Chapter 1362 Snow Covered
Xiao Lanyuan and the others arrived at the place that Lan Rong mentioned, which was suspected to be the entrance.
There are a few small mounds and some rocks here.
Maybe it’s because of the age, and the soil is indeed fertile and there are many species, each mound is covered with plants of varying heights.
There are many different trees, and even flowering vines growing around the rocks, entangling them.
There are some deep ditches or pits, where a lot of mushrooms or plants of strange shapes grow.
They had been exploring here for several days and had trampled out a path.
"My Lord, this is it."
Lan Rong led them to a huge rock and earth slope.
"We saw a slope not far ahead. There were stones on the slope and several earth pits. After studying it, we suspected that these boulders rolled down from there and stopped here, blocking some soil. Over time, some trees and vines grew there."
Lan Rong pointed to the stone hillsides ahead and explained, "So we guess that this is where the city gate is blocked."
He gestured to the back and said, "This large area outside should be an open space or flat land, just outside the capital."
This area is still empty. Once it is leveled, the size of the capital can be seen.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at it carefully and felt that their speculation made sense.
"I'll go up and take a look."
He looked around, picked the highest point, stepped on his toes, and leaped high. After a few leaps, he reached the highest point of a big tree inside.
The branches on the treetops were thin and soft, and only someone with his lightness skills could stand firmly.
Standing here and looking forward, you can really see a group of pavilions and palaces. Moreover, the palaces are all hidden under the white snow. Even though the tall trees and dense bushes are covered with snow, you can still make out their general shapes.
A little further away, the tallest building looks like a clock tower.
You can also see the clock hanging high up.
There is also a four-pillar platform next to the bell tower.
It looks like it's completely intact.
And where they are now is the first floor of the city wall.
Looking inside, there is a second layer of city walls and towers.
Unexpectedly, the capital of Dongqing actually has double-layer city walls and towers.
Xiao Lanyuan leaped down from the tree.
"My Lord, how is it?"
"It is indeed the capital city, which is completely covered by snow. What is blocked here is the first tower. There is a second tower after entering. Gather all the manpower and dig this place open."
Now that it has been confirmed, they will of course start digging with all their might.
"It's not easy to dig this boulder, but Zhao Ning taught us how to make gunpowder." Shen Xuan came over, "Use gunpowder to blow it up, and it will be easier later."
"gunpowder?"
Xiao Lanyuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and discuss where to place the gunpowder."
They returned to the official inn and found that everything had been cleaned up.
It's ok to stay for a few days temporarily.
Xiao Lanyuan told Fu Zhaoning what he had seen, and Fu Zhaoning was also surprised.
"It seems that the palace is indeed in good condition. Once we enter the capital, there are probably many houses and shops that are also in good condition."
"If we use gunpowder, there will be a lot of noise. Do you want to avoid it first?" Xiao Lanyuan now thinks of Fu Zhaoning's health first when doing anything.
"It's okay. I'm not that fragile. At most I'll just cover my ears."
Fu Zhaoning originally wanted to go over and take a look, but when he heard him ask this, he knew it was impossible.
"Then we'll tell you after we decide on a time to use the gunpowder."
