The three of them walked out of Zhang's house and came to the South Street, and after a few steps, Tang Feng saw their donkey, at this time, the sky was already bright, the wind had stopped, the whole ancient castle was silent, the scorching sun on the Gobi Desert shone on the ancient castle, and the temperature rose rapidly, but Tang Feng's heart was still shrouded in haze.

Tang Feng looked back to the north, and the north of the city revealed the roofs of some large buildings, but standing on South Street, he couldn't see the square they set out from at all, nor could he see North Street, "The streets in Qianhu Town seem to be straight, but in fact, they are all built in a certain arc. ”

"So we're standing on South Street, but we can't see North Street." Liang Yuan also found a clue, "Could it be that this is also due to the need for military defense?" ”

"I think so!"

"Okay, think about what we're going to do next, shall we?" Han Jiang shouted impatiently.

"It seems that we are luckier than Misha, and we are still safe and sound." Tang Feng is also thinking about the next step.

"I think let's take it when we see it, Qianhu Town is not our destination, now that it is dawn and the wind has stopped, we can continue to hurry." Han Jiang said his plan.

Tang Feng was also a little moved, he didn't want to be surrounded by these terrible dried corpses, so it was better to leave this ghost place as soon as possible...... Tang Feng turned his head suddenly, and suddenly, he felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them in the gate of Zhang's house, he took two quick steps and came to the door of Zhang's house, there was no one! As in the scene he had just seen, there was nothing, not even the footprints he had left in front of the door were clearly visible.

Tang Feng walked back to the donkey in a distraction, and after getting into the car, Han Jiang urged: "Don't be suspicious, this is an empty city, a dead city, no one from the scientific expedition team came in to investigate except Misha, and our old friends will not be interested here, so let's not waste time here." ”

"What about the gunshot?" Tang Feng was still hesitating.

"It doesn't matter what gunshots he sounds, even if we want to figure out the gunshots, we should get out first!"

"Why?" Tang Feng was puzzled.

Han Jiang slapped the steering wheel vigorously, "Because I have a very bad feeling, outside, on the vast Gobi Desert, no clue can escape my eyes, but here...... Here I always feel like we are trapped in this dead city, as if we have been buried in an urn, and maybe someone is watching us, and we don't know it. ”

"You feel that way, too?" Tang Feng exclaimed.

Han Jiang didn't say anything, the three of them fell into silence, and after a long time, Tang Feng made up his mind, "Then let's go out first, but where to go?" The south gate was sealed, could it still fly past the low wall on the east side? ”

"No, we can go through the mezzanine on the west side, go to the west side and see, if there is a door there, let's go out from there, if there is no door, we will walk along the city wall from the mezzanine, and go out from where there is a gap." Han Jiang expressed his opinion.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan nodded in agreement, so Han Jiang launched the donkey and got into the mezzanine on the west side. The passage on the west side of the south gate is close to the city wall, so narrow that only one car can pass, but if there is any obstacle in front of it, it has to retreat.

Han Jiang was cautious, and the speed of the car was not fast, he looked back from time to time, and Liang Yuan, who was sitting in the back seat, was looked at by Han Jiang, and said angrily: "Team Han, why do you keep looking back at me?" ”

"Who said I was looking at you!"

"And what are you looking at?"

Han Jiang looked back at the back of the car before saying, "I always feel that someone is following us behind the car!" ”

"Ah-" Liang Yuan was taken aback by Han Jiang's words, "You don't bring such a scary." ”

"I'm not scaring you, I'm relying on my more than ten years of anti-tracking experience......"

Before Han Jiang's words fell, suddenly, Tang Feng shouted, "Be careful! Han Jiang only felt that it was dark in front of him, and an unknown black object appeared in front of the car, which smashed heavily on the front windshield of the donkey.

Liang Yuan screamed, Han Jiang hurriedly slammed on the brakes, Tang Feng was shocked, he found that the black object was smashing on the windshield in front of the co-pilot, what was that? Tang Feng nervously approached the windshield that had been smashed out of the long crack, "Ahh

"That's it! Don't call for it, call for the other corpses! Han Jiang pretended to be calm.

As soon as I heard it, "Call it again, call the other dried corpses!" Liang Yuan immediately stopped screaming, she didn't dare to turn her head nervously, and she didn't dare to look forward, Han Jiang looked back at the back, there was nothing behind the car, Han Jiang reversed the car backwards, and then accelerated violently, and the dry corpse lying on the windshield fell to the ground.

