Chapter 41: Wizards

The day gradually dawned, but fortunately there were no wild beasts, and the man lay down on the ground, looking at the color of his legs, the poison should be cured. Yu Zhao got up, packed his bags and wanted to move forward again. As for the man, Yu Zhao looked at him, and he didn't know what to do. When he woke up, he sprinkled a circle of anti-snake and insect spices around him, and turned to leave......

"Don't go ......"

Coincidentally, he woke up at this time, Yu Zhao turned his head to look at him, and instructed: "You follow the red benchmark, and you will meet people's ...... in one day."

The man raised his head weakly, and the yellow sand on his face could not hide his handsome face. "I don't have a horse ......"

That's right, Yu Zhao ignored this, but he didn't want to give him a horse at all. A little more stuff would give him a better chance of surviving, and just as he was thinking about it, the man struggled to get up. Yu Zhao secretly doubted in his heart, he wouldn't grab it, and hurriedly pointed a dagger at him.

Seeing her move, the man was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained gently: "Thank you first, but why do you want to go deep into the desert, there are more dangers inside, it is better to go out with me, I will repay you."

Yu Zhao shook his head and refused: "I have my own purpose, you can go by yourself, there will be people from the government who will follow the benchmark to find it, and you will ask them for help when you meet them."

After saying that, he got on his horse and walked forward, and the man hurried forward to lead the horse and did not let it go: "May I ask who the girl is?" I can do my best if I need help. ”

This person is so strange, he was dying last night, and now he said he was here to help him. Yu Zhao shook his head: "No need to ......"

The man showed a token: "I am the second prince of the Western Fan Kingdom, Ye Geqi, you come with me, I will definitely be able to help you."

That brand Yu Zhao had seen when he met with the king and queen of the Western Fan Kingdom, and the pattern was indeed the same. Thinking of the previous general Zhenguo mentioning the war in the kingdom of Xifan, these two princes were probably chased and killed by the enemy. The dark world is really small, and he still shook his head: "You don't have to ......"

He pointed to his hand holding the reins again, "Your Royal Highness, please let go, I really have something important to do......"

Ye Geqi was still puzzled, wondering why the woman in front of him was not surprised to know his identity, and refused to ask for help, so he walked into the desert with all his might. also kept asking, Yu Zhao was annoyed by being entangled, and showed the token of the Son of Heaven given by Emperor Yuan. "I am acting on the orders of the Great Chu Emperor, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to let me go."

Ye Geqi was instantly surprised, and some didn't believe that this little girl was sent by the Great Chu Emperor, but the gold medal was indeed the same as the one on the totem.

Seeing that he let go, Yu Zhao pulled the reins and wanted to go forward, but he caught up again. "The girl is alone, but she lacks a guide, I have saved people in this desert, and I am more familiar with the terrain than you are."

Hearing this, Yu Zhao stopped, if you can really find a guide, the risk is indeed much smaller, the journey is only a few days, as long as you ensure that you are not attacked by wild beasts, snakes and insects, water and food may be shared with people. So he stopped and asked, "Why are you helping me?"

Jeegi replied: "You saved me, and you will repay your kindness." ”

Anyway, he was unarmed, and he had medicine powder and a knife, so he should have an advantage over him, so Yu Zhao didn't stop him from getting on another horse. Only said: "The order I have taken this time is the secret of Da Chu, His Royal Highness Prince Xie has the heart to lead the way for me, and when I leave the desert, I also ask His Royal Highness not to follow again, and when I return to Da Chu, I will have my own thank you gifts."

Ye Geqi said: "Are you here to help the Chu army surrounded by Burning Xia?" It's not wise to go into the desert alone. ”

That's right, this road is dangerous, who would want to come in and die in vain, and now the only people who go this way are to send intelligence to the Chu army, and it is not surprising that he will be exposed. Yu Zhao did not deny it and did not answer.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jegeqi asked again, "Why are you wearing a mask...... It is a brave move for my daughter's family to risk death to deliver a letter, and it is not a shameful thing......"

Yu Zhao replied casually: "I'm afraid of the sun."

Seeing that she took care of herself, Ye Geqi asked a lot of questions, and Yu Zhao was perfunctory when he could, and silent if he couldn't answer. The man also told him about himself, saying that he was chased and killed by Uncle Wang, and that his father and mother were also wounded, but fortunately he had led the people away so that they could buy time and be escorted to safety by reinforcements.

Yu Zhao thought of the two kind elders of the king and queen of the Western Fan Kingdom, and couldn't help asking, "Can you be sure that the king and queen are safe?"

He replied: "Naturally, my father and queen mother are very loved by the people, except for the control of the power in the capital, the rest of the places are their own people, so as long as they are safe, they can launch a counterattack in the near future......"

Only asked him one sentence, but Ye Geqi said a lot of words, and Yu Zhao reminded: "Thirst will waste water."

obviously looks like a very gentle and elegant boy, but he talks a lot, and he doesn't care if Yu Zhao listens to it or not, just like setting off firecrackers.

Listening to her reminder, Ye Geqi smiled at her, then quieted down and stopped talking. Walking into the desert, it was noon, the sun shone on the entire sand sea white, Yu Zhao was dizzy, a flower in front of him, his body could not use the strength, he couldn't help but stumble, and almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, there was a person next to him who held him up and stabilized it.

Ye Geqi hurriedly handed her the water and said worriedly: "It must be heat stroke, you women in the Central Plains have always been weak, why do you have the courage to go through this experience?" ”

After drinking some water, Yu Zhao felt better. His eyes were dull and he replied: "Because I am more afraid of regret than this pain, I have the courage to face it." ”

I didn't know the answer, and Ye Geqi didn't ask outside, but suddenly saw that she just shook the necklace around her neck and looked at it, Ye Geqi was surprised: "Your necklace was originally my mother."

Yu Zhao found out at this time, and hurriedly hid it, but it was too late, and he heard Ye Geqi's voice raise slightly: "You are the concubine of the Chu Dynasty?"

It is estimated that the queen told Ye Geqi the whereabouts of this chain, and Yu Zhao let him be surprised, and did not deny it. Listen to him again: "This is even more strange, the imperial concubines of the Chu Dynasty are not allowed to come out in the deep palace, why did His Majesty the Emperor send you out to deliver a letter?" ”

Yu Zhao only said: "There are some things that His Royal Highness the Prince can inquire about, and the princess of Great Chu and the people are all favored by His Majesty." When you can do your best to make meritorious contributions, everyone will be the same, and please don't ask Your Highness. ”

Jegery was still immersed in wonder and surprise, but it was much quieter, and in the evening the sun was less bitter and pressing. Yu Zhao took advantage of the last bit of light to run, and walked a long way before nightfall. Looking at the quality of the map given by the guide at the camp, if the direction is correct, at this speed, it should be possible to arrive within the time limit.

At night, the fire was raised again, perhaps it was really due to heat stroke from the scorching sun during the day, and my body was very uncomfortable. As soon as it was dark, the cold air of the desert came up again, and I couldn't tell how uncomfortable I was. Yu Zhao sat by the fire wrapped in a blanket and shivered, and Ye Geqi picked the water bag on the fire and roasted it for her, and drank two sips to make it better. I still can't resist the discomfort and wantonly fill my consciousness, and fall asleep.
