Xixia dead book

Chapter 175 The KGB and the CIA (12)
Han Jiang still stared at Liang Yuan, Tang Feng hurriedly defended Liang Yuan: "We set off together, how could Liang Yuan have a gun! Stop thinking about it."

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Han Jiang looked away from Liang Yuan. He looked around the room again, and finally fell on Tang Feng again, "We don't have any guns, so where did the gunshots come from? Could it be the two of us?" hallucinating?"

"This..." Tang Feng was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Could it be that there are other people in this deserted dead city?" Liang Yuan suddenly asked in surprise.

What Liang Yuan said made Tang Feng's back tingle in shock. Could there be anyone else in this intricate and deserted dead city?Han Jiang remained calm, "It's entirely possible. Don't forget the two ruts on the Gobi Desert."

"Yes, our old friend will definitely not give up, but... but the two rut marks on the Gobi Desert disappeared later, and they didn't enter the town?" Tang Feng asked suspiciously.

"Who knows? I only know that they have guns in their hands. I don't want a fresh corpse to pop up in this dead city besides the disgusting mummy!" After Han Jiang finished speaking, he strode out of the room, Go to the main room in front.

"A fresh corpse?" Tang Feng was still thinking about Han Jiang's words, which made his stomach churn.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan followed Han Jiang to the front of the main house. Liang Yuan pointed to the door in front of the house and said, "Outside is South Street, and that's where I came in just now."

Tang Feng and Han Jiang glanced outside the gate, and it turned out to be the South Street they had walked through, Han Jiang turned around and looked at the main house, jokingly said: "It seems that this family is considered a big family here, and the yard is quite big. "

After all, Han Jiang kicked open the crumbling door panel of the main room, and walked into the main room. At last, there were no disgusting corpses here. The dilapidated main room was empty, only a few chairs were tilted. Han Jiang just wanted to leave. Feng found a box in the corner on the east side of the main house, "Come and see, what is this?"

Han Jiang walked over and picked up the box in the corner. Unexpectedly, after more than 700 years, the wooden box was already fragile. As soon as Han Jiang picked it up, the wooden box fell apart, and the box was broken into several pieces. A large amount of dust or powder poured out of the box. Han Jiang, who had received chemical defense training, had a secret way, so he quickly dropped the broken wood in his hand and stepped back, "Damn it, biochemical weapon!" Waiting for the powder Disperse, Han Jiang cursed.

Tang Feng was covered by the dust and the unknown substance. He patted the dust on his body, walked over, picked up a wooden board, and gently brushed off the dust on it. A line of Chinese characters in regular script appeared on the wooden board——Xingqing Mansion Zhang Gong Taboo the spirit of Yuanfu.

"What is this?" Liang Yuan asked tremblingly.

"An urn." Tang Feng replied calmly.

"The urn! I said why there are so many powders, but it turned out to be ashes! This place is either a mummified corpse or a cremated ashes. What a fucking bad luck!" Han Jiang complained.

"It's bad luck, but this urn has provided us with some valuable information."

"Oh, what can you tell from this broken box?"

Tang Feng was not in a hurry to answer Han Jiang, and dug out another wooden board from a pile of tatters. This board looked exactly the same as the one just now. Tang Feng also found characters on it, but the characters were small and in regular script. Chinese characters——The Great Khan's conquests have affected my generation, and my father went west and could not return to his hometown. I borrow this box temporarily to comfort my father's spirit and comfort my heart.

"Just these few words, what can you see from it?" Han Jiang urged.

"If I'm not wrong, this family's surname is Zhang, and their ancestral home is Xingqing Prefecture. They should be Han Chinese. They are not merchants, but a family of craftsmen. The 'Great Khan' here should refer to the Great Khan of Mongolia, the Great Khan To use troops against the last stubborn party members in Hanhaimi City, and to build this Qianhu Town, Zhang's family was recruited here. His father, Zhang Yuanfu, died here, but he could not go home for burial. Can temporarily put Zhang Yuanfu's ashes in this box." Tang Feng expressed his inference.

