P.S. I'm looking for a bunch of fresh flowers to collect.

"Right, what's in Minfeng County?”

"Phew!"

Qin Shi exhaled and said,"

"Precise Ancient City!"

"The one from the Western Regions?"

"Oh, Brother Long, you're amazing!" Qin Shi said as he drove. You know about the Three Kingdoms and have read the Biography of the Western Regions?”

It was Brother Long's turn to be embarrassed.

"I've only heard of it. It seems that Tang Sanzang has also been there.”

"Many ancient records have mentioned this place." Jingjue Country, the king governs Jingjue City. It is 8,820 miles away from Chang 'an. There are 480 households, 3,360 people, and 500 soldiers.

There is a commander, a general, and a post station leader. It is 2,723 li to the north of the capital, and four days to the south of Shulu. It is empty and 460 li to the west.

There was also a record of the Jingjue Kingdom in the Xuanzang Shu and Bian Ji's articles. However, at that time, only the ruins of the capital city were left, and it was called Ni Rang City.

Jingjue Country gradually disappeared from people's sight around the third century AD. Four hundred years after its disappearance, Tang Xuanzang went to India and passed by the ruins of Jingjue Country. He described the situation back then to us.”

As he spoke, Qin Shi recited another paragraph,"From the east of the river into the desert, we traveled more than two hundred miles to the city of Nirang. It was three or four miles in circumference. It was in the middle of a great lake. The water was hot and wet, and it was difficult to walk through. The reeds were wild and lush, and there was no other way. Only the road to the city could pass through. Therefore, people who came and went did not come from this city. Qusadanna was regarded as the pass defense of the eastern border." This was the last record of the Jingjue Kingdom. From then on, the Jingjue Kingdom, one of the 36 kingdoms of the Western Regions, disappeared from the stage of history.”

"Are we looking for good stuff from the ancient Western Regions?”

Brother Long asked, but he immediately denied his guess.

"That's not right! If you say it's more important than the Heirloom Jade Seal, then it definitely isn't a joke in the Western Regions!”

"Of course! Of course, it was the culture of the Central Plains, but it had been passed down here two thousand years ago.”

Brother Long narrowed his eyes.

"Sometimes, I feel that you're a little flustered. You've run thousands of miles to find something. Forget it, I won't ask you why.”

As he spoke, he looked at the mirror above his head. There were equipment behind him.

"Are we going to dig that place up?”

Qin Shi smiled.

"Are you kidding me? Even if we each operate an excavator, we probably won't be able to dig that place out in a few months. It's just one thing. Once we find it, we'll retreat!”

The question in Brother Long's heart had always been: He said that it was a 2,000-year-old item, yet he was only looking for one item. This Qin Shi was either a madman or a god!

However, he had already seen his magic, so he was too lazy to ask. Anyway, it was fine as long as he could not trick him.

There was only one road from Hetian to Minfeng, and there were very few cars!

After traveling for 300 kilometers, the jeep arrived at Minfeng.

He didn't go to refuel. Anyway, there was enough gas in the car. It was better to show up less!

The two of them did not turn on the air conditioner. The temperature was more than 30 degrees and they drove with windows open. Each of them wore a big headscarf and sunglasses to protect themselves from the wind and sand and cover their faces.

According to the military map given by the regiment commander, he turned north and headed straight for the end of the Niya River, which was 160 kilometers north of the county town, and the heart of the Taklamakan Desert!

Two hours later, the sun was still high in the sky. There were no other cars here, and the road conditions were quite bad!

After passing by the last village, the jeep entered the vast Gobi Desert!

This should have been an oasis, but 1800 years had destroyed all the greenery here! Due to climate and geological changes, the riverbed had retreated, and the place had already degenerated into a typical moving sand dune landscape!

Finding a cool cliff root to park the car was not to hide, since there was not even a bird in sight. It was time to do physical labor, change the tires!

It was dry and scorching hot under the sun! If he didn't find a shady place, he would be sweating profusely!

The terrain of moving sand dunes and the Gobi Desert, it would be best to use wide tires!

After a busy day, he was finally done.

There was still some time before the sky turned dark, so the two of them rested for a while.

Brother Long studied the military map and compass for a while. There was a mark of Jingjue Ancient City on it.

"We'll be there in 30 kilometers at most. Ah Nan, why did you come at this time? It's so f * cking hot!”

"Are you afraid of the heat? The temperature in Beijing could reach 39 or 40 degrees in summer.”

