He turned his head to look at her, her eyes were slightly closed, her eyelashes were covered above her eyelids, she was sleeping quietly, her face was white and pure, a small one, quiet and lovely.

The moonlight was shining brightly on her face, and he reached out to help her block the wind and sand that blew in, and put one side of the big sword on her knee.

Along the way, she has suffered a lot.

As the night deepened, Shangguan Ling choked a little sleepy, and didn't notice that the wind and sand seemed to be slowly getting bigger, and the clouds were blown by the wind, covering the translucent moonlight.

By the time they realized that something was not right, the wind and sand had already squinted, and the horses not far away were neighing, as if a storm was coming.

"Oh no, it's windy!" Shangguan Yinling reacted the fastest, got up and looked behind the stone wall.

In the distance, the hurricane was coming towards them, and in the face of the hurricane, they felt small as human beings for the first time.

"Get on board!"

When a hurricane hits, they will die.

Several people galloped on their horses, and the horses sensed the danger and ran forward frantically.

Shangguan Yuling followed behind Lu Li, waving his horsewhip vigorously, Lu Li's horse was in pain, and ran forward even harder.

The others were all following behind, the wind and sand were so big that they swept away the things on the horse's back, and when it was life and death, Shangguan Yinling just wanted the horse to run as far away as possible with Lu Li.

I don't know how long I ran, the wind and sand gradually weakened, and the two people rolled off the horse, lying on the yellow sand, breathing heavily, and gradually lost consciousness.

When Shangguan Yinling woke up, the sky was already bright, the sun was shining on the desert, and it was calm in the distance, as if a hurricane had never happened.

He looked down to find Lu Li's figure, ran up to her, and patted her face.

"Lu Li, Lu Li!"

Lu Li was shaken by the heavens, and slowly opened his eyes, spit out a mouthful of yellow sand in his mouth.

"Are we dead?"

Why are they all in the underworld, and there is such a desert.

"Not dead." Shangguan Yuling pulled Lu Li up, "But I may have lost contact with them." ”

Now in this whole piece of yellow sand, there are only the two of them as far as the eye can see.

The most important thing now is to find your companions first and make sure that none of them die in this desert.

There are many dangers here, except for Bima, including the two of them, they can't keenly discern the direction in the desert, if they don't find them, everyone will work together to leave this desert, and only then can they die.

"But now we're completely out of direction." They don't even know where they ran last night, where they are now, and they don't know which direction is the direction they should go.

Not to mention finding Duan Lang and them, they couldn't even discern the right direction.

There were still two jugs of water tied to the horse's back, and if they couldn't find their way out after drinking these two jugs, it would really be over.

"Have you ever heard of sand pirates?"

Shangguan Yinling suddenly opened his mouth, and Lu Li looked at him blankly.

"Sand Pirates?"

She'd only heard of pirates, so how could there be robbers in this hairless desert?

"On the trade route between Liang and Daliang, there are often sand thieves who come and go to rob the goods of merchants to make a living, they live in the desert and know how to find water in the desert."

So they're not going to go to the sand pirates, are they?

"If I'm not mistaken, we're in the right place for sand pirates."

It should not be too far from the trade route, as he saw the strips of red cloth that the sand thieves used to mark the road.

Not far away, on the trunk of an old tree that had withered for many years, there was such a strip of red cloth tied.

Since the red cloth strip has been left, it means that there will be sand thieves who will follow the traces of the red cloth strip passing by here.

It doesn't matter if the sand pirates pass by, it's the trade team that brings in the sand pirates that matters.

"Your Excellency, do you mean that we follow the sand thieves to rob the trade team?"

This is not very good, although it is now the line of life and death, but how to say that it is also an official of the imperial court, following a group of sand thieves to rob the business team from Liangguo, is it not good for the two countries.

"What do you want?" Shangguan Yinling couldn't help but glance at her, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of mess she had in her head, "Why do you have to rob it?" Wouldn't it be good to let the trade team lead the way? ”

Even if you can't meet a trade team, you should be able to find a water source if you secretly follow the sand thieves.

Sometimes, these desert bandits are not heinous, and many of them have to become sand thieves because life in the desert is too hard.

Moreover, they have no money on them, which will not attract their attention.

"That's true, but my lord, are you sure the sand thieves won't recognize you as the head of the Special Crime Division? If we thought we were here to encircle and suppress them, wouldn't we have died a miserable death when we were discovered? ”

Should...... No, he's not so famous that he still knows people in this desert.

"Anyway, there's only one way to try it now." Let's take the risk and try it, and he thinks that Bima should also know to find the trade team, and Gong Chengqi and they may also think of this.

Whether we can converge or not depends on everyone's tacit understanding.

The two of them waited under the dead tree for nearly an hour, and Lu Li was about to give up before he heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near.

Listening to this voice, the number of sand thieves is quite large, and there must be about twenty of them.

The two men found a stone wall and hid behind it, waiting for the sand thieves to approach.

After a while, a group of people dressed in coarse linen clothes and with fierce and unusual appearances appeared in their field of vision.

"My lord, these people don't seem to be easy to mess with." It's not like being forced to become a sand thief as adults say, but it's like a thief among sand thieves.

Shangguan Yinling frowned slightly, he also felt that these people were not like sand thieves, looking at the swords of the horses they were riding, they were all sophisticated, how could the sand thieves have such a level of equipment?

"Let's see."

A group of sand thieves looked at the red cloth strips on the trees and ran away according to the directions, and the two men got on their horses and chased after them far away from their horseshoe prints.

Sure enough, the sand thieves were heading to the trade route, only to see them hiding far behind the sand slopes, as if waiting for their prey to take the bait.

Looking at them like this, you know that there is indeed a merchant and trade team passing by today.

"My lord, what should we do, we have to find a way to alert the trade team."

But they are too far away now, and if they get a little closer, they will be discovered by the sand pirates, and they are completely powerless.

Just as he was worried, the sound of a camel bell suddenly sounded in the distance, Shangguan Yinling could hear that this was the camel bell of the Liangguo business team, and the two glanced at each other, and their expressions gradually became anxious.
