Chapter 1 The Thirty-First Year of Hongwu's Meeting
Desert in southern Inner Mongolia.
Qi Jing lifted the brim of his hat and looked up at the scorching sun, the scorching sun made the desert at Qi Jing's feet emit bursts of heat.
The scene in front of me kept shaking, and my mind was chaotic, but my eyes were extremely sharp to look in all directions. Behind Qi Jing was a green military pickup truck, and Qi Jing leaned on the small truck, quietly waiting for the return of the professor and others. Behind him, tents stood on the desert like a ghost domain.
This year is Qi Jing's sixth year as a soldier, Qi Jing, who was promoted to non-commissioned officer two years ago, because of his outstanding performance, his superiors originally decided to recommend him to participate in the selection of special forces, Qi Jing was excited when he knew at the time, you must know that he had already made sufficient preparations, but he was suddenly sent to carry out a special task to protect a batch of unearthed cultural relics.
It stands to reason that this kind of archaeological matter, except for transportation, does not need the intervention of the military, but this excavation seems to be a little wrong.
When Qi Jing came here, there was already a reinforced platoon stationed here, and Qi Jing had a new job as soon as he arrived, that is, to see things. At first, Qi Jing was very angry, how could he say that he was also an old non-commissioned officer, and he actually came to see things?! As a result, after the first day passed, Qi Jing decided to look at things honestly, which was really weird.
Every day, the white-bearded professor would leave with the reinforced platoon and return at night.
And the careful Qi Jing found that every time this team came back, there would be a few fewer people.
From their intermittent conversations, Qi Jing roughly knew that they were digging the tomb of a Ming Dynasty prince. And this prince has never appeared in history, and there have never been any clues in even wild history.
Qi Jing is also strange, a prince of the Ming Dynasty is actually buried in the territory of the Mongolian people who opposed the Ming Dynasty, which is very strange.
For months, the team returned empty-handed, and it wasn't until the night before that the team brought back a beautiful black box. But Qi Jing found that the number of people in this reinforced platoon was even smaller, and he couldn't even make up a platoon.
Yesterday morning, the team set off on time, but they haven't come back until now, Qi Jing felt a little abrupt and a little bad premonition.
The sun is getting stronger and stronger, Qi Jing wiped the sweat left under the military hat, and suddenly a gust of wind gently blew in the distance, the wind dried the sweat on his body and took away the heat, Qi Jing took a deep breath of satisfaction.
Before Qi Jing was satisfied, he saw a figure running towards him, the alarm bell in his heart was loud, the pistol on his waist had been pulled out, and the man ran in only to see that it was a person dressed the same as himself, Qi Jing was shocked, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and raised his pistol to meet him carefully.
"Brother Li! What's wrong with you? Qi Jing remembered this person, an experienced veteran.
"Run, run, get out of here with that black box! The storm is coming! Come on! ”
Hearing this, Qi Jing hurriedly said, "Storm? Where is the storm, Brother Li, what is going on? What about them? ”
Before Brother Li could answer, Qi Jing heard the whirring wind, a wall of wind composed of sand blown by the wind, running towards the two of them at a very fast speed.
Seeing this, Brother Li pushed Qi Jing away fiercely, "Let's go!" Walk with a black box!! ”
Qi Jing gritted his teeth fiercely when he heard this, ran towards Xiaoka, opened the carriage, took out the black box, glanced back at Brother Li, the corners of his eyes moistened, and ran forward.
Qi Jing couldn't bear to see Brother Li being swallowed by the wind wall, so he ran wildly without looking back, and a storm appeared in the desert, which was simply unheard of! But the pain of the sand hitting his body made Qi Jing have to believe the facts, so he had to run wildly.
How could a person's legs run through the storm, so Qi Jing's figure disappeared into the storm, and at the moment Qi Jing disappeared, the storm dissipated instantly, and this desert was as if no one had ever come, and the tent was still there, like a ghost domain······
————
It's not that Qi Jing doesn't want to open his eyes, but he really can't open them, his eyelids weigh like a thousand catties, his body is like a broken frame, he can't use any strength, he can only move his right hand slightly, feeling the existence of the box, Qi Jing is relieved, this box must be very important, otherwise Brother Li will not let himself take it away.
After struggling for a long time, I finally saw a little light, and slowly opened my eyes, the sky was still the same day, but it was snowy, but the people were not those people.
Qi Jing sat up with difficulty, and stared blankly at a person on a horse who was only two meters away from him.
The man was wearing black armor, and although the armor was a little worn, the scars on it exuded a chilling aura.
Ma Sanbao looked at Qi Jing with interest, this boy who looked like he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, whether it was his dress or the things around him, he was different from his own people.
