Chapter 151 The Palace of the Palace

Zumureti and Hadili are loving husband and wife, have a deep relationship, and have the same mind. Zumureti even developed a derivative skill of his telepathy that has never appeared before.

His minds are connected and we will always be of the same mind.

Even though they are thousands of miles apart, a pair of lovers who have always been united can still connect with each other. If it weren't for the fact that this operation was too important, requiring both parties to cooperate and seize the opportunity, and Zumureti insisted on helping him share the pressure,

Only then did Hadili agree that Zumureti would join the operation and become the liaison officer for both parties.

This was not the first time that Zeluo came to Jingjue City to transport supplies. He did not need anyone else to lead the way. He transported the ordnance to Jingjue's arsenal with ease and familiarity. There were more than 5,000 of them, but there was no one there.

Monitor.

Even when the people in Jingjue saw such an army entering, some children were curious, others were indifferent, and even idlers were watching the excitement... There were all kinds of postures, but there was no fear or fear.

In addition to the fact that at this time, Jingjue’s unparalleled alien army is stationed in Jingjue City,

The biggest reason why the people of Jingjue feel so at ease is because of the invincible Queen Jingjue within the scope of the ghost cave.

······

On the other side, Zhang Qian and others, led by Xu Da, passed through the main road of Jingjue City. The people in Jingjue City walked out of their homes one after another, watching the excitement, pointing at them, talking and laughing,

It's like watching a circus from afar.

Hu Xiuwu was vaguely familiar with this scene. He seemed to have seen it somewhere.

By the way, in Pei Min's memory, when he was young, when Tang Xuanzong had just ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, and the people of Chang'an also looked at the prosperous and spectacular Chang'an with such a sense of superiority.

The envoys from Xiongcheng were shocked and laughed at them for not having seen the world.

These people have ruddy faces, bright clothes, and various shops on the streets. It is obvious at a glance that the people in this exquisite city are living a good life.

It is not without reason that the people of Jingjue Kingdom love Queen Jingjue, and it is natural for the people of other countries in the Western Region to resent Queen Jingjue. After all, the paradise-like life in Jingjue City is based on their pain.

Among a group of glamorous Jingjue people, Hu Xiuwu keenly discovered a few people who had shabby clothes and dark and rough skin compared to the Jingjue people.

They were the Yanqi people who came to Jingjue Country before them.

After these Yanqi people saw Zhang Qian and Hu Xiuwu, they did not communicate with them. They quietly left the crowd and disappeared into the crowd.

Hu Xiuwu turned his head as if nothing had happened and stopped paying attention to them.

Jingjue City is not big, and the streets are naturally not as long as Chang'an. In just a cup of tea, Suda had already brought them to the Jingjue Palace.

The regulations of the Jingjue Palace are completely different from those of the Central Plains Palace, and can even be said to be contrary to each other.

Normally, royal palaces are built on high places in the center of the city to show the emperor's superior status and majesty. However, although the Jingjue Palace is also located in the center of Jingjue City, its location is the lowest in the entire city.

.

Moreover, the construction style of Jingjue Palace is also very strange. Not only is it completely different from that of China, but it is also a lot stranger than the Qiuci Palace.

The entire Jingjue Palace resembles a Mayan pyramid, seven stories high, and each layer is painted with stone murals.

The bottom of the tower is painted with a group of black snakes like a tide. Above the black snakes are sculptures of slaves, and above that are the elite citizens, then the giant-eyed figures, and the snake-bodied patron saint. On the top of the tower,

What stands above all things is a huge stone sculpture in the shape of an eyeball.

Although the styles are different, they all have the same exquisite and gorgeous style, and the carving level is also master-level. Each stone carving is lifelike, especially the stone eyeball on the top of the tower. You can feel it looking at it in every corner of the city.

You, as if it has been monitoring this world from eternity, seem a bit scary.

Jingjue Palace is said to be a palace, but it is more like a temple. But there is no doubt that this palace can definitely be called a wonder in the world. Although it cannot be compared with the Changle Palace of the Han Dynasty in terms of scale, this palace

The level of luxury reflected in the details is even better than that of Changle Palace.