"Where did this corpse come from? It can't really fall from the sky! Han Jiang shouted.

Tang Feng poked his head out of the car window and looked at the city wall above his head, "It can only fall from the city wall!" ”

"What's the point? It was so good to smash on our car. ”

"yes, the donkey has been smashed now."

"Alright, don't feel sorry for your donkey." As he spoke, Han Jiang was about to relaunch the donkey and rush over, Tang Feng hurriedly shouted, "You want to press over this dry corpse?" ”

"Any questions?"

"That's not good!" Tang Feng couldn't think of any reason to stop Han Jiang.

"Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, now it's only like this!" Han Jiang said, launched the donkey, and pressed over the dried corpse in front of him, Liang Yuan was upside down, and shouted: "I heard that disrespect for the dead corpse is to be punished!" ”

As soon as Liang Yuan's words fell, their retribution came, and another unknown object fell from the sky, Han Jiang's eyes were fast, and he accelerated suddenly, and the unknown object fell behind the donkey, "Damn, the corpse is rioting!" Han Jiang scolded.

Han Jiang just finished scolding, another one, Han Jiang did not slow down, the dried corpse did not hit the donkey, Liang Yuan kept screaming, Tang Feng was at a loss, only Han Jiang was still sober, along the way, there were constantly dry corpses falling from the sky, but they did not hit the donkey again.

When Han Jiang finally drove the car out of the middle road and came to the end of West Street, Han Jiang braked the car suddenly, then jumped out of the car, pulled out the dagger, and rushed straight up to the city wall from a collapsed place, Tang Feng and Liang Yuan reacted and also jumped out of the car, they saw Han Jiang holding a dagger in his hand, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he stood on the city wall in a daze for a while before walking down the city wall stupidly.

"What, do you suspect that there is someone on the wall?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang, who had returned home.

"And what do you think will happen?"

Tang Feng crossed his waist, looked at the city wall not far away, and shook his head, "I don't know, what did you find on the city wall?" ”

"Damn, it's all dried corpses! It's unlucky! Han Jiang cursed.

"Anyone?"

"I didn't see it!" Han Jiang shook his head.

"Outside the city?" Tang Feng asked.

"Desolate, with no one in sight, not a single car in sight, we have come to a corner forgotten by the world." Han Jiang sighed.

"Nope! We have not been forgotten, at least not by these dry corpses, hehe. Tang Feng laughed at himself.

"Come on, get out of here! But......" Han Jiang looked at the city wall in front of him and was stunned again, "But there doesn't seem to be a city gate here." ”

"And the walls are taller and thicker than the east and south, and the further north they go." Tang Feng pointed to the city wall and said.

Han Jiang also saw the clue, "That's true, but it's easy to explain, this city was built to defend against enemies from the northwest, so the northwest is built extremely tall." ”

"Don't jump to conclusions, let's see."

Tang Feng and Han Jiang searched at the end of West Street, and sure enough, they didn't find the city gate, "It seems that there are no city gates on the east and west sides of Qianhu Town, no wonder we didn't see the city gate when we came in from East Street." ”

"Okay, since we can't get out here, let's go back to East Street!"

"Fly out from there?" Tang Feng recalled the situation when he flew in in the early morning, and he still had palpitations.

"So what?"

Tang Feng had no sufficient reason to refute Han Jiang, so he had to agree with Han Jiang, and the three of them returned to the car, and Han Jiang drove towards East Street, but when the donkey drove to the square in the center of the town, Han Jiang suddenly turned on the steering wheel and turned to North Street.

"Huh! Aren't you going to fly out of the low wall on the east side? Tang Feng asked.

"I've changed my mind, since we've gone to the east, south, and west, why don't we go to the north and have a look, maybe the north gate can go out."

"You're getting backwards now!"

"It's called improvisation!"

While the two were talking, the donkey had already driven to the end of North Street, Han Jiang stopped the car, and a rammed earth platform appeared in front of them, and on top of the high platform was a large official-style building.

"No, North Street should be the longest, why did it come to an end in such a short time?" Han Jiang said in confusion.

"Because of the building in front of us!" Tang Feng explained.

"What kind of building is this?" Han Jiang asked.

"This is a typical Han official-style building, I think this is the yamen of the Yuan Dynasty who managed Qianhu Town, and even more than 100 miles in the vicinity, to be precise, this is not an ordinary yamen, it should be the headquarters of this army."

