Tang Feng inspected several pieces of jade pieces carefully, and the two pieces of jade pieces unearthed later were of the same quality as the first piece, and even some of the textures were still connected. From this, it can be deduced that several pieces of jade pieces were divided on a large piece of jade. down.Looking at the above text again, the second piece of jade is written: The Empress Dowager of the Great Xia Kingdom of Baigao begs for longevity, mountains and rivers, ancestors and ancestors, bless our country for generations to come, Guozuo Yongchang, no Tibetan people Ding is prosperous, and the six animals are prosperous.

"Although the empress dowager of Xixia did not specify on this piece of jade, it can be seen from "Ding Xingwang, a member of the Wuzang family", that the empress dowager who made this piece of jade should be Empress Wuzang." Tang Feng deduced road.

"Judging from this piece of jade jade, the Empress Dowager Wuzang is not as authoritarian as we inferred before! She just prayed on the jade jade to bless the prosperity of the Wuzang family and the prosperity of the six animals. This prayer is nothing Inappropriate." Makarov asked puzzled.

"That's right! It stands to reason that this Yugui is going to be thrown into the golden well, and outsiders can't see it at all. If the empress dowager didn't have the exclusive power, it could be written more straightforwardly on Yugui, but she didn't." Tang Feng was also very impressed. incomprehensible.

"Look at what is written on the third piece of jade." Han Jiang said.

"The third piece of jade is written: The emperor of Baigao Daxia Kingdom, named Liangzuo Fuqi Changshengtian, mountains, rivers and mountains, ancestors and ancestors, bless our country for generations to come, Guozuo Yongchang, and kill the Wuzang clan. "When Tang Feng finished reading the last few words, he shuddered all over his body, "Pull the Wuzang family. It seems that before Liang Zuo made up his mind to kill the Wuzang family, he had been here before, here to express his gratitude to Changshengtian, mountains, rivers and mountains. , the ancestors and the ancestors prayed, and threw the jade jade written in advance into the golden well."

"Later, Liang Zuo really succeeded in killing the Wuzang family and regaining power." Han Jiang said.

"Almost every Xixia emperor's ascension to the throne was accompanied by bloody wind and merciless killings! Empress Wuzang, this mysterious woman, what kind of woman is she? Or is it just an ordinary mother?" Tang Feng thought of the lost skull again.

"Tang Feng, don't worry about not hiding the queen. I dug up three pieces of jade and brought them up, but the jade screen is still missing!" Han Jiang became a little impatient.

"Okay! Let me tell you what I think. When I found this well, I thought that this is not only the most noble place on the top of the mountain, but also the most important and noble place in the entire Black Eagle Temple, so this well is very important. It may be the golden well where the emperor of Xixia put Yugui. Do you still remember the whereabouts of the four jade screens mentioned by the great lama to us in the Qise Jinhai?" Before Han Jiang opened his mouth, Tang Feng continued, " The great lama said that the four jade screens were sent to the east, south, west, and north by Dangxiang warriors when the Western Xia Dynasty fell. Then, just imagine, the jade screen sent to Helan Mountain will put Where is it? I will definitely choose a place that is the most dangerous and the least likely to be found. If the party warrior knows the existence of Jin Jing, he will undoubtedly feel that it is most appropriate to put it here."

"Why not in the Sutra Library?" Han Jiang asked.

"Because the scripture building was built on the top of the mountain, it is easy to be hit by thunder and fire. Maybe when Xixia fell, the scripture building had already been destroyed by thunder and fire." Han Jiang wanted to say something else, but Tang Feng continued without waiting for him to speak. , "I can also explain why it is not placed in the back hall. Because although it is hidden there, it is not insurmountable. If someone enters the front hall, they will choose to enter the back hall first, and will not think that the jade screen will be stored in the golden well. Middle. Why not just find a place to bury it? Because the hidden treasure is for people to find in the future, so it must be hidden in a specific place, and you can’t just bury the jade screen in any place. Hide the jade screen in the golden well Among them, it is both unexpected and difficult to obtain. In addition, there are vultures for protection. At the same time, this has left clues for those who are interested.”

"Yes! What you said makes sense. But what about the jade screen? It stands to reason that the three pieces of jade were invested in Jinjing in the early days of Xixia, and the jade screen was sent when Xixia died. It's right to be above Yugui!" Han Jiang raised his own doubts.

"According to common sense, this is the case, but maybe the person who hid the treasure deliberately played a joke on us!" Tang Feng still looked confident.

"You mean the jade screen is still below?"

"This Dangxiang warrior must be a courageous and resourceful person. Think about it, after the Wuzang family lost power, Liang Zuo ordered to 'close the upper temple, demolish the plank road, and prevent outsiders from prying'. This Dangxiang warrior must have suffered a lot. He put the Jade Chaping in the golden well because of the pain, so he will do everything possible to make it difficult for future generations to find the Jade Chaping.”

