The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation, in the eyes of foreigners, China is a giant dragon, and the Great Wall of China is the embodiment of the totem.

As Gu Tingcheng said, as long as the secret of the dragon is excavated, it is equivalent to finding the roots of the Chinese nation.

"Your chance is coming." David suddenly reminded in a low voice.

We looked together towards the exit of the basement, and seven or eight people came out in a crowd of big people. At the same time, Mikhachav was also escorted.

Ironically, he was originally a traitor who should have been treated politely by the Nazi army, but now he was also a prisoner, along with the big guys.

"A traitor never ends well." Gu Tingcheng said in a low voice.

"These things are not our concern." David shook his head.

"But if the big guy is captured, it will cause a change in history, and that's really a big problem." I say.

"Of the three of us, there are neither Germans nor Northern Confederates, right? So whatever happens in these two countries has little to do with us. In other words, no matter who the current head of the Northern Alliance is, whether the Nazi Führer committed suicide or not, or whether he found the axis of the earth, is not something we should care about. David said.

He has a purely American cynicism, but these words are very irresponsible. We only have one planet, and any political change on the planet will affect everyone. Just like the butterfly effect that Western philosophers say, no one can avoid it, and no one can stay out of it.

"David, go and do your thing, everyone should work together instead of debating and denying." Gu Tingcheng said.

David laughed lowly: "Of course I will do my own thing, but Miss Gu, you should also let your friends be smarter, face the reality, and do things seriously, so that we need to cooperate." ”

I didn't say anything more, from Gu Qingcheng's attitude towards David, I knew that this person must have a special skill. We should respect people who have the ability, because they can see and do far more than ordinary people.

All attention fell on the big shots and Mikhachav, and no one noticed us. David bent down, quickly turned into the fork in the road on the left, and disappeared behind the low wall.

"Do you believe me?" Gu Tingcheng asked.

I nodded deeply: "Of course I believe it, I believe it 100 percent." ”

"Well, all the next actions, try to take my opinion into account. David is a strange man, and strange people generally have strange tempers, do you agree? Gu Qingcheng asked.

I nodded again, indicating that I was following her orders.

The Nazis wanted to occupy the capital of the Northern League, which was really a bit presumptuous. There are so many secrets buried under the city that even if the people of the city surrender, there will be sudden changes in those secrets, leaving no place for the Nazis to die in the city.

"If something goes wrong with the big guys, the history of the Northern Alliance will change, and that's what I'm most concerned about." I say.

"Your assumption will never be true, if it were up to me to assume, I would think a little more far-reaching, for example-if there had been no Opium War, if there had not been an incident of the Eight-Nation Alliance entering the capital, if there had been no incident of tomb robbery in Tanglin...... If all these were true, China's history and world history would have changed even more, and China would have become a better place and the center of the world. Gu Tingcheng said.

Too many assumptions make people's minds develop by leaps and bounds, and all of a sudden, chaos is everywhere.

"I know, you have repeatedly mentioned the theft of the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager of the West, something must have something to do with that, right?" I asked.

Gu Tingcheng nodded, a look of approval on his face.

The Empress Dowager Cixi added a different color to the history of the Qing Dynasty, making the term "curtain and listening to politics" deeply imprinted in the minds of modern people. In people's impressions, the Empress Dowager of the West does not seem to have done anything good, except for controlling the government and suppressing reforms, the rest is just poverty and luxury, extravagance and waste, and a meal costs thousands of taels of silver. Therefore, when Sun Dianying's tomb robbery occurred, people did not have much indignation against Sun Dianying, but were more interested in a large number of funeral treasures of the Empress Dowager Xi, and humanists found evidence to criticize the Empress Dowager Xi.

"Is that Mr. David a grave robber?" I asked again.

Gu Qingcheng smiled: "So what?" Isn't it? Is there any substantial difference between a tomb robber and an archaeologist? Isn't it all about digging graves and bringing out the treasures of the ancients to show the world? The only difference is that one is under the banner of a private person and the other under the banner of a state. The ancient Chinese have long said that those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished. The same applies to tomb robbers and archaeologists. You don't know that you don't do antiques, but many of the treasures we get are from-"

She did not go on because the issue involved many state secrets. Of course, I also understand that many treasures that clearly belong to the state will suddenly appear at international auctions such as Sotheby's, and their origins are covered up so that they cannot be traced back to their origins. This is an unspoken rule in the world, and even the biggest antique dealers can't tell right from wrong, let alone us?

"Well, I don't have any doubts about Mr. David's identity." I threw in the towel and gave up the debate.

