While Tang Qianrou and her party flew from Chengdu to Beijing and then to Manchuria, Zheng Cangqiong, Lian Jiuqi and Mo Duqiao also left Sichuan, but did not take the same route as Tang Qianrou and others, but first returned to Harbin to make simple preparations, and then flew to Ulaanbaatar in Outer Mongolia, and then arrived at the final destination Khobdo via Ulaanbaatar.

Lian Jiuqi considered that if they also chose the westbound route, there was a high chance that they would encounter someone from the Cusco Company, so in order to avoid direct conflict, they could only take a detour route, and besides, Lian Jiuqi also needed to meet an unmasked friend in Kobdo.

"Without him leading the way, it would have been difficult for us to enter the Altai Mountains, because the situation there is much more complicated than we imagined." Lian Jiuqi explained why he was looking for that friend, "That area is originally a multi-ethnic area, and here is Outer Mongolia, with our identity, even if it is under the banner of tourism, it is also a lot of inconvenience, but Cusco is different, they have a company here, they have investment, and they have the best cover." ”

Mo Duqiao, who was leaning against the barbed wire outside the airport, wiped his sunglasses and asked, "Since they are friends, why are they unmasked?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong looked at the endless grassland in the distance through the barbed wire, and suddenly felt a trace of fear in his heart.

"This man is one of the few remaining descendants of a small tribe in Outer Mongolia, and he swore for some reason that he would never leave Mongolia for the rest of his life, not even Inner Mongolia, but he knew very well that his children and grandchildren could not be trapped here for the rest of their lives, so he tried every means to send his son to the United States, when he reached an agreement with the Cusco company, hoping to exchange a batch of precious gold objects for the opportunity to let his son stay in the United States." Lian Jiuqi looked at the lane in the distance, looking forward to the appearance of that friend, "Later, although he delivered that batch of gold objects as scheduled, the number of gold objects was not enough, and there were still two pieces missing, and the people from Cusco Company thought that he was in breach of contract and decided not to fulfill his promise, I helped him, but at that time I was only on the phone with him." ”

Mo Duqiao nodded, "You are a bit like your master, you know very well that you should do more good deeds instead of making enemies everywhere. ”

Lian Jiuqi smiled faintly: "The mountains don't turn around, now it seems that there is no ability and ability, and even people who need to follow you to eat, maybe one day they can pull you, save your life, be a man, even if you can't do a good deed every day, don't make enemies, that is tantamount to burying mines for your future road." ”

Zheng Cangqiong said: "At this point, the torture technique is also very good, so he has more friends now than me." ”

When Zheng Cangqiong was talking, Lian Jiuqi's phone rang, he picked it up, listened for a while, and said in Chinese: "Got it, I will wait for you here all the time, but you'd better arrive before dark." ”

When Lian Jiuqi hung up the phone, Zheng Cangqiong asked again: "Why did this person swear that he couldn't leave Mongolia?" Who the hell is he? Is the identity special? ”

"Very special, his full name is Ural Khan. Torre. Abate, the name sounds long, but in fact Ural Khan is the name of his tribe, Torreh is his name, and Abate is the name of a subordinate clan of the tribe. When Lian Jiuqi said this, he looked around and pointed to a restaurant across the road, "It's too windy outside, let's go over there and wait for him, have a cup of tea, and I'll tell you slowly." ”

Just after Lian Jiuqi and the three of them walked to the restaurant, Tang Qianrou and the others walked out of the airport tiredly.

The torturers did not expect Tang Qianrou to choose such a complicated and tiring route - after they arrived in Manchuria, they flew from Manchuria to Chita in the Russian Federation, and from Chita to Ulaanbaatar in Outer Mongolia, and then transferred to Kobdo.

There are two reasons why Tang Qianrou chose this route that is exhausting to calm people: first, they must use fake identities in Beijing, so that even if the police track down Xingshu and Chen Taidong, they will also focus on Beijing, and at the same time, the whereabouts of the two will be completely cut off here; Second, Tang Qianrou needed to meet with two important people in Manchuria and Ulaanbaatar.

So, by the time they arrived in Kobdo, the number of people in the group had changed from six to ten.

