Facing the eighteen-year-old Qin Beiyang's question, Xiao Xu sighed slightly: "Three months ago, Qu Jinghe and I had a banquet at the Anfu Club, and he lost his words after drinking and revealed that there was a treasure hidden in the house, which was the coffin of Li Longqi, the grandson of Wu Zetian and Gaozong Li Zhi, the king of Zhongnan County, who was just dug up from the Bailuyuan Tomb in Shaanxi last year. And in the body of King Jungnan County, there is a big secret buried. Whoever can get it will be able to achieve a temporary hegemony. ”

"What's the big secret?"

Qin Beiyang was also terrified in his heart, he was born in the underground palace of the Bailuyuan Tomb, on the coffin of the king of Zhongnan County, it is said that the little prince's thousand-year-old incorruptible face is similar to him. From the fierce and mysterious assassin, to Ouyang Sicong, the overlord of Shanghai, to the congressman to the Beiyang warlord, so many people paid their blood and lives just to chase this secret parasitic in the corpse of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty!

"There are clouds in "Liezi Tangwen" - the east of the Bohai Sea does not know hundreds of millions of miles, there are big ravines, but there is only a bottomless valley, and there is no bottom under it, and the name is called the ruins. The water of the eight and nine wildernesses, the flow of heaven and Han, are all injected, and there is no increase or decrease. ”

"What do you mean? Please speak human! ”

"The world is unified, eight Hong and one universe!"

"Sound familiar?"

"I'll just say it!" Xiao Xu was horizontal, and since he was kidnapped to this Tang Dynasty tomb, he didn't plan to get out alive, "Have you heard of it-the Son of Heaven in the Tomb." ”

In the ground where the four-winged angel town tomb beast was unearthed, there was a town tomb beast nine-colored guard above the head, this group of people seemed to be a burial vessel for the tomb owner, and when they heard the words "town tomb emperor", they couldn't help but ooze cold sweat from their vests.

"I know!"

Qin Beiyang observed Xiao Xu's eyes and thought that the possibility of him lying was very small.

"The key to open the Qianling Tomb is in the coffin of Li Zhi, the grandson of Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian, the king of Zhongnan County, Li Longqi!"

"Keys?"

Qin Beiyang's mind flashed "Heavenly Academy", and the ghost mask teacher said a sentence - "There is still a key missing!" ”

It turns out that this key is not only himself, but also the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty!

In other words, eighteen years ago, Qin Beiyang, who was born in the tomb of the Tang Dynasty in Bailuyuan and the coffin of the little prince, naturally has the attributes of this key!

"But what's in the coffin? Hell knows! Xiao Xu forgot that he was a prisoner, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, as if he was still in a meeting at the War Department, "But through this little prince of the Tang Dynasty, there is an opportunity to open the Qianling Tomb and dig up the tomb of the Emperor." ”

"Why?"

In fact, about the tomb of the Son of Heaven, Wu Zetian's Qianling, and the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty...... The relationship between the three - Qin Beiyang did not doubt it, but he wanted to dig out more secrets from Xu Shuzheng's mouth.

"When I was young and weak, I roamed the world with a sword, passing by Bailuyuan and Zhongnan Mountain, and I heard about it from the Taoist temple on the mountain. In the first year of Xuantong, the regent Zaifeng once secretly sent soldiers and horses, and had a secret operation in Shaanxi. At that time, I had just returned from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and had heard about it. ”

The first year of Xuantong? Qin Beiyang was secretly shocked in his heart, could it be that nine years ago, the regent's military operation was also related to the secret of his life experience?

"The regent dug up the Qianling?"

