In the boundless Gobi, a lonely city.

This place, called "Shaba", stands quietly on the border of the western regions of Longchang Kingdom, and no one cares about its existence.

It's only late summer, but the wind is starting to get a little harder, and the sun is still scorching.

Qing'er found a shady place to hide from the sun on the widest street in Shaba. Sure enough, the skin instantly lost the burning sensation just now, but faintly revealed some coolness.

It seems that autumn here is coming early!

When she looked up, the so-called "street" was empty, and the few sparse shops had long since been dilapidated and deserted.

Not only are there no shops on the street, not even half a figure can be found, and there is a desolate and bleak atmosphere everywhere.

She deliberately came out early to chat with the locals and explore the people here, but only saw two Laipi dogs running by.

The dogs here don't seem to be doing well, as if they are skinny. Their noses twitched and sniffed around, but they couldn't find anything to satisfy their hunger, and they didn't know if they had an owner.

Qing'er frowned and flashed to the corner of the wall, knowing a little in her heart.

No wonder the people herd the sheep so much, they didn't have to worry about them running away at all. It's so remote that you can't find food or anyone when you run out of the school, so you can only starve to death.

Besides, even if you run out of the sand bar, you won't be able to get to the next populated place without a horse.

Horse? That's a rarity!

Even the supreme governor here, Governor Lee, only has one.

Qing'er couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this, this is a "heavenly prison" at all, if you want to leave, it will be your ribs.

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name, and Qing'er looked for prestige and turned out to be Niu Da.

He's on time!

The official clothes on Niu Da's body have been worn out as early as the Gobi period, and they have not been changed here, so they are not embarrassed to wear them all day long.

Now, he trotted in the wind, and the strips of broken skin on his body fluttered in the wind, but he was quite a bit dusty with his clothes, and Qing'er couldn't secretly laugh at it.

However, Qing'er's eyes quickly burned on the packets of medicine he was carrying, Niu Da, this kid was really powerful, he really found the medicinal materials, and Xi Ke was saved!

The prescription prescribed by Dr. Su before his death had already taken into account the lack of medicinal materials in the wilderness, and it was already a big road medicine, but even then it was still difficult to find.

It's not so much a lonely city as a dead city, a dead city that has been forgotten by all the vendors.

Fortunately, there is a big cow!

Niu Da's illness was cured without medicine, since it was not an infectious disease, he turned into a bad person again, but his mentality has changed a lot, and he treats Qing'er and Gongsun Xi very preferentially, after all, they are patients who have been through hardships together!

As for the messengers who came with him, although Niu Da never said that they didn't say a word, but when they returned, Niu Da chose to stay. He said that he was so afraid of the Gobi that he never wanted to step into the desert again for the rest of his life, and would rather stay here as a guard.

Of course, Governor Li welcomes this, where does anyone come to this place? He has some places in his hand, but there are only four people, which is not enough at all.

And although this Niu Da is too sick to lose weight, he is young! Li Tianba happily accepted the newcomer.

Niu Da chose to stay, I don't know if he will regret it in the future, but this decision first saved Gongsun Xi's life!

Where there is medicine, there is life.

What's more, the medicine was still prescribed by Dr. Su.

Qing'er took the medicine from Niu Da's hand, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

She walked back with Niu Da excitedly, and finally had time to think about something else in her mind, and chatted with Niu Da without a match.

Chatting and chatting, Qing'er suddenly asked: "Niu Da, I asked you something, just say it if it's convenient, and if it's inconvenient, I won't ask." As far as you know, what are we going to do when we are brought to this place? Is it to be reinforced? ”

Niu Da was stunned for a moment when he heard this, embarrassedly snorted, and said with a smile:

"This thing...... I don't know. Before they came, they said that they wanted us to send people to study in Shapa. Can...... Hey, we're friends who have rolled through the ghost gate together, so I'll just say it. We don't actually believe it, but there is a small piece of news in private, but it can also be a myth, so don't pay too much attention to it......"

"Ouch, just say it, how can people who are very cool talk so much nonsense."

Niu Da heard Qing'er say this, hehe smirked, and continued:

"We all wondered that this errand was strange, and the higher authorities asked us to gather enough people, but they strictly ordered us not to go to the big families, and we were not allowed to invite any of the famous...... Doesn't that sound weird? Besides, who would believe that you came to study in this place where rabbits don't? Not to mention that gentlemen don't want to teach, even if we don't want to run this errand! It's just that you can't hide from it, you are the first batch, and there are four more batches after that. Except for the ones with particularly hard roots, all the bad people have to come once! Alas, who let me not have a good father......"

Qing'er saw that she was about to arrive not far ahead, and she was afraid that there would be more people close to her, and it would be more inconvenient to ask, so she honestly and unceremoniously pushed Niu Da with her arm and interrupted his complaint:

"What rumors? You don't want to say it, it's off topic again! ”

"Hey, look at me! Anyway, later there were rumors that reading was false, and the army was real, and it was also said that this place was close to the border army, and this place was chosen to be unnoticeable. So as soon as you opened your mouth, I was stunned, have you heard this rumor? ”

Qing'er shook her head, held the medicine on her chest and smiled helplessly, she was almost caught by someone on the first day she crossed over to Longchang Country to be recharged, but she didn't expect to go around and around to recharge the army!

Is this providence?

In fact, now she is not as scared as when she first crossed, but she is worried about Xi, if his small body is filled with troops, I am afraid that there will really be no return!

Qing'er thought for a while and sighed: "I haven't heard any rumors, it's just that my good friend in Liangzhou signed up to go to Bazhou to take the exam, I was really suspicious, and I felt that this matter was a little too good to be outrageous." But since it's for the purpose of replenishing the army, just escort us directly to the border army, why do it have to be so cumbersome, now I don't think it's a little like it. ”

"Hey, I don't understand this, I heard that this time it was an order from King Liang, what do you want...... Learn, yes, learn! I also want to recruit students from all over the world. ”

Qing'er raised her eyebrows, King Liang?

She seemed to have read this name in the book, but she couldn't remember it for a while, and couldn't help muttering casually:

'King of Coolness...... Oh, isn't that four...... Isn't it, the third prince? ‘

Niu Da grinned: "It's not the third prince!" Our Bazhou and Liangzhou are all his fiefdoms. I heard that it's a prince who is not favored, hey, how can the favored one be sealed to a place where rabbits like us don't, right? ”

Qing'er couldn't help but smile, many ordinary people who are considered ignorant actually have their own way of looking at problems, simple but often in one sentence.

The two of them had walked a few steps before they saw the gate of the school house in the distance. (To be continued.) )
