After getting on the private plane of Xiaoguo, Dongfang Yu explained the issues that he needed to pay attention to in the future, and then closed his eyes and rested. He needed to maintain his energy. After all, it would be a severe battle next time, and he must maintain his best condition. Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn stopped talking after listening to Dongfang Yu's explanation. The two women looked at the scenery outside, not knowing what they were thinking.

After half a day of flight, they arrived safely at Doha, the capital of Qatar in the Middle East. Qatar is an Arab country in southwestern Asia. It is located on the Qatar Peninsula on the southwest coast of the Persian Gulf. It borders the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The coastline is 550 miles long and has a tropical desert climate. The highest temperature in summer can reach 46 degrees, the lowest temperature in winter is seven degrees, and the annual average precipitation is only 125 mm. The capital is Doha, the largest city in the country and the economic, transportation and cultural center. It is one of the famous ports of the Persian Gulf. It is located in the middle of the east coast of the Qatar Peninsula. The climate is hot and humid in summer, and the climate is cool in winter, with a population of about 446,000, and foreigners account for about 70%, mainly from India, Pakistan and Southeast Asian countries.

After resting at Doha Airport for half an hour, the three boarded a flight to Shancheng. After the trip was transferred to Shancheng Airport, they flew to Urumqi. After more than ten hours, the three finally arrived in Urumqi.

After arriving in Urumqi, Dongfang Yu had already prepared. As the prince of the Dongfang family, he also had real estate development companies and hotels in Urumqi. When Dongfang Yu was in Qatar, he had already called the person in charge of Xinjiang. After getting off the plane, the company's special car went directly to the airport to receive them. The prince arrived, who dared not to buy it?

The car arrived at the five-star hotel of Oriental Group in Urumqi. The staff had already prepared it. After eating a little, the three of them started to rest. After all, the long flight made the three very tired. Even if they had rested on the plane, they did not feel comfortable sleeping in a big bed.

Dongfang Yu first sent Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn to a presidential suite to rest, then returned to the suite arranged for him by the general manager of the Xinjiang branch. After taking a comfortable shower, he fell asleep on the big bed.

I slept well this time and didn't get up until after 10 o'clock the next morning. After Dongfang Yu got up and washed up, he originally planned to wake up Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn. However, considering that they were here for the first time, the time difference must have not been adjusted yet, so I asked them to take a little more rest.

After staying in Xinjiang for two days, Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn gradually adjusted the jet lag, and the few people were ready to set off. In the past two days, there was no news about the kidnappers. Dongfang Yu didn't know what the other party was trying to make, but since he had arrived, there was no reason to retreat. Moreover, this method was what he thought. Dongfang Yu planned that if there was no news about the other party tomorrow, they would set off to find the Heshi Bi by themselves.

That night, Dongfang Yu was packing his bags, and his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw it was a strange number. Dongfang Yu thought to himself, was it the kidnapper's phone number, and answered the phone randomly. Hello, hello.

Dongfang Yu, right?I heard it as the sound of answering the phone in a small country.

It's me, are you here?Dongfang Yu asked hurriedly.

Don't worry, since I promised, I won't break the appointment.

The other party said coldly, "You will set out tomorrow first. I will be a little late here. Just keep in touch at that time. I have sent someone to send you a satellite phone number and use this satellite phone number to contact you."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

At this time, a knock sounded outside the door. Dongfang Yu opened the door and saw a waiter coming. Young Master, someone sent this thing to the lobby in the afternoon and said it was for you.

Dongfang Yu took something wrapped in a yellow paper bag and knew that it must be the satellite phone call that the kidnappers said, OK, thank you.

After receiving the paper bag and thanking him, Dongfang Yu closed the door and opened the paper bag. It was indeed a satellite phone. He took the satellite phone and looked at it. After thinking about what to do next, he called Princess Natalie's room with the phone, informing them that they would start to set off tomorrow, and then took a shower and went to bed, because he knew that there would be a severe battle next, and he did not dare to take it lightly.

The next day, according to the Kwai Book of the Small Kingdom Royal Cowhide, the first route of the itinerary is from Urumqi to Bosten Lake, and then from Bosten Lake to the southwest, walking west along the Peacock River until it finds the ancient river channel to the south. Bosten can be translated as standing. The origin of this name is because there are three mountains in the middle of the lake standing in the lake. In ancient times, this lake was also called the sea of ​​fish, and it is the largest inland freshwater lake in China. The Peacock River originates from here and flows to the depths of Takramagan.

From Urumqi to Bosten Lake, it took only half a day to drive forward. Along the way, Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn didn't speak, but just looked out the window quietly. Because they were about to hurry, the two women were wearing sportswear at this time. In Dongfang Yu's eyes, there was a unique beauty. However, Dongfang Yu was not in the mood to appreciate this beauty at this time. No one knew what would be waiting for them next. There were enemies hiding in the dark, and facing the lonely smoke in the desert and the dangers that they didn't know. Dongfang Yu began to regret his intelligence this time, but now he was on the road. Even if he regretted it, it was too late. He could only take one step at a time.

