Dig the bones!

Really came to dig up the bones, Yan Shigu and Wei Ting glanced at each other, and suddenly said with a smile: "Isn't Wei Yushi ready to be impeached?" ”

Yan Lao said with a smile, when did His Royal Highness King Qin do something meaningless. Not to mention digging up bones, even if you come to dig up a hair, you will never be impeached until you see something with your own eyes. I don't want to be the laughing stock of hundreds of officials, and I don't want Yushitai to be ridiculed. ”

Li Yuanxing mobilized 30,000 people, together with 4,000 soldiers who were temporarily transferred from Lanzhou and Hezhou to help.

Everyone realized that Li Yuanxing did not let the laborers enter the field, everyone here was registered, even the auxiliary soldiers had worked in the Twelve Guards for more than ten years. All the craftsmen and servants are all from the Qin Palace. The rest of the people were all Zhengyuan's soldiers.

Of the 4,000 people transferred from Lanzhou and Hezhou, none of them were government soldiers, but all of them were standing troops in the government.

For five days, five days in a row, the earth dug up was enough to build a mountain, and the bones of those beasts that I didn't know what kind of beast were dug up were a foot high.

But there was still not a trace of dinosaur bones.

"Your Highness, the third prince of Tuyuhun asked to see him and sent a gift of thirty-six troops."

Li Yuanxing did not speak, but thought. He didn't bring Cui Dunli this time because Cui Dunli really couldn't leave. There was already a serious shortage of manpower in the Qin Palace.

"What is Your Highness going to dig?" Wei Ting asked again.

Li Yuanxing glanced at Wei Ting, and he knew that Wei Ting was ready to help him think of ideas. First of all, it was necessary to see what was being dug up, and then it was decided to go there to meet the third prince of Tuyuhun.

"Behemoth. Ten zhang long, weighing 100,000 catties of bones of ancient giant beasts. Li Yuanxing finally told the truth.

Everyone was stunned, a ten-zhang long giant beast weighing 100,000 catties.

The two princesses of Qin sitting behind the screen covered their mouths in shock, they were afraid of shouting out and being rude.

Wei Ting gasped, if there really is such a giant beast, this is the national prestige of Datang. Not to mention using 30,000 people, even if 300,000 people dig up this square garden for a hundred miles, he will not be impeached.

"Your Highness, let the Tuyuhun people in."

Li Yuanxing looked at Wei Ting, and Wei Ting continued: "Just let them stay here for a few days." The first is to feast guests. The second is to return the gift, and the third is to let them see the giant beast. If necessary, you can arrange for someone to dig overnight! Then transfer 100,000 people around and dig up these ten miles of mountains! ”

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Okay." According to Wei Yushi. Li Yuanxing turned his head: "Qiu Xiang." Let Wei Yushi check the inventory. Choose a return gift for the third prince. ”

"Yes!" The two retreated.

I have to say that God wants to give Datang a prosperous era. Just when Murong Shun, the third prince of Tuyuhun, entered the valley, the earth-shattering cheers made Murong Shun's horses amazing. The men could no longer control the horses under their seats.

I saw a hundred guards in fine armor quickly forming in front of a big tent, but the direction of greeting them was not Murong Shun.

In the valley, thousands of people lined up on both sides, and ten men dressed as generals carried a log and moved quickly towards the big tent.

Is it wood?

No! It was a bone, but Murong Shun didn't understand it. Li Yuanxing patted the armrest of the chair and stood up, and walked out quickly. didn't even glance in the direction where Murong Shun came, Murong Shun said in his heart that something important made King Qin of the Tang Dynasty so nervous.

"Report to Your Highness. Dig out one bone a foot long, and several more in the soil. Instead of using shovels, the sergeants used wooden shovels to separate the dirt by hand, which was the first to be dug up. ”

"Someone, a detailed record of the dug out of the direction, angle. Send a painter to make a drawing. Li Yuanxing turned around and said to Lu Maofeng: "Immediately clear a clearing, where are the bones dug up, and put them in the open space as they are, each piece must be numbered, and tell the periphery that a heavy treasure has been seen, and the vigilance is raised to the next level!" ”

Li Yuanxing quickly commanded.

Murong Shun motioned for his subordinates to stop, and at this time he didn't understand what was happening, he was a prince. Not to mention that he is not Tuyuhun Khan, even if he is, the King of Qin who faces the Tang Dynasty must lower his noble head. What's more, he's just a prince.

Murong Shun watched, and hundreds of people over there quickly emptied a vacant land, and then transported the dug loess over.

Then roll it flat with a huge cobblestone, sprinkle a little water, and press it again. That's when it was about a foot long, and it looked like wood. But it was definitely not something of wood placed in the open space, two guards of the Qin Wangfu with knives stood aside with their swords unsheathed, and in a circle of open space, hundreds of heavily armed sergeants lined up.

"Report!" A sturdy man about thirty years old with more than a dozen sword targets on his body rushed over.

"Your Highness, great joy. Discover a round bone like a skull! ”

Li Yuanxing waved his hand and motioned for the general to retreat first. He had already noticed that the Tuyuhun people had arrived, turned around and walked in front of Murong Shun, the third prince of Tuyuhun, who had already dismounted, and when Li Yuanxing was ten steps away from him, he gave a salute first.

