Sprite? Coke
The name of the modern drink
Lu Yunzheng originally wanted to go down and confront them, but was stopped by Liu Qiaoer.
"Don't move. Wait a moment."
Lu Yunzheng clenched the knife in his hand and said, "We can catch the leader by surprise when there are not many people around now."
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Lu Yunzheng has the ability to do so.
Liu Qiaoer felt that there was something strange about this young man: "Let's wait for reinforcements, they should be here soon."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the man followed the mechanism and vaguely saw someone hiding in the tree. He snorted coldly, pulled out a bow and arrow from his back, and silently aimed at Lu Yunzheng.
When Liu Qiaoer saw that they were exposed, she suddenly thought that maybe she could give them a secret signal.
"Palace Jade Liquor."
Um
The young man was slightly stunned, but did not answer.
Could it be that she guessed wrong, and the young man did not travel through time like Princess Mingxin
But the name he mentioned is indeed the name of a modern drink.
Liu Qiaoer did not give up and asked again: "Odds change but evens do not."
"Symbols look at the quadrant."
The young man looked up at Liu Qiao'er on the tree, wondering: "When did Hong Kong return to China?"
This was not a problem for Liu Qiaoer. Although she lived in the last days, she knew history by heart. Besides, Princess Mingxin had also explained this issue to her.
"July 1, 1997."
The code matched, and Liu Qiao'er also jumped down from the tree and asked, "When did you wear it? What year did you wear it?"
The young man seemed to have found his organization and stretched out his hand towards Liu Qiaoer. Liu Qiaoer shook hands with him using modern etiquette.
"2024, what about you?"
Liu Qiaoer: "2338. Three hundred years later than you. You are the senior."
"So we are from the same hometown." The young man opened his arms and wanted to hug Liu Qiaoer.
But Lu Yunzheng stopped him with his sword: "What do you mean fellow countryman? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The fellow villager the young man was talking about was different from Lu Yunzheng, and Liu Qiaoer naturally heard it.
With a chuckle, he introduced himself: "My name is Liu Qiaoer, and I am from the same place as Mr. Lu Yunzheng. We are here today to suppress bandits under orders. May I ask what your name is? Who are the bandits we are suppressing?"
"Hahaha," the young man laughed a few times and said, "You can say that, because I lost my previous memories, and when I woke up I was in this desolate mountain and wilderness, and I saved so many people with my own hands. If you insist on saying that I am a bandit, I admit it."
"After all, we have to eat. The living conditions in this place are harsh. We have to go down the mountain to steal things occasionally to get by."
Liu Qiaoer was speechless: "Since you are a fellow villager, you should know the rules. Murder, arson, and robbery are all illegal there."
The young man pointed at the people behind him and said, "If you can give them a position, I can bring them back to the court."
"Let me introduce myself solemnly. My name is Du Zixu. I am 25 years old this year. I graduated from the Geology Department of X University. I died while doing archaeological research."
No wonder this person can find the ancient tomb, it turns out he is an archaeologist.
Liu Qiaoer looked at Lu Yunzheng. Although Lu Yunzheng didn't understand what they were saying, he could understand that this man could surrender without a fight.
At this moment, the reinforcements led by Jiang Nanhao also arrived. They surrounded Du Zixu and others and said they would strangle them on the spot.
Liu Qiaoer quickly stopped him: "He said he can go back with us, and I found that this person is actually a useful talent, so why not take him back and let the general make the decision."
Jiang Nanhao glanced at Liu Qiaoer coldly: "Girl, the robbers not only robbed the merchants passing by, but also killed many of our brothers. I have to avenge my dead brothers."
Du Zixu was slightly startled, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, we only robbed, not killed. If you are talking about murder, the real murderer is here. If you trust me, I can take you to see it."
Jiang Nanhao obviously didn't believe him, so Liu Qiaoer said, "I'll go," because they were from the same hometown.
Lu Yunzheng followed closely behind Liu Qiaoer: "I'll go too."
Du Zixu brought Liu Qiaoer and Lu Yunzheng into the cave. After wandering around for a while, they came to a bedroom and saw a coffin lying across the room.
Du Zixu pointed at the man in the coffin and said, "When I came here, he led people down the mountain to rob, but after returning, I don't know what happened, he fell asleep and never woke up. I should be his deputy general, and these people listened to me. I didn't let them rob, I taught them to hunt and be self-reliant."
Liu Qiaoer felt the man's breath in the coffin and found it very weak, so she took his pulse.
"He must have been poisoned. He still has a scent."
Liu Qiaoer stuffed a detoxifying pill into his mouth and sealed his heart meridian with a silver needle, leaving the man in a coma.
"You didn't just travel through time, did you?"
Du Zixu held up five fingers: "Today is the fifth day."
Liu Qiaoer calculated the date and found out that they had set up the plan three days ago. It turned out that the leader of the robbers had changed. No wonder they didn't go down the mountain to rob again.
"Then do you know where they put the looted items?"
Du Zixu pointed to the back and said, "This is a very large tomb. There is a large warehouse at the back. All the looted items are in the warehouse."
Now that the leader of the robbers was found, Liu Qiaoer had him carried out. Du Zixu took these people and followed Jiang Nanhao and the others back to Mobei City.
They also carried back the stolen property.
The goods were taken away in the order of the people who reported the case, including Mu Lingxiao and his friends.
All the robbers who were kidnapped from the mountain were thrown into jail, only Du Zixu and the unconscious man were carried to the general's mansion.
When General Zhenbei saw this person, he was shocked: "Isn't this Tuoba Ling, the third prince of the Northern Qiang Kingdom?"
"They said he was killed by the eldest prince. It turns out he hid in the mountains."
The Northern Qiang Kingdom, like the Great Zhou, also had princes competing for the throne.
A big part of the reason why Northern Qiang has not attacked Great Zhou for so many years is because they have too many princes, and each of them is very powerful, and the internal friction is too serious to consider expansion.
The Northern Qiang Kingdom has no crown prince. The throne will be passed on to whoever of the six princes is alive last.
The emperor was simple and rough. He enjoyed watching these princes fighting and checking each other. In fact, all power was concentrated in his own hands.
Moreover, the Northern Qiang Emperor is in good health and can live another ten years without any problem. Logically speaking, as long as the princes live a low-key life, it will be fine as long as the fishermen benefit in the end.
But some princes were determined to fight to the death. At the beginning, the eldest prince and the second prince fought fiercely, and the second prince was killed by the eldest prince.
The Emperor of Northern Qiang gave the eldest prince five years. The third prince and the fifth prince were fighting for the throne. The fifth prince was framed by the third prince, and the third prince won.
After the eldest prince came to power again after the incident and killed the third prince, it was very likely that the third prince ran away secretly.
Now, General Zhenbei was also quite troubled when he saw the person in front of him.
"The eldest prince of Northern Qiang is in power now. I'm afraid this person can't go back."
But if he stayed in the Great Zhou, he would be a disaster sooner or later. General Zhenbei thought about it and said, "Take him back to the capital and let the emperor deal with him."
