"The professor may say something directly." I did not admit it or deny it. After all, the organization of the Red Opium Bureau is too mysterious, and I dare not make arbitrary assertions.

Professor Yu slowly restrained his smile, frowned slightly, and said, "The situation in your Xia family is not optimistic now. Didn't your grandfather call you?"

Something happened to the Xia family?

I frowned and didn't say anything.

Professor Yu sighed and asked me, "Do you want to hear a story?"

"Professor Yu, please speak!" I felt aroused in my heart, knowing that what he said next would inevitably be related to the Xia family and me.

Sure enough, I heard Professor Yu say, "Thirty-seven years ago, 72 years ago, colorful auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in a certain place in the capital, shaped like a dragon. As soon as this strange phenomenon appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of all parties."

"The Japanese, M country, and Germany... sent people to investigate one after another, trying to obtain antiques and cultural relics. At that time, the five major families all sent a group of people to form a national protection alliance, which was nominally to protect national property from being plagiarized by foreign traitors, but in fact, they also coveted the treasures in the Thirteen Tombs."

Speaking of this, Professor Yu sighed lightly and said, "However, when these people arrived here one after another, their connection with the outside disappeared overnight."

"Three months later, five men with thin faces and skinny faces escaped from a cave ten miles away. However, not long after, all the people who came back disappeared, and no one knew where they went. Some people said that these five people were the heads of the five families..."

Five major families?!

The National Protection Alliance?!

According to the information I have investigated earlier, there are rumors that the National Protection Alliance, which was once sensational in the previous dynasty, was part of the Red Opium Bureau. However, according to Professor Yu, these five major families are clearly tomb robbers, and they are doing unknown things under the name of National Protection...

"The place in the capital you mentioned is the Thirteen Tombs." At that time, I wanted to find out the origin of the Red Opium Bureau, so I checked a lot of information, including the matter of the National Protection Alliance. Although I don't know which ones are true and which are false.

But often rumors evolve from the truth, although it may be refuted by the truth.

No wonder I can find very little information, especially about the Thirteen Tombs incident. According to the information, shortly after the incident of the National Protection Alliance, any news about the National Protection Alliance appeared on the road would be erased by an invisible force, and the sensational League of Protection Alliance disappeared into the long river of history.

Behind all this, is the mysterious force that invisibly cleans up the mess, the legendary Red Poppy Bureau?

"There are the Xia family among the five major families, right?"

Professor Yu nodded.

I don’t know what to say at this moment, because after more than seventy years, many truths have been deliberately erased, especially the Internet era was opened in 1998, and there was no way to investigate the previous events.

The family actually has such a big secret, but I know nothing!

"What is the secret in the Thirteen Tombs?" I asked after a long time.

"No, there is no problem with the Thirteen Tombs." Professor Yu looked at me and said, "The one with the problem is - the Fourteen Tombs!"

"Fourteen Tombs?" I was slightly surprised. Are there actually fourteen Tombs?

Professor Yu nodded and said, "This matter is too involved and I can't explain it clearly for a while. As long as you know, many people have still had grudges about what happened back then over the past seventy years. What happened in the Fourteen Tombs? What did your Xia family find out from it? No one knows it yet."

"So, someone wants to start from me?" I sneered.

Professor Yu said earnestly: "Comrade Xiaoxia, you are a smart person. You should know that as the national archaeological department, we will never harm you. Similarly, no place will be more authoritative and safer than us. What we want to know is just the truth, drowned in the long river of history. The Fourteen Tombs are just one of them. There are more and more things in this world that we cannot explain."

"It's getting late." As soon as Professor Yu finished speaking, a knock on the door came, and Jian Bin's voice came in clearly, "Professor, the captain and the others are going to set off."

"Then I won't disturb you much, I'll talk next time." I stood up and nodded to Professor Yu, then walked out.

Although I want to know more, the most urgent thing at the moment is to act with Gu Chaoge and the others. I want to see what is causing trouble in Qiyou Mountain! Although it is very mysterious, I have a premonition that I will definitely gain something this time!

"What did the old man say to you? It took so long to come out!" As soon as I came out, the bone-transforming dragon pulled me aside and said dissatisfiedly.

"Pick up the things and I'll tell you on the way."

"OK!" The bone-carrying dragon picked up the backpack on the ground, greeted Qiao Luba and Needle Shenqi, and walked out with me. Outside the door, Gu Chaoge, Feng Jitian and Bailou had already started to act.

In the following time, I saw Gu Chaoge still holding a compass the size of a palm with one hand, detecting while walking, with a focused expression and walking very fast.

Feng Jitian and Bailou, one with expressionless face and the other with a serious look, followed Gu Chaoge without squinting eyes.

Jian Bin, Qiao Luba, and Needle Magic were walking in the middle, while Huabing Dragon and I were at the end of the team. I tried to tell what Professor Yu told me to Huabing Dragon in the simplest language, and at the same time I also added my own analysis and insights.

In the previous dynasty, the five major families that formed the National Protection Alliance, in addition to our Xia family, must also have the Zheng family where the bone-transforming dragon is located! As for the other three families, I don’t know much about it.

"I'll just go, the secret is indeed not good. When I go back, I'll help you check the affairs of the five major families. Oh, and the matter of the Fourteen Tombs. I think my second uncle should know something!" After hearing this, the Bone-Crafting Dragon assured me very seriously.

"Okay." I patted the bone-carrying dragon on the shoulder. It was my brother for many years, and there was no need to say any extra words.

"Xiao Ming, oh, why are you hitting me?" The bone-transforming dragon looked at me with a resentful look on his face.

I glared at him and said, "I have told you so many times, don't call me a nickname!"

"Take! I obviously called that when I was a child!" The bone-carrying dragon curled his lips and gritted his teeth.

"Stop talking nonsense, what did you want to say just now?" I gave him a blank look and said.

"I, I, I was interrupted by you, and I forgot the fuck!" The corner of the bone-carrying dragon twitched.

I:"……"
