The dizziness didn't last long, and after about six or seven seconds, Ning Qi came back to his senses, and saw that Tao Donglai was putting away the thing that could glow green, and couldn't help but wonder: "You pulled me up the mountain in the middle of the night just to see this electronic flash bomb you made?"

"This isn't an electronic flashbang, it's a wormhole controller. Tao Donglai said solemnly: "The green light you just saw is actually a wormhole that can connect two time and space, and we are already in another time and space. ”

"Haha, this isn't ridiculous!" Ning Qi pointed to his nose and said, "I've known you Tao Donglai for more than ten years, but I haven't found out that you can brag so much." Do you dare to brag about something reliable?"

Tao Donglai didn't laugh, and neither did the other three, just looked at Ning Qi quietly.

Ning Qi shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay, even if what you say is true, then prove it to me." ”

"Follow me. Tao Donglai's tone was very calm, as if he had expected Ning Qi's reaction. The other three didn't say anything at all, as if it wasn't the first time they had experienced something like this. The more calm these people were, the more uneasy Ning Qi felt.

After burying his head and walking behind Tao Donglai for a while, Ning Qi finally found that something was wrong, the surrounding environment was too dark at this moment, the visibility of this section of the road was not so bad when he came just now, Yuexiu Mountain was in the bustling urban area after all, standing on the mountain and looking at it, the whole sky was reflected by the night lights, but now there was no trace of city lights in the sky above the treetops. Tao Donglai's flashlight pointed directly at his feet, illuminating only a very small area, and Ning Qi, who was following him, staggered to the ground.

Tao Donglai suddenly stopped and turned off the flashlight, so the whole team immediately stopped. Ning Qi vaguely saw that the other four people were squatting down, and he subconsciously followed the squatting down, and heard Tao Donglai say softly: "Look ahead." ”

Ning Qi squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and suddenly his heart was shocked, that Zhenhai Tower actually hung a few strings of lanterns on the eaves, and the city wall downstairs stretched to the left and right, and there was no end in sight in the recklessness of the night.

"No, there must be something wrong with this!" Ning Qi only felt a panic in his heart for no reason. He has also visited the ancient city wall near Zhenhai Tower, and the most well-preserved section is about 200 meters, and the city wall he sees in front of him is not only complete with the enemy tower, but also far more than 200 meters as far as the eye can see, and the trees within 100 steps outside the city wall are also cut clean, and no one can avoid the monitoring of the patrol on the city wall at this distance, this is not the ancient city wall of Yuexiu Mountain that he has seen in ruins at all!

"Let's go, let's go a little further down the wall. Tao Donglai's voice clearly reached Ning Qi's ears in the quiet air, waking him up from his contemplation.

So the small team hid in the woods and continued along the direction of the city wall. Judging by the location between the building and Zhenhai Tower, Ning Qi is sure that he should be near the Guangzhou Art Museum now, but not only is there no art museum here, but even the mountain road he walked up the mountain has disappeared without a trace. And on the wall that curved along the mountain, you could clearly see the sentries patrolling with lanterns. In fact, there is no need for more evidence, Ning Qi can already be sure that his current situation is just as Tao Donglai said!

Sure enough, he didn't go far, and further evidence once again confirmed Ning Qi's suspicion: a city gate appeared at the extension of the city wall. Ning Qi clearly remembers that he once saw the introduction of the ancient city wall of Guangzhou in Zhenhai Tower, and the city wall on Yuexiu Mountain was built by Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and this city gate must be the small north gate built at that time. In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the north city of Guangzhou was added, and the original foundation was heightened and thickened, and the city wall reached a height of two zhang and seven feet, and the city wall seen in front of him was obviously not so high, at most only two zhang, Ning Qi concluded that the time and space he is in now should be in a certain period of time between Ming Hongwu and Ming Chongzhen.

The five of them crouched in the bushes for about half an hour, and Tao Donglai didn't seem to have any intention of leading the team to visit other places, so he returned to the place where he had camped before.

Ning Qi only reacted after entering the tent: "Then can we go back?"

"Absolutely. Tao Donglai took out the "wormhole control device" and pressed a button.

Ning Qi was mentally prepared this time, the time of dizziness was shorter than the previous time, and as soon as his head cleared up, he stepped straight out of the tent Yes, he had returned to the original time and space, and the neon lights from the roof of the two-hundred-meter-high Pearl River International Building could be faintly seen in the distance.

Ning Qi was so shocked by this short journey of time and space for more than an hour that he didn't even ask any questions on the way back to the hotel. It wasn't until he returned to the room in a daze that he remembered that when they broke up in the parking lot just now, Tao Donglai seemed to say that he would come back in the morning to meet him. After the previous events, Ning Qi was almost certain that these people led by Tao Donglai were planning to wear to the Ming Dynasty to do something, and they called themselves to Guangzhou to show this miracle, and the purpose was definitely to pull themselves in!

The Ming Dynasty, the feudal dynasty that ruled China for nearly three hundred years, this great era that has disappeared in the long river of history, can become so accessible! As a history lover, as a pseudo-fan, Ning Qi will never let go of such an opportunity to realize his dreams, but to let go of the current Qiē back to the time and space hundreds of years ago, how can it be so easy to make up his mind!

