Chapter 14: Yongguo (text)

In a teahouse near Shenzhen's ghost market, a lean old man of about fifty years old is sitting on the Taishi chair, dressed in Tang costume, with the smell of ancient books, as if he were a Confucian scholar. It's just that the light flashed in his eyes from time to time, but people didn't dare to underestimate this man.

He is Ye Ba, the head of the Ye family, and almost has the connections of tomb robbers across the country, it can be said that in the current mainland, Ye Ba is the tomb robber emperor that everyone fears.

And a young man with sword eyebrows and jade eyes standing next to him was his son Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu is gifted and intelligent, and he has learned Ye Ba's skills before he is twenty years old, and he is very talented in the fighting of cold weapons.

"Hmph, the remnants of the Zhang family still dare to come to the mainland, since you are looking for death, then this time you will all stay in the mainland for me!"

Ye Ba held a piece of paper, as if he had seen something interesting, and he showed a grim smile.

"Do you want me to take these people down? White Horse Zhao San, I have long thought that I would be able to, but I don't know how many punches I can take. Du Chong laughed arrogantly. He is the representative of the Ye family's armed forces, nicknamed the leopard head, ranked sixth in Tiangang Disha, with a rough appearance, but his combat effectiveness is very strong, and he is almost invincible in hand-to-hand combat. Du Chong was originally a Tibetan, who was able to fight tigers in the mountains, and later came to Guangzhou to beg for a living. I don't know what the situation started a fight with the head snake, and the head snake called six or seven people with machetes to come over to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect to beat Du Chong to death and three cripples. His force was favored by Ye Ba, who was recruiting talents at the time, not only did not send him to the police station, but also ate and drank well, and developed him into a confidant.

"There's no rush on this. Fifteen years ago, although the Zhang family withdrew from the mainland, the government has been hiding this matter, and even several officials involved in it have had accidents one after another, and even the corpse has not been recovered, which shows that the water inside is very deep! ”

Ye Ba took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully while knocking on the chair.

"That's right, something must have happened in Lop Nur, and this matter is definitely more important than the revenge of the Zhang family. Otherwise, with my understanding of Zhang Shaohong, this person will never let go of the blood feud of the past! ”

Behind Ye Ba, an old man with slightly gray hair shook his head and said, he is one of the Ye family's heavenly evils, proficient in conspiracy and calculation, and is the chief think tank of the Ye family, known as Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, fifteen years ago, it was he and Ye Ba who planned the extremely clever drive of the tiger and the wolf.

"Then what do you mean, staring at those people?"

"That's right! From those few people, I feel that I can definitely find clues! ”

"How can it be so easy, the route they traveled is to the side of Zhushan in Hubei, where there are one town, ten towns and one hundred villages, and the old forests are full of stagnant water, when they go to the mountains, where to find them, Wu Yong, don't talk about these useless things. According to me, take them down, and when the time comes, take a knife to their necks, and I'm afraid that they won't come out! ”

Du Chong shouted.

"We'll know......" Ye Ba and Wu Yong glanced at each other, a strange smile on their faces.

"Du Chong, you take everyone to set off immediately, as for Ah Jiu, you can follow along, and wait for my news at any time!" Ye Ba thought about it and said to Du Chong.

"Ah Jiu, listen to your Uncle Wu more on the road, don't be impulsive alone."

Ye Jiu nodded indifferently, he played with the folding fan in his hand, and he didn't know if he had listened to Ye Ba's words.

Ye Ba sighed, he was satisfied with everything about this son of his, his personality was calm and calm, and he was as immobile as a mountain when he encountered all kinds of major events. But his personality is indifferent, he doesn't talk much, and the whole person is like a stone, and he can't ask a fart out of ten sentences, which makes him very distressed.

"Eighth master, don't worry, the young master is so handsome, and only he takes care of us, haha!" Wu Yong laughed.

…………

Approaching Zhushan County, the road is getting more and more difficult to walk, the ground is a dirt road with some potholes, bumpy for half an hour, Zhang Meng felt as if he was falling apart, he said to the driving Chen lame man with a bitter face:

"Uncle Chen, how long will it take to get here, I'm about to have hemorrhoids!"

"There should be an hour to arrive, but this trip is not easy to go, if it weren't for the clues of the master, I would have to think about the bamboo basket to draw water."

