Chapter 19: Concubine Xiang

Qi Yuanshan had been hiding in the mountains behind Tanglin for a day and a night.

He didn't know why Ah Hai wanted to let him escape? Maybe because of Zhongshan? Maybe there is another intention? Want to get away with it? In any case, this reunion with his younger brother Zhongshan, who has been separated for more than ten years, is a big gain in a desperate situation.

There is no way to escape from Qiyuan Mountain, and the only safe mountain is the mountain. When he was extremely thirsty, he happened to find a mountain spring to renew his life. In the afternoon, he heard a rumbling explosion from the bottom of the mountain. Needless to say, Sun Hezi began to dig graves.

He came to the halfway up the mountain, looked down condescendingly, and saw that directly above the treasure top of Emperor Qianlong, a big gap was opened. There were also two men and a woman guarding the cave. But judging by their clothing, they are not tomb robbers.

Qi Yuanshan rubbed his eyes again, and was shocked to realize that the woman was very familiar, wasn't it Ouyang Anna?

I never thought that at the foot of the Great Wall, in the mausoleum of Emperor Qianlong, I would see my wife.

How did Anna get here?

There are two other people, Qi Yuanshan also recognized them - the little county king of Ordos Doro and the famous detective Ye Kenan in the capital, they gathered in front of the robbery cave with Anna, and Inspector Ye also put his ear to the robbery cave, it seems that there are other people below?

A patrol of warlords circled the top of the treasure and was about to climb up from the side. Qi Yuanshan knew the danger, but he couldn't shout loudly, for fear of attracting more soldiers. In a hurry, he picked up a small stone and smashed it into the thief hole directly above the treasure top. Qi Yuanshan is a sharpshooter, and he is also very accurate in throwing stones, and he hits the back of the head of the little county king impartially.

This reminder was crucial, Ye Kenan noticed that the patrol was about to come up, and he dragged Anna and the little prince to climb down the roof, and under the cover of the walls and trees, he avoided the sight of the soldiers. The three of them broke into another mausoleum next door, almost in ruins. Qi Yuanshan wanted to catch up and protect Anna, but unfortunately another group of soldiers passed by the mausoleum wall. Ouyang Anna was lucky, her front and back feet passed by, and she would be discovered a few seconds later.

At this time, the top of the Qianling Emperor's treasure was empty. The soldiers all gathered at the entrance of the tomb below, and something seemed to have happened?

Qi Yuanshan evaded the patrol, boldly jumped down the hillside, and climbed to the crescent moon city and the treasure top. He wanted to see what treasures were in the thief cave surrounded by Anna, Ye Kenan, and the little county king just now?

It was a fresh hole, and there were traces of some kind of hard object being excavated, and there was a sound of talking from underneath, as if someone was shouting for help. It just so happened that there were ropes on top of the treasure that had been discarded by the sappers. Qi Yuanshan grabbed one end, and threw the other end down, just like fishing, he actually caught Qin Beiyang and Li Longsheng, the two heavy rains.

There are also nine colors.

Back in broad daylight, the young Kirin Town Tomb Beast turned into a large dog with a gray-white coat and a red mane. Qin Beiyang looked at Qi Yuanshan's face stupidly, afraid that he was sighing in his heart for the magic of fate. They remembered each other's faces, even if they turned to dry bones and burned to ashes.

Suddenly, Qin Beiyang grabbed Qi Yuanshan's arm and asked, "What about Anna?" ”

Anna in Concubine Xiang's underground palace.

Ten minutes ago, Ye Kenan, Xiaojunwang, and Ouyang Anna encountered soldiers patrolling, and they were forced to give up the robbery cave and flee in a panic, but they smelled a strange fragrance. In the past few years of her husband and children in Guangzhou, she has learned the way of incense in her spare time, and she can distinguish different incense raw materials, but I don't know what the different fragrance is at this moment? Anna followed the scent and climbed over the wall to the mausoleum next door.

Different from the emperor's mausoleum, in addition to a big treasure top, two small treasure tops, there are also more than 30 small treasure tops neatly distributed, just like the Tallinn of Buddhist temples.

The tomb was also looted by the robbers of the tomb, and many of the treasures were blown open and dug up. It seems that the warlords have returned with a full load, and the ground is covered with broken bricks, wood, and porcelain pieces. They are like a swarm of locusts that destroy one crop and the next.

