But he had never seen that girl in the archaeological team before.
What is her identity?
…
The next day, just after daybreak, the archaeological team prepared to set off.
For safety reasons, Professor Wang has made every possible preparation.
Zhu Qingyan carried a huge backpack, which contained not only tools such as a shovel, a brush, and a notebook, but also a wide range of safety equipment, such as a headlamp, a safety rope, and an oxygen cylinder.
When they set off, she subconsciously looked back and suddenly saw Murong Jing's figure behind the team.
She was carrying a black backpack that was one size smaller than others, and she walked lightly with a leisurely look.
It doesn't feel like climbing a dangerous wild mountain, but more like visiting a zoo.
Zhu Qingyan couldn't help but become even more curious about her.
Professor Wang hired a special security team and was protected by the local police. Apart from encountering two snakes, he did not encounter any danger along the way.
The team of nearly thirty people walked in the mountains for a full five hours, and finally arrived at a forest according to the route previously surveyed by drones.
Deep in the woods was the entrance to the tomb where robbers dug a hole in the accompanying tomb.
Professor Wang left some people to guard the entrance and led the team down to the tomb himself.
Zhu Qingyan naturally wanted to follow, but what surprised her was that Murong Jing also followed.
However, her state was obviously different from that of others. She did not look excited at all, nor did she show any interest in the archaeological issues discussed by others.
Zhu Qingyan found that he couldn't help but pay attention to her.
A dozen professionals finally entered the corridor. As they slowly explored deeper, what they found inside made everyone's eyes widen.
Those ancient inscriptions and patterns all point to a female monarch who has never been recorded in history!
Zhu Qingyan’s previous research direction and the various speculations she made were very likely to be true!
Zhu Qingyan's heart began to beat violently. She held a flashlight and carefully observed every detail in the ancient tomb.
At the end of the corridor is a rectangular stone chamber, which is made of huge bluestone slabs and has an arched top. In the center hangs an ancient bronze lamp with unburned oil still in it, emitting a faint light.
There were some bronze objects placed in the stone chamber, including wine vessels, musical instruments and weapons, which were obviously funerary objects.
䀴On another stone table, there were a roll of bamboo slips and several silk books, which were simply priceless treasures for the archaeological team!
"Look!" someone in the team shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a team member squatting on the ground, his flashlight shining on a dusty backpack in the corner.
The zipper of the backpack was open, revealing a Luoyang shovel and other tools inside.
The faces of everyone in the archaeological team turned ugly in an instant.
At this moment, several flashlight lights came from another entrance of the stone chamber.
A few dusty tomb robbers ran into the archaeological team face to face.
Those tomb robbers obviously didn't expect that the short man in the lead was stunned for a moment, cursed "bad luck", but did not intend to run away.
They discovered this tomb accidentally. After going through so much trouble to get down, they found that the most valuable things were in this stone chamber.
If you run away now, all your trip would have been in vain!
At worst, just do it! Anyway, in a place like Yanhe Mountain, any accidents are possible.
Zhu Qingyan knew that these tomb robbers were desperate criminals. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation in all the years she had been involved in archaeological work.
Even though she knew there were armed police officers protecting the team, she still took two steps back nervously and ended up bumping into someone.
Zhu Qingyan was startled and looked back.
In the dim light, Murong Jing, who was half a head taller than her, had one hand in her pocket and tilted her head to look at her, with a hint of... a smile on one side of her mouth?
Zhu Qingyan even suspected that he had seen it wrong.
How could she laugh in such a dangerous situation?
