In autumn, the scenery of the Western Regions is charming, and there are four distinct seasons here. The flowers in spring, melons and fruits in summer, fallen leaves in autumn, and snow in winter are truly beautiful.

My fourth brother and I sat on the train all the way, swaying and enjoying the scenery. It's really beautiful and it's too big. We have passed three or four provinces in this drive south of the Yangtze River, and there is still more than an hour's drive from the next city.

"Oh, you see that mountain over there is really dangerous, do you think there will be an ancient tomb in it?" The fourth brother looked at the rolling mountains in the distance and said to me.

"It is estimated that it is enough, if the ancient tomb is built in the mountains, which in ancient times the level of national strength was very high, population, handicrafts, etc., there were not many countries with such strength in the Western Regions in ancient times, so it can be roughly deduced through historical records, it may be in those general directions, what is the scale, the ancient tomb will not exceed the overall strength of the country at that time, you think, there was no loan mortgage to build the ancient tomb, right?"

The fourth brother looked at the mountains and said, "Look at those mountains are so beautiful, I really want to go over and take a good look in the mountains."

"If you don't have a village or a store in front of you, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to survive here, and in this vast Gobi, how much food and drink, how many utensils, and how many things you have to bring to survive in the mountains. Without a team of extremely professionals, don't even think about it. ”

We looked out the window at the mountains and fell into deep thought. I don't know what the fourth brother is thinking.

I don't feel good about where I'm at the moment. Hua Jianguo is too mysterious. My fourth brother and I have been led by him all the time, and we basically didn't learn anything if we wanted to, all of which were the experience that my fourth brother and I accumulated in actual combat.

I even feel that I and the fourth brother together don't know as much as Liu Xin, not to mention an experienced expert like Lao Li, and now it's really difficult to ride a tiger.

This time, my fourth brother and I were led away by Hua Jianguo again, and we haven't stopped for a while after finishing our work last time, so we came back to work.

It's a terrible feeling to be being manipulated. Isn't the tomb robber no, and the folk archaeological team doesn't need a holiday and doesn't need to adjust?

But this time, we also took a long vacation to visit several sites, look for clues, and report our findings at any time, which is similar to real archaeology.

This matter also starts with a magical history told to us by Hua Jianguo.

That day in Huajian Country, the old thing was watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it happened to be the part where Ma Chao caught Cao Cao. looked at him and asked me and the fourth brother, why do you say Cao Cao can't beat Ma Chao?

"I don't know" The fourth brother is too lazy to talk nonsense, he has been fooled for this kind of routine more than once, and every time he is regarded as a popular science object by me and Hua Jianguo, he is naturally very angry in his heart.

Hua Jianguo said, "Ma Chao has a magic weapon in his hand, he has a foreign legion", which still whetted the appetite of the fourth brother and me.

"Jin Ma Chao has a foreign army in his hand, which is an important reason why Cao Cao, who he can fight in the early stage, was caught off guard."

The original text of the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms recorded: "There are many high-nosed and deep-eyed people in the super army", they are tall and big, with iron horses as mounts and javelins as weapons, and they are brave in battle, with one enemy and ten. According to the book, these people are not from the Central Plains at all. The dust and sand are rolling, the vast Gobi Desert, a slaughter, a big fight is about to begin, this is the last war of the Roman legions, and their commander is not the Romans, but Ma Chao. Don't you wonder why there was a Roman army during the Three Kingdoms? ”

The fourth brother clasped his feet and said, "I can know this, I want to know how to prevent hair loss, these actions are all night work, I have started to lose my hair after staying up late"

Hua Jianguo lifted his glasses and said, "You have kidney deficiency and have to be regulated, where is that, right." In fact, there are two folk legends, one is like this. In Rome's "First Three Heroes", the Sicilian governor Crassus gave up the struggle for emperor and went east to conquer the Second Persian Empire. The Roman army fought deep into the Parthian steppe, facing completely different tactics and different styles of play, which led to the defeat and death of the Crassus army, and the first Roman legion, which was lost after the war, is rumored to have served the Xiongnu and was defeated and captured by the Han army.

The second theory comes from the Western Han Dynasty general Chen Tang, Chen Tang led the cavalry and the Roman expeditionary force stationed in the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions in a battle, the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty inserted into the famous Roman tortoiseshell chain shield heavy infantry phalanx like a spike, capturing nearly 5,000 Roman soldiers, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty received the report of this battle, in order to show the prestige of the Celestial Empire, placed them in the western frontier, allowed them to multiply here, and also required them to be the patriarch of the Han Dynasty. To this day, there are still many descendants of ancient Rome in Gansu Province. ”

"And then? What does this have to do with us? The fourth brother's soul asked.

"Look at this" Hua Jianguo took out a photo, which showed a beautiful European helmet. "This was unearthed in an ancient tomb in Gansu, isn't it amazing"

We look at the photos, this shape of the helmet, it is said that it was unearthed in Europe, it is almost the same, in Gansu is a little interesting.

"This was the discovery of an industry insider a few years ago that shocked the industry at the time."

I was still shocked when I looked at the photos, after all, my dynasty at that time did not collide with Western civilization, and many speculations in later generations were a bit about Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong. If this is true, then the debate over which is stronger and weaker can be put to an end. But what kind of medicine is sold in this old thing's gourd? Is there a set? The routine is so deep, and I don't bother to play Tai Chi with him. To put it bluntly.

"Presumably, what do we need to do this time? The old gentleman might as well say it directly."

