"Smack!" A ......

His iron palm was firmly grasped by a large hand, and he couldn't move at all.

Du Tianyuan raised his head blankly, and the giant man in front of him also looked at him expressionlessly.

"Good, good! Don't you even let you die? ”

"Bang dang!" With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

After the iron armor hit the wall, his whole body seemed to be out of his body, and his head hung down, and he didn't even look at his son.

Captain Du was frightened by this sudden change and stood in place.

Everyone looked at General Du speechlessly, and they didn't say a word.

Half-night......

"Get up!"

Old Man Su's voice was like a muffled thunder coming from the distant sky!

Du Tianyuan raised his head slowly, one intact eye was dark gray eyeballs, and his eyes were still blank.

"Do you want to die? Easy. But first, ask the adult. ”

“…… What the? ”

Du Tianyuan looked at the direction of Old Man Su's finger with a chaotic gaze, and the black-haired man ...... But I was thinking in my heart - even if I can die, I have to ask others if they agree?

His gaze lingered on the man's face for a long time......

Suddenly, in that dead gray gaze, it seemed that he saw something strange!

His heart shook violently.

The dry throat suddenly made two "grunts", and his eyes began to focus, and he examined it carefully.

The man's face was pale and bloodless, but there was a glint in his eyes. And the straight black hair covered half of his face.

"Well, who are you, ......?" After he looked left and right, the muscles of his face trembled, as if he didn't dare to confirm it.

"Don't you even recognize the master of Sand City? In vain, you have served as the commander of the royal guards for so many years. ”

Su Xingtian asked sharply again.

Du Tianyuan has no doubts at this moment!

"Plop" and knelt down in front of the black-haired man......

Captain Du, the general's son, felt like he had been slapped in the face, and his mouth opened wide on his stiff face!

This is really an ironic slap in the face.

When he suddenly came to his senses, he also fell to his knees in a hurry.

This man is the master of Sand City? He never thought that this person who had confronted him at the door for a long time, and who had spoken disrespectfully to him, but had taken him captive, was actually the master of this sand city!

After countless tribulations, the down-and-out prince of Sand City has finally returned.

It was getting dark late in Sand City, and a ray of light was about to disappear behind the mountains.

General Du Tianyuan's mansion, in a reception room with an incomparably large space.

“……”

"So, the enchantress is still in there?"

General Du nodded: "I haven't seen her for a long time, even the emperor, maybe she hasn't shown up for a long time." ”

"Hmm...... In this way, this is not a trivial matter. If she weren't the culprit of all these evils, there would be no second possibility. We've got to get to the bottom of it! At least know that the emperor is now alive or dead......"

After speaking, Old Man Su looked up to the sky and sighed again.

It is an ironclad fact that there is no one in power in the city for a long time.

The persecuted patriarchs died and fled.

The people's livelihood withered, and all kinds of commercial exchanges and civilization exchanges were also maintained intermittently and half-dead with other parts of the mainland to a minimum, almost making the order of Shacheng and the civilization that had lasted for hundreds of years have regressed for more than ten years!

Put it this way—

"Today's way is to take a risk and go to the emperor's palace to seek answers."

"No!"

General Du shook his head: "If you want to find out what the truth is, you must not alarm them!" It had been stationed by the priest's men many years ago, and it was absolutely impossible to enter it directly. The sacrifices under her command are all powerful, and they are also magical! ”

"Hmmm! What is sorcery? Raven asked.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but, according to the handymen who carried the food for the day, they were gathered in the warehouse after entering the palace to deliver the goods, and I can't remember what happened after that. By the time they came to their senses, they were already in the square of the city! ”

"So, did they come out on their own?" Raven asked again.

"No, it was the priests who escorted it out. Everyone was dazed and delirious. They had forgotten all about the past. General Du replied.

The raven muttered for a long time: "That means that they don't know anything about the scene in the palace......"

"What has this demon girl done all these years?" Old Man Su gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Phew!" He spat on the ground.

"It's a big deal, let's go in together and capture her alive."

