Chapter 42: Ruins

If you take a bird's-eye view from the sky, you can see that sinking ravine, stretching for more than ten miles, like the terrifying blood basin mouth opened by a giant beast in the wilderness, and like a knife mark cut by a peerless powerhouse. Of course, this is in the fantasy world to have such an explanation, but this is the Tang Dynasty, not the Gaowu world. Even the cornices and walls are legends here, not to mention anything else.

Li Kuandan stood on the edge of the ravine in pain, this pit dozens of feet deep, how could it be said that it could go down? Not to mention going down inside to find that little heirloom jade seal! This is simply difficult for a strong man! But thinking of the system prompt, the so-called historical punishment, Li Kuan suddenly felt shuddered, as if his little life would be crushed to slag like an ant at any time. So Li Kuan can't care so much, as for upgrading the system energy to purple, this is a long way to go. This time he absorbed this oil belt, and the energy point skyrocketed to a huge number of 350 million, but the flame on the top of Li Kuan's head, which seemed to be a small flame that could be extinguished by the wind at any time, was actually half azure, emerald green was only on the periphery, and the flame heart part was still sky blue firmly entrenched. In other words, this time Li Kuan has received a large amount of energy points, but he has not even upgraded a small level, so how much oil or coal is needed for a half level in the back?

Li Kuanyan doubts that if he absorbs all the coal mines in Shanxi, the coal capital of later generations, can upgrade the system to purple. Anyway, he doesn't hope to upgrade in three days now, so he can only honestly go down to find the heirloom jade seal!

Time was running out for them, and the nearest tribe of the Turks was only about two days away. In the case of a rapid march, the time can be shortened by several hours. Therefore, if Li Kuan and the others can't find the jade seal of the country within three hours, they will have to meet with the Turks. In this case, his dozen or so people must be in a catastrophe.

Of course, the first problem Li Kuan faced was not the Turks. It's a question of how to go down at such a deep depth. Twenty or thirty zhang deep collapse, plus the situation below is unknown. Who knows what kind of situation will come into existence below.

The depth is not difficult for Li Kuan, after all, he has a cheat, and a long enough rope is a piece of cake, even if he doesn't make it, the rope that their war horse has brought together is enough. So if you go down, you will definitely be able to go down, but what will happen to you after you go down, Li Kuan is very unconfident.

Gritting his teeth, Li Kuan decided to go down, and only by taking the first step did he know what to do next. Otherwise, you can only stop at the original point forever.

"Let's go, let's go down!" Li Kuan ordered: "Leave two people to guard the horses, and keep an eye out for any Turks coming." Three hours, three hours as the limit, no matter what the situation below, after three hours, all come up, and immediately rush back to Datang! ”

The corners of Liu Wei's mouth twitched a few times, and he stopped talking. But after hearing Li Kuan's time limit, his face became softened, and three hours should not allow the Turks to rush here, and there is still time to retreat. So although I wanted to talk a few times, I stopped. But after all, he held back.

Li Kuan did not tie the rope, but everyone loved the lasso on the saddle and tied it to the warhorse. One by one, they slowly climbed down, and then went down to the second one. There are some rocks and other things around, though. But who knows if those things will suddenly come loose, where they have just collapsed. It's better to be careful.

Li Kuan was the last to go down except for the people who stayed behind, because Liu Wei was afraid that there would be changes below, so he insisted that Li Kuan go down last, but fortunately, after going down, except for the terrible darkness around and the terrible quiet, there were no other accidents.

Li Kuan slowly slid down the rope, he was strong, this cliff was not too difficult for him, and he still had a pair of leather gloves on his hands, and he was not afraid to strangle his hands. Along the way, the light became dimmer and dimmer, until the end of the day was completely dark.

With a 'bang', Li Kuan landed, and Liu Wei heard this voice and hurriedly said: "Lord Captain, it's so dark here, how can you see it!" I'm afraid it's hard to find what you're looking for! Liu Wei didn't approve of going down to this crack in the ground, but now he is even more reluctant to see the black rumbling below. So he persuaded and wanted to leave directly.

"Liu Weisima, this matter is very important, they have already come down, and you are from Xuanjiawei, so I won't hide it from you anymore, this time I entered the grassland except to disturb the grassland, but also has other purposes. Of course, this disturbance of the steppe was aborted because of the matter of our Tang people who were captive by the Turks, but another thing was difficult before, but now it is just a little troublesome, so we must do our best to complete it. This matter is, to find the jade seal of the country! Li Kuan said solemnly.

"What? Heirloom jade seal? Liu Wei was frightened, he never thought that a person of their status would know such a confidential thing and be fortunate to participate in it, which was simply a great honor. Compared to this matter, the rest of the things are not a matter!

