Chapter 6: The Dry Corpse Array

1

After being stunned for a while, Tang Feng and Han Jiang had the courage to walk up to the dry corpse, after all, Han Jiang was bolder than Tang Feng, almost sticking to the hideous face of the dry corpse, and looked at it, "The head was injured by a sharp weapon, and he was killed with one blow." ”

"Can you tell if he was killed by some sharp weapon?"

Han Jiang shook his head, "I can't see it now, unless you can find the weapon." ”

"Well, I'll talk about this dried corpse. From the hairstyle and the decomposing clothing on the corpse, it can be concluded that this man was a Mongolian sergeant before his death. ”

"Mongol sergeant?"

"Well, it's the relics of Mongolia again, all we found along the way are the relics of Mongolia, but we haven't seen the remains of Western Xia."

"So I said if we were on the wrong track."

"Nope! The appearance of this dried corpse just shows that we are not wrong. ”

"Oh!"

"You already said that this Mongolian sergeant was wounded by a sharp weapon, so who killed him?"

"You mean the party guys!"

"To be precise, it should be the party member of Hanhai Mi City."

"I hope your reasoning is correct, but we need more evidence."

"Evidence? There will be. Tang Feng said, looking back, at this moment, the sky was brighter than just now, Tang Feng found that there were some low and dilapidated houses on both sides of South Street, and there seemed to be some tall buildings in the north of the city, "It seems that just like most towns in China, the south of Qianhu Town should be the houses of the people." ”

"There are also civilians in the military fortress?" Han Jiang shook his head.

"Don't forget, the army is stationed in the desert, isolated, supplies and livelihood have to rely on merchants, craftsmen, plus the families of the army, these people should live in Nancheng."

Han Jiang nodded, "Okay, even if you're right, but what about the city gate?" ”

"Don't worry, look here." Tang Feng walked into the mezzanine on the east side of the rammed earth wall, He found that the southeast and southwest two residential areas were intricate, on one side were uninhabited houses, and on the other side was the still strong rammed earth city wall, Tang Feng walked about forty steps to the east, and the mezzanine road came to an abrupt end, and here, a road appeared on the north side of the rammed earth wall, the road was not wide, but it was much wider than the narrow mezzanine. On the rammed earth wall facing the road, a gate was revealed.

"Sure enough, there is a city gate, but why not build the city gate at the end of South Street, but build it here?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

"This is called the secret gate, and it was deliberately opened here when the city was built. In this way, once the enemy enters the city from the city gate, what he sees is not the wide south street, but the intricate dwellings, and the enemy who is not familiar with the situation in the city is likely to be dizzy, while the defender can still rely on the complex streets and alleys near the city gate to deal with the enemy, and even drive the enemy out of the city. Tang Feng explained.

"Then do you say that the Mongol sergeant just now was on the side defending the city or on the side attacking it?" Han Jiang asked.

Tang Feng pondered for a while and shook his head, "It's hard to say, originally the Mongolian army should be the attacking side, and the party members should be the defending side, but the situation we saw along the way was not like this!" ”

The two of them said, they had already walked under the city gate, maybe it was the accumulation of time, maybe it was deliberately done by the people who guarded the city back then, a thick pile of soil was piled up under the city gate, Tang Feng and Han Jiang had to climb over this earthen wall, but outside the city gate, what was shown in front of them was not the vast Gobi Desert, but another city, and what surprised the two even more was the mountain of dried corpses in the city.

The originally low rammed earth wall seems to have grown a section of the city wall, and the irregular semicircle and the original rammed earth wall have formed a closed small city.

"What's going on?" Han Jiang was stunned and a little dizzy.

"I can't imagine that this small city is so complicated to build, this is an urn city."

"Urn City?"

"Have you seen it at the front door of Beijing?"