As Qin Shi spoke, he suddenly thought of something.

"I forgot that you grew up in the south and served in Xichuan. Those two places are not hot.”

The south was close to the sea, so it was naturally not that hot in summer.

"I have no choice. Actually, as long as it's not the coldest one or two months, it's best to come here in autumn, winter, and spring. However, at that time, we might meet the archeological team. We can't kill them to silence them, right?!”

"Hehe, look at this remote place. It's already a no man's land. What's the big deal about killing a few people?”

She pursed her lips and ignored Brother Long. She stood up and said," Let's go!”

"You're all f * cking crazy about money. Are you really that short of money when you're working with Japanese archaeologists?”

As he drove, he cursed and cursed. Not only was he affected by the desolate environment, but he also thought about how China's number one national treasure would be discovered by the China-R joint expedition team not long later. He was filled with displeasure!

Qin Shi thought of the terms of an inspection agreement for next year. He wanted to curse. The cost of the inspection will be borne by the Japanese side, and all the cultural relics excavated will belong to the Chinese side. The information obtained will be shared between China and Japan. After the inspection, the Japanese side will also provide a certain amount of cultural relics maintenance fees.

You're already so poor, why are you still digging hair!

When Brother Long asked about the situation, Qin Shi told him about the joint archeological team that was going to take place in the near future. This time, Brother Long exploded!

" If we bump into them, all of them will…" He made a snapping gesture!

"Forget it. Someone from the Japanese came in 1979. They definitely didn't have good intentions. Although he didn't know what the Japanese were thinking, the leader of the Japanese seemed to be a good person, so he didn't care.

However, they were all digging graves. Why not let me do it? At least I'm a true descendant of the Yellow Emperor and a citizen of China!”

Qin Shi didn't want to talk too much about the history of archeology. Anyway, he was extremely disgusted by that kind of archeological method! (There are historical records to check. If you are interested, you can go and search.)

In 1979, the ancient city of Niya was discovered by Mark Olaire Stein, an archaeologist, art historian, philologist, and explorer. He was actually a relic robber, and he robbed the ancient city of Niya again in 1996!

Stein robbed a total of 53 abandoned sites twice and excavated 72 wooden slips of Luwen, several wooden slips of Chinese, as well as weapons, musical instruments, woolen fabrics, silk fabrics, furniture, architectural objects, crafts, millet, millet and other food crops.

At the same time, Stein also surveyed the Niya ruins, and the results of his investigation shocked the world.

The news spread. After Stein, the American Hunyington in 1993, the Japanese Ju Rui in 1979, and other international robbers had also raided Niya.

Especially Stein, who had come twice in 1993 and 1996!

After the Liberation, the Frontier Games Museum and other units also organized professional teams to conduct many investigations and rescue clean-up of the Niya site.

The Eastern Han couple's tomb excavated in 1989 was one of the major archaeological discoveries in Xinjiang. Two dried corpses and a number of precious cultural relics were unearthed from the tomb. Among them, the blue dyed cotton scraps and cotton pants were considered the earliest cotton fabrics seen in China so far.

In the year after next, the Cultural Affairs Department of Jiangsai and the relevant academic groups in Japan would also carry out a joint investigation of the Niya Ruins in China and Japan.

In the early part of the 20th century, there were only foreign bandits wreaking havoc. In the later part of the 20th century, there were only those joint archaeological teams in China, but there were no joint archaeological teams in foreign countries. If you have the ability, go out and dig up the things of their ancestors!

It doesn't matter if we don't get it back. We'll just dig it out first and boost our morale! Especially that guy called Guo XX, who wanted to rip his tendons and skin him alive.

I can also investigate the geography, natural conditions, and human history of your place! Not only the current ones, but the ones from thousands of years ago were also investigated clearly!

Not only did Qin Shi understand this, but Brother Long also knew that he was a soldier.

"Qin Shi, how about we do the same when we go overseas in two years?”

"Don't worry, you won't be spared. "In less than two years, when you get that Hong Kong green card, it'll be easier for you to go abroad. Then, you can apply for a few more green cards from other countries. We might have to go to Country Ying. I've found a stake there and I'm going to do something big!”

Although Brother Long didn't understand the exact meaning of this word, he guessed that it should be a certain point, a treasure trove, or a precious ancient tomb.

She didn't ask much. She just needed to bring him along when she went abroad to dig up the things of those foreigners.
