If he loses the bet and encounters fierce resistance from the Shanshan royal family and the imperial guards, there is even a slight possibility of falling into a longer-lasting tug-of-war.

He will immediately choose to give up and never get ahead.

Then he decisively led the Hu soldiers to rush out of Jani City with the help of the deterrent effect of "black powder bombs", and quickly went to "Xiaowan State" which was not too far from Shanshan State for temporary refuge. They completed supplies there and prepared to explore the relationship between the Tomb of the Sun and the Tomb of the Sun.

matters.

As for carefully visiting Janni City, we can only wait until the matters related to the Tomb of the Sun are completed, and then look for an opportunity to see if we can enter in disguise.

But at this moment, Wu Liang didn't say much.

There is really no need to undermine everyone's morale at this time. As long as they can unconditionally obey his orders at the critical moment and advance when they need to, retreat when they need to, then nothing will go wrong.

As for the execution ability of the Hu army, Wu Liang is relatively confident.

…

Not long after, they arrived at the Janni City Palace without any hindrance.

The main entrance of the palace is a large stepped earth slope. The real palace theme was built in the middle of the large earth slope, and then a huge three-story earth building was built on the large earth slope as the foundation.

The waistline of the earth building is a bit high, and the only passage is a wooden door inlaid with many bronze rivets. The corners of the door are also wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, which looks relatively strong, and it is about three or four meters tall.

Only upward from the waistline are some neatly arranged windows.

The big slope in front of the palace...

This raised waistline...

These neat rows of windows look like a honeycomb...

"Isn't this just a small Potala Palace?"

Although Wu Liang was a little surprised by this, he didn't make a fuss.

Because as far as he knew, among the ruins of the ancient Loulan country discovered by later generations, there was also a discovery called the "Ruins of the Ancient City of Milan".

"The ruins of the ancient city of Milan" are recorded in the Han Dynasty. At this time, it should be called "Yixun City". It was an ancient border garrison castle built during the Western Han Dynasty when King Shanshan requested the Han Dynasty to come and garrison the army.

In the "Old City of Milan Ruins", there is a main building that is very similar to the Sanni City Palace in front of it, and it is also very similar to the Potala Palace.

Previously, Wu Liang saw the temple of the ancient Tibetan culture "Yongzhongben Sect" in Shanni City.

Now we see a palace similar to the Potala Palace here, which shows that ancient Tibetan culture has already had a certain degree of radiation on the ancient Silk Road, at least on the Shanshan Kingdom. This is naturally an archaeological discovery worth recording for Wu Liang.

.

besides.

This is indeed a fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack...

Moreover, some of the escaped defenders should have come back to report the news. At this moment, at least a hundred soldiers with better armor and weapons have gathered outside the palace, maintaining a defensive formation and waiting.

Seeing Wu Liang and others arriving at the foot of the big slope, the soldiers immediately became nervous and pointed their spears and weapons at them.

"Dian Wei, with your arm strength, it shouldn't be a problem to throw this thing up, right? Let them set off a fireworks first."

Wu Liang felt that these guards and soldiers must have heard about his "power to destroy the world", so he did not hide it, and immediately turned back to Dian Wei and said.

In his view, this was a "military exercise."

If the display of his own force can scare these guards and make them surrender without a fight, that would naturally be in line with Wu Liang's idea.

"promise!"

Dian Wei was not hesitant and immediately picked up a slightly larger iron can from the carriage, burned it lightly on the torch and ignited the linen cloth soaked in kerosene on top.

Then he held the can with both hands and spun around violently. After two turns, the iron can suddenly shot out, drawing a beautiful arc and flying straight towards the guards at the palace gate.

"Yes!"

Wu Liang clapped his hands and praised as if he were watching basketball.

But at this moment.

The guards and soldiers surrounding the door suddenly dispersed to both sides, and then a bald old man wearing light gray plain clothes walked out of the crowd unhurriedly.
