Chapter 474 Millennium Ancient Bridge
Now the north of the Yangtze River is an area controlled by the Mongols, and there are Mongolian cavalry coming and going everywhere. Wearing Han Chinese clothes can easily arouse the hatred of the Mongols, not to mention three beautiful women.
Nie Pan had an idea and learned the method of escorting funds from the disciples of the Quanzhen faction. He killed several Mongolian soldiers who were alone on the road and stripped off their military uniforms. Nie Pan dressed himself and let Li Mochou, Zhuo Qinglin and Song Xiyan all dressed up as men. Suddenly, all four of them incarnated as Mongolian knights.
Nie Pan also took the Mongolian soldiers' waist cards, vouchers and other messy things on his body in case of emergency. The four people continued to go north to Ningxia. It was really unimpeded all the way, and it took three days to enter Ningxia.
During this period, the scenery of Ningxia is beautiful and the vegetation is continuous. Although it is summer, there is no heat of midsummer at all. Moreover, most of the residents of Ningxia are Hui people, and the Western Xia Dynasty was also conquered by the Mongols early. Compared with the war-torn Central Plains, it is still relatively peaceful.
If you want to find Songzhu Town 800 years later, you need to find Yinchuan City, the capital of Ningxia Autonomous Region 800 years later. Fortunately, Song Xiyan, who graduated from the University of Arts and Sciences, has good history. He knows that Yinchuan City in this period is called Zhongxing Road, so four people inquired all the way and quickly found Yinchuan City 800 years later, which is now. The place of Zhongxing Road.
If you find the current address of Yinchuan City, it is easy to find Songzhu Town. The location of this town is between Yinchuan City and Lingwu City in the southeast direction. It is about 70 kilometers away from Yinchuan and 30 kilometers away from Lingwu. Nie Pan took three beautiful women all the way to find out where Songzhu Town is at this distance.
Lingwu City is called Lingzhou, which is known as the south of the Yangtze River. The four people of Nie Pan quickly found the city. From afar, they were richer and more prosperous than Yinchuan. Nie Pan and others did not enter the city. They just inquired where Songzhu Town was, but no one knew where there was such a place, and passers-by shook their heads one after another.
Fortunately, Nie Pan and Zhuo Qinglin had driven from Songzhu Town to Lingwu County several times before crossing, so the sense of direction was more accurate, so Nie Pan decided not to continue to inquire, which was just futile. It is not certain whether there is Songzhu Town in this era. Even if there is, it will definitely not be called this name. It's better to find it based on your feelings.
Four people drove slowly from Lingzhou City to the northeast. They carefully searched for such a small town along the way. It took half a day to walk 70 or 80 miles. They only saw a few villages along the way. There was no such a small town at all. The four people couldn't help but be a little depressed, so they had to turn back and prepare to go another. I tried a road, but it was blocked by a big river in front of me.
The width of the river is about seven or eight meters. Although the ditch is deep, there is not much water in it. At best, it is just a wider stream. Looking at the river, it seems that it has just been dug for about a hundred years.
By the Ma River, Nie Pan suddenly remembered that there was a wide river to the north of Songzhu Town before crossing. The ditches were very wide, and there were fewer streams in it than now. At that time, he was wondering why the river was so wide and why there were so few streams. Now it seems that most of the river is this big river, especially pine. The majestic bridge in Zhuzhen made Nie Pan even more memorable!
"I remember it, I remember it!" Nie Pan held the rein and shouted excitedly. This feeling of excitement was no less than that of Columbus's discovery of the New World.
Li Mochou and the three of them are worried about how to cross the river, and they are all worried, otherwise they can only return the same way. Suddenly, he heard Nie Pan shouting ecstaticly and came over to ask what was going on. Song Xiyan asked, "Look at your excitement. What do you think of?"
"Haha... You don't even think about it. The place where Li Yuanhao buried his treasure must be in a sparsely populated place. How could he choose a town with many eyes? In that case, it is estimated that in less than three months, the buried treasure will be dug up, so there must be no Songzhu Town in this period, but later this town happened to be built near the treasure. Now we are putting the cart before the horse. Even if we turn the current Ningxia upside down, we will not find it. It's from Songzhu Town. Nie Pan explained proudly that he finally figured out the reason why he couldn't find Songzhu Town.
"Well, that's the truth! But we can't find Songzhu Town, such a large place in Lingzhou. How can we have this underground mausoleum of Li Yuanhao? It is buried deep in the ground. I don't know how many years it took Uncle Nie to find this underground mausoleum. Where do we have time to look for it slowly? Zhuo Qinglin said with a worried face.
Nie Pan said, "Yes, we really don't have time to delay. Not to mention a year and a half, even ten days and a half months can't be delayed. I'm afraid that the treasures here will be dug up by Zhuo Zhiyuan at that time, so we must find this underground mausoleum in one day today!"
