Chapter 40: The Emperor?

After all, Ji Yiming and Ying Xingtian and other more than a dozen people have a huge team, plus Gu Snake Xiaoyang carrying a dead corpse and an unconscious Ou Haichao on his back, even if he rushes with all his strength, his speed is much slower than that of Ji Daoyan and Zheng Changlin.

They traveled from the southwest to the northeast corner of the city, almost crossing the entire underground city, and the distance was much farther than the twenty kilometers of the latter two. Hurry up, hurry, almost half an hour passed before we came to seven or eight kilometers from the center of the energy fluctuation.

At this moment, the dust in the air, which contained powerful energy, had begun to slowly sink from the floating state to the ground. Everyone had a little ash under their feet, and their clothes and the top of their heads were dusty. It looked like they had been on a long journey, but fortunately, everyone's mental state and internal breath were not bad, especially Ying Xingtian and Gu Snake Xiaoyang had recovered to their peak state—even if the existence in front of them was really a top-notch grandmaster realm, they were not afraid of anything.

"Yiming, you and Zhenzhen should stay here with Liu Luo's corpse and Ou Haichao. As the distance got closer and closer, the energy fluctuations in front of him became more and more intense, and Ying Xingtian took the lead in stopping: "The battle in the top grandmaster realm is very dangerous, even if there is a Gu snake to help, I may not be able to protect you—can it follow me and listen to orders to fight together?"

The Gu snake Xiao Yang who was pointed at spit out the letter, his face full of disdain.

Ji Yiming shook his head and smiled and rubbed the latter's neck: "It can understand, and it will fight by itself when needed." The relationship between us is more like a friend, and there is no distinction between master and servant of the traditional Gu Dao. ”

Countless times the "Taiyi Longevity Formula" has been poured into the body of the "Yin and Evil Anode Snake", and a close connection between the two of them has been established, and they often only need a glance to understand each other's meaning.

Yu Zhenzhen leaned over and rubbed the "Xiaoyang" snake body with the back of his hand: "Even if it is a Gu Cultivation Natal Gu Worm, I have never seen such a smart and intelligent person." "Those three grandmasters have really left a good legacy for you." ”

"I'll come along. Ji Yiming ignored the envious expression on the former's face, and only looked directly at Ying Xingtian: "With me using the "Taiyi Longevity Formula" to cooperate with the recovery, even if there is no difference in combat effectiveness...... Xiaoyang's combat endurance will be at least several times that of the normal state, which should be able to help. ”

Ying Xingtian hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded a little reluctantly: "You follow at the end, and leave immediately if you see something wrong." Zhenzhen, Li Xiang, the two of you pay attention to protection, and you must ensure his safety. ”

The two who were called by their names quickly nodded their heads as well, without any surprise on their faces.

Regarding the attention and preferential treatment given to Ji Yiming, the Yellow Emperor's direct bloodline, by Ying Xingtian or the entire Qianlong Yuan, everyone seems to have a tacit and accustomed feeling. It's just that Ji Yiming himself has no clue about this, and he really doesn't know where this preferential treatment comes from.

However, the current situation was not a good time to explore this, and he could only press the doubts in his heart, and continued to walk forward after the large army-Win Xingtian and Gu Snake Xiaoyang took the lead, while Liu Luo's corpse and the unconscious Ou Haichao were resisted by the two members of the Ruins Exploration Department, preparing to find a safe house in front and put it down first.

When the group passed through the "D" intersection where two spacious avenues intersected, they always released part of their spiritual consciousness out of their bodies, and Ji Yiming, who was paying attention to the surrounding state, suddenly frowned slightly, and glanced at a place on the ground on the right.

Is that?

Sketchy lines with familiar curvatures......

"Besides us, someone has come in! this should be the sign of your Hidden Dragon Abyss, right?"

Everyone turned their heads in the direction of his gaze at the same time, and then their eyes lit up in unison: "The mark was left for a short time, and it should be the exclusive mark of the logistics department." ”

"Yan Siguang is here, if it weren't for him, no one should be able to use the spatial teleportation formation behind him. Ying Xingtian quickly made a judgment: "The mark is left by Niu Chuxiong, look at the small dot at the hook, which is the way he is most accustomed to drawing!"

"So Niu Chuxiong came in with Yan Siguang?" Yu Zhenzhen flicked his ponytail, and his delicate face showed a look of relief: "There is a black fat man, even if we encounter the time and space maze like before, we will not be helpless to deal with it, and we have to dig a tunnel to escape." Moreover, there are formations everywhere in this underground city, which is basically the home field created for him - the energy fluctuation just now, it can't be made by him, right?"

The rest of the people looked slightly stunned, and at the same time felt that Yu Zhenzhen's guess was not impossible: "That's right, with Lao Yan's research maniac's temperament, fooling around with so many formations...... Tinkering with a big explosion with the aura of a top grandmaster realm is very suitable for his personality!"

