Chapter 50: All Forces Want to Seize the Treasure
Bursts of tiger roars continued, this was because other tigers also came, and if Xia Wanchun really didn't go faster, it would be dead.
When Xia Wanchun and the others arrived in a safe place, they began to gasp for breath! It was really dangerous. I don't know what kind of danger will appear next in the road.
The Manchus are already eyeing them, maybe an army will come soon, and then they will surround Phoenix Mountain, which will not be good. They won't be able to leave, and even the treasure map will fall into the hands of the Manchus.
Xia Wanchun was wondering if he should evacuate immediately? It's okay to come back and find out the whereabouts of the treasure later. But Zhang Biwu really needs this money urgently, and if it drags on any longer, it will not be good for the whole situation.
Yue Zhicheng said: "Let's find out the treasure quickly, this is the right way, and there is no need to say anything else!" I think even if the Qing army sends a message and then gathers a large army, it will take time. We will use this time to look for it again, and it is impossible to be so frightened and go back empty-handed. Besides, the Qing army may not be able to transfer the army! ”
Everyone else is nodding, they don't find out Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, where is it hidden, they are really unwilling.
Once again, the map was laid out, and the map was carefully read. They were walking along the map, looking around them as they looked around.
The sound of "rustling", Xia Wanchun couldn't help but look around, including Xiong Zongheng and Wu Xun, they were vigilant for fear that someone would follow them.
It wasn't until they saw the startled bird that they breathed a sigh of relief and stopped making a sound. Ma Yuanli is still a little worried, he still has to be vigilant at any time.
It's been a long walk again. No anomalies were found. Only then did they feel at ease.
Xia Wanchun looked at the map. His eyebrows furrowed, he always felt that there was something wrong with this map, especially the line of words that caught his eye, which made him feel even more strange.
This line reads: "When it is true and false, false is also true!" What does that mean? Zhang Xianzhong deliberately carved such a paragraph on the treasure map! What did he want?
On the back of the treasure map there are four words: "Hide from the sky and cross the sea". This is incomprehensible, the treasure map is real, why does he have to engrave such words for Lu? Zhang Xianzhong is too cunning to make people guess. "Hiding from the world"? What is Zhang Xianzhong's intention? It's so hard to think of a reason why you can't even think of it.
Although I can't figure it out. However, they followed the direction indicated on the map and came to the place of the canyon. There are many caves here, is it possible that the treasure is hidden in the caves?
In the treasure map, caves are indeed depicted, so from this point of view, there is really nothing wrong.
Ma Yuanli looked around, checked it, and said, "Take a look!" This cave seems to have been artificially processed! From this point of view, this may be the place where the emperor hides his treasure! ”
Yue Zhicheng looked around again, but saw a huge stone in front of him, and took a closer look. This stone really looks like a drum.
"Stone Drum!" Everyone's hearts were shocked and they felt very excited! They looked far away. Is there a stone cow in the end? I didn't find a stone cow! Didn't you say that the stone drum was against the stone cow? What's going on?
"Look! Doesn't the mountain on the other side look like a stone ox? "If someone shouts out, it immediately makes everyone take a closer look, which is really right!
On the opposite side is a small ridge, which really looks like a stone ox! It seems that this may be the place where Zhang Xianzhong hides his treasure.
Yue Zhicheng, Xiong Zongheng, Wu Xun and the others all hugged each other, they were very excited, they finally found the legendary Zhang Xianzhong treasure.
It's just that Ma Yuanli lowered his head, and he took the treasure map and looked at it again. Xia Wanchun stared at Ma Yuanli.
Ma Yuanli has been by Zhang Xianzhong's side for a long time, and he is very familiar with Zhang Xianzhong, but he looked at the treasure map, but frowned.
Xia Wanchun was even more determined in his thoughts, and he asked, "General Ma, what do you think?" ”
Ma Yuanli said: "It is said that this is where the treasure is located!" It's just that what I don't understand is the sentence of the treasure map, 'Stone Ox vs. Stone Drum, Gold Ten Thousand Five, which one can know it, buy all the Chengdu Mansion.'" 'There are waves of water, what is this for?' Look at this sentence again, 'There is water to be true!' 'I don't know what the emperor's intention is to do so many things? Just what is certain is that it will be useful! What does it just mean to express to us? ”
Xia Wanchun was also looking at the map and said, "Yes! It's true that there is water! But we don't see any water here! Look at the stone cow below this paragraph is a very turbulent water! ”
Ma Yuanli nodded and responded: "Yes!" That's why I think it's weird! I really don't know what the emperor's intention is in doing this? Alas! What a headache! ”
"Water?" Someone pointed to it and said, "Look, isn't there a mountain spring bubbling out of here?" This proves that there is water! There's nothing wrong with this being a place to hide treasures! ”
Wu Xun and Xiong Zongheng both nodded together and said, "That's it!" That's it! There's water coming out, and everything is as shown on the map! What else could there be fake? ”
Xia Wanchun and Ma Yuanli looked at each other again, and they agreed, remembering this place, and then began to dig.
