Chapter 93 The Queen's Law
Chapter 93 The Law of the Queen of Excellence
In addition to Ershu and An Liman, the team now has nine active people, five AK47s and sufficient ammunition. This start will be much smoother.
In the end, except Professor Chen and Ye Yixin, who were slightly lighter, everyone else, including Shirley Yang, carried sufficient water and food, as well as other instruments and supplies.
Before leaving, Hu Bayi was worried and pulled An Liman and asked: "Old man, how will your Hu General punish those who lie and betray?"
When An Li heard this, he perked up and said, "Hu Da will let his money and salt turn into sand together, and let him starve to death! After death, he will be thrown into hot sand that is hotter than the Black Desert."
Hell, you will suffer eighteen hundred kinds of sufferings!"
These words sounded like explanations, but they were more like swearing. As a person with firm faith, he could swear such a heavy oath with his true God, which made everyone feel much more at ease.
The second uncle also patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and repeatedly warned him, and finally said: "When in danger, give priority to ensuring your own safety, so as not to be embarrassed. Don't be like a big fool and keep thinking about others. Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood."
The second uncle said and handed him a small cloth bag and told him to put it in the safest place.
"What is this?" Xiao Ran asked, holding the bag.
The second uncle quickly pressed his hand down and whispered: "Fa Qiu Yin..."
Xiao Ran suddenly realized that this thing would be really useful in the city. The second uncle watched Xiao Ran stuff the bag into his clothes, and then he felt relieved.
After everyone finally finished sorting out, the team of 9 people left the mountain pass and headed towards the ancient city.
"It's a soldier, not a soldier, and I have forty pounds on my body..." Hu Bayi sighed.
Chu Jian asked curiously: "Brother Hu, what do you mean by this?"
Before Hu Bayi could speak, the fat man answered first: "I know this! When marching, no matter whether you are an officer or a soldier in the team, you have to carry at least forty kilograms of equipment. What if you are a machine gunner?
You have to carry several guns, not to mention heavy infantry weapons such as flamethrowers and anti-tank weapons. Even for the cooking team, the pot and grain evenly distributed are no less than forty kilograms, or even more."
Chu Jian and Sa Di Peng were happy to hear this, so they pestered the fat man to talk more.
Shirley Yang on the other side said to Hu Bayi with a slightly complaining tone: "You shouldn't take advantage of An Liman's faith and let him say those things. The reward I promised him is enough for the rest of his life. He hasn't taken it yet.
After receiving the reward, it is impossible to be willing to run away..."
Hu Bayi said: "Ms. Yang, just..."
Xiao Ran quickly touched Hu Bayi with his elbow. Hu Bayi responded and said: "You are right. I really don't understand your gods. I promise to respect personal beliefs in the future."
After hearing what he said, Shirley Yang smiled and nodded.
The distance from the mountain pass to Jingjue Ancient City is not that far. After walking for about ten minutes, everyone arrived at the gate of Jingjue Ancient City.
Xiao Ran looked back at the mountain pass. An Liman was checking the camels back and forth, while his second uncle was carrying a gun and trying to look in their direction.
Xiao Ran raised his arm and waved to his second uncle. The morning sun was not bright, but it was still somewhat dazzling when reflected by the yellow sand.
For a moment, he seemed to see a white shadow on the top of the hill above the mountain pass. He quickly put his hands down to cover his eyes and took a closer look, but the white shadow disappeared again.
Was he dazzled by the light? Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes and saw his second uncle waving at him.
"Xiaoran, look what this is!" Professor Chen suddenly called him excitedly.
He had no choice but to come to his senses. His second uncle was an old martial artist and his marksmanship was good, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Professor Chen pulled him to a stone tablet at the city gate, which was engraved with words he had never seen before.
"Have you ever seen this? Has there been any written record of this kind in Changfeng?" Professor Chen asked.
He didn't know whether Xiao Changfeng had recorded it or not. He had no choice but to put his hand on the stone tablet and feel the information on the stone tablet with his heart.
Although he didn't recognize the words, he vaguely heard some individual words, including cattle, sheep, camels, slaves, etc. Later, some words came floating around, such as hanging, beheading, heart-breaking, and hand-cutting.
, chop off feet, cut off ears, etc.
He had some inferences in his mind, and said embellished to Professor Chen: "I don't know the characters, but judging from the pattern and shape of this stele, it should record the laws of Jingjue City, including the regular tributes from surrounding small countries.
Livestock, number of slaves, how offenders are punished, etc.”
Professor Chen nodded repeatedly: "That's right. Countries in the ancient Western Regions and even West Asia had similar customs. They would erect monuments at the city gates and write down the laws of the city. As long as anyone enters the city, no matter whether you agree with these laws or not
, even whether you recognize the words on it or not, it means voluntarily abiding by the laws on the stone tablet. Once you break the law, you will be punished according to the regulations on the stone tablet, and you will not complain whether you live or die..."
When the fat man heard this, his face was full of disgust: "Isn't this a hooligan? If I don't know how to read and I'm a rough guy, I urinate everywhere in the city. It happens that the law stipulates that urinating anywhere will have to be beheaded. I still have to recognize it.
Already?"
Hearing what he said, Shirley Yang and Ye Yixin both frowned. Hu Bayi said: "Fat man, you are wrong to say that..."
"That's right! I don't think this is right either!"
Hu Bayi shook his head: "No, I mean you don't have to do it. You really don't know these words, and you are still a big man. You can defecate anywhere. Be careful when you enter the city later. Don't do it."
Queen Jingjue woke up..."
Everyone laughed, but looking at the Jingjue Ancient City in front of them, it was a bit disappointing. From a distance, the majestic Jingjue Ancient City, no matter how dominant it was in imagination, turned out to be ruins, broken bricks and tiles when viewed up close.
Only some of the originally larger houses had collapsed roofs and peeling paint on the walls, but their former glory could still be seen.
After Professor Chen and others recorded the stone tablet at the door, they hurried into the city to continue their inspection. Hu Bayi and Fatty took the lead, and Xiao Ran took the initiative to break up and walked at the back of the team.
When he stepped into the city gate, a gust of wind and sand blew by, and a sound like the friction of sand and stones suddenly came into his mind: "Everyone who enters the city is a slave of Queen Jingjue, and everything is the private property of Queen Jingjue...
"
He felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up. When he looked back, he saw waves of sand blowing across the Stone of Law at the door.
He quickly took out the yin-yang mirror and tied it right in front of his belt. Now that these artifacts have been silenced, he had to prepare in advance to avoid anything happening.
At this time, there was sufficient food and water, and the personnel were intact. Professor Chen looked at every house and wall with great interest, discussed with Hao Aiguo, and directed the students to take notes.
Seeing that there was no danger in the city for the time being, Professor Chen pulled Xiao Ran beside him, treating him as a member of the archaeological team and asking for his opinions from time to time.
Xiao Ran relied on his own touch to hear the sounds that had been near these buildings, and based on this, he "inferred" to the professor which ones were residential buildings and which ones might be shops. During the process, he couldn't help but sigh, how wonderful the ancient city was.
The level of civilization is very high, and there are even special public toilets...
He never thought that these thousand-year-old monuments, like the bottles and jars placed in the house, had their own voices.
"Have you seen any fat people? If you have personal problems, go here to solve them. Don't break the law." Hu Ba pointed at the public toilet and said.
The fat man looked at the public toilet that had been filled with sand to the roof, and curled his lips: "Then I will become Julien of Brussels..."
At this moment, a weak voice came from beside the fat man and reached Xiao Ran's ears.
