Chapter 156 Arriving at Sand City
Long Lingyun took the silver ticket and handed it to Captain Ji
"Captain Ji, see if you can help this king!"
Although the money he asked for was not satisfactory to him, he saw that they took out all their belongings, so Captain Ji reluctantly said
"Since King Youwang has ordered it, then the lower officials will do it!"
After Captain Ji finished speaking, he asked his two subordinates to ride to the nearest town to buy a carriage, while Long Lingyu sat aside with Lu Ziqing in his arms to rest.
An hour later, the men who bought the carriage came back, although the carriage was not very good, but fortunately it was a carriage, so Long Lingyu did not dislike it, but carried Lu Ziqing into the carriage and let her sleep on him.
Captain Ji was afraid that someone would come to kill Long Lingyun again, so after Long Lingyun and them got into the carriage, he said that he was leaving.
Lu Ziqing woke up at night, so when she saw herself sitting in the carriage, she wondered
"This season, the captain's conscience has been discovered?"
Long Lingyun looked at Lu Ziqing, who was sitting upright, and rolled his eyes
"You think too much, this is the silver ticket I took from you, and the silver ticket that they put together by the dark five, a total of more than 10,000 taels, to buy such a dilapidated carriage."
Hearing Long Lingyu's words, Lu Ziqing jumped up and said
"What? Big brother, you're stupid! You actually bought a broken carriage for 10,000 taels of silver, do you know how much 10,000 pieces of silver is? Oh, no. Speaking of this, Lu Ziqing suddenly felt that something was wrong
"By the way, big brother, did you take the money from me? Do you know me..., what ...... that? Lu Ziqing couldn't speak.
Looking at Lu Ziqing, who couldn't speak pretentiously, Long Ling hooked his lips and smiled, "Qing'er, you are an eight-year-old boy, what are you afraid of?" ”
"That's right!" Lu Ziqing suddenly felt that she was making too much of a fuss, after all, she lived in the 21st century in her previous life.
In order to resolve the embarrassment, Lu Ziqing was a little embarrassed to open the horse curtain and look out, looking at the dark outside, Lu Ziqing asked Long Lingyu
"Big brother, is the captain planning to travel day and night this season?"
"Hmm!" Long Lingyou nodded and said, "He is afraid that someone will come to kill this king again, so he plans to rush to the gate of Shacheng as soon as possible, and when this king has an accident in Shacheng, it will be none of his business!" ”
"Oh!" After Lu Ziqing responded, she said, "Big brother, is this sand city really like the legend, is it a deserted city?" ”
Long Lingyou nodded and said, "Almost, Shacheng belongs to the Shishan District, so there is no water source within a radius of eight hundred miles in Shacheng, and Shacheng relies on the sky for food, except for stones, it is some dry land."
The rainy year is good, and you can still see some green leaves in Shacheng, if it is a dry year, it will be difficult for people to survive in this city, and even plants will be difficult to survive.
However, there is one thing that is very strange, that is, at the end of the sand city, whether it is a rainy year or a dry year, the plants are green all year round. ”
Lu Ziqing: "Big brother, have you ever heard of the underground river?" ”
"Underground River?" ”
Lu Ziqing: "Well, this kind of river is underground, so you can't see it above the ground, big brother, you can check the terrain over there at that time to see if you can find the outlet of the underground river in the downstream of Shacheng, if you can't find it, you can let people divert water from the south to the north." ”
Although Lu Ziqing's words made sense, like what Lu Ziqing said, there was no basis, after all, the downstream of Shacheng was a big river, but the water of that river had its origin, so he didn't care much about it
"We'll talk about it then!"
Knowing that the dragon spirit was perfunctory, Lu Ziqing didn't say anything, and said curiously when he was riding a horse outside
"Eighth Prince, I heard the old man tell this legend when I was young, saying that the water came out of the ground!
And there is also a river in the lower reaches of Shacheng, but the river is thousands of miles away from Shacheng, because there are mountains, and some people have whimsically climbed up to Shacheng, but after climbing to the top of the mountain, what they see is a cliff, and the opposite side of the cliff is not visible.
In addition to the city gate pass, the other three sides of Shacheng are cliffs, and the opposite side of the cliff is also unsightly, so no one has ever come out of Shacheng. ”
Thinking of Lu Ziqing, who only has an outlet and no import from the underground river, he affirmed
"There must be an underground river, and the water is from the river downstream, otherwise the plants on the edge of the cliff can't be green all year round, so Dark Five, your next task is to find the underground river."
Dark Five was puzzled, "Eighth Prince, why are you so sure?" As I said earlier, the river downstream is thousands of miles away from Shacheng. ”
Lu Ziqing smiled and said, "Just because that river is far away, it has become a natural barrier, Dark Five, you believe me, there must be an underground river in Shacheng." ”
Although Long Lingyou didn't believe Lu Ziqing, he was afraid of hurting her heart, so he opened the horse curtain and looked towards the dark five paths
"Dark Five, you just do what Qing'er says, and don't say the rest!"
"It's Your Highness!" After the dark five responded to the dragon spirit, he looked at Lu Ziqing and said, "Eighth prince, where can I find it?" ”
Lu Ziqing: "When the time comes, show me the map of Shacheng and the map of the river downstream, and then I will determine a place for you." ”
Dark Five: "Good! ”
……
After Long Linghui retreated, he was not chasing Long Lingyou, but was preparing to return to the capital to report to Emperor Sheng.
……
Half a month later
Just when the gate of Shacheng was about to be closed, Captain Ji dismounted and said respectfully in front of the carriage
"Lord Wang, this is past the recess in front, that is, the gate of Shacheng is closed, see if you can let the eighth prince and the dark five unification take the lead and leave, after all, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey!"
"Hmm!" After the dragon spirit responded, he looked at Lu Ziqing and said, "Qing'er, this is a farewell to you, so you can leave with the dark five!" ”
"Hey, good!" If it weren't for the protection of the dragon spirit, Lu Ziqing would have wanted to leave, after all, it was very uncomfortable to wear a face towel every day, so she said to the dragon spirit ghost after she was finished
"Big brother, be careful yourself!"
When Captain Ji and the others walked towards the gate of Shacheng, Lu Ziqing looked at the dark five paths
"Dark Five, let's follow secretly, and then find an opportunity to go into the city to meet up with the big brother."
Dark Five: "Good! ”
An hour later, Long Lingyu rode in a carriage to the gate of Shacheng.
Captain Ji rode on horseback and asked his men to report to the officers and soldiers defending the city, and General Wei opened the city gate and came out to greet him.
Among the princes of Youwang, although the fief given is the worst, as the general guarding the gate of Shacheng, it is still under the control of King Youwang on the surface, and the holy decree is only to prevent King Youwang from leaving Shacheng, so he still does the ritual of kneeling
"Phantom King Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
"Excuse me!" Long Lingyun stepped down from the carriage and raised his hand
"Take this king to the palace!"
"This ......!" General Wei hesitated and said, "Back to the prince, Xia Guan only received the holy decree a few days ago, so the palace has not been repaired yet, and His Majesty specially explained that even if Xia Guan is a general under the throne of You, he is also a supervisor." ”
General Wei is talking about the prison army, but in fact, he is watching the dragon spirit.
