After eight consecutive days of hasty marching, the men and horses were very exhausted. Xia Houyuan is also a veteran in the battlefield, and he knew the truth that "tired soldiers cannot be used", so he ordered the whole army to rest, recharge their batteries, and prepare to cross Dingjun Mountain tomorrow!

As long as you climb over Dingjun Mountain, you will be able to see Nanzheng City. The army rushed all the way, and the checkpoints along the way were unimpeded. It shows that Ma Liu, Gao Shun and others are not on guard, so their plan to seize power is very likely to succeed. up.

But at this time, the more cautious we must act, Xia Houyuan has seen too many enemies in the battlefield for more than 20 years, and at a place one step away from victory, he fell into Xiao Yi's tricks and ended up with no bones left!

Xiao Yi is as cunning as a fox, and his subordinates are not kind, so they might have set up a trap, waiting for him to get in. He must be careful at every step, and be on guard at all times. Don't let the military power be taken, but the father and son. life!

In all honesty, Xia Houyuan has such insight, he is a great general, but knowing that there is danger ahead, but still under the temptation of profit, how stupid is he to slam into it?

"Report to my lord father, the boy led a team of rangers to patrol and caught a few suspicious people!"

"The suspicious person, could it be that it is a secret agent sent by Nanzheng City, and Ma Liu and others have noticed it?"

"It's not like a spy, but like a thief, with a lot of gold, silver and jewels with me!"

"Gold, silver and jewels, quickly bring them to my father to see!"

After a while, Xia Houheng came back with someone on patrol, and caught a few rogue-eyed, mud-covered guys who didn't look good at first glance, and carried two hemp bags!

Inside a sack, there are tools such as shovels, iron brazing, ropes, ladders, compass, glutinous rice, candles, torches, and a few big black donkey hooves!

Another sack was opened, but it was full of gold ingots, silver bricks, coral, pearls, gemstones... shining light, Xia Houyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart beat fast!

Among the clan generals, the most stingy and money-greedy is Cao Hong. He accepted bribes and amassed countless fortunes. Lianye! '

However, during the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Cao Hong offered his horse to Cao Cao and saved his life in distress. Therefore, Cao Cao turned a blind eye to the matter of corruption. The subordinates with shortcomings are easy to control. If my son-in-law has more shortcomings, how much worry should I have to worry about, and I will definitely live ten or eight years longer!

What the world doesn't know is that Xia Houyuan is not stingy, but he is even more greedy than Cao Hong in terms of greed for property. Otherwise, he would not have abandoned military affairs for Dong Zhuo's treasure and went to Liupan Mountain to dig a few. Moon Rat!

Although the treasure was not dug up, Xia Houyuan was not discouraged, and believed that the news was accurate, and when he took charge of the Southwest military and political power, he must carefully search for the whereabouts of the treasure, even if he dug through the Qinling Mountains!

"A daring thief who dares to steal a tomb will be beheaded according to the law of the Han Dynasty, and his family members will also be punished as official slaves!"

"Master General, it is clear that the villains are not tomb robbers, but duty-loving villagers nearby. These jewels are all picked up, picked up from the ravine!"

"Tools and stolen goods are here. How dare you deny them? Do you think this general is blind? Drag it on... wait a minute, drag them back!"

……

The world is in chaos, the people are in dire straits, and social production has been completely destroyed. In order to supplement the shortage of the national treasury, Cao Cao and Xiao Yi formed a digging army to search for gold and treasure everywhere, which has become one of the country's important sources of income!

Even if the imperial court is like this, the common people will naturally follow suit, especially the unemployed vagrants, who are often in small groups and gangs, wandering around the mountains and plains with shovels, and the wind of tomb robbery is very popular for a while!

The difference is that the diggers are strictly disciplined, only touching gold, not destroying tombs, let alone touching human bones; folk tomb robbers don’t care about these, and because of their unprofessional skills, they often dig and demolish by force, destroy the tombs, and discard the bones. In the wilderness, let the wild beasts drag and eat, the appearance is horrible!

Therefore, in the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao promulgated a decree: "If there are private tomb robbers among the people, the principal offender will be beheaded for public display, and the accessory offender will be cut off. The family members will also be punished as slaves for five years!" '

Typical: only the imperial court is allowed to touch gold, and the people are not allowed to dig graves, but in extraordinary times, they can only be treated extremely.

Fortunately, with the end of the war in the Central Plains, social production has gradually resumed, the people have no worries about food and clothing, and the number of tomb robbers has decreased a lot. However, Hanzhong County has just been pacified for a long time, and the law and order are still relatively chaotic, so there are often tomb robbers!

Xia Houyuan was quite greedy for money, and originally wanted to kill a few thieves and put the stolen goods into his own pocket, but when he glanced at the jewels, he changed his mind instantly, and left the few people behind.

Chilong Pattern White Jade Earrings!

Round carved green luan ink jade pendant!

Carved phoenix pattern jade seat screen!

The Hetian suet jade dragon belt is also inlaid with 24 South Sea pearls, all of which are the size of longan!