"It looks pretty impressive! And it's still very well preserved. Liang Yuan exclaimed.

"yes, this should be the biggest building in the city!" Tang Feng stared at the building in front of him and said.

"It's useless to talk about this, there is no fork in the road near here, and the North Street has been cut off by this yamen, so there is no North Gate in Qianhu Town?" Han Jiang asked.

Tang Feng jumped out of the car, looked around, and nodded, "I'm afraid that's true, only one city gate has been opened on the south side of the entire fortress, and there is no city gate on the other three sides." ”

Han Jiang also looked around for a long time, and suddenly, he slapped the front cover of the donkey and shouted, "It's not good, it's not good!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"There are no gates on the east, west and north sides of this city, but there is one gate on the south side, and now the south gate has been sealed by molten iron, this is a real dead city! We're trapped in this dead city right now, not good, not good. Han Jiang said seriously.

"Don't talk nonsense, the wall of the East Gate is low and collapsed, we can get out of there at any time." Tang Feng thought for a while, and then said: "However, the Mongolian army stationed here back then is probably like you said, surrounded by the party members of Hanhai Mi City, they became turtles in the urn, and finally slaughtered completely. ”

At this time, Han Jiang walked to a gate on the east side of North Avenue and was about to enter, Tang Feng grabbed him, "Why aren't you in a hurry to go out at this time?" ”

"Since you're here, you might as well go in and have a look, I want to see if there's anything scary here, we've seen so many dried corpses!" Han Jiang was energetic at this time.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan followed into this gate, the front yard was unremarkable, bypassing the front yard, behind it was a large flat open space, there were piles of things like a hill standing in the clearing, Tang Feng approached one of them, brushed off the loess covered above, picked up some granular substances below with his hands, looked at it for a while, and exclaimed: "It's millet." ”

"Millet? Millet in the Yuan Dynasty? Han Jiang and Liang Yuan were also surprised.

Tang Feng checked a few other piles, all of which were dried up grain, "This seems to be the granary of the city, and on the day the city was broken, there was still so much grain in the city, which shows that Qianhu Town is an important military fortress of the Mongolian army." ”

"It also shows that the final slaughter of Qianhu Town was a surprise attack by the party people, and it could never be a protracted battle after the siege." Han Jiang inferred.

"Yes, it must be the case, so there is still so much grain left in the granary, and it is impossible for the party members of Hanhai Micheng to besiege Qianhu Town for a long time, because as soon as the time drags on, the Mongolian reinforcements will arrive, and the party members of Hanhai Micheng can only raid Qianhu Town, surprise and attack it unprepared, so that the well-equipped Mongolian army with sufficient grain and grass will be wiped out." Tang Feng said affirmatively.

After the three of them checked the granary, they walked into the official office on the west side of North Street, which was very similar to the granary building, but the warehouse here was stored with all kinds of weapons, although these weapons had gone through more than 700 years, but when the Tang wind blew away the floating soil on their bodies, they still shone with a dazzling cold light.

"This seems to be the arsenal of Senhe Town." Tang Feng reasoned.

"Well, look, there are so many bundles of arrows here." Han Jiang pointed to a room full of arrows and said.

"This further proves our previous inference that when Qianhu Town was finally slaughtered, the Mongol army had no time to react, and they were all killed without organizing effective resistance, so so so many weapons had not had time to be used."

"It's a good knife." Han Jiang picked out one of the Mongolian waist knives that were spread all over the ground and threw it to Tang Feng, "You can use this for self-defense!" ”

"Will this work? It's been hundreds of years. Tang Feng was a little skeptical.

"Don't worry, it's enough for you."

The three of them returned to the north street, and Tang Feng suddenly said: "Have you noticed, on the street, as well as the granaries and arsenals we checked just now, no dried corpses were found, and most of the dried corpses were concentrated near the city wall, as well as in the alley houses in the south city. ”

"This shows that those places are the places where there was a fierce battle back then!" Liang Yuan said.

"Looks like we won't be bumping into those damn corpses here for a while." Han Jiang exhaled softly.

"Don't be too happy, the fortress carefully built by the Mongol army, is it only the hundreds of dried corpses we saw inside?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang rhetorically.

"You mean we're going to find a lot of dried corpses?"

"According to my inference, there should be at least a few thousand soldiers stationed in Qianhe Town, otherwise there would not be such a strong fortress and so many food and weapons stored!"