After arriving at Bosten Lake, the three of them began to ride on the camel's back. The camel dragged a lot of dry food, some equipment for tomb robbers and things to sleep in the open. When passing by the lake, looking around, the vast and far-reaching blue lake water was dazzling, and inadvertently, it had an illusion that it seemed to have reached the end of the world. If it weren't for something, Dongfang Yu really wanted to stay and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The initial journey is not a desert. This section of the ancient river channel of the Peacock River existed before the river was diverted. The riverbeds in some areas were not completely dried up, and the sand was also shallow. There were scattered small lakes and seas everywhere. Occasionally, a small group of red-billed gulls and red-billed ducks swam on the water surface. Along the peacock River, there are small oasis, with sand dates, poplars and some shrubs growing. After passing this river bay, it will be truly entered the desert. The Peacock River will be diverted to the southeast, and towards the other side are Loulan, Lop Nur, and Danya. We will head southwest and enter the Black Desert. This is a large liquid desert. The strong wind blows the sand dunes, and the landform is different every day without any characteristics. The ancient river channel has long disappeared.

Fortunately, there was a cowhide book from the royal family of the small country, otherwise he might have lost his way. After two consecutive days of travel, the three of them were a little tired. They found a leeward land and started to set up a tent to rest. Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn had a tent, and Dongfang Yu had a tent alone. The continuous journey caused the three of them to fall asleep quickly.

The next morning, Dongfang Yu woke up from his sleep. At this time, the first ray of sunshine in the morning rose from the east horizon, reflecting the clouds in the sky red. The sand dunes in the desert were covered with a layer of rays of rays. The dry poplar and rippling yellow sand were reflected in golden red, and the thick colors formed a magnificent picture between the sky and the earth. Such a beautiful scenery made the three of them feel refreshed, but soon the spirit became worry. Dongfang Yu had already done a lot of effort before entering the desert. In the desert, if the morning glow did not go out and the sunset traveled thousands of miles, if the fiery clouds in the morning are not a good sign, I hope this trip will go smoothly.

It has been three or four days since this trip, and there is no news about the kidnappers. What kind of abacus are they fighting? There are dangers in the desert at any time. Dongfang Yu is more and more confused about the thoughts of these kidnappers. It seems that he meets an opponent. The more he does this, the more he needs to calm down. Dongfang Yu secretly warns himself.

The three of them walked for another day. In the evening, a breeze blew across the sand dunes, rolling up strands of fine sand. The sky in the distance gradually turned into a dark yellow. When Dongfang Yu saw this scene, he thought that what he should come was always coming. This is the situation that Dongfang Yu least wanted to encounter, so he shouted: Go quickly and find a hidden place to hide from the wind.

Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn's two daughters, when they saw Dongfang Yu's faces changed drastically, they couldn't help but become nervous. The sky, which was still clear just now, seemed to darken in an instant. The wind came too fast, and the fine sand was swept into the air by the wind, and the visibility was getting lower and lower. This trip was indeed not easy for the two of them. Maybe it was because of the comfort of the queen, otherwise the two women would not have worked so hard.

Dongfang Yu saw this and couldn't help but have a more favorable impression of the two women. After all, one is a princess and the other is a concubine. There is no need to suffer such pain at all. Just ask two people to come down, but they have to come in person. The only explanation is that they are worried about the queen's comfort.

At this time, the wind became more and more fierce, and the wild sand was raging, and there was a dark yellow everywhere. In order to avoid falling behind, Dongfang Yu held Princess Natalie in one hand and camels in the other. Princess Natalie tightly pulled her sister-in-law, Princess Marilyn, and the three of them walked forward quickly. I don’t know how long they had walked, Dongfang Yu suddenly saw a broken city wall in front, and a large fortress with rammed earth below. It turned out that this was a small ruin of ancient city.

Most of the buildings were buried by yellow sand. Some houses had collapsed, but only the solid city wall was towering out, and the wind and sun were exposed. It had been many years since then, and it had already become the same color as the desert. If you look from a distance, you would only think it was a big sand dune. If you don’t turn in from the side, you will never find this ancient castle. I don’t know if it is destined to break in, but you actually broke in in a mess without intention. The wind and sand outside were so strong that Dongfang Yu decided to go in and hide for a while. After all, in this case, it is really God’s eyes to hide.

Dongfang Yu asked Camel to lie down beside the wall, and then took Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn down from the broken roof of a big house. Although the ancient city had walls to block the wind and sand, some parts of the city walls were broken. Over the years, a large amount of sand had been blown into the city by the wind, and the damaged houses were filled with fine sand, which was more than two meters thick.

The big house where Dongfang Yu went into the shelter may have a facilities like the yamen or the city hall, which was quite tall. Even so, he still had to bend over and bump into the wooden beam on it as soon as he looked up. Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn might be exhausted. Once he entered, he sat on the ground, regardless of his identity and status. Perhaps it was because of the darkness, but Dongfang Yu could see it.

After Dongfang Yu went in, he observed around him and saw that the exterior wall of the room was covered with wormwood. This was a kind of hay. He quickly leaned out and pulled out some of them, took out the solid fuel, lit a small fire to keep warm to Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn.

