“…… Be careful all the way! ”

Li Xiuman nodded, his understanding was that what Xu Huabiao wanted to do was something he didn't want his own to know......

Well, it's true that Xu Huabiao doesn't want Li Xiuman to know.

With the sword he carried with him, riding the horse that followed him all the way from Jinyang, Xu Huabiao ran out of the camp like this.

In the crescent sky, there was no moon illumination, only a few stars, which made it extremely difficult for Xu Huabiao to hurry.

Although he took a burning log from the fire as a torch when he came out, the distance of the lighting was limited.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

This was Xu Huabiao's first feeling when he came out of Li Xiuman's camp.

The mood is a little weird.

Seriously calculated, except for the day when he ran out of the coalition camp because he felt ashamed and resentful, this seemed to be the first time he had been alone since he came to this world in the real sense.

I don't feel safe! This world where it is possible that a thin and small girl like Kim Tae-yeon can tear a big man like herself!

God knows if you will encounter any strange people or things when you enter Luoyang City for a while?

But......

Seems to be quite interesting!

With such a contradictory mood, more than an hour later, he finally came to the gate of Luoyang City, which had been ruined.

In this era when houses are basically made of wood, fire is really scary!

Thinking like this, Xu Huabiao rode his horse, and ran directly under the city gate when he passed through maybe half a month ago, even the three princes had to get out of the car.

After passing through the dilapidated city gate, Xu Huabiao finally entered the ancient capital of Luoyang.

The scene in front of him made Xu Huabiao stunned.

It wasn't the darkness he imagined.

He actually saw the lights of the city lit up by stars.

Although it is obvious that because of the fire that has just been extinguished that swept the whole city, the city is so broken that almost all the houses have been burned to the ground, but unlike the darkness outside the city, it is obvious that there are still people in this destroyed Luoyang City.

Although it really doesn't seem like there are many people left......

It's a little sad for no reason.

Yes, these people who live in the city, and there are so many more, for the people who had to leave their homes and flee Luoyang because of the riots in which the gods fought for them, does it really matter who is the emperor and who is in power?

As he ran through the streets, he discovered a detail that made him even more poignant than the dim lights.

When the sound of his horse's hooves sounded, the lights on both sides of the road were extinguished as if they had been blown by a gust of wind.

The original low voice of Si Si Suo Suo also disappeared all at once.

These people should have been frightened by the Qiang soldiers who robbed a few days ago.

Alas......

With a long sigh, Xu Huabiao sorted out his mood and refocused his attention on the front.

After entering Luoyang City, not long after riding a horse, another section of high wall appeared on his right-hand side.

The walls of Miyagi.

I ran into Luoyang City tonight, just to be able to enter the palace!

Along the walls of Miyagi, I galloped all the way and ran for a while, and finally came to a gate.

The door was still closed.

Although the wooden gate, which was supposed to be bright red, had been blackened by the smoke, it was still tightly locked.

It is a bleak drama that declares the last dignity of depraved imperial power.

Xu Huabiao jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand, and tried to push the palace door.

The door opened......

With a loud squeaky noise, with just a slight effort, the door was pushed open by him.

A black line on the door of the brain.

Who closed this?

It can't be a "kind-hearted" Xiliang soldier, right?

There's no one in there, right?

Xu Huabiao led the horse and entered the palace from the middle of the huge palace gate that he pushed open.

It's worse than the outside......

Although it was pitch black, in the dim starlight, he still saw the current appearance of this core of the world for the past two hundred years.

Maybe it's because this is where the fire started, or maybe it's because the palace used more wood than the homes of the commoners outside, and after the fire, ......

A flat patch.

A scorched earth in the truest sense of the word.

It's sad!

He also thought that he could see the splendid ancient palace complex......

While shaking his head, Xu Huabiao jumped back on the horse.

A flat area may not be suitable for sightseeing, but it is a good thing for him who comes to find something.

Ride a horse and find a well! I still have a lot to do!

He originally thought that in the era when there was no running water, the well was a faucet-like existence, not to mention that there must be one in every house, at least there should be one in every yard, right? As a palace, it should be normal to have thirty or forty wells in it, right?

But he seemed to be thinking too much.