"Why do you say that, Uncle Chen?" Zhang Meng was a little drumming in his heart, in fact, the clues left by Zhang Shaoye to him were only a few short sentences of terrain description, listening to the meaning of Chen Cripple, it seemed that this fight was not very good.

"Zhushan, Hubei, where there used to be the birthplace of civilization - Yongguo, this period of bronze and iron have developed to a new height. There is a saying in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period: "Only the mediocre are good at fighting, and Qin and Chu are invincible", and even the Qin Dynasty after the 'Shang Dynasty Reform' was not an opponent at that time, which shows how strong the Yongguo was at that time. ”

"And what about the destruction of this mediocre country?" Zhang Meng asked curiously.

Chen Cripple continued to patiently explain to Zhang Meng: "Originally, at that time, Yongguo was in a period of absolute national strength, but it sang wine and vocal music, and sang every day. There has not been a single outstanding general for decades, which also laid the groundwork for his future downfall. Yongguo took advantage of the famine in Chu and raised troops to march eastward, but unexpectedly, the generals were greedy for merit and rashly advanced, but they were destroyed by the king of Chu Zhuang and the western states of Ba and Qin, and the land was divided by the three kingdoms of Chu, Qin and Ba. Hence the idiom "mediocrity disturbs itself"! ”

"Well, I don't know how many princes and nobles were buried in this mediocre land, and during the Han Dynasty, it became a place where princes and nobles were exiled.

Zhao San took over and said. This area is full of tombs, and they didn't have a lot of ideas about this place back then, but at that time, the south was almost the world of the Ye family, and after their actions were destroyed several times, they finally gave up helplessly, but because of this, they were also familiar with the feng shui geography of this area.

"He's all killed himself, why are we here? His body must have been buried on the road! ”

"Hmph, Liu Qu, the king of Guangchuan, can almost be regarded as the ancestor of the tomb robbers! According to the records of "Taiping Guangji", the tombs of these famous figures in history, such as King Wei Xiang, Jin Linggong, and Yougong, were patronized by this person, and there were rumors among the people that King Guangchuan was poisoned by his cronies on the way to exile, and the reason was that he came into contact with a huge secret. The year before his exile, Liu Qu seemed to sense that he was about to be in trouble, and transported all his treasures to Shangyong, but as he died on the road half a year later, the trail of these treasures was also interrupted......"

Chen Cripple said softly: "Wait a while, Meng Zai, you will draw a similar map of what Ye described, and then find a local guide to ask." ”

"Uncle Chen, you're smart!"

As soon as Chen Cripple said something that he had no clue about, he suddenly became organized, Ling Xiao was suddenly excited, took out a piece of paper and compared it, Zhang Shaoye likes to dance and ink, and he is usually a genius, a few words are like clouds, fortunately, Zhang Meng also forced his father to learn classical Chinese for a period of time when he was a child, and he can still understand a general meaning.

"Use your brain!" Zhao San looked disdainful, thinking that he was going to take this stinky boy to rob the tomb of King Guangchuan, Zhao San couldn't help but be angry. King Guangchuan didn't know how many buckets he had poured in his life, and he was probably familiar with the hidden weapons in the tomb, and he didn't know what killing moves would be planted in his own tomb.

Looking at Zhao San's undisguised contempt, Zhang Meng was furious: "You give me a far death, you old bones will block me when the time comes!" ”

Seeing that the two of them had a tendency to fight again, the sick man quickly coughed heavily to stop their desire to continue arguing.

"Don't worry, I've found it!" Zhao San snorted and said.

Zhang Meng was a little surprised, these two days Zhao San has been staying with them, is it possible that he will not be able to do it, how can he go to Zhushan to find a guide.

"Ah Meng, do you remember the Fu Bo you saved? I checked, and the place where he was born is in Zhushan, Hubei, and he is a native of Hubei. And the family background is relatively clean, it won't be a spy of the Ye family, it's best to ask him to lead the way, it is estimated that he is waiting for us in Zhushan County now. ”

Chen Cripple said lightly, as if everything was taken for granted. Hearing Zhang Meng's ears, it seemed that something cold had fallen on him, and a chill came up. Chen Cripple and their generation are really terrifying, with a few words of dialogue between him and Fu Bo, you can think of so many things, God knows what kind of perverts are the same as the six doors!