"But what does this mean?" Liang Yuan was puzzled.

"This proves my previous judgment. First, this town is a well-built military fortress. In order to build it, the Mongol Khan recruited a large number of craftsmen, and it was these skilled craftsmen who designed the intricate streets and strong fortress; Second, the construction time here should be very long, so that two generations of the Zhang family have lived here until Qianhu Town was massacred." Tang Feng explained.

Liang Yuan looked at the labyrinth-like houses behind, "These craftsmen built this place..."

"Well, but they ended up dying here too."

"Okay, stop doing archaeology, since we have found a way out, let's get out of here!" Han Jiang was not interested in Tang Feng's textual research, and he was still thinking about the mysterious gunshot in his heart.

[Section [-] Dead City]

1
The three of them walked out of Zhang Zhai and came to the South Street. After walking a few steps, Tang Feng saw their fierce donkey. At this time, the sky had already brightened and the wind had stopped. The whole castle was silent and the Gobi Desert was scorching hot The sun shone on the castle, and the temperature rose rapidly, but Tang Feng's heart was still shrouded in haze.

Tang Feng looked back to the north, and the roofs of some large buildings were exposed in the north of the city, but standing on the South Street, he couldn't see the square where they started, nor could he see the North Street, "Looking at the streets in Qianhu Town It seems to be straight, but it is actually built with a certain arc.”

"So we stood on South Street, but we couldn't see North Street." Liang Yuan also noticed the clue, "Could it be because of the need of military defense?"

"I think so!"

"Okay, think about what we should do next?" Han Jiang shouted impatiently.

"It seems that we are luckier than Misha. We are still safe and sound." Tang Feng was also thinking about the next step.

"I think we'll leave it when we see it. Qianhu Town is not our destination. Now that it's dawn and the wind has stopped, we can continue on our way." Han Jiang revealed his plan.

Tang Feng was also a little moved. He didn't want to be surrounded by these horrible corpses. He might as well leave this ghostly place soon... Tang Feng turned his head suddenly. Suddenly, he felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them in the gate of Zhang's house. He hurried away Two steps, came to the front of Zhang's house, there was no one!Just like the scene I saw just now, there was nothing, even the footprints he left in front of the door were still clearly visible.

Tang Feng walked back to the donkey in a daze, and after getting on the car, Han Jiang urged: "Don't be suspicious, this is an empty city, a dead city. No one from the scientific expedition team came in to investigate except Misha. Friends won't be interested here either, so let's not waste time here either."

"What about the gunshot just now?" Tang Feng was still hesitating.

"Don't care about his gunshots, even if we want to find out the gunshots, we should go out first!"

"Why?" Tang Feng was puzzled.

Han Jiang patted the steering wheel vigorously, "Because I have a very bad feeling. Outside, on the vast Gobi Desert, any clues can't escape my eyes, but here... here I always feel that we are throwing ourselves into a net." , Trapped in this dead city, like getting into a urn, maybe someone is watching us, but we don't know it yet."

"You also feel this way?" Tang Feng asked in surprise.

Han Jiang didn't speak, and the three of them fell into silence. After a long time, Tang Feng made up his mind, "Then let's go out first, but where should we go? The south gate is sealed, so why not fly over from the low wall in the east? "

"No, we can pass through the lane on the west side and look to the west side. If there is a door there, we can just go out there. If there is no door, we can walk along the city wall along the lane to see where there is a gap and go out there. "Han Jiang expressed his opinion.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan nodded in agreement, so Han Jiang mobilized the donkey and got into the lane on the west side.The lane on the west side of the south gate is close to the city wall. It is very narrow and can only accommodate one car. If there is any obstacle ahead, you have to go back.

Han Jiang was cautious, and the speed of the car was not fast. He looked back from time to time. Liang Yuan, who was sitting in the back seat, was stared at by Han Jiang, and said angrily, "Captain Han, why do you keep looking back at me?"

"Who said I was looking at you!"