Hu Xiuwu glanced at the big eye on the top of the tower and determined that this was the entrance to the ghost cave that Hu Bayi and the others called. A thought suddenly came to his mind:

Professor Chen thinks this is the Jingjue Altar Temple, but it is actually the Jingjue Palace. Does this count as solving a historical mystery?

The shock at the Jingjue Palace on the faces of Zhang Qian and everyone in the envoy gave Xuda a great sense of pride. He introduced Zhang Qian with a proud tone:

"Everyone, this is the palace where our great Queen Jingjue lives. I wonder if the palace of the Han Dynasty King can be so grand."

Tang Yi's father translated it to Zhang Qian intact, and Zhang Qian sneered:

"The Weiyang Palace of my great Han Dynasty is so big that it can accommodate all four seasons. From inside the palace, you can see the rising sun and the setting moon at the same time."

As an envoy, regardless of other abilities, he must have the best tongue. He must not fall into the trap of other countries' words, but he must also maintain his country's face in front of other countries and show his magnanimity.

The connection between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty has long been blocked by the Huns. Now the people of the Western Regions can only get a fragmentary description of the Han Dynasty from the merchants who were lucky enough to escape the Huns' blockade and come to the Western Regions.

No matter what they think in their hearts, few people will speak ill of their own country in front of people from other countries. They usually talk about how good they are, how good they are, and how strong they are.

Xu Da, who had heard other businessmen from the Han Dynasty give obviously distorted descriptions of the Han Dynasty, actually believed Zhang Qian's words.

He actually believed that a strong man could build a palace that covered day and night.

Xu Da suddenly became humble and said to Zhang Qian with a longing expression: "I really want to see that magnificent palace."

But Zhang Qian couldn't handle it.

It's just bragging, why do you take it seriously? Is there something wrong with your brain?

After a second thought, Zhang Qian immediately said with a caring tone for the patient: "Are we going to see Her Majesty the Queen?"

Tang Yi's father rolled his eyes, barely keeping his expression expressionless, and translated Zhang Qian's words to Suda.

"Oh, of course, I was rude." Xuda suddenly came to his senses and said apologetically to Zhang Qian.

"Everyone, please follow me."

The moment before entering the palace, Hu Xiuwu glanced at the outer statue and suddenly discovered something.

It turned out that the black snake sculpture he made was actually a genuine snake, a tide of snakes composed of Jingjian Agama snakes. However, these snakes seemed to be hibernating, crawling motionless at the bottom of the palace. Only then did he realize that

When he first looked at it from a distance, he mistakenly thought it was a sculpture.

Ten thousand snakes guard the Jingjue Palace. This is the first layer of protection for the Jingjue Palace.

The interior of Jingjue Palace maintains the same style as the outside, with respect for gods and distant people, and a strong atmosphere of sacrifice. In the center of the first floor hall of the palace is a large altar.

There are stone pillars all over the outside of the altar. Like the outside, it is also divided into multiple layers and has a strict hierarchy.

Fortunately, I don't know if it was not time yet or because the Han envoys were coming, so the surrounding stone pillars were not covered with mummies as Hu Bayi said.

Suda did not lead them upward, but instead led them all the way down the stairs. Hu Xiuwu could even feel the moist moisture coming from the air.

Are you going to meet them at the Ghost Cave?

The path they were taking now was exactly the same as the way Hu Bayi once described to the Ghost Cave. He originally thought that the platform above the Ghost Cave was specially made to place the coffin of Queen Jingjue.

Hu Bayi and the others also suspected the same thing. Now it seems that the platform was the place where Queen Jingjue held a sacrificial ceremony and met with the ministers of Jingjue.

Hey, another historical mystery I solved.

Hu Xiuwu amused himself in his heart.

All the way down along the circular stairs along the stone wall, and after crossing the stone bridge, a strong wind with strong wind blew towards Hu Xiuwu from the deep cave at the other end of the stone bridge.

Roar!!

A roar of a strange beast came from the other end of the cave. There was anger hidden in the roar, making the entire underground cave tremble. It seemed that something was extremely angry at Hu Xiuwu's arrival.
