Chapter 280 (2/2)
Tuobazhi stroked the Golden Crescent Moon and nodded his head: ”it is said that Hobei people are favored by the gods, and they have more advanced production tools than other countries. The women of Hobe people have opened their eyes and have the ability to predict things. Is Murong the descendant of Hobei? It's incredible! It's a miracle! ”
Murong Zhining shook her head: ”I'm not a priori anyway. Maybe it's a coincidence. However, Hobe people are said to be able to communicate with gods. It is also mentioned in the history of the wild that there are huge spherical objects with flames, which frequently travel between Hobe city and the sky, bringing them fairyland items. But those are just legends. To uncover this secret, we must make the ancient city of Hobe come to light again! ”
Chiyun Yuexuan's full of doubts: ”the ancient city site is in the middle of the lake, and the roof only shows a corner. It's not easy to excavate.”
Murong Zhi nodded: ”this is the wealth left by the ancients. It is not necessarily a treasure of gold and silver, but also a product of great wisdom. Once the news spread, greedy people would rush in and grab property. In this way, it will bring destruction to the ancient city of Hobe. The four of us must keep this secret strictly. Without a precise excavation plan, we must not move the bricks and tiles here lightly. ”
Tuoba nodded and chuckled: ”if I don't have the technical means of excavation, I think I'd rather let it sleep in the sea of sand and wait for the capable descendants to explore.”
Chiyun Yuexuan said anxiously: ”there are businessmen coming and going every day in the desert. The secret will be spread one day. If the ancient city sinks under the water, it is relatively safe. Once the lake recedes, it may be discovered at any time. ”
Murong Zhining holds chiyun Yuexuan's hand: ”general, don't worry too much. Once Yongning city is opened, few businessmen will cross the desert. And this place is very desolate. Even if some merchants pass by, they will not easily get involved in the lake when they see no water in the distance. So, Ning'er thinks this place is very safe. The general just needs to send people to patrol. If we want the ancient city to see the sky again, we have to spend a lot of money, material and human resources. No one can do it except the general. ”
Tuoba Zhi and Meng Xia also nodded in agreement. Chiyun Yuexuan covered the spire exposed in the sand with his hands. The four men held hands and turned back according to the original road.
Chiyun Yuexuan clenched Murong Zhining's hand and said excitedly: ”Ning'er, brother Tuoba and Miss Meng, I feel that we are destined for this ancient city. Let's go back and make a plan, then we can explore. Since all the treasures of Beiyan can be collected into our pockets, we need to see the site of Hobe! ”
Tuoba smiled elegantly and said, ”I have no desire for wealth. I just want to satisfy my curiosity.”
Meng Xia said: ”I just ran into it. I'm willing to explore with you. It's much more interesting than opening a treasure.”
Chiyun Yuexuan said, ”I also know that Ning'er is curious. It's for her sake that general Ben wants the city of Hobe to see the light again! ”
Murong Zhining pouted: ”what is the general's urgent explanation? No one questioned the general's intentions. To explore the ancient city, there is also an important problem to be solved, that is, we must master the law of lake water fluctuation. ” Chiyun Yuexuan shook his head: ”the guide said that there is no rule to follow when the water disappears and appears.”
Tuoba ran up to him excitedly: ”princess, brother Shen took me to play sand skating twice. It's so exciting!”
Meng Xia reached out to hold Tuoba Blue's cheek and joked: ”Lan'er, do you know that little white face is what my sister first looked at? You are not allowed to be close to him. ”
Tuoba Lan said with his tongue: ”I'm going to rob sister Meng. She doesn't like it. Lan'er hasn't robbed yet! Princess, you go to the center of the lake and don't call me! ”
Murong Zhining chuckled: ”I thought there were shells in the center of the lake, so I went there. As a result, I went for nothing. Fortunately, you didn't go. You didn't find anything except the sand of a shoe. ”
Wu Siyuan stepped forward and arched his hand and said: ”general chiyun, the canopy is set up. Please take the princess to have a rest. I'll call general Shi. They are stepping up the construction of tents.”
Chiyun Yuexuan put his hands decisively: ”tell them not to set up tents, all of them will be built into awnings, saving time and ventilation. Don't spend the night here, there's no need to be so troublesome. Brother Tuoba, sister Lan'er and Miss Meng, please have a rest in the shed. ”
Five people sit on the carpet of the awning, tasting snacks and looking at the scenery around with interest.
Chiyun Yuexuan pointed to the dried beef on the low table: ”brother Tuoba, Lan'er and Miss Meng, you all have a taste of the special products in southern Xinjiang. JIS Khan has rich resources of cattle and sheep. They make the beef they can't eat into jerky. It tastes good. ”
Jin Xu Heng took a roast chicken on a plate and walked into the shed: ”you can taste this first. The chicken is fast. The whole sheep is still roasting on the charcoal fire. It will take at least half an hour to eat. What about? Is the beef jerky I made by myself delicious? ”
Tuoba nodded: ”it turns out that brother Jin made the beef jerky. How can I say it's so fragrant? You eat. I'll go out and look for mulberry trees and locks. ”Tuo Bazhi shook his head helplessly: ”my sister is not very long. It can be seen that this character is born. The princess is only one year older than Lan'er, but her character is much calmer. Alas! ”
Chiyun Yuexuan fondly caresses Murong Zhining's long hair behind her head: ”our family Ning'er is also a little boy! General Ben would love to spoil her like this for the rest of his life. If you don't grow up, it means that someone is doting on you! ”
The guide hurriedly ran to the front of the awning: ”it's not good to report to general chiyun. A group of wolves were staring at us in the low thorn awning in the distance. There are many of us, but wolves dare not come forward easily. The little one is afraid that wolves will attack animals, which scares the women! ”
Chiyun Yuexuan walked out of the shed and shouted, ”Xu Heng, the smell of your roast lamb has attracted wolves. General, have you got any bows and arrows? ”