"Someone wants to dig! However, the regent strictly forbade to do anything to Qianling, saying that he was afraid of moving the imperial spirit of Guanzhong and affecting the Qing Dynasty and even the emperor system for more than 2,000 years. But three years later, the Xinhai Revolution and the Qing Dynasty were over! ”

"General Xiao Xu, you have the ambition to seize the world, obtain the legendary Son of Tomb Heaven, and want to open the Qianling Tomb of Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian. And the key to open the Qianling Tomb is the coffin of Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County in the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, I asked Congressman Qu Jinghe for 10,000 silver dollars to buy the coffin of the little prince, but he refused. However, whatever I Xiao Xu wants to get, even the moon in the sky must be plucked! I visited again in exchange for a promotion to Qu Jinghe as vice minister of communications, ensuring that he would take over as chief of communications in the next cabinet. He hesitated again and again, and in order to become the successor of the head of the Department of Communications, he was also afraid of offending me, so he agreed to hand over the Tang Dynasty coffin to me. ”

"On the night of Qu Jinghe's assassination, you sent someone to his house to pick up the coffin. The Assassin pretended to be one of your subordinates, forged your letters, took the coffin first, and killed Qu Jing and his family. But because the assassination consumed time, it happened that the men and horses you sent arrived and met on the narrow road of Di'anmen Street. The Assassin infiltrated the coffin and was taken to the War Department, where he nearly assassinated you. ”

Seeing Qin Beiyang's meticulous analysis, Xu Shuzheng couldn't help but admire: "It's not bad at all!" ”

"Did you see the little prince in the coffin?"

"Well, it's not rotten, it's a beautiful boy, and it's ......" The light just illuminated Qin Beiyang's face, Xu Shuzheng felt a little familiar, "It seems to be ...... Oh, my God! Something like you! ”

The masked Anna and Qi Yuanshan both looked at Qin Beiyang's face, and the eighteen-year-old face blushed a little, shook his head and said, "Don't look at me!" ”

"Understood, therefore, you also want to take back the coffin of the King of Zhongnan County?"

"Don't guess!" Qin Beiyang hid his face in the dark, "The second question - in this Jingjiao tomb, we dug up the four-winged angel tomb beast, which was originally stored in the vault of the Bank of Communications, why did it appear in the Nanyuan Arsenal?" ”

"Last year, I had the idea of transforming the Tomb Beast into a secret weapon on the battlefield. I ordered Dr. Holstein to take charge of hiring the former Qing royal craftsmen as the chief mechanic of the Nanyuan Arsenal, and transformed the Golden Toad Town Tomb Beast and the Ten Horns and Seven Heads Town Tomb Beast. ”

"The former Qing imperial craftsman you are talking about is Qin Customs, right?"

"Exactly! If I hadn't asked a foreign doctor to see him, I'm afraid he would have died of illness. ”

"Qin Customs is a craftsman who makes tomb beasts, but you force him to be a craftsman who makes murder weapons!"

Xiao Xu said righteously: "China has the tomb beast as a weapon, which can unify the north and the south internally, and recover the lost territory externally." ”

"So, you sent the Four-Winged Angel Town Tomb Beast stored in the vault of the Bank of Communications to the Nanyuan Arsenal for transformation?" Qin Beiyang jumped directly to the next question, "But why did you personally send this tomb beast to the plane of the French?" ”

"This ......," beads of sweat broke out on Xiao Xu's forehead, "Mr. Bo Xihe, a great sinologist, who is also the military attache and deputy attache of the French Legation in China, is asking for the Four-Winged Angel Tomb Beast on behalf of the French government. He said that this artifact was dug up from the tomb by his own hands, and it is also the result of a joint Sino-French archaeological team, and should be transported to France for academic research, just as he did when he transported 6,000 volumes of Dunhuang suicide note to Paris. And I said, how can France protect the safety of China's national treasure if it is at war now? ”

"I'm afraid the real intention of the French government is to transform this tomb beast into a weapon and send it to the European battlefield to fight the Germans."

"France is determined to win the Tomb Beast, and has promised to give me its full support by sending a large amount of weapons, ammunition and franc loans. Germany's defeat was decided, and the Entente countries, with Britain and France as the core, would surely dominate the world in the future. If I anger the French, it won't end well, so I'll use this antiquity in exchange for French aid, anyway, there are ancient tombs and tomb beasts under the land of China, and this four-winged angel is not bad! ”

At this point, Qin Beiyang has completely understood. As for Xiao Xu's dealings with the assassins, he had already overheard them in the secret passage at the top of the Thundersound Cave.

"General Xiao Xu, if we want to let you live, you must promise me three things."
