"These people of the Jokhang Kingdom are all people who are untrustworthy in their words."

The eldest prince used his waist knife to cut at the rocks for a while, but to no avail.

When the eldest prince was tired of chopping, he sat down on a stone and gasped for air, and an older veteran stepped forward and said to the eldest prince.

"The eldest prince, it's not a pity for me to die, but your status is noble, you can't fold here, it's better for the eldest prince to go down the hanging basket from the city wall, maybe you can escape a catastrophe."

When the old soldier said this, the eldest prince frowned.

"No, how can my Che clan boy be a greedy man who is afraid of death, the herald, show the Jokhang Kingdom garrison map handed over by Ye Shikun to this prince."

As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, the herald ran forward, took out a piece of parchment from his bosom, and the eldest prince carefully examined the garrison map, and then ordered the remnants to flee to the west gate.

Su Ruanmei, Murong Di and the others saw that Yunxiao had entered from the east city gate, so they drove to the west city gate on a whim, and when they arrived at the west city gate, they happened to encounter the eldest prince.

Su Ruanmei and Murong Di originally brought 5,000 infantry, but they encountered the remnants of the eldest prince's 1,000 troops, and they were defeated, and in the end Su Ruanmei and Murong Di were captured by the eldest prince, Yunxiao and others rushed to the West City Gate, the second prince had already brought tens of thousands of people to support, and the two armies fought again, and finally fought undefeated.

Yunxiao was also annoyed and angry after learning that King Zheng was killed and Yunxiao and Murong Di were captured, he wanted to pursue the Qi people, but the Qi people had already retreated, Qin Hu thought that the plan for the present was to stick to the city, as for how to rescue Su Ruanmei and Murong Di, he could only wait for the opportunity and think in the long run.

Yunxiao and Qin Hu cleaned up the mess of defending the city, and reintegrated and deployed the troops in the city to garrison, as for the death of King Zheng and the capture of Su Ruanmei, Yunxiao did not dare to report to the imperial court, but wrote a big break in the newspaper The enemy cavalry tens of thousands, the little emperor was overjoyed after receiving the news, and then ordered to reward the three armies.

Su Ruanmei and Murong Di and a group of prisoners of war were brought back to the Dadian Mansion in the capital of Beirong by Silu Mengtai and Silu Zhongkang, in order to prevent their identities from being recognized by the locality, Su Ruanmei disguised herself as a soldier, while Murong Di disguised herself as a deputy general.

After Silu Mengtai captured these prisoners of war and wanted to execute them one by one, but Silu Zhongkang felt that it might be useful to keep these people, and recently the Beirong Kingdom was building a mausoleum for the emperor, and it also needed a lot of coolies to open the mountain and move stones.

Su Ruanmei and Murong Di stayed in the prison of the Great Dian Mansion for a few days, and then they were transferred to Shiye City further north.

Although Su Ruanmei was born poor, she has never done this kind of coolie, and now she is as tired as a dog with a group of stinky men digging rocks every day, and she occasionally works a little slower, and she is also thrown two whips by the guards who guard them, and that kind of pain is not something that ordinary people can bear.

When it was time to eat at noon, Murong Di brought Su Ruanmei two wowotou, and he himself drank some shepherd's cabbage soup.

"Hey, I really shouldn't have had a brain pump at the beginning, I actually thought about entering from Xicheng, this Silu Mengtai is too perverted, one person can cut a hundred, he should really be called Silu perverted."

Su Ruanmei took a bite of the nest and said angrily.

"Don't complain, now that we have become someone else's prisoner, I just hope that they can come to save us soon, otherwise we will really die in a foreign land."

After Murong Di finished speaking, he drank another cup of purple cabbage soup, and he felt that it was sour.

"No, we can't sit still, when you work in the afternoon, you go and contact the brothers of the Jokhang Kingdom who were arrested at the beginning, and we have to find a way to escape from this hellish place."

When Su Ruanmei said this, Murong Di also nodded slightly.

"By the way, what are these Covenant people doing when they find so many craftsmen to come over? In such a remote place as this Shiye City, it doesn't look like a palace or a city is going to be built. ”

Su Ruanmei asked Murong Di very curiously, Murong Di looked around, and said to Su Ruanmei very quietly.

"It should be a mausoleum, I think the emperor of Beirong is not young, maybe he will die one day, if there is no mausoleum to bury after death, how embarrassing it is."

Su Ruanmei nodded slightly after listening to Murong Di's words.

"It makes sense, it is said that the emperors of ancient times began to build mausoleums as soon as they ascended the throne, and now it seems to be true."

As soon as Su Ruanmei's words fell, a loud noise came from not far away, and the officials of the Governor Jiandu immediately ran over with people.

"What's going on?"

Su Ruanmei asked curiously, and a Jokhang craftsman sitting next to Su Ruanmei replied to her helplessly.

"This is the sixth time, and every time the underground palace is repaired, it will be ruined as soon as it rains. What do you think we're going to do? ”

After the old worker finished speaking, Su Ruanmei nodded slightly.

"So that's the case, is the construction ability of the Qi people so poor?"

When Su Ruanmei said this, the craftsman waved his hand.

"This little brother, you don't know, this underground building is much more difficult to repair than the above-ground building, and in terms of construction alone, the Qi people are completely incomparable with our Jokhang people."

After the old craftsman finished speaking, a Covenant soldier came over and took the old craftsman away.

When the old craftsman came back, Su Ruanmei asked him about the specific situation of the underground palace, and the old craftsman said that there was an undercurrent under the ground, and it was not suitable to build a mausoleum here, but the Qi people were dead-headed, saying that the mausoleum must be built here, because this is the hairline texture of their Qi people, where the dragon veins are, and they were helpless against the old craftsmen, so the Qi people decided to sacrifice the land in a provocative way, so that the project could be completed smoothly.

"Provocation? What is this? ”

Regarding Su Ruanmei's question, the old craftsman shook his head helplessly.

"It is to sacrifice the living to the god of the earth."

After the old craftsman finished speaking, Su Ruanmei showed a worried look.

"They won't sacrifice us prisoners of war to the gods."

The old craftsman laughed when he saw Su Ruanmei's very frightened look.

"You can rest assured that according to the tradition of the Qi people, such a big event of sacrificing heaven and earth is generally only qualified by the royal children of the Qi clan, and they look down on prisoners of war."

After the old craftsman finished speaking, he picked up the hookah and smoked two puffs, Su Ruanmei felt that the old craftsman seemed to be very powerful, so she chatted with the old craftsman about the construction of Kanyu, and the old craftsman saw that this little brother with fine skin and tender meat seemed to be very unusual, and he was very good at talking, so he had the urge to accept him as an apprentice.