Hua Jianguo laughed and said, "This time it is more relaxed, it is equivalent to a public-funded tour, I have all the expenses, this time you are going to the Western Regions, looking for an ancient country site called West Night." Found everything you could bring out your hands and move. ”

"Why this country? We haven't heard of it, it's really a bit too difficult" The fourth brother didn't want to go. There's not even a specific location, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack.

"According to the information I have in my possession, there was a Roman legion that was once entertained by the king in the Western Night Kingdom when it was being pursued by the Turks. With the help of mysterious power, the king of the West Night caused tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops to be lost in the desert, and finally ran out of food and water, and was surrounded and annihilated by the Roman legions. In exchange, the Roman legions left a small number of people behind to help the Night King build the Tomb of the Night King, which was said to never be stolen.

Within a few years, I didn't expect that the King of the Western Night had died, and the power struggle within the small country would soon decline. There are no more records in the history of the entire Western Night Kingdom, and this time I went to look for the traces of the Western Night Kingdom" Hua Jianguo took a sip of tea after saying it in one breath, took out a USB flash drive and continued

"Here is some information I have, you take Liu Xin this time, Lao Li will not go, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the distance between a point is too far. Give you a month, there is a big job in a month, Lao Li has already gone to look for personnel, and when the time comes, Brother Xiao Zhou, you have to do a good job in the team."

I'm not in the mood to talk to him in a month's time, so I'll talk about it in a month! After going home and reading the information in detail, I felt that I remembered almost everything, so we bought train tickets and set off.

I actually wanted to do a plane, when I bought a ticket, I heard another person say, flying to the northwest, the plane is six or seven hours, people are in the seat and potted plants, it is too uncomfortable, or the train is comfortable, although slow, but you can walk around in the car to be active.

So, at the insistence of my fourth brother, we bought two sleeper tickets and started this trip to the northwest.

Taking the train is a good thing, it's not boring along the way, and you can spend a long journey happily, after my fourth brother and I arrived at the destination, Liu Xin had already arrived by plane for two or three days.

I didn't stay long in the hotel, we were under the leadership of four, and we couldn't wait to eat mutton skewers, this mutton skewers can only be eaten here, the meat is delicious, not to mention the slightest taste, the fourth brother ate more than 30 skewers of belly alone.

The owner of the barbecue seller was stunned, "Alas, friend, you can't eat like this, there is no beer, no taste, and it is not moist enough." ”

Under the introduction of the owner, we started to drink, beer. But this beer is a bit strong. According to the amount of alcohol we drink, it is the type that can be drunk. But a few bottles were already shaky.

I drank less, and the burden of sending the two of them back fell on me. I took care of the fourth brother waiting for me in the hall, and helped Liu Xin to go back to the room, Liu Xin leaned on me crookedly, looking at a very thin girl, why is this so heavy. But when she inadvertently leaned against me, smelled the fragrance on her body, and held him tightly with both hands, my heartbeat had already accelerated. Helped Liu Xin into the room, put it on the bed, looked at her figure outlined by jeans, I swallowed my saliva, closed my eyes and hurriedly walked out of the room.

When he arrived in the hall, he pushed the fourth brother back to the room. In the room, I opened my laptop and continued to look at the information given by Hua Jianguo.

Early the next morning, Liu Xin came to knock on the door, I couldn't help blushing when I looked at her figure, Liu Xin shook her long hair, looked at me and said "sick", and then said, "Did Hua Jianguo give you the coordinates?" ”

I looked at the latitude and longitude coordinates on the map and said, "Yes, but how to get to this place, it's all in the desert."

Liu Xin rubbed his head and said, "How to go, I'll go and buy some necessary equipment, and you guys will pack it up." We'll leave tomorrow. I've lived in the desert before, you just have to listen to me. ”

In the afternoon, we started to count the equipment, and I said, why don't you have anything to eat?

Liu Xin said without raising his head, "There is a local scone called naan, each person brings 10, and one person eats one a day a day." We only stayed inside for 15 days."

"And what about the remaining 5 days?" The fourth brother asked curiously.

"Here, eat this" The fourth brother and I looked at it as a vacuum biscuit, and the fourth brother said, "Is this thing anti-hunger?" ”

Liu Xin said, "Don't worry about whether you are hungry or not, you should worry about whether there is water!" ”

The fourth brother was about to ask a question, but Liu Xin interrupted him impatiently and said, "I know that you have a lot of questions, just listen to me when the time comes." Don't worry, I haven't lived enough if you want to die! ”

After finishing speaking, I ignored the fourth brother, I snickered for a while, and I whispered, "You can't do this pickling skill." ”

The fourth brother kicked me at a glance and ignored me.

When it was time to leave the next day, I realized how well prepared the little girl was.

Three modified Cherokee quietly parked at the door of the hotel, and the young man who delivered the car began to introduce, "All lightweight, and with the addition of auxiliary fuel tanks, 3.0 turbocharged diesel engines, the main and auxiliary fuel tanks combined, a tank of oil can run about 1200 kilometers." Do you see the tires, the special front and rear 8 tires, will never get stuck in the car, and there is no problem with the weight of 1.2 tons. "We looked at the three cars in amazement, this guy must be worth a lot of money.

The trailer towed the three cars to the edge of the desert, and after Liu Xin turned on the GPS and entered the coordinates, he said, "You follow my car, we will move at night and rest during the day." If you have any questions, use the walkie-talkie to contact me" After saying that, he got in the car and started to get in the car.

Seeing her outfit and her figure outlined so perfectly, my fourth brother and I both swallowed.
