Mo Wenxue said so much, and everyone finally understood that the 'dragon bone' was the snake bone of the white snake that Emperor Gaozu had beheaded back then.

Zhang Zhaozhen looked at the room full of nephews and grandchildren, all of them with suspicious faces. yes, is that true? How does it sound like storytelling?

Emperor Gaozu slashed the snake and rebelled, did he really kill the white snake?

Left snake bones behind?

Ancestor Zhang Budo secretly buried the 'dragon bone', as a descendant of the branch, how come he has never heard of it in four hundred years?

The 'Iron Boat Gang' is far away on the southeast coast, thousands of miles away, how can Wang Jianfeng know about it? Even if there really are snake bones, buried in the ground for hundreds of years, I am afraid that they will rot long ago, so what is the use of robbing this?

These questions troubled everyone present, including Cao Cao.

But the well-known Mo Daxia is really right in front of him, and his husband and wife will never be idle and bored, and they will come all the way to Qinghe to have fun! What's more, the brother Mo Wentian was seriously injured and almost died.

Qin Hongyi asked her husband to sit down and take a sip of tea, slowly walked in front of Cao Cao, and said softly: "I have a word, may I ask Shaoxia." “

Cao Cao hurriedly got up: "Senior, please speak." ”

Qin Hongyi's voice gradually rose up, overshadowing the whispers in the room, "Cao Shaoxia, no matter whether the Son of Heaven Sword in your hand is true or not, if you blatantly bring it to your side, it will definitely bring unnecessary trouble to Shaoxia." ”

Everyone was puzzled, and their eyes looked at Cao Cao in unison.

"May I ask Shaoxia, from the imperial court to the martial arts, why do you want to grab the sword of the Son of Heaven?"

"Just because it is a relic of Gaozu, it is said that it can change the fortunes of the Han Dynasty. ”

"So, since the young man has obtained the sword, what are he going to do with it?"

"The younger generation was entrusted by the abbot of the White Horse Temple, and came to Woniu Mountain to get the sword, and today fortunately did not disgrace his life, so he naturally went to the capital and handed it over to the old abbot to deal with. ”

"I'm afraid that Shaoxia won't be able to get to the capital at all. The Sword of Heaven represents Emperor Gaozu, whether it is a holy weapon or a pile of rotten iron, anyone who has a plan can use it to make a big fuss. ”

Cao Cao secretly admired this heroine in his heart, Dong Zhuo, Zhang Jiao and others had ill intentions and bad intentions, once they got the Sword of the Son of Heaven, they could stand on the 'commanding heights'.

At the same time, she was secretly grateful that she and her husband had woken up for themselves. Because Dong Zhuo, Zhang Jiao and others worked hard and mobilized the people, but they got nothing, and they will definitely not give up.

Since the Sword of Heaven was 'born', it will inevitably attract more ghosts.

Everyone suddenly realized that there was no problem with the 'Son of Heaven Sword', and the problem was 'people'.

Qin Hongyi continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, Emperor Gaozu's achievements did not rely on 'cutting snakes', and Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne did not rely on a snake bone. ”

"Wang Mang is dead, it will inevitably be stinking for 10,000 years, if Wang Jianfeng plays his banner, it will be difficult to succeed, so get the 'dragon bone', pretending to take revenge on the white snake, naturally you can take advantage of the chaos in the world and take advantage of the fire to rob. ”

Zhang Wenjing said: "The heroine is reasonable. Regardless of whether I have a 'dragon's bone' in Qinghe, it seems that the 'Iron Boat Gang' will come to intrude, so I think it is better to prepare early. ”

Zhang Zhaozhen said: "The passing year is unfavorable, at this eventful time, my Zhang family is really a disaster, how to deal with it, please see me." “

After the catastrophe of the Son of Heaven's sword, almost all the people of the Zhang clan in Qinghe City who knew some kung fu died in the ancestral hall, and Zhang Liao's Woniu Villa was attacked by Zhang Bao, and there was not much left. As for Zhang Jiao, although he is a descendant of the Zhang family, asking him for help is tantamount to not getting rid of the evil tiger and recruiting jackals.

As disciples of the Mo family, it is incumbent on them to help others solve their difficulties, and since they have come from afar to tell them, they will inevitably stay to help resist the enemy.

