"One sword destroys... Pingcheng!"

Yan Yan originally wanted to say that the sword destroyed the city, but looking at the smooth cut, the word "destroy" was obviously not appropriate.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan suddenly disappeared in front of everyone. After a few jumps, he appeared hundreds of feet outside the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, and continued to rush towards the sand dunes in the distance.

"Your Majesty, what did you discover?" The others hurried to follow.

It was just that Yan Yan's speed was too fast. He stayed briefly for a few breaths in the distance outside the ancient city of Loulan, then continued to rush in another direction. He circled around the outer periphery of the ancient city of Loulan, and then rushed into the center of the ancient city of Loulan, where the royal palace of the Kingdom of Loulan was originally located.

Mo Ya and the others chased all the way, and finally found Yan Yan squatting on the ground in the center of the ancient city, thinking hard.

"What did you find?" Yan Lingji looked at Yan Yan in confusion and asked again.

Yan Yan picked up a handful of sand from the ground, watched it flow through his fingers, and shook his head.

"I originally thought that it was a divine power that destroyed the city with one sword, so I circled the ancient city in all directions, trying to find the direction where He made the move, but I couldn't find it!"

"One sword can flatten the city!" Yan Lingji and Shao Siming shook their heads. This was impossible. According to the hardness of the bricks and stones of the walls of the ancient city of Loulan, even if Ying Qushui, the most powerful attacker in the world, came, he could only cut one side of the stone at most, but it was impossible to cut through such a huge wall with one sword.

The others also looked at each other and shook their heads. Only His Majesty dared to think of such an idea.

To conquer a city with one sword, what kind of power is needed to achieve that?

"Even if it's not a one-sword victory, I think I can find the angle at which the opponent will attack!" Yan Yan continued.

He also didn't quite believe that someone could conquer the city with one sword, so he actually wanted to find the human factor and the angle of attack from the ruins on all sides of the city.

But none were found.

The entire city really disappeared without a trace overnight, just as the General Protecting the Western Regions had said, and no trace could be found.

"Have you found it?" Yan Lingji asked curiously.

"No!" Yan Yan shook his head.

"How was that done?" Yan Lingji continued to ask.

Yan Yan still shook his head. He racked his brains but couldn't think of anything that could achieve this goal.

Even those so-called infrastructure maniacs in later generations could not wipe out a city overnight without leaving any trace.

This can truly be called a miracle.

"Loulan ended up just as it did in history, disappearing without a trace, so that Loulan became a metaphor for the aspirations of scholars and writers of all generations."

Yan Yan suddenly thought that he had changed a lot of things, but the endings of many things did not change.

All dynasties wanted to take revenge on Loulan, but Loulan suddenly disappeared without a trace, so that this long-cherished wish became a knot in the hearts of all literati and poets in later generations.

I will wear golden armor and fight a hundred battles, and I will not return until I have conquered Loulan.

The emperor ordered me to rush to Xingchi and seal the sword. I left you and took Loulan in one night.

The year before last, Loulan was beheaded, and last year, Yuezhi was pacified.

I would like to draw the sword from my waist just to kill Lou Lan.

……

"Hello, great poets and lyricists of later generations. Now that Loulan is gone, you have less to write about. Hello, students of later generations. Now that you have less to recite, you have less to memorize!"

Yan Yan couldn't help but think that those familiar lines of poetry would no longer appear because of Loulan's sudden disappearance.

"There's something!"

However, just when Yan Yan was lost in thought, Yan Lingji suddenly spoke, and her jade hand inserted straight into a foundation brick, and then pulled it out instantly, and a piece of purple brocade was also pulled out. Yan Yan and Shao Siming also immediately fell to Yan Lingji's side, and Yan Yan even grabbed the brocade.

"Boy, I'm the one you'll never get in your life!"

???

Yan Yan was confused. What on earth was written on this?

Shao Siming and Yan Lingji both looked at Yan Yan with strange eyes. It was obvious that this brocade letter was specially left for Yan Yan by Long Yangjun, but the words on it were a little intriguing.

Everyone also saw the words on the brocade book. The General Protecting the Western Regions and his soldiers might not understand it. They didn't know who left this thing and what it meant.

But everyone close to Yan Yan knew it.

It seems that Yan Yan was almost turned gay by Long Yangjun back then.

It can be imagined that Lord Longyang obviously knew that he and the ancient city of Loulan would disappear, so he deliberately left this brocade letter.

As for why it was hidden among the bricks and stones and not discovered by the soldiers and scouts from the General of the Central Army's Mansion who had come to search it earlier, the reason was because of Yan Lingji.

"How did you find out?" Yan Yan turned and looked at Yan Lingji.

The scouts under the command of the General of the Household are all elite. Without special means of hiding, it is impossible for them not to be discovered. By the time Yan Lingji discovered them, even Yan Yan himself did not notice.

Moreover, Yan Lingji acted decisively, as if she had known that there was something in the bricks and stones.

"Fire charm. There is a trace of fire charm on this brocade book." Yan Lingji spoke directly.

Yan Yan understood and was sure that this brocade letter was really left to him by Lord Longyang.

With Lord Longyang's intelligence, he must have known that after he knew about the disappearance of the ancient city of Loulan, he would definitely send people to investigate, or even come in person. No matter whether he came himself or sent people, Yan Lingji would be there.

Long Yangjun knows Yan Yan too well.

When Yan Yan travels, Shao Siming may not follow him, but Yan Lingji will definitely follow him.

"What do you mean!" Yan Yan was speechless. Leaving behind such a letter was just to mock him and disgust him?
Is there such a bad taste?
He could even imagine the expression on Long Yangjun's face when he wrote this brocade letter.

"Before the ancient city of Loulan disappeared, were there any special phenomena, or any special people who came to the ancient city of Loulan and met Lord Longyang?" Yan Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at the General of the Guards of the Western Regions.

The General of the Central Army shook his head. He really couldn't find out anything. Even if he had planted spies in Loulan City, they all disappeared along with the ancient city of Loulan, and he didn't have time to leave any information.

"Is it up or down?" Yan Yan looked at the sky and then at the earth.

For such a huge city and tens of thousands of its inhabitants to disappear at the same time, there is no other possibility: they either ascended to heaven or went into the ground.

And seeing that the base of the city wall is still there, it is obvious that it is not buried underground.

This is even more terrifying.

Going into the ground could be said to be buried by the yellow sand, but ascending to heaven, how is that possible?

Yan Yan had no choice but to look at the brocade book again and again, and he almost pulled out all the threads of the brocade book.

However, still nothing was gained.

"This may become the biggest unsolved mystery in the entire history of China!" the attendant suddenly said.

"Grass (as we all know, is a plant)...where did you come from?" The black crow was startled.

Yan Yan ran such a long circle, and they were able to catch up with him only by relying on martial arts and war horses. This guy is a weakling who can't even tie a chicken, so how could he come so fast?
