Led by the guards at the gate, Xia Jie followed him through the hinterland of the barracks in the desolate mountains, and the patrol soldiers he met along the way had to salute and shout hello to him when they saw him.

This experience also made him feel quite fresh, and at the same time, his disgust and resentment towards O'Connor and others deepened.

These soldiers are all lovely people, willing to sacrifice their youth and lives to defend their families and countries, but in the plot, they were killed and injured by this group of Western barbarians, which is really distressing.

"Sir, it's here!"

This young man, whose face was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, took Xia Jie to General Yang's united front room, and then stood at the door with a serious face and stood guard.

Xia Jie nodded, pushed open the double-opened wooden door with a creak, and strode in.

"Adjutant Xia? There you are! ”

A cold female voice sounded, Xia Jie turned his head to look, this small bluestone brick room, full of strategic maps, military sand tables, two people who were also wearing gray military uniforms, shoulders to resist generals, and big brimmed hats were discussing something at the table.

The woman has a scar from the bridge of her nose to the corner of her mouth, but it can't destroy her overall beauty, and although the man looks a little old, the whole person is full of spirit and looks extremely energetic.

"General Yang! Adjutant Choi! ”

Xia Jie saluted in a decent manner, and it was not difficult for him to deter from the names of the people around him that his identity should be at the same level as Adjutant Cui, and in the face of General Yang, he naturally had to salute.

And the two of them also stood up straight and saluted back, General Yang looked at Xia Jie's tall figure that almost blocked half of the door, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he exclaimed: "What a tiger general, no wonder the high-level officials also deliberately communicated this time, saying that a big help will come to my subordinates, it seems that what they said is really good." ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

Xia Jie didn't know how to answer, anyway, this panacea reply was correct.

"Haha!"

General Yang and Adjutant Cui glanced at each other, and they were both amused by Xia Jie's straightforward answer.

He stretched out his hand and said, "You came overnight last night, and I don't want to disturb your rest, now I have time, come, come and talk." ”

Xia Jie nodded, closed the door with his backhand, walked to the center of the room in two steps, and stood with the two of them.

It wasn't until he approached that General Yang and Adjutant Cui really felt the oppression on each other's bodies, the huge figures of the two of them, coupled with Xia Jie's inner tyrannical aura, it was like a needle stimulating their nerves.

"Sss

General Yang looked up, looked at Xia Jie carefully from head to toe, and couldn't help but gasp.

He has read countless people and led soldiers for many years, and he can see at a glance that Xia Jie's personality is by no means as calm and honest as it seems, whether it is his pair of blazing eyes or the killing intent, it is extremely clear.

What shocked him was not the weak murderous aura of the other party, but Xia Jie's strange mental state, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, and like a fire burning in ice, which made people feel extremely contradictory.

"Adjutant Xia, since you have come to my unit and served as my deputy. I will believe in you unreservedly, and in the same way, you must also trust us, and what will happen next may be beyond your imagination. ”

General Yang stared at Xia Jie's eyes, and his words were very slow, he was watching Xia Jie's reaction to judge whether the other party was a credible person.

Although the fact that his superiors sent him basically showed that he was innocent and trustworthy, General Yang had to keep an extra hand because he trusted his own judgment more.

"Yes! Checkmate! A soldier's duty is to obey. The commander's order is greater than all imagination. ”

Xia Jie replied loudly, and then looked at General Yang intently, his expression was very calm and calm. He meditated in his heart: More than I imagined? Won't you resurrect the Dragon Emperor? My mission will be more than you think, believe it or not?

"Good!"

General Yang saw in Xia Jie's eyes that he was open, fearless, and even a little eager to try, so he also put his mind at ease.

"Our unit has been stationed here for nearly a year, and you must have known something about it before your superiors sent you here, so I won't say much. But then you have to listen to it. ”

"Yes!"

Xia Jie is also upright, he didn't understand before, how could General Yang and the others know about the First Emperor, and they also pinned their hopes on resurrecting the Dragon Emperor to launch a counterattack, now, it should be time to reveal the answer!

General Yang pointed to the map, and Xia Jie looked down, this is a schematic map of the war in China, with blue and red arrows all over the map.

The blue arrows on it are marked with Chinese troops, and the red arrows are encircled from all directions, so you can clearly see how dangerous the current situation is.

"We have been dragged into the quagmire of war, all the coastal exports have been blocked by the Seven-Nation Alliance, and the country's industrial and agricultural industry has long been in ruins, unable to support the end of the war, and may be wiped out."