…………

As the saying goes: "Anyone who is greedy for money is half a jewelry appraiser." Xia Houyuan is a master of this way. Just by scanning his eyes, he found that these jewelry are extraordinary.

The patterns of dragon, phoenix, and green luan belong to the royal family, representing the meaning of sacredness and nobility. Not to mention ordinary people, even high-ranking officials dare not use them indiscriminately, otherwise they will commit a serious crime and destroy the nine clans!

It shows that the jewels in this sack are all belongings of the royal family. The carvers are in the style of the former Han Dynasty and some in the style of the later Han Dynasty. They are still covered with fresh soil and a cloud of haze. It is obvious that they have just been dug out of the grave not long ago. It is also very likely that it was excavated from nearby!

This is strange, although Dingjun Mountain is a place that military strategists must contend for, it is not a place of geomantic omen, and it is far away from the eastern and western capitals of the Han Dynasty. There are no emperors, concubines, or princesses buried here. What about royal jewels?

With all kinds of doubts, Xia Houyuan carefully inspected these jewels, and finally found a clue on a pure gold 'tiger'...

"Huzi" is a drowning vessel. The body is tiger-shaped, made of pure gold, but the workmanship is relatively rough, which does not conform to the royal demeanor. The abdominal cavity is empty, and a line of small characters is engraved below it:

In the first year of Zhaoning - Xinwei Day in August, the Dahan Shangfang supervised the construction and dedicated it to the queen! '

Zhaoning, Shangfang, Yuyong... These inscriptions may not be understood by ordinary people. Xia Houyuan is in a high position and often goes to and from the court, so he knows that this is a tragic story.

In the sixth year of Zhongping - summer, on April [-]th, Emperor Ling of Han passed away. Two days later, with the support of General He Jin, the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Bian, succeeded to the throne in front of the coffin, honoring his mother, Empress He, as the empress dowager. Announced amnesty for the world and changed the Yuan to 'Guangxi! '

In the first year of Guangxi - August 25th, the "ten permanent attendants" launched a coup d'état and killed He Jin in the Changle Palace. General He Jin takes revenge!

Zhang Rang, Duan Gui, etc. were forced to pursue the soldiers, so they had to walk out of the valley gate with dozens of people including Shaodi and Chen Liuwang, and entered Beiman Mountain after nightfall... It happened that Xiao Yi stationed troops in Yuyuan and rescued Liu Bian, Liu Xie, and others. Princess Haiyan and others!

Two days later, all the ten permanent attendants were killed, and the coup d'état gradually subsided. The civil and military officials took Liu Bian back to the palace. '

On the day of the coup, there was a fire in the palace, and the situation was very chaotic. Soldiers, eunuchs, and maids took the opportunity to steal property, lost countless gold, silver and jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even the jade seal of the Chuan Kingdom was gone.

It can be deduced from this that the emperor's pure gold drowning vessel was also taken away. In order not to delay the emperor's "dragon out of the water", Shangfang had to rush to make a new one, which is why this slightly rough, pure gold The "Huzi" is engraved with Zhaoning-August Xinweiri handwriting!

"Where did you dig up these gold, silver and jewels? Tell me quickly, and you will save yourself from death, or beheaded immediately!"

"My lord, please spare my life, spare my life, the villains dare not hide anything, this is dug out from Dingjun Mountain, the villains have found a big tomb!"

As for who the owner of the tomb is, the little people don't know, because the tomb is too huge, the little people spent a lot of effort, just dug up a funeral room, and found so many gold, silver and jewels!

I wanted to go down the mountain, gather more accomplices, and then dig up the main tomb to find treasures, but I was caught by the army men without thinking, the villains dare not hide anything! "

…………

"In the middle of Dingjun Mountain, there is a large mausoleum—could it be said that there is no place to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there?"

Not long after the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Zhaoning, Dong Zhuo led his troops into the capital, abolished Liu Bian, established Liu Xie, and began to act in a powerful manner. The palace did not let go...

It is speculated that this pure gold tiger-shaped drowning device should have fallen into the hands of the Xiliang army. Why did it appear in Dingjun Mountain again? It was dug out from the ground... A bold idea appeared in Xia Houyuan's mind !

The previous legend is true, Dong Zhuo's treasure is really in the southwest region, but it is not in Liupan Mountain, but in the Dingjun Mountain in front of us?

Taking a step back, even if it wasn't Dong Zhuo's treasure, it was the treasure of a Xiliang general, and there were a lot of gold, silver and jewels in it!

Chapter 1620 Dingjun Mountain!

For a money-grubbing ghost, picking up a copper coin when going out is something to be happy for a long time, let alone finding a priceless treasure?

Xia Houyuan's heart was beating wildly. If there were not too many people around, he might have danced and danced. The blessed don't need to be busy, and the unlucky people are heartbroken. The treasure of Dong Zhuo that many people can't find is about to fall into it. own hands.

But the most important thing right now is to go to Nanzheng City to seize the military power in Hanzhong, and then go to Chang'an City to seize Guanzhong. As for the treasure digging thing, it should be put aside for a while!
