Regardless of whether this Princess Wen Cheng was real or not, and regardless of whether there was a deeper meaning behind the title conferred by Li Shimin, there was no need to delve into these academic questions. Their top priority now was to activate the formation in the carriage. Fatty and Zhou both said that it would take them about 12 hours to complete it.
Then, at least for the next half of the day, the four of them would be trapped in this narrow space without any food or drink. Fortunately, even if half a day without food or drink was not a problem for ordinary people, it was not a problem for the four experienced listeners.
The two guys who were obsessed with formations were fully immersed in exploring and familiarizing themselves with formations. Thinking about it, after this incident, their understanding and attainments in formations would definitely rise to another level. This could also be considered as an opportunity for them.
Su Bai climbed out of the window, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit one. The air in the narrow space would definitely become more turbid.
After a while, another person climbed out of the window. It was the old listener.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a cigarette? I've been craving it for a long time." The old listener laughed.
Su Bai handed him a cigarette and threw a lighter to him.
"Phew …" The old listener blew out a smoke ring and asked with a satisfied face, "Young friend, what's your name?"
"Su Bai."
There was no need to hide this. Although Su Bai did not like to socialize with the listeners like Fatso, since he had been in the audience for so long, there must be many people who knew his identity. As long as the old listener could go out, he could casually ask about Su Bai's appearance and enhancement, and then he would be able to ask Su Bai's identity.
"Haha, young friend Su Bai, my surname is Shen, Shen Wen."
Su Bai nodded, but he really had no intention of chatting now. Old Shen gave people a very gloomy feeling, which made him not feel very cold. Old Shen was either like the monk, who clearly said, "Don't give me a chance. If I have the chance, I will trick you," or like the fatty, who said, "Don't look at me as a coward. Even my father is afraid of me. These two kinds of people were more comfortable to interact with.
Old Shen was between the monk and Fatso, with a slightly pedantic feeling, which was what Su Bai was most annoyed with.
"Su Bai, do you already know something? Can you share it with me?"
Old Shen made his intentions clear. Whether it was Su Bai asking him to summon the souls of the Qin army, or Su Bai's certainty that the Qin soldiers could withstand the collapsing rocks, it showed that he already knew the unimaginable secrets of the Qin Dynasty.
Admittedly, the former was indeed because Su Bai already knew something about the Qin Dynasty. However, the latter was not because Su Bai had planned it out, but because he had been suppressing his anger, and when he happened to meet the black man, Klaus, who threatened him, he simply took it head-on. However, Old Shen was not Fatso or the monk. Even if he were to tell him the truth, he would not believe that there was a mental patient among the audience, much less a mental patient who could become a powerful and experienced listener.
"No comment." Su Bai smoked as he looked at the Qin soldiers in front of him. At the same time, he reached out to touch them.
The Chinese had always paid attention to the dead. What Su Bai did was a little disrespectful, but Su Bai did not think much of it.
"I can use other things to exchange information with you," Old Shen said.
"I don't care." Su Bai refused. Regarding the First Emperor, Su Bai and the other three had promised not to tell anyone.
"This is really like seeing a treasure mountain but not being able to enter. It's really annoying," Old Shen said with a bitter smile.
Su Bai reached out and tried to remove the armor of a Qin soldier in front of him.
This was almost Su Bai's style of doing things. In every story world, when he saw a dead listener, Su Bai would go over and search to see if there was anything valuable left.
However, when Su Bai finally removed a breastplate from the Qin soldier's body, the breastplate suddenly became extremely broken. It lost all its luster, as if it had become a pile of scrap metal.
"Come to think of it, during the last battle, these Qin soldiers had already exhausted everything. Look at the weapons and equipment on the ground. If they were at their peak, they should all be high-grade magic artifacts. But now, they have all become scrap metal," Old Shen said. "It's better to let him wear it back. It's cold outside. Even a dead person would feel cold if they don't wear clothes."
Su Bai felt a little strange. Could it be that this Old Shen's hipster disease was acting up? Did he still care about whether these soldiers were cold or not?
Of course, Su Bai did have a sense of respect for these Qin soldiers. Since these armors were useless, it was better to let him wear it back.
After putting the breastplate back on the soldier, Su Bai patted his hands. There were still more than ten hours of waiting time. It was really boring.
Moreover, it was like sleeping in a crowded train. The height was too low. He couldn't even stand straight. He could only squat with difficulty.