Tao Donglai and his entourage of four came at eight o'clock in the morning, and Ning Qi opened the door with a pair of panda eyes and welcomed them in.

The first to speak was actually Bai Kesi: "Mr. Ning, I think you should have understood by now which period in history you saw before, right?"

Bai Kesi's words were quite a bit of an entrance examination, but Ning Qi had already deduced this many times, and there was nothing to hide now, so he directly said his speculation.

After listening to this, Tao Donglai nodded and said: "Your speculation is indeed correct, to be precise, it should be the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse, that is, in 1626 AD." ”

Ning Qi couldn't help but be stunned: "How do you know such an accurate time? You have already had contact with the Ming people of that time and space?"

Tao Donglai shook his head and said: "That's not true, if I, a modern person, appeared in Guangzhou City at that time, I would probably be directly tied up and killed as a widow." The reason why I know the time is because the last time I stayed there until dawn, I saw the notice posted outside the city gate with a telescope, and the payment was made in the year of the Apocalypse, and Lu Menglong, the envoy of Guangdong. ”

Tao Donglai came to put forward such clear evidence, the ancient city wall and city gate were also seen by Ning Qi with his own eyes, and they were consistent with the previous speculation, Ning Qi had nothing to doubt about this, so he had to ask helplessly: "Then you can sue me now, what is your purpose, right?"

"I hope you can join our team. Tao Donglai said as he pointed his fingers at several people present one by one: "We are going to use this wormhole to go to that time and space." ”

"What are you going to do? resell cultural relics or become an emperor? Also, why did you choose me?" Now that the truth has been revealed, Ning Qi relaxed and his tone became relaxed when he spoke.

"What to do on that plane is not something we decide to impose on you, but we make a decision together. Mr. Ning, as you said yesterday, the power of individuals is actually very weak in the face of an era, so we need to build a strong team first and be fully prepared before crossing over. Bai Kesi took Ning Qi's question and replied: " There are three reasons why I chose you, mainly because of Boss Tao's construction, first, you are a business administration major, and you have certain professional skills and knowledge in management, which is very important for us to build a well-structured team; second, your job is a university teacher, if we want to take root in another era, then education and culture can be said to be one of our foundations, and your understanding of the education system is exactly what we need; third, Boss Tao said that you have a relatively in-depth study of history and culture, especially the history of the Ming Dynasty, which is also very helpful for us to formulate future development plans。 ”

"And very importantly, you are the person I Tao Donglai can trust!" Tao Donglai added, and at the same time showed the familiar smile on Ning Qi's face.

After listening to this, Ning Qi closed his eyes and pondered silently, and the other people were not in a hurry to disturb him. This silence lasted for about five minutes before Ning Qi opened his eyes and said, "I have another question, if you really organize a team to travel through the past as you said, do you not plan to come back after you go?"

"I'll answer that question for you. Tao Donglai once again took out the "wormhole control device" and put it on the coffee table in front of Ning Qi: "This thing I got by accident three years ago, and I have used it more than ten times, and we found that this thing will show a scale when it is opened, and after repeated research, we think that it is a sign of its service life." At the moment, about a third or so remains, which means that we have about a year to a year and a half to take advantage of it. And the size of this wormhole is controllable, last year Bai Kesi and I went to the no-man's land of the Taklamakan Desert to do a test, this controller can at least enlarge the wormhole to a radius of 500 meters. Such a large space should be enough for us to assemble a large team and carry quite a lot of supplies. The question we have to face is not whether we can return to this time and space, but we must realize that the last time crossing will definitely be one-way, and we must be fully prepared for this crossing that will definitely come from now on. ”

"A year to a year and a half......," Ning Qi touched the slag on his chin with his fingers and muttered, "To prepare all kinds of materials and recruit manpower, the time is too tight, and you may not be able to complete the preparatory work you want to achieve." ”

"Actually, the preparations started a year ago. Bai Kesi pointed to himself: "Boss Tao and I started planning and preparing last year, and Yan Chujie and Gu Kai were brought in by us half a year ago. ”

Ning Qi glared at Tao Donglai and said, "Okay, you Tao Donglai, you are embarrassed to say that you trust me, you just play alone, obviously it took a year to pull me into the gang after forming a team?"

Tao Donglai said with a smile: "You have wronged me, I asked you to come to Guangzhou in August last year, you said that you couldn't come to the provincial party school for further study, do you remember?"

Ning Qi thought about it, it seemed that there was really such a thing, and he said stupidly: "I was studying at that time to add weight to the evaluation of the title of associate professor, of course, I can't just leave...... Besides, I don't know how strange the situation is on your side. ”

"It's not too late now!" Yan Chujie patted Ning Qi's shoulder hard: "Joining the party in the line of fire is just a meritorious service!"

"How about joining us?" Tao Donglai asked as he stared at Ning Qi with a hopeful expression.

Ning Qi thought about it, and finally nodded heavily, and at this moment, the faces of the five people showed a relaxed expression.
