When I looked at the map earlier, I remembered that it was not marked, and in the middle of nowhere, there was a dilapidated old city.

"Damn, there's a place where this bird doesn't! I can't say I can eat roast whole lamb tonight! The black bull's previous fatigue was swept away, he pushed the door and got out of the car, and greeted those Uyghur men warmly.

The others got out of the car one after another, and I sat still where I was, still glancing at the dilapidated earthen walls around me. It can be vaguely seen that there used to be houses, temples and even sheepfolds here, but all the buildings are either dilapidated and collapsed, or standing precariously in the debris, which really responds to the words of the black bull: How can there be people living in this place where birds don't?

Gao Moli saw the surprise on my face, he pulled out the map behind his seat and glanced at it by the light of the lights of the car behind him.

This is a map map from Aksu to the Taklamakan Desert, drawn in scale.

I pointed to the Yadan landform above and said, "This is the place we just passed, you see, the stone pinnacle that looks like a giant is on it, but I don't know why there is no old city!" ”

Gao Moli glanced at the dilapidated earthen temple wall outside, and said slowly: "When the map was drawn, this site should still be buried under the sand. He pointed to the map and said, "So, there's a raised dune here!" ”

I took a closer look, and the Yadan landform was next to the side of the desert, and sure enough, there was a big sandbag, and the location of this sandbag should be the old city where we are now.

This old city was buried under the sand pile before, and no one would live here for a long time, so it is very likely that these Uyghur men outside are also the people arranged by the sixth master.

I was about to tell Gu Yixin about this speculation, but when I looked up, I saw that the co-pilot was already empty, and she didn't know when she had gotten out of the car.

"Look at this battle, it's getting more and more lively!" I muttered to Gao Moli, and the two got out of the car one after another.

The desolate old city was bustling with people for a while, and the lights of off-road vehicles and a few blazing bonfires lit up the surroundings as if it were day.

Ah Biao was directing the equipment on the truck of the group of strong men in black, and I curiously grabbed Miao Yiding, who was trotting by, and asked curiously: "Steward Miao, why did everyone move all the equipment down, just staying here for one night, loading and unloading back and forth, isn't it asking for trouble?" ”

Steward Miao gasped and explained: "Section Chief Su, the next road, these four wheeled cars can't get in, we have to change to a four-legged camel!" This equipment had to be removed! ”

Before the words fell, Ah Biao shouted at the top of his voice: "Lao Miao! What the fuck are you indicated! Hurry up and count the points! ”

"It's coming! Here it comes! Miao Yiding agreed, and trotted to the wall where the luggage was stacked.

Gao Moli glanced around, took out a wolf-eyed flashlight from the equipment bag in the trunk, and walked towards the abandoned earth temple.

I shouted at him twice, but he turned a deaf ear and didn't answer.

The black bull took two roast leg of mutton and stood beside the bonfire to greet me from afar, and I walked towards the bonfire in front of me, while turning back from time to time to search for Gu Yixin's shadow in the chaotic crowd.

Finally, she saw that she was talking to a mercenary with a small head standing next to another car, and the people around her were noisy, shouting and whistling sounded, and I couldn't hear what they were talking about, only to see the mercenary with a straight head standing up to her and saluting.

Gu Yixin hurriedly pressed down the other party's saluting hand, patted him on the shoulder, turned around, and trotted back to the team.

The black bull came over at some point, shoved the roast leg of lamb into my hand, and complained, "Who are you looking at?" Brother, I finally snatched two roast lamb legs from the hands of that group of Uyghur brothers, and called you to eat together, you are grinding like a big girl getting on a sedan chair, and you turn back three times in one step! ”

I took a bite of the lamb shank, the barbecue was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the local barbecue condiment, not to mention how delicious it was! While chewing greedily, I pointed at the ten mercenaries with a leg of mutton, and said to the black bull, "See? Those people were brought by Zhang Xuefeng! ”

The road was bumpy, these people in mercenary clothes did not show the slightest tiredness, they were like a wind, each took their equipment bags, and consciously stood in two rows, waiting for Zhang Xuefeng's instructions.

Zhang Xuefeng pointed to an earthen embryo room next to the bonfire in front of him, and the board head who had talked to Gu Yixin before stepped forward and trotted towards the earthen embryo room with the other nine people.

They ran past me and the black bull, dusty, their steps aligned, their steps powerful, their limbs extremely coordinated, and each of them had dry and vicissitudes on their cheeks, and they looked like they had been exposed to the wind and the sun.

I suddenly felt that something was wrong, judging by the way these people acted, it was very likely that they were not mercenaries trained by some social institution, but from real barracks! Moreover, the appearance on their faces is also polished by the wind and sand for a long time, so they are not from Beijing, but from Xinjiang! It's even Aksu local!

Hei Niu also sensed the peculiarity of this group of people, and while fanning the sand and dust in front of him, he lowered his voice and said, "Old Su, do you feel that these mercenaries are really fucking disciplined!" Every move and style is full of the style of the regular army! ”

I laughed and replied, "This is most likely the regular army!" ”

The black bull bit the mutton's mouth and let go, and asked, "Why do the regular army wear mercenary clothes?" ”

"Cover up! What are we doing here? Inverted bucket! This is an unsightly affair, and it must not have anything to do with the official face! ”

After that, I looked up at Gu Yixin again, and thought to myself, she told the sixth master that these people were on the same train as us and came from Beijing together, intending to deter the sixth master from the side and warn the sixth master that she could deploy anything under the eyes of the sixth master without knowing it. Gu Yixin's move is understandable, but why did she hide her plan from me?

I connected all the breakpoints and had already guessed the ins and outs of the matter: after I told Gu Yixin about the conspiracy of the sixth master, she disappeared, in fact, she was not just angry with me, but secretly contacted Mr. Gu and asked him to mobilize local manpower for support. After getting off the train, Zhang Xuefeng left on his own and joined the group of people wearing mercenary clothes, and the head of the board was the direct commander of the group.

All this plan, did Gu Yixin hide it from me intentionally or unintentionally? I'll have to find a time to talk to her, or rather, I'll have to test it again.