The dark ancient house was illuminated by the fire. With the light, the three of them felt much better. Dongfang Yu looked around again and looked dilapidated. It seemed that they were very old. At this time, a soldier stone statue by the wall attracted Dongfang Yu's attention. The soldier stone statue was two meters tall, holding a big knife, standing majestic. The two girls, Princess Natalie and Princess Marilyn, also noticed the existence of the soldier stone statues, and got up from the ground and walked to Dongfang Yu's side.

What is this Ah?Princess Natalie asked.

It's a bit like Terracotta Warriors, but if it's Terracotta Warriors, how could it appear here?

Dongfang Yu said as if he answered and asked questions. It was indeed a bit surprising to Dongfang Yu to see this soldier stone statue here. He couldn't think of why such things appeared here. From the surroundings, there was only a thousand years of historical dust. You should know that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang were a product of more than two thousand years ago. Where was the error in the middle?

Is it my own vision?

Or something?

The so-called destiny is his own way. Dongfang Yu completely believed this sentence. If it weren't for the wind and sand, they wouldn't have walked randomly. But when they discovered this so-called ancient city and saw this so-called product of the Qin Shihuang era, it seemed that this trip was not dangerous, and it would be more of an unexplainable mystery.

Terracotta Warriors?Are you talking about Qin Shihuang’s Terracotta Warriors?Princess Marilyn said hurriedly after hearing Dongfang Yu's words.

Yes, but the possibility of Terracotta Warriors and Horses appearing here is too small.

Dongfang Yu glanced at Princess Marilyn and thought to himself how could she know about the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang?

But when I think about it, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang are famous all over the world, and it is not surprising that Princess Marilyn knows it.

It is not impossible. When I was in college, I studied ancient Chinese history and had some research on this aspect.

Princess Marilyn paused and continued: At that time, I and several classmates agreed that in the Qin Dynasty, the power had actually extended to the Western Regions, but there was no detailed record. The Western Regions formed a country around the 5th century in the 19th century in the testable history and began to develop independently. Before Zhang Qian opened up the Western Regions, the Xiongnu had always dominated the countries in the Western Regions. The Qin Dynasty and the Xiongnu continued to fight. Until the destruction of the six kingdoms, Qin Shihuang ordered Meng Tian to send 300,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu and obtain the Hetao Plain. In order to resist the Xiongnu going south and consolidate the border of the northern county, Qin Shihuang ordered Meng Tian to preside over the construction of the Great Wall, which was relatively stable. Perhaps the culture of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses was a product of the war at that time.

Dongfang Yu accepted this. Unexpectedly, the beautiful and noble Princess Marilyn had studied ancient Chinese history in college. It seems that people really can't just look at their appearance.

Then, according to my sister-in-law, it won’t be a grave here?Princess Natalie suddenly said nervously, looking around.

It shouldn't be. Perhaps it might be considered an art after the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were passed down.

Dongfang Yu resolved Princess Natalie's nervousness. After all, he had already looked around carefully before, and it didn't look like a cemetery around him.

Xiaoyu is right, this place is completely different from the cemetery in the Western Regions at that time.Princess Marilyn also agrees with Dongfang Yu's point of view.

When Princess Natalie heard that this was not a grave, she felt relieved, walked to Princess Marilyn, put her shoulders on her and said, "Since this is not a grave, then I'll feel relieved. I think we'd better take a break early."

OK.

Princess Marilyn nodded, and she showed obvious fatigue in her pretty face. It was indeed very energy-consuming to rush in the desert. A strong man might not be able to withstand such a running rush, let alone two women who rarely endure hardships?

Dongfang Yu looked around again. To be on the safe side, he planned to take turns to rest. After all, in this unfamiliar waste city, it would be bad if there was any danger. The two women also agreed with Dongfang Yu's point of view, so Dongfang Yu protected him first and then changed shifts after they had rested.

Helping the two women set up the tent, Dongfang Yu looked at the time. It was already evening. The sandstorm outside still did not stop, but was becoming more and more powerful. Maybe it would shave all night long. After shook his head, Dongfang Yu sat in the corner of the wall and held a hunting rifle in his arms to prevent wild beasts and the like from suddenly jumping in. While smoking, he listened to the wind outside. It was a headache to think of going deep into the desert. Who knew how many dangerous traps were hidden in the depths of the desert? Today, when encountering a large sandstorm, there was nothing wrong with everyone. This could definitely be considered a miracle.

Dongfang Yu could think of the gods, smoking one after another. In fact, he doesn't smoke much, maybe because he is too upset. I don't know how long it took, but the sky outside was already dark and the wind was still so loud, like countless devils crying, and sand fell into the holes on the roof from time to time. The wind continued to stop, I was afraid that the broken city wall in front would be swallowed by the sand.

I don’t know how long it took, Dongfang Yu extinguished the cigarette in his hand, looked at the Terracotta Warriors again, and suddenly thought of some information about Qin Shihuang’s Terracotta Warriors and Horses that he had seen before.
