Chapter 392: Advance Base 2 (I)

Since the two old horses returned, General Gurg has been looking out into the canyon by the bridge of the Black River for several days, if everything goes well with the expedition on that heavy responsibility, they should have been on their way back from the Peak of the Dead, but today there is still no one in sight, General Gorg returned to the fortress in the evening, and just sat down, the door was knocked open, and Pandy stumbled in: "Tchaikov is seriously wounded, we need support......"

"No...... We can't cross the Black River......" General Gorg heard about what was happening on the Peak of the Dead, and he felt that hope was dashed, just as it had been 700 years ago.

"Leave that alone, Tchaikov is dying, we will desperately bring him to the bottom of the cliff, if no one helps, he will definitely die!" Pandey shouted, "I only need 2 people, just give me 2!" ”

General Gurg's face was expressionless, and he was silent in his heart, and asked, "High Priest of Kailan...... You released us, can we really cross the Black River? ”

After a while, General Gurge said slowly: "I'll go with you, take two horses, and if you really need to be punished, I'll give my soul to Heihe!" ”

……

Since meeting Dick's expedition, Dick has sent two big men to "protect" him, these two people seem to understand the word "protection" very "thoroughly", they follow them like shadows, and when they see Xia Ruobing slightly away from their line of sight, they pull and pull.

"Don't touch me!" Xia Ruobing shouted angrily again, she just wanted to set up a tent here, but the two bodyguards thought that it was easy to escape here, so they resolutely blocked in front of Xia Ruobing, and under each other's holds, they reached out and pushed Xia Ruobing.

"What a grumpy chick." Dick said happily when he saw Xia Ruobing helplessly escorted back to the center of the camp by the bodyguards.

"Hey! Be gentle with the lady, this is my chief advisor. Dick shouted out.

"How do you get her to tell you the location of the royal tomb?" Mr. Min was a little funny, he felt that Xia Ruobing would not cooperate with Dick.

"Of course there is a way, Min, you and Xia Ruobing are not the only ones in this world who are interested in Loulan."

"Dick, how much of the hell are you still hiding from me?" Mr. Min felt a chill, he had always underestimated the playboy in front of him.

"Then it depends on how much you have to hide from me." Dick raised his glass to Mr. Min and smiled.

……

The cold wind blowing down from the mountains after evening whistled across the canyon, and Mr. Min had already rested, but he could not sleep. Xia Ruobing knew that there was no chance to escape here, so she simply hid in the tent and didn't come out.

Dick's expedition had not yet rested, and was busy until the second half of the night, when they erected a satellite dish in the gale, which caught Mr. Min's attention.

"Hurry up and unfold it for me! I have less than 5 minutes left! Mr. Min heard Dick's roar in the wind, and he was driving the team to deploy the satellite dishes.

Expedition teams usually have to travel lightly, it is not normal for them to come here with such a heavy satellite dish, and with Mr. Min's understanding of Dick, if he didn't have anything particularly important, he should have been asleep at this time, Mr. Min secretly opened the tent, and the team members unfolded the large area of the satellite dish in the gale, trying to keep it stable in the wind.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You don't know what the hell happened to me on that damn mountain......" Mr. Min snuck to the edge of the big tent, and across the thin tent, he heard Dick talking to someone.

"You spent so much money on me, and you spent so much effort to tell me that you only got a golden stick that the European barbarians lusted for?" Christopher on the other end of the line sounded unpleasant.

"Okay, let me explain it from the beginning......" Dick was a little helpless, Christopher was not a good person to talk to.

"The Loulan people crossed the mountain range and were defeated by the Black River, and the ignorant people of the Black River left the royal seal in that cave, and the survivors of Loulan took it and presented it to the Huns...... Or the Huns found it along the migration route of Loulan, in short, when the Huns swept through Europe 200 years later, the royal seal was brought to Europe, and you should know the shadow left by the Yellow Peril in the hearts of Europeans......" Dick organized the text, and he tried not to provoke Christopher.

Then those ignorant people thought that this royal seal and the Han Empire's letter of canonization of Loulan could summon an army of the undead, and according to their own ideas, they installed a golden stick on it...... That's probably what it means, and then a group of people ran to that canyon and built a fortress...... In short, this is the most reasonable inference......"

"Does this have anything to do with me? Dick, I want a full scepter, complete! Christopher thinks Dick's story is well told, but it doesn't make sense, the complete scepter is priceless, the king's seal is the value, the golden stick in Dick's hand, as long as he wants, he can take out a dozen!

"I know, I know, I knew these damn guys were going to give the scepter away when I didn't find it on the Poseidon...... You've got to listen to me............"

