Chapter 743 How about I give you a way out?
Bai Wanwan looked at Batu and asked, "You captured my brother, why didn't you hurt him?"
Batu frowned and said, "We in Xunxu Country never do anything that harms the world."
Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "Do you think your Xunxu Kingdom can still rise?"
Batu lowered his head. Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "How about this! I'll give you a way out?"
Batu frowned at her and said, "What way out can you give us? It's just a child. Why should I trust you?"
Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "I am the magistrate of Qingshui County. Do you know Qingshui County?"
"Qingshui County? I heard recently that someone came out of Qingshui County and managed the county very well. You...could it be you?" Batu couldn't believe his eyes.
Bai Wanwan smiled shyly and said, "Yes! It's me. Are you interested in bringing your people to my Qingshui County?"
Bai Wanwan really needs people. She needs people to farm for her, and the farm also needs people.
Batu blinked and looked at Bai Wanwan, then saw a large number of Parthians rushing over. Each of them was holding a weapon in his hand, either a spear or a sword, and they were all wearing armor.
Thousands of people came at once and surrounded the camp tightly.
An Xi led the way out, staring at Bai Wanwan, and said, "You are the eldest princess, right? Leave immediately, and I can spare your life."
Bai Wanwan looked at Batu and said, "What do you say? This is the last chance."
The leader of Anxi laughed loudly and said:
"Batu, I've been looking for you for a long time, watching you for almost a month, and finally found your location.
I didn't expect the imperial tomb to be located right here. It's truly amazing!"
When the Parthian Queen died, the circumstances were actually quite special.
She did not stay in the original territory of the Parthian Empire. Instead, she took her people to this area which did not belong to the Great Qi at that time, settled down there, and built her own mausoleum.
No one knows why she chose to build her mausoleum here, and no one knows where the mausoleum is hidden.
I only heard that the mausoleum was built in a very grand manner, and the queen almost spent most of the money and manpower of the Parthian Empire to build it.
The treasures inside are countless, with gold bars and silver nuggets piled up like small mountains, and ornaments made of various gems.
There were also beds carved from whole pieces of jade, armor inlaid with pearls, and even boxes for storing things were made of pure gold.
Not only are there these valuable items, it is said that there are also many treasures unique to the Parthian Empire.
Folk legends about the Parthian Queen's tomb have long been passed down as mysterious and magical.
Some people say that the entrance to the mausoleum is hidden in the fog of a deep valley, and one has to unlock an ancient mechanism to enter?
Some people also say that the burial objects inside can bring dead trees back to life, and even the floor tiles are mixed with gold powder.
But no one can explain how the founding queen of the Parthian Empire led her people away from her homeland and carved a mountain to build a tomb in this unfamiliar place.
But what is more admirable than the mystery of the mausoleum is the queen herself.
According to historical records, her political skills were more ruthless and decisive than any male monarch of the same period.
As soon as he ascended the throne, he put down three rebellions in the country, and expanded the territory by thousands of miles through marriage and military force, turning the loose tribal alliance into the powerful Parthian Empire.
Even Bai Wanwan, who had read many history books, couldn't help but wonder every time she saw the records about her. This queen didn't seem like a person from that era.
She had people make sealed pottery jars that could store grain, which was much more advanced than the storage technology at the time.
They also established a system of "household taxation", which was so clear and organized that it seemed to be based on modern laws.
Once I read in a book that she "ordered craftsmen to cast hollow iron pipes to bring mountain spring water into the city."
Bai Wanwan even closed the book and sighed, "How can this be some ancient queen? She must have traveled through time, right?"
If it weren't for the clear records of her birth and death dates in history books, and the unearthed stone tablets proving her achievements.
Bai Wanwan felt that this queen, like herself, had fallen into this chaotic world from another era.
So Bai Wanwan was particularly curious about what the queen's tomb looked like, and also wanted to verify whether she was a modern person.
Batu looked at Bai Wanwan and suddenly knelt down and said, "As long as you can save us, we, the people of Xunxumu, are willing to recognize you as our master."
The leader of the Parthian Empire laughed heartily and said:
“Batu, I advise you to hand over the treasure map. Do you really think a child can save you? She only brought thousands of people with her.
I brought more than 7,000 people with me, and she was no match for me at all.
Hey! Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.”
Bai Wanwan said with a half-smile, "This place belongs to Qingshui County. What if I say I want to take charge? After all, I'm the county magistrate here!"
"If you insist on intervening, I will kill you from today on. Come, arrest them all.
And him, if I'm not mistaken, he should be the eighteenth prince.
"We are so lucky today." The man said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, thousands of Parthian soldiers behind him moved in unison, and the crisp sounds of long swords being unsheathed merged into one.
Bai Wanwan snorted coldly and said:
"I advise you to think twice before you act, this is the territory of Da Qi.
If any of my men or camp are harmed today, your entire Parthian nation will not be able to compensate."
The leader suddenly threw his head back and laughed, his laughter full of disdain:
"So what if we are in the territory of Great Qi? In terms of military strength, we, the Parthian Empire, are a hundred times stronger than you!
Moreover, if you died here today, in the wilderness, who would know? And who could produce evidence to say that we killed you?
He suddenly raised his hand, and the soldier behind him immediately pushed his spear forward another half inch:
"Once you are all dealt with, I will find some traces of bandits to frame you.
By then, the court of the Great Qi will only think that it is a rebellion by bandits. Who would suspect us, Anxi?
Batu, please hand over the treasure map! If you are willing to hand it over, I will spare your life."
Batu choked sadly:
"Bah! I would rather throw it away than give the treasure map to you. Who do you think you are?
If I give you the treasure map, my Xunxumu Kingdom will be finished."
The leader looked at him and said:
"Then what do you think you Xunxu people are?
They are just bastards who hang out with beasts all day. It doesn't matter if you don't hand over the treasure map. We all know where the tomb is anyway."
Batu sneered and said, "Are you sure the queen's tomb is in this desolate place?"
Bai Wanwan said with a half-smile:
"Are you sure you want to cause trouble on my territory by bringing these people with you?
I'll count to three, and if you don't leave, I won't be polite."
The leader laughed heartily and said to the maids behind Bai Wanwan, "Wow! These maids of the princess are quite pretty. How about we try them later?"
