Looking at the vivid but somewhat simple map in my hand, I could only nod helplessly: "There is no other way, this is the only way!",

Although only the east and west cities were vaguely distinguishable, the six people were still divided into three groups. Shen Jiuer and I were in a group, Qian Shan and Liu Zhong were in a group, and Ma Jun and Li Meng were in a group. They searched in the direction of the three ancient cities. past.

After boarding the East City, I looked west along the direction of the city wall. On a steep mountain wall four or five kilometers away, I could vaguely see the West City. In the two cities, I could only see a bay of clear water meandering from north to south. I passed by, but on both sides of the river, two open areas attracted my attention.

That was the battlefield where Nurhachi rode his horse and drew his bow to lead the annexation of Yehe. Under the leadership of Nurhaci, the Jianzhou cavalry came out in full force and finally placed the territory of Yehe under the name of the Aixing Jueluo family. The mountain breeze blew through the patches of grass, and it seemed that I was instantly transported to the era when gold and iron were clashing, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Shen Jiuer on the side saw that I was in a daze and asked me puzzledly: "What's wrong with you?".

I rubbed my brows and replied to Shen Jiuer. "It's nothing, I just thought of what a tragic scene it was to fight with blood on this ancient battlefield!",

When Shen Jiuer heard what I said, he couldn't help rolling his eyes at me, but he looked at the river that was only visible in the two cities. His eyes were full of gentleness and he said: "Oh, you men know how to think about those who fight and kill all day long. ,Look how beautiful that river is!",

"That should be the Yehe River. Yehe means the sun by the river in Manchu."

When I heard Shen Jiu'er's words, my first feeling was that I almost fell down. You know, even if Qian Shan and I combined, Shen Jiu'er alone couldn't beat her, but I didn't have the courage to say these words. Speaking to Shen Jiu'er, just following the direction of Shen Jiu'er's gaze and looking at the patches of light rising above the blue waves, it actually gave people a wonderful feeling of reality and illusion, just like the sun on the blue waves. It's like rippling in it.

"Look, they are almost at Xicheng. Let's start quickly!" Shen Jiuer's voice sounded again. At this time, Qian Shan and Liu Zhong were less than one kilometer away from Xicheng.

After hearing Shen Jiuer's words, I finally remembered the ultimate purpose of our coming here. Shen Jiuer and I discussed it and decided that it would be more efficient for us to search separately, so we started to search Dongcheng separately according to the established ideas. search.

A few hours later, Qian Shan returned to the east city of Yehe Ancient City, sweating profusely, and shouted to me at the top of his lungs: "Seven yuan, have you discovered anything?"

"I didn't find anything special here, did you find anything over there?" Although I was not as embarrassed as Qian Shan at this time, I was still exhausted. After all, searching this entire city took a lot of energy out of me. A lot of energy.

Qian Shan wiped the sweat from his head and said a little tiredly: "Damn, someone discovered it. Third brother, I almost licked all over Xicheng, and I didn't find any clues at all!",

Li Meng on the side also said to me with a tired look on his face: "We basically didn't find anything there.",

Since the original Shangjianfu City can now basically be called a ruins, not much effort was wasted.

,

Although there are only some buildings in Xicheng whose original appearance cannot be distinguished, it seems that it is not troublesome to search. However, the more difficult it is, the more complicated the search will be. What makes me more worried is whether we want to search. Those clues have been destroyed over time.

Shen Jiuer didn't know when, he came to my side and asked me, his big eyes full of inquiry: "Brother Qi, do you think we missed anything?"

Looking at the slightly disappointed and somewhat expectant eyes of everyone, I felt confused in my heart. At the same time, I kept looking back and forth from the direction of Xicheng and Shangjian Fucheng. Suddenly, the kind of feeling that made me feel a little bit... The feeling of being difficult to grasp reappeared, so I quickly took out the sheepskin map and placed it on a piece of bluestone. At the same time, I tried to calm down and think about the whole problem in a different way.

My fingers kept wandering around the map, and the connecting lines were constantly forming in my mind in the direction of Xicheng and Shangjian Fucheng, as well as on the ground in my hands. I suddenly had a feeling that something would happen soon. It’s time to get to the answer hidden in this picture.

"I see!"

Just when I turned the map upside down again, I finally understood what the secret recorded in this ancient sheepskin map was. The feeling of sudden enlightenment made my whole body excited.

