Xixia dead book

Chapter 169 The KGB and the CIA (6)
Tang Feng nodded, "But there is no evidence to say it. If Yueerquan really has a source of water, then Yueerquan will definitely not be the last camp of the scientific expedition team. The scientific expedition team should go further."

"Wouldn't this explain how Misha discovered Hanhai Micheng? The last camp of the scientific expedition team should be farther away than Yueerquan." Han Jiang deduced.

Tang Feng waved his hand, "It's too early to draw this conclusion."

"Yeah, let's hurry up." Liang Yuan said.

The three of them walked down Obo. As the hotel owner said, there are two roads on the west side of Obo and the northwest side of Obo. There were hardly any ruts on that road.

Han Jiang carefully observed the rut marks on the northwest direction, and there seemed to be no new car marks. Han Jiang looked forward suspiciously, and the lonely land was silent. Could it be that this road is the road leading to Hanhai Micheng?

Tang Feng drove the colorful donkey and ran all the way. The compass and electronic compass showed the northwest direction. However, after the colorful donkey rampaged on the vast Gobi Desert for two hours, Tang Feng still did not find the trace of Jiulibao.

"Did we go wrong?" Liang Yuan muttered.

"How is it possible? You can see that the compass and electronic compass show the direction of northwest, that's right!" Tang Feng checked the compass and electronic compass again.

"Then why haven't you arrived at Jiulibao for so long?"

"We're not going to pass by, are we?" Han Jiang also asked in doubt.

"Passed? Impossible!" Liang Yuan said.

"Yesterday, the hotel owner said that Jiulibao was just a beacon tower in the Han Dynasty. Could it be that we came all the way and drove too fast, so we didn't see it?" Han Jiang wondered.

Tang Feng stopped the car and thought about it carefully, "Already passed? No, it shouldn't be. The place we drove just now was flat and there was no shelter around. I kept staring out the car window. If the beacon tower of the Han Dynasty Near the road, I can't miss it."

"That's weird..." Han Jiang muttered to himself.

At this moment, Liang Yuan suddenly screamed, startling both Tang Feng and Han Jiang, "Why are you yelling?" Tang Feng scolded.

"Look quickly, point... the compass, and... the electronic compass!" Liang Yuan's voice changed.

Tang Feng was surprised to find that the compass car and electronic compass that had shown the northwest direction just now had completely changed to the southeast direction. Han Jiang hurriedly checked the GPS again, and the coordinates displayed by the GPS were actually near the road, "Damn, What's going on?" Han Jiang said angrily.

Tang Feng couldn't believe his eyes, "What should we do now?" Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang.

"Keep going." Han Jiang said bitterly.

Tang Feng restarted the car, and the car fell into silence. Sure enough, they drove on the road again after not driving for a long time.

Tang Feng continued to drive along the road. Half an hour later, they returned to the motel. Before Tang Feng could stop the car, Han Jiang jumped out of the car and rushed to the hotel door, but saw that the hotel door was closed. Unlocking the lock, Han Jiang kicked the door violently, shaking off a thick layer of dust, but no one was there.

"Damn it, we must have been tricked!" Han Jiang returned to the car and cursed.

"Could it be that the owner of the hotel belongs to the general?" Liang Yuan asked.

"Not necessarily, but that guy is definitely not a good person." Han Jiang said angrily.

"That is to say, that guy's words are not believable anymore?" Tang Feng said.

Han Jiang panted, looked at the vast desert beside the road, and did not speak.After a long time, Han Jiang suddenly said decisively: "Stay on the same path as before."

"Still walking the same way? Then we're going back again?" Tang Feng was puzzled.

"Go to Obo first."

After Han Jiang finished speaking, he pushed Tang Feng to the co-pilot's seat, drove the car by himself, and rushed into the desert again.

Soon, Han Jiang drove the colorful donkey to Aobao again. Han Jiang told Tang Feng and Liang Yuan: "Don't get out of the car, I'll go down and have a look."

Han Jiang boarded the Obo, observed carefully for a long time, then jumped off, restarted the car, and turned around the Obo, Tang Feng hurriedly asked: "Where are we going?"

