The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 80 - 79: The Main Business Is Tomb Robbing, Right?

Fang Hao's knowledge and ability were more than sufficient for the position.

Although he wasn't talkative, since the discovery of the thousand-year-old sunken ship, every time he spoke, he touched on the most crucial aspects.

Such accuracy couldn't be achieved without a significant accumulation of knowledge.

He had guessed the identity of Marquis Wu Ying, a figure none of them had even considered.

This indicated Fang Hao's research into history and depth of knowledge far surpassed that of the average person.

Although Marquis Wu Ying was a distinguished military figure with notable achievements, he maintained a low profile, and few people were aware of him.

Because at the time, the Han Dynasty's main opponents were the northern Xiong Nu, there wasn't as much focus on striking against the southern tribes.

Therefore, Marquis Wu Ying, who had been deterring the Exotic Race tribes in the south, did not gain as much renown.

But his contributions were by no means minor.

A single man had subdued all the tribes.

The Han Dynasty navy he established possessed formidable abilities in naval combat, instilling fear in all enemies, and even had the capacity for long-distance strikes.

Amidst a dynasty infamous for its many great generals, his fame may not have been widespread, but his achievements were indeed remarkable.

Because his renown was not as pronounced, those who had not delved deeply into Han Dynasty history typically knew little of him.

Even they, for a moment, had failed to recall this figure.

Not to mention the general public.

Yet, Fang Hao was able to accurately name him, demonstrating his deep research into Han Dynasty history.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Han Weixiang too had developed an appreciation for talent and wished to hire Fang Hao as a special consultant.

He planned to find time to discuss this idea privately with Fang Hao, to see if he was interested.

Such talent should not be wasted.

He shouldn't be left to just idle away his time fishing.

Even though both of these significant discoveries were associated with fishing.

But surely one can't fish for a lifetime.

Young people should have greater ambitions.

His own disciple was simply too playful, which is why he was only halfway knowledgeable.

Han Weixiang glared at He Zhenmin with a feeling of frustration at his lack of progress.

He Zhenmin suddenly felt a chill on his neck and had a bad premonition; turning his head, he saw his teacher glaring at him and was immediately bewildered.

He was completely at a loss and didn't understand what had happened.

What did I do to anger the teacher again?

It seemed he hadn't really done anything.

...

"Marquis Wu Ying..."

"It really is Marquis Wu Ying's Tomb."

"I never imagined Marquis Wu Ying's Tomb would actually be here."

Zhang Tianhe was already so excited that he felt like crying.

Fortune truly hadn't been stingy with him.

Not only had he discovered a thousand-year-old sunken ship, but now he'd found the grand tomb of Marquis Wu Ying from the Han Dynasty.

He was overwhelmed with excitement.

His blood pressure nearly spiked with the thrill.

The others were equally thrilled, their excitement hardly less than Zhang Tianhe's.

The grand tomb of Marquis Wu Ying could possibly be even more precious than the thousand-year-old sunken ship!

Immensely valuable.

"We must protect it properly this time."

...

"Who is Marquis Wu Ying?"

"I don't understand, but judging by these experts' reactions, he must have been an amazing figure."

"Whoa... I just checked on Baidu, and it seems this Marquis Wu Ying was a figure second only to the Champion Marquis!"

"Holy shit, seriously? That amazing?"

"It's strange; why haven't I heard of such an impressive figure before?"

"He doesn't seem to have been that famous."

"But the host is amazing, to know of such a person and even guess correctly right off the bat."

"The host is too strong, now I deeply suspect his main profession is tomb raiding and fishing is just a side gig (dog head)."

"Haha, I think so too."

"Which legitimate fisherman can't catch a fish, eh (just landed a ten-pound carp today)."

The livestream became particularly lively after Zhang Tianhe and Han Weixiang both confirmed it was Marquis Wu Ying's Tomb.

But at the same time, the viewers in the livestream were also introduced to this character, Marquis Wu Ying.

A little-known, naturally brilliant talent.

The more the viewers learned, the more astonished they became.

"I wonder what the tomb of such a person will look like once it's excavated."

"I'm quite excited."

"This is my first time seeing such a big underwater tomb."

"He truly was a prodigious genius from thousands of years ago."

"Pump the water out! Let us see what this great tomb looks like right away."

"Eh? When they pump out the water, wouldn't that mean they could find the fish that the host previously caught but then slipped away?"

But the next challenge was how to excavate Marquis Wu Ying's Tomb.

One issue was the technical difficulty, as this was an underwater tomb. Excavating it wouldn't be like other tombs; the difficulty was significantly higher.

A single careless mistake could cause the tomb to collapse, destroying it.

That would be a terrible loss.

They would become criminals of history.

It wasn't as simple as the netizens suggested, just pumping out the water.

Another challenge was that most of their manpower and resources were focused on salvaging a thousand-year-old sunken ship.

They didn't have many people available, which added difficulty to the subsequent excavation work.

It was more than just a headache; they had to find additional personnel from other places.

The millennium sunken ship needed salvaging, and so did Marquis Wu Ying's Tomb.

Neither task could be delayed.

Both were of great value.

Both were significant discoveries.

"Brother Fang, you really know how to find things for us to do."

But this wasn't a complaint, it was said in good spirits.

They were joking about it.

They definitely wouldn't mind if Fang Hao kept them busy.

One big tomb a day, one relic after another, that would be awesome.

But that was unrealistic, just wishful thinking.

How could there be so many great tombs and relics discovered? This place isn't the Thirteen Dynasty Ancient Capital, where building a house could unearth a bunch of ancient tombs.

For Binjiang to discover an ancient tomb was already quite good.

Let alone a peerless individual like Marquis Wu Ying.

His tomb was even more intriguing.

The excavation work surely had to be well-protected, not allowing any mistakes.

The Divine Tao Stele on the floor had to be safeguarded as well.

Seeing the damaged Divine Tao Stele pained them.

This was the result of poor protection.

Of course, it was also because no one knew at the time that this was Marquis Wu Ying's Tomb.

It was thanks to Fang Hao's fishing, and catching something, that led to the discovery of this great tomb.

Zhang Tianhe issued instructions to safeguard the Divine Tao Stele that had been buried in the ground as pavement; they needed to dig it up first.

Similarly, the main burial site by the pond needed protection.

The fish in the pond might have to be cleared out, and some of the water might need to be pumped out. It couldn't be completely drained all at once, to maintain a protective layer.

Moreover, if the great tomb was to be excavated, the pond issue needed addressing.

The pond was privately owned.

If they were to drain the water from the pond, what would they do with the fish inside?

These matters required careful discussion and resolution.

The preparatory work at the initial stage was substantial.

It wasn't as simple as just saying they would start digging; the preparation had to be thorough.

This matter also had to be reported to higher authorities, and await their instructions.

They immediately reported the discovery of Marquis Wu Ying's great tomb to their superiors.
