Chapter 247: The Road is Long
Gubei sent Mu Lu and the mage Chi Erdun to lead ten tribal elites to Loulan. Jing'er also has to go to help. Gu Bei knew that she was because of Gu Dong, so he didn't stop her.
Gubei instructed Mulu and Chierton to balance the forces on both sides as much as possible and be impartial, and at the same time asked them to take good care of his son Gudong.
Mei Liyuan sent Mei Lao Er, Han Zixin's subordinates, and Mei Lao San and others to go together. He warned Han Zixin not to make trouble in vain during this trip, and to obey the orders of the second Mei.
Han Zixin agreed happily on the surface, but in her heart, she was thinking about how to kill Luo Feng and the others after getting the treasure.
Mu Lu and his entourage arrived at a town in Guyangguan in Loulan ahead of schedule, waiting for Luo Feng and his party, Mei Lao Er and others. This town is the only way to enter Loulan.
Mei Lao Er and the others converged with the people and horses led by Mu Lu at noon on the second day.
Han Zixin saw that Luo Feng and his party were not late, so he suggested that everyone enter Loulan to investigate first.
Mu Lu wants to find the treasure, but it is not enough to find the jade Bodhi in the old and second-hand charm, but also needs the exquisite golden pagoda brought by Luo Feng.
Qingxue also reminded Han Zixin not to forget their instructions before leaving.
Of course, Mei Liyuan knew that Qingxue was a descendant of the lord of Loulan. Because judging from the words left by the lord of Loulan, the blood of the royal family is required to open the door to the treasure, so he asked Mei Lao Er to ensure Qingxue's safety. Mei Liyuan also sent a phantom beside him to follow Mei Lao Er to secretly protect Qi Shan. He also warned Han Zixin not to cause trouble on this trip.
Qi Yan's life and death are unknown! Qi Shan is dead, so Mei Liyuan thinks that Qingxue is the only one left in the royal bloodline!
Luo Feng and his party traveled a long way, and finally arrived at the town of Guyangguan after three years. There are only a few scattered merchants left in the town. They provided food and water to merchants passing by.
Seeing that all the people had gathered, Mu Lu ordered to enter the hinterland of Loulan. His men and horses led the way in front, Mei Lao Er and others were in the middle, and Luo Feng waited for Ruan Hou.
Luo Feng and his entourage left the horses and carriages in the care of the town trustees. They rented three camels to carry their belongings. Gudong climbed on a tall camel. Qi Yan and Brother Quan each rode a former colonel
The vast Gobi is endless. They crossed the desert to a ruined city. The houses here are still there, but they are thick with sand.
"It's cold at night! Everyone chooses their own house to move in! Mulu said loudly.
Luo Feng and Gu Dong took a fancy to a courtyard where there were five prefabricated houses. Everyone cleaned up briefly, and then, without caring about a little dust, they went to rest.
Muru ordered people to find a nearby water source. Gu Dong and Han Zhao sat in front of the board room to rest.
Muru walked into their compound. Gu Dong and Han Zhao opened their eyes at the same time.
Gu Dong walked quickly towards Mulu, and before Mulu could speak, he pulled him out of the courtyard.
"Young master! This is what the Boss asked me to bring to you! Mulu handed Gu Dong a bag of baba and two bags of jerky.
"Don't reveal my identity in front of others!" Gu Dong looked at the thing in his hand and grinned.
"Yes!" Mulu Shili then left.
Gu Dong opened a bag of jerky and ate it as he walked. He walked over to Han Zhao and sat down, then put the bag of jerky into Han Zhao's arms.
"Why did he give you this?" Han Zhao ate a piece and felt that it tasted good.
"Last time, I went to Meizu territory with Big Brother Luo to negotiate a joint treasure hunt. I thought their stuff was delicious, so I asked Mulu to buy some for me! Gu Dong had to tell a lie. He didn't want others to know that he was a Meizu person, and he didn't want to reveal his identity as the son of the Meizu leader Gubei and her background.
Jing'er did want to go to Gu Dong, but Mulu told her not to go, so as not to reveal Gu Dong's identity.
