Xixia dead book

Chapter 157 The Decisive Battle at the Peak of Helan (42)
"Dead? Only Ma Yuan is the survivor?"

"To be precise, they should have all been killed by the only remaining person!"

"Ah——you mean those people were all killed by Ma Yuan?" Tang Feng was startled.

"This is the most reasonable explanation. According to what Stephen said, Ma Yuan died in the late 20s when he went to Qise Jinhai to look for jade screens; and according to your judgment, Ma Yuan and the others carved oaths on the stone platform , until the killing of the black lama, it should be in the late 40s, and no later than the early 20s. There was more than ten years in between, so just imagine, what has Ma Yuan been doing for these ten years? "

"Look for the jade screen, look for the Micheng of Hanhai!"

"That's right. During this process, the people who made the oath on the stone platform must have experienced many things, just like us. Therefore, before Ma Yuan left the Black Eagle Temple in the late 20s, the people who made the oath with him should have They're all dead."

"That is to say, in the past ten years, all the people who swore on the stone platform died, including Ma Yuan himself?"

"There are two possibilities here again. From the narration of Ma Yuan by the Great Lama Qise Jinhai, it can be seen that Ma Yuan was already the colonel of the Security Bureau at that time, and he had a group of his own people under his command, which can be regarded as his wings gradually flourishing. Therefore, I speculate that he probably killed the few people who took the oath with him on the stone platform during the past ten years, and then erased the names of those people. Of course, there is another possibility that those people They died of natural causes in the past ten years, or died in the process of searching for Yuchaping. But if this is the case, this does not explain why the names of those people were erased." Han Jiang said in one breath own judgment.

"According to your deduction, that mysterious expert 'X' should also be one of the people who swore on the stone platform."

"Well, I think it should be like this. Now according to my speculation, we can connect the whole context of the incident." At this time, a gradually complete picture scroll seemed to appear in front of Han Jiang.

Seeing that Tang Feng still didn't believe his inference, Han Jiang didn't explain it, and continued to describe the scroll that had unfolded in front of his eyes: "First of all, this expert 'X' first discovered a jade screen in Dunhuang and cracked it. The Xixia text above, but suffering from a lack of resources, has no way to find the rest of the jade screens, so it is likely that he told Kozlov something about the jade screens in Qinghai in early 1909. Because according to our previous According to the information we have, the jade screen in Dunhuang should be engraved with the storage location of the jade screen in Heishuicheng, which we will soon let Professor Luo decipher."

"Yes! We can deduce this point without Professor Luo's deciphering it. But based on this alone, it can be concluded that Kozlov went to Heishui City after listening to the opinion of this so-called expert 'X'. No way. I checked the report written by Kozlov after returning to China, and there is no mention of returning to Heishui City under the guidance of 'X' at all." Tang Feng retorted.

"Of course it is impossible for Kozlov to mention this 'X' in the report. He hopes to attribute all the credit to himself, and 'X' certainly does not want his name to appear in Kozlov's report, so Kozlov It is entirely possible that Zlov omitted this passage in the report."

"Okay, even if your guess is right, Kozlov returned to Heishui City after listening to the advice of this expert 'X', and he also found the jade screen in Heishui City, but this has no effect on this 'X'. How can you help? He didn't get the jade screen!"

Tang Feng's words stopped Han Jiang.Han Jiang pondered for a long time, and said: "I think when 'X' told Kozlov that there is a jade screen in Heishui City, there may have been an agreement between them. 'X' had a chance to get the jade screen, But in the end Kozlov violated this agreement and brought the jade screen back to Petersburg."

"You can continue to make up!" Tang Feng felt that Han Jiang had suddenly become a storyteller with a very rich imagination.

