Everyone followed Di Renjie's instructions to prepare separately, and soon, Li Yuanfang and Di Chun drove the carriage and left Black Sand City with Su Jin and the injured man!

Not long after Li Yuanfang and the others left, Shalkin sent someone to the mansion, "See Di Ge Lao, and on the order of Lord Shalkin, I invite Di Ge Lao to go to Shiguo to participate in the enthronement ceremony of Jinzhen Great Khan!" ”

"Oh? Looks like the plan is going well, huh? However, please tell Lord Shalkin that Di has something important to do and needs to rush back to Shuozhou immediately, and after the matter is dealt with, Di will definitely go to Shiguo in person to congratulate the new lord on his accession to the throne! Di Renjie smiled!

"Ge Lao, you are the benefactor of the Turks, if you did not participate in the enthronement ceremony of the Great Khan of Jinzhen, this would be a great pity for our Turks?" The person said respectfully!

"Hahaha! Your envoy is serious, Di is really entangled in trivial matters, you have to leave now, and please ask your envoy to convey Di's words! Oh, by the way, please also ask the envoy to think about Lord Shalkin for Di, Di Mou didn't have time to say goodbye to Lord Shalkin, so he said goodbye, and asked him not to be surprised! Di Renjie replied!

The people who came had no choice but to return to Shiguo to resume their lives, Di Renjie and Chang Ping, Chang An rode on a horse, and set foot on the vast desert again with two horses carrying fresh water and food!

Just after noon, the three of them were a little tired, and Chang Ping said: "My lord, we have been walking for a few hours, let's rest, I am tired from watching the horses!" ”

Di Renjie reined in the horse, brushed his horse's mane, smiled and said, "Okay, I want to drink some water when I'm tired!" ”

The three of them jumped off their horses and rested on the spot, Chang Ping handed Di Renjie a water bag and a hu cake, and he took a large basin from the camel and poured some water to drink the three horses and two camels!

Chang An drank some water, chewed the cake and said, "My lord, you rest, I'll go for convenience!" ”

Di Renjie nodded, Chang An ran quickly to the back of the sand dune, and suddenly, Chang An's shout came from behind the sand dune: "Ah! Help me! ”

Di Renjie and Chang Ping heard Chang An's shout and hurriedly ran up to the sand dune, only to see that Chang An's two legs had sunk into the yellow sand!

"It's not good, it's quicksand!" Di Renjie hurriedly shouted!

At this time, Chang Ping had already run to Chang An's side and grabbed Chang An's arm, Di Renjie's heart seemed to be in his throat, he knew that if it was really quicksand, Chang Ping's strength alone would not be able to pull Chang An out, and it was possible that Chang An would be swallowed by this yellow sand together with Chang An!

Sure enough, Chang Ping's had already begun to fall into the yellow sand, Di Renjie was shocked in his heart, and shouted: "Chang Ping, Chang An, you are careful!" ”

Chang Ping also seemed to find that he was trapped in the yellow sand, and his heart was cold, but he still grabbed his brother's arm, Chang An saw this, and shouted: "Brother, let it go, or we all have to die here!" ”

"Less nonsense, you're my brother, I won't let you die!" Chang Ping roared!

The two of them sank together, and suddenly, it seemed that the quicksand was not moving, and the bodies of the two people also stopped sinking, Di Renjie saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward and tried to pull the two people out of the yellow sand!

Di Renjie walked quickly to the two of them, and before they could stand firmly, suddenly, with a bang, the desert seemed to collapse, and the three of them fell down instantly!

I don't know how long it took, Di Renjie woke up, a violent cough, next to Chang Ping and Chang An, the two of them also fainted, Di Renjie untied the water bag on Chang An's body, fed the two people some water, "cough cough ......" The two people coughed violently a few times and woke up!

Chang Ping looked around and found that the sky was dark at this time, and the surroundings were not the appearance of a desert at all, although there was still yellow sand everywhere, but there were more broken walls!

"My lord, where have we been?" Chang Ping asked!

"I don't know! It looks like a ruined city! Let's take a look! Di Renjie stood up and said!

The three of them shook off the yellow sand on their bodies, walked towards the collapsed brick walls, and came to a place that looked like a city gate, the city gate had already collapsed, and the ditch in front of the city had already been filled with yellow sand.

"My lord, what the hell is going on here, how did it come to such a dilapidated state, I remember that there is no such place on the map, on our return route?" Chang Ping asked in surprise!

Di Renjie looked at the ruins in front of him, and said slowly: "You see, although this place is dilapidated, but judging from these ruins, this city used to be quite large-scale. ”

"My lord, could it be that there was a fierce war here? So much so that the city was destroyed? Chang Ping asked!

"Well, there is this possibility, I have seen such a record in a history book before, hundreds of years ago, there was a place called the country of Troll, which was invaded by foreigners, and the city was breached, and at the moment when the city was broken, a big sandstorm suddenly broke out in the desert, burying the entire city, and since then there is no longer a place for Trolling on the desert!" Di Renjie said with emotion!

"My lord, is this the country of dragging?" Chang An asked in surprise!

"No, no, no, I just saw that this is associated with the stories I saw in the history books, and I can't conclude that this is the country of dragging, in this vast desert, I don't know how many large and small cities are buried under this yellow sand!" Di Renjie shook his head and said!

"My lord, what do we do now? We need to find our way back to Shuozhou quickly, huh? Otherwise, in the middle of this desert, we don't have enough water and food, which is too dangerous! Chang Ping said!

"Well, now it's dark, there is no sun, there are no stars, we can't tell the direction, we can only wait, after confirming the direction, we can continue on the road, so let's go inside again and see if there is anything we find!" Di Renjie said!

The three of them continued to walk forward, and as the road under their feet gradually deepened, some of the buildings were even less damaged, and some even looked undamaged!

"Why don't I go inside this house and take a look, maybe I'll find out!" Chang An said and ran out of an intact house!

Di Renjie hurriedly shouted: "Chang An, stop!" ”

Chang An was suddenly stunned, his hand had already pushed open the door of the house, and suddenly, with a bang, the house in front of Chang An collapsed, splashing bursts of smoke and dust, choking Chang An coughed and ran out quickly!

"My lord, what's going on?" Chang An asked in shock!

"This place has been buried in the ground for hundreds of years, the stone of this house may have long been weathered, although there is nothing unusual on the surface, but as long as the slightest external force may collapse instantly, we must not touch anything here!" Di Renjie reminded!

Chang Ping and Chang An nodded one after another, and suddenly, Chang Ping pointed to the distance and said, "My lord, look, there seems to be someone over there!" ”
