The chaos in Juyue Prefecture is not inferior to that of Xizhou, and there are also many robbers in the desert outside the city. These robbers were called sand bandits by the inhabitants of the Giant Mountain, and most of them were robbers who fell into the grass by poor people who could not survive in the surrounding city-states.

Of course, there are also some robbers who are masters in their own right, but because they have offended some masters, they have to come to the desert to become robbers in order to find a way to survive.

Among these bandits, there was a team composed entirely of Qi practitioners. The ruler of this sand pirate team is a first-class master, they are sand thieves on the surface, but secretly they are from Shenjiangtang.

Although the Qiuyang Gang distributed a lot of food and salary to Shenjiang Hall every month, it could not satisfy the master of Shenjiang Hall. Therefore, the hall master of Shenjiang Hall privately thought of a way, that is, he asked the masters of the hall to organize a lot of teams to go to the desert to be sand thieves, and make a living by plundering the materials of pedestrians and travelers' caravans. Although such a gray profession was dirty, it made the treasury of the hall master of Shenjiang Hall much more abundant.

Therefore, after the master of Shenjiang Hall got the sweetness, he sent more masters in the hall to be sand thieves. And he also promised some of the best martial arts cheats for some of the teams that stood out in the competition to intercept the treasure. With the reward, these people naturally work harder.

Xu Dai, who was walking in the desert, did not realize that he was being followed by a team of sand thieves.

Xu Dai became confused after experiencing Li Meng's murder, and he didn't care about walking. stepped on the snake many times and didn't react, if it weren't for Wei Qi's knife speed, Xu Dai would probably have been bitten many times.

Everyone knows what Xu Dai is thinking, although Xu Dai has never liked Li Meng, but Li Meng, a woman who is obsessed with him, is willing to sacrifice her life for her own goal, every time Xu Dai thinks of this, his heart will suddenly hurt.

Everyone walked aimlessly through the desert, and no one knew where Xu Dai wanted to go. I only know that Xu Dai has changed his direction no less than five times today.

A group of children suddenly ran over with bowls, Xu Dai didn't notice it, and was still pulled by Zhao Bing before he stopped.

"Big brothers and sisters, beg you to do well and give us some water. We haven't had a day of water. The older of the children were only thirteen years old, and they all held bowls and looked at them.

Xu Dai didn't say a word, only Wei Qi could call the shots temporarily. So Wei Qi stepped forward and asked, "Are you refugees?"

Suddenly out of nowhere, such a group of children in the desert claimed that they had not drunk water for a day, and no one dared to believe it easily. Therefore, Wei Qi must determine the origin of this group of children, and there must not be any sloppiness.

The eldest boy nodded and said, "Big brother, we have fled from other city-states, please do well, big brothers and sisters, let's take a sip of water." ”

"What about your parents and elders?" Wei Qi still didn't dare to let his guard down, and continued to ask.

The boy said: "They were busy over there, and my friends and I went out to look for water, and we met you, big brother." ”

Wei Qi nodded, and looked in the direction the boy pointed and saw indeed a wisp of smoke, and the boy's words should not be false.

So Wei Qi untied the kettle at his waist and poured a lot of water into the bowl in the hands of the group of children. The children were naturally very happy after drinking the water, and they all gathered around Wei Qi to express their gratitude.

The eldest boy said to Wei Qi: "Big brother, my father said that we can't help but repay those who are kind to us, you let us drink water, let's take you to my father's mother." We had a lot to eat. ”

Wei Qi shook his head and said, "No need, you guys go back." ”

The boy lowered his head and played with his fingers, and when he lowered his head, a cold look flashed in his eyes that no one saw. Then when he was about to raise his head, he heard Zhao Shuyun say: "Let's take a look, Brother Xu's state ......"

Wei Qi glanced at Xu Dai, Xu Dai's current state is indeed not very good. The not-so-good state naturally refers to the spiritual aspect of the Xu Dynasty, and it is not a matter that the Xu Dynasty has been in a state of confusion. It's good when there is no danger, but once there is danger, Xu Dai is likely to suffer because of such a state.