In addition to the two bodyguards who brought in Chengdu Airport to undertake the construction, a man and a woman were also added.

The man's name is Gu Jiale, Tang Qianrou called him Ah Le, a 45-year-old middle-aged man, but also a French-Chinese, a retired soldier of the French Foreign Legion - Ah Le went to France in the late eighties, when he graduated from high school not long ago, in order to stay in France, he had to choose the only shortcut, that is, to join the French Foreign Legion, shortly after joining the army, he participated in the Desert Storm operation of the multinational force against Iraq, and then followed the army to many places, and after obtaining French nationality, he was transferred to the Third Mobile Battalion of the Foreign Legion, Responsible for the training of recruits. After retiring, he joined the Cusco company in order to make money because of the expansion of the company, but the year after joining, he was removed from the list because he kept the antiques obtained from the treasure hunt.

Because Ah Le had participated in a major and illegal treasure hunt, Cusco originally planned to make it disappear permanently, but after Wan Qingquan saw Ah Le's information, he asked Tang Qianrou to "raise" him in case of emergency.

And the woman who got on the plane from Ulaanbuto is called Reed Flute, a Chinese-Mongolian mixed-race, and Tang Qianrou is the most important person, although she is 28 years old, she has studied Altai culture for ten years, has been to the Altai Mountains region six times, and has approached the Four Seasons Mountain three times, and is one of the professional consultants and guides of the Cusco company's exploration team.

Why is it said that she is just one of the guides? Because Tang Qianrou told the torture that the relationship between the two survey teams had suffered heavy losses before, they realized that they must have the most professional guide to go to Four Seasons Mountain, and this most professional guide can only find the locals of Four Seasons Mountain, that is, the legendary Golden Eagle Clan.

"Golden Eagle Clan? Are you the aborigines of the Four Seasons Mountains? "The torture knows the Golden Eagle Hunters, which belong to the Kazakhs, but the Golden Eagle Tribes are unheard of.

When Xingshu asked questions, the car happened to drive past the one opposite the airport, and Xingshu didn't expect Zheng Cangqiong, Lian Jiuqi and Mo Duqiao to be sitting in the restaurant.

Tang Qianrou sat there with a mirror and touched up her makeup, and explained at the same time: "To be precise, they are called the Golden Eagle Tribe, similar to the Golden Eagle Hunters of the Kazakh Tribe. ”

The torture technique asked again: "So, if we don't pass through the people of the Golden Eagle Tribe, we won't be able to enter the Four Seasons Mountain?" ”

"Not necessarily, the people of the Golden Eagle Tribe never prevent anyone from entering the mountain, do you know what the reason is?" Tang Qianrou put down the mirror, looked at the torture technique and said seriously, "Because they believe that the Four Seasons Mountain is protected by the ancestral spirits of the Golden Eagle Tribe, but anyone who wants to enter the Four Seasons Mountain, in their eyes, is almost like a sacrifice, who will stop the sacrifice that is actively offered?" ”

The torture technique is understood, which is why the people of the Golden Eagle Tribe did not stop the first two groups of Cusco expedition teams at all, they know very well what will happen to the expedition team once they enter the mountain.

Torture asked, "But how can the people of this tribe help us?" ”

"The person I was looking for used to be from this tribe, but then he left the tribe and came to a big city outside, so he was also called 'that ancient capital' by the people of their tribe, which translates to 'vulgarizer'." Tang Qianrou packed up her cosmetics, "He is already very old, he used to be the witch doctor of the Golden Eagle Tribe, he has no name, and now he is called 'Angu' later." ”

"Anko? What do you mean? Maffei in front of him immediately asked.

Tang Qianrou said: "It doesn't have any meaning, it's just a transliterated title, since the name doesn't have any meaning, it means that this person actually doesn't exist, so Angu can also mean that it doesn't exist." ”

Xingshu pondered for a while, and then asked, "How many people are in the survey team this time?" ”

"With the addition of the 10 people who haven't met yet and Anko, there are 21 people in total." After Tang Qianrou finished speaking, she deliberately pretended to think of something, stared at the eyes of the torture technique, and said, "The other 10 people are armed men, you know what I mean, right?" So, don't play any tricks. ”

Tang Qianrou's words made the torture technique seem to fall into the ice cellar, he knew what the 10 armed men meant, and Ma Fei, who was sitting in front, of course knew better, because in addition to recruiting a lot of professional archaeologists and treasure hunters, most of them were retired soldiers, and even some were directly headhunters from mercenary companies, these people were all on the edge of the law, or rather, these people only had money in their eyes, and there was no so-called law at all, so they only needed Tang Qianrou's eyes, They can pull the trigger and kill their target without hesitation.