Qi Jing = When he saw this person, he felt very dangerous, this was a person who had killed people, he had no weapons, looking at the crossbow on the man's horse, Qi Jing's first reaction was to run, but he found that he couldn't lift up any strength in his body, so he gave up moving and stared at Zhang Xin tightly.
Since you can't run, you have to pull a cushion when you die. The distance of two meters is still too far for his current physical condition, so he should come down and come over······
Ma Sanbao suddenly felt a burst of cool air rushing out of his neck, and he subconsciously looked at the inconspicuous kid. Feeling Qi Jing's killing intent, he was even more interested in Qi Jing, this is a Han family, Ma Sanbao is very sure, it can be seen from the color of his skin and eyes, and the most important thing is that he does not have that smell of animals.
Qi Jing's heart was already full of sadness, I don't know why, I seem to have returned to my teenage years all of a sudden, and in my teens, it is difficult for even an adult to fight, let alone these two people who seem to have been on the battlefield for a long time.
Zhu Di's face is not very good, and it is impossible for anyone to be calm about these recent things. The army under his jurisdiction was transferred, and a few bastards were brought in to interfere with the political affairs of Beiping, and the bones of the former emperor were not cold, and this Zhu Yunwen was about to attack the son of the former emperor.
Zhu Di was upset and irritable and walked forward, Ma Sanbao and the princess talked so much that they let themselves come to hunt and relax, originally wanted to give the princess two foxes and make a fox fur coat, but they went out for two days, but they didn't see a single fox, these days are really unlucky!
Ma Sanbao heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him and looked back.
I saw a majestic man about thirty years old riding a horse, followed by several cavalrymen, and brought up a cloud of dust.
The man was dressed in a python robe and put on a big coat, and restrained the horse two or three meters away from Ma Sanbao, Ma Sanbao turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord! A subordinate discovers a suspicious child. ”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was puzzled, how could a child still be suspicious, his eyes turned behind Ma Sanbao, and he saw Qi Jing sitting on the ground in a daze.
This is the first time Qi Jing has met Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty who created the prosperous era of Yongle.
This is also the first time Zhu Di has seen this mysterious visitor who almost changed the trend of the Ming Dynasty.
Fate, always let the meeting be made, will not be missed.
————
Zhu Di and Qi Jing looked at each other for a long time, and Ma Sanbao coughed softly before breaking the silent atmosphere.
"Lord Wang, I just chased a hare, and I met him halfway. He was lying there, just woke up, afraid that it was a spy of the Northern Yuan, so he sent someone to inform you. ”
Zhu Di nodded and slowly walked towards Qi Jing.
Qi Jing saw Zhu Di walking towards him, and the momentum on Zhu Di's body was so overwhelming that he couldn't breathe. Qi Jing never believed in the so-called domineering spirit, but he had to admit that this richly dressed man did have an aura of surrender.
But Qi Jing is Qi Jing after all, a free young man in a new world, how could he bow to Zhu Di.
Although Qi Jing couldn't move, he still looked at Zhu Di fearlessly.
"What's your name?"
"Qijing."
"What will you do?"
"If you go to war, you may kill people."
"Have you ever killed someone?"
"Nope."
Qi Jing thought about it for a while, he had been a soldier for so many years, and he had never learned anything except to fight.
Zhu Di looked at the teenage child carefully, suddenly took off the big hat and threw it to Qi Jing, and said, "Seeing that you are also a member of the Han family, you will follow me in the future!" ”
Ma Sanbao saw that Qi Jing was still in a daze, so he hurriedly ran over and squatted down and said, "What are you in a daze, I haven't thanked the prince!" ”
Qi Jing stammered and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang······"
What am I talking about······ Qi Jing muttered in his heart, but this dress is really warm······
Qi Jing thought like this, and actually fell asleep.
Seeing this, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Sanbao, take him back to the camp together, it's time for lunch, this king is hungry!" ”
Ma Sanbao gently picked up Qi Jing and said, "Yes!" ”
Ma Sanbao put Qi Jing on his horse and said, "Lord Wang, you go first, I will lead the horse back, so as not to wake him up." ”
Zhu Di nodded, turned over his horse, and ran away first.
————
Qi Jing slowly woke up, shuddered fiercely, looked around in confusion, and saw Ma Sanbao's kind eyes.
"Awake?"
"I, where am I?"
"Daming, the outskirts of Beiping."
"Big, Daming?!"
"That's right, Daming, Hongwu thirty-one years."
Qi Jing was a little in a daze, he actually came to the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago.
In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, died, and Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson of the emperor, succeeded to the throne, and Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were mistaken by scholars······
"Child, it's freezing! I don't even know that year! ”
Qi Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe······"
