The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Shao Zhikan continued: "The weather is getting colder now, and the mountains will probably start to freeze. If we act earlier, it will snow in two days, and I'm afraid we will all be trapped in the mountains."

Leng Yuanting just complained. After hearing what Shao Zhikan said, he felt it made sense, so he didn't say anything more and just nodded. However, he said with some confusion: "I wrote a letter a few days ago, and you replied and said you were in Beijing. Only a few days later, you came. Your body can handle it."

Shao Zhikan took Wu Lao with him on this trip. His face now looked a little pale and weak, as if he had been tired for many days. Shao Zhikan smiled and shook his head and said: "This matter cannot be postponed because I was injured, so I set off half a month late.

I didn't care about my own health anymore, so I let them take me on horseback and drove me over day and night. Fortunately, they arrived a few days earlier than Xiao Jamchang and the others. Has the mechanism in the mountain been activated now? "

Leng Yuanting nodded and said: "In the past two days, I took people to inspect the interior again. I saw that there was nothing too wrong. After I came out, I closed the door of the tomb. By the way, I removed the mechanisms in the tomb. The magic circle is all activated.

But it sounds strange. On the way back from the last inspection, we found traces of people from the Western Regions. "

"People from the Western Regions?" Leng Yuanting's discovery made Shao Zhihan couldn't help but frown.

The mountains are desolate and there are no mineral deposits. Why people from the Western Regions would appear here is really puzzling. Could it be that they are also here for this treasure from the previous dynasty?
Now that people know that this is the treasure of the previous dynasty, apart from these participants, there are also the emperor and King Huaisi. How did the people from the Western Regions get the news?
Shao Zhikan thought of the group of people from the Western Regions who behaved strangely in the city. Could it be that the real contact person of the Western Regions people was Xiao Jingchang?
But some time ago, the spies reported back that these people from the Western Regions had already found a way to transport their things out of Beijing.

They had to return to the Western Region before the heavy snow closed the mountains, otherwise their tribe would have a difficult time this year. Because my entire tribe is waiting for them to transport this batch of things so that they can go back for the winter.

Could it be Jamel Xiao who asked them to come? It was just to help him by the way. After all, his manpower was honestly not enough to open a tomb.

"Send people to investigate and investigate. See where those people from the Western Regions have settled? Are they transporting goods into the mountains? I suspect they are the group of Westerners who were lurking in the capital some time ago. They probably received Xiao Jingchang. I came here just because of my instructions.”

Leng Yuanting was a little confused: "I don't think so. Didn't the previous news say that they were preparing to transport goods back to the tribe before it snowed? If they came here, they would have to make a big detour. I'm afraid it would make it too late for them to transport the goods. go back."

Shao Zhikan nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, that's the case. But I'm just a guess. Otherwise, it's impossible for people from the Western Regions to appear here inexplicably in this barren mountain. Go check it out. If you really bring it, It should be the same group of people holding the goods. We can find a way to rob his goods.

If only a small number of people from the Western Regions did not bring their goods, it is estimated that their goods may have been shipped outside the customs. If we can win the best, if we can't win, we must guard against their sudden attack. "

Leng Yuanting nodded. If this matter really involves King Huaisi, then this wave of people from the Western Regions cannot be underestimated. Finding out the situation is the most important thing.

Without saying anything, Leng Yuanting took his own men to check the situation.

Shao Zhikan was afraid that he would be short of manpower, so he asked Leng Yuanting to take away the more than fifty cavalry that came with him.

There are only a dozen people left here to protect Shao Zhikan. Shao Zhikan turned his wheelchair and walked up the slope.

Looking up from the slope, you can see the tomb that was deliberately hidden. Shao Zhikan sighed, hoping that everything would pass safely this time.

But Leng Yuanting touched it for three or four days in a row. Every time, only traces of the Westerners were found, but the group of Westerners was never found. This situation made Leng Yuanting have to be careful. The fact that they were moving so quickly meant that they didn't have any cargo with them.

The number of people can be judged from the traces of life they left behind. Although it wasn't too many, there were still hundreds of people. If this is the case, I am afraid that my actions have already been figured out by the group of people from the Western Regions.

Now it is equivalent to being in the light and the enemy in the dark, which makes Leng Yuanting a little anxious.

At this time, the Western Region man, who had Shao Zhikan and Leng Yuanting confused, was standing at the door of the well-hidden tomb. A huge boulder blocked prying eyes.

A man from the Western Region hit the boulder twice with the hilt of his knife. Frowning right. Another man from the Western Regions with exquisite and gorgeous clothes said: "Prince, since we are ready to return to the tribe, why come to this barren mountain for a Han man.

Even the temperature here has cooled down, I'm afraid it will take some time. The way back will be blocked by heavy snow. There's a good chance we won't be able to go back. Besides, that prince is no longer qualified to compete for the king, so why should we get involved in this muddy water. "

The man from the Western Regions who was called the prince looked at the huge stone at the door and said: "As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although he has lost the qualification to compete for the emperor now, look at how he still has the ability to distinguish himself. People come to look for this so-called treasure of the previous dynasty. It shows that he has not given up yet.

I still want to rely on my own strength to compete again. Don't you think this is a good opportunity for us to stay in Zhongyuan?

In this way, we don't have to wander around on that grassland all day long, and we can live in a fixed place and enjoy delicious food and drink like these Han people. And these beauties from the Central Plains that you like will also be yours. "

The man from the Western Region scratched his head in confusion: "I really didn't see this.

But I think what the prince said must make sense. Since it is the previous dynasty, according to what the Han prince said, the one who gets the treasure can change dynasties. Why don't we open it in advance, take the treasure away, and then make a deal with him? "

The man called the prince smiled slightly, "Do you think I don't want to? But you also know that these Han people have always been cunning.

I heard that they often arrange some secret passages and so on in such large tombs.

If we enter at will, it is very likely that we will never return. So we'd better wait for the prince here to arrive before taking action.

If it is really the treasure from the previous dynasty, we can find a way to kill them and then take the treasure as our own. "

The Westerner's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately burst into laughter. "The prince is absolutely right. This way we can get the treasure without any effort."

At this time, King Huaisi and his party, who everyone was thinking about leading the charge, were resting in a village outside the mountain, preparing to go into the mountain to meet up with these people from the Western Regions after today.
