I thought that those words of Dao Hu were only used to stop the ghost story of Ye Erye, who knows that these merchants also encountered that-"Ghost City"!

However, it should be just a terrible story.

You know, if there are ghosts, where can these people come alive, they will be torn up by evil spirits.

I said softly to Miaoyan: "Don't be afraid, there are not so many ghosts. Besides, your father is here, and he is there, and the ghosts dare not approach me."

Rapunzel looked up at me: "Really?"

"Of course he is fierce."

"..."

Pei Yuanzhang looked back at me and I immediately coughed and tilted her head to the side.

Although the light cold next to him had been exhausted due to heat stroke and was almost lethargic, he couldn't help hearing the words and shook his head with a smile. Then he said, "Do n’t talk nonsense. , There is something weird. "

Miao Yan opened his eyes and looked at him, then lowered his head.

I know Qing Han wants to try to talk to her, but the wonderful words still can't be completely accepted. I glanced at him and just smiled at me slightly, showing that I didn't care, and I smiled bitterly. Take a moment, then reach out and stroke the hair of Tales.

On the other side, Pei Yuanzhang asked the businessmen of the Huibu department some questions, and finally he dispelled the doubts in his heart.

He turned back and instructed the servants: "Give them some water."

The attendant did not move immediately, but hesitated: "Emperor--"

"Ok?"

"We don't have much water left. If we give them back, I'm afraid--"

Pei Yuanzhang said lightly, "We are almost there, we don't have to bring so much water."

When the attendant heard it, he immediately responded, and ran to the carriage over there to get water for these people. The returning businessmen hurled their heads at Pei Yuanzhang with gratitude, and then they were taken away.

Qing Han and I looked at each other, and didn't speak for a while.

Pei Yuanzhang just said-it's almost here.

In other words, our destination is not far ahead, so we don't even have to look so tightly at the water.

Huangling, is it near here?

People around probably realized something from this sentence, and when those returning businessmen left, Pei Yuanzhang got up and saw everyone watching him. He said calmly, "Just take a break and start."

"Yes!"

This is the time when the sun is the most poisonous in a day. The dry land absorbs all the hotness and spit it out at this time, almost steaming people. I sat under the tree, fanning the wonderful words little by little with a handkerchief in my hand, and when I looked up, I saw Qing Han looking into the distance with a thoughtful expression on his face.

I asked him, "What are you thinking?"

He said, "Your Majesty just said that we were almost there, but I was thinking about this--"

"There is a city."

"Oh?"

"You haven't been here, so you don't know-Qingtang City."

"Qingtang City? Where is that?"

"An old city. In the previous dynasty, there was a capital city, but the dynasty--"

I haven't finished my words, but Qing Han himself understands it. Throughout the dynasties, if the Central Plains dynasty wanted to make a difference in the northwest, Xichuan was indispensable, especially during wartime, this was the most important food channel; However, at the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, because of the relationship between Jiangnan and Jiangxi Province, Xichuan could not be completely controlled, so it was difficult for the Northwest to be included in the map.

Qing Han said, "What about Qingtang City now?"

"The court is not incapable of managing it, but it is difficult to manage. However, because of this relationship, commerce is particularly developed, and the businessmen who come and go-like the team just now, are afraid of thousands and thousands. You can see a lot there and never Something not seen before. "

"Oh?"

Qing Han raised her eyebrows slightly, and the coquettish words on the side immediately asked curiously: "Really? Mother, what's there?"

I laughed: "That's more, you know when you go."

"Oh."

When I looked up, I saw Qing Han looking at me: "Do you really know the situation here?"

I smiled: "You forgot where I grew up. The toast in Qingchuan has been with us very closely. I have heard of these things since I was a kid. But after so many years, some may have changed."

"That—" he said thoughtfully: "Is the Emperor's Tomb really there?"

"I'm going to know this before."

I said, looking at the fiery road ahead, and then said, "Close your eyes and raise your soul, there is still a way to go."

"Ok."

|

After resting for another half an hour, Pei Yuanzhang ordered everyone to go on the road.

Probably because we knew that we were about to reach our destination, everyone worked hard to get on the road next time, but even then, it took a full day to finally see the looming yellow sand in the sky when the sand gradually rose. City silhouette.