"One day?" Song Xiyan and Zhuo Qinglin's eyes widened at the same time, which was simply an impossible task.
"Yes, one day!" Nie Pan said confidently, as if he was planning a strategy and winning a military division for thousands of miles, and his eyes were full of confidence.
"In such a large area, we have no goal at all. How can we find it?" Zhuo Qinglin's face was even more worried.
Nie Pan raised his horse whip to approach the river bank and pointed to the country. He pointed the whip in his hand to the canal in front of him and said, "Do you see this river? Do you remember the bridge in Songzhu Town? I once saw the inscription on the bridge, which was erected by Xia Jingzong and Li Yuanhao. Why did Li Yuanhao build a bridge for no reason? There must be a mystery in it! Maybe this river was dug by Li Yuanhao, and the bridge on the river was also built by Li Yuanhao, and all of this is probably related to the underground mausoleum where the treasure is buried. We walk along this river. As long as we find this bridge, it is not far from finding the treasure. I don't think it will waste too much time to find such an obvious bridge. One day is enough!"
After listening to Nie Pan's words, Zhuo Qinglin and Song Xiyan secretly admired his analysis and observation ability, and couldn't help giving him a thumbs up. Li Mochou couldn't wait for his queen's dream. Only by finding the treasure can the uprising army be strengthened. Only when the uprising army is strong can it be possible to overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty. Power, it is possible to repel Mongolia's aggression...
Li Mochou shouted, "In this case, why don't you look for it quickly? What are you waiting for here!" When the words fell, a whip was thrown on the horse's buttocks and the horse followed the river to find the bridge mentioned by Nie Pan. The three people of Nie Pan looked at each other and smiled, and followed Li Mochou together. Behind, four people went west along the canal.
If you do something after you have a goal, you will get twice the result with half the effort!
Four people rode forward. After walking more than ten miles, they saw a majestic bridge across the ditch in the mountains and ravines, surrounded by bamboo forests, green and straight, as if an ink painting was placed in front of them.
"Look, bamboo forest, this must be the predecessor of Songzhu Town 800 years later!" Seeing the green bamboo on the shore, Song Xiyan shouted excitedly from afar.
"Haha... Sure enough, there is no place to find everywhere on the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much time to get it! Let's go and have a look on the bridge!" Everything was expected, and Nie Pan couldn't help but be energetic and galloped towards the bridge first.
The four people came to the bridge to get off and off the horse. They saw that it was a majestic bridge, which was exactly the same as the Songzhu Town Bridge in Nie Pan's memory, but there was no sense of vicissitudes after 800 years.
A bridge that is not flat, leading to Lingzhou in the east and Zhongxing Road in the west. This majestic bridge is like a pearl embedded on the river.
On the west side of the bridge, both sides of the post road are full of lush and green bamboo forests. In the east of the bridge, in addition to bamboo, there are tall pines and cypresses standing on both sides of the post road. According to Nie Pan's memory, the location of the film and television city that Tianxing Film and Television Company spent a lot of money is probably on the west side of the bridge, that is, Under that piece of bamboo.
Standing on the bridge with his hands on his back, Nie Pan observed the bamboo forest on both sides for a while and said to the three beautiful women, "Did you see it? The west is full of bamboo, while the east is full of pine and cypress trees. Among them, there are also a hundred trees that seem to be at least three or five hundred years old, while there is no pine and cypress in the west. It can be seen that the pine and cypress in the west have been killed a hundred years ago, and those bamboos were planted later to cover up the treasures below, which can be Infer that Li Yuanhao's underground tomb must be under this pine forest!"
Looking at this bamboo forest with a radius of at least five kilometers, Li Mochou snorted discontented, gently pumping the dust on Nie Pan's buttocks, and questioned, "Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm afraid it's not easy to find a mausoleum buried in such a large bamboo forest, is it? Without ten days and a half months, can we find it?
"Yes, it's not easy to find this bamboo sea!" The first time she saw such a large bamboo forest, Song Xiyan was a little worried.
Nie Pan stood at the bridge and said nothing, as if he was meditating on something.
"Hey, why don't you talk? Isn't it easy for you to use your head recently? Hurry up and find a way to determine the location of the mausoleum where the treasure is buried. Let's dig it out quickly. If it's too late and the Mongols notice our whereabouts, it's hard to say who the treasure falls into!" Li Mochou continued to stand behind Nie Pan and urged him to find a way.
"Follow me, maybe the mystery of the treasure is under a bridge!"
Nie Pan, who had been closing his eyes and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, shouted, and jumped off the bridge.
"Uh... Did he find anything else? I'll follow and have a look." Li Mochou muttered and jumped down with Nie Pan.
Zhuo Qinglin can't do martial arts, so she had to let Song Xiyan jump off the bridge behind her back and follow Nie Pan to see what important clues he found.
