The city lord finally took the scolding Kasli away, and agreed with Yan Shaoqing to dig the stone castle trapped in the quicksand tomorrow.

After calming down, Shen Ru looked at Yan Shaoqing with a look of asking for guilt.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll take yours."

Yan Shaoqing looked excited, "Shen Ru, when the time comes, everything you dig will be your own, aren't you excited to think about it?" ”

"Forty thieves?"

Shen Ru asked tentatively: "What kind of bandit gang is this, why don't you talk to me about it?" ”

"A hundred years ago, there was a group of fearsome robbers in this desert. This group of people burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil, and the world did not know their true faces, so they only called this group of people Huangsha thieves. ”

Yan Shaoqing restrained his expression and said slowly.

"I heard that the cities of some small countries have been robbed, and in just a few years, they have accumulated great wealth."

"At that time, no one could catch them, and in the end, God couldn't stand it, and one night, the stone fort where they were located sank, and everyone was swallowed by quicksand. Including the property they have looted in the past few years, all buried under the yellow sand. ”

"So, you're going to rob the tomb?"

Shen Ru listened, and said coolly, "Not afraid of quicksand?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that the lord of this innocent city will lie to you?"

Shen Ru felt that such a good thing was there, there was no reason for the city lord to pull Yan Shaoqing up!

"Oh, some people also say that among the forty thieves, many of them are Han Chinese. Maybe they are afraid that there are some things that only we Han people can get! ”

Yan Shaoqing is not stupid.

Shen Ru thought about it, and she didn't seem to have any reason not to go.

I have space, I found the baby, and I immediately transferred it, but no one can find it?

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Yan Shaoqing called all his guards over again, and the injured continued to recuperate at the inn, while the others went with him.

As for Dunzhu, she felt that there was no need to go, and she was ready to stay at the inn.

The next day, it was slightly bright, and Yan Shaoqing had already taken Shen Ru and the other five people to join the city lord's team.

"How can she go, what can she do?"

Seeing Kasli, Yan Shaoqing asked directly in disgust.

"Kasri is clamoring to go, don't worry about it, my people will watch her."

The city lord smiled and said, "A female doll won't cause much trouble." ”

As she spoke, Shen Ru felt that the city lord seemed to glance at her as well.

Although Yan Shaoqing didn't like it, he also suppressed his emotions, nodded his head, and went to the desert together.

The desert was boundless, rolling yellow sand, Shen Ru followed the large army on horseback and walked in the desert for a morning.

When the sun hung high in the sky, the yellow sand became hotter, and the destination had arrived.

"It's been a long time for our people to figure it out. Dig from here and you should be able to reach the stone fort. ”

"City Lord, since you have already identified the entrance to the cave, why don't you dig it down?"

The bearded city lord's eyes flashed, and he stroked his beard and said, "Virtuous nephew, it's not that we don't dig down, but we're really stumped!" ”

As he spoke, the lord of the city ordered the sand to be cleared from the entrance of the cave.

"There is a mechanism at this entrance, and it is written in your handwriting, but I can't be sure what kind of character it is after looking through the ancient books."

Yan Shaoqing stepped forward to look at it with a puzzled expression, and then said sarcastically: "I'm afraid that the person who left the word is only half of the big character, and there is no complete word." ”

Shen Ru was shocked, and immediately came up, and then verified his idea.

That's half ah, it's simplified.

If you wear books, then others are also possible!

On the slate, it is an adaptation of the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, but the four boxes are empty, which is obviously the password to open the slate.

"Do you want to pick out four words in the following words and embed them?"

Shen Ru asked as if he didn't know, but his heart was already turbulent.

Someone came to this world more than a hundred years before her and became a robber.

Forty thieves, heh, really!

"Can you read it?" Yan Shaoqing couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"A little." Shen Ru said modestly.

"This slate and the buckle below are so tight that I can't pry it anymore, obviously this place is going to fill these four boxes."

The city lord also spoke: "Virtuous nephew, if you don't understand what is written on it, then I really don't know who to look for!" ”

"Shen Ru, are you sure?"

Yan Shaoqing looked at Shen Ru, and Shen Ru seemed to have some signs here.

"What can she know, isn't she one of your bodyguards?"

Kasli said indignantly: "Yan Shaoqing, if you are useless, go back quickly!" ”

"I've tried a few times, this column of twenty-four words, once the embedding is wrong, this side will vibrate, and the remaining three holes will stick out of the stone pillar, directly blocked."

The city lord didn't drink Kasli either, but only looked at Yan Shaoqing and said.

The corners of Shen Ru's mouth twitched, she didn't know what the countryman who came before her was from and could set up such an ingenious mechanism.

"I just knew, I really can't do without me!"

Shen Ru said, without looking at Kasli, quickly pushed the word block, and embed the sesame open door.

Immediately afterward, the ground shook beneath his feet.

"I just said she couldn't do anything, and she was self-righteous and messing around......"

Before Kasri could finish her sarcastic words, the entrance of the cave rumbled open, and the yellow sand next to it quickly flowed into the hole, but everyone also saw a stone staircase down the line.

"Well, I just can't do anything!" Shen Ruliang said coldly, "But God will help me!" ”

"Hahahaha, virtuous nephew, it's still your friend, Kasri, don't let you talk nonsense anymore, offend the distinguished guest, even if you are my daughter, I will not favor you!"

The city lord laughed, with a look of surprise on his face, and reprimanded Kasri as if he were pretending to be displeased.

"Shen Ru, it's really you, I'll bring you this time, I'm right!"

Yan Shaoqing was pleasantly surprised, and saw Shen Ru's expression full of adoration!

"Miss Shen is a blessed star, not only beautiful and kind, but also superb martial arts."

"That's it, young master, taking Miss Shen with you on this trip is the most correct thing you have done."

Yan Shaoqing's accompanying guards suddenly praised Shen Rulai in a fancy way.

Kasili's face turned red, and she looked at Shen Ru, who was being held by everyone, with resentment in her eyes.

The city lord had already beckoned Yan Shaoqing to go down the cave with a smile, and no one cared about Kasli's emotions.

Shen Ru didn't see Kasli's jealous expression, but who was she afraid of!

The group descended the steps one by one, and soon arrived at the interior of the stone city.

In the empty hall, Shen Ru looked up, why is there a stone staircase leading to the top?

Could it be that the forty thieves had a premonition that one day, this stone castle would sink into quicksand?