"Prince Shun visited, but it was rude for the king not to greet him."

"His Royal Highness the Venerable King Qin of the Tang Dynasty is on a trip, and I happened to be inspecting military affairs in Dagu Mountain. I came to visit, and I also want to listen to the teachings of His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, your wisdom is comparable to the sun and the moon. ”

can really praise it, fortunately, Datang did not praise the word kill.

Li Yuanxing laughed twice: "This king is here just to find a thing to be placed in front of the palace for my imperial brother. Since Prince Shun is here, why don't we go and see it together. ”

"His Royal Highness King Qin, please!"

"Prince Shun, please!"

At least for now, Tuyuhun and Datang have not torn their faces, although it is said that there may be a war at any time. But when it comes to the status of a prince of a country, a prince of a country. Even if you want to die tomorrow, you will drink together with a smile on your face today.

Li Yuanxing knew that when Tuyuhun was in the former Sui, he fought two battles with the Sui.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were also military conflicts with the Tang Dynasty. Now Tuyuhun himself has some troubles, one is the internal faction fighting for power, and the other is that he is still at war with the Tufan people in the east, and even with the Western Turks there is some chaos. There is no full-scale outbreak of war.

Li Yuanxing and Murong Shun walked side by side to the excavation site.

Except for the soil, it is a stone, but under the soil layer, there is really a circle, which is obviously not a stone object. More than a dozen sturdy sergeants were slowly clearing the dirt and stones around them with wooden shovels and hands.

Slowly, a huge eye socket emerged from the dirt.

"Your Highness, eighty percent of them are skulls." The general who led the way looked excited.

Now they know what kind of bones they are digging up.

Li Yuanxing nodded with satisfaction, but saw a big red flag erected more than fifty meters away, and several people ran over at that moment.

Li Yuanxing stood still, looking at the dirt cleaning up with his hands behind his back.

After a while, four sergeants came over carrying a three-foot-tall skull: "Your Highness! ”

"Probably the other one. What this king is looking for is the giant beast that is twelve feet long. But since the rest has been found, it is also numbered and carefully put away. Let the craftsmen start to make wooden boxes, which have hemp rope numbered brackets, and if they are damaged during transportation, it is a great pity. ”

"It's Your Highness!" The general pointed at the sergeants and cursed a few words, and then hundreds of people ran with wooden shovels to the pit where the skull was found, and at least found a whole, large or small, which was no small achievement.

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Venerable King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of beast's bones are these?"

Li Yuanxing put his hands behind his back: "It was about 170 million years ago to 110 million years ago." These 60 million years are divided into three periods, and the overlords of the earth and the sea are these ancient beasts. Tonight, the king said that if Prince Shun is interested, he should also listen to it. ”

"Naturally, I am willing to learn the wisdom of His Royal Highness King Qin."

Cui Yingying and Cui Yanyan, who had changed into that dark blue thick linen overalls, took their maids and their female horsemen, and they were running around on this hill without helping. I also want to see if I can find anything.

Li Yuanxing glanced at them from a distance and made a gesture of invitation to Murong Shun.

The two went back to the tent, where snacks and tea had been prepared. Wine and meat are served to the guests.

Murong Shun motioned to his subordinates to formally hand over the gift list. Wei Ting asked the entourage to take it and hold it in his hand, just briefly glanced at it a few times, and then asked someone to bring up the gift that had been prepared a long time ago.

"This king is on this trip, but he didn't prepare anything, please forgive Prince Shun for a light gift!"

"That's pretty thin." Without waiting for Murong Shun to speak, a general of Tuyuhun jumped up: "This silk can be exchanged for thousands of sheep in Hexi." We've never seen this pearl before! ”

Murong Shun smiled awkwardly, but Li Yuanxing was generous: "Come on, take the sharp weapons and ten jars of good wine in this Wang Zhuang, and give them to this bold warrior!" ”

The knife is a good knife, Yaozhou special steel, led by a second-class knife casting master, a good knife made by fine workmanship.

In the eyes of the Tuyuhun people, the things of the Tang people are really good, whether it is this silk, or this pearl, or this knife. They are all unique treasures in the world.

But in Li Yuanxing's eyes, Tugu Hun people are really big, two carriages of cordyceps.

There are also nettles that are very common in later generations, but they are very rare in the Tang Dynasty. This thing also has a name, it's called ginseng fruit! It was fully equipped with four carriages, which was very rare in Qinghai in later generations.

There is another thing that Li Yuanxing likes, called crystal salt. It is produced in Qinghai Salt Lake, no matter the size is a cube, and the color is yellow, orange, blue, pink, and milky white. The largest piece given by Tuyuhun weighed half a ton, and this thing was carved by a famous craftsman in the Tang Dynasty, and then brought back to future generations, and it could be exchanged for gold.

Judging from Li Yuanxing's expression, Wei Ting knew that His Royal Highness King Qin was very satisfied with the other party's gift.

What is worth and what is not. People from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty have a common opinion, please comment on His Royal Highness King Qin! (To be continued......)
