Chapter Eighty-Three: Welcome to the Shura Field (1)
The ninth year of the Republic of China, 1920, October.
Przevalsky.
The white Russian woman's face changed, she frowned, and took two steps back: "What are you talking about?" ”
Qin Beiyang remounted his horse and rushed to the tomb of Pzhevalsky on the shore of Lake Issyk-Kul, and instructed Jiuse and Xiaojun Wang to prepare for battle.
He said to Lao Jin again: "Thank you for the guide all the way, but there will be danger next, please go back to Xinjiang." ”
"What words? If you are in danger, how can Lao Jin escape? Uncle Nuggets rode on a gelding and raised a Russian gun, "I dig gold in the mountains, and I'm also a good hunter, you can use me." ”
Nine Colors drove forward again, and came to the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul, scattered dozens of Russian horses. There were also two White Russians watching the wind, and before they could react, the little king and Lao Jin had already opened fire and eliminated them quickly.
On the steep and steep shore stands a bronze bust of a Russian soldier. The tomb had been opened by explosives, revealing a long passage, and Colonel Ivanov's gang had entered.
Qin Beiyang turned her head and glared at Wolfna, she shook her head and pretended to be angry: "What are you doing with me?" ”
Before burrowing into the ground, he carefully examined the marble tombstone—
Nikolai Mikhailovich Převalsky, who has entered China many times on expeditions, has found the disappeared Lop Nur, the mother of all wild horses in the world, named after him "Pzhevalsky Wild Horse", referred to as "Przewalski's Wild Horse". His expeditionary achievements were unprecedented in the 19th century, correcting many map errors and collecting a large number of hides and animal and plant specimens. In 1888, he died of illness on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul during an expedition, and the tsar renamed the town Převalsky.
The tombstone is engraved with the famous words of Przevalsky - "I want to run back to the desert, where there is absolute freedom and the cause I love, where it is a hundred times happier than to marry and live in a splendid palace." ”
The little king suddenly remembered: "Oh, my father said that when Pzhevalsky passed through Ordos, his father personally received him, but he thought that this person had come to hunt for Chinese treasures and expelled him from Mongolia. ”
Wolfna grabbed Qin Beiyang's arm: "Qin, don't go in, Ivanov will kill you." This is not a Chinese tomb, it is worthless to you. ”
"Wrong, for the White Russians, this tomb is worth ten thousand taels of gold."
Qin Beiyang felt dizzy and anxious to enter the tomb to relieve the cancer cells burning in his chest. I don't know, does this Russian tomb more than 30 years ago have the aura of a Chinese tomb? But he had to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
In a trance, a noisy sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him. Xiaojun Wang and Lao Jin raised their guns in shock, only to see hundreds of soldiers in blue Beiyang military uniforms, waving the five-color flag of the Republic of China, could it be that they are here to regain the lost territory?
The border guards stationed in Yining, the officer was a cavalry commander, who led three hundred cavalry across the border and was ordered to come to protect the congressman Xiaojunwang.
"Oh, you're already in Russia, and you're not afraid of trouble?"
The bearded regiment leader laughed and said in a Gansu Hezhou accent: "There are so many White Russian bandits who have entered China like a cow's hair, and they are not rude!" ”
The king of the small county immediately ordered: "Your Excellency the regimental commander, please lead the army into the tomb, the Ivanov bandits are inside, and they must be exterminated or captured." ”
The regiment commander was also unambiguous, and all the soldiers dismounted, loaded their bullets, and lined up in front of the corridor. It is still the nine-colored opening of the tomb beast in the town, Qin Beiyang and the little county king step into the tomb one after the other. Old Kim and Wolfna walked in the middle.
The road is very deep, is it the bottom of Lake Issyk-Kul? The more he walked, the colder it became, as if he had counted nine cold days, the cancer cells in Qin Beiyang's chest seemed to have been poured with cold water, and most of them were extinguished in an instant, leaving only smoke.
Qin Beiyang, who came slowly, carefully observed the wall - it was not an ancient tomb, it was made of foreign gray materials. Step by step, there was a wide underground palace in front of me, dozens of torches lit, and noisy Russian was spoken.
Wolfna shouted: "Peter! ”
She was calling Ivanov's name, and the White Russians turned back in a panic, and the Beiyang Army had fired the first shot.
Qin Beiyang dragged her to lie down, and Xiaojun Wang and Lao Jin also fell to the ground, and ordered Jiuse not to transform. There was already a rain of bullets overhead, the eardrums were almost shattered by the gunshots, there were screams of being shot everywhere, blood droplets splashed on the head, and the underground palace became a slaughterhouse on earth......