General Yang's tone was very heavy, and he continued: "A few years ago, before the war began, our embassies abroad sent news from Egypt that an American explorer couple had actually awakened the ancient Egyptian sacrifice and the Demon Scorpion Emperor more than ten years ago. At the time, we didn't care. But now, the war urgently needs to be replenished. The First Emperor may be the last hope for our country! ”

"Emperor Qin seeks immortality, fairy fossil dust, thousand-year-old terracotta warriors, and immortal body for 10,000 years. This well-documented myth, which has been handed down from ancient times to the present, may be our only chance to turn the tables! An opportunity to awaken the First Emperor, plus the tens of millions of undead soldiers of the Qin State under his command to launch a counterattack! ”

Xia Jie raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that in this world, there would be such a mythical story.

Fairy fossil dust? The old witch who said Ziyuan turned the Qin Kingdom into stone and dust, right?!

General Yang pointed his finger to the upper right of the map: "Here, in Ningxia, there is an archaeological team funded by us, which has successfully excavated the tomb of the First Emperor and sent it to the Shanghai Museum, which is now less than thirty kilometers away from our army. ”

"The person who excavated the grave was the descendant of the American couple. Moreover, with the intervention of our Foreign Ministry, the American couple also came here. It is believed that with their ability, they can increase the success rate of awakening the First Emperor. ”

General Yang's tone was stunned, as if he didn't think this was convincing, so he turned his head to look at Adjutant Cui again: "Take it out and let Xiao Xia take a good look." ”

"Yes!"

Adjutant Cui nodded, took out an old file record from the pile of documents next to him, and handed it to Xia Jie.

"What is this?"

Xia Jie reached out and took it suspiciously, his hands were wrapped in a reinforced suit, the color and style were similar to the officer's standard black leather gloves, and no one paid attention to it.

He frowned and flipped through the file, and on the first side were two black and white photographs of young men and women, with their names next to them, the male was Rick O'Connor, and the female was Eve O'Connor. When a Western woman gets married, her surname will be the same as her husband's.

Xia Jie took a few glances and became interested, which recorded the story of O'Connor and Eve in the City of the Dead.

Although he knows what is going on, it is very interesting to watch the plots of other movies from the movies.

General Yang continued; "We went to great lengths to communicate with the U.S. consulate, spent $200 million to buy back the Shangri-La Eye that they had stolen during the war, and asked the American couple to escort them. With the immortal spring in the eyes of the gods, and O'Connor, they will not be able to wake up the First Emperor. ”

"Why does it have to be O'Connor?"

Xia Jie asked puzzled, and he closed the file casually.

General Yang looked sideways and explained, "He is an explorer who has awakened ancient creatures twice, and his wife is extremely knowledgeable about ancient cultures, so in order to prevent accidents in the process of awakening the First Emperor, it is best to have them." ”

"Actually, I can too."

Xia Jie smiled slightly and handed the file back to Adjutant Cui.

"Huh?" General Yang froze, and together with Adjutant Cui, he also took over the file, hovering in the air with one hand, and looked at Xia Jie in surprise.

"Based on the archives just now, I think O'Connor is an adventurer, but he is also a saboteur. The previous Capital of the Dead, and the Tower of the Scorpion Emperor, were all destroyed after he had visited. Although he didn't do it, he was a disaster star, and he was unlucky wherever he went. ”

Xia Jie continued: "As for this woman named Eve, most of her previous archaeological work was related to ancient Egyptian culture. She doesn't necessarily know as much about the history of China as I do, and they are destined to be troublesome when they come here. ”

"You mean, you have experience with that as well? No wonder, your superiors will line you up. ”

General Yang pondered for a moment, and he didn't doubt whether Xia Jie was full of nonsense, because of the other party's military status, General Yang believed that the other party would not say such things to coax him.

"But...... The O'Connor family has already arrived in Shanghai, so they can't send them back, right? ”

Adjutant Cui hesitated, and as a woman, she thought of Xia Jie's shortcomings delicately: "And Adjutant Xia, are you sure that you can wake up the First Emperor?" If something goes wrong and our plans are exposed, it could be devastating. ”

Xia Jie waved his hand and said, "Of course you don't need to send them back, as for whether you can wake up the Dragon Emperor, I'm very sure!" General, I would like to make a military order! ”

"There is no need for the military order, you act with us at night, let me see your ability!"

General Yang raised his hand and pressed it weakly, with a slight smile on his face, at the beginning of the plan, he felt very relieved that his superiors could send such a wise and brave tiger general.

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

Xia Jie saluted again, which was regarded as his acceptance of the task.

……

This day, at the beginning of 1947, is the traditional festival of China, the Spring Festival.

Xia Jie and the soldiers in the full battalion, together with General Yang and Adjutant Cui, spent a day full of joy in the army, which was the most wonderful Spring Festival he had in the past 21 years, and it was also the largest and warmest one.

In the previous years, on this day of national joy, he always watched the live broadcast on his mobile phone silently until dawn, and then cooked a few dumplings and eggs by himself, praying that his Spring Festival would be reunited with his family in the future.
