Chapter 57: The No. 1 Master of the Republic of China
"Large steamed buns with mutton and yellow noodles with donkey meat!..."
"Sweet and delicious perfumed pear, Li Guangtao, don't miss it if you pass by!"
...
In the ancient city of Dunhuang, there are constant cries, various delicious snacks, and various specialty products, making people welcome countless outsiders. Westerners have poured into this city. This ancient border city seems to have returned to the time of Han Dynasty.
Scenery, the ancient city that has been silent for many years has become lively again recently.
The appearance of the five Deng Longs still attracted a lot of people's attention, mainly because Dai Li was covered in a black cloak.
Gang, Ma Youde’s spy, etc.
The city is crowded with people. From time to time, large trucks carrying soldiers speed past the streets with loud horns. There are also soldiers wearing military boots, marching in neat steps, patrolling the streets. Pedestrians on the road have to give way.
"Grandma, why are you so serious? I thought I was back in Shanghai four years ago," Li Kangkai muttered.
"Judging from the military uniforms, this seems to be Zhang Zongchang's army. Dunhuang is indeed this guy's defense area." Ma Tiexin thought for a while and said
"That's not right. My grandfather said that Zhang Zongchang would not be interested in the things in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. Could it be that he is also here to rob the treasures of the underground palace?" Duan Yuxuan said in surprise.
"Xiao Duan, keep your voice down! Let's find an inn to stay in first!" Deng Long patted Duan Yuxuan and whispered.
With the lessons learned last time, the Deng Long brothers kept a low profile and found a clean inn to stay.
"Brothers, I think Zhang Zongchang is also eyeing the treasures of Dunhuang. A large number of troops are injected into Dunhuang. In name, it is to maintain local security. In fact, it is to pay attention to the movements of the treasures. Once the treasures are found, they will be immediately taken away in the name of protecting cultural relics.
It is privately owned, so even if we dig out the treasures from the underground palace this time, it will be difficult to hand them over to President Sun." Deng Long lit a cigarette, sat on the edge of the bed, and said
"I think if I have such a strong power as Zhang Zongchang and so many guns, I can directly dig Dunhuang to the ground, so there is no need to use these little tricks," Ma Tiexin said loudly.
"Old Ma, what Xiaolong said is right. The reason why Zhang Zongchang didn't dare to blatantly join the crowd searching for treasures was because he had his own plans. Do you think that since Sun Dianying left Dongling, he became a warlord for a while by selling national treasures?
However, he was despised by the 'lords' in the world, and was eventually ruined. Zhang Zongchang naturally would not follow in the footsteps of Sun Dianying. Secondly, this treasure was not dug out at the drop of a hat. It took a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Zhang Zongchang fought with the south.
If he rises, he will naturally not go digging for treasures on a large scale. It is better to just sit back and enjoy the gains." Duan Yuxuan waved his hand and explained
"Brothers, you have also seen that Dunhuang is a turbulent time, with dragons and snakes mixed together. We must be careful this time. We first find the 17th cave in Dunhuang and the underground palace. As for the treasure, we will consider it later." Deng Long put the treasure
He took out the picture, pointed at the dense markings on it, and whispered
"Well, I have a suggestion now," Li Kangkai raised his hand and said
"Stop talking nonsense, come on," Ma Tiexin slapped Lao Li and said
"Let's eat first and rest in the afternoon. After dark in the evening, we will go to the Mogao Grottoes to look for the Seventeenth Cave," Li Kangkai said
"Well, I'm really exhausted these past few days. Let's go down to eat first and then go back to our rooms to rest. We'll set off in the evening." Deng Long stood up
Deng Long stood up and looked at Delly who was sitting on the edge of the bed. He couldn't help but remember that Delly couldn't eat food. It seemed that he had to make a trip to buy some fresh chicken blood or pig blood for this beautiful vampire.
"Daili, you stay in the room and we'll come as soon as we go." Deng Long smiled and said to Daili.
Dai Li nodded. After Deng Long left, she fluttered her cloak and jumped onto the beam to rest.
Deng Long and others walked out of the room, and the four of them walked downstairs. This inn was a small shop with very narrow stairs. Duan Yuxuan, who had been hungry all morning, ran downstairs excitedly. Unexpectedly, his feet slipped and he ran straight into the oncoming person.
A tall middle-aged man with half black beard and half white hair, sallow complexion
Duan Yuxuan bumped into the man, feeling as if he had hit an iron plate. The force of the shock made him sit down on the stairs suddenly.
"Young man, don't you have eyes when you walk?" the man said coldly, exuding an unparalleled, cold and domineering murderous aura. Duan Yuxuan suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, and he sat on the ground dumbly unable to say a word.
Since receiving Tie Fei's lesson, Ma Tiexin and Li Kangkai knew that Dunhuang gathered countless masters, and they were no longer as impulsive as before. At this moment, they forcibly suppressed their inner impulses and looked at the man coldly without saying a word.
"Senior! I'm sorry, Xiao Duan, why don't you apologize to senior quickly?" Deng Long pulled up Duan Yuxuan, made a 'jianghu' gesture to the man, and said respectfully
"Well, you young man should be polite, that's all! I won't argue with you." The man raised his head and walked straight up the stairs like a javelin.
"Oh, I was scared to death. This old man is so cruel." Duan Yuxuan patted his chest and said after the man left.
Li Kangkai and Ma Tiexin also let out a long sigh. This man is definitely a master. Judging from this aura that is as firm as a mountain and as powerful as a landslide, even the cloaked man in Yangguan last time may not be able to compare with him.
"Xiao Duan, it's okay, let's go eat." Deng Long smiled and led the way downstairs.
Walking downstairs, Ma Tiexin shouted: "Brother, please hurry up and bring the good wine and food. Let's bring some wine first."
The waiter came over quickly with a pot of wine. While pouring the wine, he lowered his voice and said: "These guest officials are in great danger. No one in Dunhuang dared to offend that man just now. Even Hu Dapao, who is stationed here,
Everyone has to respect him three points.”
"Oh, who is this person?" Li Kangkai asked
"I don't know what his name is. This man has been in Dunhuang for half a month and has already killed several people. Last time, at the door of the shop, this man smashed the head of one of our thieves to pieces with one palm. Don't mention it.
How vicious." The waiter looked around and said
"Do your security team and Zhang Dashuai's people ignore him? Do you let him kill people here?" Duan Yuxuan asked in confusion.
"This man is said to be a very famous person. Everyone of the older generation knows him. How dare Marshal Zhang take care of such a person? Maybe someone will kill him the next day. Hu Dapao, the commander of the garrison here, even
Don’t dare to provoke him,” the waiter whispered.
"I know who he is!" Deng Long smiled, lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
"Who!" Ma Tiexin and three others asked at the same time
"The number one master in the Republic of China, Li Xuwen!" Deng Long raised his head and smiled.
I have a serious cold, so this is the only chapter for today, please forgive me!!