Gu Dong had already seen Jing'er in men's clothes. But there were so many people here that he didn't go looking for her.
Night had fallen, and the temperature in the desert had plummeted. Han Zhao entered the house. Gu Dong got up and went to find Jing'er.
Jing'er didn't sleep in the house. She leaned against the camel in a sheepskin jacket and a blanket. Gu Dong walked up to her, and she realized.
"East!" Jing'er's eyes were shining, and the joy in her heart was all written on her face.
"Is it cold or not?" Gu Dong tucked the blanket for Jing'er.
"I'm not cold! Look at the tip of your nose that's red! Jing'er reached out from the blanket and touched Gu Dong's nose.
"I'm used to the desert climate." Gu Dong sat beside Jing'er. They snuggled up to each other and whispered.
There is always light in the desert at night. Luo Feng and Qi Yan woke up early.
"It's cold, let's go out and practice swordsmanship for a while to warm up our bodies!" Luo Feng pulled up Qi Yan.
When Gu Dong came back, he happened to see Luo Feng and Qi Yan dancing with swords. Luo Feng's swordsmanship is free and flexible, while Qi Yan's swordsmanship is sharp and domineering.
Gu Dong leaned against the ruined courtyard wall and watched with great interest as Luo Feng and his wife tried their swordsmanship. Luo Feng's swordsmanship was slightly superior, but he didn't use all his strength, so he and Qi Yan were tied.
"Sister-in-law's body is fast! What did she let you do? Brother Luo! Gu Dong saw that the two of them took their swords and walked into the courtyard.
"Your sister-in-law's internal strength is also above me!" Luo Feng smiled slightly when he heard this, but he was not angry.
Nie Yang and Tong Jing had already lit the linoleum and charcoal they had brought to protect them from the cold. They baked the food and distributed it to everyone.
"Until we find a water source, we save water." Luo Feng reminded.
"I brought a lot of wine!" Gu Dong opened a jar of wine and took a big sip, and then he covered it with his heart.
"How much do you have to drink?" Tong Jing said.
"Next!" Gu Dong threw the jar of wine to Tong Jing. Tong Jing also drank it politely.
"The water here has dried up! Let's go now! "Muru gave the order with the map in his hand!
"Let's go!" Luo Feng and Nie Yang extinguished the fire with sand, and then packed up the linoleum and charcoal that had not burned the embers and followed everyone to the front school
Brother Quan, who was riding on a camel, was also looking at the map in his hand. He knew that Mulu was going to take them to the Altun Mountains in the south.
White, it's hot in the desert. Everyone walked hard. Qi Yan asked Luo Feng to ride a camel, but Luo Feng smiled that he was not tired. No matter how tired the others were, no one rode the camel, and the knights were always good-looking.
Luo Feng looked at Qi Yan, who was walking side by side with him, and persuaded her to sit on the camel to save her strength.
Qi Yan wanted to go. She had lived in the desert before, and it was not difficult for her to walk in the desert.
While everyone was resting, the people sent by Mulu to fight the front station came back, and they met an old man. The old man, at the foot of the Altun Mountains, has a source of water.
Mulu told everyone the news. Everyone was delighted to hear this exciting news.
Mulu led everyone to the foot of the Altun Mountains. Sure enough, there was a river that passed under the Altun Mountains. Everyone filled the water bag with water and washed their faces and hands. There was a look of joy on each Rao's face.
Mei Lao Er took out the thirty-six words of paper on the jade Bodhi written by Mei Liyuan and looked at it.
But he couldn't tell whether the treasure was lying on the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain. He asked Luo Feng and Mu Lu to be invited.
Luo Feng and Mu Lu looked at these thirty-six words, but they didn't figure out the exact location of this treasure.
Luo Feng took out the Linglong Golden Pagoda for everyone's reference. The three of them didn't think that this exquisite golden pagoda was of any use.
Mei Lao Er took out the jade Bodhi from his arms. Luo Feng looked at it for a while and said, "Could it be that there is a temple or a Bodhi tree on this Altun Mountain?" ”
