Zhou Xuan sat in the tunnel under Longmen Inn, pretending to be bored and knocked on the watermelon seeds. He was called by Gu Shaotang to discuss the matter, and grabbed a handful of watermelon seeds in the kitchen. Although it is the Ming Dynasty, watermelon has been transmitted.

From the name, we can tell that watermelon is not produced in the Central Plains, but comes from the west. However, the origin of watermelon is generally considered Africa. According to modern scholars' investigation, there are still large areas of native wild watermelon growing in the Sudan, North Africa, and it is now considered the center of origin of watermelon.

Later, the ancient Egyptians began to plant watermelons, gradually introduced them from the Mediterranean coast to Northern Europe, then entered the Middle East, and from the Western Regions to the Khitan, hence the name.

The word "watermelon" was first seen in the book "The Record of the Captives" written by Hu Qiao in the Five Dynasties. Hu Qiao was originally the secretary of Xiao Han, the governor of Xuanwu Army. He followed Xiao Han into the Khitan. Later, Xiao Han was killed and Hu Qiao was unable to return to the country and became a prisoner.

He stayed in the Khitan for seven years before returning to the Central Plains. After he returned, he wrote the book "The Record of the Captives" based on his experiences in the Khitan. The book records as follows: He entered the plains, had many plants and trees, and began to eat watermelons. Hu Qiao tasted fresh in the Khitan and ate watermelons, which did not mean that watermelons were introduced into the Central Plains in the Five Dynasties.

From the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, there were no records of watermelons in various historical records. The Song Dynasty was economically developed. If watermelons had been introduced to the Central Plains at this time, they should be recorded in books. Watermelons were truly introduced to the Central Plains and were planted on a large scale during the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time, Hu Qiao, the first melon eater, had been nearly two hundred years since he was the first melon eater, so watermelons are quite common in the border areas, let alone watermelon seeds.

Zhou Xuan looked at the tunnel in secret, and the space was really quite large. There was even groundwater here, which was really a Feng Shui treasure land in the desert. I don’t know how much effort and effort Ling Yanqiu spent at that time, but he made wedding dresses for others.

In fact, if he was in charge of the main force of the West Factory, it would not be difficult to kill Zhao Huaian and others. But if Ling Yanqiu knew about this, he would definitely stay with him. If there was such a madman in secret, it would be a bit uncomfortable.

Although he could let "Su Huirong" take action and kill Ling Yanqiu. However, he did not want Zhao Huaian, Ling Yanqiu, Gu Shaotang and others to die, but instead wanted to conquer them for their own use.

These people have a lot of luck, and it would be a pity to kill monsters. If he did the opposite, he might have more luck, and he really didn't want to kill Zhao Huaian. He knew that when he saw that familiar face, it would be difficult for him to make that decision.

After all, he was his master and brother, but this time he was not lucky and became an opponent. If it were not necessary, he would not have killed Zhao Huaian.

The inn shopkeeper Lao Chai sat in front of Zhou Xuan smoking a dry cigarette, waiting for the others to come down. As soon as he looked up, he saw the three inns running down from the entrance of the cave, and he couldn't help but frown and asked.

"Hey, before you three come down, have you ever asked someone to take the wind?"

The guy Ercai replied to Lao Chai.

"Everything is right, the Tatar brothers are staring at them."

Zhou Xuan just took a look at the three of them casually, and then continued to knock on melon seeds.

Lao Chai shouted into the tunnel behind Zhou Xuan that was covered with Bu Meng.

"Boss, everyone is here."

Gu Shaotang pulled open the curtain and walked out quickly.

Lao Chai and others were still talking and laughing just now, but they immediately stood up when they saw Gu Shaotang. Only Zhou Xuan ignored Gu Shaotang and continued to knock on melon seeds silently. He looked at Gu Shaotang secretly, but he was muttering in his heart.

"She is young and has a very high prestige."

Gu Shaotang's family is a bandit, so she was influenced by her since she was a child. When she grew up, she naturally started doing this business. However, she usually does a relatively responsible business and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Although Lao Chai and the others are older than Gu Shaotang, their status in the world is not as good as hers.

Gu Shaotang sat down with a big sword and a golden horse, raised his hand to everyone and said.

"sit."

She is an intermediary, but the others are not very familiar with each other. So after that, she introduced each other to everyone.

"I will introduce this business to all brothers. The one who fought in front of him was Shuoyang Liang Cai, the vanguard on the left and right were Huanggang from Pingding Mountain, Ercai and Xin Ping, and the one who led us was Bu Cangzhou, who called him Fenglidao in the world. This letter was sent by him, and it was..."

At this moment, Chang Xiaowen happened to take Hagang Tongga in, and Zhou Xuan pointed at Chang Xiaowen and said to everyone.

"There is also the Deadly Imperial Xiaowen, the Tatar brothers with her."

Chang Xiaowen ran down in two or three steps, pointed at Hagang Tongga with his back to the table and introduced with a smile.

"My subordinate, Hagang Tongga."

Hagang Tongga also grinned and nodded to everyone.

After seeing that everyone was full of people, Zhou Xuan did not knock on melon seeds anymore, and looked at everyone seriously and said.

"The Longmen area was the capital of Dabaishang Kingdom three hundred years ago. The Mongols used to..."

But before he finished speaking, Chang Xiaowen interrupted and interrupted him.

"then……"

Zhou Xuan looked at Chang Xiaowen helplessly and said.

"You can't wait for me to finish."

Chang Xiaowen was slightly stunned when he heard Zhou Xuan's words, and then he said with a free and easy smile.

"Okay, I'll let you say it."

Everyone looked at Zhou Xuan who was free from nature and just smiled and said nothing. They had long seen that Zhou Xuan was a little frivolous, but as long as it did not affect the serious business.

Zhou Xuan waved his hand to Chang Xiaowen and said.

"Forget it, let you talk. So I won't be too irritating and I'll knock melon seeds."

In fact, the news about this treasure was obtained by Fenglidao from Chang Xiaowen. How could ordinary people in the Guanwen know about this?

Chang Xiaowen smiled slightly, and then continued to say to everyone.

"At that time, the Mongols sent troops to surround Heishui City for a year, and only 108 soldiers were left in the lonely city. Before they died, they sealed all their children, women and gold in the palace and sacrificed their lives together. Heishui City was flooded with wind and sand overnight."

In fact, two monuments were left in Heishui City, but after the monument was unearthed, it was regarded as an unknown object by the locals.

The dragon gate is constantly winding and sanding all year round, which is said to be related to the inscription. The stone tablet is engraved with the Western Xia text, but due to the erosion of wind and sand, only the four words "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" can be identified. The others are already blurred.

Chang Xiaowen knew the mystery of this stone tablet and then explained to everyone.

"The words on the stone tablet should actually be pronounced in reverse. It is the Flying Dragon of the Stone Sea, and the Stone Gate. It is the Stone Gate every sixty years. The Flying Dragon is the Black Sandstorm, and the Stone Gate is the gate of the Dabai Shang Kingdom Palace. Every sixty years, the Black Sandstorm will blow the desert open, and the palace buried underground will break out of the sand."

"At that time, we will be able to find the treasures in the palace."
