David? Dean they didn't have any choice, they came in a hurry this time, so although there were a lot of people coming, they didn't carry any heavy weapons. The most powerful ones were only two light machine guns, and they didn't have much ammo, and on top of that, grenades, a Leenfeld-style rifle, and a pistol...

These weapons, in any case, have no way to compete with those Chinese on the cliff.

If nothing else, the heavy machine guns above alone only need an instant to crush them to pieces.

So when Situ Nan proposed to let them enter the mausoleum and then slowly dig it out by themselves, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only choose such a way.

Thankfully, these Chinese do not seem to be untrustworthy people. At least before letting them in, they were provided with enough food and water, and a set of tools that they could dig out of itβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” although it would take them a long time to dig out of it with only such a set of tools, but it at least meant that they still had hope of coming out alive, rather than being completely trapped inside, for David? Dean, they're just going to know that...

Naturally, as mentioned earlier, when the weapons were handed over, some disputes inevitably broke out between the two sides. After all, if they hand over their weapons, they will inevitably be too insecure. Especially when the Chinese around are equipped with this weapon. If they suddenly repent, then it will only take a few seconds. Maybe they all died in the Valley of the Kings.

It is also because of this relationship that the British quarrel is very fierce. Even to the point where I almost turned against it.

Good for David? Dean and Howard and the others are quite smart, and they know that if they really turn their faces, they will be dead and alive, and if they obey, there is still a relatively good hope of survival.

Therefore, after explaining to each other, they obediently handed over their weapons, and then followed the group into the mausoleum.

However, just as Howard and the others were about to enter the mausoleum, they were stopped by Situ Nan and the others on the side.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"What are you?"

Looking at Situ Nan and the others who stopped him, Howard looked over with some puzzlement.

And look at him puzzled. Situ Nan said with a smile. "They'll need to go in, but you and the people around you don't." After speaking, Situ Nan glanced at the direction in the distance. "After the matter here is over, we should also evacuate here, it is difficult to say whether there will be any danger along the way, naturally we need some security to be at ease."

"And most importantly, we need someone to prove what happened here, and our own words are probably not enough to convince anyone else completely. There is no one more suitable than you at this time. ”

"Otherwise, when those who have already entered the mausoleum come out, as long as they say something nonsense, won't it be us who is unreasonable at that time?"

Heard Situ Nan say this. Howard immediately understood what he meant.

Situ Nan's meaning is actually very simple, although Britain has weakened, but after all, it is also the most powerful country in the world. Along the way, they mostly took the sea route. No one can guarantee that they will arrive in China safely, so they always need to bring some hostages to make a talisman on the roadβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” which is like a police movie in later generations. Whether it's a bank robber or a robber, they will take a hostage with them. In this way, the police will not dare to do something too drastic.

The same is true now, although Situ Nan thinks that the British should not be able to detect it so quickly, but no one dares to guarantee that his plan will really be seamless.

Therefore, if you can follow such a group of people around you at this time, then at least there is some security in terms of safety, and it can also make the British have some scruples.

Naturally, there may be none.

After all, there were so many things they were carrying this time, and they could be described as priceless. Although these things may not be important to the British government, it cannot be said that the British will not give up Howard's lifeβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” at least at this stage, Howard is just a very ordinary British, an Englishman with no special reputation...

After he discovered Tutankhamun's tomb, Howard did rise to fame, especially after the rumors of the curse of the pharaoh broke.

But this, after all, was before Yan Shao crossed over.

After Yan Shao traveled over, many things in this plane have been changed, such as the discovery of Tutankhamun's mausoleum this time.

Although the discovery of the tomb does support his past belief that there is at least one undiscovered tomb of a pharaoh here. It can be regarded as allowing Howard to wash away the possibility of being called an 'idiot', but at the moment, after all, no one knows about the discovery of the mausoleum, let alone the discoverer is not him...

Therefore, Howard at this time was just an insignificant little person.

For such a small person, it is really difficult to say whether the British will have scruples.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Fortunately, Situ Nan just wanted to have one more guarantee, and he didn't expect him to have much effect. What really makes Situ Nan feel fortunate is that although the British navy is indeed very strong, it seems that most of the British navy is actually concentrated in Europe.

In other words, at least in this part of Egypt, especially in the Red Sea, the British were not particularly strong in naval power.

It is particularly important to note that the destination of their trip is Iraq, China's overseas province, where China also has a certain amount of naval power, and although this naval power is likely not comparable to that of the British, there is no problem in ensuring their safe arrival in Iraq.

And as long as they can get to Iraq safely, then their safety is completely guaranteed.

It's not really safe, after all, the British still have a strong force in Afghanistan.

In addition, the southern part of Iran was also in the British sphere of influence, and if they wanted to return to China by land, they would inevitably pass through Iran, and the British would be able to do so by that time.

The problem is that the discovery, while tempting, was not yet worth it for the British...

At least, not to the point where it is worth turning the British against the Chinese ...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

And in addition to the role of this amulet, Howard's biggest role is to serve as a credential.

This time, Situ Nan and the others did not kill the killer after all, so if the British who were imprisoned came out, then it was possible for them to say anything. Especially when the British government invites it, it is very likely that it will bite back.

If that is the case, it is very likely to turn into an international contradiction.

Although there is no need for China to be afraid of Britain now, it is better to have less trouble and other things if you can.

It is for this reason that they need to take Howard back to China with them.

In this way, even if those people really crawled out, with Howard and others in their hands, at least they could confirm what happened at that time, and the so-called truth would not be buried, let alone endanger them...

Of course, they can actually choose a plan similar to cutting grass and eradicating the roots, but in that case, after all, the outside world will not have a good impression of them, and at this time, the impression is very important.

Fortunately, there are still many countries that do not like Britain at this time, so at that time, I am afraid that public opinion will not be too biased in favor of Britain.

Especially the United States, don't think that the United States has helped Britain many times, and there will be no contradictions between the two countries.

Even in later generations, when Britain was called the closest dog leg of the United States, there was still a certain amount of contradictions, not to mention that Britain was still the strongest hegemon in the world.

There can be no doubt that, at least for now, while the British are still strong, they have not yet considered the question of a peaceful transition of power with the Americans, as they did in later generations...

Now they are still trying to maintain the dignity of their world hegemon...

Anyway, in the end, the other Britons obediently followed Situ Nan's orders and walked into the mausoleum on their own, leaving only Howard and David? Dean had several other important Englishmen who remained.

However, just when the British and Egyptians were looking at each other, not knowing what would happen next, they saw a group of strange and familiar people also walking in, these were naturally the tomb robbers who were often active in the Valley of the Kings.

After leaving them behind, Situ Nan and the others quickly ordered the entrance to the mausoleum to be sealed and disguised.

Then, Situ Nan and the others carried all the treasures obtained from this archaeology, and set out to the nearest town, where there were already ships waiting for them...