"Believe it or not, I will finish my thoughts first, and you may believe it after hearing it. Although I am not completely sure about the trace of this 'X', this looming 'X' must exist. After Kozlov excavated Heishui City, this 'X' disappeared, but after the rise of the Black Lama, it should be him who dedicated the jade screen in Dunhuang to the Black Lama. Obviously his purpose is to use the Black Lama Use your strength to find all the jade screens, and then find Hanhai Micheng."

"Then this 'X' and Ma Yuan killed the black lama together, and then searched for Yuchaping and Hanhai Micheng together. Let me tell you for you!" Tang Feng laughed.

"Yes! That's it. Don't laugh, do you know what will happen next?"

"What's next? He was killed by Ma Yuan! I said according to your speculation!" Tang Feng said.

"It's just a possibility. Alright! Even if this 'X' died before the end of the 20s, let's not talk about him, let's talk about Ma Yuan first..."

"Ma Yuan? Didn't Ma Yuan also die in the Stone Waterfall Cave in the late 20s?"

"Yes, in the following ten years, on the surface, nothing seemed to happen about Yuchaping until the Sino-Soviet joint scientific expedition team disappeared mysteriously!"

"Actually, there have been undercurrents surging in the past ten years!" Tang Feng said.

"It's like this. There are undercurrents surging in the past ten years. If we say that before Ma Yuan's death, the competition for Yuchaping was the first half; then, the disappearance of the Sino-Soviet joint scientific expedition team was the beginning of the second half; It can be understood as an intermission."

"Oh! Intermission, I think what you said is getting more and more interesting now!" Tang Feng began to believe Han Jiang's inference.

"So, what happened in the past ten years?" Han Jiang asked himself, "It's still starting from the two jade screens that have been discovered. Before, we already know that Kozlov put the jade screen After being brought back to Petersburg, the jade screen attracted the attention of Russian scholar Yi Fengge in the 20s, but Yi Fengge died in the "Great Cleansing" in the 30s. After that, the Great Patriotic War, jade No one cared about the screen insertion. It was not until the early 20s that Misha and Menglev discovered this jade screen in the Winter Palace, and then there was the Sino-Soviet war in the late 30s. Joint scientific expedition team, this is a clue from Russia.

"Looking at the jade screen in Ma Yuan's hand again, this time we finally got some information about their family from Stephen. According to Stephen, when Ma Yuan died in the stone waterfall cave in the Seven Colors Jinhai , Stephen's father, that is, Ma Changguo and another person escaped. This is consistent with what we saw in the stone waterfall cave, so I think what Stephen said is true. Then, also as a secret agent What did Ma Changguo do? After the Kuomintang retreated to the mainland, he did not go to Taiwan, but asked to hide in the mainland. This was an unreasonable move at the time. He must have his own purpose, which is obviously For the jade screen."

"Well, I can only explain it this way, these people are all fascinated by Yu Chaping!"

"Stephen didn't say what his father did during the years of lurking in the mainland, and when he left the mainland. But I guess that Ma Changguo is probably related to the disappearance of the scientific expedition team." Han Jiang speculated boldly.

"Oh? Do you suspect that Ma Changguo also entered the Badain Jaran Desert with the expedition team?"

"I don't think Ma Changguo can get into the scientific expedition team, but he is likely to follow the scientific expedition team."

"According to what you said, he was also a survivor when the scientific expedition team had an accident at the end? Liang Yunjie, Makarov, Misha, and now there is Ma Changguo..." Tang Feng was thinking about this and that one by one. Survivors related to the scientific expedition.

"Maybe Ma Changguo is not just a survivor, he may also be a murderer!"

"murderer?"

"Did you forget? When the old horse reported to the KGB chairman Shelepin, he said that the day before their accident, the two large boxes of drinking water carried by the scientific expedition team all leaked out. This is likely to be deliberately sabotaged. The scientific expedition The team also encountered an accident when they went out to search for water after losing drinking water." Han Jiang's speculation became more and more bold.

"Do you suspect that Ma Changguo put those two boxes of water on purpose?"

