally, they found the yard of Xiaomu's family, and there were a pile of smashed jars and jars in the courtyard. Qin Beiyang's eyes could see that they were all treasures dug out of the ancient tomb. Anything that was sent to Beijing Liuli Factory could be exchanged for hundreds of dollars.

"Are you here to find Xiaomu?" a woman with disheveled hair curled up in the corner of the wall and hugged the two boys, "He has been taken away."

Her accent was obviously different from the locals in the Tomb Raiders Village, but was scented by Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the islands.

"Sea Girl?"

Anna squatted down and looked at her face carefully. She used to be Venus on Mount Damo, East China Sea.

Having not seen her for many years, the sea girl's figure has become more plump, her skin has been tanned, and there are many fine lines in the corners of her eyes, but her hair is still as smooth as seaweed.

"I'm Anna!" She took off her veil. Anna's changes little. If she hadn't been dressed in a mature outfit, she could still pretend to be a female college student. Anna stroked the two boys, "They are so big."

She still remembers that the names of the two brothers were Ouyang Qianlu, and the second one was Ouyang Lianfan. They were Ouyang Sicong's youngest son and Ouyang Anna's half-brother.

The sea girl said with tears in her nose: A month ago, an army surrounded the tomb robber village and captured Xiaomu. The villagers intended to defend themselves. After all, Xiaomu was the leader of the tomb robber village. The army ruthlessly shot, killed more than a dozen men, burned several houses, and then left. The man who kidnapped Xiaomu had a scar on his face, and he was Ah Hai.

"It's him!" Anna asked, "Do you know where Ah Hai is going to take Xiaomu?"

The girl of Hai frowned and thought for a while. It seemed that Ah Hai had mentioned "digging open the imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty"?

"Digging the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty?"

The little prince took a breath of air. He was a Mongolian prince who had been enthroned by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for generations. If the prince had heard of it, he would be so angry.

"I understand!" Li Longsheng said, "Ahai, like me, had an irreconcilable hatred for the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he was sent to Taibai Mountain since childhood and trained to be an assassin who took it as his mission to overthrow the Qing court."

"Go to the imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty!" Qin Beiyang stepped on his horse, looked at the nine-colored glass-colored eyes and said, "Let's go and stop Ah Hai."

"Okay, let's go together."

Anna also turned over and gave Hai Nu 100 silver dollars before leaving, saying that it was a gift for her two younger brothers, buying some clean clothes, not being hungry and frozen, and sending them to school to study, and not just focusing on tomb robbing and delaying her studies.

The sea girl said that these two children were the seeds of Ouyang Sicong, the king of pirates. She would rather let them become pirates when they grow up than be tomb robbers. She pinched Anna's hand and looked at Qin Beiyang again and said, "Please bring Xiaomu back alive. Apart from digging graves, he has never done anything that is harmful to the world. Now he is the father of these two children."

"I understand." Ouyang Anna picked up the two boys and kissed her, and couldn't help but think of her daughter who stayed in Nanjing.

After leaving the tomb robber village and overlooking the quiet Yishui, Qin Beiyang immediately said: "Anna, you don't have to follow us, you go back to Shanghai to take care of your daughter."

Ouyang Anna was slightly stunned. Although he had been together for a long time, Qin Beiyang was in grief. In addition to analyzing how to find Ah Hai, he was always taciturn, especially avoiding being alone with Anna. Every night, Qin Beiyang also searched for an ancient tomb and crawled in, like an evil spirit eating corpse, which made people afraid.

Originally, Anna had already plucked up the courage to tell Qin Beiyang that you are my daughter's father and Xiao Jiuse is your biological flesh and blood. But seeing Qin Beiyang's condition, why bother him to bear the second bolt from the blue? This is not a good news for Qin Beiyang, it just adds endless troubles, and it is not fair to Qi Yuanshan.

She looked straight into Qin Beiyang's eyes: "You want to drive me away?"

"Revenge is a man's business and has nothing to do with women." Qin Beiyang turned to look at Cangqiong, "This is the hatred between me and Ah Hai."

"It has nothing to do with me? Have you forgotten? Ten years ago, my father Ouyang Sicong died at the hands of Ah Hai in the sea of ​​Bodhidharma in Hongkou, Shanghai." Anna rode forward and said loudly, "Beiyang, if you still can't find Ah Hai for revenge within three months, I will leave, please don't worry."

Qin Beiyang was speechless. He wanted to avenge the murder of his father and his mother and his wife, and Anna also wanted to avenge the murder of his father and his family.

Li Longsheng patted his shoulder and said, "There are always amazing women around you."

A few days later, it was late spring. Qin Beiyang, Ouyang Anna, Li Longsheng passed through the North China Plain and headed north to Yi County, northwest of Baoding. Twenty years ago, Qin Beiyang was brought here from Tianjin by the famous detective Ye Kenan in the capital, and has changed his life since then.

The little prince built a shed in his hand and looked west at the Zijing Pass of Taihang Mountain. The pines and cypresses on Yongning Mountain were like the sea, burying the four imperial tombs of Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Guangxu in the former Qing Dynasty, as well as three rear tombs and three concubine tombs, and many royal relatives such as princes and princesses were buried. Through the flame archway, there were the towering red gate. The Eight Banners soldiers who were guarding the gate had already fallen trees and scattered, and the threshold was covered with weeds. Hearing the breath of the tomb, nine colors rushed to the forefront, like a tired bird returning to his nest. The Qing Dynasty had only been destroyed for more than ten years, and the stone statues on the divine road were already destroyed.

Qin Beiyang first went to see Emperor Yongzheng's Tai Mausoleum. When he was a child, he once broke into the Baoding City Tower at night and accidentally ran into the soul of the Fourth Master. The four of them surrounded Baoding for a whole week, and with Jiuse's keen sense of the mausoleum, it was confirmed that the tomb had not been robbed yet.

They checked the Changling in Jiaqing and the Muling in Daoguang again. Fortunately, there was no sign of being destroyed. It was just that the wasteland was full of smoke and weeds. I am afraid that in a few years, they would fall into dust like the Ming Tombs.

Finally, we came to Emperor Guangxu's Chongling. At the door, there were several old bannermen guarding the tombs, living in the imperial tombs for generations. The Qing Dynasty was destroyed, and the Eight Banners had to be cut off food and pay, so we could only farm and log, rely on ourselves, and live in a down-and-out life, like beggars. When they saw the little prince wearing Mongolian robes, they seemed to see their relatives. Timur gave each person a few pieces of ocean to ask if there were any suspicious people who had been to the imperial tombs recently?
