Xue Shu saw Xue Bolian continue to walk forward, so he followed him forward, and the father and son quickly disappeared into the desert one after the other.

According to the clues left, Xue Bolian and Xue Shu have passed by this desert, but once they arrive in this desert, it is extremely difficult to find the direction, Mu Xiang is still tender in the end, she has never walked through the desert, and soon this body will be almost unbearable, Xue Yuan saw that she did not have water on her body, once this person encountered something about Xue Shu, it was completely ignored, Xue Yuan immediately handed the kettle to Gong Ling, Gong Ling immediately helped her to take a sip of water for her, Mu Xiang woke up again, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Gong Ling said: "If you are grateful, let's get out of this desert." ”

Mu Xiang supported her body again and got up, and Gong Ling looked at Xue Yuan, "Master, how should this be?" Even if there are some clues left, they will soon disappear in this desert. ”

Xue Yuan didn't have any way for a while, "This way, I finally found an inn, but the inn turned out to be a black shop, but once I crossed the black shop, it was all desert, and I could only slowly grope and continue to move forward, I must hurry up to catch up with the master and the young master, otherwise it will be even more troublesome at night." ”

They all felt extremely unfamiliar with this section of the road, and just when they felt cornered, they saw a signal from the sky, and suddenly the three of them had a goal, Gong Ling said: "It's the signal sent by the young master." ”

Hearing Gong Ling's words, Mu Xiang was about to go soon, but was stopped by Xue Yuan and Gong Ling, Xue Yuan said: "Wait, the signal just now is transmitted, not to mention about one or two hundred meters, you are walking like this is too slow, get into the carriage quickly!" ”

Mu Xiang immediately got into the carriage, and Gong Ling smiled and said, "I think you are gentle on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to be so protective of the master." ”

"Protecting the young master was originally the duty of the slave."

Gong Ling didn't say much.

Xue Bolian and Xue Shu finally passed through the desert to the town, and Xue Shu also fired a signal flare along the way, lest their subordinates could not find it, "Father, the place here is unfamiliar, and there is a desert within two hundred meters, these are completely different from the desert they encountered before, if this person gets lost, then he can only starve to death." ”

"Well, it's good that we've already made it."

This town is very lively, Xue Bolian and Xue Shu are ready to find an inn to stay overnight, now there is finally a place to stay, both of them are tired, it just so happens that Xue Yuan and Gong Ling, Mu Xiang finally arrived in this town, their horses are almost out of strength to hurry, Xue Yuan looked at an inn, and guessed in her heart, "The old man and the young master should live in this inn," his eyes quickly fell on the opposite inn, "We, just live over there." ”

The three of them immediately went to the inn, and soon booked three rooms, Mu Xiang's face was not very good, Gong Ling asked, "Mu Xiang, are you unwell?" I don't think your face is very good. ”

"Out of the way, just rest for a while."

After hearing Mu Xiang's words, Gong Ling didn't ask again.

Xue Yuan immediately rushed to Mu Xiang's room, "We are here, if something happens, we can also communicate with the master and the young master." ”

"Okay." Gong Ling responded.

Xue Yuan left, and Gong Ling looked at Mu Xiang and said, "I just got a letter from the master, saying that it was an action in the early hours of tonight, so now you can rest for a while, if you are really uncomfortable, let me go and find a doctor for you." ”

Mu Xiang said: "Thank you." ”

In fact, Mu Xiang was indeed just too tired, coupled with the long bumps on this carriage, and he couldn't stand such a high temperature, so naturally his body was a little uncomfortable, and after sleeping for a while, his spirit was much better, but Xue Shu didn't know about these things.

The sky gradually darkened, Xue Bolian and Xue Shu immediately walked out, Xue Shu didn't know much about the mysterious black shadow, and didn't know where it would often appear, but Xue Bolian understood ruthlessly, "Father, that mysterious person often appears in this kind of place?" ”

"Yes, this person often appears in those remote courtyards, remote mountain villages, although I followed him all the way, I don't know where his weaknesses are, this is a very powerful person, therefore, you must be careful."

"Then what am I doing here?"

"This person disappeared quickly after arriving at this courtyard, in order to catch this person, I fought directly with him, only to find that this person's skills are absolutely above, so I specially ordered all the people to come to deal with him, I don't believe it, so many of us can't deal with him alone."

Xue Shu still felt a little uneasy, "But, father, will it be easy to startle the snake in this way, not to mention, this person may be the person sent by the mastermind, although the martial arts are strong, but he always runs around, always thinks that when I know where the mastermind is, he goes elsewhere, if he continues to be entangled like this, Xiao'er is not sure whether this person is deliberately delaying time." ”

"Shhhh Someone! Xue Bolian immediately made a silent movement, came to an alley, and saw the mysterious man talking to an official.

"How?" From the alley came the voices of the two men, and the person who asked must be the official.

"yes, that's it."

"How many taels of silver are left in that inventory now?"

"I have already calculated that there are a total of 15,627 taels of silver in the inventory, plus 3,600 taels of silver, 7,600 gold bars, and 300,000 taels of gold."

……

Hearing such a big silver tael, let alone that this person had already learned to embezzle many years ago, Xue Bolian said: "Wait for my father to see his true face." With that, he rushed over at once.

"Hey! Father! ”

As soon as the words fell, the figure was gone.

The reason why Xue Bolian wanted to determine who that person was was because this person's voice was very familiar, so he secretly went up to the eaves, and recognized the person at a glance from above and down, his eyes rolled, "Is it him?" ”

This person's surname is Meng, and he was also an official with him in the past, but he was only a teenager at that time, and he also told Xue Bolian that he wanted to be like his father, and become an official that everyone admired, at first he was indeed a very good official, but in the end he was defeated by reality.

As this official position became higher and higher, he couldn't keep his original intention, and began to do corrupt things, I really didn't expect that that the young man would actually do such a thing, Xue Bo immediately jumped from the eaves and returned to Xue Shu's side.