"How old are you?" Old Shen suddenly asked.
"Do you have a daughter that you want to introduce to me?" Su Bai asked in return.
"Hehe, how is that possible? People like us are actually punished by heaven. There's no need to harm others," Old Shen said with a sigh.
Su Bai took out his phone. Unfortunately, there was no signal in this place. Su Bai took out his phone and turned it in his hand.
"You weren't invited to Tibet, right?" Old Shen asked.
Su Bai didn't answer. This old man really talked a lot.
Old Shen placed his ruler flat on the ground, and the ruler slowly floated up by itself.
"Actually, I'm really afraid of being alone or staying in a narrow space because it makes me feel suffocated. It makes me feel very uncomfortable. So, if you're willing to talk to me, I'll be very grateful."
"Die for me to see," Su Bai teased.
Old Shen didn't think much of it. "Looking at your age, are you a university student?"
Su Bai nodded.
"Sometimes, I really envy my previous life." Old Man Shen had a nostalgic look on his face. "Although I've always complained about the unfairness of this society, always competing with others, always stepping on others or being stepped on by others, compared to now, it's like a child playing house. I only think it's very interesting."
Su Bai didn't listen to the old man's sentiments seriously. His gaze was slowly attracted by a piece of crystal in the crack of the rock in front of him. He slowly got up and squatted over.
Old Shen was still reminiscing, so he didn't notice what Su Bai was doing.
The crystal was a pearl, but it wasn't as smooth as a pearl. It looked a little like a jade, but it wasn't as clear as jade. If he had to find something similar, it would be the beads on the bracelets and souvenirs sold in Yiwu. Usually, they could be bought in the so-called ancient towns at an extremely low price.
Su Bai held the bead in his hand. He didn't feel anything, and he didn't feel anything strange about it. Wasn't this something that had always been here? Was it an ornament on the clothes of Klaus, the lama, and the dead listeners?
Just when Su Bai was thinking about this, Fatso's voice came from the carriage. "Da Bai, come here."
Su Bai put the bead in his pocket and squatted over to the carriage. Old Shen got up and followed Su Bai to the carriage.
Su Bai didn't rush into the carriage through the window. Instead, he leaned against the window and looked inside. "What's wrong?"
At this time, the young man with the surname Zhou and Fatso placed many chess pieces and small flags at the bottom of the carriage. Obviously, the two of them were using their own methods and routines to familiarize themselves with this array.
"Da Bai, I found something," said Fatso.
"Don't we need twelve hours? We can teleport immediately?" asked Su Bai. It was really boring to stay in this place for too long.
"No, we've been deducing for almost two hours. Although we're still far from being able to activate this array, we have some understanding and familiarity with this array.
Now, the two of us can unanimously conclude that this array has never been activated. This is an array that hasn't been used since it was set up. It's a virgin array. "Fatso looked at Su Bai and said very seriously.
Su Bai immediately understood what Fatso meant. If this array had never been activated, then the princess definitely wouldn't have been teleported out. Then, it was very likely that she would be fighting to the death with the two hundred Qin soldiers around her.
However, there were only corpses of the Qin soldiers nearby. There was no corpse of the princess, not even a woman.
"Could it be that he has been captured?" Su Bai guessed. "After all, in ancient times, capturing someone else's general alive, and that Jiang Jun was a woman, was very attractive in terms of battle results and morale."
Fatty spat out a mouthful of turbid air and nodded. "I think so too. That princess should have been taken away. Otherwise … Hehe."
"Don't scare yourself," Su Bai said.
"It's obvious that the princess wasn't teleported away because the last sentence and the signature on the wall of the carriage showed the urgency of the situation. Between the lines, you can also feel the conviction of fighting to the death.
Coupled with the pride of the Qin people and the conviction of being a noble, when she wrote these words, she must have thought that she would die in battle here. Even if the enemy had captured her, they would only have captured her corpse. It's impossible for them to capture her alive. "
The ruler's light appeared and shone on Old Shen's face. He was still studying the words on the wall of the carriage, and he seemed to be immersed in it.
"F * ck, old man. Can you go out of the carriage like Da Bai to smoke and walk around? Give us more space to set up the array? You've been mumbling your words in the carriage. It's really annoying, "Fatso complained.
When Fatso said this, he didn't notice that Su Bai, who was leaning against the carriage window, had an ugly expression on his face.
