Chapter 311: Looking at Dongshan
Wuya looked at the dense coffins in this hole, stacked with three or four layers, and said indifferently: "It's just right to come, we still lack a cook." ”
The corners of Jiang Yuqing's mouth twitched, and he suddenly remembered that he had seen a small paragraph in his previous life, how could he say it? By the way, "As long as you're bold, Sadako will take maternity leave!" Clearly, these are the bold ones.
Jiang Yuqing knew that they hadn't eaten today, so he took out a few instant noodle cakes from the big bag he was carrying, a bag of dried meat and a bag of pickles and handed them to him: "Let's eat first!" ”
Wuya thanked her, took the dough cake, arranged for the big bolt and the big pillar brothers to boil water and make noodles, and said to Jiang Yuqing: "This place is hidden enough, and no one usually comes, which is more conducive to hiding our whereabouts."
Locals call this the Treasure Cave. In fact, it is the place where the coffins of their ancestors were stored by the Chi people in nearby southern Xinjiang. There are six or seven more caves like this on this Wangdong Mountain.
The Chi people are not like us Central Plains people, who have the concept of entering the earth after death. A lot of the time it's just a matter of finding a cave and putting the coffin inside.
It is said that their ancestors came from the East, and this seems to have the meaning of (no return to the land and no land).
Over the generations, the cave has become what it is now. ”
Jiang Yuqing carefully looked at the coffins full of holes and found that there were various shapes.
From the earliest ship coffins, to the later square coffins, to the round barrel coffins of modern times, there are everything. This is at least a few hundred years apart.
She made a rough estimate, and the number was about six hundred. There are so many coffins, and there is no unpleasant rancid smell, Jiang Yuqing estimates that it may have a lot to do with the ventilation of this cave.
This karst cave is only a few hundred meters long before and after, the entrance of the cave is tall, the north and south are transparent, and there is also a side cave opening.
In addition to good ventilation, the cave is also very dry, with no stalactite water dripping down. So much so that the unopened coffins in the cave are very well preserved.
As for those that have been opened, nine times out of ten they have already been patronized by outlaws. The coffin lid and coffin board were lifted everywhere, and only bare white bones were left inside.
No matter which dynasty or generation, no matter how backward the place, as long as there is a tomb, there will be tomb robbers.
Naturally, there will be no high-ranking officials and nobles in this coffin hole, and tomb robbers with a little skill will not look down on them. Most of this dirty work is done by thieves who can't survive.
This cave is full of rubble, and there is not even a flat ground, these people simply take other people's coffin lids, make bed boards for sleeping at night, and then use them to make dinner tables, this kind of courage is really not ordinary people.
While eating, Wuya told her about the situation here: "This place is very close to the western frontier of Yan.
The king of the western frontier set up a lot of secret posts on the periphery, and it took us a lot of effort to sneak in, and even the invisibility talisman you gave us was used, so I found out that he still has two copper mines in the mountains.
Now, he is forging weapons and preparing for rebellion.
There is another secret, the current prince of Southern Xinjiang is his own son, he was born to the high priest of Southern Xinjiang.
Back then, he and the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang, who later became the High Priest, were a couple.
The current king of Southern Xinjiang also liked the high priest, so he used forceful means to separate them. The king of Xijiang was angry at first, but he was just a concubine at that time, with no power or power, so he had to endure the pain of parting with the high priest.
As soon as the high priest married the king of southern Xinjiang, he found out that he was pregnant, and for the sake of the child, the high priest had to endure the burden of the mattress and obey the king of southern Xinjiang. I plan to count this child on the head of the king of southern Xinjiang.
It just so happened that at that time, the concubine of the king of southern Xinjiang was infertile because she had been married for several years, and her status was challenged, and when the high priest entered the backyard of the king of Xinjiang, she also happened to be pregnant.
In order to ensure that he could give birth to a son and stabilize his position, he hit the idea on the high priest, and asked her for warmth.
The high priest also knew her plans, so after secretly consulting with her, he decided to plan and transfer the two children.
Later, it was logical that the princess of southern Xinjiang and the high priest gave birth on the same day, and the concubine of the king of southern Xinjiang gave birth to a son, but the high priest gave birth to a daughter, who was still stillborn. ”
Jiang Yuqing suddenly realized: "No wonder when I arrived in Wangcheng, the prince of Southern Xinjiang knew that I was the lord of the Heavenly Doctor Valley, but he didn't ask me to detoxify his poisoned father, I felt strange at the time, it turned out that the root was here."
If you can't get it right, this poison is caused by himself. "What is this called, the green hat you grabbed has to be pushed to the end on your knees.
The king of Xijiang must know that the prince of Nanjiang is his own son, but he is still actively building weapons to rebel, instead of pushing the boat down the river to assist his son to become king.
Judging from the reaction of the prince of Southern Xinjiang, he should also know that the king of Western Xinjiang is his father, but he still hopes that Great Xia will send troops to suppress the king of Western Xinjiang.
From this point of view, things are interesting.
Jiang Yuqing carefully brushed up the bloody incident that he didn't dare to play on the stage, and boldly speculated, and came to the following conclusions:
The prince of the king of southern Xinjiang learned about his life story from some source, and got in touch with the king of western Xinjiang for some ulterior purpose.
After a burst of tearful scenes of father and son recognizing each other, the king of Xijiang recognized this son with tears in his eyes.
The king of Xijiang naively thought that after recognizing each other, he would be filial to his father and son, so he joined forces with the prince of Nanjiang to kill the king of Nanjiang. After the deed is completed, the prince of southern Xinjiang will welcome him as the new king of southern Xinjiang.
After the king of southern Xinjiang fell into a coma, the government naturally fell on the head of the prince of southern Xinjiang.
