Chapter 40: Fortress in the Desert
Chapter 40 �
If what Rong Zhenxiang said is true, then this matter is really strange.
When we left, Yan Zihua once told us that Lan Shao was specifically responsible for the division between the Yan family and the Lan family. Rong Zhenxiang often went to the Lan family with Yan Zihua to collect supplies. How could Rong Zhenxiang not know about the character Lan Shao?
Xie Cong said, "I don't think anything is wrong. I personally feel that Yan Zihua is pretty good. Since she gave this opportunity, should we perform well? This time we have been treated with the archer boy, otherwise we will have a good life in the Yan family if we offend Yan Weiran so much?"
Maybe Xie Cong’s words make sense, because we are thinking too much?
Lei Jie said again: "Why did Yan Zihua let us come? I don't believe that she doesn't have any powerful figures under her. You said, will she secretly monitor us when we come out this time?"
I laughed and said, "This is a strange idea, but who knows what Yan Zihua thinks in her heart? Maybe it's just a test for us? No matter what, we have no way out now. Once we go back, it's probably necessary to turn against Yan Zihua."
Rong Zhenxiang nodded and said, "If we want to save people, we can't care so much now. Let's please Yan Zihua, we still have a chance!"
"Then stop talking nonsense!"
Xie Cong kicked the unicorn's back again, and the unicorn continued to move forward, and we followed closely.
The morning of the desert is already a little warm, and it is indeed very cool when I wake up in the morning. However, after the sun comes out, the whole desert feels like the sky has changed, and the sun gradually becomes vicious.
Because the distance of ten kilometers is not very far, we didn't eat to fill our stomachs before leaving. In my opinion, sha rén, leave and return to the Yan family. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it should be done in one go and can go back before noon.
About another hour later, we finally saw that there was a tall fortress standing on the empty desert land ahead.
From a distance, the black fortress looks like a lighthouse. If you describe it in shape, it is a black ivory drawn from the desert on the flat ground.
At this moment, the wind and sand suddenly hang slightly, and the sand gently lingers around the fortress, as if it is covered with a layer of dreamy light veil.
"It's this where we should do it?" Xie Erlangzi, who had been full of enthusiasm, suddenly calmed down and asked me.
“What to do?”
"Brother Lang, we are here to sha rén this time. It is impossible to rush in and sha directly. Isn't it? Who knows how many people there are and who knows what mechanisms there are?" Xie Cong said with some concern.
"Haha, it's not bad, I can actually consider these things." I smiled and praised Xie Cong, and began to think in my heart.
It is indeed a difficult problem to enter this fortress without doubting it.
Rong Zhenxiang and Xie Cong were silent all the time, as if they were waiting for me to find a way.
I thought for a while before saying, "Let's do it, the arrow boy is waiting for us here, the three of us sneak in."
Rong Zhenxiang said in surprise: "Why am I waiting for you here?"
I said, "There should be more than one person in this fortress. Since Lan Shao is stationed here, there must be people from the Lan family inside. I am afraid that if the Lan family members recognize you, as for us, then."
Xie Cong said: "Yes, although we have been to the Lan family, we have all gone with those servants. Besides, Lei Jie and I are not as handsome as you, so no one can remember us."
Rejie suddenly had a cold face.
Lei Jie asked me, "How to sneak in? Secretly? This desert is so empty, it is probably easy to be seen. Such a fortress has been built like this. It is obviously for the convenience of people inside to observe the situation outside. We were discovered before we got close!"
I turned over and got down the unicorn and said, "Walk over and pretend to be a passing person, wanting to find a place to rest and find some water to drink."
Xie Cong immediately responded: "This idea is good."
Now, it seems that we can only use this stupid method. If you want to sneak in, don’t say whether it is OK. Even if you go in, you won’t be sure that we will be caught before you go in.
I told Rong Zhenxiang to keep the unicorn apart after we go over and not to arouse others' suspicion. Rong Zhenxiang really wanted to follow us, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was the best choice to pick us up outside.
He patted the bow and arrow on his back and said to us, "I'll find a place to tie the unicorns up later, and I'll pick you up outside."
As he said that, Lei Jie and Xie Cong also got out of the unicorn, and Rong Zhenxiang turned around and left with several unicorns.
The fortress in front of me looked mysterious and I didn't know what danger would be waiting for us inside. I took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the fortress with Lei Jie and Xie Cong.
In order to make us look more like people on the road, we rolled around the sand and made our bodies dirty.
About ten minutes later, we were less than two hundred meters away from the fortress.
The fortress is nearly 100 meters high, and the cylinders are painted black, like it is made of stone. It will take a lot of time to build such a fortress in the desert, right?
And I also saw that the fortress was surrounded by small windows, which seemed to be used by the people inside to observe the surrounding situation.
When we were only one hundred meters away from the fortress, there was indeed a warning voice from inside: "Idle people are waiting, leave here quickly and don't get close!"
This warning made my whole body tighten, and all three of us stopped at the same time.
After a while, an iron gate at the bottom of the fortress opened with a loud bang.
Immediately, two tall and big men walked out of the iron gate.
The two men walked towards us with fierce looks.
Xie Cong whispered, "Brother Lang, what should we do?"
I said, "What should I do? Of course, it's up to see what their attitude is. Now that Lan Shao people have not seen each other, do you just want to rush forward?"
Xie Cong said: "Yes."
After a while, two men had arrived in front of us.
Their eyes swept over us with great vigilance, and then asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
I pretended to be very pitiful and sighed: "Two brothers, we are hunters of Hongling."
Before I finished speaking, one of the men interrupted: "Why are the people from Hongling running here to do?"
