"It's deep in the Liangshan Mountains, 300 miles away. When I was training in the northern border, I often went hunting in the mountains with several soldiers in the army. That winter, I chased a silver wolf to a place that could be called a paradise.

At that time, other places were covered with ice and snow, but there, the originally still world was full of vitality as if it were spring. The river was surging, the mountain flowers were in full bloom, and herds of cattle and sheep were drinking water, walking, and wandering by the river..."

Shen Jia frowned slightly. The place Xiao Yichen mentioned was somewhat similar to a hot spring in his previous life. He didn't know if they were related.

"Are there many springs there, and are the water coming out warm?"

"Yes, some of those springs had a pungent taste, while others were sweet, and the temperature varied. I took off my clothes and jumped into the river to take a bath. The surging spring water gently massaged my limbs and all my fatigue and tiredness disappeared. Surprisingly, the river froze again three miles out of the mountain. So I was particularly impressed."

Shen Jia nodded secretly, thinking that it must be similar to the holy spring in his previous life.

"We can't delve into these natural phenomena, so we should just treat them as gifts from nature. What we need to do now is to find out if there is something fishy going on there."

The Liangshan Mountains are the largest mountain range in northern Xinjiang, stretching for more than 2,000 miles and spanning Tacheng, Wucheng and Mocheng.

The entire mountain range is basically primeval forest, with tigers, blind bears, lions, wolves and other ferocious beasts everywhere.

Also, because the northern border is vast and sparsely populated, the official roads are all far away from the Liangshan Mountains. The areas under the jurisdiction of the three cities, except Yu County, are relatively far away from the mountains, so there are very few incidents of wild beasts coming down the mountain to eat people.

Shen Jia's slender and smooth fingers gently stroked the texture and shape of the teacup and was silent for a long time: "Let's make a bold assumption. If the address above is the place you said, is there a possibility that there is a treasure or gold mine there, and Amur has dug up a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and other good things, and used them to buy food and grass..."

Xiao Yichen pondered for a moment: "This possibility is still very high, otherwise where did their food and grass come from? If this assumption is true, this treasure map is very likely given to him by Xiao Hongbin..."

Shen Jia raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Yichen smiled awkwardly: "I guessed. I just thought that if Amur had this treasure long ago, he would not have allowed people to rob the people of Tacheng of their food." He paused, "However, nomadic people are aggressive by nature and like to plunder. It is also possible that they like to rob others and are happy to see others suffer..."

Shen Jia stroked his chin in thought, "I think what you said makes some sense. Otherwise, it doesn't explain why Xiao Hongbin is so proud and happy in this situation."

A stray dog ​​like Xiao Hongbin, even if he reached a consensus with the Tatars, after seeing the power of the bomb and with few soldiers under his command and basically relying on external aid, would generally live in fear and trembling, scratching his ears and cheeks in worry, losing his appetite, and trying every means to save the situation.

But in reality, Xiao Hongbin lives a leisurely and comfortable life, which is a bit hard to understand.

A person like him, who is meticulous and has more tricks than a sieve, will only feel relaxed and happy when he is sure of victory.

Xiao Yichen obviously thought of this as well, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go find out tomorrow."

"Okay. If our guess is true, who left this treasure? How did Xiao Hongbin get the deerskin map?"

"I have seen records in the imperial secret history that when Taizu ascended the throne, the imperial palace and the treasury were empty. There was nothing. And the most beloved son of the last emperor of the previous dynasty died in the northern border..."

"According to what you said, we really have to go on this trip."

"Yes! And they want to transport so much food and fodder, why can't our scouts find out?"

"Do you suspect that our people have betrayed us?" "No, that's not the case. I suspect that they have some unknown secret passages or paths leading to here from other cities."

"Well! This possibility is still very high. After all, you have been away from Northern Xinjiang for several years. Even if there are any changes in these years, if someone helps to cover it up, you probably won't be able to know the changes because the mountains are high and the roads are long."

"Call Master Ling and Shen Hao tomorrow."

"That's a good idea. Although my eldest brother's martial arts skills are a little bit worse than those of eldest brother Ling, he is also an expert among experts and can help a lot."

The two of them broke down everything and analyzed it carefully. After relaxing, they felt hungry and sleepy again. After breakfast, they washed up and rested.

When Shen Jia woke up, it was already the afternoon. The setting sun shone through the window, bringing warmth and comfort.

She stretched herself, stood up, washed up, had a quick meal, and went to the East and West military camps with Xiao Yichen to watch the soldiers train.

When the soldiers who were training saw them coming, they quietly straightened their backs, moved their hands more neatly, and shouted slogans more loudly.

Seeing this, generals Yi Zhenpeng, Luo Yan and others knew that they wanted to perform well in front of Xiao Yichen and Shen Jia. They cursed them inwardly, "bastards", but they couldn't hide the satisfaction in their eyes.

Xiao Yichen nodded in satisfaction, walked to the center of the arena, motioned for them to stop, and said loudly: "Soldiers, thank you for your hard work!"

"Train hard! Fight hard! Defend our country!" The voice resounded through the sky and soared into the clouds.

Shen Jia nodded with a smile. This slogan was proposed by her in order to boost the morale of the soldiers. As expected, the result was quite good.

Seeing that they had been training day and night without any slackness, Shen Jia, who was in a very good mood, slowly walked to Xiao Yichen, with a smile on his lips: "I have a set of grappling fighting techniques, do you want to learn it?"

"Think!" the soldiers in the audience blurted out and roared loudly.

They were not stupid. It was a great blessing for them that the princess was willing to teach them grappling and fighting techniques. It was always good to have many skills. Learning more kung fu meant more protection. This was an opportunity that was hard to come by.

Shen Jia nodded in satisfaction. "The purpose of teaching you this set of grappling and fighting techniques is to enable you to more effectively injure the enemy with bare hands without weapons, protect yourself, and complete the task excellently."

Shen Jia glanced at the excited soldiers below the stage, then changed his tone and said seriously, "However, this set of grappling and fighting techniques is fierce and brutal. Every move is a ruthless one, and one move can kill or injure the opponent. You must promise this princess that you will not use it to commit evil, otherwise, you will be held accountable. Can you do it?"

The soldiers had never seen Shen Jia so serious before, and guessed that the grappling and fighting techniques she was going to teach must be extraordinary. They couldn't help but feel excited. If the occasion was not inappropriate, they would have danced with joy.

Everyone then responded in unison: “We can do it.”

Shen Jia smiled slowly: "Very good! After the war is over, you just need to sign the letter of guarantee."

"Yes." (End of chapter)
