Chu Huan bowed slightly: "My lord, this is the actual situation, with the current physical condition of the brothers, if you continue to walk, there will definitely be many people who will get sick, this time we didn't even bring a doctor over, once someone is sick, we will have to delay the trip." ”

Zhao Cheng arched his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you say it bluntly, even if you set off now, you may not be able to avoid the sandstorm before it comes. ”

Xue Huai'an frowned and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Zhao Cheng thought for a while, and finally said: "If you really can't avoid the wind and sand, then you can only find a place to hide for a while." I know that twenty or thirty miles to the northwest is a large sand dune, which is in the shape of a valley, and although it may not be absolutely safe, it is really impossible to go out of the eye of the storm, and only there can be a minimization of losses. ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan immediately asked, "Does Master Zhao know where that place is?" ”

Zhao Cheng said: "The general direction, I know it below, but the specific location cannot be determined, and I need to go over to find it." After a pause, he said, "But we camel riders are still familiar with this road, and it must not be difficult for the big guys to work together to find the sand dune." ”

Xuanyuan Sheng frowned, his lips moved, and he didn't say anything after all.

Zhao Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Qiu is in charge...... Well, Qiu Dangjia did something wrong, and you did not implicate us in his guilt, and we are very grateful in our hearts. However, how to go on this road, please think about it. His eyes were a little gloomy, although Xuanyuan Shengcai didn't speak, but this Zhao Cheng was not a fool after all, he knew what Xuanyuan Shengcai thought.

Qiu Yinghao colluded with the sand bandits to plot the mission, and of course the camel riders knew that because of this matter, the mission's trust in the camel riders must be problematic.

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally asked, "Master Zhao, how long will it take to start from here and get to the valley-shaped sand dunes you mentioned?" ”

Zhao Cheng heard Chu Huan's meaning, and it seemed that he really wanted to go there, obviously trusting himself, and his spirit was suddenly shocked, and said: "Lord Chu, if you are faster, before the big storm comes, I guarantee that I can take the mission to the valley-shaped sand dunes." If the adults choose to go there, then the mission can rest here for a while to recuperate. ”

Chu Huan looked at Xue Huai'an and arched his hand: "My lord, in your opinion, should we go to the valley-shaped sand dunes to avoid the wind and sand, or should we set off immediately and continue to move forward?" ”

Xue Huai'an hurriedly said: "Deputy Envoy Chu, this official is dizzy, he really has no idea, you and General Xuanyuan discuss, and you are in charge." ”

Chu Huan looked at Xuanyuan Shengcai, and Xuanyuan Shengcai had already said: "The last general is all under the orders of the deputy envoy." ”

Chu Huan smiled helplessly: "Set off now, all the way to the north, you can naturally avoid the eye of the storm, but as the master said, you still can't completely get out of the eye of the storm, there is still the possibility of encountering a big storm, and at that time, everyone was sleepy, and if you want to resist the big storm, you are afraid that it will be very difficult." If you turn northwest and look for the valley-shaped sand dunes, you can't guarantee everything, but you can recover your strength, and when you get there, you still have time to prepare for the wind and sand. After a pause, he finally said in a deep voice: "Lord Xue, General Xuanyuan, according to Chu's opinion, how about we let Master Zhao and them lead the way and march in the direction of the valley-shaped sand dunes?" ”

Xue Huai'an and Xuanyuan Shengcai said in unison: "That's it." ”

Chu Huan said: "Master Zhao, when it is dusk, we will set off, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Cheng arched his hand and said solemnly: "The little one will go back and prepare." ”

After dispersing, Chu Huan came out of the camp, but a soldier stepped forward to report: "Lord Deputy Envoy, there is a girl who asks to see you!" ”

Chu Huan didn't need to ask, he knew who it was, turned his head to look, and saw that outside the camp, Liu Meiniang was waiting, blocked by the soldiers on duty, frowning, but saw that Liu Meiniang had already seen herself, and was raising her arm to summon herself, Chu Huan sighed, put her hands behind her back, and without waiting for him to speak, Liu Meiniang had already said coquettishly: "Lord Chu, these soldiers under your command are really rude, Mei Niang wants to go in to find you, they just block and don't let you in, we are good friends, they treat Mei Niang like this, Hurry up and have someone pull them down and hit the board. ”

"Someone's coming!" Chu Huan said in a deep voice.

Immediately two more soldiers came over, and the two soldiers who stopped Liu Meiniang were stunned, and really thought that Chu Huan was going to punish them, but saw Chu Huan raise his hand and point at Liu Meiniang, and said coldly: "Arrest this female thief who trespassed into the camp!" ”

The soldiers were all stunned, looking at each other, and they didn't know whether to do it.

Liu Meiniang was already giggling, showing off her flowers, but she stretched out her hands and said coquettishly: "Come on, you catch it?" Arrest me, a female thief? But I don't allow them to touch me, if you want to arrest it, come and catch it yourself, Mei Niang promises not to resist! ”

Her voice is greasy, as if flirting with her lover, she is wearing a hat, the soldiers can't see her appearance clearly, plus she is dressed in brocade, and she hides her graceful curves a lot, so the soldiers don't know the seduction of the beauty in front of them for a while, and at this moment listening to her voice is charming, one by one is the heartbeat is faster, I don't know whether it is caused by this sound or the scorching sun, and the face is a little red.

