Chapter 399 Arrival
"Why are you the only ones here?"

After the group set off on the road, Zhao Zhuzi walked in the front, while Fang Ming and Sima Xiangqin walked in the back. He immediately realized that there were not many people who came this time, but they brought a lot of things, even two horses. The camel slowly pulled two sand boats, with a large bundle of things firmly tied on them, but because it was wrapped in oilcloth, it was temporarily impossible to see what it was.

"One is that the distance is too far, it is inconvenient for too many people to come, but the most important thing is that I don't want the news to leak out for the time being."

Sima Xiangqin shook his head and said: "During the time since you left, people have been harassing the place we excavated, especially that Li Xue, who used a lot of methods, if it weren't for Sun Ming and Sun Lao Dragging, it is estimated that the place we are digging has been taken away by him."

Fang Ming frowned when he heard this. This incident had already happened before he left. One can imagine how intense it would become after this period of time.

"Isn't it tearing your face now?"

Sima Xiangqin nodded lightly, and said: "Yes, that's exactly the case. That Li Xue recruited a lot of people to exert pressure. Of course, we are not fuel-efficient, so the matter is dragged down like this. Now the scene It's like it's been sealed there, and no one can move it. You don't know, that Li Xue was almost mad, and drove a car to make trouble just the day before we came, and even brought in gangsters. "

"Hmph! But we are not easy to save fuel. He came here in high spirits, but he went back disheveled!"

Fang Ming thought of the masters of the army hidden in the dark, and laughed. He knew that although Sun Ming was only a scholar, he probably had a strong relationship in all aspects. If he really didn't want to dig the place he was digging If you hand it over, it's not so easy for others to leave.

"They thought the imperial mausoleum was in that place, that's why they worked so hard!"

Fang Ming sneered. After entering the desert this time, he met many people, which made him see this matter more clearly.

"You are right. I asked me to follow this Li Xue to check and found out that he has contacts with some foreigners, and a research project he is in charge of has recently been funded by a foreign foundation, and it is a big laugh The funds are worth 500 million U.S. dollars!"

"Then, I checked again. This so-called foundation or company is actually an art company. To put it bluntly, it sells antiques and the like. It seems that it is interested in the antiques in the imperial tomb. .”

Fang Ming's expression turned cold all of a sudden, he hated this kind of person the most.

"This kid... What's the difference between this and betraying the country? It's really for money!"

"Yes, and there should be some clues that people can grasp, but we still can't find out after spending some time."

Fang Ming frowned and thought for a while. He knew that what Sima Xiangqin said took a little effort, of course it was not true.

"Let's ignore this matter for the time being. Now that we have found the imperial tomb, then this matter will be easy to handle."

No matter what kind of struggle, the last thing to look at is the strength, and the focus is on the imperial tomb. Whoever finds it first will take the initiative, so Fang Ming is not worried at this time. As for Li Xue, he will go back later. Just look for an opportunity to clean up the other party when the time comes.

"By the way, how did you find the imperial tomb? It took so long?"

In the past two months, Sima Xiangqin, Fang Ming and others have basically lost contact, and they don't know anything about what happened during the period.

So Fang Ming told Sima Xiangqin what happened during this period in detail.

"Huh? Did you find this place by accident?"

Sima Xiangqin screamed in a low voice.

Fang Ming spread his hands and said, "Yes, that's the truth. I really found it by accident. This can only be said to be God's will."

Niu Ping has a map in his hand, but he is too unclear. This is why he has entered the desert countless times in the past few decades, but he still cannot find it. In the end, he accidentally went around because of a sandstorm. Only in one place did I find the way.

As for the end, it was also because there was no way to turn back, so he simply broke the pot, but he didn't expect to find the Shinto in the oasis in the end, and finally found the underground palace of the imperial tomb.These things seem to be a series of coincidences, and they belong to the kind where the result will be completely different if one link is missing!So it's no wonder Sima Xiangqin was so surprised!

"I saw that you and Zhuzi both have guns in their hands. What's going on?"

Sima Xiangqin noticed this problem when they first met. China is not a place where individuals can own guns.

"It was snatched from someone else, heh, we met several groups of people who came to look for the imperial tomb, and there were some conflicts. That's how this gun came from."