At this moment, the person who had been watching from the tall tree gave a signal. The man came quickly and said, "When I climbed up the tree, I saw smoke and dust coming from the west and south, and I saw a great army marching." You have to be careful! Let's get out of here! ”
Hearing him say this, everyone nodded, retreat first and then make a plan, anyway, the place where the treasure is hidden is known, and the Phoenix Mountain is also quite big, no matter how you dig three feet into the ground in the Manchu Dynasty, it is difficult to find it for a while.
You can have a large army here, and it will take time to transport gold or something in the future, and then you can send troops to come.
Let's let the Manchu Qing or Wu Sangui's people toss around here first! Without a treasure map, is it possible, do you want to bulldoze the entire Phoenix Mountain? Phoenix Mountain is not small, it is not so easy to say that it can be bulldozed.
Let's leave first, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood. As soon as they thought of this, Xia Wanchun and the others left.
It's just that the four big characters printed on the back of the treasure map are always around Xia Wanchun's eyes, so that Xia Wanchun can't get rid of it.
There are a lot of doubts, "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea" for what Zhang Xianzhong wants to print four words on his treasure map? What does he want? He regarded the treasure map as a treasure, and he still gave it to Yue Zhicheng before he died, which proved that his treasure map could not be fake. Then he doesn't need to do anything more, and there are more unfamiliar sentences on the treasure map! It's weird!
When Xia Wanchun and the others all left, Bato appeared, it turned out that he had been following Xia Wanchun and the others, and it was difficult for Xia Wanchun and the others to find him yet.
Barto looked at the stone drum and said, "Hey! Ma Yuanli and Xia Wanchun, your vigilance is really not bad, but unfortunately, you still haven't been able to find us! Thank you for showing me the way! Otherwise, how could I have discovered the treasure field? Zhang Xianzhong's huge treasure will be our Qing Dynasty! ”
Bato is waiting, waiting for the arrival of the Qing army, and now let Xia Wanchun and others leave, there is nothing left. Anyway, as long as you get the treasure, it's fine.
The fastest to arrive was Prince Azig, and as soon as he heard that he had money, he would arrive like a fly! He was a man who was exceedingly greedy for money.
As soon as Azig had spoken, Barto and his men were waiting for him, and as soon as they saw him, they ushered him here.
It's just that they found out the latest news again, Wu Sangui's men and horses have also arrived, Wu Sangui nominally wants to obtain the treasure and make miraculous contributions to the Manchu Dynasty, of course, he doesn't necessarily want to do this.
Bato said to Azig: "Now what we have to do is to stabilize Wu Sangui first, and don't let Wu Sangui come here!" Wu Sangui must have come to grab the treasure! We can't let him get away with it! ”
Bato said, and took out a secret letter from his bosom, which was given to Wu Sangui by Dolgon, ordering Wu Sangui to garrison, and at the same time, he would also transfer the people of Liangguang to Guizhou to put heavy pressure on Guizhou, so that Wu Sangui, who occupied Yunnan and Sichuan, would no longer think about dominating the treasure. The treasure could only be owned by the Manchus.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that Hong Chengchou actually came in person! Because Hong Chengchou received a secret order from Emperor Shunzhi, he also led troops into Sichuan, and he could not let the treasure be possessed.
More than 2,000 people such as He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun also gathered in the Hanzhong area of Shaanxi, and they also wanted to enter Sichuan. Some of the remnants of the power have heard of the treasure, and He Tengjiao and others have also opened, of course, they have to join forces with He Tengjiao and others. Besides, Wu Sangui will also resort to intrigues for the sake of treasure......
Only Zhang Biwu's men and horses did not move, but they were closely watching the development of the situation, and Zhang Biwu also thought that the treasure map was here with him, so there should be nothing wrong, how could he think that Xia Wanchun would still be unfavorable.
As soon as Xia Wanchun left Phoenix Mountain and arrived in Shaanxi, he got the latest news that Azig had led a large army to blockade Phoenix Mountain.
And Wu Sangui also took advantage of the name of protecting the treasure, and he also led the army to the vicinity of Phoenix Mountain. Hong Chengchou also took the opportunity to prepare to enter Sichuan, and at the same time he was wary of Azig and Wu Sangui, he just wanted to rely on his ingenuity to make the huge treasure not fall into the personal hands of Dolgon or Wu Sangui, but in the hands of the imperial court, which was the best thing.
When Xia Wanchun heard this, he felt a wave of fear, so he hurriedly sent a letter to Zhang Biwu, telling Zhang Biwu that many forces from all parties had joined the treasure hunt, and asked him to send troops immediately.
Ma Yuanli thought that all of them in Daxi had said that they had given the treasure to Zhang Biwu, and now the treasure has become tricky, and it is not easy to seize it. (To be continued......)