His purpose was not pure, to put it bluntly, he was simply using the king of the Western Frontier. Now that the power is in full swing, it is natural to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
In the face of absolute power, family affection is a fart, they are at best slightly familiar strangers, father and son filial piety, what is that?
Only then did the king of Xijiang realize that this so-called son was just using himself, so he was furious.
He has always been eyeing the throne of southern Xinjiang, and now he is being played by his own son and used as a stepping stone.
In the deep mountains of western Xinjiang, although there are copper mines. But the weapons made of copper ore are far inferior to the weapons made of iron, and once they are on the battlefield, they will naturally suffer a big loss.
Therefore, after accidentally discovering that there was an iron mine underneath the enclosure, he immediately moved his mind.
He had people kidnap the Mo family before, ostensibly to repair the emperor's mausoleum, and he never had any intention of making weapons privately. It's a pity that Jiang Yuqing and his wife were mixed up by mistake.
Later, he sent people to Wanjian Villa to tie up a professional person to build weapons, and he didn't want the people of Wanjian Villa to experience more harm, they couldn't get close at all.
After sorting out the causes and consequences of this, the next thing is much easier.
The prince of Southern Xinjiang wanted to borrow the hand of Great Xia to deal with the king of Western Xinjiang, and after they were both defeated, he would reap the benefits of the fisherman. Jiang Yuqing naturally will not go as he wants.
She took a few people to the camp in southern Xinjiang overnight and found several generals stationed there. talked about the situation that southern Xinjiang is facing.
Several generals were also furious: "Since the royal family of Southern Xinjiang is shameless, it can be simply destroyed." Jiang Yuqing also meant this, so several people got together to discuss a plan......
A few days later, the spies on the periphery of the king of the Western Xinjiang unexpectedly caught an intruder. The intruder was covered in blood, his expression was frightened and sluggish, and he kept shouting: "There are monsters, there are monsters." Quick, help! ”
After saying that, he lost his breath.
From the outfit, it looks like a Taoist priest of Great Xia. This person should have encountered something terrible, got lost and accidentally broke into here.
The spies searched his baggage and found a small notebook, as well as some loose pieces of silver and personal belongings.
This spy recognized Da Xia Wen and found that this person was indeed an old Taoist from Youfang.
He flipped through the booklet and found that it not only recorded the medicinal properties of many cherished herbs, but also many rare birds and beasts, as well as some famous mountains and rivers, and some undiscovered minerals.
In the last few pages, it is recorded that a mountain "looks at the East Mountain, more than 300 miles west of the royal city of southern Xinjiang, and is the burial place of the Chi people." Its stone is red, scraped with porcelain pieces, its marks are also red, and it is rich in iron ore! ”
When the spies saw this, they didn't dare to slack off, so they packed up their things and ran to the mountains overnight, wanting to hand over the book to the king of Xijiang.
After the spies left, the "corpse" suddenly came to life.
Hua Yangzi got up from the ground, patted the ashes on his body, packed up his baggage, and muttered and complained: "This junior is really ignorant, so he took away the broken silver." If you are poor, you have to drink two less meals. ”
At the same time, he scolded Jiang Yuqing: "This little pickpocket, but I just took her two rune papers, and the poor road ran out for almost a hundred miles, and I was caught back to work as a coolie, it was really Jiang Peel, I didn't respect the old at all, it was too much......"
Let's say that after the king of Xijiang got the "travelogue", if he got the treasure, he laughed and said: "God really help me!" ”
So he sent people to Wangdong Mountain overnight.
These people were also ruthless, and when they arrived at the place, in order to save trouble, they directly found a coffin hole, poured oil and set it on fire, and burned people's coffins.
The billowing smoke attracted the attention of the Chi people under the mountain, so they ran up the mountain one after another, and when they saw the burned ancestors and the arrogant people of the king of Xijiang, the eyes of the Chi people instantly turned red.
immediately rushed up and fought with the people of the king of Western Xinjiang, that is, the first major clan in southern Xinjiang, the people of the You tribe.
Hoes, sickles, sticks, and stones are all weapons, and whatever you get, you can greet each other on their heads.
There are many people on the king of the Western Frontier, and the Chi people are not easy to mess with.
If they can't beat it, they will send people down the mountain to shake people, they live close, and the support will come quickly. The battle lasted for a day and a night, and finally ended with the people of the king of the western frontier being completely wiped out and the Chi people also suffering heavy casualties.
From the tongues they caught, the Chi people learned that the reason why they wanted to occupy Wangdong Mountain was because there might be iron ore in this mountain.
The reason why they burned the coffin hole as soon as they came was because it was suitable for camping, and they didn't bother to set up tents again.
The You people led by the king of Xijiang are the first largest ethnic group in southern Xinjiang, and the Chi ethnic group is the second largest ethnic group in southern Xinjiang.
The ancestors of these two nations originally came from the same origin, but for some reasons, there were deep contradictions. It is quite similar to the world of Jiang Yuqing's previous life, the struggle between Shiites and Sunnis in Islam.
Now that such a thing has happened again, the Chi people can be regarded as hating the You people and the royal family of southern Xinjiang. The two clans have formed a mortal enmity.
When the king of Xijiang, who was far away in the mountains, heard the news, he was also furious: "It's just a few coffins that have been burned, and the people of the Chi tribe are so bold that they dare to stop the great cause of this king."
So he sent his "general" to lead "two thousand elite soldiers" to attack the Chi tribe.
Not to be outdone, the Chi people immediately notified all villages and villages, gathered strong people, and formed a temporary "Wangdong Mountain Guard", and the two sides were about to fight to the death at the foot of Wangdong Mountain.
