After finding a hotel to stay, we had nothing to do, so we invited out for supper.

We don't live in the city center, so the flow of people is not very large, and it is not the tourist season, and there are only a few people at the night food stall in Nuoda.

The owner of the supper stall was a big-bellied bald man who seemed to be a bold man, and when I saw that he had made our food all right, I coaxed him to the table with a glass of beer.

After a few beers, everyone started talking, and while chatting, I asked about the ancient city wall.

According to the boss, the city wall of Nanchang has no distinction between ancient and modern at all, and the current city wall is the previous city wall, but the city wall has been demolished during the Republic of China, and now there are only ruins in Nanchang City, no city wall.

I asked Chen Youliang about the attack on Hongdu back then, and the boss patted his belly and said that there was nothing he didn't know about it, and he said that he grew up listening to this story.

It turned out that the Hongdu city wall that Chen Youliang attacked back then was the ancient city wall of Nanchang now, and it was not at all what I imagined stopping at the lake and attacking the city wall with a boat, that is to say, Chen Youliang gave up his advantage of a strong ship, but stationed the army outside the narrow and strong Hongdu City, and after spending more than a month with the Hongdu defenders, he was finally surrounded and annihilated by Zhu Yuanzhang's reinforcements who rushed over.

Hearing this, I wondered, this Chen Youliang can stand out among the many rebel armies, and finally become the overlord of the world with Zhu Yuanzhang, how to say that it should be a bit of a civil and martial strategy, and he was also a general of the Yuan court's sailors, logically speaking, he would not make this kind of strategic mistake of attacking the other's strengths with his own shortcomings, why can I see such a simple plan to delay the army, but he can't see it?

The boss no longer treats himself as an outsider at this time, he eats and drinks a big glass of food, and when he sees that there is less on the plate, he turns his head and shouts at the store, so his wife comes out and stir-fries a few dishes for us.

"I heard that not long ago, an ancient tomb group was found on the side of the city wall, and it was stolen, do you know about it, big brother?" I poured my boss a glass of wine and asked.

"Oh, this thing, I know, hey, how can there be any ancient tombs, that is, when excavating the ancient bricks of the city wall, a few bones were dug out at the foot of the wall, and some ancient artifacts were found from the pile of bones, I heard that it was from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, I guess, it was the person who died there when Chen Youliang attacked the city!"

"Hehe, people nowadays are really pervasive, and they even dare to steal from the archaeological site, and I don't know if this thief was caught in the end?" I asked tentatively.

"Who's to say it's not, why do you say you're okay to steal that thing, you have to exchange money if you steal it, you have to find a buyer to change it, it's not troublesome enough. But ah, I heard that this thief didn't catch it in the end, he must have taken something abroad, aren't those foreign devils abroad the rarest of our ancestors' strange things? The boss said in a whimsical manner.

I nodded and continued to ask, "Do you know where the big brother found those bones?" ”

The boss burped, took a bite of leeks, and replied vaguely: "It's on the edge of Qingshan Lake, next to Hongdu Avenue, but this thing is last year, and it has been restored at this time, and you can't see anything when you go, no, buddy, why are you asking about this?" ”

As soon as the boss said this, Qiu Yan and a few people obviously panicked, and I saw that the situation was wrong, so I hurriedly teased: "Hehe, don't hide it from the eldest brother, a few of us are archaeologists, this time we are here to study the ancient city wall of Nanchang, didn't I just heard about the theft of the archaeological site, so I asked you." ”

The boss leaned back and said as if he had a realization: "Oh, that's the case, oops, that's great, you don't know, our people here are thinking about restoring the ancient city wall, you have to worry about it!" ”

I nodded hurriedly, and took the conversation away as I ate.

Seeing that the beer had bottomed out, I urged Qiu Yan to check out and leave, but now the topic is a bit far, and I am afraid that if we continue to talk, we will show our feet.

On the way back to the hotel, Qiu Yan walked beside me and whispered: "Zimu, do you know that Qingshan Lake was called East Lake in ancient times, and the ancient city wall of Nanchang was built around East Lake. ”

I was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan nodded and continued: "That's right, if what the boss said just now is true, then Chen Youliang besieged the area around East Lake back then. ”

I laughed out loud after listening to it, this is really, when I got to the mountains, it was full of mountains, and now when I arrived at the lake, everything I saw and heard was water, this Chen Youliang didn't keep such a big Poyang Lake, why did he just catch the small East Lake?

I thought about it while walking, and it didn't take long to return to the hotel, and before entering the room, we decided that we would go to Qingshan Lake tomorrow to have a look.

The hotel is not big, it is a small three-story building, the first floor is the hall, the second and third floors have seven rooms each, and we live on the second floor.

The lights in the corridor are the kind of voice-activated lights, and it is estimated that the boss has been on for a short time in order to save electricity.

I waited until the other people had entered the room, then I took out my key card and leaned against the handle, and with the "dripping" sound of the handle, the door unlocked.

Just as I was turning the handle to enter the room, suddenly there was a strong wind behind me, and I could feel it coming towards me.

I jerked around, covered my face with my left elbow, and punched out with my right hand.

