Xiao Hongtao and others each held a torch, this torch is special, wrapped in three layers of coarse cloth strips on the wooden stick, and soaked in the fire oil tank for three days and three nights, this kind of torch is waterproof, wind-resistant, and the fire is bright, very suitable for use in the tunnel.

However, after walking in the tunnel for about a stick of incense, Xiao Hongtao found that the place about ten meters in front of him was surprisingly dark, this darkness was not the darkness of the night, but a kind of darkness that could absorb all the light, as if any light source had no effect on it. At this time, because the torch burned for too long, the flame of the torch gradually decreased, the flame gradually weakened, and the tunnel that was originally illuminated by the firelight also dimmed suddenly.

For the sake of safety, Xiao Hongtao ordered everyone to stop, it is extremely dangerous for so many people to walk in this kind of closed space together, once they encounter any mechanism, or encounter a strong enemy, there is no room to escape.

Xiao Hongtao asked the people around him if they could see the situation ahead, and everyone said that they couldn't see clearly, and it was pitch black ahead.

Xiao Hongtao used his limited knowledge of physics to think, thinking about it and feeling impossible, black holes can only exist in the universe, how can they appear in the tunnels of this small city in Xinjiang, this is illogical, in order to find out what is in front of him, he decided to go forward and take a look for himself.

Xiao Hongtao asked the others to wait in place, and he went to check on himself, and he told everyone that if he had an accident, or he didn't come back for a long time, let them go back on their own, and they didn't have to come to save themselves. The reason why Xiao Hongtao said this has his own plans: it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, it will always come, even if it encounters an accident, it doesn't matter, if you die, you will die, if you can return to the 21st century through death, it is also good, although it is a high authority here, but life is not easy.

After explaining, the torch was less than half of the light at the beginning, Xiao Hongtao took a torch from another soldier and slowly walked towards the darkness ahead.

The torch slowly approached, Xiao Hongtao found that there was a trace of reflection in the darkness in front of him, and Xiao Hongtao was sure in his heart that this should be a real thing, not a black hole. In order to see the whole picture clearly, Xiao Hongtao held the torch high above his head, and he found that the area of reflection gradually increased, and there were two particularly bright reflective points on the top of the black piece.

Damn, what is this, is it a pearl hanging on the blackboard? The reason why I think this is because of the three red jadeites I just obtained, so that the priceless gems can be placed on the river beach at will, and it is not surprising that there are pearls in the tunnel.

However, now that he knew that there was a real thing in front of him, Xiao Hongtao was no longer so scared in his heart, he sped up his speed and soon walked in front of the black object.

Xiao Hongtao opened his hands and waved his torch, and only then did he see the whole picture of the black object - it was a huge chimpanzee fur, a complete piece. The chimpanzee's fur completely covers the entire tunnel, and it can be seen that this orangutan must have been unusually tall when he was alive, at least the same as the one Xiao Hongtao saw on the cliff. And the two particularly bright reflective points that Xiao Hongtao saw just now were the chimpanzee's eyes that had long been dried.

Seeing that there was no danger here, Xiao Hongtao raised his torch and motioned for the others to come over. When everyone arrived, they were amazed at the size of the orangutans.

Xiao Hongtao instructed everyone to take a closer look to see if there were any clues that could be used to attack the city, and he himself turned over the orangutan fur and began to examine it carefully.

Xiao Hongtao found that the tunnels here were actually nailed up and sealed with wooden boards, and this chimpanzee's fur was nailed to the wooden planks that sealed the tunnels. Xiao Hongtao ordered everyone to remove the chimpanzee's fur, and saw the wooden planks lying horizontally, the planks were very long, and the two ends were inserted into the tunnel wall, some of the planks had begun to rot, and through the rotten places, the tunnel could be seen continuing to stretch forward.

"General, look at the top of your head!" At this time, a soldier whispered to remind Xiao Hongtao to look overhead.

Following the direction of the soldier's finger, Xiao Hongtao saw a blue-brown stone slab, and the top of the stone slab was densely engraved with words that Xiao Hongtao did not recognize.

Unclear, Xiao Hongtao asked, "Does anyone know what is written on this?"

The soldier who found the slate took a torch and shone it on the slate and replied, "General Hui, I can't read, but I think it should be Khitan, and when I fought with them, they wrote something like this on their flag." ”

Hearing the soldier's words, the others also looked at the words on the stone slab, and they all said that this must be Khitan.

Khitan: Then this tunnel should have been built by the Khitans.

Xiao Hongtao asked the soldier next to him, "How far have we gone?"

The soldier thought for a moment and replied, "General Hui, I can't say exactly how far I will go, but if the direction of this tunnel has not changed, we are estimated to be almost in Yizhou City now." ”

At this moment, four gongs sounded above everyone's heads, duang, duang, duang, and duang, and everyone clearly heard someone shouting in Chinese above their heads: "It's the fourth watch, be careful!"

Xiao Hongtao was overjoyed: It seems that he has really arrived in Yizhou City. Then he instructed: Everyone look for green bricks nearby.

Not long after, a soldier whispered, "General, I found it!"

Just as the soldier shouted, Xiao Hongtao also saw by the light of the soldier's torch that there were blue bricks connected together on the top of the wooden slats arranged in a bucket arch shape.