Therefore, everyone was worried that Xu Dai would be bad if he continued like this, so they didn't dare to continue to let Xu Dai go on like this.

Wei Qi also thought of this, so he finally nodded after pondering for a while, and said, "Little brother, please lead the way, we will disturb your camp for a while." ”

The gloom in the boy's eyes dissipated instantly, and he raised his head and nodded with a smile: "Hmm." ”

"Big brothers and sisters, please come with me. ”

The boy led the way with a group of children, and the boy kept talking to distract Wei Qi from them, so that Wei Qi and the others did not notice that they were followed by a large group of sand thieves.

After climbing over the sand dune, Wei Qi and the others saw that there was no one behind the sand dune. Only a dying campfire burned lonely on the gravel.

"Be careful!"

Wei Qi raised his hand with one hand, and his pig-killing knife appeared in his hand.

The boy also looked at the lonely bonfire in front of him with a shocked expression, and he was stunned: "Where is my father?"

Wei Qi frowned, because the boy had his back to him, Wei Qi couldn't see his expression, but Wei Qi didn't really believe that the boy would continue to act. So Wei Qi was about to walk over and ask the boy some details about the matter.

After Wei Qi raised his foot and took the first step, he heard the sound of someone falling to the ground behind him. Wei Qi hurriedly looked back, only to see that Zhao Shuyun, who was walking at the end of the line, fell to the ground.

Behind Zhao Shuyun, a large group of people suddenly appeared.

Wei Qi was shocked: "There is a change!

Xu Dai, who had been fugue, didn't hear Wei Qi's words, so even if he had the strength of a big grade, under the premise of not showing it like this, he was just a lamb to be slaughtered.

The group did not kill Zhao Shuyun, but threw out a bag of powder, and Zhao Shuyun was the first person to inhale the powder and faint. They are followed by Fluttershy, Zhao Bing, Chen Yu, and Fang Zheng...... Xu Dai was the last to be captivated.

Xu Dai raised his arm and grabbed it in front of him before he was fascinated, as if he wanted to grasp something. But in the end, Xu Dai was trampled on by a sand thief who swaggered over and fainted.

"Search for what treasures they have. The leader of the sand thieves ordered his minions to work.

"Lord Xiang, this group of people should be a group of Qi practitioners. The sand thief looked at the leader and spoke.

The leader's eyes widened, he slapped the man in the face, and scolded: "How many times have I said it? You can't call me the incense lord outside! You can only call me the chief!"

This sand thief is naturally a master sent by the master of the Shenjiang Hall, and the leader of the sand thieves is even the incense master who has a lot of power to speak in the Shenjiang Hall.

Seeing that his subordinates searched for a long time before they came up with something valuable, the leader couldn't help frowning and said, "That's it?"

"Chief, these people only have a few pieces of silver on them, and the only thing of value should be this dagger. ”

The minion handed the dagger that was searched from Xu Dai's waist to the incense master, and said with a bitter face.

The incense lord took the dagger and put it away after a glance, although this dagger is indeed good, but this kind of dagger Shenjiang Hall master may not be eye-catching.

"Don't rush to kill these people, tie them up and keep them. I'm going to wait for them to wake up and torture them myself, I don't believe they really only have such a small amount of money!" said the incense lord with a calm face.

At the sound of the order, the minions under his command naturally got busy, and this group of people tied Xu Dai and them hand and foot, and finally carried Xu Dai and a few people to the abandoned grotto where they lived.

Glancing at the children who were trembling on the side, the incense lord smiled coldly and said, "Although you did a good job today, but you chose the wrong person, this group of people are all poor ghosts, if I can't get something about money from them, you will wait for tonight's punishment!"

The thought of punishment made the children tremble unconsciously. They were beggars brought out of the city-states by the Lord of the Incense, and this group of sand thieves often relied on this group of children to attract people to a certain place and distract them, and the sand thieves finally moved to stun the attracted people and rob them of their belongings.