I couldn't help but Liu Wei was excited, and the other Xuanjiawei soldiers were also very excited, the jade seal of the country was passed on, this is a sacred object of the Chinese nation. The legend of this thing can be said to be three days and three nights without repeating the same, and every Chinese descendant knows some of the allusions. But isn't that thing supposed to be in the hands of the Holy One, how could it be in this Turkic king's tent?

"Now that I have already said it, then I will tell you the truth, and now the jade seal used by my Tang Emperor is not a real heirloom jade seal, but an imitation. Give me a jail of your mouths, don't spread the word, otherwise your whole family will not be enough to cut off your head. Li Kuan first intimidated halfway through speaking, and sounded the alarm for these guys, otherwise if it spread, although Li Er was not afraid, it would still be a trouble. Although those big families knew that this heirloom jade seal was probably not in the hands of the Li family, they didn't dare to believe it completely. If this kind of news came out from Xuanjiawei, the credible Cheng dΓΉ would rise in a straight line, and when the time came, some people would have some crooked thoughts going around in their heads.

"The lowly people understand that this matter will never be spread outside, otherwise it will not be good to die if the sky thunders and splits!" Liu Wei hurriedly swore an oath, and the rest of the people also hurriedly swore a guarantee.

"And the most likely thing is that this heirloom jade seal was taken by Queen Xiao and fell into this Turkic king's tent! I wanted to sneak in to see if I could steal it, but I didn't expect such a situation to happen, but now I just need to find it! As he spoke, Li Kuan took out the prepared fire sickle and torches. Torches were lit to illuminate the surrounding area, which was on the edge of the Turkic king's tent, and the scale of the felt tents around it was evident from the scale of the surrounding ones, and the flamboyant and elaborate the flamboyant and elaborate the farther you went to the center of the Turkic camp.

At this time, when the entire Turkic king's tent fell, all of them were thrown to death, and even those who did not die at that time must have broken bones and fell into a coma, and the shock wave and smoke and dust were enough to kill them. So now the entire Turkic king's tent is in ruins, full of ruins and broken walls, and the corpses of Turkic people can be seen everywhere, not only people, but also cattle, sheep and horses, etc., in short, it has become a mass grave, a veritable mass grave. Here all the people in the tent of the Turkic kings, including livestock, were buried.

Li Kuan and the others held torches and looked at the camp, and there was hardly a single intact camp tent, all of them were shocked to the ground, and some were even torn apart and burned in half, and the blackened severed heads showed the chaos at that time. And the Turkic people who were lying on their stomachs or lying on their stomachs on the ground were even more vividly expressed in the cruelty of this sudden disaster. A pair of dead fish eyes staring at the sky, all the Turks are dead, in their opinion, this must be the wrath of the wolf god, the entire Turkic king's tent was killed by two people, and after killing the first Turkic master, they can still break through, indicating that these Turks who are still in the king's tent are no longer worthy of being called the descendants of the wolf god, and they will definitely be wiped out. So disaster struck, and the wolf god was going to kill all the Turks who had desecrated his majesty.

The horror on the faces of these Turks when they died was precisely because they believed that this was the punishment of the wolf god, and they would face endless pain and torture after death, and they would not be able to find peace and eternal life in the arms of the wolf god. The collapse of faith left them dead.

Li Kuan and the others did not stay in the periphery, and went directly to the central lot, although Empress Xiao was the queen of the former Sui, but Jieli's wife was also the princess of the former Sui, so although she was in the Turkic steppe, she still had a high status.

With such a reason, Empress Xiao will definitely not live in the outer area, it should be in the central area, where Jieli's family is located, even if Empress Xiao is not there, it must not be far away. So there is a lot more purpose.

The flames on the torches flickered and flickered, and from time to time there was a crackling explosion, and Li Kuan and the others were looking in this dark environment, in the camp surrounded by countless corpses, and the atmosphere became very strange. The dim flames illuminate the small territory, and the terrifying corpses that appear around from time to time make it feel like you are filming a horror movie. Although Li Kuan has also killed a lot of people, he is in a state of killing red eyes on the battlefield, and now this situation also makes him feel furious, so he unconsciously sped up his pace.

The cold wind raged overhead, bringing a whistling sound, which eased the depression in Li Kuan's heart a little. So he said loudly: "Jieli's residence should be in the most central area, everyone looks for it separately, that thing is not big, you must look carefully!" ”

"No!" The soldiers said yes, and then they scattered and began to search.

Li Kuan was not idle, and he also began to look for an area to the south in the very center.

It's just that although the general range is drawn, it is still a huge area, and Li Kuan and the others are only about a dozen people who have found it, and the time is limited, so there is even more hope. But Li Kuan can only hope for this, because there is still hope for this, and the other way is that there is no hope at all! (To be continued......)