"I understand that when fighting, the defender can put the enemy into the urn city, and then close the outer city gate, forming a situation of catching turtles in the urn. It seems that this is really a well-defended military fortress. ”

Han Jiang seemed to understand, he looked up at the city gate above his head, Tang Feng patted Han Jiang on the shoulder, "Don't look at it, there is a jack gate on it, let's take a look at these dried corpses." ”

Although Tang Feng had made the greatest psychological preparations, when he was really in this dried corpse, he still couldn't help but gag again and again, Han Jiang wore gloves and turned over a dried corpse in a Mongolian military uniform, and it was a hideous face that had not yet decomposed, followed by another one, Han Jiang cleaned up more than a dozen dried corpses in a row, and what shocked him was that these dried corpses were all Mongolian soldiers, "Could it be that only these Mongolian soldiers have become dry corpses, and their enemies have all rotted?" Han Jiang stood beside the tired corpse, panting and shouting.

"Rotting should also leave bones, not to mention the drought and lack of rain here, since the corpses of the Mongol soldiers can be preserved, then their enemies should also be preserved!" Tang Feng replied.

"And their dried corpses? Could it be ......" Han Jiang suddenly stopped.

"What do you think of? Say it! ”

"Could it be that the bones of those who built the Jingguan outside the city belong to the party?" Han Jiang speculated.

Tang Feng shook his head and said in confusion: "If the Jingguan outside the city was built by the Mongols, then why didn't they clean up the corpses of their comrades-in-arms in the city, this is not in line with common sense." ”

"And why do you say that?" Han Jiang was even more confused.

"There is only one explanation for this situation, and that is that after the Mongol warriors in front of us were killed, the Mongol army never returned here."

"But in the war between Mongolia and Western Xia, the Mongol army was the final victor? Could it be that the Mongol sergeants here were not killed by the Dangxiang people, but by the Ming army after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty? The more Han Jiang thought about it, the more unreliable he became.

"Ming Army? This is impossible, firstly, we see the year name of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, not like the relics of the last years of the Yuan Dynasty; Second, it is impossible for the Ming army to kill from the northwest, so it can't be the Ming army, and the enemy of these Mongolian soldiers is most likely to be the Dangxiang people in Hanhai Micheng, but there are too many mysteries here, and we can't solve them now. ”

"It seems that there was a massacre here at the last moment, everyone died, and the town of Senhe became a ruined city, no! It should be a dead city! ”

"Dead City?" When Han Jiang mentioned this word, Tang Feng's heart trembled violently, and he calmed down for a while before he spoke: "I think the bones in the Jingguan outside the city should still be from the party, they were all killed years before Qianhu Town was slaughtered, or even decades ago. ”

"Oh! Why? ”

"First, the climate here is dry and rainy, and the corpses will not decay easily. Second, the Mongols destroyed the Western Xia in the early 13th century, and Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty after the middle of the 13th century, so I deduce that the bones of the Dangxiang people in Jingguan outside the city were built years or even decades before the massacre of Qianhu Town. ”

"In other words, after the fall of Western Xia, the party members of Hanhai Micheng still fought with the Mongols for decades?!" Although Han Jiang agreed with Tang Feng's inference, he was still a little stunned.

"Yes, from Genghis Khan to his grandson - Kublai Khan." Tang Feng looked at the dried corpse in front of him and smiled helplessly.

"Unresolved hatred, according to your inference, the Mongols built the bones of the Dangxiang people into a Jingguan, showing off their martial arts, and the Dangxiang people later retaliated, and on a full moon night, the town of Qianhu was washed with blood, and since then, no one in the town of Qianhu has dared to approach."

"Who told you it was a full moon night?"

"That's what I say in movies!" Han Jiang smiled bitterly.

Tang Feng took a few steps forward with difficulty, and before he knew it, he had come to the center of the urn city, and when he looked around, Tang Feng was right in the middle of hundreds of dried corpses, Tang Feng couldn't help but tremble, and he felt dizzy in front of him, he suddenly felt that he was in a huge corpse array, and the dried corpses around him instantly regained their lives, stood up, and surrounded themselves with hideous faces......

3

Tang Feng was dizzy and unsteady on his feet, and he fell straight to the pile of dried corpses at his feet, but fortunately, Han Jiang reacted quickly and helped Tang Feng, who was about to fall to the ground.

