Qiao Shiyao frowned: "It is not impossible. Historical records show that all the mercury in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was provided by Ba Qing. And with the First Emperor's trust in her, it is entirely possible for her to take the lead in this matter."
thing."
She raised her head and looked at Chu Tianshu: "Is the secret you mentioned related to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?"
Chu Tianshu nodded: "The notes record that after the imperial mausoleum was built, except for Ba Qing, Li Si and other big figures, the rest of the people who participated in the construction and the laborers had to be buried with them, including many children of the Ba family. Ba Qing couldn't bear it, so he gave the order
My men secretly built a secret passage."
Qiao Shiyao asked: "What happened next?
Have those who were buried with him been rescued?"
Chu Tianshu said: "I don't know either. When I saw the note, it was incomplete, and I didn't see the rest of it."
Qiao Shiyao murmured to herself: "So, Ba Qing must have a layout map of the First Emperor's Mausoleum in his hand. As long as this layout map can be found, the exact location of the First Emperor's Mausoleum can be determined."
Chu Tianshu said: "Ba Qing would definitely not leave such a secret thing around. If it really existed, he would have kept it close to him. According to the practice at that time, all personal belongings must be buried after death.
"
Qiao Shiyao's eyes became brighter and brighter: "In other words, as long as Ba Qing's tomb can be excavated, it is very likely to find this layout plan."
Chu Tianshu agreed: "Logically speaking, that's the case."
He looked at Qiao Shiyao with a smile: "Are you interested in what I just said?"
"Of course I'm interested."
Qiao Shiyao said excitedly, but then her momentum weakened again, "It's just, brother-in-law, can I really do it?"
Chu Tianshu patted her thin shoulder: "Believe in yourself. As long as you work hard, you can do it. I will form the best team to assist you."
He now also has a strong interest in Ba Qing's tomb and wants to excavate it. Anyway, he needs to find a suitable candidate to oversee the excavation work. Qiao Shiyao, who happens to have a strong interest in this, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Qiao Shiyao nodded heavily: "Brother-in-law, I will definitely use my heart."
Chen Xueli chased after him and shouted loudly: "Mr. Chu, please stay."
Chu Tianshu and the others stopped.
Qiao Shiyao bowed slightly and called out: "Professor Chen."
She still respects Chen Xueli very much.
Chu Tianshu took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, then lit the cigarette with Ren Changfeng's lighter, and then asked: "Professor Chen, do you have any advice?"
"What just happened made Mr. Chu laugh."
Chen Xueli bowed his hand to Chu Tianshu, and then said to Qiao Shiyao: "This little girl has been wronged. I apologize to you on behalf of my lunatic lover."
Chen Xueli apologized and bowed to Qiao Shiyao.
Qiao Shiyao hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Xueli: "Professor Chen, you don't have to do this. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Chen Xueli smiled bitterly and said: "She is my wife. If she did something wrong, how can she say it has nothing to do with me?"
Qiao Shiyao pursed her lips and didn't know what to say.
A playful smile appeared on Chu Tianshu's lips: "Professor Chen came to me, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as apologizing, right?"
Chen Xueli said: "Is Mr. Chu free at noon?
I would like to treat you to a casual meal and ask you some academic questions."
The corner of Ren Changfeng's lips curled up: "I'm afraid asking Mr. Chu for academic advice is the main purpose, and eating is just a convenience, right?"
Chen Xueli smiled sheepishly: "Mr. Chu, are you free at noon?"
What he is best at is immersing himself in academics. He is definitely not as sharp as Ren Changfeng when it comes to talking. He doesn't know how to explain it, so he simply doesn't explain it anymore.
Chu Tianshu said: "I have something to do later, so I won't eat."
"That's it, then let's wait until the next opportunity to invite Mr. Chu to dinner."
Chen Xueli's expression was obviously a little disappointed.
Chu Tianshu took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Xueli: "Does Professor Chen smoke?"
Chen Xueli took the cigarette from Chu Tianshu with both hands: "Thank you, Mr. Chu."
Chu Tianshu got straight to the point: "Professor Chen, I am planning to form a professional team to participate in this excavation and subsequent research. I wonder if you are interested?"
Chen Xueli was immediately stunned: "Mr. Chu also wants to participate in this excavation?"
Immediately, a hint of excitement appeared on his face: "Will Mr. Chu personally preside over the team's excavation and research work?"
"No, I don't have that much time."
Chu Tianshu glanced at Qiao Shiyao and said, "My sister will be in charge of the team."
Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "That's why we need someone with authority like Professor Chen to join us."
He touched Qiao Shiyao's head and continued: "My sister is only responsible for the overall arrangements. I hope she can learn something from Professor Chen."
Chen Xueli pondered for a moment and then asked: "Mr. Chu will also provide guidance when needed, right?"
"Of course."
Chu Tianshu said with a smile: "I am also very interested in this matter, otherwise I would not form a team."
Chen Xueli simply nodded and said, "Okay, I'll join."
Chu Tianshu reached out to Chen Xueli: "Welcome Professor Chen to join my team. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Chen Xueli shook hands with Chu Tianshu: "I will definitely do it."
Chu Tianshu said: "If anything happens in the future, Professor Chen can directly communicate with my sister."
Chen Xueli shook hands with Qiao Shiyao again: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
The corner of Chu Tianshu's lips curled up: "My sister is also preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination of Professor Chen. Professor Chen should give her more guidance when he has time."
Chen Xueli said: "I still have a quota for admission without examination, let's give it to my sister."
Just as Chu Tianshu was about to agree, Qiao Shiyao said first, "I still want to take the exam myself."
Chen Xueli was slightly startled, then there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "You are ambitious."
Chu Tianshu said: "I still have something to do. I will have dinner with Professor Chen next time I have time. I will let my sister contact you for the follow-up matters."
Chen Xueli nodded and said, "Okay."
After leaving Zhongzhou University, Chu Tianshu called Qiao Shiyuan.
Knowing that Qiao Shiyuan had already rushed to the specialty store to be busy, Chu Tianshu took Qiao Shiyao and Ren Changfeng and went straight there.