"Go west this way!" After finishing speaking, Han Jiang stepped on the accelerator, and the colorful donkey flew westward like an arrow off the string.

About a quarter of an hour after Han Jiang drove out, a fork appeared on the flat Gobi. Han Jiang jumped out of the car and carefully identified the ruts on the road. A signpost was put up, and a path was looming to the northwest.

"Look, there are not many ruts on this path, but there is one that was left recently. Let's follow this new rut." Han Jiang seemed quite sure.

The three of them got back into the car and rushed down to the northwest. Half an hour later, Tang Feng called out first, "Look, there is a beacon on the right front."

Han Jiang and Liang Yuan also saw a tall beacon on the desolate Gobi desert, "That is the beacon of the Han Dynasty!" Tang Feng recognized the age of the beacon at a glance.

Han Jiang slammed the steering wheel and drove towards the beacon tower of the Han Dynasty. The colorful donkey drew a beautiful arc on the vast Gobi, and finally stopped firmly in front of the beacon tower.

The three jumped out of the car, Liang Yuan looked up at the beacon in front of her, and murmured, "This is Jiulibao?"

"It should be!" Han Jiang checked the compass and electronic compass, and this time the direction was correct.

For a long time, the two of them didn't see Tang Feng talking, and turned their heads to look, Tang Feng suddenly shouted: "I'm so stupid!" Han Jiang and Liang Yuan looked at Tang Feng in astonishment, Tang Feng explained: "Yesterday I asked the hotel Regarding the situation of the boss Jiulibao, he can actually accurately say that Jiulibao is a beacon tower of the Han Dynasty. Just think about it, a person with no knowledge of history and archaeology, even if he has been to Jiulibao, can immediately tell that it is a Is it the beacon tower of the Han Dynasty?"

"Yeah! So, there must be something wrong with this guy." Han Jiang said.

"Hmph, I'm sorry that I was cheated out of hundreds of dollars by that guy!" Liang Yuan began to feel sorry for money again at this moment.

"To you, a few hundred yuan is just a splash of water!" Tang Feng laughed, causing Liang Yuan to punch her in the face.

Although he was very disappointed, Tang Feng still surveyed the beacon tower of the Han Dynasty meticulously. The shape of the beacon tower is undoubtedly the Han Dynasty. However, Tang Feng did not find any cultural relics of the Han Dynasty around the beacon tower. "Jiuli Fort" on the map and Misha's sketch, but without any cultural relics and evidence, how to prove it?
When Tang Feng turned to the northwest corner of the beacon, he found that the northwest corner had collapsed, and a small hole was exposed at the collapsed position. Tang Feng climbed to the edge of the hole and looked inside. It was pitch black inside. Tang Feng turned his head and shouted at Liang Yuan. Said: "Torch."

Liang Yuan quickly delivered a flashlight to Tang Feng. Tang Feng used the light of the flashlight to see the inside of the cave clearly. The space inside was not large, and there was a thick layer of dust. Tang Feng guessed that this was what fell inside when the beacon tower collapsed. , Among the silted dust, Tang Feng observed carefully, and there were some things like wooden boards faintly exposed in the dusty soil. Tang Feng wanted to reach for the wooden board, but he tried, but he couldn't reach it, unless the hole was made bigger. But Tang Feng didn't want to further damage this beacon, after all, it has stood here silently for more than 2000 years.

Just when Tang Feng was hesitating, Liang Yuan's voice came from behind, "I'll come!"

"You? I can't even reach it, but you can?" Tang Feng asked suspiciously.

"You hold me, I'll go into the hole, it's enough."

Tang Feng thought about it, it was a good idea, so Tang Feng hugged Liang Yuan's waist, and was about to dive into the hole, "Hold tight!" Liang Yuan shouted.

"I'm tight enough!" Tang Feng said with a hint of grievance, and Han Jiang laughed loudly behind him, "What are you laughing at! Come if you have the ability!" Tang Feng shouted at Han Jiang.

"I can't, it's better for you to come, you come, the two of you must cooperate well!"

Liang Yuan had already poked her head into the cave entrance, Tang Feng hugged Liang Yuan's waist tightly, and said softly, "Be careful!" As soon as Tang Feng finished speaking, Liang Yuan, who had already poked half of her body into the cave, Suddenly screamed.

