The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 315 Fallen Moon City

It's July, the wind is like fire, it's hot and dry, the sand is like iron, and the wind hurts the face. The martial arts caravan and the "Irregular Battalion" team are marching on guard in the semi-desert between Yumen and Black Wind Castle. zone.

Feng Cang, Zhao Zhan and other fire gun teams walked together with more than ten elites from the alien camp, while Mo Qiu and Ning Meng sat in the carriage.

Feeling the strong wind getting stronger and stronger, like a knife shaving his face, Feng Cang blocked his face with his hands and suggested:
"The wind is getting stronger and stronger. It may be a precursor to a sandstorm. I remember that there is an ancient city ruin not far ahead. Let's go there for a while...Brother Qiao, what do you think?"

He has followed the caravan on the Yumen-Dunhuang trade route several times and is quite familiar with this area.

Qiao Xi, the team leader wearing standard white clothes, looked up at the position of the sun, then nodded and said: "It's getting late, and it's really difficult to reach the next station before the sun sets against the wind like this..."

Speaking of this, he asked his subordinates for their opinions, and after most of them agreed, he called Yao Hua who was chatting with Mo Qiu beside the carriage, and asked, "What do you think?"

"I listen to the captain." Yao Hua, whose face was covered by a white scarf, only revealing a pair of enchanting pupils, nodded in agreement.

Next, after instructing the others to turn around, Yao Hua rode back to the carriage, smiled and asked Ning Meng and Mo Qiu who were lying by the window, "Master Mo, Miss Ning, do you know what's ahead?" The origin of the ruins of the ancient city?"

"I don't know..." Ning Meng shook her head and asked curiously, "Sister Hua'er, what's the allusion there?"

"It was called Luoyue City more than 8000 years ago, and it was once the capital of a small foreign country.

“This small country also prospered for a while due to its excellent geographical location.

"But it is a pity that after the end of antiquity and the disappearance of hundreds of kingdoms in the Western Region, this small country lost its geographical advantage. In addition, in the subsequent melee between princes, it fully supported Zhao Song and even sent two princesses as The side concubine of Zhao Song Taizu...

"This is what led to the final destruction of the country." As Yao Hua told the story, her eyes glanced at Ning Meng, who had a childish look on her face, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Was this small country destroyed by our great ancestor?" Mo Qiu was intrigued and asked.

Yao Hua shook her head and said: "That's not the case...it was the wife of Taizu of Zhao and Song Dynasty who destroyed this country.

"The exact name of this Empress of Zhao Song is unknown, but her strength is extremely terrifying! It is said that the flesh and blood souls of tens of thousands of people in Luoyue City were completely refined into elixirs in an instant.

“So this ruins is not haunted by evil spirits like other ancient cities. It is extremely clean and is the best place for merchants to stay.

"However, there are also rumors that although the ruins of Luoyue City are usually safe, they will turn into the most terrifying 'dangerous realm' on the night of the blood moon, and even magical monks will find it difficult to escape.

"But it's hard to tell whether the rumors are true or not. After all, there hasn't been a blood moon in the Yumen area for hundreds of years."

When the few people were chatting happily, the caravan had arrived at the edge of the ruins of Luoyue City.

Although Luoyue City is the capital of a country, after 8000 years of wind and sand, there are not many buildings that have not been wiped out... In other words, only those few palaces reinforced with special materials are still relatively intact.

Before the caravan arrived, another team had already entered the ruins.

There are more than twenty of them, including men and women, old and young. The only thing they have in common is that they all have Thai-Western characteristics in their appearance.The leader of this group of people was a young man with a tall nose and deep eyes. His eyes swept over everyone in the caravan and the alien camp team, and finally landed on the carriage.

But at this time, the members of the Fire Gun Team who saw other people in the ruins also raised their guns.

"Who are you?"

"We are salt traders and we come here to take shelter from the wind and sand. What about you?"

"We are Yumen merchants, and the subordinates of Mr. Chen. We are also here to take shelter from the wind."

"In that case, there are not many empty houses over there, you can just take what you want."

"Thank you."

After the two sides faced off for a moment, Feng Cang took the initiative to talk to the Taixi man, and then his team members slowly moved towards the intact house on the other side of the ruins.

"Captain, those people just now don't look like salt sellers at all...but they don't look like horse bandits, and they don't know where they came from." A member of the "Alien Battalion" reported to Qiao Xihui in a low voice.

Qiao Xi nodded solemnly: "And their strength will not be too low...

"Although it may not be aimed at us, we must be more vigilant tonight."

"Yes, captain." The team member responded in a low voice.

On the other side, Zhao Zhan, the commander of the Fire Gun Team, suddenly shuddered and felt that there was something unclean hidden in the ruins.

……

In the building on the edge of the ruins, Li Wei, the tall-nosed and deep-eyed "painter", observed through the window and then ordered: "This team of fire gunmen vaguely conforms to a certain formation when walking, and it cannot be underestimated.

"It's better to wait until nightfall before taking action."

……

On a sand dune outside the ruins, the captains of the other two teams of the foreign camp used binoculars to stare at Qiao Xi and others who had settled down.

A moment later, he also gave the same order to his men: "Move after dark."