"Lao Qi, did you find something?"

Qian Shan waited aside for a long time but never dared to disturb me. Seeing my bright face, he rushed over immediately, and Shen Jiuer and others also gathered around me. The search almost made everyone feel exhausted and lost. At this moment, something was suddenly discovered, and everyone's eyes were full of expectation.

I proudly arranged the ancient sheepskin map, and laid it out neatly in front of everyone, as if a teacher was teaching students. I pointed with my finger at the place representing the river on the map and said to Qian Shan. : "Three Fatty, look at the Yehe River on this map and the current locations of Xicheng and Shangjian Fucheng. Did you find anything?"

Qian Shan slightly narrowed his small eyes that were completely out of proportion to his fat face and observed for a moment, then said: "Well..., judging from the distance between the Yehe River and this point on the map, this point should not be It is the Shang Supervisory City, and it can only be one of the West City or the East City."

I was a little surprised by Qian Shan's performance this time. Compared with before, he was completely different. I could see the essence almost at once: "Three fat brothers are just three fat brothers. Their brains are indeed as good as their meat." ah!",.

"Hey, look, I am... Lao Qi, are you praising your third brother, or are you hurting your third brother?"

After hearing my words, Qian Shan had a look of pride on his face, but when he heard my next words, the fat and smile on his face froze almost at the same moment, and then he was about to rush up and punch me. .

Obviously, the close hand-to-hand fight between the two of me, Qian Shan, made Miss Jiu'er feel a little helpless: "Okay, can you two live treasures stop making trouble for now? Tell me quickly, what did you find? Even if it's This point can only represent the East City or the West City, so what does it mean? We have searched both the East City and the West City, but still found nothing."

Resisted

After several rounds of Qian Shan's offensive, I proudly held the map in front of Shen Jiu'er. As I spoke, I pointed a few points on the map with my fingers and gestured to Shen Jiu'er: "Look, what if If it’s the East City, then this should be the West City, and this should be the Shang Supervisory City!”

Listening to my words, Shen Jiu'er obviously still didn't understand what I was trying to explain. At the same time, he also expressed his doubts to me: "Isn't it impossible to determine whether this is the East City or the West City?"

I had already guessed that Shen Jiuer would ask this question. This was also the dilemma I was in before, so I turned the map in my hand over and marked it again: "Yes, but if you assume that this is If it’s the West City, then this should be the East City, and this location should be the Shang Supervisory City.”

"This is……"

Looking at my markings on the map again, Shen Jiuer's big eyes almost widened. On the map, under my two markings, the three points representing the hypothetical East City and West City were connected. A straight line, and the locations of the two hypothetical merchant supervising cities are exactly at the upper left and lower right of the straight line connecting the east and west cities respectively.

At this moment, Shen Jiuer seemed to be a marionette in my hand, and his eyes moved slowly along the movement of my fingers. When the two hypothetical positions of the Shang Supervisory City were connected in a straight line again, the two The intersection of the straight lines is exactly in the center of the area representing the Yehe River on the map.

Shen Jiuer's big watery eyes looked at me with suspicion. She could never imagine that the location I inferred was in the middle of the Yehe River: "You mean this is the place we are really looking for." ?”

"I wasn't sure at first, but you can touch it here!" Looking at Shen Jiuer's unbelievable look, he handed the map in his hand to Shen Jiuer and motioned her to touch the two lines on the map. The point where straight lines intersect.

The moment Shen Jiuer's fingers touched the sheepskin map, his expression couldn't help but change again, because at this time Shen Jiuer could clearly feel the point near the intersection of the two straight lines on the map through the touch of his fingers. , I could vaguely feel a few dense raised points. Although it was not very obvious, compared with the touch of the surrounding areas, I could immediately feel the difference.

"Damn it, Lao Qi, no way. Is the place we are looking for in the river? It's really big this time. Do we have to drain all the water in the river?" Qian Shan also followed suit. His big fat hands touched the map, and then he also felt the special touch of that area, and his expression couldn't help but change. You know, even if he killed Qian Shan, he would never imagine what they were looking for in the end. The place would be in a place like this.

"Let's go and take a look first. Brother Jun, you two go get the things. We will meet at the river in a moment." After pondering for a moment, Shen Jiuer's eyes once again shined with a calm light, while gesturing to me and Qian Shan and the others went to look for the marked points hidden on the map, while on the other hand they gave instructions to Ma Jun and others.
