Chai Jue looked at the white belly of the fish in the sky, sighed, and gently shook the people around him again. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lelang, it's here."

Le Lin was half-asleep and half-awake, and asked in a daze, "Arrived?" ”

"It's time to Taoranzhuang."

Le Lin half-opened her eyes in a daze, still nostalgic for the modern world in her dreams, and couldn't help but get up a little angry, and said, "It's time to arrive, can't you let me sleep a little longer?" ”

Chai Jue rarely saw such a childish side of "him", and said softly: "You take a look first." ”

With that, he pulled up the curtain of the car window and pointed in the direction of the east.

Le Lin looked at it fixedly, and was also stunned.

What she was looking for was not so much a manor, she thought it would not be an exaggeration.

What Chai Jue pointed to was a city wall that stretched for dozens of miles and was two or three zhang high, made of hard stones.

In front of the city wall, there is a moat dug by hand, more than a dozen long and wide, and the carriage is a little far away from this Zhuangzi, and it is impossible to see how deep the river is.

In the middle of the city wall, there is a gate, made of black iron, and two unknown mythical beasts are carved in the middle.

There is a drawbridge in front of the gate, which crosses the moat, and if you want to get to the city, you have to go through the drawbridge.

But at this time, the suspension bridge was lifted by machinery next to the gate.

Chai Jue was amazed: "I thought that Taoranzhuang would be a paradise-like place, but I never thought it would be so heavily guarded!" ”

He teased again: "Is Ling Zun hiding any treasure?" ”

Le Lin shook her head and muttered, "I didn't know there was such a place. ”

While the two were gossiping, Yu Mao came quickly, followed by a well-dressed young man.

Le Lin and Chai Jue looked at the young man carefully, and saw that he was in his early twenties, with a high nose and deep eyes, although he had black hair and black eyes, he really did not look like a person from the Central Plains. is dressed as a Song person, which is even more out of place.

After the two walked in, Yu Mao introduced the two of them: "Your Highness, this is the steward of Taoranzhuang, whose name is Gesa." ”

He also handed her back a pure gold token that Shi had given to Le Lin.

Le Lin took the token, and felt strange in her heart - to enter this Zhuangzi, you have to show the token, and it is not the Forbidden City, why should you be so cautious?

The young man who called Gesa saw that Le Lin took the token, and quickly knelt down on one knee respectfully, and said, "I don't know that the owner is coming, and I don't want to be surprised." ”

Le Lin motioned for him to get up and said with a smile: "It happened suddenly, those who don't know are not guilty, don't blame yourself." ”

The young man also laughed and said, "Dongjia, I don't have the surname Ge." ”

"Huh?"

"Gesa is the surname of the contemptible people, and the name of the contemptible people is Siamda, and the owner calls me Gesa or Siamda."

Le Lin slandered in her heart, does she have the surname Gesa?

Chai Jue was surprised and asked, "Uighurs?" ”

Gesa Siamse nodded and threw an approving smile at Chai Jue.

"Uighurs?"

Lelin asked suspiciously.

Chai Jue replied to her: "Gesa, Hu Sige, Si Luo Be, Qi Ge Xi Xuan, Ah Bedi, Hu Dysentery, Yao Bege, Xi Ye Be, the nine surnames of the Uighur 'Inner Nine Divisions' during the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Ah, that's right."

Le Lin suddenly realized, no wonder Gesa Siamse did not look like the Song people.

Gesa Siamse smiled and said to Chai Jue: "This son is really knowledgeable. ”

Le Lin hurriedly introduced him: "Steward Gesa, this is the Third Highness." ”

Gesa Siamon arched his hand to Chai Jue and said, "Siamse has seen the Three Highnesses. ”

I don't know if it's Chai Jue's multi-minded delusion, he always feels that Gesa Siamse is not as respectful to him as he is to "Lelang".

I saw that Gesar Siamdal said to Le Lin again: "The owner still has to call me a steward, just call me Siamda, I am actually just a temporary steward." ”

"Oh? Who is the real steward? ”

"It's my father."

"What happened? Is Ling Zun sick? ”

Gesar Siamse stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture and said, "This is a long story, why don't you talk about it while you go?" ”

"Good!"

……

"Ling Zun disappeared three years ago?"

When Le Lin heard the words of Gesa Siam, her heart palpitated, and she was even more puzzled.

Chai Jue asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Le Lin replied: "My father died in the fire of the old house in Hangzhou, which happened to be three years ago. ”

When Chai Jue heard this, he also felt that something was wrong, and he was about to talk to Le Lin in detail, but he heard Gesa Siamse say, "It's here." ”

It turned out that before they knew it, their group had come to the front of the moat.

Gesa Siamse gestured to the watchtower high above the tower, and after a few moments, the drawbridge was slowly lowered.

The crowd walked across the drawbridge and saw a huge gate in front of them.

In front of the gate was a sturdy fence that stood on the passage of the gate, and the Gesar Siamse pulled a wooden stake on the nearby wall, and the fence was raised.

Upon closer inspection, Lelin discovers that the gate is a gatehouse with an internal space, a fortified stronghold for the castle. People reach the gatehouse through a tunnel from the passage of the city gate. At both ends of the tunnel, there is an additional layer of gates.

There is a rolling unknown machine on the side, which can be hoisted or lowered above the gatehouse to provide solid protection for the gate. The gate itself is also made of heavy black iron.

What kind of secrets are guarded by layers of heavy armor?

The layers of fog made Chai Jue and Le Lin full of suspicions.

The two looked at each other and quickly exchanged a tacit look.

Chai Jue was the first to ask: "Siamse, who designed this city gate?" ”