Fang Ming wouldn't say that he and Zhao Zhuzi killed the two of them. As for whether Sima Xiangqin guessed it, that's not his business.

Sima Xiangqin glanced at Fang Ming, and then at Zhao Zhuzi. She was not an inexperienced brat, and probably guessed what happened, but she was smart enough not to dwell on this topic, but said, "To be honest , You really didn’t expect to find it this time you came out.”

"I didn't think of it either, so I was really lucky."

This is the truth. I really didn't expect to find it this time when I came out.

A group of people walked forward slowly while chatting, and when they arrived at the rattlesnake nests that Zhao Zhuzi and Fang Ming had set up before, everyone's eyes widened. I have seen rattlesnakes, even Sun Ming, including Sima Xiangqin, may encounter poisonous snakes and venomous insects almost every day because of years of archaeological work abroad, and I have never seen "Sisi" running around everywhere with their tails wagging rattlesnake.

"Hey hey hey!"

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Zhao Zhuzi laughed sheepishly, and said, "I've been on guard lately, and whenever I encounter something like a rattlesnake, I'll catch it and block it here. Don't you really say anything?" , and even blocked a group of people who almost touched the oasis."

Speaking of this matter, Zhao Zhuzi also became proud, this is definitely a soldier who surrenders without fighting!Immediately, he recounted the whole thing with joy.

As for the "Rattlesnake Formation" in front of him, he and Fang Ming were very familiar with it, leading the crowd around a few times cautiously, and they made a detour without any risk.

After walking for a while, Sima Xiangqin and the others were shocked again, because they saw the oasis and the big lake!
No matter where you are, water is the source of life, especially in the desert. They have traveled so far in the past, and it can be called a lake, even a small pool. Haven't met one yet!

There was sand besides sand, and it made people go crazy. At this time, they saw water, and it was such a large water surface!
"Fuck! No wonder! The three of you were able to stay here for such a long time!"

After being shocked, Zhao Matie couldn't help cursing loudly!The most important thing to survive in the desert is water. If it weren't for this oasis, it would be impossible for Fang Ming and the others to last so long with the supplies they brought.In fact, this problem was also something that Zhao Matie was very worried about before, but now he suddenly realized it.

"If it weren't for the oasis here, I don't think it would be possible for the imperial mausoleum to be built in such a place!"

Fang Ming's words were recognized by everyone. The imperial mausoleum is a large project that requires a lot of manpower, especially in ancient times. Moreover, in such a deep desert, there is no oasis or no big oasis. , It is impossible to achieve just by carrying water.

"Hahaha! You old boys are finally here!"

When Sun Ming and others were still sighing by the lake, there would be a burst of laughter from a distance, and it was Niu Ping who walked over laughing.

Sun Ming and others saw it, and immediately walked over quickly, and Zhao Matie yelled even more: "Niu Ping, you are not dead yet!"

Niu Ping stared, and said: "You are not dead yet, I will die?"

"Then why don't you call back? I thought you died with my grandson and Fang Ming."

"Pooh!"

Niu Ping said sternly: "This desert can trap me? It's been two months since I've been here, why is there still electricity on the phone? What the hell!?"

"This one……"

Zhao Matie was at a loss for words. Niu Ping was telling the truth. It's been two months since he came out. Where did the phone call come from?
Seeing that Zhao Matie was speechless, Niu Ping became proud and said, "Let's go, I've prepared a big meal! There's something delicious tonight."

A group of people talked and laughed and walked towards the camping place, but before they reached the camp, they heard a deer cry. I never saw it again, but I didn't expect Niu Ping to get one after leaving for a few days!
"After you left, one day I saw it go to the water to drink water, so I thought of a way, weaved a knot, put it on, and then raised it, waiting for you to come."

Niu Ping also showed a proud expression on his old face. This sika deer is not a common thing. It is rare to eat it in the city. Even if it is found, it is farmed. It is estimated that no one eats this kind of pure natural wild deer. Pass.

Zhao Zhuzi has been addicted to it since he first came here to eat it once. He has been looking for it recently, but he can't find it. At this time, he saw Niu Ping got one, and it was better than the one he got before. Still big and fat, where are the eyes not shining?
Immediately, he threw the things in his hand on the ground, rushed towards the sika deer, and shouted, "I'll handle it! You wait!"