"This is Mongolia, not China." Tang Qianrou smiled faintly, "Your network doesn't play any role here, and your police friends can't help you, you used the fake passport I gave you to go abroad, so your police friends don't even know that you have left China now, and the meaning of this is very simple, that is, let you feel at ease and help me find the Qimen hidden in the Four Seasons Mountain, don't think about things you can't do at all." ”

In the face of Tang Qianrou's direct threat, the torture technique only responded lightly: "Got it." ”

Tang Qianrou's answer made Tang Qianrou very satisfied, and after she put on her blindfold, she said softly: "There are still two hours to go, wake me up when you arrive." ”

Xingshu looked out the window, only to find that the car had driven out of the city, driving fast on a lone road on the grassland, and soon left the lone road, galloping towards the south of the grassland.

Chen Taidong, who was sitting in the car in the back, kept staring at Wan Qingquan, who was sitting directly opposite him, his eyes were full of anger.

"Why?" Chen Taidong asked, he couldn't remember how many times he asked "why" along the way, only that Wan Qingquan didn't answer him at all, and even his expression and breathing didn't change.

But this time, Wan Qingquan adjusted his sitting posture and finally spoke: "For the ideal." ”

"Ideal? What are your ideals? Chen Taidong's brows never stretched, "Did you find Qimen?" Or do you want to be rich? ”

Wan Qingquan asked him rhetorically: "Taidong, we are cargo chasers, and the lifelong goal of cargo chasers is to find Qimen, don't you deny this?" ”

Chen Taidong said angrily: "But this doesn't mean that you can do all those things that hurt nature and reason!" ”

Wan Qingquan sneered: "There are good and evil in the world, there are light and dark, yin and yang, which are complementary to each other, if there is no evil, where is justice?" I ask you, have you ever killed someone? ”

Chen Taidong gritted his teeth and said: "I killed all the people who should be killed!" ”

"Do you deserve to die or not?" Wan Qingquan said lightly, "You don't say it, God also says it doesn't count, in areas where there is no legal system, people always carry the banner of God to do what they want to do, you and I are the same." ”

Chen Taidong shook his head: "We are different!" You're a bunch of beasts! ”

Wan Qingquan nodded: "Yes, beast, at least I'm honest." ”

"Are you honest?" Chen Taidong grabbed Wan Qingquan's collar, and the bodyguard of the Cusco company next to him wanted to make a move, but Wan Qingquan raised his hand to stop him, Chen Taidong said, "If you were honest, you wouldn't have framed Lian Jiuqi in the first place!" ”

Wan Qingquan approached Chen Taidong's face: "Taidong, when we were compiling "Nine Sons" in the past, Si Rong and I hinted at you many times, let you join the gang, and find Qimen with us, but you refused, I really don't understand, why did you refuse?" Can you answer me? Can you unravel my doubts over the years? ”

Chen Taidong let go of Wan Qingquan: "Do you still remember the dragon scale armor that is said to have been handed down from the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Remember, that's your most beloved treasure, the most precious treasure you've ever found in your career as a cargo chaser." Wan Qingquan closed his eyes and recalled, "The outer layer is a double-layered armored dragon scale, and the inside is wrapped in a layer of chain mail, invulnerable, the strong bow cannot be shot through within ten steps, the most amazing thing is that the dragon scale armor will change different colors according to the light, after dripping with blood, the outer layer of dragon scales will become blood red, so it is also called blood dragon armor, it is really a treasure, the most important thing is that few people know its existence." ”

Chen Taidong looked at Wan Qingquan and shook his head constantly: "Do you know how I got that dragon scale armor?" ”

Wan Qingquan said: "Of course, you found it from the Eight Kings Palace, and you almost died. ”

"Yes, I almost died, but in the end I survived." Chen Taidong fell into memories, "When I walked out of that cave with the box containing the dragon scale armor on my back, I couldn't wait to open the box, only to find that the original silver-white dragon scale armor had turned blood red, do you know why? Because the surface of the box has long been infiltrated by blood, and all that blood is shed for the people who are fighting for that dragon scale armor! ”

Wan Qingquan said lightly: "You are indeed very powerful, you are a genius, recognized as a genius, you can face more than twenty people who want to take away the dragon scale armor in that harsh environment, but you are still ......"