"Mom! Don't scare me, according to your calculations, there are still thousands of dried corpses waiting for us in this city? ”

"I don't know! But it's better to be careful. ”

As Tang Feng spoke, he had already walked in front of the gate of the tall official-style building, half of the door fell to the ground, and the door on the other side was still tightly closed, Tang Feng stretched out his hand and pushed it gently, "Squeak-" sound, and half of the door opened.

5

When Tang Feng walked into this huge government building, a strange feeling quickly surrounded him, inside the building is a courtyard, the back of the courtyard is a very wide building, Tang Feng took a rough look, "Single eaves rest on the top of the mountain, five rooms wide, deep...... There are at least three rooms in depth, which is completely the style of palace architecture, and I can't imagine that there is such a high-standard palace building in the desert. ”

"Maybe the commander of the Mongolian army stationed here back then was a relative of the emperor!" Liang Yuan speculated wildly.

Tang Feng pushed open the door of this palace building and walked in, it was empty, and Tang Feng's footsteps echoed in bursts. Tang Feng found that there was a wall at the back of this huge room, and when he got closer, Tang Feng figured out that this was a fake wall, bypassing the fake wall, Tang Feng thought that there was a door behind him, and when he pushed the door, it should be a new courtyard, but everything was beyond his expectations, there was only a lonely small door behind the fake wall, which could not be compared with the grand palace gate in Tang Feng's image, and what surprised Tang Feng even more was that when he pushed open this small door, there was still a room behind it, and it was not a new courtyard at all.

The three of them walked into this room, Tang Feng estimated that this room should be seventy or eighty square meters, square, the room was empty, the east and west sides were just dusty walls, in addition to this small door in the south, there was only a small door in the north, could it be that this was an I-shaped hall? Tang Feng thought wildly and walked to the small door in the north, pushed it, the small door opened, and Tang Feng walked into another room, this room is almost exactly the same as the room in front, it is also square, seventy or eighty square meters, which negates the inference that this is an I-shaped hall between Tang Feng.

Tang Feng became more and more puzzled, behind the main hall, how could there be two identical rooms in a row, and the room was empty, similarly, this room had no door, there was a small door in the north, Tang Feng pushed open the small door again, and stepped into a new room, this room is much smaller than the previous two, it looks like only thirty or forty square meters, and the shape has also undergone some changes, the whole room is rectangular, and the bigger difference appears on the wall, there is no door in the north and west of this room, except for the door that Tang Feng came in in the south, Another door appeared on the east wall.

Tang Feng hesitated a little, but still pushed open the small door on the east side, what appeared in front of him was a rectangular room exactly the same as the front, and there was a door on the east side, Tang Feng was a little annoyed, he quickly pushed open the door on the east side, and it was an exactly the same room, several in a row, all of them were exactly the same room! Han Jiang felt that something was wrong, and when he wanted to hold Tang Feng, it was too late, and none of the three of them could remember how many such rooms they had walked through.

"I'm feeling bad, hurry back, or we'll be trapped in this maze again." Han Jiang urged.

Tang Feng had no choice but to follow Han Jiang to go back, but what frightened them still happened, they were completely lost, Han Jiang bumped into the labyrinthine room for more than half an hour, and he couldn't find the room where he came, everything around them seemed to be exactly the same, and they fell into an endless maze.

6

Tang Feng didn't know how many identical rooms they had walked through, in one of the rooms, the three of them finally stopped, Tang Feng quickly recalled how they walked into this labyrinth, all the rooms, except for a slight difference in size, the style was almost identical, and the rooms were empty, "What are these rooms for?" Tang Feng finally couldn't help but shout.

"To confuse people?!" Liang Yuan shouted.

"In addition to confusing people, it must also have its practical function, otherwise the ancients would not have eaten enough to build so many identical rooms! Just like the intricate lanes of the southern city, in addition to confusing the enemy, it is also inhabited. Tang Feng said.

"Then this place is also used for people!" Han Jiang said suddenly.

"Oh! Who lives here? Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang curiously.

"You are stupid, Nancheng is full of ordinary people, so where do the soldiers in this military fortress live?"

"You mean this is actually a huge barracks!" Tang Feng understood what Han Jiang meant.

"Didn't you infer that there were thousands of soldiers in the city? If this is the case, the number of troops in the city far outnumber the civilians, and they should have a larger space to live in. Han Jiang's mind remained clear.

Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, so the northern city is much larger than the southern city, in addition to the official office, granary, arsenal, and huge barracks. ”

"And we can see that they built the barracks directly behind the government offices, one next to the other, so close together, I don't think this was the case when the fortress was designed in the first place." Han Jiang said.

"I noticed it too."

"This shows that many barracks were added later, which is what it is today." Han Jiang inferred.

"It seems that decades after the fall of the Western Xia, the threat from Hanhai Mi City continued unabated against the Mongols, so much so that the Mongol army stationed here continued to grow." Tang Feng was shocked by this conclusion deduced by Han Jiang, "Can ...... But this is not in line with common sense, after the fall of Western Xia, even if the party members of Hanhai Micheng were not eliminated and continued to fight with the Mongols, but they were blocked by the Mongols, and their strength should be weaker and weaker. ”

"That's why there was the later battle of the slaughter of Qianhu Town!" Han Jiang said slowly.

"Okay, you two don't study it yet, let's see how to get out!" Liang Yuan said.

Oh, yes! Now the first task is to find a way out, Tang Feng thought of this and regained his spirits, "Since it was the barracks of the year, then there must be a way out, or even more than one." ”

Han Jiang nodded, so the three of them continued to look for a way out one by one, but the more they turned, the more confused they became, and another hour and a half passed, and they still couldn't find a way out.

7

Tang Feng and the three of them had been bumping into each other in the labyrinthine barracks for more than an hour, Liang Yuan really couldn't walk anymore and collapsed on the ground, Tang Feng was also exhausted, slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, Han Jiang looked around at this room, and suddenly, Han Jiang shouted, "I'm sure, we've been to this room before." ”

"How so?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang rhetorically.

Han Jiang pointed to a mark on the wall, it was a mark that seemed to have been scratched by some sharp weapon, "This is the mark I made with a dagger!" ”

"It's over, we're completely lost, we can't get out......" Liang Yuan said and cried.

"I now understand why Misha said in the letter that it was a terrible town, and that he only walked out of Senhe Town on the third day!" Tang Feng began to recall Misha's account in the letter.

"I also understand that Misha must be trapped here, just like us, for a day or two nights." Han Jiang accentuated his tone.

"But...... But Misha eventually walked out......" Tang Feng stood up, "so I'm sure we can get out too!" ”

"Are we still running around like we just did?"

As soon as Han Jiang's words fell, a dull voice suddenly came from not far away, "Who?!" Tang Feng shouted.

Han Jiang and Liang Yuan also heard it, and the two gathered around, and the three of them looked at each other, staring straight in the direction where the voice came from. "It sounded like a door slamming shut." Tang Feng guessed that at this time, in this labyrinth of no one, every hair on his body stood up, and every pore opened up.

Han Jiang held the dagger in his hand and pointed to the door where they came just now, the three of them added ten thousand points of caution, tiptoed open the door, and then returned to the room they had passed through before, Han Jiang keenly recalled the sound just now, and then pointed to a small door on the east side of the room, pushed open the small door, and it was an identical room again, and then, it was still one!

When the three of them came to the door of the fourth room, Han Jiang made a gesture to Tang Feng, and Tang Feng understood that there must be something wrong behind this door! Tang Feng kicked open the wooden door violently, Han Jiang grabbed the dagger tightly, and rushed into the house in a flash, there was no one in the room, and it was almost exactly the same as all the rooms they had passed through before, except that this square room was bigger and brighter!

Tang Feng and Han Jiang immediately realized something, this room was brighter than all the rooms they passed, and the two of them looked up at the north side of the house in unison, it turned out that there was a hole in the roof on the north side of this room, and the sunlight was shining directly from here.

Tang Feng's gaze slowly moved from the entrance of the cave to the north wall, and a row of clear grooves on the north wall appeared in front of Tang Feng and Han Jiang, and both of them saw new hope.

Han Jiang stepped on the groove and climbed to the entrance of the cave, he observed it and said, "It seems that this cave entrance was there when the city was first built." ”

When the three of them climbed onto the roof and stood on the roof and looked into the distance, they all understood the meaning of this hole, because they could see clearly not only the situation of the barracks behind the official office, but also the situation of the entire Qianhu Town on the roof! And in the platform at the foot of the mountain not far behind them, there is a lama pagoda standing majestically, although the pagoda is very dilapidated, but the gilded pagoda is still in the noon sun, exuding an alluring brilliance.
