Secret arrows are hard to defend

Song Wuan followed the route in his memory to the capitals of the Qi kings. The lack of maintenance of the white stone wall turned gray and yellow under the rubbing of rough sand and stones, and the surface was far from being as smooth as the city wall of Yecheng.The pointed arch of the city gate rises sharper than that of Yecheng, and the scattered houses can be seen from a distance.

This is already a ghost town.

Stepping through the pointed arched city gates and entering the capitals of the kings, Song Wuyanyue discovered the fact that this was already an empty city.The doors and windows of the originally exquisite house were dilapidated and fallen, and the utensils in the house were covered with a thick layer of yellow sand. The wind whimpered and blew across the empty city, circling empty whimpers.

Song Wu'an's throat, which was already faintly aching, tingled from the lack of water. Song Wu'an walked into an empty house with his mouth and nose half covered with a white gauze, and went to the backyard to check the well.The well has dried up.He went to several families in a row, but all he got was the same result.

Song Wuan, who did not find the water source, felt helpless. He was thrown in the desert by Lu Xuandu. Although he had a thousand receivers on him, it was a pity that he had no dry food or water.It took him half a day to walk to the capitals of the Qi kings, and the map that Lu Xuandu showed him was indeed true.It was now midnight, and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was huge, making it even more difficult to tell the direction. Song Wuan did not intend to take the risk of going back to Yecheng by night.If he doesn't get lost in the desert, even if there is no water source, he can return to Yecheng safely.

Song Wu'an headed north all the way, and the terrain was getting higher and higher. This was the direction to go to the city of King Qi. Most people in the world confuse the capital of King Qi with the city of King Qi, but in fact the two refer to different places.The capital of each Qi king is to each Qi, similar to Yujing to Jin, and each Qi king city refers to the palace where each Qi royal family lived for generations, similar to the Taiping Palace in Yujing City.

The red brick building looks a bit abrupt in the city. Each Qi worships flames, and each Qi royal family respects red. Blaze calls himself.If all Qi hadn't been destroyed in the past, he should have lived here, grown up here, and lived here for a long time.

Unfortunately, since the diversion of the Xingren River, the water source of the Qi has become increasingly scarce. Although most of the Qi have engaged in business, they still do not want to abandon their homeland.Most of the Qi people went to Jin, and some went to other surrounding countries.

Before the relocation, the ancestors of each Qi royal family personally extinguished the holy fire, took away the red jade pot containing the holy fire and a small amount of property, and went to the Central Plains, changing their names and surnames and living in seclusion.

The cities of the Qi kings that were completely closed were shown as silver cities, every step was a mechanism, and one wrong step would result in death. The other kings' capitals were just empty cities, and there was no danger at all.The ancestors of the royal family left behind three things: the red jade pot, the map of the capital, and the map of the organs of the king's city, and told future generations not to return here to enter the king's city unless they faced a catastrophe of genocide or rebuilding each Qi.

During the many years of each Qi's demise, the map of the capital of the king and the map of the city's organs were passed down from generation to generation. When it was handed down to Song Wu'an, only the red jade pot remained.Now the Qi royal family has withered to the point where he is the only one left. I'm afraid it can be said that the family has almost disappeared.It's a pity that the red jade pot was also lost in his hands, and it became a luxury to open the cities of the Qi kings.

Looking at the towering red brick wall, Song Wuan knelt down in front of the closed city gate with his robes lifted, bowed his head upright three times, looked at the empty brick wall and sighed, there were no murals at all, he was scheming against Shen Weirui He lied again about opening the king city.

After paying homage to the king's city, Song Wu'an went to the location of each Qi's weapon supervisor recorded in the materials he had read, and after a lot of searching, he found the warehouse where each Qi's refined iron was stored.Song Wu'an looked at the iron eyes of all the elders in the warehouse full of golden light, and wished to remove all these, but he really had more than his heart but not enough power, so he stopped taking them after they were filled with thousands of receivers.

The walls, doors and windows of the weapon prison are very solid, so there is not much yellow sand accumulated in the room. He simply cleaned it and decided to stay here tonight.Although there are no dry branches or the like here, the air is dry enough, and the fuel that has been stored for hundreds of years can still be used. Song Wuan lit a brazier indoors to resist the cold, and found a clean corner to nest in. rest.He was already exhausted after being tortured by Qianhuan Desolate Lan, and now he relaxed, sleepiness hit him very quickly.

Until the middle of the night, Song Wuan was awakened by the louder and louder wind, the originally solid doors and windows were slammed, and the howling wind from outside slapped the wall fiercely with heavy objects.With this kind of wind, it would be too dangerous to even open the window to see the situation, not to mention going out, Song Wuan couldn't help worrying whether the house could withstand such a strong wind.

