In a short period of time, countless media reporters and experts were attracted.

Zhou Jiansheng, who had previously been in disbelief at Su Ran's discovery, now looked at the reporter's report in the news and suddenly felt as if he had suffered some kind of blow.

This is impossible.

Did he really find it?

Oh my god, what on earth is happening? How is this possible?
You know, in Zhou Jiansheng's opinion, a tomb abroad is very far away.

Why would the kings, princes, generals and ministers in ancient times go to such a desperate place for no reason?
But Su Ran really proved it to everyone with actual actions.

The tomb in front of us is not extremely magnificent, but its elegant atmosphere makes people feel as if they have returned to that distant era in the next moment.

Although the corridor is slightly mottled, the patterns and carvings on it are so exquisite.

Zhao Mengde was very surprised, his hands were shaking with excitement. He took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures continuously, capturing every important corner.

"Hurry up, hurry up, take pictures quickly. These can be compiled into an atlas later. This is definitely a large-scale ancient Chinese city, and it must be a large ruins."

The discovery of the ruins made the audience excited.

"Oh my god, Brother Su, you are so lucky that you can find ruins here?"

The audience was so excited that Su Ran didn't know what to say for a moment.

Rather than being a ruin, it is more like a relatively large tomb.

But now there is a problem that has been bothering everyone.

So who is the owner of this site?
To be honest, a tomb that appears abroad must have extraordinary significance.

Especially its origin and the identity of the tomb owner, which makes people even more obsessed and want to know the answer immediately.

Su Ran is the same, and Zhao Mengde is even more so.

After deduction, experts believe that the tomb owner is most likely a general who died in the battle against the Huns in the late Western Han Dynasty.

"A general from the Western Han Dynasty? Oh my god, is the time span that far away?"

"No, this is true or not. If it is true, it would be very interesting."

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room rolled in like a tide.

The audience was very curious and interested in the experts' analysis.

In their opinion, the Western Han Dynasty is so far away from the present that it is hard to imagine if the owner here is really from that period.

What is the basis for that?

At this moment Su Ran couldn't help but look at Zhao Mengde. Zhao Mengde was also well aware of the doubts in everyone's heart.

As the only expert in charge of the entire excavation site, he cleared his throat and said calmly:

"At that time, Li Ling led 5 Han soldiers to fight deep behind enemy lines, but was eventually defeated and captured. He made great contributions to the Xiongnu and died of illness in the area of ​​today's Xiong State. Perhaps this is his tomb."

"But the truth has yet to be further confirmed."

In fact, what he said was not completely fictional. Many things can be verified by opening the history books.

In the late Western Han Dynasty, the relationship between Han and Xiongnu continued to be tense, and the Xiongnu repeatedly attacked the Han border.

In 99 BC, Emperor Wu of Han sent Generals Li Guangli and Li Ling to lead troops to conquer and guard the border.

Li Ling, who was in his early twenties at the time, was the grandson of the famous "Flying General" Li Guang.

He showed extraordinary military talent and desire for honor since he was a child. He asked Emperor Wu of Han to go to war, confident that he could win.

Seeing that he was full of ambition and ambition, Emperor Wu of Han allocated 5 soldiers to him and asked him to give it a try.

Li Ling happily led his troops to Junji Mountain to camp and began his first independent command.

At that time, the Huns frequently came and went here.

Soon, 3 Hun troops attacked. Li Ling rose to the challenge, set up ambushes, and used them skillfully to annihilate thousands of Huns.

When the battle report reached the Chanyu, the Xiongnu urgently dispatched 8 troops to besiege.

Li Ling judged that our army was outnumbered and had to order a retreat. However, a traitor leaked our army's strengths to the enemy, letting the Xiongnu know that our army had no reinforcements. The Xiongnu took the opportunity to attack fiercely, and Li Ling led the remnants to break out but failed, so he had no choice but to surrender.

Although Li Ling won the first battle by defeating a larger force with a smaller one, he was ultimately defeated due to being outnumbered.

"What happened next?"

The audience's curiosity has been aroused, so they are very curious and looking forward to it.

Zhao Mengde also continued to tell the story like a storyteller:

"The news of Li Ling's surrender quickly reached the court, and all officials demanded severe punishment for this treasonous act. However, Emperor Wu of Han did not comment at first, but Sima Qian supported Li Ling and said that he had no choice. Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu not only did not listen, but also punished Sima Qian."

"Later, Emperor Wu thought about the matter again and felt that the situation at that time was indeed extremely unfavorable to Li Ling, so he sent an envoy to bring him back to the court.

The messenger reported that Li Ling wanted to train soldiers for the Xiongnu to counterattack the Han territory, which completely angered Emperor Wu of Han. As a result, the entire family of Li Ling was executed.

"After hearing the news, Li Ling was so angry that he could not recover and became completely disillusioned with the Han Dynasty. The Xiongnu Chanyu valued him very much and made him the Right School King and even married his daughter to him.

Li Ling grew stronger in the Xiongnu and made great contributions. But he could never forget his motherland, and in his later years he stayed away from the Han territory and no longer fought against the Han soldiers.

"In 74 BC, he died in the area of ​​present-day Xiong State when he was seriously ill.

Because of his great contributions to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu built a magnificent mausoleum for him, which may be the one we see now.

Zhao Mengde's narration was quite clear, as if he had actually experienced that era.

Maybe this is why he, as an expert, knows more than ordinary people.

At this moment, Su Ran was touching his chin with both hands, as if he was thinking about something.

One viewer asked in a comment: "Why, Brother Su, do you think there is something wrong with this tomb?"

There is no problem at all.

Su Ran is not a particularly conceited person. Since Zhao Mengde said so, he must have his reasons. There is a high probability that the tomb here is Li Ling's tomb.

However, we still need to continue digging deeper, because only in this way can we prove the identity of the other party, so Su Ran began to join in this work himself.

He first scanned the surroundings with his eyes and found that there seemed to be some pattern painted on the wall in front of him.

After selecting this location, Su Ran began to dig the area directly with tools.

The whole action was very careful, and no place that he dug was damaged.

Soon, when Su Ran finished his work, he opened his mouth in surprise and took a few steps back.

The other staff members looked over and cast surprised looks.

Because they saw murals and carvings vividly showing a general's heroic image on the battlefield. (End of this chapter)
