Chapter XXVIII

The old man laughed when he heard my words, then turned to me and said, "It seems that my brother is also a cheerful person, and the old man really needs your help." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

I thought to myself that this old man really didn't surprise me, and really had his own little abacus, no wonder he let us go and then treated the fat man. Now several of us are trapped here, this old man said that we should help, but it is obvious that it is coercion, not to mention anything else, this fat man is now very seriously injured, and it is very likely that his life will not be saved without treatment, if the old man takes the fat man's life as a bargaining chip, no matter what he asks us to do, we can only agree, there is no room for bargaining.

"Tell me, what's there for us to do?" I asked.

The old man got up and walked thoughtfully in the big tent for a while, and then stood there with a sigh: "You all already know, I, Li Shanchang, am the prime minister of King Wu, in charge of material finance, in recent years, King Wu has conquered the west station in order to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, so he has raised hundreds of thousands of soldiers, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, but the king of Wu has always been strict in military discipline, and it is expressly forbidden to loot the people's property." And it takes a lot of money to feed so many people, so King Wu often asks me for military salaries, but I really can't come up with that much money, which has always made me very difficult. ”

Ah Ning glanced at the old man, his eyes were full of disdain: "What does your lack of money have to do with us?" ”

The old man stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha, this girl is calm and don't be impatient, listen to me after I finish speaking." The army needs money, and I can't come up with the money, so I tried all kinds of ways to prepare military salaries, but the effect is not very good, which has become a piece of my heart, but after meeting you, I suddenly remembered a way, this method can not only loot the people, but also do not need to spend too long time, as long as you cooperate, we can get the military salary at our fingertips. ”

I listened to what the old man said, and I was puzzled for a moment, and hurriedly asked the old man, "What way?" We don't know how to turn stones into gold, so how can we get you money? You think too highly of us, we are just ordinary people. ”

The old man laughed, and then stared at me with his small eyes: "Little brother, you are not ordinary people, since Wang De told me that you came out of the ground, and you still have a pile of white bones, I know your identity, in the jargon of your industry, you are a Tufuzi, if you are a tomb robber in the words of the common people." Am I right? ”

"Old man, we are explorers, not tomb robbers, are you mistaken?" A-Ning seemed to be a little angry, no matter what kind of thief it was, no one would be happy to let others say that he was a thief, and A-Ning's reaction was normal.

I pulled A-Ning's sleeve with my hand and motioned for her to stop talking, and I thought to myself, did this old man want us to rob the grave? In ancient China, thick burials were popular, and there was a sense of death as life, so the ancients would often have amazing treasures in the graves after their deaths, and I asked the old man, "Do you want us to use the gold, silver and jewelry in the tombs as your military salary?" ”

After I finished speaking, the old man was startled at first, and then pretended to be calm: "Little brother is really a cheerful person, that's right, my idea is this, you may all know that there is often a huge amount of wealth in ancient tombs, especially the tombs of princes and generals in the past, just open one can be enough for a year's expenses of our army, so I thought of this method." This method was not created by me, in the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao set up a gold captain in the army in order to prepare for military salaries, specifically for Cao Cao to dig graves and steal treasures, I Li Shanchang also learned from it. I have decided to reinstate the position of Captain Touching Jin in the army, and you will be the commander, little brother, what do you think? ”

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at me with wide eyes, which made me feel very uncomfortable, I was a little resistant to his method in my heart, not to mention anything else, tomb robbery is a crime, the law prohibits it, and what other things like military salaries, what is this, but at this time, my A-Ning and Yang Zhi are under the control of others, and I have no other choice, so I can only promise him before making plans.

"Well, I promise you, but I will listen to me in everything concerning the robbery of the tomb, and I ask that you serve us well and heal my companions." I said to the old man, I originally wanted the old man to help us find the escaped old Wu and Qiangzi, but I thought that the old Wu and Qiangzi might come to save us after they ran away, even if the old Wu and Qiangzi didn't come, at least it would be better than all six of us falling into the hands of this group, so I didn't tell the old man about it.

"Brother Xiao Jiang, you..." A-Ning was about to say something, I quickly signaled her not to speak, I knew what A-Ning wanted to say, but in order for us to save our lives temporarily, in order to save the fat man, I could promise him first. Only by agreeing to him can we have a chance to get out of here, and only by getting out of here can we have a chance to think of a way.

