The legend of the great treasures of the Guanlouya Kingdom was circulated in the West for a long time, and relevant records were found in the Nuanmen Dunhuang collection. After all, the ancient Loulan Kingdom occupied the major transportation routes of the ancient Silk Road, and it was not impossible to accumulate a large amount of treasures. However, most archaeologists have doubts about this book because it is inferred based on time, because when the author wrote this book, the ancient Loulan Kingdom had long disappeared in the desert, and the writers had never seen the treasures of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

This question lasted for several years until a Chinese archaeologist discovered some remains of Loulan residents who might have migrated from the epidemic in the ancient river channel where the Peacock River had long been dried up. There were a large amount of gold, silver and wealth beside these remains. Later, some painted pottery buried under the wind and sand were found in the remains of the suspected royal residence in the ancient city of Loulan. These pottery clearly recorded the wealth of the ancient country of Loulan, which gradually weakened the doubts.

It was at that time that Roger began to pay attention to everything about Guloulan. Since Roger was also a slightly famous mercenary in the industry, he was able to collect some unknown information and soon knew who was an expert in Guloulan. In the past few years, Roger had come to Loulan Ancient City with many archaeologists from the East and the West. He secretly observed these archaeologists and finally set his sights on Jefferson.

The reason why he paid attention to Jefferson was not because Jefferson was better than other archaeologists, but mainly because he discovered that Jefferson found and hid some unknown antiquities during his several adventures in Guloulan. In addition to some related articles published by Jefferson on his own country's litter, he was almost certain that Jefferson should have discovered clues about the treasures of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

After Roger deliberately made friends with him. Jefferson, who was ignorant of the world, quickly regarded him as a close friend. When he decided to form a team to explore Loulan alone, he thought of him first and hired his mercenary team as bodyguards. As expected, as Roger expected, Jefferson soon found a clue related to treasure in the ancient city of Loulan. Although he didn't know whether this map was the treasure map of the ancient Loulan royal family, he could see from the marks on the map that seemed to indicate the location of a gold mine vein. No matter whether the treasure of the ancient Loulan royal family could be successfully found this time, he would not wait any longer, because he knew that if he missed this opportunity, his hope of getting rich in that day would never be realized. Both the treasure and the gold mine would belong to those big chaebols and major forces.

After it got dark, Roger summoned his subordinates to a small sand dune and said, "I heard that old guy say that there will be an archaeological team coming in two days. Let's do it tonight!"

"But the treasure has not been found yet. Will it be too early to do it now?" a subordinate asked a question.

Roger raised his eyebrows, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he still explained: "Jefferson is not the best Loulan archaeologist. He is just lucky. We only need to get the treasure map and then find a better archaeologist to crack the secret words in the map, and that's enough."

Hearing Roger's explanation, everyone nodded slightly and expressed their agreement. Another subordinate stood up and pointed to another Swedish archaeological team not far from their base, saying, "What should they do? Their number is much higher than that of us. If there is a conflict, I'm afraid we will."

Roger made a reassuring gesture, interrupted his companion and said, "It's okay, the guys who protect the Swedes are all local thieves. I know a few of them and I talked to them last night. They are afraid that they have other purposes and will not care about our affairs. We can just not provoke them at that time; they will not provoke us easily. Are there any other questions now?" As he said, Roger asked again with a pretentious question. Seeing that no one was in doubt, he ordered: "Tom, you will be responsible for making some tricks in the meal later to make the movements at night as small as possible. We will do it tonight."

After giving instructions to his subordinates, Roger asked his subordinates to scatter and walked straight to the largest tent in the station. When Roger walked to the tent, he suddenly heard the sound of talking from the tent, and immediately stopped, lowered his breath, and listened to the movement inside.

"Teacher, I think we should be wary of that Roger!" A young voice sounded in the tent, saying.

"What?" Jefferson was obviously thinking about other things now, but hesitated for a moment, and asked in a little puzzled manner: "Why? Wilson, tell me your reasons."

The young man said his suspicion and said, "Teacher, after you found the map of the animal skin, I found that Roger's face was not right. Later, he suddenly went to the camp opposite and talked with the oriental people hired in the camp opposite for a long time. When I came back, I asked him what he had talked about, but he

”

"Okay! Wilson, don't say it!" Jefferson suddenly interrupted the student and said angrily: "Roger had already greeted me before going to the opposite camp. He was to avoid any conflicts between our two teams during archaeology in the future. He went to discuss with each other in advance, not what you thought. Wilson, I know you have prejudices against Roger's subordinates, but Roger himself was not at fault. He has a very good reputation in the industry, and I have worked with him several times, and each cooperation is very pleasant. This time I have found that clue. I don't want any surprises inside us because of the conflict between you and those people, do you know?"

The students were silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, teacher! I still retain my opinion of those people, but I will not take the initiative to provoke them."

After that, the students did not stay in the tent and turned around and walked out. Roger took the lead and hid in the dark of the tent. After the students left, it took a while before they walked into the tent. He used the excuse to ask Jefferson for dinner. Then he pretended to ask casually about the progress of the map cracking. Perhaps the students' words just played some role. Jefferson, who had always been talkative, just vaguely moved the topic away and carefully put the map in his arms like a thief. When Roger was not paying attention, he put a pistol in his pocket.

While eating, the atmosphere around was a bit strange. The originally talkative people didn't say anything now. Although the other uninformed people were a little confused, they didn't ask much. At this time, the guard outside the camp suddenly shouted a few words, sounding like he was stopping outsiders from getting close to the camp. Not long after, he saw the guard inexplicably brought the two Chinese people to the camp, and then walked out without saying anything.

When Roger was about to question why his subordinates brought outsiders in, the young man among the two Chinese suddenly said in English: "I'm disturbing! I'm just staying for a night!"
