Chapter 519: The Stone Gate Opens
The woman was hit by an arrow in the leg, and at the same time as the swallow knife fell, a Han army had already rushed up and controlled her.
"Kill her." The Han army, whose sword had been snatched, roared angrily.
"Calm." Yan Ming's voice sounded, and everyone fell silent.
Only the woman, sweating profusely from the pain of the crossbow arrow in her leg, and her beautiful face turned red, making her even more beautiful and enchanting.
"What's your name?" Yan Ming looked at the woman in front of him and asked.
The woman glanced at Yan Ming and saw that all the people were centered on Yan Ming, knowing that this was a Han official.
She shifted her body slightly to make her injured leg better, and then said, "I'm Jenny from Rome." When the lord of Rome heard from my father that there was a powerful Han dynasty in the east, he sent an envoy to follow me and my father to the Han dynasty. It's a pity that our compass was broken, lost our way, and sailed in the sea for a long time, but we didn't find the Han Dynasty. I said that it is better to take the land route than by water. ”
Jenny's last sentence seemed to be talking to herself.
Yan Ming was a little stunned, Rome actually began to explore the existence of the Han Dynasty.
Perhaps it was the retreating Xiongnu who passed on the message of the Han Dynasty, or perhaps it was Zhang Qian's Silk Road that allowed the people of the Western Regions to spread the prestige of the Han Dynasty farther and farther.
Whatever the case may be, the current Rome already knows about the powerful kingdom of the Han Dynasty.
"What is the purpose of your coming?" Yan Ming asked.
Jenny said: "The emperor of the Roman Empire said that he wanted to see how big the world really was and how strong the Han Dynasty was. ”
Yan Ming had a smile on his face, this Roman Empire was one of the few powerful empires in the history of Europe.
Now it seems that the news of the powerful Han Dynasty has now reached the Roman Empire and attracted the attention of the careerists of the Roman Empire.
"Drew a crossbow arrow for her and healed her wounds." Yan Ming didn't ask any more, but asked someone to heal Jenny.
He himself led Yu Ao to the island.
Geng Zhi took the other half of the men and horses and stayed on the side of the New Taipei.
How many pirates there are in this area are uncertain, and someone needs to stay here.
The island is not too big.
The island's natives have been slashed by pirates. There are aboriginal corpses everywhere.
Looking at this kind of miserable image in the world, Yan Ming was a little distressed.
Whenever you fall behind, you will be beaten, and this is the last word.
"Search and see if there are any survivors on the island. Yu Ao, find someone and mark this island. We build a nautical chart. Save for later. Yan Ming said.
Yu Ao nodded, and the clerk next to him had already written down this matter.
After a meticulous search, two surviving children were found on the island.
They were all boys, hidden by their parents in a ravine, and the two children were obviously frightened, looking at the dead bodies all over the ground, and even forgot to cry.
"Take them to the ship." Yan Ming couldn't bear to let the two underage children see these dead relatives, friends and neighbors.
Yu Ao agreed, pulling the two children and leaving.
The older child suddenly broke free from Yu Ao's hand, knelt down in front of Yan Ming, and said loudly: "This official, I know that there are treasure caves of pirates on this island. ”
"Hidden treasure?" Yan Ming looked at the child and asked.
"Well, they built a treasure cave here, and hid all the gold and silver they had stolen in it." The child's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he continued, "It was because of the gold and silver, and the treasure caves, that they killed all the people on the island. ”
Yan Ming saw that the child was seriously flashing with hatred, and couldn't help but sigh and ask, "What's your name?" ”
"Back to the official, my father called me a dog. Call my brother Ermao. The dog said.
Yan Ming stretched out his hand and touched the dog's head and said, "If you want, you can follow me in the future and read and write." Now let's take a look at the treasure tunnel you talked about. ”
The dog nodded, and after kowtowing to Yan Ming respectfully, he got up and called his younger brother Ermao, and the two of them led the way in front, and Yan Ming and Yu Ao followed behind.
After walking a short distance, I saw a valley.
The island is surrounded by mountains on all sides, but this valley is the lowest. It's even a little lower than the sea level outside the islands.
In the valley, there are many exotic flowers and plants.
When he arrived here, Yan Ming saw some traces of axes and chisels.
"There's a slab behind the old tree in front of you, and there's a mechanism on it that can be opened." It's a multi-year-old dog, and he said with the command of a little adult.
Yan Ming smiled: "How do you know so much?" ”
The dog was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, as if Yan Ming had been struck by what Yan Ming had said, and said sneeringly: "When they dug this hole, my brother and I were naughty, so we secretly hid in the grass to watch. I heard them talk about the mechanism or something, and they also said that after digging the cave, they would kill all the people on the island. ”
"We went back and talked to my father, who said we were talking nonsense. They worked, and every day they got some fish and stuff like that. A person who is so generous will not do that kind of unconscionable thing. The dog said, tears coming out of his eyes.
Yan Ming sighed, since ancient times, he died for wealth, and birds died for food. Never changed.
Under the guidance of the dog, Yan Ming and the others bypassed the towering ancient tree and saw that behind the dense branches and leaves, there was a huge prototype stone slab.
Look at this slate, it should weigh a thousand pounds.
"Where's the agency?" Yu Ao asked.
The dog shook his head and said, "Ermao and I only dare to watch from a distance, but we don't dare to approach." ”
Yan Ming knew that the child was not lying, he stepped forward, looked at the round stone slab, and suddenly thought of Mo Zheng.
If Mo Zheng was here at this time, this kind of superficial trick would definitely not be able to hide Mo Zheng, a great expert.
Fortunately, Yan Ming spent some time with Mo Zheng and had some research on the Mo family's tricks.
This kind of giant stone gate generally has some containment mechanisms.
Yan Ming searched carefully, and saw that the surroundings were very clean because they had just been built, and there was only one place with an extra stone.
And the stone is still oval-shaped.
Yan Ming stepped forward and reached out to gently take the stone.
The seemingly small stone did not move on the ground.
"This is it." Yan Ming looked at the giant stone door, and the small stone in his hand twisted slightly.
The small stone, which was originally immovable, actually turned with Yan Ming's hand.
"Yes!" Yan Ming was happy in his heart, and the strength in his hand increased.
As the small stone turned, the huge stone door also made a heavy sound.
The sound of machine springs came from inside, and the huge stone door slowly moved to both sides, revealing a gap.
Behind it, there is a huge cave, which looks like a cave.
Yan Ming turned the small stone again, and the stone door opened wider.
As the stone door opened, a corpse fell out from behind.
Everyone was shocked, and when they looked inside, there were more than a dozen corpses lying horizontally.