"Then what are you looking at?"

Han Jiang looked back at the car again, and said, "I always feel that someone is following us behind the car!"

"Ah—" Liang Yuan was taken aback by Han Jiang's words, "You don't bring such scary ones."

"I didn't scare you, I relied on my more than ten years of anti-stalking experience..."

Han Jiang hadn't finished speaking when suddenly Tang Feng yelled, "Be careful!" Han Jiang felt his eyes go dark, and an unknown black object appeared in front of the car, and it hit the donkey's front windshield heavily.

Liang Yuan screamed, Han Jiang hurriedly slammed on the brakes, Tang Feng was still in shock, he found that black object was hitting the windshield in front of the co-pilot, what was that?Tang Feng nervously approached the windshield that had already been smashed with long cracks, "Ah—" It was another terrifying face, Tang Feng instinctively stepped back, and Liang Yuan's stern scream came from behind again, because she He also recognized that it was a mummy that fell from the sky.

"Okay! Stop yelling, and call the other mummies here!" Han Jiang pretended to be calm.

As soon as she heard "Call the other mummies!", Liang Yuan stopped screaming immediately. She was so nervous that she didn't dare to turn her head or look forward. Han Jiang turned to look behind. There was nothing behind the car. , Han Jiang reversed the car, then accelerated sharply, and the mummy lying on the windshield fell to the ground.

"Where did this mummy come from? It didn't really fall from the sky!" Han Jiang shouted.

Tang Feng poked his head out of the car window and looked at the city wall above him, "It can only have fallen from the city wall!"

"Why is it so small? It's so good to hit our car."

"Yeah, the ass is smashed now."

"Okay, don't feel bad about your donkey." After saying that, Han Jiang was about to reactivate the donkey and rushed over. Tang Feng hurriedly shouted, "Are you going to press over this mummy?"

"Any questions?"

"This is not good!" Tang Feng couldn't think of any reason to stop Han Jiang.

"Don't be mother-in-law, this is the only way to do it now!" After Han Jiang finished speaking, he mobilized his donkey and crushed the mummy in front of him. Liang Yuan was knocked up and shouted: "I heard that disrespecting the dead body is to Retribution!"

As soon as Liang Yuan's words fell, their retribution came. Another unknown object fell from the sky. Han Jiang's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he accelerated suddenly. The unknown object landed behind the donkey. road.

Just as Han Jiang finished cursing, another one came. Han Jiang didn't slow down, and the mummified corpse didn't hit the donkey. Liang Yuan kept screaming, and Tang Feng was at a loss. Only Han Jiang was still awake. Some mummified corpses fell from the sky, but none of them hit the donkey again.

When Han Jiang finally drove the car out of the lane and came to the end of West Street, Han Jiang slammed the car on the brakes, jumped out of the car, pulled out his dagger, and rushed straight up the city wall from a collapsed place. Tang Feng and Liang Yuan reacted, They also jumped out of the car, and they saw Han Jiang holding a dagger in his hand, with fierce eyes, standing on the city wall for a long time, and then walked down the city wall resentfully.

"Why, do you suspect that there is someone on the city wall?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang who had returned angrily.

"Then what do you think will happen?"

Tang Feng crossed his hips, looked at the city wall not far away, and shook his head, "I don't know, what did you find on the city wall?"

"Damn it, it's all mummies! How bad luck!" Han Jiang cursed.

"anyone there?"

"I didn't see it!" Han Jiang shook his head.

"What about outside the city?" Tang Feng asked.

"Desolate, no one, no car, we came to a corner forgotten by the world." Han Jiang sighed.

"No! We have never been forgotten, at least these mummies have not forgotten us, ha ha." Tang Feng laughed at himself.

"Come on, let's go out quickly! But..." Han Jiang looked at the city wall in front of him, and was stunned again, "But there seems to be no city gate here."

"Moreover, the city wall is taller and wider than the east and south sides, and it gets bigger and bigger as you go north." Tang Feng said, pointing at the city wall.