"Who else is there? The members of the scientific expedition team are all strictly selected by China and the Soviet Union. It is impossible to mix with spies, and no one wants to die of thirst in the desert because they have no water to drink. Therefore, it is impossible to be a scientific expedition team. It was done by members of the test team."

"It makes sense, Ma Changguo is the most likely. But what is his motive for doing this? Is it just to annihilate the entire scientific expedition team?"

"Motivation?" Han Jiang rolled his eyes, "Motivation, I think... I think the scientific expedition team was probably already close to the Hanhaimi city they were looking for. Ma Changguo didn't want the scientific expedition team to find the Hanhaimi city. So he released the drinking water of the scientific expedition team, just to let the scientific expedition team retreat in the face of difficulties, and then let him discover Hanhai Micheng."

"This lunatic, is he alone?"

"Perhaps he has accomplices."

"The scientific expedition team was too impatient. They went straight into the desert without finding all four pieces of jade screens. As expected, something happened!" Tang Feng sighed.

"Don't forget that it was the era of the Great Leap Forward. Both sides were eager to find Hanhai Micheng, so they organized such a huge scientific expedition team. They thought that there was strength in numbers, but in fact, this is not something that can be accomplished with a large number of people!"

Han Jiang continued: "An accident happened to the scientific expedition team, and the governments of China and the Soviet Union have both adopted a peaceful approach. Both governments have lost interest in finding this vast city. We already know from the Soviet side that Makarov was recruited. After entering the KGB, Misha was tightly protected by the KGB, the jade screen was sealed up, and related documents were destroyed. I think it is almost the same here.

"It seems that this matter has come to an end, but it is not. The surviving Ma Changguo did not dare to stay in the mainland. He even ignored Taiwan's instructions and hurried across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and over the Himalayas to India. Then he did not dare to go to Taiwan. He sailed directly across the ocean to the United States, and then hid in Tibet and lived in seclusion in the American countryside until he heard that a jade screen was going to be auctioned in Beijing. We already know what happened after that.”

"If what Stephen said is not bad, then Ma Changguo has not made any moves in the past few decades."

"Well, I believe what Stephen said. In retrospect, when he told us all this, I'm afraid he was ready to die with Stechkin."

"Yes! People who are about to die have good words!" Tang Feng sighed.

"Ma Changguo has been hiding in Tibet by guarding the jade screen in Dunhuang, and has not moved. Let's go back and look at Russia. The jade screen in Heishui City was sealed by the KGB in the basement of the Winter Palace until it was released. Tymoshin found out. On the surface, Russia seems to have no action, but now that I think about it, it is not the case. On the contrary, Russia has been undercurrents for decades. First of all, Misha. Misha was strictly controlled by the KGB. But the lost year of 1964 was very suspicious. According to Yelena's investigation, there must be something wrong with the agents who protected Misha around 1964, but when Yelena found them, Breining was burned died; Stechkin escaped from prison."

"Now Stechkin has openly appeared in front of us, which proves that there are problems with those agents!"

"Elena suspects that there may be another person besides Brening, Stechkin, and Isakov." As he spoke, Han Jiang drew a circle on the name "Black Water City" on the paper, and wrote beside it I got off "X2" and drew a circle heavily on "X2".

"I thought about it too, but I still can't confirm the existence of this 'X2'."

"Yes, and then there was the forward base that Lao Ma and Bultenko were in charge of. Originally, when Lao Ma mentioned this forward base to us, it seemed to have nothing to do with the jade screen, but the appearance of the mysterious tattoo , but these two seemingly unrelated things are connected.”

"Yeah! When the old horse said it, I was really shocked. The totem of the ancient tribe of Dangxiang appeared on the members of the black lama team, on the students of the forward base, and on the mysterious people who fought against us. In the members of the organization, is there any connection between these three?"

"There must be a connection." Han Jiang thought for a while, and continued, "The black lama's team was first led by the black lama, and then Ma Yuan. After Ma Yuan's death, who is leading this team?"