Hearing Liang Yuan screaming, Tang Feng hurriedly pulled Liang Yuan out with all his strength. Liang Yuan closed her eyes and was still screaming. Now, where are you hurt?"

Seeing Tang Feng's nervous look, Liang Yuan suddenly stopped screaming and smiled.

"Why are you smirking?" Tang Feng was confused by Liang Yuan.

"Let me try your reflexes! Not bad, the reflexes are quite fast." Liang Yuan laughed even more happily.

"When you yelled just now, you scared me to death!" Only then did Tang Feng realize that he had been fooled by Liang Yuan.

"Just to test whether you care about me or not! Yes, I am very satisfied with the results of the experiment."

"You are satisfied, but I am very dissatisfied." Tang Feng was a little annoyed.

"I got this, are you satisfied!" Liang Yuan said, and suddenly took out a small wooden board from behind as if by magic.

Tang Feng recognized at a glance that this was the wooden board mixed in the dust just now. He took the wooden board and looked it over, "This is a wooden tablet from the Han Dynasty."

"What is a wooden tablet?" Liang Yuan asked.

"Wooden tablets, like bamboo slips, were the main carrier of writing from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. There is drought and little rain here, so this piece of wooden tablet can be preserved forever." Tang Feng explained.

"Then what's written on it?"

Tang Feng brushed away the dust on the wooden tablet, and vaguely saw a line of words "Juyan...Julipeng".

"Jiulipeng? Jiulibao?! Does this mean the same thing!" Liang Yuan asked.

Tang Feng nodded, "I think it can now be proved that this is Jiulibao, and this piece of wooden tablet further proves that it was already called Jiulipeng as early as the Han Dynasty, but it gradually became Jiulibao later."

After Tang Feng checked the wooden tablet, he asked Liang Yuan to put the wooden tablet back to its original place, and check if there was anything else, "Do you want me to drill it again?" Liang Yuan pouted, seeming a little dissatisfied.

"I will protect you, don't be afraid." Tang Feng said, and hugged Liang Yuan's waist from behind. Liang Yuan's dissatisfaction disappeared instantly, and she obediently got into the beacon again. It took a long time, and he didn't know what Liang Yuan was doing inside, "What are you messing with? So long?"

Suddenly, Liang Yuan's body shook violently, and immediately, Tang Feng heard that heart-piercing scream again. Liang Yuan screamed more fiercely than last time, and her heart was broken. However, Tang Feng This time he has experience, so he won't be fooled by Liang Yuan. Instead of pulling Liang Yuan up immediately, he said with a smile, "Did your father tell you the story of the wolf coming?"

Unexpectedly, Liang Yuan's legs started kicking wildly, and her screaming turned into crying, "Snake! There's a snake—" Liang Yuan cried out in a dragged voice.

Only then did Tang Feng realize that something had happened, and hurriedly pulled Liang Yuan out, but Liang Yuan kicked her legs wildly and didn't cooperate at all. Tang Feng panicked all of a sudden. Fortunately, Han Jiang rushed up in time, and the two of them worked hard together, and finally pulled Liang Yuan was dragged up.

When Liang Yuan saw Tang Feng, she cried and yelled, and her fists kept falling on Tang Feng's chest, "You...you are so desperate to save yourself from death, you still laugh at me!..."

Seeing Liang Yuan's appearance, Tang Feng asked Liang Yuan with concern, "Are you injured?"

Seeing that Liang Yuan was intact and not injured anywhere, Tang Feng felt relieved a little. Liang Yuan was still crying, and Tang Feng hugged Liang Yuan tightly. After a long time, Liang Yuan, who was nestled in Tang Feng's arms, stopped cries.

"Where's the snake? Where did the snake come from?" Han Jiang poked his head into the cave and observed for a long time, but there was no sign of the snake.

"Just... it was in the cave just now. I thought... I wanted to search again to see if there were any cultural relics, but I just picked up the dust on the east side, and a snake... came out." Liang Yuan Still in shock.

"Why are there snakes in this place?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

"Really, that snake is so long!" Liang Yuan even gestured.