"That's why you let people in Lop Nur?" Christopher asked.

"For God's sake, I'm going to have to give you an insurance, right?" Dick heard Christopher's tone ease a little, and his heart relaxed slightly.

Christopher reminded: "Why do you think the tomb will be there? Why do you think that those survivors of the Poseidon sent the seal back there......"

"Well, that's what I'm going to talk to you about...... 2,000 years ago, it was a place with abundant water and grass, neither my ancestors nor the Loulan royal family that crossed the mountains took the treasure from Loulan, which was the Silk Road, and in ancient times it was Gibraltar on land! Where is the treasure they have accumulated over the centuries? The only explanation is that they hid all the treasures in the royal tombs...... The information I found on the Peak of the Dead also proves that they hid the treasure in the royal tomb when they were threatened by the Huns to escape...... Come to think of it, no one has ever found the treasure of Loulan, no one has ever ...... Do you just want to get the scepter? ”

Christopher was silent for a full three minutes, Dick anxiously awaiting his answer......

"I can talk for five minutes, Mr. Christopher, and I'm not going to joke with you for the rest of my life......"

"Do you think Xia Ruobing will find the royal tomb for you?" Christopher's tone was a little more soothing.

"Even if she doesn't help, the expedition team that went deep into Lop Nur has found the approximate location, and I will blow up the royal tomb with explosives, what kind of words are ...... No information or record is worth a dime to you and me......" Dick knew that the deal was about to be done.

"I don't care how you get it, I only care what I can get, Dick, and if you play tricks on me again, I'll book you a place in the widest sewer in Paris!"

……

β€œSHIT!” Putting down the phone, Dick felt sweating profusely. Christopher was as tough as ever, but he finally got another chance.

Mr. Min was shocked to hear Christopher's name outside the tent, for he was the top collector in the world of antiques, and his identity and wealth had always been a mystery. His collection is a world-class one-of-a-kind, and it is even rumored that the "Mona Lisa's Smile" in his hand is the real thing, and Dick actually made a deal with him......

Mr. Min secretly went back to his tent and did not sleep until in the morning Dick came and knocked on his tent.

"Sunny day, right!" Dick took Mr. Min into the big tent and asked with a smile.

"I didn't sleep very well." Mr. Min said with a yawn.

"Hopefully this will chase your sleepy worm away." Dick had lost a map with several red circles on it.

"This is ......" Mr. Min held the map, feeling that something was wrong.

"The possible location of the royal tomb." Dick laughed, "Min, you can't put your eggs in one basket, ha, I'm not the stupid person you think I am!" ”

A few of the locations marked on the map are the Lop Nur core, which was once a test range for nuclear weapons and where missiles crossed the long desert to hit it. Several remnants of ancient mountains stand there, and there are no people in a radius of hundreds of kilometers......

"It's a little far from the Loulan ruins." Mr. Min doubted the authenticity of the map.

"Min, I said that besides you, there are still people in this world who are interested in Loulan's treasures, hmm...... As a partner, I can also secretly reveal to you that there will definitely be the royal tombs of Loulan in these places......"

"What are you going to do?"

"Then it depends on what the little beauty thinks...... I'm not stingy to wipe these mountains off the face of the earth with explosives......" Dick winked his eyes at Mr. Min.

Mr. Min knew that Dick was referring to Xia Ruobing, and he wanted to get himself to come forward to convince her.

"Dick, we can come back when we're ready." Mr. Min made a suggestion.

β€œNO! Min, it has to be this time. Dick simply refused, "I'm going to turn it upside down, at any cost." ”

Dick was threatening himself, he knew what Loulan meant to Mr. Min, and Mr. Min thought that the partner he was talking about was just a casual talk to achieve his goal. If Mr. Min had no value now, Dick wouldn't hesitate to throw him here.

"I'll think about it." Mr. Min weighed the pros and cons and said.

"OK, then it's so happily decided!" Dick rolls up the map and asks them to get ready to go.

Xia Ruobing had been thinking about how to escape, but the two hateful bodyguards were almost inseparable, and there were not many escape routes she could choose on the mountain, so she thought about finding a way on the flat ground at a lower altitude.

The speed of going down the mountain was much faster, and around the end of the evening, Xia Ruobing saw Dick's second base, and various vehicles had already been prepared in the base, and Dick announced that he would rest here for one night and set off early tomorrow morning to find the tomb of King Loulan.

Xia Ruobing felt that this was his last chance to escape, and it happened that the small base became even more hectic after there were more people, and the two bodyguards were called to help, and Xia Ruobing was temporarily out of their sight.