"I understand. That party warrior must have taken out a few pieces of jade, then buried the jade screen deeply, and then put a few pieces of jade on it. In this way, those who don't know where to steal treasure will never I thought that Yuchaping would be under Yugui." Han Jiang seemed to have a sense of enlightenment.He swung the shovel again, only this time he was much more careful.

Han Jiang cautiously continued to dig down, and he found that the soil further down was much firmer, as if someone did it on purpose.His digging speed became unusually slow.Time passed by, and he never dug out Yugui again.But when he dug to a depth of three meters, the shovel in Han Jiang's hand touched something hard.

Years of experience allowed Han Jiang to immediately tell that this thing was harder than the compacted soil around it.

"Meet it!" Han Jiang shouted excitedly.

"What happened?" Tang Feng asked with concern.

"A hard thing." Han Jiang dropped the engineering shovel and began to dig out the soil with both hands. 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes... A few minutes passed, and Han Jiang's hands almost kept repeating the movement of digging the soil, and his heart was beating wildly.Finally, his fingers touched something soft.What's this?Jade screen should never be like this!Han Jiang was startled, and hurriedly used a flashlight to take a picture. It was a dark mass, like sand, but it was not.His heart sank suddenly: "Tang Feng, what's going on? Why is the jade screen missing?"

Tang Feng leaned over the mouth of the well and poked his head in, took a photo with a flashlight, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this is rotten wood. It seems that this jade screen must have been packed in a beautiful wooden box back then, but because of the age , the wooden box has rotted. These black things are the residue of the wooden box."

Hearing what Tang Feng said, Han Jiang felt relieved a little, and hurriedly planed away those black wood residues.Soon, a whole snow-white and moist jade screen appeared in front of Han Jiang.

Han Jiang couldn't hide his excitement, carefully lifted Yuchaping out of the golden well, and then jumped up himself.Tang Feng took the jade screen, stroked and felt it with both hands, and then handed the jade screen to Makarov.Following Professor Luo, Tang Feng's ability to recognize Xixia characters has improved by leaps and bounds.At this time, although Tang Feng really wanted to decipher the text on the jade screen immediately and see the map on the jade screen, he wanted everyone to share the joy of victory first.

"Now it seems that all four pieces of jade screens have been found. The two pieces of Heishuicheng and Animaqing Mountain are already in our hands, and the piece of Helan Mountain has also been found. Only the piece originally hidden in Dunhuang, It was taken away by the general." Tang Feng concluded.

"It seems that there is still a life-and-death struggle between us and the general!" Han Jiang muttered to himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Han Jiang finished speaking, a voice came from behind the crowd: "This competition can now start ahead of schedule."

The three of them were shocked and turned to look together.Han Jiang and Makarov reacted quickly, turning around and drawing their guns at the same time.On the top of the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, Tang Feng also drew his gun.In front of the three of them stood a thin, bald foreign man.

"Stechkin!" Although Tang Feng was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback.

"Hehe, you are Tang Feng, right? That's right, I'm here." Stechkin's Chinese was very stiff, but he could understand it.

"That mysterious person is you, right?" Makarov asked in Russian.

"Haha, Ivan, I didn't expect us to meet here. Speaking of which, we are also old colleagues. Although we were not together at the time, I also heard of your name when I was in the Leningrad branch. In the woods, there are I carved all the marks along the way, but that has nothing to do with you, it’s just my own marks for fear of getting lost!" Stechkin explained the triangular mark.

"Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong. It's an old habit you left behind in the KGB!"

"Don't mention the KGB. When I was in Ponotska's prison, I thought that I must kill all the KGB people after I got out, but my benefactor made me change my mind."

"Benefactor? You mean the general?"

"haha, yes."

"Who is the general?"

"Ivan, don't be in a hurry!" Speaking of this, Stechkin suddenly said to Tang Feng and Han Jiang in blunt Chinese, "You two don't be in a hurry, if the general wants to see you, you will naturally see him. But if the general doesn't want to see you, you'll never see the general."

"Okay! I won't ask the general, I'll ask another person. Can you tell me how that American White escaped from under your nose?" Makarov asked suddenly.

Stechkin obviously did not expect Makarov to ask this question, he took a slight step back and said, "Ivan, how did you know what happened back then?"

"Don't forget what I do."

"Of course I won't forget. You are a general, and I'm just a prisoner. But...but I can't remember clearly what happened back then." At this point, Stechkin rubbed his head with one hand, A very painful look.

Makarov, Tang Feng and Han Jiang didn't understand why Stechkin had such a strange look when he heard this question. The three of them dared not relax and pointed guns at him together.At the same time, Tang Feng tightly grasped the jade screen in his hand.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Stechkin seemed to recover, and said with a sneer, "Tang Feng, you don't have to hold the jade screen so tightly, it will be mine soon!"

"What?" Tang Feng gripped Yu Chaping even tighter.