"Ma Changguo?"

"We don't know yet, maybe this team was broken up later and doesn't exist anymore..."

"It should be like this. Otherwise, Ma Changguo would not have gone to the United States alone and hid in Tibet."

"But there is another possibility that this team is taken over by someone else."

"Who will the other person be? The people who made the oath on the stone platform should all be dead. Besides Ma Changguo, who else can take over this team?"

"I don't know. Let's look at the mysterious organization that has been fighting against us. The leader of this organization is the 'General'. Who is the General? We don't know. What is the internal connection between him, the black lama's team, and the students at the advance base?" , I can’t say right now.”

"Maybe we are overwhelmed. According to Stephen, those people were very civilized when they tattooed him, not like Burdenko. Maybe they are two-way people at all, maybe Burdenko is just like what he said Yes, he saw that ancient totem, and then used it to teach disobedient students."

"I hope so, but since I heard what the old horse said, I have always suspected that this tattoo is not that simple."

"Maybe, Yelena's investigation can help us solve some mysteries..." Tang Feng murmured.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang fell silent.After a long time, Tang Feng sighed: "Looking back now, the auction is not the beginning of the whole event, but only the continuation of the second half."

"That's right! It's an overtime game, but we're all involved in this overtime game. Now let's talk about the auction. Stephen said that the auction was a game set up by the general. It suddenly dawned on me that some of the mysteries that we could not solve before have been solved."

"That's right! The general set up an auction to attract Ma Changguo who has been hiding for many years. I didn't expect Ma Changguo to hide in Tibet for so many years, but he still couldn't help but show up. Although he asked Fanny to show up , but the general still followed the vine, found Stephen, and then found Ma Changguo, not only let Stephen work for him, but also got the jade screen! Kill two birds with one stone! Brilliant!"

Han Jiang smiled: "I'm afraid the scheming general can kill two birds with one stone!"

"Oh?" Tang Feng was puzzled.

"He not only solved Ma Changguo's side through the auction, but also lured Liang Yunjie out."

"Liang Yunjie? But I think Liang Yunjie and I were unfortunately involved in the end!"

"You were drawn in by your curiosity, but Liang Yunjie was definitely not. I still dare not say that the general set up this game to deliberately target Liang Yunjie, but I can be sure that he set up this game not only to lure Ma Changguo, but also Hope to lure all the people who know the secret of Yuchaping, Liang Yunjie is obviously one of them." Han Jiang deduced.

Tang Feng nodded: "There is indeed some truth in what you said, it seems that I am the only one who is unlucky!"

"Whether Liang Yongquan is real or pretending, in short, he has no interest in Yuchaping, so he escaped a catastrophe."

"Hmph, thinking about it this way, he really dropped the bomb on us by giving us that piece of jade screen."

"He threw it right. Liang Yongquan probably heard something about the jade screen from Liang Yunjie, so he knew that he was incapable of solving this matter. Only we can solve this matter. Why don't we throw the bomb at us. But this guy is unwilling to give up the jade screen that is worth tens of millions, so he made a gentleman's agreement with us, and after the matter is resolved, the jade screen must be returned to him."

"Hehe, fortunately Liang Yuan is different from her father!"

"What? Scared? Scared, don't date someone's daughter!"

"I'm afraid? I think Yelena will be enough for you in the future!" Tang Feng retorted.

"Come on! Get it! Get it! Let's stop talking, let's talk about the following. The unexpected result of the auction may have caught the general by surprise. They didn't expect that the jade screen would be photographed by the rich and powerful Liang Yunjie, so they killed Liang Yunjie. They wanted to get back Yuchaying. But because we intervened in time, their plot failed. Later, Stephen worked for the general, but he lost all his money in Hong Kong, so he could only work harder for the general, until this time in He Lanshan has completely broken with the general!" Han Jiang finally connected all the situations he had mastered.