Sure enough, it was a man who came, and this man's movements were very light, and even if the range of movements was so large, the voice-activated lights were not activated.

The man didn't seem to attack me, he reached out from under my elbow and covered my mouth, then grabbed my fist with his other hand and pushed me back into the room.

"Brother He! It's me! The man called softly.

So familiar!

I only remember one of those who called me that.

"I'll go, Long Quan, why are you here here?!" I pushed the comer away and asked angrily.

Long Quan ran back to the door and gently closed the door, and I inserted the key card into the card slot, and in an instant, the room was bright.

Long Quan is still the same, his hairstyle hasn't changed, his complexion hasn't changed, even the smiling face that looked at me hasn't changed, the cedar stick is still stuck behind his waist, and he was still a little shy after the two of us met under the light.

"I'll go, Long Quan, why are you here here?" I repeated the previous question.

"Hehe, Brother He, let's sit down and talk!" Long Quan pointed to the two chairs by the window and smiled.

I had a stomach full of questions, and I just wanted Long Quan to answer them quickly, so I sat down immediately.

"Hehe, Brother He, I followed you all the way, but I didn't think it was really you!" Long Quan also sat down and spoke.

As soon as he said this, I became even more curious, what is he doing with us? What do you mean by not expecting us?

With the dragons coming one by one, I finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that after Long Quan separated from us in the provincial capital, he began to look around for Chen Fangyuan's whereabouts, but he couldn't find any trace of Chen Fangyuan.

Later, Long Quan, like us, set his sights on Poyang Lake, and he also inquired about the strange tourists, but Long Quan learned about it a few days earlier than us.

After that, Long Quan heard that someone had broken into Baozhuji several times in a row, so he changed his target to us.

Since we have been staying on Brother Zeng's boat for the past few days, Long Quan didn't know who we were, he only knew that it was two boatmen nearby who entered Poyang Lake.

When we returned to the dock from Jiujiang City and set off for Nanchang on Brother Zeng's boat, Long Quan followed, and he quietly followed us to this hotel, and also opened a room, waiting for us to come back from supper.

And then, there's what just happened.

Long Quan said that he was standing next to the hotel and recognized us when he saw us going out for supper, so he planned to give me such a "surprise".

I smiled helplessly, I was not happy at all, surprised, indeed surprised.

However, compared to Long Quan's appearance, I was even more surprised that he followed us all the way and I didn't find out, I said in my heart that this kid didn't go to be a scout, it's a pity!

"Brother He, when we broke up, didn't I say that you don't get involved in this matter, it's not good for you!" In the end, Long Quan complained about me.

"Hehe, I remember that, but I also remember you said that you know we won't give up easily!"

Long Quan shook his head, regained his smile, and asked, "Then what are you here for?" ”

In fact, since I came back from Xiangxi, my wariness of Long Quan has almost disappeared, although I still can't see through the person in front of me, but my subconscious knows that this person will not harm me.

Now, Qiu Yan and I have no clue, so I want to simply set up information with this "soul killer".

"Hey, after coming back from Xiangxi, you Mr. Qiu have a bitter face all day long, and you are very worried about her family's genetic disease, but we don't have a clue, so we want to start with Chen Youliang!"

"Chen Youliang?" Long Quan seemed surprised, "How did you come up with the idea of checking Chen Youliang?" ”

"Do you remember being under that hole? Didn't we see some inscriptions below at that time? The inscription mentions a man named Huang Zongman. ”

Long Quan lowered his head and recalled, then patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I remember, this Huang Zongman was following Chen Youliang, that's why you thought of starting from Chen Youliang, right?" ”

I nodded, "That's right, but there is one thing you may not have expected, even I didn't expect that this Huang Zongman turned out to be my ancestor!" ”

"Your ancestors? Isn't your last name? ”

"Hey, it's a long story, in short, this Huang Zongman is my ancestor, that is to say, he is a real corpse chaser, he helped Chen Youliang complete that ceremony in Longshan back then, so we guess that he may have something to do with the tiger bone spearhead."

As I spoke, I kept paying attention to Long Quan's expression, and when I mentioned the corpse chaser and the evil ritual, although Long Quan was a little surprised, it was not what I expected at all, as if these had nothing to do with the Chen Fangyuan he was looking for.

"Then Brother He, what did you want to find out when you came to Nanchang? Did you find any clues? Long Quan asked.

I hesitated for a while, thinking that since I wanted to get clues from him, I had to tell him the reason clearly, and I guess Qiu Yan wouldn't blame me for this.

After weighing left and right for a moment, I told us what happened to us on Poyang Lake and the purpose of coming to Nanchang, but I jumped away from the part where I fell into darkness.

"So you guys go to Qingshan Lake tomorrow just to find out why Chen Youliang is besieging here?" Long Quan listened to my words, thought for a long time, and finally asked.

"That's right, I'm just strange, this Nanchang is not a strategic place, Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang were in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the other in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Chen Youliang could completely abandon Nanchang and concentrate his main forces on the Yangtze River, why did he have to hold on here?"

Long Quan sighed, "Hey, Brother He, you don't have to go tomorrow, I know about this!" ”