Anna searched among dozens of small treasure domes, and when she walked to the first row at the east end, she had completely exposed the entrance to the tombβ€”from which the strange incense came from.

It stands to reason that the ancient tomb will only emit a rancid smell, so why is it smelly? Is it a preservative spice? But it smelled of a living person.

Anna couldn't help but break into the dungeon, and Ye Kenan was by her side to protect her. It is said that only the emperor could use tomb beasts in the tombs of the Qing Dynasty - the Empress Dowager Cixi was an exception, and there would be no tomb beasts in these small treasure top tombs.

The tomb passage is very short, the door of the tomb has long been blown open, there is a small underground palace inside, the coffin board has also been broken by the tomb robbers, and there are worthless burial goods such as beads scattered on the ground. The refreshing fragrance emanated from the coffin.

The little king also felt the novelty, there was no filth and rancid smell here, as if he was in a valley full of flowers, and a few butterflies flew in.

Ye Kenan found the epitaph in the corner of the underground palace, took out a flashlight and looked at it carefully: "She is Concubine Xiang!" ”

"Concubine Xiang?"

Ouyang Anna was quite surprised, but this strange fragrance was probably from the owner of the tomb in the coffin.

"Concubine Xiang - it is Emperor Qianlong's concubine." Ye Kenan looked at the epitaph and said, "Concubine Rong is the Hezhuo family, and she lives in Yaerqiang." In the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, after the pacification of Xinjiang, Concubine Rong's relatives were summoned to Beijing, made officials and knights, and settled in Huiziying. Concubine Rong was sent to the palace and canonized as a nobleman. Emperor Qianlong favored Concubine Rong, invited a Huimin cook for her, built a Baoyue for her in Zhongnanhai, and you can see the Huizi camp across Chang'an Street when you climb the building. ”

"This Baoyue hug is now Xinhuamen." Xiaojunwang interjected, "Yuan Shikai changed it into the gate of the presidential palace, and I often go in and out of this gate, it turned out that Lord Qianlong made it for Concubine Xiang." ”

Concubine Rong was favored by Qianlong in her life, and died in the Old Summer Palace at the age of 55 and was buried in the Yuling Concubine Garden. Legend has it that Concubine Rong was born with a different fragrance, but I didn't expect that the dark fragrance still exists. Ye Ke said dejectedly, "It's a pity that I was still harassed by this group of warlord tomb robbers. ”

The little king scratched his ears and cheeks and said: "It seems that they are going to dig every tomb in Tangling, it's ruthless!" ”

Suddenly, a man's voice sounded outside the entrance of the tomb: "Anna! ”

This shout shocked the little prince and almost broke his heart, this was not Qin Beiyang's voice, but another man.

Ouyang Anna was surprised for a while, palpitated again, and rushed out in a panic. In the sunlight outside the dome, three men stood side by side, with nine colors dressed as mastiffs in front of them.

Ouyang Anna saw Qin Beiyang and Li Longsheng, and also saw her husband.

"Far Mountains?"

"Anna."

Qi Yuanshan straightened his chest and approached his wife, but he didn't stretch out his hand or hug him, but kept a distance of one foot, seemingly respectful of each other, but in fact, he stayed away.

Qin Beiyang touched the head of the tomb beast in the town and said, "It was Jiuse who brought us here to find you. ”

Everyone gathered, and it was too late to describe their experiences, Ye Kenan said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to protect the royal mausoleum, not to clear the house, but to China. We can't afford to protect the tomb of Emperor Qianlong, so let's go and see the Empress Dowager Cixi. ”

"Eighty percent has been turned over, right? We came a day late, and I'm afraid we're going to come back in vain. The little county king said indignantly, "Is it tolerable or unbearable!" ”

More than 200 years ago, Ordos was almost captured by the Dzungar Khan Galdan, but fortunately, the Kangxi Emperor personally drove the expedition and defeated the rebellious ministers and thieves to keep the hereditary territory of the county king. As a Mongol prince, the great-grandfather of Timur, the king of Xiaojun, followed the Qianlong Emperor's westward expeditionary army, all the way to the Ili steppe, north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and accepted the submission of the great chieftain of Afghanistan in the Pamir Plateau. The two emperors Kangxi and Qianlong were buried in this Dongling, and they were insulted by the warlords, and the little county king felt ashamed of his ancestors.

Qin Beiyang said: "No matter what, go and say hello to the Empress Dowager Cixi." ”