Of course, personally, I don't have any opinion about people in the world of tomb robbing. They are just a genre of the rivers and lakes, no different from Hong Kong Island gangs such as Perak Tong.

"I think Mr. David would be very happy if he knew that you said that." Gu Tingcheng said.

"Is the secret of the dragon in the scroll, or in the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager of the West?" I asked.

Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

I immediately understood that I had asked the wrong question.

Reflecting on Mikhachev's approach, the aim was to aim exclusively at the scroll, as this was what the Berlin Chancellery wanted. In his opinion, the Nazi Führer held all the secrets, including the great secrets of the world like the axis of the earth. Therefore, he obeyed the orders from the Berlin Chancellery, and rarely gave independent thinking, but did what people said.

Scrolls are of course important, and even the big ones think so, and if you put eight scrolls together, you can get accurate clues.

"Mr. Long should have seen the detailed records of the Tanglin tomb robbery case, right? Many of these materials, treasures, and funerary goods are scattered overseas, especially in San Francisco, USA. The Chinatown bigwig over there once published a half-foot-thick book explaining in detail the ins and outs of the Tanglin tomb robbery case. Gu Tingcheng said.

I immediately nodded my head to indicate that I had read the book.

Perak Tong has a presence in countries around the world, and of course it will not let go of San Francisco's Chinatown. At the end of the book, there are many photographs, some of which are actual photographs of treasures, and some of which are maps of tombs and murals of tombs. The Empress Dowager of the West is the emperor, and there must be many dragon themes in the funeral goods and murals, which are dizzying. It's not easy to find the most valuable one out of a large number of dragons.

"Mr. Long, I didn't mean to sell off or sell my antique knowledge. The real reason is that I don't have accurate answers to many questions, and I don't want to give you preconceived impressions that will affect your independent thinking. So, I'll just say two things, the first is that the Queen Mother knows everything about what happened later. Although she is not a soothsayer, she has many people under her command who are more intelligent than Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. Those people watched the sky at night, and they had long deduced the development of the Qing Dynasty, so they wrote these into a book and dedicated them to the Empress Dowager of the West. What is said in these books is the truth, but it is not what the emperor likes to see and hear. Therefore, the final fate of these so-called Manchu loyal ministers was to be secretly executed. After seeing the contents of the book, the Empress Dowager Xi was shocked and trembling, and immediately summoned another group of capable ministers to find a way and come up with countermeasures. The incident I am talking about happened before the Wuxu Reform, and the Empress Dowager Xi did a lot to prevent the later changes in the country. However, every time she does one more thing, she will find that she cannot stop the wheel of history, no matter how much she does, she is just a mantis arm as a car. So, she adopted the method of biting the arm of a poisonous snake and breaking the wrist of a strong man, and immediately agreed to Emperor Guangxu's change. Gu Tingcheng said.

The Wuxu Reform brought a huge shock to the late Qing Dynasty, both good and bad, which pushed the Qing regime from crumbling to the brink of ice-breaking collapse. Just like a dying patient, if he is sustained by tonics, he can live for a few more years, and if he is operated on, he is likely to die on the operating table.

"Where's that book?" I asked.

"It's in the mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West." Gu Tingcheng replied.

It dawned on me that historians and archaeologists had mentioned that the rebels, having opened the way into the mausoleum, swarmed in and trampled on a lot of silk and paper. Those are the things that are most valuable, far more than the treasures of gold and silver. It's a pity that most of the rebels are illiterate warriors who don't care about the paper on which they have been written.

"I suppose that book has been trampled to pieces by the rebels, right?" I asked.

Gu Qingcheng smiled: "Indeed, the truth is that not only has it been trampled into pieces, but it is also the kind that cannot be put together by hand, which is almost equivalent to a pile of waste paper." However, modern electronic identification technology has developed to the point of ingenuity—"

Gu Tingcheng suddenly stopped, because several Nazi soldiers were running towards this side with *.

"Prepare for battle." Gu Tingcheng said in a low voice.

I've observed the terrain countless times, and the street is flanked by multi-storey buildings, and if you get into one of them, you can escape anywhere through the back doors and windows, and there is nothing the pursuers can do.

"As soon as the battle begins, retreat to the left rear, advance to the green door, then go up to the second floor, take out the pursuers on the stairs, and grab the weapon." I immediately stated my plan.

"Heroes see the same thing." Gu Qingcheng laughed, "When we retreat to safety, I will tell you the story of the secret scroll of the Empress Dowager Xi." ”

"You're better off just talking about the essentials, that saves time." I say.

"Well, the second thing can be explained in just one sentence - the Empress Dowager Xi will not die, because she has sacrificed her heart to the dragon." She said hurriedly.
