Brass Dragon in the Dragon World

Chapter 30 Footprints in the Ruins
Ander felt that he had been tricked. When he yelled: "Whoever supports it, whoever opposes it!", Su Yu and Ye Tao said that the Lu family is highly respected, and you can't rest assured that you, Lu Ande, are here to take care of us little brothers. We will be a support this time, cheering for you.

Ander felt that he shouldn't have made such a head, and wanted to show off to these two families and let them know how good he was, but they seemed to be going down the slope and pushed the trouble on himself.

It is said that the only person who knows the bastards best is the bastards, and Ender could see at a glance the nature of these two guys hidden behind the gowns and suits: bastards who want to fish in troubled waters.

So Ander handed over all the work to the only honest person in the team: Chu Jie.

Still comfortable as a salted fish.

Now, relying on Angers' foreign background and Cambridge's doctoral degree in history, Ander and his party pretended to be an archaeologist who came to China to investigate and his Chinese entourage. They set off from Pingjin and headed west. To the north of Qinzhou.

Now the foreigners are real masters, those officials don't dare to take care of the affairs of foreigners, even if Ander and his party brought a lot of goods, they didn't stop them.

Ander and the others were riding horses, and they were leading two donkeys loaded with goods. On the surface, the goods contained hard currency such as candy chips and kitchen knives, but actually there were a few large pieces of Angers brought from Germany. explosives.

I don't know if the explosives wrapped in oiled paper bags can be stored for 100 years, but it will definitely make the dragon veins go up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Anglo wears a cowboy hat and grows a beard. In his thick Chinese cotton jacket, he looks like a nondescript American cowboy.

Ander wore a pair of glasses and combed his hair back. He looked like a progressive young man who yearned for Western learning.

The little girl Chu Jie became a man during this time, wearing an ordinary cotton padded coat, and followed Ander with three other people leading a mule.

If there is a name for this picture, it should be called the foreign devil, his translator and four attendants.

Of course, Ender wouldn't admit that he was an interpreter, but who told him that this outfit looked so good.

Walking on the road, chatting with a few people, and sometimes Ender would sing a few words impromptuly when he was in the mood, and use some small magic to add a buff to a few people through singing.

After all, Ender is still a bard, so it shouldn't be too easy to do this.

"Ange, when will Tongwan City arrive?"

Ender was sitting on the horse, playing with a piece of dogtail grass in his hand, stroking the fine down on the top of the grass to pass the time.

Maybe I should consider getting a magic pet to play with, Ender thought.

"Come on, didn't the old man in that village say it before, you can see it soon."

Angers pointed to the mountain in front of him, comforting Ander.

There was nothing to do along the way. Although the scenery in Huaxia was good, such a boring journey made Ander a little tired.

Looking at the strangely shaped hills in front of him, Ander wondered why there were such uneven hills on the Loess Plateau.

But upon closer inspection, it turned out that it wasn't a hill, but the ruins of a stone tower.

The hills stretching ahead were not formed naturally, but the ruins of the ancient city wall.

"Look, here we are!" cried Angers.

"The last capital of the Huns, the capital of the Helian Kingdom of Great Xia, will rule over Wancheng!

Ander looked at the city wall in front of him. This once majestic capital had long been destroyed by Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, and it had been uninhabited for nearly a thousand years.

"It's so tall! It feels higher than the city wall of Qinzhou City."

Chu Jie touched the ancient city wall of Tongwan City and looked up. The bumpy walls stretched upwards, and he could only imagine how magnificent the city was once.

"It shouldn't be as high as the wall of Qinzhou City, but it's not much different. After all, it was the former capital."

Anger compared the city wall he saw in Qinzhou City before, and responded.

Ander groped on the wall, and took out the Chu Family's Polu Sword that he had obtained before. The long sword was unsheathed, and Ander raised his hand, and this extremely sharp sword stabbed at the abandoned city wall of Tongwan City.

The Eight-Faced Han Sword pierced through the masonry of the wall without hindrance, and the rest of them were taken aback by Ander's behavior.

"Uncle De, what are you doing!"

Chu Jie jumped up all over. This is the ancestral sword of the Chu family. If it breaks, she will definitely fight An De desperately.

"Haven't you heard the story about Tongwan City?"

Anger reacted and said:

"You mean the thing about stabbing the city wall with a sword to test the quality?"

It is said that when the Huns built Tongwan City, they would stab the wall with their newly made swords. If the sword could penetrate an inch, the builder would be killed. If the sword broke, they would replace it with a forged sword. will be killed.

Ander pulled out the unscathed sword. How could ordinary city walls be comparable to alchemy weapons.

"Looks like whoever built this wall is going to lose their head."

Ender retracted the sword, and motioned to Ange: "I see a gap over there, maybe we can go in through there."

A group of people crossed the city wall, and the appearance of Tongwan City caught their eyes.

There is nothing here. Tongwan City was razed to the ground as early as the Song Dynasty, leaving only the city wall built by the flesh and blood of the craftsmen still strong.

"It seems that we came a few hundred years late, Ahao, did that Friedrich leave any clues?"

Chu Hao scratched his head, adjusted the direction of the braid behind him, and replied:
"After Fushi brought a few people to Tongwan City, there was no news. We all thought they had an accident on the way."

Ender looked at the vast expanse of wasteland, and thought that it would be good if wheat could be planted here, but it's a pity that the common people are not willing to run here, it's too far away.

"Ye Tao, do it, see if you can find anything?"

Ye Jia Ye Tao, Yan Ling: Snake, can control bioelectricity to act like a snake, very suitable for reconnaissance.

When Ye Tao heard this, a trace of excitement appeared on his young face. Under the urging of Long Wen, some invisible electric current flowed slowly under the control of Ye Tao, spying on everything around him.

As soon as the snake came out, Ye Tao frowned. Under the ruined wall, there were countless human corpses buried in the soil. The yellow and white bones were mixed together in a mess, and insects were allowed to make nests among them.

It seems that the legend about Tongwan City is not unreasonable. Those Huns would really kill the craftsmen who built the city and bury them under the city wall.

But soon, the snake fed back something different, Ye Tao beckoned everyone to go to that place.

"Footprints? How is it possible?"

Ender looked at a small depression in the ground, which didn't look like a footprint at all.

"There is little rain in Qinzhou, and it is even drier every winter, so the footprints can be preserved, but the wind and sand are relatively strong, so it is inevitable that there will be missing."

Ye Tao pointed to this small depression and continued walking in another direction.

"Here is the second one, and there is a third one not far ahead..."

Ander looked in the direction of Ye Tao's finger, which was the center of Tongwan City.