In this case, Cao Cao and others naturally couldn't stand idly by.

"I wonder how many people from the 'Iron Boat Gang' are coming?" Cao Cao asked a key question.

Mo Wentian, who had been silent for a long time, replied: "The leader is the two deputy gang leaders of the 'Iron Boat Gang', one is called Wu Dongyou, and the other is called Yue Xihong, both of whom are the top masters of Wu Yue, and the knife in my chest is due to Wu Dongyou." ”

"Have they already left?"

"They are on the waterway, which should not be much slower than us, and they can get to Qinghe in three to five days. ”

That is, there is still time to prepare.

"The 'Iron Boat Gang' is far away in Wuyue, and they shouldn't be very familiar with Qinghe, should we go to ambush outside the city?" someone proposed.

"We don't know how many people there are on the other side, when the time will come, and where they will enter the city from. Someone immediately refuted.

"Since the 'Iron Boat Gang' is after Wang Mang, it is better to report to the governor's office, and there are officers and soldiers to help in the war, so that the thieves will not come back. "Someone else proposed.

"Kong Taishou's death, our Zhang family has not escaped suspicion, how can the government be willing to send troops?" was immediately refuted.

Everyone talked and talked a lot, but they couldn't come up with a good idea.

"May I ask the seniors, does the 'Iron Boat Gang' know that the news has been leaked?" Cao Cao asked another key question.

The Mohs cast approving glances at him.

"Surely not. I was stabbed by Wu Dongyou, and I was so badly injured that I passed out in a coma, and they thought I was dead, so I was thrown into the river. Hmph, they must have thought that Mo Wentian had already fed the fish and turtles. ”

Since the 'Iron Boat Gang' believes that the secret has not been revealed, they must come.

"So, will they definitely enter the city?" Cao Cao then asked.

"If you don't enter the city, why are the 'Iron Boat Gang' here?" As soon as the man finished speaking, Zhang Liao picked up and said: "What Brother Cao means is that whether they enter the city or not depends on whether the 'dragon bone' is buried in the city. ”

The two became more and more tacitly understanding, Cao Cao nodded, and said to him: "The 'Iron Boat Gang' has no grievances with the Zhang family, their goal is only the 'dragon bone', listen to Mo Daxia, the 'dragon bone' is originally an evil thing, do you think Zhang Budo's predecessors will bury it in Qinghe City?"

Mo Wenxue praised: "The young man is very smart, and he gets to the point every time." If the Dragon's Bone is not in the city, even if we set up thousands of troops, it will be in vain. ”

Qin Hongyi analyzed: "The Sword of Heaven represents Emperor Gaozu, so it is estimated that the 'Dragon Bone' will not be buried in Woniu Mountain. “

Zhang Zhaozhen said to himself: "It's not in Woniu Mountain, it's not in Qinghe City, is it....?" He suddenly opened his eyes wide, his mouth opened wide, and he looked at Zhang Wenjing beside him.

"Ganling Mountain?" the two of them said the name together.

Ganling Mountain is located in the north of Qinghe City, and Woniu Mountain is invited by the Qingshui River, but compared with Woniu Mountain, it is obviously too short. It is called Ganling Mountain, but it is actually a hill, and there are no crops on the mountain, and large areas of forests are planted everywhere.

The most important point is that the mountain is the cemetery of the Zhang family. All the descendants of the Zhang family in Qinghe City are buried on it.

The name of Ganling Mountain, Cao Cao and Zhang Liao are not unfamiliar, a few days ago the old patriarch went to the funeral, and they also went up the mountain with the funeral procession.

Even if he is not a direct descendant of Zhang Liang's family, for example, Zhang Wenjing's branch has nothing to do with Zhang Liang, but he can't write two 'Zhang' characters in one stroke, and he is also buried on Ganling Mountain.

There are also the descendants of the Zhang family on Woniu Mountain, except for the eldest son, who are all buried in Lava Ridge, and the other descendants are also buried in Ganling Mountain after their deaths.

The most important thing is that the mausoleum of Zhang Budo, the ancestor of the Zhang family, is also on Ganling Mountain.