"It's better for you to hand over Yuchaping obediently. I promise not to kill you. You should know that if I want your life this time, I can do it long ago. My goal this time is only one-to get Jade screen."

"You are dreaming! There are three of us, and you are alone. Why do you want us to hand over the jade screen!" Han Jiang said angrily.

"Haven't you guys heard of my reputation?" Stechkin was obviously very dissatisfied with Han Jiang's challenge.

"We know you are very powerful, but we are not vegetarian!" Han Jiang didn't know if Stechkin could understand what he said.

After hearing Han Jiang's words, Stechkin was not only not annoyed, but laughed out loud. The laughter shook echoes from the top of the mountain, making Tang Feng's heart skip a beat.After laughing, Stechkin put away his gun and walked towards them.

The three pointed their guns at Stechkin together, but Stechkin showed no sign of fear.Is this guy invulnerable?Tang Feng felt apprehensive. Even Han Jiang and Makarov, who had experienced many battles, didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Stechkin's gourd.

Stechkin approached Tang Feng step by step, and Tang Feng involuntarily took half a step back.

"Tang Feng, hand over the jade screen obediently!" Stechkin shouted at Tang Feng.

Han Jiang and Makarov thought that Stechkin was crazy and were about to shoot, but there was a smirk on Stechkin's face: "Ivan, Han Jiang, if you shoot, you will regret it!"

"Regret?" Han Jiang and Makarov were taken aback.

Just at this moment, behind Stechkin, some people came out from behind the hill on the west side.Tang Feng, Han Jiang, and Makarov took a closer look, and they were all horrified. It was four men in black armor who were holding Yelena and Xu Renyu.Xu Renyu was already unconscious, looking very weak, almost being dragged here; Yelena was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, when she saw Tang Feng, Han Jiang and Makarov, she wanted to shout, but her mouth was sealed by a piece of tape. No sound.

Han Jiang somewhat understood what Stephen said about the accident, and the diamond-shaped mark he saw in the vulture's lair, but he still didn't understand, where did these men in black come from?
"Han Jiang, you must be wondering how we got here." Stechkin took the initiative to speak.

As soon as Stechkin finished speaking, four men in black clothes jumped out from behind the hill on the west side.Han Jiang and Makarov also took a step back, and the three of them leaned close together in a defensive posture.

"I still have a lot of strange questions. How did you catch Yelena and Dr. Xu? How did you find this place? Also, where did you hide just now? Why didn't we find you when we searched all over the mountain?" Han Jiang poured out all the doubts in his heart.

"God! Han Jiang, you want to know too much, I don't have time to tell you everything. But these questions are not difficult, I think with your cleverness, you can think about it after you go back, and you can figure it out!— - That's right! You heard me right, I won't kill you. I killed too many people in the past, so I don't kill people now." Stechkin took two steps forward, "The general said I killed too many people, I should In another way of life, he told me to learn to do business and be a businessman. I just want to get the jade screen, let’s make a fair deal, how about it?”

"Deal?" The three of them took two steps back.

"Exchanging Yelena and this Dr. Xu for the jade screen in your hands, I think this is a fair thing!" Stechkin said his purpose.

"Exchange?!" The three looked at each other.No one would give up Yelena and Xu Renyu, but no one dared to make this determination.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang were at a loss for a moment.At the critical moment, Makarov was still experienced, so he decided to stall for time and wait for the opportunity.So, Makarov said to Stechkin: "This deal is fair, and we can give it to you, because Yelena is much more important than Yuchaying."

"That's good! Ivan, let Tang Feng put the jade screen here first!" Stechkin tapped the grass in front of him with his foot.

"However, you have to let us figure out what's going on. Otherwise, we won't trade with you even if we jump off with the jade screen," Makarov shouted.At this time, the three of them took the initiative to take a few steps back.

"Don't! Don't! Don't! Let's talk about it." Stechkin suddenly changed his smile again.

Tang Feng felt that Stechkin was a bit weird and neurotic. This kind of person did not play cards according to common sense, and often did unexpected things.Makarov felt the same way, and he tried to buy time without offending Stechkin: "I want to know where you went after you were rescued from Ponotska?"

"Going from the North Pole to the tropics! How about it, are you satisfied with my answer?" Stechkin smiled badly.

"Tropical?" Stephkin's answer confirmed Stephen's words, but Makarov pretended not to know.

"Ivan, don't try to trick me, I can only tell you so much."

"So, what happened later? You came to Helan Mountain under the order of the general?"

"That's right! The task given to me by the general is to cooperate with Stephen to get that jade screen."

"But you killed Stephen."

"That's what the general meant. The general has long distrusted Stephen. It can be said that the general has never really trusted Stephen. This time the general ordered me to cooperate with Stephen, in fact, to spy on his actions. If he is still loyal, I don't have to Show up; if Stephen has two intentions, then kill him and complete the mission independently."
