At this time, Zhou Qing had already retreated in his heart. From the day the troops were sent out yesterday afternoon to now, the troops had not slept a wink all day and night. The soldiers' physical strength and energy had reached a limit. If they continued to pursue forcefully, they would undoubtedly damage the soldiers' bodies. Watching
The troops were exhausted, and he was about to order to stop the march and camp on the spot. But as he spoke, he thought of the company commander's military order. He hesitated and shouted loudly: "Brothers, hold on, we will chase another ten miles, stop."
overnight."
The officers and soldiers rested after hearing that there were still ten miles left. They immediately cheered up and accelerated their pace. They were really tired and wanted to finish walking this section of the road and rest as soon as possible. It took more than an hour on the ten-mile mountain road, but they still didn't have time to stop.
After finding traces of Hou Zhao and others, Zhou Qing ordered the troops to temporarily stop advancing and rest on the spot. He personally found a suitable slope for camping and arranged for the troops to camp.
There are many rules for the army to camp. By the time the more than 200 troops were settled, it was already forty minutes later. Zhou Qing personally arranged for light and dark outposts to stand guard, and then went to sleep. It was very cold in the mountains, and the soldiers slept very well.
Shen, there was dead silence in the camp.
The sentry on guard braced himself and stared at the dark mountain scenery. After a while, his eyelids felt heavy, and he yawned and became confused while leaning on his rifle.
In the second half of the night, a thick fog suddenly appeared in the mountains, and the visibility was very low. The sentry had no vision and could only listen with his ears. Fortunately, the mountains were quiet and he could hear the slightest movement.
A sentry caught a cold and had diarrhea. He walked far away to the bottom of a forest, picked up a bunch of leaves, took off his pants and squatted down. After taking a breath, he pulled up his pants and was about to go back. Suddenly he heard a noise in the woods, and he felt heartbroken.
Suddenly, I tightened my grip on the gun and emboldened myself, and slowly walked inside. After walking for more than a hundred steps, I looked through the thick fog in the moonlight and saw many people sleeping in the forest. Fortunately, there were still a bunch of people sleeping.
He did not regard these people as ghosts because he was building a bonfire with embers. Just when he was about to go back to report the news, a figure suddenly ran from the other end of the forest and ran to a bonfire and shouted: "Master, those gangs of tomb robbers"
The thief has found the tomb!"
The sentry hurriedly shrank his body into the grass, and his heart was shocked. They turned out to be a group of bandits!
A burly man crawled up beside the bonfire, and he shouted in a loud voice: "Get up and kill this guy!"
The bandits in the forest woke up after being yelled at by the bandit leader, picked up their weapons, and ran towards the other end of the forest.
After everyone left, the sentry hurriedly ran back to the camp and reported the situation to Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing had just fallen asleep and looked tired, but after hearing these words, he trembled all over and woke up and said:
"Inform the troops to get up and catch up."
The soldiers woke up full of complaints and, guided by the sentries, chased into the woods.
…
"Master Hou, we have reached the back wall!"
A voice like a duck's voice came from a bottomless cave. Hou Zhao was sitting on the mound smoking a cigarette like an old man. There were four men sitting around him, holding a two-finger-thick hemp in his hands.
When he heard the sound, he jumped up and shouted into the thief's cave: "Be careful, if something goes wrong, get out first!" Several people inside responded, and then heard several dull sounds of digging into the wall. After a long time,
, I heard someone shouting happily inside: "Master Hou, this is a Han tomb, and the treasures inside have gone to the sea!"
"Hurry up and get it!" Houzhao urged. He didn't look very happy, but he became alert in his heart. Tomb robbers are most afraid of seeing treasures. Those who don't follow the rules and want to monopolize them will have their own ideas at this time. He must have
Be careful. Fortunately, no one made any move. The treasures in the tomb were continuously transported to the top. While waiting for the call, he counted the quantities and looked at the quality of the funerary objects. He carefully put the things into the bamboo baskets covered with cotton.
Here, I basically have an idea of how much it can sell for, and a smile gradually appears on my face. I can work this way for three years.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence. Hou Zhao was startled. He suddenly turned around and saw that the man in the distance had fallen down. At this time, dozens of people suddenly came around, holding gun barrels in their hands.
