Chapter 111: The True Face of the Sand Thief
"Then you can listen to it now."
Shangguan Yinling was rarely immune to her sycophants once, and asked her to listen to it, Lu Li cleared his throat, intending to behave well.
"My lord, your Yushu is extraordinary in the wind, if you say that this beam is the second most beautiful, no one dares to call it the first, if any girl marries you home...... Well, if you marry home, you must have burned high incense for the eighteen generations of your ancestors, so you can have such a blessing in this life......"
Listening to her endless sycophants, she couldn't help laughing when she was around Shangguan Yinling.
"If I'm so good, why don't you be as obsessed with me as those girls?"
This is asked, this world is not all, and adults are also narcissistic.
Of course, she didn't dare to say that.
"My lord, I am full of reverence for you! I'm a little different from the girl next to me, and I've never dreamed of marrying a relative......"
Besides, she doesn't have much money on her, so wouldn't it be cost-effective to marry someone who is not angry, and to give a lot of dowry?
She is still happy and free, much more comfortable than getting married.
Shangguan Yuling's expression was stunned, she has been in turmoil since she was a child, and she is not expected to be like other women, she has imagined the appearance of her future husband since she was a child, and she is afraid that even eating will be a problem.
"If you are short of money in the future, don't think of some messy ways, you want to come to me and ask me for silver taels, you know?"
Lu Li was a little confused, when did this come to the silver taels?
However, if someone is willing to give her two silver taels, she is naturally too late to be happy.
"My lord, you are a reborn parent to me! I'm going to follow you for the rest of my life! ”
Hearing her say this, Shangguan Yuling smiled again, reached out and knocked her little brain.
"Let's think about it first, and then talk about it after passing the preliminary exam."
If she can't pass the preliminary exam, don't say that it is a holy decree, even if the gods descend to earth, with Mr.'s stubborn donkey-like temper, she will not be allowed to enroll.
"I know my lord, I've been memorizing the Four Books and the Five Classics recently."
The firelight flickered slightly, Lu Li raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Yinling, he lowered his eyebrows and stirred the firewood, his eyes were refracted with firelight, and he was even more radiant.
Although adults are too narcissistic, they do look better than Pan An, and they are so calm and wise that they are not surprised, which should be sought after by countless girls since childhood, and it is reasonable to be narcissistic.
They barely slept by the campfire, and the next morning, before dawn, they bid farewell to the consul and rode north.
"You two may be able to follow the traces left by the sand thieves to the north, in this desert, no one is more familiar with the road than the sand pirates, maybe their friends have also discovered these marks, and it is unknown if they can meet you."
The two listened to the consul's advice and followed the marks left by the sand thieves all the way north.
After another day of traveling north, Lu Li faintly saw the shadow of the iceberg.
In the distance, it was almost the edge of the sky, and on the gloomy canopy, rows of icebergs were hidden behind the clouds, making them even more unfathomable.
"My lord, iceberg! I see the iceberg! ”
Shangguan Yinling also looked up to see that the iceberg in the distance already had a relatively clear outline, and it seemed that their path was not wrong.
Since following this group of sand thieves can find the far north, it can be seen that this group of sand thieves is not simple.
As early as when he fought with them before, he found out that they were not ordinary bandits, and it was very likely that they were a group of people with the bandits who stole the war horses.
The two of them continued to hurry north, and the vague iceberg became clearer and clearer, like a high wall that stretched through the earth, and as they got closer to it, the wind around them became colder and colder, and they knew that they were almost at their feet, and both of them were wrapped in thick robes.
"My lord, it's so cold in here."
As Lu Li spoke, the breath he exhaled turned into white mist, as if it was about to melt into ice, the iceberg here was so strong that it had never melted in a hundred years, even the scorching summer sun had never shaken it.
At this moment, under their feet, the shadow of the vast desert was gone, but the ice that would not melt.
Lu Li put on his boots, only to feel that this place was calm and quiet, like the legendary land of Western gods and Buddhas.
In this white expanse, there is no way to discern the direction, because the sun is often hiding behind the clouds, or on the other side of the iceberg, and the shadow is not so obvious.
"My lord, where shall we go now?"
The two of them were worried, when they suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of figures walking in the distance, they were wearing heavy black robes, and they walked in a certain direction in a line.
The two men left their horses in a safe place, and they followed the group into the far north.
After entering, they were surrounded by icebergs, and only a group of sand thieves in front of them showed them the way, and the two of them quietly followed them, and they walked in for about a quarter of an hour before entering an ice cave.
When they came out again, they had firewood and meat in their hands, and they were happily discussing the food they had eaten for the evening, and then they turned back the way they came.
The two of them entered the ice cave where they took meat, and as soon as they entered, Lu Li looked at the food and grass that had been piled up in the entire ice cave, and his mouth couldn't close in surprise.
"These people are quite horizontal, and there is a special ice cave for food."
Looking at the amount of food, it is enough for dozens of people to live for a month.
In this way, even if they are lost in the far north in the future, they will not have to worry about starving to death, and they will be able to buy more time to escape.
"Let's go, let's see the other ice caves."
The sand thieves marked the outside of each ice cave where they stored their belongings, and they found in several ice caves where they had food and grass for the horses, and quilts for sleeping at night, which stored almost all their belongings.
"Go and see where they hide their gods now."
The two of them returned the same way, and when they were about to return to the ice cave at the beginning, they heard a group of people talking and laughing in the distance.
Outside the ice cave, the two men peeked in.
"It's a pity, that beauty is really stunning, if you can snatch it back and let the brothers be happy, it's a pity, but it's a pity that a Shangguan Yuling ran out halfway and messed everything up."
"Come on, even if there is a real beauty, can Boss Qin make you happy? Stop dreaming. ”
"This Qin boss doesn't know where he went, he hasn't seen anyone for more than a day, isn't he lost?"
"Phew, don't say these frustrating words, how can Boss Qin get lost, there must be something delayed, let's just do our own thing, don't worry so much."
"Boy, today you delivered food to that group of unconscious people, the last time I went, I was almost not bitten to death by them, if it wasn't for Boss Qin's advice not to touch them, Lao Tzu would have killed them with a knife, and it would be a waste of food to keep it."