Song Wuan seemed to be very unlucky tonight. Just when he was worried, a big rock smashed open the window with a "boom", and the strong wind swept in immediately.Song Wu'an suddenly felt dizzy, and after searching for a while, he simply took a pair of armor made of high-quality iron to block the hole.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he vaguely heard the sound of camel bells accompanied by the shouts.Song Wu was stunned for a moment, there could be no one, right?Didn't Lu Xuan leave long ago?He should have left the desert and returned to Yecheng by now, how could he find this place?

With such a strong wind, I am afraid that he encountered a rare black sandstorm. Even if Lu Xuan is a master of martial arts, he must find shelter from the wind. How could he walk around with a camel?Song Wuan listened attentively, but the movement just now disappeared again, it was really just an auditory hallucination.He felt relieved, but there was still an inexplicable worry in his heart.

At this moment, a figure slammed into the door with a loud bang.

Song Wuan: "..."

impossible.Not so coincidental, is it?It must not be Lu Xuandu.Holding such belief, he opened the door expressionlessly, and in the howling wind and sand, he could barely see the person on the ground clearly, that was Lu Xuandu who he wanted to peel and cramp.Lu Xuandu showed him a smug smile, and Song Wuan slammed the door expressionlessly again.

The smile on Lu Xuandu's face suddenly collapsed, he slammed the door helplessly, and shouted without hesitation: "Wu An! Help! The camel is going to be blown away! Help!"

Song Wuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that a camel is always innocent, not to mention it gave him a ride, it would be a pity to let it die with Lu Xuan.After a while, Song Wuan decided to open the door and let the camels in.

at last?In the end, of course, the stubborn Lu Xuan was also included, because Lu Xuan tied himself and the camel together with the judge.Song Wuan couldn't untie the judge in such a strong wind and sand. He brought the camel in, so naturally he had to let Lu Xuan in too.

Lu Xuan, whose hair was disheveled by the strong wind, shook the sand on his body, and smiled at him. Those peach blossom eyes that turned into crescent moons looked hateful and obtrusive.Song Wu'an looked at him coldly: "Why are you here?"

Lu Xuandu comforted the camel, and said innocently: "Of course it was because I was worried that you would be injured in the storm, and turned back halfway." Seeing Song Wu'an showing an expression of extreme distrust, Lu Xuan didn't take it seriously. He said to himself, "I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

"Let's put these meaningless lies to rest. It really makes my stomach churn."

"Huh?" Lu Xuan was thoughtful: "Could it be that these words have the effect of making Wuan happy?"

Song Wu'an was too lazy to talk to him, and sat in another corner of the room to fiddle with the brazier.A water bag fell beside him, Song Wuan glanced at it and did not move.Lu Xuandu came to his side helplessly: "Hey, Wuan, you are so stingy, are you still angry with me?"

Song Wu smiled bleakly: "Didn't Master Lu teach me that things handed by others are not allowed to be imported?"

Lu Xuan smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that there are some things that Wuan still took to heart." He picked up the water bag and opened it, and poured clear water into his mouth from a distance, he drank two gulps and handed it to Song Wuan: "Can you rest assured now?"

Song Wu'an's eyes flicked between him and the water bag for a while, obviously still hesitating.Lu Xuandu held up the water bag with a sincere expression: "Drink, your throat must be very uncomfortable right now?"

After a while, Song Wu'an looked away, but still didn't pick up his water bag.Lu Xuandu sighed: "Wu An, Wu An, I really don't know how to say good things about you." With a movement of his fingertips, the silver chain entangled Song Wuan's hands like a long snake, and Lu Xuan insisted. Opened his mouth and poured water into his mouth, forcing him to swallow the water.

As soon as Lu Xuandu let go, the choked Song Wuan coughed into darkness, and his already injured throat hurt even worse. He coughed for a long time, and finally coughed up a mouthful of blood.Lu Xuandu looked at the pool of blood on the ground and was stunned, he did something bad with his rare kindness, now Song Wuan must hate him even more.

It seems that I really don't have the talent to be a good person.Lu Xuan laughed at himself, and decided to let the bad guys go to the end.He tapped Song Wuan's acupuncture points, forcefully pried open Song Wuan's mouth, poured in the medicine to stop bleeding and reduce swelling, and applied medicine to the bruise on his neck.

Song Wu'an's throat, whose acupoints were unlocked, felt like it was burning, his eyes were full of tears, but he couldn't make any sound from his throat.Lu Xuandu threw him the water bag he had just used, and said, "The medicine is quite strong, and it will wear off after a while. Drink some water after it wears off. Don't let me do it, or you will only feel more uncomfortable."

Anyway, he had already drunk the water in the water bag, this time Song Wuan picked up the water bag without any resistance, and went to the corner farthest from Lu Xuandu, watching his movements vigilantly.Uncharacteristically, Lu Xuandu walked back to the camel, leaned against the camel and closed his eyes to rest.After the pain in his throat subsided, Song Wuan took two sips of water cautiously, and his throat felt much more comfortable.Holding the water bag in his arms, he frowned puzzledly. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what Lu Xuandu's purpose was this time.
