Chapter 20: The Underground Barracks (II) (Revised Edition)
This is a place where "the rain hits the beach and ten thousand pits".
Wherever the source of the mine light goes, there are no less than 100 dense large and small potholes, some large and some small, some deep and some shallow, and moreover, it is still a big pit and a small pit, and there are pits in the pits.
I put this green human head on the ground, and I found that this is a priceless handicraft, green crystal is rare in the world, and the crystal clear texture is quite shocking for people like us who deal with jade every day.
"What is this?" Liang Jun squeezed up to me and asked.
"It's supposed to be a burial thing, there may be more than one here."
When he heard this, he immediately jumped into the nearest pit with a flashlight, and after a few minutes he climbed up out of breath and shook something in his hand to show me, "Boss, there is a discovery, look at this." ”
I took it and put it on the ground, and after careful inspection, I found that it was a small painted amphora, and there were still some bright colors left on the palm-sized bottle, and I carefully recognized the pattern on it, and suddenly felt that this thing was very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, but I was not impressed.
Kang Yan's brows furrowed, and suddenly she screamed, then looked at me and said, "This, yes, it's Jiang Yuan." ”
I asked her, "What do you mean?" ”
Kang Yan took the amphora and looked at it carefully, and said, "That's right, it's it, this thing is priceless, Jiang Yuan also brought it with him this time, but, how could it appear here." ”
I took the amphora in my hand and looked at it several times, the materials and firing process are very ordinary, the most aged, but its own value is not enough to use the four words priceless.
I asked her, "You said Jiang Yuan had it with you?" He still has a bright weapon with him in the fight? ”
After hearing this, Li Laosi shook his head and said, "No, no, this is not an ordinary Ming vessel, this layer on the outside is the outer skin, and the real thing is breaded inside." ”
Four years ago, a huge private auction was held on the high seas, and at that time, a total of three items were auctioned: the green dragon pattern jade, the throne lotus platform and the Ru kiln celadon Wuzun vase.
A total of 32 buyers attended the auction at the time, and both the first and second lots sold in seven figures in a very short period of time, which is not much different from their own estimates, Ms. Kang said.
When the last item began to be bid, Jiang Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly raised his card and bid at ten times the auction price, everyone was stunned, and some people even suspected that Jiang Yuan was here to stir up the situation, and the people of the auction house also checked the funds brought by Jiang Yuan under the strong request of many buyers.
In the face of unreasonable demands, Jiang Yuan didn't say anything, and the figures released by the auction house after the inventory made some buyers kneel on the spot, and they began to whisper.
The auction continued, and when it was approaching twenty times the starting price of the auction, a woman suddenly began to bid on the phone, and the buyer claimed that he was determined to win, so the price soared, and soon, it became a one-on-one contest between Jiang Yuan and the woman.
At this point, the nature of the auction has also changed, and this is no longer a contest of money between buyers, but the undercurrent of family power behind them.
At that time, Kang Yan was only Jiang Yuan's personal doctor, and this time he came out with him at the secret instruction of Jiang Yuan's father, the atmosphere at that time was very tense, and Kang Yan was also fascinated by Jiang Yuan's momentum, when she went to school abroad, the children of wealthy families saw a lot, but there was never a rich second generation like Jiang Yuan who attracted her attention, so Kang Yan focused all her attention on Jiang Yuan, and because of this, it remembered Jiang Yuan's every move at that auction.
According to her, Jiang Yuan was very calm at that time, he was sitting in his box, looking at the box opposite motionlessly, and suddenly, he smiled and said, "I won." ”
Then he asked the waiter to deliver a note to the bread box, and less than a minute after the note was delivered, the auction was over
When I heard this, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know who was in the van at that time?" Or rather, who is the woman who is bidding on the phone? ”
Kang Yan shook his head and said, "It's not very clear, I only know that after the auction, Jiang Yuan was called into the opposite bread room, and he didn't come out until about ten minutes later. ”
I nodded, and I reserved my doubts about Kang Yan's statement. Anyway, this thing can't be thrown anymore, and I was about to put it in my backpack when Liang Jun suddenly shouted: "Run."
We had just run out of the door for less than two steps, and before we could figure out the direction, we saw countless green fluorescent dots in front of us that were rapidly gathering and constantly moving forward.
The Vietnamese immediately ran in the opposite direction on their backs, and we followed closely, running and running, I felt that my feet were empty, and then the whole person fell straight into a big pit, and as soon as I stood up, I felt a pain in my lower back, and I was kicked down again.
"Who. Your uncle, you want Lao Tzu's life! ”
While scolding, I covered my back and barely got up from the bottom of the pit again, and as soon as I looked up, I saw a person standing in front of me, and before I could see what was going on, I was dragged to the edge of the pit, and when I hid in the dark, I vaguely saw Liang Jun and they were there.
Liang Jun snatched the miner's lamp from my hand and immediately turned it off, in the absolute darkness, I felt my heart beat faster, and at the same time, I also felt a warm breath in my ears.
"You are?" I asked.
"Don't talk, listen carefully."
I listened with my ears pricked up to the movement outside, it was a very neat pace, and the landing was very light, a kind of sound of leather soles rubbing against stone slabs.
"What's the matter," I continued.
"They are the underground guards of this mausoleum, the Red Cloud Iron Rider."
I let out an "oh" and continued: "It is rumored that the Red Cloud Iron Cavalry is the Praetorian Guard of the Zhou City Palace, could it be that the owner of this mausoleum may be a certain king of the Zhou Dynasty?"
"It's not possible, it's fundamental."
I came to my senses at this moment and whispered, "Big-eyed girl, why are you?" ”
Xu Moyan shrugged at me and said, "This matter is a long story, this is the underground barracks of Zhou City, and the green fluorescence you saw just now are all red cloud iron horses, hundreds of thousands, we can't fight, let's leave here first." ”
I hesitated, Xu Moyan broke my hand, wrote the word "rest assured" on my palm, and then took us to sneak at the bottom of the pit, and I found out that these large and small potholes are connected underground.
