Epang Palace is dilapidated and forbidding, with pieces of rammed earth standing upright, showing a incomplete beauty against the hazy backdrop.
If you look down from the sky, you will see a massive project with an extremely majestic shape. The front hall alone may be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
This does not include several halls and side halls.
Throughout history, there are many introductions to Afang Palace, but none of them can tell its purpose and Qin Shihuang's intentions.
Some people say that Qin Shihuang built it for Afang to express his longing for Afang, but others say that he wanted to build his own temple to prepare for his becoming a god.
This is not aimless.
Judging from the overall structure, if it is built, it will definitely be a paradise that the world will look up to.
The Weishui River was used to simulate the Milky Way in the sky, and the palace was set up according to the ranking of the purple stars. Perhaps he was trying to build a temple in the sky on earth to show the emperor's honor, the solemnity of the imperial power, and to regain his former ambition.
In fact, this is not unreasonable. Qin Shihuang was obsessed with immortality, and in the mythology at that time, gods could be immortal. Naturally, he imagined himself as a god and built the palace into a temple.
But, in any case, this is just speculation. No one can say exactly why Afang Palace was built.
Whether it was for Afang or Shenmeng, it is all in vain now. All of it has become a waste site during the slow construction.
Hazy, still, drizzle, drifting.
On the rammed soil, white flowers spread, blooming with a sense of solemnity and dignity.
Covered for more than three hundred miles, separated from the sky and the sun, there are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine palaces. The palaces are composed of twists and turns, making people feel lost.
In one place, there were ruins on all sides, with mud splashing all around, and it looked like a panic. In the panic, a rock pressed against it, like a chasm or a cliff, standing alone in a corner.
What no one knows is that on top of the rock, the weather changes from time to time, making it dark, obscure, and extremely strange.
Underneath, white flowers are covered, like dust, like mist, like waves, flowing, but no one appreciates them.
A few miles away from the rock, in a somewhat rudimentary palace, there were several people walking around. Among them was a man who was tied up extremely tightly, even his mouth was sealed tightly, while a man bundled in linen appeared to be an elegant man. He stood beside it and looked at him with a gloomy expression.
This person is Shangguan, and the kidnapped person is Li Zhao.
Yin Man was right, Li Zhao was kidnapped here by Shangguan, and Shangguan chose to imprison Li Zhao here because of Li Jinong's thoughts.
This is the unbuilt palace of the emperor, which always represents the majesty of the royal family. Even if someone suspects this, no one dares to enter.
It's a pity that Shangguan thought wrong. He didn't expect that the emperor's daughter would be here, and he didn't expect that the head of Guizhou would be moved by Li Zhao and come here without fear of death.
"Shangguan, when I got up this morning, I noticed something was wrong. There are many white flowers here."
One of the retinue reported strangely.
Shangguan glanced around and saw white flowers under the wall. The flowers were fresh and tender, as if they had just grown out of the soil. But what was strange was that the white flowers were very unusual. They were flowers without leaves.
However, Shangguan, who had seen so many white flowers, didn't care. He was tired after a night of running, so he ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on Li Zhao and went to find a place to rest alone.
After seeing Shangguan leave, the servants felt bored, and of course more frightened. It was actually a gloomy place that made people think of ghosts, so they also found a place and took a nap, leaving Li Zhao alone to stare at the little ones. Eye.
But at this moment, there was a cry of killing outside the palace, and then footsteps rushed in, which came very unexpectedly.
The servants who were taking a nap suddenly woke up when they heard this, but they didn't know what happened. When they looked up at the entrance, they found dozens of Guizhou heads. They came without any warning, as if they appeared out of thin air. The servants were frightened. After that, he immediately drew his sword, but the number of Guizhou soldiers was getting more and more, ten times their number, and they all carried sticks in their hands, which was really scary.
"Inform your superior immediately."
Of course, this was their response, and they hurriedly retreated soon after.
The chief of Guizhou's purpose was to rescue Li Zhao. When he saw the tied man, he did not chase his followers and let them disappear before his eyes.
The shrewd Guizhou leader had a guess in his mind, so he immediately rushed to Li Zhao, took away the coarse cloth from Li Zhao's mouth, followed the etiquette of the scholars, bowed his hands and asked, "Is this Master Li Zhao?"
It must be said that he is also a cautious person.
Li Zhao was also surprised that someone would come here to save him, but it was really uncomfortable here, so he nodded slightly.