Tang Feng shook his head vigorously, and then looked at the dried corpses around, the dried corpses did not recover their lives, they were still lying here quietly like thousands of years, "I have seen it here, let's go back!" Han Jiang proposed.

However, Tang Feng broke free from Han Jiang, waved his hand, and said, "I think we should find something else in these dried corpses." ”

"Found what? It's not all a dried corpse with a hideous face! Han Jiang was puzzled.

Tang Feng walked straight to the gate of the city in the southeast direction, Han Jiang had to follow, Tang Feng picked up a dried corpse, this dried corpse was pierced with a sharp weapon in the chest, a big and deep hole! "Judging by the wound, it was pierced from the front by a long weapon." Han Jiang judged calmly.

"Long weapons? What will it be? ”

Han Jiang pursed his mouth, "It's right at your feet." ”

Tang Feng hurriedly took a step back, only to find that in the loess, a thick wooden pole that had been cracked and shrunk was faintly exposed, this wooden pole was as thick as a bowl, Tang Feng reached out and wanted to pull this wooden pole out of the soil, but he tried hard with all his strength, and tried several times but failed to pull out this wooden pole!

Han Jiang smiled: "I see that your kid's strength is obviously not as good as before!" ”

"Then you come!" Tang Feng shook his hand and quit.

"I'll come, I'll come!" Han Jiang took the wooden pole and exerted seventy percent of his strength, the wooden pole was buried in the soil, still not moving, Han Jiang was surprised, so he had to use all his strength and shouted, and then pulled out the wooden pole buried in the soil.

Both of them were stunned, and Tang Feng stared at the thick wooden pole in Han Jiang's hand for a long time before muttering, "I...... It's the first time I've ever seen a spear so thick and so long! ”

Yes, in Han Jiang's hand was a spear with a thick bowl mouth and a length of three or four meters, "No wonder the wound on this dried corpse is big and deep, it turns out to be ...... With such a long spear, how could the ancients hold it when they were fighting? I've only seen ...... books before," Han Jiang said incoherently.

Tang Feng looked at the spear, and then looked up at the surrounding city walls, "It seems that this spear belongs to the Western Xia, he is not used to fight the enemy alone, but to throw, this Mongolian sergeant was stabbed to death by the spear thrown from the city wall!" ”

"The spear-throwing warrior must have been very powerful."

"Yes, I'd love to see what kind of Hercules throws spears so long and heavy."

"Don't talk nonsense, soon these dried corpses will be resurrected, and you will stop cooking!" Han Jiang lowered his voice and warned Tang Feng, like that, as if he was afraid of waking up these dry corpses that had been sleeping for hundreds of years around him.

The two took a few steps forward, and Tang Feng found arrows on several dried corpses, and after just one glance, Tang Feng concluded, "These are all arrows from Western Xia, it seems that these Mongolian dried corpses did die at the hands of party members." ”

"I still can't believe that after the fall of Western Xia, the party members can still have such strong combat effectiveness!" Han Jiang shook his head, unable to believe Tang Feng's inference.

The two unconsciously walked to the city gate of the urn city, at this time, the dawn had broken in the east, here, Tang Feng saw an even more incredible scene, the city gate of the urn city had been sealed by a wall of earth and stone made of stones and rammed earth.

Han Jiang pulled out his dagger and stabbed the sealed earth and stone wall in the city gate, and the solid earth and stone wall couldn't even penetrate Han Jiang's sharp dagger, Han Jiang couldn't help but be amazed.

Tang Feng took Han Jiang's dagger, stabbed it a few times in the lower part of the earth and stone wall, and then fiddled with it a few times, and said slowly: "The entire earth and stone wall is poured with molten iron, and the hot molten iron instantly condenses the stone and soil together, forming a solid iron wall, so after hundreds of years, it is still extremely strong. ”

"No wonder! It turns out that this is the iron wall. Han Jiang looked up at the earth and stone wall in front of him again, "But who did this?" Why block the city gates? Defending the city, or besieging it? It doesn't seem to make sense! ”

"Yes! I'm also thinking about this problem, if the side defending the city blocks the city gate in order to strengthen the defense, this can be explained, but then the side defending the city will not be able to communicate with the outside world, and supplies will not be able to come in, unless it ......"

