After the Turkic royal court was burned, all the clues were broken, and everyone lost their direction for a while. I had to temporarily camp nearby, one was to rest, the second was to discuss, and the third was to try my luck to see if anyone could pass by.

I waited for three days, but no one passed by. Shantong was in a hurry, and said to Shanwudao: "How is this good?" Shanwudao: "I don't know either." Lord Lou Zhuang said that the goal of the people of Baiyun Villa was the royal tomb of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, but we didn't know where the royal tomb was!" Lou Xu said: "I don't know either. But I guess it's through the vast grassland. Lou Kong said: "Big brother, if the team wants to cross the grassland, it must require a lot of capacity." Lou Xu said: "That's true. Just ......."

Lou Xuan stopped suddenly, and then said excitedly: "I have a clue." Third brother, do you know who the largest transportation capacity merchant in the vicinity is?" Lou Zang said: "You mean, they will definitely buy a lot of transportation capacity to carry a large amount of materials?" Lou Xuan said: "That's right! As long as you find this merchant, you will definitely know where they are trading, then you will know where they started from." We can follow the trail!"

Zhide said: "In that case, let's go." Lou Zang said: "I know where it is." ”

Lou Zang led the people back to the territory of the Hui people, and at the border between the Turks and the Uighur forces, Lou Zang said that he knew a merchant who was there. It took them five days to get there.

As soon as Lou Zang entered the door, he found that the situation was not right, as if it had been ransacked. Are we too late?

The people who were full of hope fell to the ice valley at once! But the people did not give up, and continued to search, but found that they still found nothing.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Master Zhide suddenly said: "What we can find, Lou Fan must know." He also knew that we would come to his aid, and that we would definitely leave us with clues. Since there is no one here, then let's go find the place where the dead are buried in Baiyun Villa!"

As soon as the people heard this, they looked around for possible places. It's not a long time, and it's still being found. I saw a place with a large amount of new earth, not far from the merchant's tent. After everyone gathered, they all felt the smell of blood here. Presumably there was serious bloodshed here.

On top of the mound, Zenai found a stone, picked it up, and found that someone had carved an arrow symbol on the stone! Zenai said loudly, "There is a clue here!" Everyone was overjoyed when they saw it. Lou Xu took the stone, looked at it carefully, and measured the length of the arrow by the way. Zhide said: "Then let's go." ”

So they went down to the mound and went back to look for their horses. Lou Zang, who walked at the end, looked at the soles of Shantong's back, and then looked at his own soles. I found that the soles of my shoes were already stained red with blood, and they were also soaked in them. Lou Zangxin said: Baiyun Villa has created another murder!

After finding the horses, everyone changed their shoes one by one. Only then did it follow the mark of the arrow.

Along the way, Lou Zang was at the forefront. First, he is most familiar with the geography of the Western Regions, and second, he is proficient in the languages of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions.

It's just that along the way, Lou Zang's linguistic talent has not been brought into full play! After ten days of walking, they have reached the border of the grassland. Lou Zang said: "Everyone, if you go ten miles further, there will be a desert on the opposite side." Zhide said: "Has Third Master Lou been to the desert?" Lou Zang said: "I don't." Ethnic minorities are rarely able to cross the desert area, and very few of us Han people have been able to successfully cross it. Lou Xu said: "Very few Han people. Does the third brother know who it is?" Lou Zang said: "There are two squads of the personal guards of General Geng Biao of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate who are responsible for surveying the geographical situation in the Western Regions all year round. The Han people in this world, only they can have this ability. ”

Shantong said: "I know this, my apprentices Yang Yi and Lou Shaoxia were once the captains of these two teams. It's a pity that Yang Yi is not here. Zhou Xun, the master of Baiyun Temple, said: "There is no way to be endless. Since both Lou Fan and Yang Yi had crossed the desert beforehand, they would naturally know the danger of crossing the desert. With Lou Fan's ability, he will definitely be prepared. We searched carefully along the border line, and we will definitely find something. ”

Everyone thought that there was only one way, so they lined up, separated by hundreds of meters, and searched along the boundary line. Although this area is only the boundary between the desert and the grassland, it is still extremely windy and sandy, and everyone is soon blown away by the wind and sand, and has to retreat.

Everyone had no plan for the time being, so they had to light a fire and rest together. Suddenly, Zhou Xun said: "Everyone, Lou Fan knows that we will come to support him, and he also knows that we can't cross the desert. What would you do if you were Lou Fan?"

"If I were Lou Fan, I would definitely leave a mark and give us a new direction." Shantong said: "Shanwu monk, you have forgotten my nephew Lou Fan who made the army." He doesn't think the same way as you and mine. Shanwudao: "Then what will Lou Fan think?" Shantong said: "He will treat this as a war." ”

Lou Zang said: "Good heroes also served in the army in the northwest back then, so they naturally know more about the military than us. Please also ask the hero for some advice. Shantong turned his back to Lou Zang and arched his hand and said: "Now Lou Fan is facing a situation that he has mastered the enemy's things, but the information cannot be effectively transmitted to the large army. At the same time, no one in the large army had experience of passing through the desert. If I were Lou Fan, the most appropriate way at this time would be to stop and wait for the army!"

As soon as Shantong's voice fell, he heard someone coming in the distance. When Zhide and Zhou Xun heard this, they both looked at each other, and they both knew very well what each other was thinking. This person's martial arts are too high, and this body method is too fast, so that both of them have coincidentally carried enough smoke and waves of vast skills!

Just waited until the man was close, Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Apprentice, the analysis is good." Lou Fan is here. As soon as the words fell, Lou Fan came closer.

As soon as Lou Fan saw everyone, he put away the measuring ruler and saluted everyone one by one. Lou Xu said: "Child, what's the situation?" Lou Fan said: "Father, seniors, Baiyun Villa and Wen Xin have already entered the desert two days ago. The disciples are worried that you will not be able to pass, so they are waiting for you here. ”

Zhide said: "I'm afraid you don't just wait for us here. Lou Fan said with a smile: "The master is really a master outside the world, and he can see it at once." I found a caravan nearby and bought their camels and supplies at a high price. Lou Zang said: "Where did you get the money?" Zhou Xun smiled: "The money of Baiyun Villa." Lou Fan said: "That's right. The disciples have blended into their team these days, and although they can't save people, they can still get some gold. ”