The old man was very happy to hear my words, and came over to pull me: "Since Brother Song has agreed, then we will be our own people from now on." ”

The old man turned his head and shouted outside the big tent: "Come, hurry up and prepare a banquet, I want to entertain a few distinguished guests." ”

Then a group of sergeants set up a banquet in the big tent, and the old man at the banquet was very happy, and he raised his wine glass to us: "This is a camp, there is nothing to eat, so I will be wronged by you, and I will do it first as a respect." ”

After speaking, the old man drank it all, and after drinking the wine, the old man saw that we didn't move his chopsticks, and looked at us suspiciously: "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot!" ”

"Okay, Aning, Yang Zhi, we haven't eaten anything on the ground for a long time, hurry up and eat some!" I said to Ah Ning and Yang Zhi, the two of them kept staring at the food on the table and swallowed their saliva, and it seemed that they couldn't stand it anymore. When we were in the Xuanming Shrine, we could only eat some compressed biscuits and the like, and suddenly faced with such a sumptuous meal, how could we stand it, after listening to me, Ah Ning and Yang Zhi hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and devoured them.

I took a few bites of food and took a sip, but when the wine entered my mouth, I suddenly found that the liquor here seemed to be a little turbid, but it was very fragrant, very different from the liquor I drank in the past, and the taste of this liquor was not very spicy, and the alcohol content did not seem to be very high. I sipped the wine in my mouth, thinking to myself that not only were people dressed differently than us, but even the drinks had changed.

"We know each other, the old man doesn't know the names of several people, where are the people, little brother, why don't you introduce the old man!" Old Wu looked at me and said.

I nodded and then pointed to Ah Ning and introduced Yang Zhi: "My name is Song Xiaojiang, this girl's name is Ah Ning, the one next to me is my senior brother named Yang Zhi, and the fat man who was injured by your men is called Li Dajiao." We are all from Shandong. ”

"Shandong? Where is Shandong? The old man asked, looking at me with a puzzled expression.

Looking at the old man's puzzlement, all the questions in my heart also surfaced again, I asked the old man while eating a meal: "I said Master Li, I have always been curious about one thing, we obviously entered the underground in 2015 to explore, but how did everything change after coming out, why has it now become the most positive in your mouth for twenty-four years?" We're all on our own now, and I feel like you need to be honest with me, what the hell is going on, who are you? ”

The old man put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at me with a serious face, and said: "I don't know what year 2015 you are talking about, but I didn't lie to you, it is now the twenty-fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, and we are indeed the subordinates of Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu." ”

Ah Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard the old man's words, then turned his head to look at me and said, "Brother Xiaojiang, are we really crossing over?" Could it be that the era we are living in now is really the Yuan Dynasty? ”

"I can't believe it, but what happened makes me have to believe these things." I said helplessly, yes, who can accept a normal person who suddenly faces all the changes.

A-Ning shook his head desperately, shaking his head and saying, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." ”

Yang Zhi also seemed to be puzzled, the old man looked at the three of us and hurriedly said: "Don't believe it, it's indeed the twenty-fourth year of Zhizheng, if you don't believe it, you can go out and find someone to ask casually after eating, I don't need to lie to you on this issue." ”

After the meal, the old man took us to see the fat man, the fat man arranged in a big tent, and someone was waiting next to him, giving him medicine and feeding, but the fat man was still unconscious at this time, and I was heartbroken to see the fat man lying quietly on the bed. After spending some time in the fat man's tent, it was getting dark, and the three of us were placed in another tent, and the old man sent two sergeants to protect us, in fact, we knew that they were here to protect us, but in fact they were here to monitor us and prevent us from escaping.

In the big tent, I sat on the bed with A Ning and Yang Zhi and fell into deep thought, thinking about the things before and after, and after a long time, A Ning opened his mouth and said to me: "Brother Xiao Jiang, is your old man's words credible?" He said that it was the Yuan Dynasty, how could this be possible? ”

"I really can't think of the need for the old man to lie to me about this." I replied to A-Ning with my cheeks.

"Could it be that the tadpole on the wall of the Xuanmen Divine Palace says that the Xuanming Divine Palace is the center of the two worlds, could it be that you can travel through time and space through the Netherworld Tunnel and the Nai River?" A-Ning said thoughtfully.

Hearing Aning's words, I remembered all kinds of strange things that happened in the cave, is there really a time and space tunnel through time and space in this world? Could it be that we are really in the Yuan Dynasty?

Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and ran outside the tent, facing the two soldiers who were watching us: "Do you know the People's Republic of China? ”

The two soldiers seemed puzzled after listening to my questioning, and kept scratching their hair and looked at me curiously, saying, "I said buddy, you are sick!" ”

"What year is it? Where is this? I continued.

One of the soldiers smiled and said: "It's the twenty-fourth year of Zhizheng, this is Ying Tianfu, I said big brother, don't ask this kind of question that children know!" ”

The other soldier said disdainfully: "Ignore him, I feel that this person is crazy, and I don't know what Lord Li is doing with these people." ”

After the soldier finished speaking, he ignored me, I walked back to the big tent in disappointment, Ah Ning and Yang Zhi looked at me expectantly, Ah Ning asked me, "Brother Xiao Jiang, how is it?" ”

I sat back on the bed, looked at Ah Ning and Yang Zhi and said, "It seems that the old man didn't lie to us, we are indeed in the Yuan Dynasty." ”
