Chapter 442 Tomb of Prince Qing

After sending Jiang Chunsheng away, Tao Zhen felt that there was no reason to stay in Fucheng. She was going to ask Dean Lin when she could return to Ningzhou.

The Lin family has a rich heritage and is considered a big family in Fucheng. When Tao Zhen arrived, he realized that Dean Lin had left in a hurry in the morning and had not returned yet.

Tao Zhen had no choice but to go home first. The room was a little cold. Tao Zhen found a stove and quickly made a charcoal fire. When the room became warm, it made people feel drowsy and sleepy.

Pei Zhan hadn't come back from Yanbei Prince's Mansion yet, so Tao Zhen decided to go over and see how her shop was doing. He had been busy and had no time to check it out.

Wang San has been responsible for delivering beef jerky from Ningzhou to Fucheng. When Tao Zhen came over, he was chatting with Zhuo Jing. I don’t know what he said. Zhuo Jingle laughed happily and looked at it from a distance. The two of them are a perfect match.

"What laughing?"

Wang San was startled when Tao Zhen came over. Seeing Tao Zhen, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I just have something for you."

Tao Zhen: "What?"

Wang San took out a package and said, "Aunt Pei gave it to me yesterday and asked me to bring it to you."

Tao Zhen looked at it and saw that it should be autumn thick clothes. It was not cold when she came out and she didn't bring any thick clothes. She originally thought she would go back in the next two days and just make do with it. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Pei brought it. , Tao Zhen felt warm in his heart.

Taking the clothes, she returned home. Pei Zhan had come back and was warming himself by the stove. He saw the package in her hand and asked, "Have you bought clothes?"

Tao Zhen said: "My mother asked Wang San to bring it to us."

Pei Zhan was taken aback.

Tao Zhen: "What's wrong?"

She saw two packages on the table, walked over and opened them. Inside were two brand new autumn clothes. They were thick, warm and beautiful. They must have cost a lot of money.

Tao Zhen liked it very much, but he still said: "Isn't it expensive?"

Pei Zhan rubbed his stiff hands: "I went to Brother Lu's place and got back a sum of money."

Tao Zhen said: "You can just save the money you make, and what kind of clothes can you buy for me?"

This was very hypocritical, because Pei Zhan saw that she was already changing clothes. Tao Zhen had always been dressed very plainly. Pei Zhan bought two pieces, one was relatively plain, and the other was red, which was very conspicuous and complemented her. Her skin is as white as snow, bright and attractive.

Pei Zhan's eyes deepened.

"Is it too bright?" Tao Zhen asked.

Pei Zhan shook his head: "No, it's very beautiful."

He came over, raised Tao Zhen's chin with one hand, looked at it for a long time and said, "I like it very much."

Tao Zhen leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips: "Good boy, it's still daytime, please restrain yourself."

Pei Zhan looked down at himself, coughed dryly, and said after a while: "Okay."

Pei Zhan didn't buy it himself. Tao Zhen took out the package sent by Mrs. Pei. As expected, there were two autumn clothes inside, one for Tao Zhen and the other for Pei Zhan. They were both new. Mrs. Pei should have made them for them. of.

"Try it quickly."

Tao Zhen took out his clothes and dropped a letter lightly to the ground. "Did Mom write you a letter?" Tao Zhen picked up the letter and took a look at it and said, "It's written to you, but..."

Pei Zhan also came over and took a look.

Tao Zhen was confused: "Why is it your handwriting? Is your handwriting the same as my mother's?"

The two looked at each other, wondering what the letter meant.

Until Pei Zhan opened the envelope and saw what was inside, both of them were stunned.

There is a map inside, which is very simple and old. The text on it is also in Xianbei script, but someone thoughtfully translated it into Chinese characters. Pei Zhan took the map to read, and Tao Zhen took the other two pieces of paper to read, like They were cut out from various places and carefully pasted together.

"This is what Hu Zhan left behind!" Pei Zhan said.

Tao Zhen nodded.

The map is exactly Ninggu Pagoda and part of Langshan Mountain. As for the newspaper clipping, most of it talks about the history of Xianbei. It should be cut from some books. The most critical point mentioned in the article is...

"The Tomb of Prince Qing?"

The clues left by Hu Zhan are that there is a tomb of King Qing near Langshan. This tomb is very secret and was left by people from the Qing Kingdom in the previous dynasty. The Qing Kingdom was very powerful back then, but as time goes by, there are always a few... He is an unworthy descendant who wantonly squanders the inheritance left by his ancestors.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the people finally couldn't bear the imperial court's food. After a large-scale drought, they revolted. The rebel army invaded the Qing Dynasty and occupied the capital of Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty emperor at that time was still a bit more foolish than the previous emperors. Wise, but no matter how wise a person is, he cannot save this declining kingdom that has rotted from its roots. After the rebels invaded the imperial city, he could only lead his people to flee north in a hurry.

It was also the day when the Qing Dynasty was about to celebrate its death. That winter, there was a heavy snowfall that had never happened in a hundred years in the north. The nobles who fled from the Qing Kingdom were dead and injured. There were pursuers behind them, and in the end not many of them were left.

The emperor also contracted the cold, and his condition worsened. Emperor Qing knew that his time was short, and did not want his ancestors' inheritance to be destroyed in his own hands, so Emperor Qing brought all the precious books from Qing Kingdom and buried the rare treasures in the palace. After arriving at Langshan, the map of the buried treasure was drawn, divided into six parts, and given to his six most trusted cronies.

Each of these six people took the incomplete map and left, hiding, waiting for the Qing King to come back. When the time comes, these treasures and precious books will be the basis for their restoration.

It's a pity that time has passed and things have changed. The emperor of Qing Kingdom failed to escape the serious illness and died soon after. The remaining remnants of Qing Kingdom and the royal family of Qing Kingdom were captured and imprisoned in Ninggu Pagoda until die...

And those six people have not been seen since.

Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan looked at the contents of the letter and didn't know what to say.

It turns out that's the case. No wonder Sun Qiang said it was for the treasure. It seems that what he said was not entirely false.

In that case, the Dashun royal family, Yan Mingxiu, Yan Beiwang, Yan Baiqi and others are probably looking for the tomb of King Qing.

"How did Hu Zhan know this?" Tao Zhen looked at Pei Zhan. The two of them looked at everything else, and there was nothing else.

Tao Zhen didn't even understand why Hu Zhan told them this.

It wasn't actually that cold outside. The stove was lit in the room. After a while, it naturally got a little warm. Tao Zhen took the letter and looked at it over and over for a long time. There was still no other clue. She sighed and was thinking about packing her things away. When she was packing, she saw that there seemed to be some pattern on the envelope containing the items.

Tao Zhen carefully opened the envelope and placed it by the stove. Pei Zhan also came over to look at it. After a while, there was writing on the envelope. It was different from Pei Zhan's handwriting on the outside. It was Hu Zhan's writing.

Hu Zhan made a few strokes of his words, but Tao Zhen and the others understood what was going on.