"Shut up!" Chen Taidong looked very excited, "At that time, I entered three teams, and in the end I was the only one who survived, and my two brothers also died inside!" ”

Wan Qingquan said with a smile: "This is also what I admire you very much, you can even do it for the sake of treasures, you can even do it as a brother, which is why we wanted to pull you into the gang in the first place." ”

"No, I didn't kill them, but what I did was no different from killing them." Chen Taidong sat there with a wry smile, his face sank with a smile, "The people of the third master and the group of Vietnamese fought, we took the opportunity to take out the dragon scale armor, but just as we were about to leave the entrance of the cave, my two brothers began to kill each other for the dragon scale armor, I originally wanted to stop it, but when I saw the dragon scale armor thrown aside, a terrible thought suddenly popped up in my mind, I thought, if they both die, this dragon scale armor will belong to me." ”

Chen Taidong raised his eyes and looked at Wan Qingquan: "Then, I really watched them stab each other, I stabbed each other, until both of them stared at each other, I was not in a hurry, nor was I sad, I just grabbed the box and ran, laughing while running, I felt so smart, I was really the smartest person in the world, and then when I calmed down, I felt scared, I felt that I was simply not a human, I was a demon, for a long time, I blamed that armor, I thought there must be a monster on it, It was the monster that got on me and turned me into that, but in reality, I knew very well that it had nothing to do with that armor and was my own fault. ”

Wan Qingquan said coldly: "Yes, this has nothing to do with people, not strange goods, so is it wrong for us to look for Qimen?" No. ”

Chen Taidong grabbed Wan Qingquan's wrist: "Qingquan, stop it, go turn yourself in, go to atone, don't you understand?" When every strange thing appears in the world, the ugliest side of people is revealed, a dragon scale armor can make people become devils, what about Qimen? That is equivalent to opening the gate of the underworld and releasing all the demons and monsters inside, do you know how many people will die? Do you know how many people will be implicated? ”

Although Chen Taidong was excited, his tone was close to pleading, but even in the face of this pleading, Wan Qingquan was still indifferent, and a smile appeared on his face instead: "Taidong, what are you doing now that you don't die?" You will fall to death when you walk, you will choke to death when you drink water, you will die when you drive, and you may have a myocardial infarction even if you have nightmares while sleeping! ”

Wan Qingquan's words made Chen Taidong gradually calm down, the two of them looked at each other for a long time, and Chen Taidong asked again: "How many people founded the Cusco company?" Who else besides you, Si Rong, and Cai Nayun? ”

Wan Qingquan said: "Before we boarded the plane, I received news that Cai Nayun died. ”

Chen Taidong was surprised: "Dead? Really dead? ”

Wan Qingquan shook his head: "It's really dead, the police have announced it, the autopsy procedures are gone, it's wrong, it's him." ”

Chen Taidong shook his head: "He may not be dead, he may be like you, he also used a stand-in." ”

Wan Qingquan said with a smile: "I use a stand-in, Qianrou and others are clear, but Cai Nayun doesn't, do you know what he has been responsible for for so many years?" In other words, he was the one who charged into battle, and he did all the things that offended people, so he was killed, which was what we expected, and as for who killed him, I don't know, and I don't want to know. ”

Chen Taidong said: "I didn't expect that you have all become like this, and you are so indifferent in the face of the death of your brothers and friends. ”

"No, Taidong, you're wrong." Wan Qingquan grabbed Chen Taidong's wrist with his backhand, "We haven't changed, it's you who have changed." ”

Chen Taidong looked at Wan Qingquan's strange expression on his face, and felt that his heart was gradually filled with fear.