"Unless the people in the city know that there can be no more reinforcements and supplies outside, so they swear to die and simply block the city gate." Han Jiang speculated.

"I can't rule out this possibility, but it's too tragic, and if the side defending the city is a Mongol army, they can't be isolated, so there is no need to take this method at all."

"That's the besieging side, but why should the besieging side block the city gates?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

Tang Feng couldn't figure it out for a while, he squatted down and carefully looked around the earth and stone wall, he found a large amount of iron slag on the ground in front of the earth and stone wall, and there were some dried corpses on the armor, and then look at the surrounding area of the urn city gate, the dried corpses were particularly dense, dense, stacked in front of the city gate, and all the dried corpses were facing the city gate of the urn city, suddenly, Tang Feng found that at his feet, a dry corpse was still intact, but the hands and arms of the dry corpse were only left with white bones, and white flowers were presented in front of their eyes.

Tang Feng trembled, staring at the strange dried corpse in front of him, he found iron slag around the hands and arms of the dried corpse Bai Huahua, and at this time, a terrifying and bloody picture appeared in front of Tang Feng's eyes...... The Mongolian soldiers first retreated to the south gate, and the party people put down the jack gate on the south gate, and the Mongolian soldiers in the city had to run to the gate of the urn city, trying to open the gate of the urn city, killing a bloody road, and highlighting the siege. But at this moment, the party who had just captured the gate of the urn city threw a large number of stones and loess on the city gate, blocking the gate of the urn city, and the Mongolian soldiers desperately moved away the stones and loess, just at this critical moment, the boiling molten iron poured down from the city gate, and the sergeant who was digging the earth and stones in front of him was instantly robbed of his hands by the hot molten iron, and the heart-rending wail spread throughout the urn city, and then, the revenge sword of the party members, and the spear of revenge were shot at these Mongolian soldiers like raindrops, A bloody massacre began.

Han Jiang patted Tang Feng, who was deep in thought, "We should go back, Liang Yuan is still in the car?" ”

Tang Feng came back to his senses from his thoughts, yes, Liang Yuan was still in the car, although they didn't go far, but they were delayed by these dried corpses for a lot of time, Liang Yuan must be in a hurry, thinking of this, Tang Feng picked up a Xixia arrow, then walked two steps, retreated to the south gate, when the two of them stood under the south gate again, Tang Feng instinctively looked up at the jack gate on the door, the jack gate of the jack gate has gone through hundreds of years, it is still sharp, and it is slightly flashing under the rising sun, Tang Feng can't help but be secretly surprised.

The two walked out of the south gate, and there were two roads in front of them, one was the sandwich road they walked when they came, and the other was a diagonal street wider than the mezzanine road, Han Jiang just wanted to go back along the sandwich road when he came, but was grabbed by Tang Feng, "We might as well take this diagonal street, according to my speculation, this diagonal street should also lead to South Street." ”

Han Jiang hesitated, did not object, followed Tang Feng into the diagonal street, the two walked more than sixty steps, a wall appeared in front of them, the diagonal street actually turned a corner, the two turned into a narrow laneway, and walked more than thirty steps, another bend, or a narrow laneway, Tang Feng couldn't help but regret a little, he shouldn't rush into this complicated laneway, he secretly quickened his pace, after more than forty steps, another wall appeared in front of him, and when the two walked to the wall, Tang Feng was completely dumbfounded, this is a dead end.

"It's all your good idea, it's good, it's a dead end." Han Jiang complained about Tang Feng.

"Go back." Tang Feng said categorically.

Han Jiang shook his head helplessly, so he had to follow Tang Feng and retreat, but something that made them collapse happened, they walked more than a hundred steps in the alleyway, and they didn't see the diagonal street when they came in.