Han Jiang also saw the clues, "That's true, but this is also easy to explain. The city was built to defend against enemies from the northwest, so the northwest was built extremely tall."

"Don't jump to conclusions, let's take a look."

Tang Feng and Han Jiang searched at the end of the West Street, but they did not find the city gate, "It seems that there are no city gates on the east and west sides of Qianhu Town, no wonder we didn't see the city gate when we came in from the East Street. "

"Okay, since we can't get out here, let's go back to East Street!"

"Fly out from there again?" Tang Feng recalled the situation when he flew in in the early morning, and still had lingering fears.

"What else could it be?"

Tang Feng didn't have a good reason to refute Han Jiang, so he had to agree with Han Jiang. The three returned to the car, and Han Jiang drove towards East Street, but when the donkey drove to the square in the center of the town, Han Jiang suddenly turned the steering wheel and turned to North Street .

"Hey! Aren't you going to fly out from the low wall in the east?" Tang Feng asked.

"I changed my mind. Since we have gone to the east, south and west, why not go to the north to have a look, maybe the north gate can go out."

"You're going backwards now!"

"It's called contingency!"

While the two were talking, the donkey had already driven to the end of the North Street, Han Jiang stopped the car, and a high rammed earth platform appeared in front of them, and on top of the high platform was a large official building.

"No, North Street should be the longest, why did it end in such a short time?" Han Jiang asked confused.

"Because of the building in front of us!" Tang Feng explained.

"What kind of building is this?" Han Jiang asked.

"This is a typical official building in the Han Dynasty. I think this is the yamen that managed Qianhu Town in the Yuan Dynasty, and even more than a hundred miles away. To be precise, this is not an ordinary yamen, it should be the commanding department of this army."

"It looks pretty grand! And it's still well preserved." Liang Yuan exclaimed.

"Yes, this should be the largest building in the city!" Tang Feng said, staring at the building in front of him.

"Don't talk about these useless things. There is no fork in the vicinity, and the North Street is cut off by this yamen. So, there is no north gate in Qianhu Town?" Han Jiang asked.

Tang Feng jumped out of the car, looked around, and nodded, "I'm afraid that's true. Only one gate is opened on the south side of the whole fortress, and none of the gates are opened on the other three sides."

Han Jiang also looked around for a long time, and suddenly, he patted the donkey's front cover and shouted, "It's not good, it's not good!"

"What do you mean?"

"There are no gates on the east, west, and north sides of this city, but only one gate on the south side. Now the south gate has been sealed by molten iron. This is a real dead city! We are trapped in this dead city now, it is not good, Not good." Han Jiang said solemnly.

"Don't talk nonsense, the east gate wall is low and collapsed, we can go out from there at any time." Tang Feng thought for a while, and then said: "However, the Mongolian army stationed here at that time was probably as you said. The party members of Mi City surrounded the city, became a turtle in a urn, and finally slaughtered them all."

At this time, Han Jiang walked to a gate on the east side of North Street, and was about to go in. Tang Feng grabbed him, "Why are you not in a hurry to go out now?"

"Since you're here, why don't you go in and have a look, I want to see what's scary inside, we've seen so many mummified corpses!" Han Jiang became more excited at the moment.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan also walked into this gate. The front yard was unremarkable. After bypassing the front yard, there was a large flat open space behind. There were piles of things like hills standing on the open space. Approaching one of the piles, brushing off the loess covering it, picked up some granular substances underneath with his hands, looked at it for a while, and said in surprise: "It's millet."

"Muzi? Millet from the Yuan Dynasty?" Han Jiang and Liang Yuan were also surprised.

Tang Feng checked the other piles, all of which were dried up millet, "This seems to be the granary in the city. On the day the city was destroyed, there was still so much grain in the city, which shows that Qianhu Town is an important place for the Mongolian army. military fort."

"It also shows that the last massacre of Qianhu Town was the result of a surprise attack by the party members, and it was definitely not a protracted battle after the siege." Han Jiang deduced.
