Chapter 45: The Legend of Loulan

Tonight, the cold crescent moon is gone, and only the rolling yellow sand sweeps between heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth have become thicker, and endless sand and dust have blown through the once prosperous bazaar, almost burying it, and the low folk buildings are also wrapped in the dust.

The low doors and windows are now nailed, a lesson that has been passed down for generations by desert dwellers, and sand must not be allowed to destroy their houses.

The corn that was originally hanging on the windowsill was collected in the cellar, wasting food at all times, and it was shameful at all times, let alone in the resource-scarce side.

The pet that was originally alive and jumping was also trembling and curled up in the corner.

Animals often feel more deeply about the coercion of nature than humans do.

The whistling sand and dust are like roaring monsters, its purpose is only to destroy, and the once prosperous desert oases are swallowed up and die out in this way.

The gray-haired old people are praying to the heavens, hoping that this quiet and peaceful town of Ganquan will not be swallowed up by sand and dust.

In the barracks, groups of Qin soldiers were waiting for them, and their task was to clean up the silt as soon as the dust had passed.

People's soldiers?

No! No! At this time, the concept of zài does not exist at all.

But this is the land of Great Qin, as long as the army is in one day, no force is allowed to take it away, this is the order of the First Emperor.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.

At any time, the territory of Great Qin was heavier than one qiē, because they were bought by infecting the blood of countless ancestors.

The king of Great Qin would never allow these precious lands to be lost in his own hands.

"Ergouzi, you said that this god is really good, when is it not good to come, but at this time it is noisy." A Qin army commander complained to his brothers.

"Brother Niu, what you said is yes, this one. I'm going to leave some people to watch the house again, and I still want to go with the team to see what Loulan is. The two dogs also responded.

"Hey, Brother Niu, I heard from the old people who used to run the business road that Loulan didn't disappear at all, but was protected by a mysterious power, I heard that they were their gods, similar to our God." Ergouzi continued.

"Yes! Hey, that's fresh, but it's so big. It's normal to have a few more immortals, but it's good that the two of us were sent to guard the cell tonight instead of standing guard, otherwise we would have been 'drowned' in the sand." Brother Niu rejoiced.

"Who says it's not, the brothers in our team can be regarded as lucky this time, and they don't have to eat ashes outside, and I also heard Shi Chang mention it, saying that this old man and girl are very important to the eighteenth son, and if this time the task is completed well, there will be a reward."

It was not Brother Niu who spoke. It's not Ergou, the new brother has some dust on his body, but he is carrying a basket in his hand, and the fragrance is overflowing.

"Hey. Lao Li, you can count it here, our brothers, we are all starving to death. Come on! Brother Niu grabbed Lao Li, who was delivering the meal, and said eagerly.

"Yes, Brother Li. You're here. The second dog also coaxed.

"Hey...... Ay...... I said Lao Niu, you wait first, didn't you listen to what Lao Li said just now, the two prisoners are very important to the son, it doesn't matter if you are hungry, but don't let them starve to death. ”

After speaking, he shook off the old cow's arm, walked to the prison door with a basket, and said loudly, "Eat, only after eating can you have the strength to lead the way, otherwise you will suffer." ”

Xiao Li didn't react, and Old Man Lu didn't react either.

Old man Lu stiffened his neck and didn't speak, and Xiao Li was even more crisp, as if he was asleep, and he didn't care.

Speaking of which, Lao Li was also hungry, so he put down the basket and left it alone, eating and drinking with his brothers by himself.

In this imperial military camp, whoever dares to break in is impatient.

…………………………

Within the central tent, the high-level of the Qin State made a specific trip.

The doors and windows were closed, and the howling wind outside was almost cut off from here.

Thousand-faced Langjun stood on the roof, facing the wild sand, just to prevent people from climbing on the roof to eavesdrop.

The memory of the thief sneaking into the Thousand Machine Building has almost become a nightmare for the top of the empire, and since then they have all deeply realized that the roof is also a place that cannot be ignored.

The purple jade rakshasa stood guard outside the door with a sword, Juanxiu's eyebrows were wrinkled, and her eyes were slightly narrowed, this is the taste of standing guard in the wild sand, which is really not something that a woman can bear.

Yu Guang glanced slightly towards the room, and the purple jade rakshasa couldn't help but be a little angry, "It's really the same life, those two guys, obviously outsiders, can stand inside, look hateful!" ”

The two people she was referring to were naturally Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang.

At this moment, there is a huge sand table in the room, and four bronze dragon heads are erected around the sand table, and a steady stream of yellow sand is poured into the sand table.

One will be a high-rise building, and the other will be a stretch of military horses, and every qiē here seems to reproduce a prosperous country, Loulan.

With a hint of flattery on his face, he respectfully sent a glass of wine to Hu Hai, and said softly, "Your Highness, you are the commander-in-chief of this operation, and His Majesty the Emperor ordered the opening of this imperial dossier, which is also the confidential information we have collected for many years. ”

The desert is constantly encroaching on water sources, turning green land into barren beaches, turning barren beaches into Gobi, and the countries in the Western Regions disappearing one by one.

"Very good, it seems that Mr. Gongyi seems to be very dedicated, compared to Xu Fu, who deserves to die, Mr. Gongyi can be said to be a great loyal minister."

"His Royal Highness Xie praised, Xu Fu is a rebel of the Yin and Yang family, but my Gongyi family is dedicated to serving His Majesty and the empire, and he does not dare to slack off."

"Very well, what else do you know besides that, let's talk about it together."

"Yes, many years ago, because of the appearance of traitors, Loulan lost the dragon soul, since then, Loulan sent many people to find the dragon soul, hoping that it can return to Loulan, but many people have not completed the task in their lives, but Old Man Lu is one of the luckier ones, but unfortunately when he found the dragon soul, the intelligence forces of the empire had already mastered his whereabouts, and he had no chance to send the dragon soul back."

"So where is the dragon soul now?"

"Your Highness, Old Man Lu and that little girl have both been searched, but the dragon soul is not on them." The public loses the enemy.

"You mean, the dragon soul is hidden again?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Then send more people to find it."

"No, my subordinates obey."

"With such a huge Loulan country, why hasn't anyone found it for so many years?"

"Your Highness, from the memory in Lu Lao's mind, we have found an important clue, the entrance to Loulan is hidden somewhere in the depths of the desert, and it is said that there are terrible undead monsters who have been guarding this and that place." (To be continued......)
