”We will absolutely not let them act alone. I don't believe that they will dare to steal things in front of us!”
The left side had plotted with Shang Tai for a long time. When the two of them returned to the camp, breakfast had already been prepared.
However, thinking back carefully, the mural he stole was actually hidden behind the Buddha's back. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been discovered so quickly!
As a result, when he was eating, he discovered that there was nothing abnormal between Shang Tai and his left side.
There was so much more food and necessities than Sai Mouerbeike and the rest in the desert, even though they were only at the King level. The King level of the Expedition was truly extraordinary, their supplies were much better than Sai Mouerbeike and the rest.
The true archaeological work began during the day. The people started with measuring the distance, area, and number of the caves, and then began to clean up the accumulated sand in some of the major caves.
Hundreds of people started getting busy in Mogao's cave, pulling ropes, digging out sand, drawing, and taking photographs … There were also some soldiers in the logistics camp who had to let go of their scouts to investigate the surrounding mountains and rivers.
This time, Shang Tai and the people on the left secretly ordered their subordinates to stare at them one-on-one, they would absolutely not allow the British to move alone.
Samuel had been depressed by the events of the day. There were several times when he saw the exquisite murals and statues of the Buddha, but there was no chance for him to kill them even if he wanted to.
When evening came, what was even more unimaginable to the British was that in the morning, they sent guides to report to Dunhuang County. In the evening, another ten yamen runners and twenty veterans were sent to help.
With more people here, Sai Mouerbeike would not even have the chance to make his move!
Although Shang Tai did not reveal his identity, he still carried Zuo Zongtang's letter. All the officials in the city had to cooperate fully, and the small Dunhuang County was a poor official who could not stay in the Central Plains. He did not have any connections, so he was forced to come here to work for the sect in order to gain experience.
This place belonged to the late Qing. It was a place where no one could afford to offend the county magistrate, so when they saw Commander Zuo's order, they immediately used it as an imperial decree.
When Shang Tai saw that the reinforcements had arrived, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered Dunhuang County to prepare another two hundred people.
This was the Western region of Jiayuguan that had just finished their war, and the Dunhuang had just passed through the rebel army. It was a time of joy for them, taking care of their food and food while paying them 50 yuan a day.
The Dunhuang's County Magistrate immediately opened the list of the entire city, sending over 300 people from Dunhuang's County to do their work.
Hundreds of elderly men and women had even been organized to transport supplies and foodstuffs. In the endless desert, there was an endless stream of Hunchbacked Horses and the ruins had turned into a market.
As the number of people in China increased, Samuel cursed in his heart. These Chinese people all listened to Shang Tai and Leftie's orders, their own words were completely useless.
Every day, the people chasing after his ass were Chinese, even going to the toilet was not allowed. Seeing Baoshan but not being able to do anything about it was too bad.
At this moment of anxiety, the injury that was 80% healed increased by 30%!
Cleaning up the sand in the Mogao's cave was not something that could be done overnight. Even after a whole month, he had only managed to clear the path outside the cave.
Just when everyone was prepared for a prolonged battle, Dunhuang County's caravan accidentally brought a disguised CIA spy.
He gave the signal to the left, and a telegram arrived in the left hand.