Only Ying Xingtian withdrew his gaze from the iconic trace of the "Hidden Dragon Abyss" on the ground, and looked back at the place where the energy fluctuations came from: "Follow the Niu Slash Male Sign, continue to walk over there." However, although they are two directions, the goal may still be the same...... Lao Niu and Lao Yan...... Indeed, it went over that direction. ”

……

……

All the dust fell in the air, and there was nothing but charred black earth and thick dust within a kilometer in diameter. Niu Chuxiong looked at the Qing soldier standing at the center of the explosion from a distance, although he couldn't see the expression on the other party's face clearly through the skull mask helmet, but he could clearly feel the extreme despair and sadness on the armor-covered general.

The aura was so thick and strong that even he was a little affected by a few hundred meters away, and his heart was filled with the same sense of despair and desolation for no reason.

When the emotion is extreme, it can naturally arouse the same kind of emotions that resonate with others, and whether or not the practitioner is ...... It doesn't matter if you're strong or not.

Niu Chuxiong looked at the arrogant figure, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the inner circle again with the dust on the ground.

And it wasn't until he cautiously approached the other party's body within ten meters that this Qing soldier general, who still had the aura of the top grandmaster realm surging on his body, suddenly turned his head sideways and looked at him with a pair of eagle-like narrow eyes that were dull: "People...... It's all gone. ”

"Who is gone, the residents who originally lived here, or everyone in this city?" Niu Shuxiong stabilized his mind and asked in a low tone, "You said you saw my friend, the black fat man with glasses, is he gone?"

The Qing soldier turned his head sideways, and suddenly raised his hand to take off the helmet from his head, revealing a tough face like a knife and an axe: "No...... No, the people here...... It's all gone. ”

This is equivalent to not saying it, but Niu Chuxiong didn't dare to say anything to stimulate him, and only continued to ask in a low and soothing tone: "Do you say that the people here, including the black fat man?"

The former was stunned, then quietly shook his head.

Niu Chuxiong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still didn't dare to stimulate the general in front of him who was full of despair and sorrow, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "What is the era name now, how many years?"

The warlord held the steel gun in one hand and the skull mask helmet in the other, and stood in place in a daze for more than ten seconds. The blank look in his eyes finally faded a little because of this question, and even the voice that was originally like sandpaper grinding rusty iron was slightly "lubricated": "The emperor...... Emperor, five years. ”

Emperor?

What era name is this?

As the chief housekeeper of the logistics department of Qianlong Yuan, although Niu Chuxiong is not a professional in the history department, he is actually quite familiar with Qing history, but he has never heard of the strange era name of "imperial unity" in the middle of the history of the Qing Dynasty in the past three hundred years.

Even in the famous dynasties in the entire history of China, there does not seem to be a similar pronunciation.

Is this guy in front of him from the Qing Dynasty? But look at his entire forehead and the iconic big braid on the back of his head. In addition, he appeared in the ruins of the former Qing Ancestral Land - if he was not a Qing soldier, what would he be?

Many doubts flashed through Niu Chuxiong's heart, but he could never find any logical explanation.

(Imperial ...... Or is it Huang Tong? Or is it Huang Tong? If it's outside, any mobile phone Baidu can find clues at once, but there is no signal inside. Not...... Go back and suggest that the Department of Relics Exploration and the Department of Materials cooperate to produce an offline version of a complete set of index materials of ancient Chinese culture, and you will not be afraid of this situation again. )

After the doubts, the logistics minister of the "Qianlong Yuan" suddenly had a good idea in his heart, and he was a little excited. It's a pity that this is not an urgent matter at the moment, and it is not helpful for how to communicate with the "Qing soldiers" in front of him. He could only press his mind slightly, and continued to ask questions in a different way: "Do you know where this is?"

"I ...... Home, I ...... Tribe. ”

So what he is looking for, the so-called "gone", should be his own family. The more information Niu Chuxiong learned, the more the mystery about this man became: where did his family and clansmen live?

- With so many luxurious buildings in the entire city, equipped with countless formations that can make life extremely convenient, why would this family member of the top Grandmaster realm live in such a dilapidated slum?

He took a deep breath and spoke again, "I'm asking this city, what's it called?"

The warlord tilted his head, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Huining!

Huining?

This time, Niu Chuxiong's mind finally floated a paragraph of historical knowledge that was not very familiar.

Hoi Nyeong!

——After the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Aguda, raised an army against Liao in the fourth year of Tianqing, he set the name of "Receiving the Country" in the second year and built the capital "Huining Mansion"!

Could it be that the "Qing Soldier General" in front of him should be called the "Golden Soldier General"?

But why the whole city has extremely significant architectural characteristics of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, according to the previous Ji Daoyan, it is also very close to the various customs of the Jurchen tribe in history - such as "Nikan Wailan", "Tulun", "Banjia", which were conquered by Nurhachi himself.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but his mouth followed up with the question, "What is your name and why are you here?"

The general's body froze, and his eyes reappeared dazed.

"Who am I?"

"I ...... Why are you here?"