It was another dead end, at the end of the dead end, Han Jiang leaned against the wall, panting and began to count Tang Feng, "You really threw yourself into the net, you forgot what you said in front of the south gate." ”

"I haven't forgotten, I said that this place was probably built to confuse the enemy troops attacking the city."

"Just remember, now we're trapped in here." Han Jiang shouted.

"I didn't expect it to be so complicated here......" Tang Feng said, leaning weakly against the wall behind him, who expected, when his body leaned against the wall, the wall behind him changed, squeaked—a thick layer of dust raised at any time, and a dark room appeared behind the wall.

Tang Feng was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back, and when the wall stopped turning, he realized that there was a secret door here, Tang Feng was bold and walked into this dark room with Han Jiang, "It seems that the entire Thousand Households Town has undergone detailed planning and design before it was built, and the layout inside is reasonable and the organs are heavy." Han Jiang sighed.

"Yes! I don't know who designed this ancient town. ”

"Didn't you deduce that there was no Qianhu Town in the Western Xia Dynasty, and Qianhu Town was established by the Mongols?" Han Jiang asked Tang Feng rhetorically.

"Yes, I used to think so, but now I'm a little confused."

The two were talking, suddenly, Tang Feng felt that something under his feet tripped over him, in the dark room, Tang Feng couldn't see his feet clearly, so he had to push away the flashlight and shine it at his feet, and there was another dried corpse, this dry corpse was also wearing the armor of a Mongolian sergeant, and his face was extremely distorted because of pain, the difference was that this Mongolian sergeant was not killed by arrows, nor was he pierced to death by spears, but died under the chaotic knife, and his whole body was full of knife marks!

Tang Feng bypassed the dried corpse and groped in front of the door, he pushed open the door, and a ray of hot sunlight pierced in, shining into the black house that had been closed for hundreds of years, Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked out of the door and came to a patio, the patio was not big, but there were three dried corpses of Mongolian soldiers lying inside, without exception, all of them died under the knife.

Han Jiang stared at the dried corpses in the patio and couldn't help muttering, "You said that this intricate alleyway is to confuse the enemies who attacked the city, but what we saw were the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers defending the city, and we didn't see any corpses of the party members, do you think this is normal?" ”

"The party people washed the town of Qianhu garrisoned by the Mongols, is this explanation enough?" Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang helplessly.

"Of course it's not enough, isn't it possible that such a complicated alleyway can't stump those party members in Hanhai Mi City?" Han Jiang asked Tang Feng rhetorically.

"Maybe they're familiar with this place in the first place."

"What do you mean? ……”

Before Han Jiang finished speaking, a scream came from outside the patio, Tang Feng immediately realized that it was Liang Yuan's voice, his heart was pounded suddenly, and then a dull gunshot came from the distance.

6

Tang Feng and Han Jiang slammed open a door at the other end of the patio, a room exactly the same as just now, there were still two dried corpses lying horizontally in it, Tang Feng desperately rushed to the door on the other side of the room, Han Jiang grabbed Tang Feng and signaled him to be careful, Tang Feng tried his best to keep himself calm, tiptoed to the door of the house, Tang Feng could already clearly hear his heartbeat, there was a sudden slight sound of footsteps on the other side of the door, Tang Feng wondered if he had heard it wrong, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and listened attentivelyYes, the slight footsteps behind the door were approaching this side, from far and near......

Tang Feng's eyes widened, he still couldn't believe that in this empty Thousand Households Town...... He looked back at Han Jiang, Han Jiang obviously heard the footsteps as well, Tang Feng saw that the dagger in Han Jiang's hand was flashing with cold light, and he knew that Han Jiang was ready for battle.

Tang Feng slammed open the door in front of him, and the most terrifying face in his life appeared in front of him, that hideous face made Tang Feng unable to bear it anymore, he screamed loudly, almost at the same time, a terrible female voice also screamed, half a minute later, Tang Feng felt a little lack of oxygen in his brain, and stopped to hear that the female voice was actually Liang Yuan's voice!

The dry corpse that stood between Tang Feng and Liang Yuan fell, and when the dust cleared, a beautiful face appeared in front of Tang Feng, and the two hugged each other tightly.

