Li Chengji: They walked on the edge of the green state, clinging to the desert. Occasionally, the wind blows, and the hot gravel rolls down the sand dunes in an instant. A large array of sand fluttered, like roaring demons and ghosts, swooping down on them.

The official road, which has been in disrepair for a long time, has long been covered with a thick layer of yellow sand. If it weren't for the fact that the river was still meandering, they would have been lost in the golden desert.

Fortunately, before departure, I changed into a camel. Otherwise, just those tall horses would have died of heat under the scorching sun. But sitting on the back of a camel is never a good experience. As the camel moved forward in the gravel with a deep foot and a shallow foot, its body also swayed.

Lee Seung-ji was originally riding a camel! But because of the wind and sand, the whole body was covered tightly, which was too uncomfortable. Together with Zhang Zhiqin, they hid in the carriage. Without the scorching sun, I didn't feel so hot.

It is also the climate of the river region, which has always been dry. The humidity in the air has always been low. So even if the temperature is very high, it is not as hot and unbearable as Jiangnan. In addition, although the human body feels heat, it rarely sweats. So that as long as you hide in the shade or under the cover, you won't feel so hot.

He used to think about the Arabs who were in the desert and wrapped themselves like rice dumplings. How can I not suffer from heat stroke in such a hot environment. This personal experience finally figured out the reason.

There are fewer and fewer oases, and more and more deserts. A tall city wall also slowly loomed over the horizon.

"Young Master! Pu Hua, that's Pu Hua! Li Dayi untied the coarse cloth on his mouth and said excitedly. Even the yellow sand rushing in front of me was still unaware.

Li Chengji immediately lifted the corner of the curtain and covered his mouth and nose.

Then I saw an earthy yellow wall, standing quietly in the sun. It's like a mountain, so thick that you can't breathe.

Seeing this, his heart also welled up with joy.

He hadn't realized the power of the desert before!

It wasn't until he left the town of German that he was really impressed. Not to mention the unbearable heat, just say the yellow sand in the face, which is annoying.

At the edge of the desert, poplar trees appeared. The outline of the city wall is also becoming clearer. A sense of vicissitudes precipitated by the years also came to the face.

At this time, there were more merchants on the official road.

Similar to Hezhong Mansion, after paying a fee to enter the city, the soldiers did not make it difficult for Li Chengji and them to enter the city.

There was also a Puritan stronghold here! Li Chengji, under the leadership of Li Weiwei, came to a common rice shop to rest.

After nearly half an hour, Li Qiqi, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back.

"Young Master! Mr. Zhang's residence has been inquired clearly. ”

Zhang Zhiqin listened on the side, and immediately looked at Li Chengji with expectant eyes.

"Then rest for a few days and visit Zhang's Mansion again?" , Li Chengji pretended to be careless.

"Li Yizhi!" , Zhang Zhiqin accentuated her tone, slightly dissatisfied.

Li Chengji hurriedly explained: "Look at this hour, noon is not noon, and midday is not midday. Even if I rushed to Zhang's house, I missed the time to eat. I waited all the way, eating and sleeping in the open air. It's best to fill your stomach and rest before visiting. ”。

Zhang Zhiqin immediately rolled her eyes and turned her face to the side.

Xiao Cui looked at it, and immediately puffed up and said, "Young Master Li is really joking!" You have a great kindness to the young lady, even if you miss the time of the meal, the master will even entertain you well. ”。

"Hehe... That might be. Li Chengji thought of Zhang Xinglu's fate, and felt that Zhang Timing would definitely not wait to see him. This time I came to the door, and I couldn't say that I couldn't sweep the floor out. But on the face, he still changed his rhetoric and said: "Master Zhang is a reasonable person, and he should be like this." It's just that we are filthy and dirty, and we are no different from beggars. If you go rashly, you may be sent away by someone who has no eyesight.

And filial piety comes first! Miss Zhang has not seen her for several months, and she must be worried. Seeing this honor again now, I must be extremely sad.

Why not take a break and dress up. Mr. Zhang must have been very happy to see Miss Zhang. ”。 Although there is no way to freshen up all the way, it is not as Li Chengji said, no different from a beggar.

It's just that women love beauty!

Hearing Li Chengji say that his face was in trouble, he immediately listened to it in his heart. He was relieved and asked Li Chengji to take him over before the end of the day.

Seeing Zhang Zhiqin slowly going upstairs, Li Chengji looked a little dazed.

During this time, I felt very good to stay with Zhang Zhiqin. Although many times, Zhang Zhiqin was so angry with Li Chengji that she didn't speak.

But people are jian bones! The more you ignore yourself, the more you like it.

And Li Chengji saw that Zhang Zhiqin was annoyed by himself, and he thought it was very funny.

When it was time to do this, Zhang Zhiqin also dressed up. On her head, she combed the Lianyun sideburns of a Han woman and put on a hairpin. She was wearing a sky blue skirt and was very delicate.

After looking at Zhang Zhiqin's clothes back to the woman's clothes for a long time, Li Chengji's eyes suddenly lit up. Ruyu also changed into the dress of a Han woman! But the color is dark, covered with black veil, revealing a sense of mystery.

In terms of feeling, it is far less outstanding than Zhang Zhiqin.

Now Li Chengji is obedient to Ruyu following him. As long as he doesn't make a mess, he won't say anything.

went downstairs, Zhang Zhiqin glanced at Li Chengji proudly. Apparently very satisfied with his reaction.

"Little Cui! Have you packed everything up? Thinking that she would be able to see her relatives soon, Zhang Zhiqin's tone was not as calm as usual.

"Miss! You can rest assured! The clothes and utensils that Young Master Li bought for us were all packed up one by one. He pointed to the five big burdens on the table, looking a little helpless.

Li Chengji immediately made a look, and Li Qiqi and Li Dayi immediately loaded Zhang Zhiqin's things into the carriage.

"This is the silk I have embroidered for two months, and I thank you for taking care of it." , Zhang Zhiqin passed by Li Chengji's side and suddenly stuffed a handkerchief into Li Chengji's hand.

With Zhang Zhiqin's always arrogant heart, she can still say this, it is like the sun coming out in the west. So Li Chengji was stunned for the first time.

And Zhang Zhiqin looked at Li Chengji's reaction, so she had to stomp her feet and get into the carriage a little angrily.

The location of Zhang's Mansion is in Russell Place, not far from where Li Chengji and they live. But it is a place where dignitaries live, and ordinary people are not qualified to live there.

He drove the carriage and quickly approached the mosque standing in the center of the city. Turning around to the right, a splendid palace also appears in view. According to Li Gaoqi, this is the palace of the Burhan family. Generations of Sadr Jahan have lived in it.

Russell Place, on the other hand, is on the left side of the palace.
