Su Guoguo looked at the thickness and height of the smoke in the woods, and was terrified! I didn't expect those assassins to give up yet, and they really prepared gunpowder! But luckily it exploded in the woods for some reason!

If she waits for her carriage, she will have to go to heaven with the car.

Su Guoguo greeted people.

"Qi Huan, Qi Huan! You call someone over there to see what's going on. ”

"Yes, miss."

In the carriage in front, Princess Zhaoping and the others also looked at each other.

Qi Huan asked people to go to the forest where the explosion occurred to check the situation, on the one hand, the ironclad army opened the way, and the convoy continued to move forward.

After a while, Qi Huan rode over to report.

"Miss, the situation over there is so miserable, it's all blown up."

Su Guoguo pushed the car door, sat out, and asked Qi Huan who was riding a horse.

"Is there a living mouth?"

"There were no living mouths, they were all blown up."

"Then they can have tokens or something like that?"

"No, there isn't. It's all scorched in a pile, and I can't tell the numbers. ”

Well?

Su Guoguo locked his eyebrows suspiciously.

Impossible!

If they are ambushing themselves, how can they gather!

If it's a pile, it's obviously against some people, right?

But....

Su Guoguo thought about it, and his heart flickered, and the feeling of uneasiness was still there.

She looked back at the still smoking forest in the distance behind her, where several ironclads and an internal guard were still hovering on horseback.

Not....

Su Guoguo shook his head with locked eyebrows, and looked at Qi Huan.

"Qi Huan, don't rush the car, you take a few people to patrol around, and if there is anything going on, send a signal to report immediately. Be careful yourself! If you strike in advance, don't miss your life in order to keep your mouth alive. ”

Qi Huan immediately clenched his fists and laughed.

"It's Miss, the slave is going here."

Qi Huan took a dozen ironclad soldiers to take a step forward.

In fact, there were already probes ahead, but Su Guoguo was uneasy, for fear of missing something, so he didn't worry, so he asked Qi Huan to explore again.

After a while, Qi Huan accepted the Tanmalai newspaper.

The road ahead is safe, and an ancient city has been found to rest.

Although this place is the scope of Zhili, but in order to rush to the capital as soon as possible, they choose a recent detour, this section, not far from the ancient border, can have a distance of forty or fifty miles, this surrounding in ancient times has been fighting for many years, so the towns, villages and everything have been seriously damaged, although later rebuilt, but the desertification is still very serious.

Xumao County in the rear has some red land, in the past the ancient city around the desert area, but there is not much area, is a spit out of the desert area, is a half-moon shape, as long as you walk through the most difficult desert area, in the scope of the capital, then back to Beijing, it is really just around the corner.

The ancient city is soon there.

The walls are earthy yellow, mixed with snow, and there is a strange feeling of cold and heat when you look at it.

The army entered the city, only to find that there was no one in the entire ancient city.

This deepened the uneasiness in Su Guoguo's heart.

She called Xiaoping and Qi Huan and asked if there were other roads nearby!

Xiaoping saw that it was quiet here, and there was a bit of a dangerous momentum, when going north around this road, this place was the only road leading to the far suburbs of the capital, if there was another road, I was afraid that it would have to go over the mountains and mountains.

The ancient city was garrisoned earlier, but later became an inland city, so the garrison area was abolished and the people were arranged to travel with caravans from the outside lands.

This is actually the first land transit point to the capital.

Xiaoping locks his eyebrows.

"Miss, this place is an important land place for the imperial court's trade, if something big happens, the surrounding prefectures and counties will be reported, neither reported, compared to an emergency. But there is only one way to go to the capital, and the slave sees that it is better to pass through the ancient city and continue to rush overnight. ”

Su Guoguo looked at the sun in the sky, and it was more than an hour before sunset.

Su Guoguo summed it up.

"Anyway, it's daytime, so there shouldn't be any danger. I saw that the soldiers were cold and hungry, so why not find a place to settle down, and eat before they were on the road. ”

Xiaoping smiled.

"Mademoiselle, you are right. I'm a little hungry indeed.... ”

Su Guoguo grinned.

"Okay, then rest in place and bury the pot to cook."

"Yes."

The archers occupied the commanding heights around them, and Su Guoguo and the others had an inn as a base and rested temporarily.

Su Guoguo walked all the way and found that the area of this ancient city is not small! In any case, there must be a population of 60,000 or 70,000! How did this suddenly become an empty city?

Su Guoguo sat alone on the bench at the door, looking at the empty street, and fell into deep thought.

Su Guoguo was thinking, what could make all the people in an ancient city disappear?

Moreover, there is no sign of fleeing, everything is business as usual, except for the people who live here, all the news.

And there is no sign of robber raiding!

Su Guoguo scratched his head.

Princess Zhaoping suddenly sat down and gave her a bowl of light chicken soup.

Su Guoguo sniffed the smell.

"Huh? It's an old soup, and it's very rich. ”

"I found it in the kitchen of the inn, and the food here is enough for our team to eat for two or three days. It's just strange, how can they put a good deal and not do it, and suddenly disappear? ”

Su Guoguo took a sip of chicken soup, which was light, warm, and very cold.

Su Guoguo took another sip and ordered the archers who were on guard on the roof to also send some soup, wine, and fire to satisfy their hunger.

Princess Zhaoping smiled.

"Juice, you still cherish the soldiers, didn't you learn from Xuan Ye?"

Su Guoguo smiled.

"Everything is people-oriented, and if I don't treat them as brothers, why should people give me my life?"

"Yo he, hehe, what a big reason."

Su Guoguo drank the soup and ignored her.

Princess Zhaoping leaned on Su Guoguo's shoulder.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything."

"Liar. You must be thinking about it, or you would have found a corner to sleep in. ”

Su Guoguo smiled bitterly, and this woman really knew herself.

"I wondered how the hell they disappeared. There is no sign of natural or man-made disasters here, I really don't understand. ”

Princess Zhaoping smiled weirdly, and attached Su Guoguo.

"And what if they don't disappear? It's hiding somewhere, snooping on us. ”

Su Guoguo was excited, frowning and looking at Princess Zhaoping.

Princess Zhaoping smiled.

"Look at you're scared, tease you."

Princess Zhaoping stood up.

"I'm going to eat, why don't you eat some together?"

Su Guoguo shook his head and held half a bowl of soup.

"You go eat first. I'll eat it later. ”

Su Guoguo walked out of the inn with half a bowl of soup.

On the street, there was an empty silence.

Su Guoguo locked his eyebrows.

"Damn, this city is really evil, take advantage of the fact that it's not dark, and leave quickly after eating."
