Chapter 1566: Muhammad Caravan
Chapter 1566 Muhammad Caravan
With Bi Fang as a mount, the huge Qilin Desert is just a touch of scenery under his feet, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the edge of the desert, and Mu Lan, who was familiar with the ground, hurriedly said: "This place is less than a hundred miles away from the Peacock Ancient City, and if you fly down, you will definitely be discovered." ”
Chen Jiahao patted Bi Fang's head in the middle, and said lazily: "Did you hear it, hurry up and go down." ”
Bi Fang snorted angrily, but still obediently landed on the ground, and his figure had turned into a parrot-sized fiery red bird in a flash, and there was only one head left, which looked no different from ordinary birds.
Bi Fang chirped and landed on Mu Lan's shoulder, combing the feathers on his wings while saying, "Since I can't show my face, then don't come to me if you have any trouble, I'll be my mascot with peace of mind." ”
The corners of Chen Jiahao's mouth couldn't help but show a treacherous smile, although Bi Fang said that he would not help, but if Mu Lan encountered any trouble, Bi Fang could really look at it?
The distance of 100 miles is difficult to walk in a day if you are in a sea of sand, but since you have come to the edge of the desert, the sand on the ground is not so deep, so it is not particularly difficult to walk.
From the morning to the evening, the outline of the Peacock Ancient City in the distance has appeared hazy in front of several people, at this time a wolf smoke rushed from a distance, and after a while, a dozen cavalry came to the four people, and the leader of a cavalry squad wearing armor and a wisp of feathers on his helmet glared at the four people and asked sharply: "Who are you?" ”
Mu Lan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "This sir, we are members of the Mu clan's caravan, and we just ran into sand thieves in the desert and escaped by luck. ”
"Muhammad's caravan?" The cavalry squad leader raised his eyebrows, looked at Mu Lan carefully, his eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately pretended to say, "I didn't hear from the people of the Mu caravan that some of them were robbed by sand thieves, are you lying?" Hmph, the sand thieves have been becoming more and more rampant recently, whether you are the spies sent into the Peacock Ancient City by the sand bandits, you have to check carefully! ”
Mu Lan's face couldn't help but show a wry smile, how could she not hear the pretense of the cavalry squad leader? Normally, the easiest way in this situation is to stuff a few taels of silver into the cavalry squad leader, but all her belongings have been robbed by sand thieves, where is the silver to bribe this cavalry squad leader?
However, Chen Jiahao was also shrewd, knowing that the cavalry squad leader was going to take the opportunity to ask for bribes, so Chen Jiahao took out a small gold bar the size of a finger from the space magic weapon, sneaked it up and stuffed it into the hands of the cavalry squad leader, and said with a smile: "This lord, we are all merchants of the Peacock Ancient City, how dare we be involved with those outlaw sand thieves!" ”
After weighing it gently, the cavalry squad leader felt a little light at first, and secretly scolded Chen Jiahao for being stingy, but after a sneak look, he found that Chen Jiahao gave him a piece of gold, and immediately the attitude of the cavalry squad leader changed three hundred and sixty degrees, and he said with a smile on his face: "Well, it seems that you are indeed not spies of sand thieves!" Hurry up and get into the city, or when the gates are closed, you'll have to stay out all night." ”
After Mu Lan thanked him a few words, he raised his feet and planned to continue walking in the direction of the Peacock Ancient City, when the cavalry squad leader suddenly came to her side, lowered his voice and said: "If you are really a member of the Mu caravan, then I advise you to take a look at the situation first, the Mu caravan is a bit chaotic these days!" ”
Mu Lan's eyes lit up immediately, she immediately remembered that she had inexplicably encountered a sand thief in the desert, it seemed that someone was secretly dealing with her, she bowed deeply to the cavalry squad leader and said: "Thank you for your great grace, when I go back, I will definitely thank you!" ”
The cavalry captain smiled with satisfaction, then pulled the reins of his horse and sailed away with his men.
"What are you going to do now?" Chen Jiahao looked at Mu Lan and asked, "If someone is really calculating you, I'm afraid you will be discovered as soon as you enter the city, do you plan to observe the situation outside the city now, or go directly to the city?" ”
Mu Lan said without hesitation: "Of course, I entered the city immediately!" Although I don't know who is secretly calculating me, but every second of delay will make the Mu Chamber of Commerce more dangerous, and the best way at present is to enter the city immediately. ”
Seeing the move, it is easy to say, but whether it can be done depends on Mu Lan's own ability. So before it was completely dark, a group of four people hurriedly entered the Peacock Ancient City.
Peacock Ancient City is a small city on the edge of the Qilin Desert, since there is a desert road trade route that can run through the Qilin Desert, the Peacock Ancient City has become a must for caravans crossing the Qilin Desert to settle down and supply places, and gradually there are more people here.
However, because of the small number of locals, although the Peacock Ancient City has prospered for so many years, it has not been built too luxuriously, but it is still the same as hundreds of years, and the buildings in the city are all built with black rocks that can be found on the edge of the desert.
Because it was close to the time to close the city gate, the people near the city gate were in a hurry, and the three girls all covered up their appearance, and no one noticed Chen Jiahao's group.
Mu Lan led the three of them straight to the center of the Peacock Ancient City, although the houses here are also made of black rock, but they look more exquisite than ordinary houses, and many of the storefronts on the street are also hung with signs.
The Mu caravan also has some status in the Peacock Ancient City, and their storefront is also located on the most prosperous street in the center of the Peacock Ancient City, but when the four people came to the store of the Mu caravan, they found that the store was closed early, and there was no one left in the shop, and they didn't know where to go.
"What's going on?" Mu Lan's face was full of surprise, the store of the Mu caravan should not be closed at this time, even if it is temporarily closed, the store has to leave the guys to watch the store, how can there be no one left?
Chen Jiahao had already come to the shop next door, and after stuffing a few golden beans to the guy in this shop, he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on with the shop of the Mu caravan?" It's not closing yet, is it? ”
As soon as the man saw these golden beans, his saliva was about to flow, he hurriedly stuffed the golden beans into his pocket, and hurriedly replied with a flattering smile: "Originally, there was nothing wrong with the store of the Mu caravan, but just now, I don't know what happened, all the guys and bosses in the store left in a hurry, and I don't know what happened." ”
Chen Jiahao raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart that it must be the person behind the scenes who knew that Mu Lan had entered the city, and he was caught off guard and hurriedly summoned all the people back, it seems that Mu Lan's sudden attack should have had an effect.