The real killing was short-lived, and in less than a minute, the fire was lit again, and a white flag had been erected on the opposite side. There were corpses strewn on the ground, and Ivanov was miraculously unscathed, but more than half of his White Russians had lost more than half of them, and only about twenty men remained, and many of them were left with color. The Chinese soldiers disarmed them and tied them up.
"Katya."
Ivanov called out Wolfna's name, but she furrowed her eyebrows and didn't want to come any closer.
Qin Beiyang felt strange and saw a huge lead-skin coffin, which resembled the coffin of China's emperors. The soldiers pried open the coffin board and shone it down with the light of the fire, only to find that there were no bodies at all.
The coffin is not only empty, but also a deep rectangular well, and I don't know where it leads to hell? The torches were thrown in, illuminating the larger cavern below.
"Where's the gold?"
The regiment commander slapped Ivanov twice and asked questions in Russian, the border guards had been dealing with the Russians for a long time and also learned simple Russian.
The White Russian colonel spat out a mouthful of blood, sneered and said: "It turns out that you are also robbers. ”
Qin Beiyang was shocked into a cold sweat at dusk, and the regiment commander ordered to lower the soft ladder into the coffin, and the large group of people entered the deep well, leaving only a few people here to guard the prisoners.
The little king asked in confusion: "What do they mean by gold?" ”
Now, Qin Beiyang simply told the secret.
"Katya, I met a man in a white naval uniform in Siberia, on the shores of Lake Baikal, who on his deathbed said a string of names - Pzhvarsky...... Katerina...... Andreyevna ...... Wolfna......"
Katerina Andreyevna Wolfna's lips trembled: "You came with me on purpose, right?" ”
"Yes, Katya."
Wolfna immediately slapped Qin Beiyang: "Shameless." ”
After all these years of wind and frost, he became rough and thick-skinned, and stood motionless: "You are Kolchak's lover, right?" He won't remember your name until he dies. ”
Přewalski ...... Katerina...... Andreyevna ...... Wolfna ......
And before her name, it was the owner of this tomb, the great Russian explorer Pzhevalsky.
"Well, I'll admit it. In Siberia, I took my poor son with me, helpless. I got to know General Kolchak, and I read in the face that I was Baroness Wolf, and he helped us mother and son a lot. In order to repay his affection, and for my son and I to survive in troubled times, I became the admiral's lover. ”
"So, you know the secret of five hundred tons of Tsarist gold."
Wolfna bit her lip, not knowing what to answer? Ivanov, who was tied with ropes, shouted: "I answer instead of Katya!" Tsarist Russia's 500 tons of gold reserves were in the hands of the admirals, and seeing that White Russia was about to fail, he ordered the gold to be secretly transported to Central Asia. He knew that on the other side of the Trans-Siberian Railway, there were the Japanese and the Czechoslovak Legion, all of whom were greedy jackals, tigers and leopards, who had long coveted this priceless treasure. ”
"But no one would think of going to Central Asia, let alone the tomb of Pzhevavalsky on the shores of Issyk-Kul that is deserted."
"Yes, the admiral was also an explorer in his youth, and once crossed the North Pole. He knew that there was a cave in Pzhevalsky's tomb, and it was said that it was protected by the devil, and it was safest to hide the gold here. ”
"Only the two of you know the secret, so we hooked up."
Qin Beiyang pointed to Ivanov and Wolfna's noses at the same time, and sincerely felt sad for Wolf.
The white Russian beauty lowered her head and sobbed, sat down beside the coffin in shame, and covered her face: "I'm sorry, Qin." But I'm not interested in gold. My child, after the death of Koncestantin, I became a walking corpse, like duckweed drifting with the tide, the falling feathers of geese......"
Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire came from under the coffin......
In the deep well cave with a glittering light, the sound of gunfire was like the sound of firecrackers. Qin Beiyang decided to take a look and climbed down the soft ladder. Then came the little king and the old king, and Wolfna followed.
Qin Beiyang stepped on the floor tiles and entered the underground palace under the coffin. There was chaos ahead, gunfire and shouts everywhere, the light of the fire flickered on and off, and stray bullets flew overhead from time to time.
He drew his crossbow, pressed Wolfna's back, and let the group lie down again. The nine colors grew snow-white antlers and bronze scale armor, transforming into a young Qilin Town Tomb Beast.
The ghostly light and shadow floated, and between the gaps between flesh and limbs, he saw the monster's face......