Chu Huan snorted coldly and said, "You still dare not arrest you as an official?" ”

"Which royal law did Mei Niang violate?" Liu Meiniang's voice was disgusted: "If you want to catch it, just come and catch it yourself." ”

Chu Huan shook his head, waved his hand to let the soldier retreat, only then took two steps forward, and said lightly: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Meiniang also moved lightly and leaned over to Chu Huan, enchanting and colorful, Chu Huan had already raised his hand and said, "Don't come here, if you have something to say, just stand there and say it!" At this time, the two were three or four steps away, and Chu Huan was not afraid that Liu Meiniang would be unfavorable to him, but he knew that this woman's behavior was bold, whether she spoke or moved, she sometimes acted amazingly, if she got too close, she had intimate actions towards herself, and it was not a good thing to be looked at by her subordinates.

Mei Niang's charming eyes under the black veil turned, and she sighed faintly: "It turns out that Lord Chu, like other men, is also so ruthless and ......unjust!" Without waiting for her to finish, Chu Huan had already said with a straight face: "Stop, stop, don't talk about this nonsense." He raised his finger and pointed to the scorching sun in the sky, and said, "The sun is very shining, if you have anything to say, this official still has official business!" ”

Liu Meiniang finally said: "Lord Chu, Meiniang spent money to hire Qiu Yinghao to escort him away from the desert, and now Qiu Yinghao is dead, you say...... What do you say Mei Niang should do? ”

The corners of Chu Huan's mouth seemed to be smiling, and he said, "You go to discuss this matter with the Qiu family's camel guest, and you don't need to find this official." ”

Liu Meiniang said angrily: "Now that the Qiu family's camel customers are leaderless, they naturally listen to you, who can Mei Niang find if she doesn't look for you?" ”

"What do you want?"

"Mei Niang wants to ask, is it up to Lord Chu to protect Mei Niang through the desert next?" Mei Niang smiled coquettishly: "If Lord Chu protects Mei Niang to go to the desert, Mei Niang will be at ease." ”

Chu Huan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have a good idea, I, the Great Qin Mission, do I still have to bear the responsibility of protecting you?" I couldn't help but say: "It's not impossible to want my mission to escort you, but can you afford to pay the money?" ”

"It turned out to be a money-grubbing guy." Mei Niang stomped her feet, then spread her hands, and said helplessly: "The silver money saved by Mei Niang has been used to hire camel riders, and there is no extra money." Her beautiful eyes flowed, and she said delicately: "Lord Chu, what is worth it on Mei Niang, what do you like, even if you take it?" ”

"Your clothes and jewelry, add up to only a hundred taels of silver." Chu Huan smiled: "This official is really not interested. ”

"Where's under the clothes?" Mei Niang teased: "Clothes are worthless, it can't even be that Mei Niang is worthless, right?" Taking another step forward, the fragrant tongue licked his somewhat dry lips like a snake, and his voice hooked the soul: "Lord Chu, if you think Mei Niang is valuable, Mei Niang will promise you, are you willing to ask for it?" ”

Chu Huan knew that this stunner would perform the soul seduction technique at every turn, took a step back, and said: "Okay, since you are going to cross the desert, you can follow the team, but the ugly words are in front, it is still the same sentence, be honest, don't fight bad ideas!" ”

Mei Niang said coquettishly: "In this way, are adults willing to protect Mei Niang?" Giggles, Mei Niang knows that adults have good hearts. Master Chu, is Mei Niang being bullied, and you will come forward to protect Mei Niang? ”

"Who dares to bully you?" Chu Huan sighed: "It's already a blessing that you don't bully others." He waved his hand and said, "You go and rest first, and set off at dusk." ”

In fact, he can also see that Mei Niang is actually tired after a few days, although her voice is still delicate and charming, but it is slightly hoarse, this desert is cold on summer and night, even men can't stand it, let alone a delicate woman.

What else did Mei Niang have to say, Chu Huan had already turned around and walked away, and after taking a few steps, a camel rider from the Ma family had already walked over quickly, holding a piece of paper in his hand, "Lord Chu, this is the words written to you by the wolf baby!" ”

The wolf baby is mute, but he is literate and can write, and even his handwriting is very beautiful.

Not only is he good at archery and equestrianism, but he also apparently used to read and learn calligraphy.

Chu Huan took the piece of paper, didn't look at it immediately, just looked at the wolf baby, and saw that the wolf baby was still holding Ma Xiulian's corpse, half-kneeling on the ground, expressionless in front of him, like a stone, and finally raised his head at this moment, looking at himself.

Chu Huan spread out the paper with both hands and looked at it carefully, but saw that it was written: "The people behind the scenes, the intention is to make the mission, you will be able to find the real culprit behind the scenes." Sacrifice your life today, and change the real murderer behind the scenes! ”

Chu Huan frowned and looked at the wolf baby again, it was written simply, but the meaning was very clear.

Although the death of Ma Zhengyi's father and daughter was directly caused by Qiu Yinghao, what really caused this tragedy was naturally the real culprit behind the hiring of Qiu Yinghao to be unfavorable to the mission.

The wolf baby didn't know who that person was, but he obviously judged that since that person was not good for the mission, he obviously had a grudge with the mission, and as long as the mission searched carefully, there would always be some clues, and even the real culprit behind the hiring of Qiu Yinghao and the sand bandits could be found.

In the eyes of the wolf baby, although Qiu Yinghao is dead, the real enemy is the real murderer behind the scenes, he wants to sacrifice his life at this moment, naturally he does not really want to kill himself, but to hand over his life to Chu Huan and wait for Chu Huan's dispatch.

In other words, the wolf baby is willing to become Chu Huan's slave, but he has one condition, that is, he wants Chu Huan to help him find the real murderer behind the scenes, and the life of the real murderer behind the scenes will be handed over to him to dispose of.
