On the day of the beginning of winter, Jiankang City was very lively, the emperor personally led the three princes and nine Qing doctors out of the suburbs to welcome the winter, and gave hundreds of officials winter clothes, which can be described as Shengde as water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The treasure hunt happened to hit Lidong, so it was delayed, Liu Yan originally thought that the emperor would take advantage of this day to summon himself to Jiankang, but the holy edict never came.

What worries him even more is that this season is the best day for autumn harvest and winter planting, but those people ignore their fields at home and go to the mountains to dig treasures, which is crazy.

In desperation, Liu Yan ordered Lu Zhi to lead his troops to disperse the people down the mountain, and promised that once the treasure was found, it would be shared equally with the people.

Although the people did not believe it, they were also afraid of the officers and soldiers, so they had to give up and honestly go home to collect grain and prepare for the cold winter.

The weather in Huangling is very cold, yesterday the shirt was still a mattress, but today it is necessary to wear a cotton robe, and Yongming put on a robe early.

Liu Yan was very anxious, just after the beginning of winter, he was going to lead the troops to the desert, Lu Zhi selected a pair of elite soldiers according to his instructions, each soldier was dressed in robes and guns, and it seemed that he was very well prepared.

The wind in the desert cut everyone's faces like a knife, and it hurt and hurt, and Banrong was also in the marching procession, rubbing his hands together, as if to get a trace of warmth from it.

Liu Yan and Chu Shenxia noticed her at the same time, because Liu Yan was on the camel and had to waste some time coming down, so Chu Shenxia passed first.

"Are you alright?" Chu Shenxia grabbed her hand, only to feel a chill rushing into her body through the palm of her hand, and couldn't help but shiver secretly.

"I ...... I didn't ...... It's okay. Banrong almost finished these words with a trembling voice.

Chu Shenxia saw that she was trembling terribly, so he hurriedly took off the robe he was wearing, draped it on her, and reproached softly: "What do you say you are doing here?" It's not child's play for us to go to the desert this time, if we don't do it well, we will lose our lives. ”

The outer robe with his temperature finally made Banrong have some rational consciousness, and he pulled the robe tighter before saying, "If something happens to you, don't you have to rely on me, the god of medicine, to save you?" It's a big deal, it's a big deal, and we're going to die together. ”

Chu Shenxia glanced at her meaningfully, didn't speak again, took two steps, and rushed to Liu Yan's side.

"Go and get my coat." Liu Yan instructed Lu Zhi sideways, then turned his head to look into the distance, and pretended to ask casually, "How is she?" ”

Chu Shenxia naturally knew who he was asking, and immediately replied, "It's okay, she's fine." ”

While speaking, Lu Zhi had already trotted over and handed the coat in his hand to Liu Yan, but Liu Yan did not answer, his eyes were on Chu Shenxia's face, and he said softly: "Give it to him." ”

"Huh? This ......" Lu Zhi glanced at Chu Shenxia, and then looked down at the robe in his hand, "Your Highness, you brought such a robe with you on this trip, if you give it to Chu Shenxia, what will Your Highness wear?" ”

"If you want to give it to you, what is such a little cold, I have been on the battlefield for a long time, I am not afraid of this cold, and the march and battle that day are much more bitter than this, and I don't see you care about a coat." Liu Yan still looked into the distance and did not look back.

Lu Zhi sighed lightly, and handed the robe to Chu Shenxia, but Chu Shenxia didn't refuse, and put it on after taking it.

"There's someone there!" One soldier wondered, pointing his finger at a black dot not far away.

Zuo Zhen took the lead in running a few steps, and after a while, he ran back again, and said approvingly to the soldier just now: "Boy, good eyesight, I walked so close to see that he was a person, but he was dead." ”

"Oh?" Liu Yan was also a little surprised, and after getting off the camel, he followed everyone to the place where the man was.

There were no wounds on his body, but his mouth, ears and nose were covered with sand, and he was probably buried by the sand and suffocated to death.

"Look, there's a corpse here, too!" Lu Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, was struggling to dig the sand, and a pair of conspicuous hands were exposed in the sand, and the soldiers on the side joined the sand planing team.

After a while, more than twenty corpses were dug up, all of them were almost dead, there were no wounds on their bodies, and they were all wearing extremely ordinary black robes, so it was impossible to guess their origins.

"These people should have been the ones who went into the city a few days ago to hunt for treasures, and they were buried here when they encountered wind and sand." Lu Zhi said firmly.

Liu Yan got up and looked around, nodded in agreement with his statement, "We have arrived at the center of the desert, it is very dangerous here, and the wind and sand are uncertain when it will come, so everyone must always be vigilant." ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

"Ahh An exclamation of surprise came out after everyone shouted in unison, and everyone couldn't help but look around for the source of the sound, only to see a soldier sinking into the sand, and was constantly sinking.

The nearest soldier hurried over to pull him, but he accidentally fell into it, and several soldiers next to him hurried towards the two of them.

