Chapter 317: The Royalists
Between the green mountains and green waters, birds frolicking in the treetops, the clear and transparent stream flows slowly in the valley, the women on the shore are beating and scrubbing their clothes, singing loudly, provoking the echoes and laughter of the men in the farmland, and the sunset is gradually setting, a happy scene. Not far away, a group of black-clad masked guards returned from the valley mouth, which immediately caused bursts of cheers. And their destination was deep in this valley, in that ancient and densely built village.
And in an inconspicuous room in this ancient village, Xiao Qiang was staring blankly at the old ceiling, falling into deep thought.
Ten days had passed since he came to his senses. Although he knew he was rescued when he first woke up, he had not been allowed to leave the room until now, and he had no idea where he was. The people here only brought him Chinese herbs for food and healing every day, and from some details he could already deduce that he was in an ancient clan tribe, probably still in the jungle of Dongzheng County.
The royalists, the name was heard from the woman in white before she fell unconscious, and this is supposed to be where the clan lives. Xiao Qiang sighed softly, he knew very well that there were two or three guards watching him outside the door of this hut, it was obvious that this clan was very wary of him, an outsider, and at the same time, he was not very friendly. Although it is not known why the people of this clan wanted to save his life, there is no doubt that it was not because they were kind, but for another reason. As for the reason, he did not know for the time being.
"Although I don't know why this royalist family saved me, at least I'm still alive, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune......" Xiao Qiang muttered to himself, raised his injured arm, and his face revealed anxiety, "Ten days have passed, and after taking out the bullet, I finally managed to basically deal with the injury with the treatment of heaven and earth aura with medicine, but time waits for no one, I am trapped here, and I don't know when I can get out, Hao Ziyan They are still in danger, and I don't know what happened...... The most damn thing is that there is no signal here at all, and the mobile phone can only be used as a waste product and cannot be contacted by the outside world, how on earth can I get out? ”
"Click!" Just when Xiao Qiang was thinking about it and becoming more and more irritable, the door of the hut was suddenly opened, and a masked black-clothed guard walked in from the outside, glanced at him and said, "Outsider, prepare to come with me." ”
Xiao Qiang was stunned, he was a little surprised, "What did you say?" You said you're going to take me out of here? Excuse me, where is this taking me? ”
"Why do you ask so much nonsense? You'll know when you get to the place, hurry up, don't grind. The black-clothed guard looked impatient and said, "Don't think of yourself as a guest, no one is here to welcome you, it's best to get to know me!" ”
Xiao Qiang pouted helplessly, he was also very angry in his heart, but there was no way, who let these people at least save their lives despite their bad attitudes? He could only roll over and get out of bed, come to the black-clothed guard and say, "Okay, then let's go." ”
"Before you go, put this on, I'll tie your hands and pull you with a rope to lead the way." The black-clothed guard didn't say a word, took out a black cloth cover and completely covered Xiao Qiang's head, and after confirming that it was correct, he pulled out a rope and tied Xiao Qiang's hands and said, "Don't try to escape from here, the bullet won't have eyes at that time, don't waste the medicine and food we saved you in vain!" ”
Xiao Qiang nodded, indicating that he did not reply after understanding. He knew that even if he wanted to ask something, the black-clad guard wouldn't say it. This black cloth cover can obstruct the vision of others, but it is useless for him at all, his eyes can see through, how can a mere piece of cloth block it?
Soon, under the pull of the black-clothed guard, Xiao Qiang was led out of the hut after him. The heaven and earth aura in the Nine Heavens Xuanyu was infused into his eyes, and Xiao Qiang finally saw the whole picture of the hut he had stayed in for ten days.
This is an earthen hut, located on the edge of a village, the black-clothed guard took him to walk on the road of the village, Xiao Qiang's eyes looked around, only to find that he was in a village in a valley, this village house building style is the style of the ancient Huaxia Kingdom, and the arrangement is dense, the village roads extend in all directions, and all points are guarded by guards, and the guard is fierce.
Xiao Qiang just looked at the general outline, and he already felt the prosperity of this village. This is a large densely populated village, the scale of which is probably not less than a thousand villagers, and what surprised him even more was that directly above the village, that is, in the middle of the cliff of the valley, there was a splendid palace standing in it, which was incredible!
This palace reminded Xiao Qiang of a scenic spot near Yongan County, the Hanging Temple! It is also a building that was carved out of the cliff, but it is already amazing just the temple, and it is completely different from the three-storey ancient Huaxia palace in front of you, both in terms of construction difficulty and meticulous carving! God knows how much manpower, material and financial resources were spent to build this palace suspended from the cliff face! This is not at all something that can be built in a poor place like Meng Kang!
Xiao Qiang was shocked and very curious, what is the origin of the palace that came out of such a ghostly creation? What is the origin and identity of this mysterious clan?
In his confusion, the black-clothed guard had already led him to the edge of the aisle between the village and the cliff, and on the road that stretched to the palace, the vigilance measures were as strict as they were, and it was really three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, as if this palace was really an ancient palace!
Of course, compared with the ancient imperial palace of the Huaxia Kingdom, there is a big gap between this palace in terms of momentum and the scale of the building, and even if it is heavily guarded, it is also very different from the scale of the Imperial Palace in the palace with tens of thousands of soldiers. These black-clothed guards are estimated to be clan members recruited from the village, and this village is estimated to have thousands of people in thousands of households, so it is obviously unrealistic to compare them with the real palace.
With the black-clad guards leading the way, the passage from the village to the palace on the cliff is unimpeded, and the checkpoints are all immediately released. But even so, when Xiao Qiang walked along the passage to the bottom of the cliff, he walked for nearly ten minutes. Then, together with the black-clothed guards, he began to walk up the stone steps leading to the palace, and when Xiao Qiang looked up, he happened to see the three golden characters of the palace standing on the cliff.
The Royal Palace!
This village, this palace, all give people a feeling of returning to the ancient Huaxia Kingdom, Xiao Qiang can basically be sure at this time, these royalist clansmen, should not be the Mengkang people formed after the Chinese people and the indigenous people, after all, although the architecture of the Mengkang area is also in the Huaxia Kingdom, but compared with here, there is still a big difference.
Entering the gate of the palace, the first floor inside is a splendid golden hall, this hall is exactly the same as the Jinluan Hall of the ancient Chinese Imperial Palace, whether it is the rows of stone pillars carved with dragons, or the dragon chair made of pure gold in the center and the staircase of rosewood zuò, the marble floor, everywhere shows luxury and majesty.
Of course, Xiao Qiang is not the only one in this hall, on the left and right sides of the place where he is standing, there are five men of different ages wearing ancient official uniforms, who look like the ministers of the early dynasty waiting in the palace in the TV series!
When Xiao Qiang saw the scene in this hall, he almost thought that he had traveled to the ancient times of Huaxia Kingdom. In today's world where science and technology are so developed, it is really shocking and inexplicable to see such a scene in a place like Meng Kang.
