In the 112th year of the Xianjian calendar, Shajian suffered a drought that was rare in a thousand years, which led to a change of regime, Shajian Emperor was killed by the rebels and re-established a new regime, but since then, one-third of the country's land area has gradually become desertified, and it has evolved into a polarized country with half sand and half oasis.

Since the unification of the Thirteen Kingdoms by the Heavenly Sword Country, in order to weaken the influence of other countries on itself, the Heavenly Sword Kingdom has made many internal divisions against other countries.

Shajian is one of the countries that have suffered the most, with a serious north-south divide and a very huge gap between the rich and the poor.

It is a hub road connected by the blue-roofed city in the south-central part of the country, Danma, West Asia, and Luokesa.

Cangzhi Road is the dividing line, the northern desert area is basically inhabited by displaced people and poor people, while the southern part is the civilian and rich area, the imperial city of Hengtian, is also located in the southerly direction of Cangzhi Road.

To the north, with the exception of a few oases and desolate grasslands, there is almost a vast desert.

The environment here is harsh, life is difficult, and with disease and disaster, it is literally hell on earth.

However, the lowest sand people in the Shajian Kingdom who were beaten into the "hell" survived tenaciously.

From the west side of the Cangzhi Circuit, there is a vast desert, running north-south, running through the entire western border of the Sand Sword Country, and extending to the Changge Grassland of the Southern Barbarian Sword Country.

At this time, in the middle of the desert, a team of about a thousand people appeared, like a thin black line, spreading from one sand dune to another.

At the end of the desert, there is a cold wind and a remnant sun.

It was already a cold weather in December, except for the dry and icy wind howling and biting, there was not a drop of water in the air.

In order to save physical strength, there are few people who sacrifice swords to fly in the desert, but use the way of riding sand camels.

Of course, this is also a privilege that only a very small number of people have.

……

At the front of the team, two strong sand camels walked in unison.

At one of the ends, there sat an unusually tall man, who looked like a mountain at a glance, giving people a strong sense of oppression, and his own face was unusually rough, with a long beard and a pair of bulging eyes, like two big brass bells.

He wore a black robe, with a pair of black iron armor looming from time to time, and a pair of iron boots sandwiched between the sides of the sand camel.

Wherever he passed, the footprints of the sand camel underneath were extremely deep, which showed his weight.

This person is the Moon Envoy of the Dark Ranger Organization in the Sand Sword Country, named Mouton.

And next to him was a slender middle-aged man.

The man was dressed in red armor and wore a domed two-horned cloud helmet on his head, revealing a slightly dark and emaciated face with two neatly trimmed beards on his mouth.

If it weren't for the armor, he would look like a delicate scholar.

This person is Sha Jianguo's former Zhenbei general - Yan Guan.

Originally, his important task was to prevent the sand people from rioting in the north and maintain the safety of the important towns in the south.

But after the death of the first emperor last year, the new emperor was worried that he was not his confidant, so he was ready to let someone else succeed him.

Yan Guan didn't want to fall like this, so he killed the new official and led his soldiers to flee to the north.

Later, he overheard rumors about the illegitimate son of the former emperor, so he planned to make a comeback and support the illegitimate son to ascend to the throne.

When he raised the banner of returning orthodoxy, he did gain the support of some generals.

The 3,000 soldiers who went out from the north grew to nearly 50,000 after a year.

Of course, most of them are homeless sand-dwellers in the north, for whom it is enough to have a bite to eat and a piece of clothing to cover their bodies.

Moreover, he also received a secret letter from the former emperor's Tuogu heavy ministers, King Qin's return to the dynasty.

The secret letter confirmed that the original heir to the throne was indeed an illegitimate son named Liang Mingfeng.

And his real name should be Sha Kailan, the second son of the emperor.

The so-called return of King Qin to the dynasty is nothing more than to help these old foxes overthrow the current new emperor who is in power, extremely arrogant, and cannot be restrained.

As for King Qin, where is this real king who lives among the people, he searched for a year and did not find it.

Even if there really is, and he is still alive, then it should not be his turn to find it, with the power of the new emperor, he has long been disposed of by Mimi.

In fact, this is also true.

However, for Yan Guan, it doesn't matter if there is such a person, what matters is whether Sha Jianguo and even the people of the world believe that there is really such a person, and believe that the emperor's will is passed down to him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance back at the camel team behind him, and in the umbrella-covered sand sled pulled by four of the gorgeous sand camels, there was a silver-haired young man.

To be precise, he was lying on all fours in a blanket covered with wolf skin.

This man has dark skin and a straight nose, and is quite handsome.

In his arms was a bewitching woman.

Compared to the rough-skinned men of the entire team, the silver-haired boy looked out of place.

This young man was picked up by Yan Guan from a bunch of refugees, and when he was there, he noticed him at first sight, thinking that this might be the will of heaven in the dark, maybe he was the illegitimate son of the emperor.

However, I later found out that he was just born strangely, and he didn't know where his ancestors were mixed with his bloodline, and in his generation, he mutated and grew like this.

Whether it's tone, temperament, or style, it's all an image of a gangster who doesn't learn or know.

It was impossible for the emperor to let his illegitimate son live like this.

However, Yan Guan still picked him up, taught him etiquette, and taught him to read.

And, whatever he used to be called, now he is—

Sha Kailan.

The illegitimate son of the Emperor.

The people of the world need him, and Yanguan also needs him, it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

If there is a day when the foundation can be laid, then he is true.

"Lord Yanguan, we have almost 50,000 people, and it is about to enter winter, and it will be difficult to hide in the desert at that time, should we find a city?"

Mouton's voice was rough, but his mind was more delicate.

Among the 50,000 people here, 3,000 elites were brought out by Yan Guan, but there were about 2,000 people, who were cultivated by their Dark Ranger organization.

It is with their support that Yan Guan can gain a foothold in the chaotic tribes of the north and fight his way out.

Yan nodded his head, in fact, he already had a plan in his heart.

"Ah, Yanguan! Strict view! The silver-haired boy in the back shouted, "I'm thirsty." ”

Yan Guan frowned slightly, raised his hand and signaled for someone to hand him the water bag.

Sha Kailan took the water bag, and as soon as she took a sip, she threw it to the ground.

On the soft sand, the water of the white flowers flows.

The servant hurriedly lifted it up, for fear of wasting any drop of water.

"Yan Guan, I want to drink, I want Peach Blossom!" Sha Kailan stretched out her arms and leaned lazily on the sled.

Yan Guan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

This little bastard really thinks of himself as an emperor?!