He was surrounded by water!
"It's you?"
Hou Zhao saw clearly a bearded man in the crowd through the moonlight, and immediately gritted his teeth, knowing that he was going to be in trouble tonight.
"It's me!" The bearded man stared greedily at the funerary objects in the bamboo basket, and laughed loudly: "I have been watching you for half a month, just waiting for you to find the tomb. You have some ability. The tomb in Mangdang Mountain is very poor.
But it has been stolen, and you can still find it. As long as you promise to rob my tomb for me in the future, I will spare your life today!"
Houzhao stood up and took out a grenade out of nowhere in his hand. The fuse was already in his hand. He said in a ferocious voice: "I deal with dead people, so I'm afraid of you. Believe it or not, I threw the grenade into it."
Let you get nothing!"
The bearded man glanced at Hou Zhao with a sullen face: "You're not fucking afraid of death, aren't your brothers afraid of death either?"
Hou Zhao smiled, showing his yellow teeth: "My father and my brothers don't recognize those who work in my profession. At worst, we will die together!"
"You're cruel!" said the bearded man: "Put down the grenade and I will let you go!"
Hou Zhao said: "I can't believe your words, so you ask your people to get out of the way and let my people go first!"
The bearded man hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, and the bandits made way.
Hou Zhao shouted from inside the thief's cave: "Get the fuck out of here!"
The tomb robbers from underneath the cave climbed out one after another, looked at each other with Hou Zhao, said nothing, and ran away from the bandits without even looking back!
The bearded man said: "You should put down the grenade now!"
"Let go now!" Hou Zhao knew that he could not escape from the hands of the bandits, so he ruthlessly pulled the lead in his hand, thinking of dying together with the tomb.
"Don't move!"
Suddenly there was intensive gunfire all around, and dozens of bandits fell. A large number of officers and soldiers were surrounded and suppressed from all directions. The bayonets in their hands were shining with cold light. Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like officers and soldiers, the bandits who had just shown off their power suddenly became
When the bearded man was about to raise his gun to resist, he was beaten into a sieve by random gunshots. The others were frightened and were captured without mercy.
"On call!"
Zhou Qing walked over from the outside with his hands behind his back, looked at the grenade in Zhongzhao's hand, and said: "Be careful if there is a misfire, your life is not guaranteed!"
Hou Zhao looked at Zhou Qing and cursed with a smile: "Did Han Baihang ask you to come here?" Then he stared at the military rank on his shoulder and said: "We haven't seen each other for more than a month, and your kid is already a second lieutenant, an officer.
!”
"The company commander wants to see you!"
Zhou Qing said calmly: "If you were not a deserter then, you will be a second lieutenant now. People are going to higher places, but you are the only one who can't change your mind from eating shit, and you plan to dig graves for the rest of your life?"
Hou Zhao loosened the lead and sneered: "It's none of your business what I do!"
Zhou Qing's expression changed, he quickly pulled out the shell gun and put it on Hou Zhao's forehead, saying coldly: "Take it!"
Then two more soldiers with big muscles and round waists rushed forward and tied him up.
Hou Zhao did not resist, but squinted and said, "Is this how you treat Han Baihang's savior?"
Zhou Qingdao: "The company commander only asked me to take you back, but he didn't say how. All the things you robbed from the tomb will be confiscated!"
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers forced the tomb robbers who had just escaped back at gunpoint. Zhou Qing said to them: "Get all the treasures inside!"
The tomb robbers were escorted down to the tomb by officers and soldiers, and the funerary objects were brought out one after another and placed in a large area.
"What's going on with this group of bandits?" Zhou Qing asked, pointing to the bandits squatting on the ground.
Hou Zhao said: "The bandit leader who was killed by you is called Liu Sanmao. He was also a tomb robber before, but he later fell into the trap. When I came to Mangdang Mountain to visit the tomb this time, he accidentally saw it and wanted me to find it for him."
Tomb, I didn't agree, so he shot and wounded me. Fortunately, I was saved by Han Baihang that day, but I didn't expect that he would still be staring at me after so many days, and I almost fell into his hands if I didn't pay attention."