But I heard Chu Shenxia shouting: "Don't move!" Slow back! ”

The moment they stopped, they clearly felt that the sand under their feet seemed to be moving, and they were also a little scared in their hearts, and they didn't dare to speak at the moment, so they moved their steps slowly, and kept retreating.

One of the soldiers probably felt that he had almost retreated, and for a moment he was relieved, and suddenly turned around and ran two steps, when the originally solid sand suddenly sank, and he and the soldiers fell in one fell at once.

"Let's go!" Chu Shenxia saw that the sand was sinking bigger and bigger, so he hurriedly grabbed half of it, and dragged it to another hillside half-pulled and half-dragged.

From the hillside, the sand was already up to their chests, and they seemed to be struggling, sinking faster and faster.

"Your Highness, what about those brothers?" Lu Zhi was a little anxious.

"There's no way, quicksand is not a terrible thing, but after falling in, the more you move, the faster it sinks, and there is no manpower to pull them out, so you can only climb out slowly on your own." Chu Shenxia shook his head a little helplessly.

Lu Zhi glanced at Chu Shenxia and muttered, "You said it earlier!" ”

Immediately, he took two steps forward and shouted, "Hey! Don't move! The more you move, the deeper you sink! ”

But the few people over there didn't hear him at all, and kept propping their hands on the sand, trying to get out, and the first soldier had now covered his entire face with the sand, leaving only half of his armor.

Lu Zhi was about to go crazy, and shouted with all his strength: "Stop!" Don't move! ”

Liu Yan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't waste your efforts, so far away, they can't hear what you're talking about at all, in the desert, fifty steps away, it's hard to hear a single sound." ”

Lu Zhiyin's red face turned iron blue at the moment because of the loud shouting, his eyes looked back and forth on Liu Yan and Chu Shenxia, and finally fell on Chu Shenxia's face, and said excitedly: "Since you already knew that it was so dangerous, why didn't you stop it when Your Highness said that you were coming?" If something happens to Your Highness, what should we do?! ”

"I want to stop it, can I stop it?" Chu Shenxia replied without being salty.

"You ......" Lu Zhi gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Yan, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, come here, continue to hurry." ”

The elite soldiers all looked at the place where they had just stopped, where else was there there? A large expanse of twilight blends with the surrounding sand, and then falls silent again.

Suddenly, there was no such majestic momentum as when he first entered the desert, and his face and eyes were full of frustration and a faint sadness.

Suddenly, the wind blew around, and the sky darkened, and the road could not go on, and besides, the people were tired, so they had to find a place first, and then talk about it after tonight.

Luckily, it didn't take long for the team to enter the vicinity of the oasis, where there was a natural lake, and when a group of people saw the lake, they ran over like hungry wolves, lying on the edge of the lake and gulping down water.

Night fell very quickly, above the cloudless night sky was a large number of stars, the starlight flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and a few white lights suddenly crossed the night sky.

Banrong chased two steps very happily and said happily: "Look, how beautiful." ”

Amazingly, in a moment, the continuous white light flashed one after another, and the night sky seemed to be raining stars, and everyone was attracted by this beautiful scenery, and the mood of the day was temporarily forgotten, and they only cared about looking up at the sky.

"Lizhu, Twelve Kingdoms, Tianyuan, Jiukan, Dou, Tail, Heart, Fang......" Chu Shenxia got carried away and said unconsciously.

"What are you talking about?" Banrong turned around and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just some astrological signs, the desert is really a good place for stargazing, and many of the stars are rare to see in the city." When Chu Shenxia answered her, her gaze always fell firmly on the top of her head.

Seeing that he was so attentive, Banrong stopped bothering him, sat next to Liu Yan, and saw his brows tightened, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" Don't even look at such a beautiful scenery, do you have a concern? ”

Liu Yan raised his eyes in response, smiled at her gently, and then looked up at Tiandao: "It's nothing, it's just a little sleepy, the scenery here is really chic, this trip is not in vain." ”

After only looking at it twice, he quickly lowered his head again, fiddling with the fire in front of him with his eyes blankly, Chu Shenxia, who was observing the stars and fascinated by the stars, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Liu Yan, and gave an inexplicable smile to the upper half of his gaze.

Liu Yan got up suddenly, Lu Zhi reflexively jumped up, wanting to follow him, Liu Yan hurriedly stopped him softly: "I just go over there for a walk, I don't have to follow." ”

The hand hidden in the cuff was firmly clenched, and when it touched the cold thing in the cuff, his eyes were a little more painful, and his mother gave the tourmaline to herself, saying very clearly, this tourmaline is a symbol of their Mongolian kings for generations.

However, why did the drawings found from those corpses look exactly the same as those on the tourmaline? This could not be a coincidence, could it be that the place where the treasure in the depths of the desert is located is the hiding place of the Mongol army?

Liu Yan's footsteps became heavier and heavier, if this was really the case, who were those people? Is it here to hunt for treasure or is it a pretence of treasure hunting...... What do you want to do?
