Chapter 321 Setting up your own trap

The two came to the office. At this time, the staff saw the two coming and hurried over to report the situation. It turned out that the investigation of the descendants of Dr. Ans had already achieved results. As a result, Dr. Ans actually had no descendants. His only daughter had passed away long ago because she was not married. Ye Tianchen received this news and affirmed what she was thinking. He was about to speak. At this time, the phone in the office rang, and the phone ringed quickly. Ye Tianchen and Princess Mary looked at each other, thinking in his heart, was it a call from the kidnapper?

Ye Tianchen gave Princess Mary a look and asked Princess Mary to answer the phone first, and the staff started to act again to see if they could track the source of the call through the phone. Slowly speaking, try to delay time

After Ye Tianchen whispered to Princess Mary, Princess Mary answered the phone

Hello Princess Mary answers the phone

Is it a princess? Is the Qin King ready for the bone mirror? When he heard the sound, Princess Mary's face changed. Ye Tianchen knew that it was the kidnapper who called him.

Not yet, give me a few more days. Princess Mary said

It seems that you have no sincerity at all, so just ask Ye Tianchen to listen to the phone. The other party said to Princess Mary.

Oh, OK Princess Mary didn't expect the other party to know Ye Tianchen. She looked at Ye Tianchen with a confused look on her face, and then handed the phone to Ye Tianchen and said she wanted to find you

Ye Tianchen was not very surprised. Since the other party dared to kidnap the queen, it means that their preparations and information were very meticulous. When he came to the small country, there was no reason to be airtight. He took the phone and said to the other side: I am Ye Tianchen, when did you let my mother and the queen go?

Don't worry, only when we get the King of Qin's bone mirror, we will definitely let them go. The other party said on the phone: I'll give you another ten days

How can you do ten days? Everyone knows that the King of Qin Bone Diagram is currently in the ancient tombs of the Western Regions. If we want to find the King of Qin Bone Diagram, it will definitely take some effort. It is better for us to make a deal.

Ye Tianchen thought for a while and said, the first purpose now is to delay time

Transaction? When the other party heard that Ye Tianchen actually dared to make a deal with him, he laughed wildly on the phone, "What kind of transaction?"

Let's go to the Western Regions to find the King of Qin's bone mirror. When you get the King of Qin's bone mirror, you will put my mother and the queen.

Ye Tianchen's purpose is not to give the King of Qin's bone mirror to the other party. Now he has used the power of several countries and cannot find their place. The only thing he can do is to use the King of Qin's bone mirror to take the initiative to lure them out. If he goes to the Western Regions to find the King of Qin's bone mirror, according to the cowhide records of the royal family of the small country, it is definitely a matter of danger. And the other party is so eager to get the King of Qin's bone mirror, then it is better to use the King of Qin's bone mirror together. First, you can know the safety of your mother and the queen, and second, you can also find a way to deal with them on the way to find them. The only thing you have to do now is to inspire them and make them agree. You can send more people, don't worry, my mother and the queen are in your hands. It is impossible for us to make any tricks. You shouldn't tell me, you are not worried, right? If that's true, then I'll misread you.

A series of excitement is expected to be fooled. After Ye Tianchen finished speaking, he prayed silently in his heart and waited for the other party's answer.

After listening to Ye Tianchen's words on the other end of the phone, he was quiet for a while, and then said: I heard that it is difficult for you to deal with. It seems that this is true. I really want to meet you.

Since I want to meet me, this is an opportunity

Ye Tianchen was secretly happy in his heart and continued: We should go to a few less people here, and you should send a few people together, and then go to find the King of Qin to take a bone mirror. Anyway, the hostages are in your hands, so we won't do anything.

OK, I promise you

As soon as Ye Tianchen finished speaking, the other party immediately said, but you can only go to three people, and you can set out first, waiting for us in Urumqi, Xinjiang. If we find out what you are doing, I will kill your mother and the queen immediately.

Ye Tianchen did not expect the other party to agree so quickly. Suddenly, the secret joy turned into a hint of suspicion. Could it be that the other party had any conspiracy?

After thinking about it carefully, I didn’t feel it. It seemed that I had to follow what I had thought before. OK, I agree to your request. Then how do you contact me then?

Don't worry, as long as you are sure that you have only been to three people, we will contact you naturally

The other party said, by the way, time doesn't wait for anyone, I think you'd better set off early

After the other party added this sentence, he hung up the phone

Ye Tianchen hung up the phone and told Princess Mary what he had thought about before. Why did he hand over the kidnappers to the Western Regions? Princess Mary said after hearing this: It’s all that is the case at the moment. As long as some of them are transferred, maybe there is more hope for finding them. And if you go to the King of Qin to look at the bone mirror together, you can know the other party’s strength.

Um

Ye Tianchen agreed with Princess Mary's statement. The key point now is that the other party only allows us to go here for only three people, and we must go there. For the other two, Ye Tianchen originally planned to call Xu Yuele, Zhao Lianna or Jiang Shuxian and Li Muling to go there. He was about to say his thoughts, but was interrupted by Princess Mary. Since the other party asked us to go here for only three, it seems that we need to make a long-term plan. You must go there. With me, my sister-in-law probably will go there.

