Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The day after Chen Yang decided to leave Xiangyang, he took Wang Yue with him and set off for Gaodu. This trip was inevitable.

He also only took Wang Yue with him, no matter how many people he brought, he would not be a match for Taoists riding donkeys, let alone two Taoists were there, unless he was going with an army and assembled with bows, crossbows or artillery Get up and deal with them, otherwise it will be difficult to kill them.

This place in Gaodu is now Sima Yi's territory. Chen Yang also thought about leading troops to kill him, but it was very inconvenient. If there were more people, his goal would be big, so this time it was just the two of them.

"Master, why don't you go back and wait for me. I'll help you find out those secrets."

Wang Yue said worriedly: "Together this time, it will be very dangerous."

He was worried that Chen Yang would not be able to come back after he left. If it was him, it didn't matter. If Chen Yang was gone, what would happen to the entire Chen family.

"It's better to say that I got you in trouble."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "I didn't even let you go back. Don't take risks with me. Instead, you let me go back first. How is that possible?"

Wang Yue scratched his head and said, "My lord, your existence is very important, so I'm just like this, it's nothing."

Chen Yang didn't bother with him anymore, and continued to walk towards the northwest of Xiangyang. After walking out of the border of the Great Wei, they had to pretend to be people from the Jin Kingdom, and they had to be as careful as possible along the way. I don't know. Unknowingly came to Gaodu city.

Looking at the city, it was still a bit dilapidated, and Chen Yang couldn't tell that there seemed to be a secret hidden in this place.

"Master, we are here, be careful!"

Wang Yue reminded worriedly.

"It doesn't have to be like this, they won't do anything to me for the time being, let's not go into the city, let's go to that place with quicksand."

According to the specific location given by the shadow, Chen Yang walked about three miles northwest of Gaodu, and finally saw the location of the quicksand.

In this place, a vast area is full of sand, and I don’t know how wide it is. Anyway, there is no end in sight, just like a desert.

Normally, there will be no deserts in this kind of place, and the maximum is some high-slope mountains with serious soil erosion. However, the soil erosion in this era is not as severe as in later generations, and the probability of deserts is even smaller.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Yang couldn't help laughing: "Wang Mang and those Taoists are digging Gaodu, but no one has noticed the desert here. Do they really not know, or do they do it on purpose?"

If Wang Mang wrote the Heavenly Book, he would know that the secret is in the quicksand, but instead of doing so, he went to dig Gaodu instead, which seems very problematic.

"Maybe they really don't know?" Wang Yue said.

Since he really didn't know, Wang Mang probably didn't write the book that day, otherwise he would have no reason to dig Gaodu, unless he wanted to deliberately mislead people who came later.

Wang Yue found a big stone beside him and threw it into it forcefully.

As soon as the stone fell on the sand, the quicksand swirled and swallowed it after a while.

"So fast engulfing speed!"

Chen Yang said in surprise.

"My lord, if the secret is down there, how can I find it out?"

Wang Yue was thinking, even if tens of thousands of troops were employed to excavate, no one would be able to excavate this place for decades, and there was still so much sand, it would definitely be a waste of time and money.

If you don't do this, there is no way to find out the secrets inside.

"There will be a way."

Chen Yang thought of the sentence that the quicksand is not stable. I still can't figure out what kind of fluidity it is. Let's think about it later, and said: "Let's go to the city to have a look."

The prosperity of Gaodu City must be incomparable with that of Xiangyang, but the customs here are quite good.

Chen Yang randomly found a restaurant to rest for one night, and continued to wander outside the next day. He didn't ask about the legends or anything, he just simply wandered outside, as if he was on a trip.

"General, why are you here?"

Finally, in this not-so-big city, Guan Ren saw them and exclaimed, "You want to find the secret here too?"

Chen Yang turned around and said with a smile: "You can all come to find the secret, why can't I? Have you made any progress recently?"

Guan Ren shook his head, there was no progress, the past few months in Gaodu was a complete waste of time, but the secret was here again, as if it was right in front of our eyes, but we couldn't grasp it.

"General, what did you find?"

Guan Ren asked.

"I just came here, what can I find? What about Zhang Jiao and the others?"

Chen Yang didn't intend to tell where the quicksand was.

"You come with me!"

Guan Ren led the way and soon came to an ordinary courtyard.

"General, you are here too!"

Zhang Lu asked in surprise, and then Zhang Jiao also came out, also surprised.

"Just you?"

Chen Yang asked, "Where's your master?"

"not here."

Zhang Jiao shook his head, they were elusive, their whereabouts were unpredictable, no one knew where they went, and said: "General, are you here to find the secret, or help us find the secret?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Is there a difference? As long as you find out, no matter what, it will be yours in the end."

Zhang Jiao had nothing to say immediately, but it was unexpected that Chen Yang would come to Gaodu.

"Aren't you going to take me to see where you dug?" Chen Yang asked again.

"It seems that we have a lot of things that we can't hide from the general. In this high capital city, I don't know how many shadows are watching us secretly."

Zhang Jiao didn't refuse, and took Chen Yang to the outside of the city. In a small forest, this place was fenced off, and a wall was built outside, and sand dug out could be seen everywhere.

Chen Yang only ordered the people in the shadow to dig quietly in the dark, but he didn't expect Zhang Jiao and the others to be very high-profile, telling everyone in Gaodu directly that I just want to dig here, what can you do to me.

Walking into the wall, you can find a deep ditch dug inside, covering a large area, and hundreds of people continue to dig here, and the soil is constantly being sent out. These people are like busy machines .

"We have dug nearly two feet deep, and we have also dug a passage leading to the ground, which is about five feet deep from the ground and extends to the Gaodu City. Nothing has been found so far."

Zhang Jiao asked again: "General, what else was written in the parchment scroll that Sima Hui gave you back then?"

"Didn't I already tell you?"

Chen Yang said casually: "Except for the word Gaodu, there is nothing else!"

In this case, Chen Yang couldn't even fool himself, and it was even less likely for them to believe it.

"Your master can't find out the secret, so you just let you dig here?"

Chen Yang asked curiously again, with their strength, they shouldn't be able to find anything.