"Nope." General Du shook his head and said.

Old Man Su snorted: "Why? Can't we catch her with our powerful men? ”

"Someone has already tried. Have you forgotten? Those generals are well-equipped and have a large number of men...... They are role models. ”

General Du thought of their deaths, but he was still alive, and his heart was gloomy.

Raven suddenly said, "Now, if we could know where the enchantress is?" What we are doing is the priority, and what we lack is critical intelligence on this! ”

"Well, that's right. Before his death, General Long Wei had said that his soldiers had been recruited by the demon girl to a secret place, and ...... The soldiers never returned. ”

"Huh? There is such a thing! ”

Old Man Su said curiously: "It seems that this demon girl really has a lot of unknown secret and dirty deeds!" ”

"Well, but, I inquired in many ways later, and nothing like this happened......"

Raven said, "Is there anything strange going on in this sand city lately?" For example, why did I find that there were fewer merchants around me wherever I passed? ”

General Du thought for a while and said, "Something strange?" Well...... Perhaps because there has been no one in charge for a long time, people-to-people exchanges and the economy have also been depressed. Alas—do you know what a prosperous scene this sand city was? ”

"At that time...... Under the rule of your father, the Emperor, this is the largest trading hub within a radius of thousands of miles, and together with several large towns in the surrounding area, it supports a population of nearly 250,000 people, which can be called the crown of the desert! I didn't expect it to be like this now. ”

General Du lamented while reminiscing about the prosperous scene of the past.

"Ahh That's right. You just said something strange, and I remembered one thing. ”

He suddenly woke up from his memory: "A few months ago, my subordinates reported an incident - in a small village near Farm 15 in the south, several villagers went missing. However, I later sent someone to investigate, but no clues were found there, and the matter was closed. ”

"Oh? Was there anything else like that before? Chen Liuwang said suddenly.

"Hmm...... So, it seems that there were some missing persons a year ago, but you know what? Not to mention this sand city, I don't know how many things like this happen in the Central Continent every year! Won't cause much attention at all! ”

Chen Liuwang knew that what he said was the truth, and in this troubled world, this kind of thing was simply too common.

It's just that those who are almost all merchants or travelers on the road will happen.

And the disappearance of villagers who have a fixed residence is very strange, and it will attract people's attention.

……

There was a cacophony of footsteps outside the door.

"General Du, a spy came to report, saying that there is an emergency!" A herald shouted outside the door.

"Huh? Is it an emergency!"

General Du's brows furrowed, and he strode out.

Everyone was at a loss, wondering what to do.

Another rush of footsteps interrupted the solemn thinking of these people, and General Du returned with one of the guards.

"You tell me about it again." General Du ordered a little impatiently.

The guard looked around the room with horrified eyes...... The people in the room knew at a glance that they were all big people. He was a small guard, and he would never have seen so many big people at once.

"About a week ago, we were ordered to ...... Go outside the city for exercises. It was all smooth at first, but my leg was injured during the trip, so I didn't keep up with everyone and stayed in a town to recuperate. I would say that because they were scheduled to come back the day before yesterday, but they haven't been back until this morning! ”

The guard was a little incoherent, as if he had finished speaking, and as if he had something to say.

"Well, you mean what's going on? Have they been delayed, or are they ......" Raven suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Those people are missing and haven't been returned. That's what you mean to say, right? Old Man Su asked with a slight frown.

"Yes, yes! That's what I meant......" The guard nodded.

Everyone stared at him, as if they were touched by the news and were thinking.

Sure enough, something unusual is happening in Sand City these days. But where do you start?

Do we need to send another person to investigate this?

"Wait!" The sound of a raven.

"There's something I'd like to ask......," he said slowly, looking at the guard.

"Who sent you out to practice?"

"Huh?"

That's right! General Du suddenly realized that he had not known about the exercise before.

Everyone also had a sense of seeing the light of day – as if they had touched on some sensitive issues.

Things still have to be remembered from the root before they can be judged.

The raven broke the crux of the matter with one word.

That's right, this question is too important!
