Chapter 406 The birth of the "Jade King of Hotan" (2)
After eating, He Qing received a call from Zhao Baowen. Literature bar wxba
Zhao Baowen asked with a smile on the phone: "Xiao He, are you planning to go to Hotan?"
"Yes, we will leave tomorrow. Several of us will go there, including Xiao Wen." He Qing replied truthfully. He had just discussed it with Lin Haitao and the others and would leave tomorrow morning.
Zhao Baowen said: "It seems that you are in a hurry. When will you leave tomorrow? Can you take me with you? I want to go too."
He Qing agreed without hesitation: "Yes. Since you are going too, let's go together. We will leave as early as possible tomorrow. Just come to the hotel early to meet us."
Zhao Baowen said that he would go to Hotan with them to gamble on stones. This was naturally a good thing. After all, there were multiple people taking care of him. Zhao Baowen was an experienced jade merchant. He not only knew the jade merchants in Hotan, but also had a good understanding of them. The situation is very familiar to me, and it would be great if he could lead the way.
"Okay, I'll go find you early in the morning." Zhao Baowen agreed hastily.
"Then it's settled, we'll talk about it after meeting with the boss tomorrow." He Qing said, then said goodbye and hung up the phone.
After that, he returned to the guest room and had a good night's rest. He got up early the next day, washed up, and started packing and getting ready.
After packing his luggage, He Qing called Lin Haitao and Suning and walked to have breakfast together.
At about seven o'clock, Zhao Baowen and Zhu Wen both drove over. Zhao Baowen drove a large truck. In addition to him, there was another driver, who must be an employee of his factory. Zhu Wen drove an ordinary truck. Off-road vehicle. The vehicle looks a bit old. It must be a second-hand vehicle.
"Xiao He, I'm really honored to go hunting for jade with you in Hotan!" After meeting He Qing, Zhao Baowen couldn't help but be a little excited. For him, this was a great opportunity that he had been dreaming of, because he had already I know, He Qing is not an ordinary young man. He has a sharp eye. He seems to be able to see the beautiful jade hidden in the stone. Going with him to Hotan to bet on stones gives people a little more confidence. At least he can ask for a hand. Two.
"Uncle Zhao, you're flattered." He Qing shook his head and said. "Speaking of which, I have to rely on your help. You are so familiar with this place and know many jade dealers. I will still need your guidance when the time comes."
Zhao Baowen said: "This is not a big deal, it's just a small matter."
"Okay, let's set off. We hope to get there as soon as possible." He Qing then greeted.
Zhao Baowen nodded and said: "Yes. Let's set off right away. Xiaohe, if you don't walk at night from here to Hotan, it will probably take two days. Do you want to walk at night? If you drive overnight, it will only take up to twenty-four hours, which is one day. time."
He Qing said: "We won't rush at night, as that would be too tiring. Just two days, we are not in a hurry."
Anyway, the situation is like this. If the huge gem he is looking for is still there, it should not move within a day or two. If it has been pulled away long ago, it will be too late to fly over immediately.
"Well, that's okay. Let's do as you say." Zhao Baowen readily agreed without any objection.
After the negotiation, they got in the car, and then, led by Zhao Baowen and Zhu Wen, drove straight to the "Hometown of Hotan Jade". Basically all the fine Hetian Jade was shipped from there, even if they couldn't find it.
He Qing also had the opportunity to bet on the piece he wanted.
Now He Qing has another magical ability, which is very useful in betting on Hetian jade. Basically, for every piece of jade that emits "fluorescence", he can accurately judge the quality of the Hetian jade contained in it.
Bad times come.
Not long after, He Qing and his convoy drove out of the urban area of Urumqi and arrived at the suburbs.
At this moment, He Qing and the others did not notice that behind the convoy, which they had always maintained in formation, there were several cars following closely, including two or three small cars. The car at the front was sitting in
Two young men.
"Brother Bao, where are they going?" asked the long-haired man sitting in the driver's seat.
The man on the side said in a deep voice: "Going south, we should go to Hotan. They like to gamble on stones, so they must have gone to that place."
The long-haired man sighed, shook his head and said: "Brother Bao, they are buying antiques and gambling on stones. Are you going to follow them all over the west and north like this? My body is not tired and my heart is tired, so I just light up
Isn't it bad to reveal your identity? If you feel unhappy, you can also think of a way to give that kid a good beating! But it can be seen that Suning and him are getting closer and closer, and their relationship is very ambiguous! "
"Don't talk nonsense!" Brother Bao said angrily, "How could Suning fall in love with that kid?! Why are you talking so much nonsense?! I told you to follow you and just follow me. I have my own reasons for doing this.
!”
"I got it, Brother Bao, don't be angry. I'm just analyzing the situation for you. I have no other meaning." Seeing that the "boss" was angry, the long-haired man nodded and apologized.