The shrewd Qian Shou hurriedly stepped forward to untie him, his posture becoming more and more respectful: "Master, I found you. Those bastards deserved it for bringing you here."
Soon, Li Zhao was untied and free. Looking at the dozens of Guizhou heads, there seemed to be more coming here. He was a little surprised. He didn't know how these Guizhou heads found their way here, but it was not the case at the moment. When thinking about this, Shangguan is not here at the moment. He must have known that someone is coming to save him, and there are so many people who are as smart as him and they will definitely not show up again.
I'm afraid he will slip away. This person knows the whereabouts of my mother, so I can't let him slip away.
Then he shouted: "Follow me and capture the thief."
Regardless of his physical fatigue, he jumped up and headed in the direction where Shangguan had walked. Qian Shou followed closely, but after searching the entire hall, Shangguan and the others could not be found, and he was anxious for a moment.
He is someone who has read the Fu of Afang Palace and knows that Afang Palace is huge and there are so many palaces. Even if it has not been completed yet, it is difficult to find someone like this incomplete body.
"Everyone spread out and search from hall to hall. If you find something, shout immediately and don't let the thieves take advantage of it."
Everyone agreed and immediately dispersed.
Soon, there were only a few people left in the hall. These were the people who stayed to protect Li Zhao. They were very vigilant and kept looking around, doing their best to protect Li Zhao.
Li Zhao was surprised. These people were obviously leaders of Guizhou. They were against Shanglinyuan a moment ago, but now they became so kind-hearted. Of course, he soon thought of the key point. It must have been the employment system that made them change their gender!
There was just one thing he couldn't figure out. There were countless palaces in Afang Palace, and this place was located deep inside. How did they find it?
"Is there anyone else here to lead you?"
He asked the person next to him, who was the shrewd Qian Shou.
"Go back, young master!" He also imitated the way people from Shanglinyuan called him, "It's the princess who brought you here."
"Princess, this is Princess Yangzi."
Li Zhao screamed. The one who came for him must be Yinman. The other princesses were not familiar with him at all.
"Exactly!" Jing Mingqian answered. When he came just now, Yin Man had already explained his identity to them.
"Where is she?"
Li Zhao's heart was touched.
"She's here." Shrewd Guizhou pointed behind him subconsciously, but when he turned around, he found that the princess was no longer there. "Hey! She was there just now. It was the princess who brought us here."
He scratched his head and said, "Will you go looking for the thief with others?"
Li Zhao did not answer, but his eyes became deep.
Two possibilities emerged in her mind. One, Yin Man didn't want to see her and avoided it. Two, someone kidnapped her. As for following the crowd to find the thief, it was unlikely. She came here to see herself, not Shangguan and others. .
If it's the first type, that's fine, but if it's the second type, it's a big problem.
At this moment, Li Zhao couldn't care about how many kinds. No matter which kind it was, he had to find Yin Man, and he had to find her now. If it was the second kind, the problem would be big. It was probably Shangguan's doing, Shangguan's. Insidious, it is possible to do anything to Yin Man.
"Shangguan, it's better not to be you, otherwise I will cut you into pieces."
Unknowingly, he became anxious, thinking that his love for Yinman was slowly fading away, but now that he learned the news about her, it suddenly emerged.
In fact, it's not that I'm indifferent, I just hide it deep in my heart and don't want to mention it.
"What's your name?"
Li Zhao asked the shrewd Qian Shou.
The shrewd Guizhou leader felt secretly happy and immediately responded: "The villain Zhang Hanlin."
Zhang Hanlin?
Li Zhao was slightly startled, as if he had heard this name before, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it or seen it before, but he definitely didn't hear it in Da Qin, it seemed like it was in a previous life.
Maybe it was because the name wasn't well-known and he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Han Lin, you immediately call everyone to look for the princess. Don't let anything happen to the princess."
At this moment, it is more important to find the princess. As for Shangguan, you can let it go.
Zhang Hanlin also realized that the matter was serious and went immediately.
Li Zhao's heart was not calm. He was pacing back and forth in the hall, and Yin Man's figure often appeared, making him even more anxious.
"Yinman, why are you so stupid? This is not a peaceful place, why do you come here? You have already been stupid once, why do you need to be stupid a second time?"
"Nothing can happen to you!"
While I was talking to myself, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a patch of white on the ground. It was so pure, natural, and so kind.
"White flowers! It's dark here, how can there be white flowers?"
"There's more over there."
Looking at the white flower, I spotted another one in the corner of my eye. They were lined up like guards, facing the breeze and extending outward.