When Ye Tianchen heard this, he sighed in his heart. If the princess and the imperial concubine really go, then this trip is even more dangerous. However, the queen is their relatives. If they are not allowed to go, it is unreasonable. It seems that this trip really requires long-term planning. Then princess, ask the imperial concubine. After confirming, we will set off. After all, time does not wait for anyone. The later the safety of my mother and your mother is, the more dangerous it is.

Ye Tianchen had no choice but to do it. Now he could only take one step at a time. At worst, he could find a way to get the King of Qin's bone mirror. Of course, the premise is that the King of Qin's bone mirror really exists, and he is not afraid of what the other party will do. As long as there is a King of Qin's bone mirror, it means that there is hope for saving his mother and the queen. Ye Tianchen prayed in his heart, Mom, you must not be in trouble.

Princess Mary nodded and asked Ye Tianchen to go to the room for a rest first. She asked her sister-in-law, Princess Tracy, and set off. After Ye Tianchen agreed, she returned to the room she rested yesterday alone, simply packed up the two clothes she brought, and began to think carefully about the subsequent countermeasures. After all, this is the trap she set up, and Ye Tianchen must grasp it.

In a narrow sense, the Western Regions refer to Yumen Pass, west of Yangguan, and the Pamir Mountains, east of the Pamir Plateau, east of the Balkash Lake, south of Xinjiang, while in a broad sense, the Western Regions refer to all areas that can be reached through the narrow sense of the Western Regions, including central Asia, western Asia, and the Indian Peninsula. The Western Regions in the Qing Dynasty ranged from west of Dunhuang in the east, to Balkash Lake and the Pamir Mountains in the west, to Lhasa border in the south, to Russia and the left and right Kazakh border in the north, to the southwest of Qinghai, and to many northern Tibet areas.

After the Han Dynasty, the general term for the Western Regions Books of Xinjiang and Central Asia and other regions west of Yumen Pass today refers to a detailed explanation of works related to Buddhism.

1. Since the Han Dynasty, the general term for Yumen Pass and Yangguan is to the east of the Pamir Mountains. In a narrow sense, all regions that can be reached through the narrow sense of the Western Regions include central Asia, western India Peninsula, eastern Europe and northern Africa, and later it also refers to the western region of my country.

"Book of Han: Preface to the Biography of the Western Regions": The Western Regions were first published during the Xiaowu period. It was divided into thirty-six countries. Later, it was divided into more than fifty countries. They were all west of the Xiongnu and south of Wusun. There were mountains in the north and south, rivers in the center, more than 6,000 miles from east to west, and more than 1,000 miles from north to south. In the east, it was connected to the Han Dynasty, Yumen, Yangguan, and in the west, it was limited to the Congling Mountains.

1. Southern Dynasties, "Snow Fu" by Xie Huilian of the Song Dynasty: I heard that the Snow Palace was built in the East Kingdom, and the Snow Mountains stood in the Western Regions

Volume 4 of "Lang Qian Jiwen" by Chen Kangqi of Qing Dynasty: At that time, Duke Wenzhong of Lin had already given a ring from the Western Regions, and Wenzong specially ordered the fields to be raised

2. Like the West, the West, the Han Mourong "Theory": The reason why Buddha's traces in the middle and strange stars in the Western Regions is that it is very interesting

Yun Jing of the Qing Dynasty "The Insidious Record of the Wenchang Palace Stele": Later generations of Buddha's family flourished, and the gods they worshiped were all entrusted to the Western Regions and the so-called four worlds.

3. Refers to the legendary place where the Queen Mother of the West lived in Tang Dynasty Wu Yun's "Buxu Ci": Suddenly creating the Western Regions and having fun at the Golden Mother's house

Before Emperor Wu of Han, there were many small countries there, and some small countries north of the Tianshan Mountains were controlled and enslaved by the Huns.

The connotation of the Western Regions is mostly referred to in ancient Chinese literature on many countries and regions west of Yumen Pass and Yangguan. Under the influence of the Silk Road, the Western Regions were specifically referred to most of the current Xinjiang and Central Asia under the jurisdiction of the Chinese governments arranged by the Han and Tang dynasties. It is located in the center of the Eurasian continent and is an important part of the Silk Road. Its cultural characteristics can still be seen in the ruins of the current Xinjiang region and the murals of Dunhuang, China.

The place plays an important role as a transit station for trade and cultural exchanges between Eastern and Western countries. The Western Regions countries are mainly distributed in the edges of the Tarim Basin, Turpan Basin and the north Junggar Basin. They use water dissolved from the highlands to live on oasis. In addition, the Tarim River and Lop Nur are the main agricultural and living water sources in the Western Regions. Therefore, the prosperity of the country in this region is closely related to water. According to the judgment of some archaeologists, Loulan is the main reason for its demise due to the diverting of rivers and the migration of Lop Nur.

At the same time, due to geographical factors, the rise and fall of countries in the Western Regions are easily affected by climate change. Since the 11th century, the climate in East Asia has gradually become colder, and the local climate has also been strongly affected. Trade and trade through the region is more willing to go through the Southern Silk Road, which has gradually decreased trade in the Western Regions and countries have also declined as a result.

According to research, basic national forms appeared in the Western Regions in the 17th century BC, and merchants in Afghanistan traded lapis lazuli. In addition, the Hetian jade produced in the Kingdom of Khotan (near Hotan County, Xinjiang, China) was also excavated in the tomb of the Shang Dynasty emperor Wu Ding, indicating that people had settled in the thirteenth century BC.