"Okay, that's what we're looking for, let's go back. Then, Xiao Hongtao led the five people back the same way. When I came, I felt that the road was very far away, and when I went back, the road conditions were already familiar, and the speed of everyone was also very fast, and they soon returned to the entrance where the three red jade jade stones were found.

After going up from the entrance of the cave, Xiao Hongtao ordered to find that Wei Jiang and the others had already extinguished the torches, formed a circle, and guarded the entrance of the cave.

Xiao Hongtao told Wei Jiang about the situation of the tunnel, and then instructed Wei Jiang to bring people to restore the entrance to the cave as it was, mark it, and then led everyone back to the camp by the same route.

After returning to the camp, Xiao Hongtao whispered a few words in Wei Jiang's ear, and then fell asleep on the couch, and when he woke up again, it was already the next day, and he was woken up by the sound of drums assembled in the barracks.

When Xiao Hongtao woke up, Xiaoqing and Xiaocui had already stood in front of the bed for a long time, and when they saw Xiao Hongtao waking up, Xiaocui stepped forward and said, "Master Xiao, General Wei is already waiting outside the door, and he asked me to tell you that everything is ready." ”

Xiao Hongtao nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

After a while, Xiao Cui led Wei Jiang to Xiao Hongtao's bed, and after seeing the ceremony, Wei Jiang reported: "Father-in-law, everything has been prepared and secretly transported to the tunnel before dawn." ”

Xiao Hongtao nodded and said, "The amount is so large, it's not easy to find, it's hard for you." ”

Wei Jiang shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, I originally thought things were difficult, but then I met Song Langzhong, and he had a lot of these things, all of which were taken from him. ”

Song Langzhong? Xiao Hongtao muttered in his heart, which Song Langzhong, isn't that thin old man with withered yellow fingers? How can he have so many such things there? What does he want so many of these things for, this person is too weird.

Wei Jiang saw that Xiao Hongtao was no longer talking, so he asked again: "Father-in-law, our department has been assembled, when will we leave?"

Xiao Hongtao didn't answer immediately, motioned for Xiaoqing and Xiaocui to retreat, and then asked, "Has Chai Rong already set off?"

"Chai Rong's subordinates have already set off, and before he left, he asked someone to inform me, asking me to urge my father-in-law to leave as soon as possible. Xiao Hongtao said 1510.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided", Xiao Hongtao raised his head and said to Wei Jiang: "Gather the team and set off." However, it should be noted that when passing through Chai Rong's team, you need to speed up, and the rest of the time you must march slowly. ”

Wei Jiang did not show any confusion, and directly took the order to go out to make arrangements.

Under the service of the two maidservants, Xiao Hongtao also walked out of the account after a simple wash.

After coming out of the tent, Xiao Hongtao found that there was a chariot about three meters high parked at the door, the main body of the chariot was a mahogany wooden structure, in addition, the surface of the chariot was also covered with a layer of copper skin, and the copper skin was also hollowed out and carved with images, Xiao Hongtao took a look, depicting the war scene, in the picture, the soldiers on both sides were fighting fiercely, and one of them had a tall general, holding a spear and looking brave. Probably because of the long time, the copper skin has turned dark green in some places. Above the chariot was a red canopy, and below it stood four soldiers with long shields and short swords, surrounded by a seat with a bearskin draped over it. The chariot was drawn by eight white horses and controlled by two riders.

Seeing the magnificence of this chariot, Xiao Hongtao's heart became excited-this is too luxurious, Xiao Hongtao remembered that the chariot in history was extremely strict in terms of rank, and he vaguely remembered that the history books seemed to say that only the emperor was qualified to ride in eight carriages, and now he was treated the same as the emperor in the chariot and horse. Later generations of Porsche, Maserati and other famous cars are simply weak compared with their own chariots now.

When he got into the car, Xiao Hongtao's vision suddenly widened, and he felt that everything was under his feet when he stood in the car. Originally, Xiao Hongtao thought that this car was luxurious, but it must have been a little bumpy to run, but then his feelings made him realize that his worries were unnecessary. Under the control of the driver, the eight horses moved in unison, and the wheels of the chariot were extremely large, and several layers of cowhide were wrapped on them, so that the chariot ran as if it were walking on the ground, and there was no bump in the slightest.

The chariot took Xiao Hongtao to a flat area, and Xiao Hongtao had already assembled a team of five phalanxes on the flat ground, one phalanx was slightly larger, about 2,000 people, and the rest of the phalanxes were about the same size, about 1,000 people. The phalanx of 2,000 people was a cavalry phalanx, and the general of the unified army in front of the phalanx was Wei Jiang. The other phalanxes were all infantry phalanxes, and there was also a general on horseback in front of each phalanx, but Xiao Hongtao didn't know him.

As soon as Xiao Hongtao's chariot stopped, those generals gathered in front of the station car and waited for Xiao Hongtao's order.

Xiao Hongtao looked around at the strong soldiers around him, and the sense of arrogance in his heart rose rapidly: Grandma's, the biggest official she has ever been since she was a child is the leader of the labor group, and now she is commanding so many people to fight.

Xiao Hongtao held back a smile, pretended to be serious and ordered: "The cavalry is in front, the infantry is in the back, the target, Yizhou City, set off." ”

"The last general commands!" the generals commanded to surrender their orders and retreat to the ranks.

Under the leadership of the Wei Jiang cavalry, Xiao Hongtao's team drove towards Yizhou City.