Maybe it's because there is a river outside Luoyang City, so you can't use those many wells, or maybe it's because the cost of drilling wells in this era is too high, so you don't need to dig so many wells if you don't have to, and after going around the palace, he only saw four wells.

However, the four wells were obviously still in use before Jiang Hudong set fire to them.

I haven't seen the legendary dry well that I've seen in games or books before!

Without the clue of the dry well, it would be impossible for him to find the jade seal in the ruins of the huge palace alone!

After wandering around for a full hour, Xu Huabiao finally gave up.

"It's shallow on paper!" After being tired for a long time and exhausting his physical strength, lying on the square in front of the main palace that should have been the palace, Xu Huabiao sighed with a sigh.

Looking at the starlight in the sky, his mood was really depressed and depressed.

I knew that it would be better to follow Kim Taeyeon and them back to Chenliu, but now I am risking being hunted down!

Is it just a trip for nothing?

Unwilling!

Feeling sorry for himself, lying there thinking about it for a long time, and regaining some physical strength, Xu Huabiao got up again, no, you must look for it again.

Riding a horse, Xu Huabiao came to the back garden that he had checked before.

In his vague memory, as if he had seen it somewhere, the dry well where he found the jade seal should be in the back garden.

Although he didn't see the well during his walk around here just now.

This time he was going to be more detailed.

First is the pond in the garden, and now the time is the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, although the lake water has not yet frozen, it is already cold to the extent that Xu Huabiao is no longer impulsive to go into the water to find it.

After going around the lake again, he didn't find anything suspicious, Xu Huabiao came to the rockery by the lake.

In a certain martial arts novel that he read when he was in middle school, it was said that there might be a cave in the rockery of the palace, and there would be some kind of military book hidden in it......

Ahem, that's more than a thousand years later, huh.

But it's also an alternative pointer.

It's just a small rockery made of a few stones, and it didn't take long for Xu Huabiao to finish it.

After going around and around, Xu Huabiao did not find any "suspicious" items.

It took him about half an hour to search like this.

A little frustrated, he sat on a mound next to the rockery and rested again to regain his strength.

While thinking about where to search next.

According to the clues in his memory, the jade seal should have been hidden by the previous emperor during the civil strife in the palace, or tied to the body of a palace maid, and it should be in the harem or the back garden, which is convenient for him to operate.

If it's not in the garden, it should be in the harem.

Take a break and set off to find it in the harem! Although it is now in ruins......

Just when Xu Huabiao was sitting on the mound of dirt and thinking about something, suddenly, he felt that the mound he was sitting on was sinking down sharply.

His reaction was fairly fast, and his body instinctively jumped before his brain could figure out what was going on.

There was a muffled bang.

A pit caved out at the top of the mound where he had just sit.

"That's right! There are no trees on this mound and no flowers...... It's very strange......" Xu Huabiao, who looked at the pit, patted his head. "Next to it is a stone rockery, and there are a few trees, and there is such a small mound here, how can it be very discordant...... Why didn't I react before! ”

A pit covered by a mound of dirt...... Well, it's a dry well.

As the earth falls,

Even the most unresponsive person will find something mysterious in it.

Not to mention that I originally had the idea of coming here to find a dry well, and it was definitely impossible to miss this kind of thing if I watched the reasoning show of an island elementary school student wearing a red bow tie all the year round in the previous world.

He took from the horse that was eating on the lawn, and took a bundle of rope that he had prepared to go down the well long ago, tied one end to the tree next to the dry well that had just been exposed, and then tied the other end to his waist, and stood beside the well that had been bottomless in the night.

"Thanks to the fact that I always climbed trees when I was a child, if I was really a child who grew up in the city, then I couldn't go down even if I found it!" While lamenting his origin, Xu Huabiao's mood finally became clear.

Think about it! And Shibi! Heirloom jade seal!

How many legends are there about this thing!

Right down here now......

Just when Xu Huabiao was just grasping the rope and planning to go down a little bit along the wellhead, suddenly, a strange colored light emitted from the wellhead of the black hole under the starlight.

It was like a burst ball of light, dazzling.

Xu Huabiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to block his eyes, but after all, he didn't react so quickly, and his eyes were temporarily blinded by the bright light that suddenly appeared in the dark night, and he didn't stand firmly, his body fell forward, and he fell heavily on the edge of the mound. I hit my head on the ground and fainted.