"How did you get here?" Tang Feng asked Liang Yuan.

"You still say that I, you left me alone in the car, and I won't come for such a long time!" Liang Yuan blamed Tang Feng.

"It's me who is not good, we are lost here, so ......" Tang Feng turned around to look at Han Jiang, who had already put away the dagger.

"You were the same one who screamed just now?" Han Jiang asked Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan nodded aggrievedly, "It's really terrible here, there is not a single living person, but there are so many dried corpses!" ”

"Did you see the dried corpses too?" Tang Feng asked.

"Isn't this one?"

Tang Feng only took a closer look at the room in front of him at this time, no, this is not a room, but a corridor, and there is a room connected to the end of the corridor, and the terrible corpse just now turned out to be hanging from the beam of the corridor.

"This dried corpse doesn't look like a soldier, but like a small businessman, and he didn't die in battle, but hanged himself." Han Jiang quickly judged.

"Also...... And women, children...... Kid......" Liang Yuan said tremblingly.

"Woman? Child? Tang Feng was a little stunned.

"Yes, just ...... I just ran into a woman's corpse and screamed! Liang Yuan was still shocked. He...... They're in that room......"

Liang Yuan pointed to the room at the end of the aisle, buried his head deep in Tang Feng's arms, and Han Jiang followed the direction of Liang Yuan's finger, took two quick steps, and walked towards the room.

The three of them came to the room at the end of the aisle, and in front of them was a horrific scene that they will never forget, a woman hanging high from the beams of the room, on the kang under the inner wall, and five children lying side by side with brushes,—— to be exact, five twisted little dried corpses.

7

Han Jiang took a rough look, "There are boys and girls, between the ages of three and seven, and they should all have died of suffocation." ”

"Suffocation?" Liang Yuan exclaimed quietly.

"It's for suffocation!"

"Who suffocated them to death?" Liang Yuan stared at Han Jiang with frightened eyes.

Han Jiang glanced at the woman hanging from the beam and said, "It's this woman, their mother." ”

"Ahh Liang Yuan couldn't believe it.

"Or maybe it's their father, the man in the hallway!" Han Jiang reasoned again.

"This ...... How is this possible? Liang Yuan shook her head, still unable to believe it.

"Yes, I think so." Tang Feng patted Liang Yuan on the shoulder, "When the city was broken, the father and mother first suffocated their children, and then hanged themselves. ”

"Too ...... It's cruel! Liang Yuan didn't dare to take another look.

Han Jiang pushed open the door of this room, and the strong sunlight shone in, shining into this dusty house for hundreds of years, Han Jiang gulped the fresh air outside the house, and swept around the house with his eyes, this is a courtyard, and there seems to be a main house in front. Han Jiang didn't rush to the main house in front, he turned around and went back to the house, and suddenly asked Liang Yuan, "Did you hear the gunshots just now?" ”

"Gunshots?" Liang Yuan shook his head.

"Right after you scream!" Han Jiang stared at Liang Yuan.

"I was too ...... I was so scared, so nervous, I didn't hear any gunshots at all......" Liang Yuan tried to recall.

"Is that weird? Where did the gunshots come from? Han Jiang was still staring at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan was looked at by Han Jiang, "Captain Han, why are you looking at me like this?" Do you suspect that I fired the gun? Where did I get my gun? ”

Han Jiang was still staring at Liang Yuan, and Tang Feng hurriedly defended Liang Yuan: "We set off together, how could Liang Yuan have a gun!" Don't be cranky. ”

After listening to Tang Feng's words, Han Jiang took his eyes off Liang Yuan, he looked around the room again, and finally fell on Tang Feng again, "We don't have guns, so where did the gunshots come from?" Could it be that the two of us are hallucinating? ”

"This ......" Tang Feng was speechless for a while.

"Could it be that there are other people in this dead city where no one is around?" Liang Yuan suddenly exclaimed.