Therefore, if there is really a 'dragon bone', it is very likely to be near the mausoleum of Zhang Budo on the mountain. As soon as the two old men spoke, many people nodded their heads.

"May I ask Mo Daxia, did you hear the 'Iron Boat Gang' mention the burial place of the 'Dragon's Bone' at that time?" Cao Cao asked again.

Yes, how could we not have thought of such a simple question? Many of the people present at the scene were all self-defiled.

Whether it is Woniu Mountain or Ganling Mountain, it is all speculation, if the 'Iron Boat Gang' mentioned it during the discussion, you will know if you ask the sky!

In fact, when Cao Cao's words came out, he also had the answer in his heart, if Mo Wentian heard it, he would have told his brother and sister-in-law along the way, did Qin Nuxia still use speculation.

Sure enough, Mo Wentian replied: "After I was exposed, I was in a hurry to escape, a fight, and then I was stabbed and fell into a coma, and I don't know what they said later." ”

After discussing for a long time, everyone still felt that it was the most likely to be in Ganling Mountain. Without further ado, Mo Daxia felt that it was necessary to inspect the terrain first.

But it's the second half of the day, and I can only go tomorrow.

Fortunately, the mansion of Zhangfuyuan is deep, and there are many side rooms, which are enough to accommodate you.

Early the next morning, everyone had just had breakfast, the old man Zhang Zhaozhen came, the stakes were very high, Zhang Zhaozhen insisted on going up the mountain to lead the way, the old man went best, many things others may not be clear.

Because Mo Wentian was injured, he stayed in the mansion; Xiahou Yuan was also treating eye diseases, so Xiahou Yuan took care of him; Zhang Mei originally wanted to go, but on such a hot day, Cao Cao was a little reluctant, so he asked her to stay and take care of the Son of Heaven Sword, and let the second brother Cao Ren protect her.

As soon as you get out of the city, there is Ganling Mountain in the north, and from a distance, the mountain is not high, but it is lush and green, and there are patches of forests everywhere.

The road up the mountain was rugged and twisted, Zhang Zhaozhen led the way in front, and his two grandsons stepped forward to help, but he also refused, I really didn't expect that the seventy or eighty-year-old man was very strong.

On both sides of the road, in addition to large woods, there are large cemeteries. One here, one there, obviously divided.

Zhang Zhaozhen said as he walked, the ancestors handed down the rules, to whom the cemetery was allocated, whoever had to work and plant trees in this area, so hundreds of years later, Ganling Mountain, which was originally a hilly area, became what it is today.

Cemeteries are arranged according to seniority, and the further up the hill you go, the higher the seniority of the burers. Zhang Budo was the first person to be buried here, so his mausoleum is at the top.

Fortunately, the mountain is not high, and it didn't take long to see the top of the mountain, Zhang Liao suggested taking a little rest, but the old man insisted on refusing, so he went straight to the top of the mountain with all his might.

The trees at the top are even deeper, each tree is at least waist-thick, and it seems that it has grown for a long time, and the weeds under the feet are overgrown, and from time to time small animals hiding in them are frightened and escape.

Because this is the highest place in Ganling Mountain, which means that the highest senior of the Zhang family is buried, ordinary clansmen rarely come here.

The sun was already high, but walking in the woods felt cold, and the hot sweat from the way up the mountain was swept away in an instant.

Because the trees are tall and cover the sky and the sun, it feels eerie to walk in, and if it is three or two people, it is really a little dazed.

Listening to the old man, this is also a 'taboo' place, except for the annual ancestor worship ceremony, no one comes here on weekdays.

Not long after walking, everyone suddenly smelled the aroma of wine, which was fragrant and fragrant, and it went straight to their noses.

But it is obviously the aroma of wine, the further you go, the more intense the aroma of wine, and the smell of wine wafts into the nose, which is simply intoxicating.

Cao Hong was the first to discover something, and hurriedly pointed out to everyone, it turned out that the tall trees on both sides were covered with bright red wild fruits, about the size of plums, and the aroma came from these wild fruits.

Cao Hong is good at light work, and he is about to fly to pick one.

But I heard Zhang Zhaozhen say: "Young man and slow, this is 'intoxicating fruit', if people eat it, they will get drunk, and they will sleep for a day and a night." ”