Qingtang City, finally here!

Gradually, a patch of green appeared on the ground in front of it, which was a patch of grassland. The closer to the city, the denser the grassland, the more the city was surrounded in the center, like an oasis. Bonsai.

Although everyone was very exhausted after rushing through the day and night, they still rushed forward in a hurry and walked for half an hour before finally seeing the tall tower in front of them.

We also saw a lot of abandoned or small towns on the way here. Almost all the walls in the towns were compacted by loess, but this Qingtang city was not. The towers and walls were piled up. The stone bricks are black and gray, and they seem to have been burned. On the sky of yellow sand and loess, the sudden appearance of such a color gives people a very unexpected, heavy and majestic feeling.

But it also makes people feel extra reliable.

The city gates have been wide open, but here is not lined up neatly to welcome the holy car like other places. Although I know that Pei Yuanzhang has sent a pioneer to come here in advance, he is definitely not willing to let too many people pay attention To yourself, after all-not far from this place, it may be the emperor's tomb.

On the city tower, various flags rang in the sand, and when we entered the city gate, the soldiers in front of the city came forward to check, and a servant came forward and showed them only a token. Those who guarded the city The soldiers immediately retreated to both sides and knelt down, but Pei Yuanzhang said gently in the car, and these people did not dare to act rashly, but retreated to both sides of the gate.

I faintly heard the message from the attendant in the past, so that they should not alarm the people in the city, and then our carriage continued to move forward.

Immediately after entering the city, the aeolian sand became much smaller.

But even so, the smell of dust was slowly in the air, and because Pei Yuanzhang did not notify in advance, the people in Qingtang City did not know that they would welcome the holy drive, so the streets were lively and messy, and people came and went Stopping on the road makes our team difficult, so stop for a while.

But Pei Yuanzhang didn't seem to be in a hurry to move forward, and didn't even let people clear the road.

In this way, we will have the opportunity to see something that we usually do not see.

Immediately after entering the city, the coquettishly tore off the spar that I tied to her ears. Because the wind and sand on the road was too large, I was worried that the child's lungs could not bear it. Live your curiosity, and immediately reach out to touch the curtain. I hurriedly stopped her and whispered, "Your father is not going to reveal your identity. You will be angry if you do this."

Shuoyan stopped immediately and thought about it: "So, can I see it secretly?"

I laughed: "Okay, sit down with your mother."

She immediately moved to me, leaned against the board like me, stretched out a corner of the curtain, and saw the situation outside the carriage.

Although the yellow sand outside is full of sky, the Qingtang City is very clean, and there are even traces of water spraying on the streets. The houses on both sides of the street and the people kneeling can see some different features from the Central Plains city pond. Come, even, the taste of the food floating above the street market, and the different languages ​​heard in the ear, also show a strange style.

Miaoyan looked out curiously, just at a stall by the road, a middle-aged man raised his head and yelled out loud. The language he spoke was also incomprehensible to him. The curly tan beard had a good look when he looked up. Seen into our curtains.

Raunchy immediately pointed his finger at the man: "Mother, you look strange to that man--"

"Don't point fingers at people, it's rude."

"Oh."

She obediently retreated.

Next, she was dizzying, not only with strange looks, but also many fruits and vegetables she had never seen before. If I did n’t hold her, this girl would probably have slipped off the carriage and watched. It's lively.

The carriage stopped and stopped, watching enough of the lively bazaar in the city, finally the most prosperous section of the road.

The noise was left behind by us, and the carriage drove into another area, which was much quieter, and the houses were obviously dominated by the Central Plains. Then we saw the palaces of Qingtang City.

Compared to such a huge city, this house is considered to be humble. The officials inside probably didn't expect that the emperor would drive in person, and one by one came out kneeling to meet the driver. And Pei Yuanzhang didn't have the slightest appeasement to this sudden attack that scared people. He simply ordered two sentences to make people ready to rest. All of us followed in. Miao Yan and I lived in a small three-story attic.

After settling for a moment, I opened the window and saw the distant mountains beyond the city.

At this time, the sun was about to go down, the sun faded, but it was aqua red, shining on that mountain, revealing almost strange colorful light.

I don't know when the wonderful words came. When I saw this scene, I was amazed, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