The two vehicles that were with their car were followed by a large Dongfeng truck. Not only did He Qing and others not notice this, but neither Brother Bao nor anyone else noticed this abnormality.
After about five or six hours, He Qing and the others drove to a relatively large city in Xinjiang, called Kuerle, a city with beautiful scenery.
After entering the city, He Qing and the others chose a hotel and stopped to have lunch.
Brother Bao's several small cars and the big truck were also parked nearby, and the people in the cars were watching He Qing's whereabouts one by one.
He Qing and the others were completely fine, and of course no one noticed this abnormal situation.
When he got out of the car, He Qing did not forget to take those big treasures with him. Although he did not find any hidden dangers behind him, he was careful every step of the way, keeping an eye on the few treasures around him for fear that they would be lost.
And like flying.
"Xiao He, after passing Korle, we are about to enter the desert highway. If we don't spend the night here or in a nearby town, we may have to wait until night to reach the next stop."
When we sat down to eat, Zhao Baowen introduced the journey ahead. It was the first time for He Qing to walk through the desolate desert, and he felt a little nervous.
However, he was a very talented person and was bold, so he was not afraid of anything. He nodded and said, "Just arrive at night."
"Brother Qing, let me tell you something." Zhu Wen suddenly said with a solemn expression, as if he had some bad news to tell He Qing.
"What's the matter?" He Qing asked.
"Look at this." Zhu Wen said and handed He Qing a newspaper and said, "I just saw it too. It's not peaceful here recently."
"What?" He Qing took the newspaper and frowned slightly, but when he saw clearly the headlines published in the newspaper, his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.
It turns out that several major cases have just occurred here, all of which occurred on the deserted desert road ahead. Passengers were repeatedly robbed, their cars and their belongings were looted, and some women were even molested. And the men were raped.
were seriously injured during the resistance, and some of them died from excessive blood loss.
The reporter suggested that you try not to take that road at night. If you have to take it, you must be extremely careful.
"Brother Qing, what should I do?" Lin Haitao also knew and asked with a frown.
He Qing smiled calmly and said: "It's okay, we will continue moving forward according to our original plan."
Lin Haitao said: "You bring so many treasures, but among them is a piece of top-quality mutton-fat jade worth tens of millions. You must be careful and don't make any mistakes!"
He Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I think it should be fine."
He is no longer a weak scholar. He learned the famous Chen Family Boxing from an antique wooden dummy a long time ago and possesses unique skills. Although his physical strength is limited, he can deal with a few ordinary gangsters.
Still more than enough.
Furthermore, they were driving fast, and now they knew the news. They would definitely not be deceived on the road, and they would just stop halfway.
However, He Qing still added: "Just in case, we will rest at the next station today to avoid walking at night when crossing the desert."
It is better to do less than to do more. No one wants to encounter a robber on the way.
"Well, that's better." Lin Haitao nodded in agreement.
But then he worried: "They may also be dispatched during the day. Brother Qing, we'd better be prepared to deal with the possible danger."
"How to prepare?" He Qing asked.
Isn’t it enough to just be on guard? Do we need to be fully armed?
"Prepare some weapons so that you can use them to defend yourself at any time." Lin Haitao said in a low voice.
"Weapon? What weapon?" He Qing asked doubtfully. He had never thought about this problem before. Now he has no self-defense weapons except the "Yitian Sword", but it is a peerless ancient sword that can cut iron like steel.
Ni, he had learned Zhao Zilong's swordsmanship before, and he was really familiar with it.
Lin Haitao said: "If we had known this earlier, we could have prepared weapons when we were in Urumqi, but now we are halfway here and it is difficult to get them. Let me ask Xiaowen and see if he is still
Is there any way?"
"Yeah." He Qing nodded. He seemed to understand Lin Haitao's words and knew what kind of weapons the other party wanted to get for self-defense.
So Lin Haitao turned around and started discussing with Zhu Wen in whispers. After a while, he turned around and said in a low voice: "Brother Qing, yes, we are at the next stop, which is Lun, Taiwan.
goods."
"I know." He Qing nodded.
After eating, they set off on the road. It didn't take long to get to the next stop, arriving in less than three hours.
It was still very early. According to the previous plan, they would continue on their way and stop to rest at night when they arrived at a certain station on the desert road. But now an unexpected situation occurred, and He Qing changed the time of travel.
The entire desert highway is driven during the day to avoid any accidents.
So they rested in Luntai that night and set off again tomorrow.
"Brother Qing, look, we found this!"
In the evening, Lin Haitao and Zhu Wen, who were out "doing business", suddenly hurried into the guest room, opened a bag, and showed the contents to He Qing.
At first glance, He Qing was shocked. He thought about what Lin Haitao and the others were going to bring, but he didn't expect another thing. This situation shocked him very much.