Liang Yuan's words shocked Tang Feng's back for a while, is there anyone else in this intricate and empty dead city? Han Jiang was still calm, "It's completely possible, don't forget the two rut marks on the Gobi Desert." ”

"Yes, our old friend won't give up, but ...... But the two rut marks on the Gobi Desert disappeared later, and they didn't enter the town? Tang Feng wondered.

"Who knows? All I know is that they have guns in their hands, and I don't want a fresh corpse to pop up in this dead city except for the disgusting dried corpses! After Han Jiang finished speaking, he strode out of the house and walked towards the main room in front.

"Fresh corpses?" Tang Feng was still reminiscing about Han Jiang's words, and Han Jiang's words made his stomach churn.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan followed Han Jiang to the front of the main house, Liang Yuan pointed to the door in front of the main house, and said, "Outside is South Street, I came in from here just now." ”

Tang Feng and Han Jiang glanced outside the gate, and it was indeed the South Street they walked through, Han Jiang turned around and looked at the main house, and said jokingly: "It seems that this family is also a big family here, and the yard is quite big." ”

After that, Han Jiang kicked open the crumbling door of the main house, and walked into the main house, there were finally no disgusting dried corpses here, the dilapidated main house was empty, only a few chairs were crooked, Han Jiang just wanted to leave, but Tang Feng found a box in the corner on the east side of the main house, "Come and see, what is this?" ”

Han Jiang walked over and picked up the box in the corner, who expected, the wooden box had already been fragile after more than seven hundred years, as soon as Han Jiang picked it up, the wooden box fell apart, accompanied by the box that was split into several pieces, and a large amount of dust or powder poured out of the box, Han Jiang, who had been trained in chemical defense, secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly dropped the broken wooden block in his hand and stepped back, "Damn, biological and chemical weapons!" When the powder dispersed, Han Jiang cursed.

Tang Feng was touched by the dust and the unknown substance, he patted the dust on his body, walked over, picked up a wooden board, gently brushed off the dust on it, and a line of regular script Chinese characters appeared on the wooden board - the spirit of Zhang Gongzhi Yuan Mansion of Xingqing Mansion.

"What is this?" Liang Yuan asked tremblingly.

"An urn." Tang Feng replied calmly.

"Urn! I said how so much powder, it turned out to be ashes! It's either a dried corpse or ashes, it's unlucky! Han Jiang complained.

"It's bad luck, but this urn gives us some valuable information."

"Oh, what can you tell from this broken box?"

Tang Feng was not in a hurry to answer Han Jiang, and turned out another wooden board from a pile of rags, this board looked exactly the same as the one just now, Tang Feng also found words on it, but these words are very small, and they are also Chinese characters in regular script - the Great Khan's conquest, which affected my generation, and I couldn't return to my hometown to go west, so I temporarily borrowed this box to comfort my father's soul and comfort my heart.

"What can you tell from that in just this stripe?" Han Jiang urged.

"If I'm not mistaken, this family's surname is Zhang, the ancestral home is Xingqing Mansion, it should be Han people, they are not merchants, but a family of craftsmen, the 'Great Khan' here should refer to the Great Khan of Mongolia, the Great Khan wants to use troops against the last stubborn party members in Hanhai Mi City, and wants to build this thousand-household town, so the Zhang family was requisitioned here, and his father, that is, Zhang Yuanfu died here, but he can't go home for burial, so he can only temporarily place the ashes of Zhang Yuanfu in this box." Tang Feng said his own inference.

"But what does that mean?" Liang Yuan was puzzled.

"This confirms my previous judgment that, firstly, the town was a well-built military fortress, and for the purpose of building it, the Mongol Khan recruited a large number of craftsmen who designed the intricate streets and fortified fortresses; Second, the construction time here should be very long, so that two generations of the Zhang family lived here until the town of Qianhu was slaughtered. Tang Feng explained.

Liang Yuan looked at the labyrinthine houses behind, "These craftsmen built this place......

"Well, but they died here too."

"Okay, don't archaeology, now that we've found a way out, let's get out of here!" Han Jiang was not interested in Tang Feng's evidence, and he was still thinking about the mysterious gunfire in his heart.