Han Jiang looked into the cave again, but still saw no sign of the snake. "Okay, as long as it's okay, Tang Feng will do all the hard work and dirty work in the future!" Han Jiang comforted Liang Yuan.

"Okay! I will do all the hard and dirty work in the future!" Tang Feng had no choice but to try his best to please Liang Yuan, so Liang Yuan smiled through tears.

Liang Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something, and took out a copper coin from the palm of her hand that had been tightly clenched, Tang Feng's eyes lit up, "What is this?"

"This is a copper coin I found on the floating soil. I think this copper coin may be useful to us, so I held it tightly in my hand just now."

Tang Feng originally thought it would be a five baht coin from the Han Dynasty, but when Liang Yuan handed the copper coin to him, Tang Feng realized that it was not a five baht coin, but a rare copper coin. To be precise, it should be a rare Xixia copper coin - Guangding Yuanbao.

[The fourth quarter of Langwa]

Tang Feng held the Xixia copper coin in his hand, and remained silent. Han Jiang got impatient and urged, "Just one copper coin, is it worth staring at it for so long?"

Tang Feng put away the copper coins and said, "It would be great if scientific archaeological excavations could be conducted here."

"Stop dreaming, we don't have this condition now!" Han Jiang said angrily.

"That's right, but just based on the Han Dynasty wooden tablet and this Xixia copper coin, we can see many problems. First of all, the text on the wooden tablet proves that this is Jiulibao, and as early as the Han Dynasty, this place was the frontier defense. The fortress; and the discovery of this Xixia copper coin shows that there are still people here until Xixia, and it is even possible that this place is still a frontier fortress in Xixia." Tang Feng boldly speculated.

"How is this possible? The beacon towers built by the Han Dynasty were still in use in Xixia?" Han Jiang shook his head.

"It's entirely possible."

"Even if there is such a possibility, so what?"

"Explanation first, this is Jiulibao, and the path we are taking is correct; second, there were party members' activities here during the Xixia period, and we can infer from this that this place was probably in the Xixia period, connecting Hanhaimi City and Xingqing Mansion. A border fortress in between." Tang Feng said this, and looked at Han Jiang, "Okay, my mission in Jiulibao has been completed, and it's your turn!"

"Hmph, you thought I was idle just now. When you were surveying the beacon tower, I had already checked the surrounding ruts." Han Jiang jumped off the beacon tower, walked to the side of the road, and said, "The rut that accompanied us has been going all the way. Aobao extended to Jiulibao, and then, like me, circled around Jiulibao and headed northwest again."

"Langwa? They also went to Langwa!" Tang Feng immediately thought of the next stop, Langwa.

"I think so, but I want to point out that, further to the northwest, there is no road at all."

"There is no road?" Tang Feng and Liang Yuan looked northwest at the same time. Basically, there was no road on the ground, only a rut stretching continuously to the northwest.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the northwest too!" Liang Yuan seemed to regain her courage.

"Yes, we are going to the northwest, but I need to remind you here, have you ever thought about who this new rut is? Why has it been leading to the wolf valley with no road without hesitation?" Han Jiangyu said earnestly. asked.

"Of course they are not ordinary people. They must be people who are interested in Hanhai Micheng. I think it is probably the general's car!" Tang Feng deduced.

Han Jiang didn't say anything else, just shrugged his shoulders, then got into the cab, started the colorful donkey again, and drove towards the depths of the desert.

The colorful donkey bumped all the way, and the loud sound of the engine, accompanied by the wind outside the car window, kept the three of them silent. When it was approaching noon, Han Jiang slowly slowed down the car, "Why, did you see Langwa?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang loudly.

"I think it should be almost the same. According to your analysis, Langwa should be a depression, or even a water bubble. There are no prominent buildings on the side of the road, so we may not see Langwa when we are sitting in the car." Han Jiang said loudly .

Tang Feng stared intently at the scenery outside the car window, which was a desert scenery, "Let's hurry up, I don't want to spend the night in Langwa tonight."

"You mean we'll spend the night in Qianhu Town tonight?" Han Jiang asked back.

"The slowest we have to get to Qianhu Town, otherwise we might end up with wolves."
