Chapter 18: Heading to the Deserted City
There was nothing to say all the way, so Qin Yan followed Wang Ming and the others towards the direction of the deserted city, and in less than half an hour, he had to whip his horses quickly, but Qin Yan's two buttocks hurt. Just now, I picked up the woman in black and ran on the horse, but in fact, I had never learned to ride a horse at all, and it was the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair.
After turning over the last mountain range, an open plain area came into view, and vaguely Qin Yan saw that there seemed to be a city not far away, presumably this was the deserted city mentioned by Wang Ming.
As soon as the several war horses under the crotch entered the plain, the running speed instantly increased a lot, and in the blink of an eye, they took Qin Yan and a few people to the city wall, and Qin Yan on horseback looked at the scene in front of him, and was also a little surprised. In front is a huge city tower about ten meters high, and there is a stone plaque embedded in the top of the city tower, which is impressively engraved with two black lacquer characters, deserted city. Below the castle tower are two red lacquered gates about five or six meters high, and the rows of willow nails on them are particularly majestic. The entire tower, including the walls on both sides, appears to be made of blue bricks. Looking up again, I saw that the city tower was full of red flags, and there was a white background sky character in the middle of each red flag, and I knew that this might be the battle flag of Tianyun Kingdom. On the top of the tower, every other flag stood a soldier wearing black armor and holding a spear.
After several war horses stopped one after another, a swarthy man who returned with Qin Yan rode forward a few more words, shook his rough throat, and shouted to the people on the city wall, "Open the door quickly, General Wang and Li Dutong are back." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man standing behind the battlements of the city wall, leaning over, and then turning around and shouting, "Open the gates, open the gates." ”
With an order, the originally closed city gate slowly opened from the inside, and Wang Ming and the others quickly rode in and passed through the gate.
Qin Yan, who entered the city wall, found that the city tower he saw just now was only a periphery, and then went inside, in the courtyard of the city wall, there were tents on one side, which showed that this was a camp where the soldiers lived. On the other side, there is a weekday training ground, where dense soldiers are shouting slogans and practicing.
did not stay here, Wang Ming and the others took Qin Yan to the inner city wall, and Qin Yan saw that under the city wall, there was a large camp tent, outside the tent, there were soldier handles, and there were rows of soldiers patrolling back and forth. There are also two flags hanging on one side of the tent, one is the same as what Qin Tan saw on the city tower, with a white Tianzi flag on a red background, and the other is a flag with a yellow background and a Li character written in the middle.
When they came to a place a few meters from the tent, they dismounted. After Wang Ming handed over the reins to Qian to greet the former staff, he turned his head and said to the few people who accompanied him, "Okay, there is nothing to do with you, you can go down." After the group answered yes in unison, they rode away again.
The young man named Wang Ming, after looking at Qin Yan, walked up to Qin Yan and said to Qin Yan, "This hero, my sister and I still have important military affairs to report to the main general, I will arrange someone first, lead you down to rest for a while, and we will talk about it later." Hearing the young man in front of him say this politely, Qin Yan also smiled slightly, and said without hurry, "Okay, follow the general's arrangement." ”
After hearing this, Wang Ming turned to a soldier standing there in front of the tent and said, "Someone is coming." Then a soldier ran over briskly and said respectfully, "General, what do you command?" ”
"This is the honored guest invited back by me and Li Dutong, you bring it to my tent, remember, good hospitality, don't slack off. ”
"Yes, General. After the soldier finished speaking, he waved his hand at Qin Yan and made a gesture of invitation. Qin Yan nodded and smiled at Wang Ming and the woman in black who had been standing beside him without speaking, and followed the soldier.
Looking at Qin Xuan, who had left for the time being, the woman in black and Wang Ming glanced at each other in unison, and then walked towards the camp tent in front of them.
The two people who walked to the door did not rush in, but stood outside the door of the camp tent, and the two of them clasped their fists and said to the camp tent, "Report to the main general, the partial general Wang Ming, and most of the generals Li Jiao have something to report."
As soon as the words fell, I heard a deep voice from inside,
"Come in".
"Yes", the two replied in unison, then lifted the curtain of the tent and stepped in one after the other.
