Chapter 355: The Mysterious Man
Under the moonlight, Lan Xin and Xie Zifeng, one of them supported the other, and walked forward with difficulty, and not far away, a figure was watching them.
As if there was a sense, Lan Xin always felt that there was someone behind him, and immediately turned his head to look, the figure had disappeared in an instant, Xie Zifeng asked puzzledly, "What are you looking at?" ”
Lan Xin shook her head: "It's nothing. He turned around again.
"How far do we have to go?" Lan Xin asked.
"It's coming soon." Xie Zifeng was also tired and out of breath.
The two moved step by step, and finally came to the place where Xie Zifeng was looking for a foothold, it was an abandoned earthen house in the desert, half of the house had been buried by the wind and sand outside, the walls had also been blown and weathered a lot, and there were several broken places on the roof, as soon as they looked up, they could see the starry sky outside, the moonlight shone in through these holes, but it was also bright, and what made them feel happy was that there were still a few logs here.
I finally lit these woods, it was already late at night, and I was busy for most of the night, and I was finally able to sit down and catch my breath, probably too tired, and several people fell asleep groggily.
The snoring gradually sounded, there was no wind and sand, there was no sound of insects, everything here was quiet, at this time, the figure appeared again, this time, he came directly to a few people, stopped in front of Lan Xin for a while, and then bent down, took all the baggage of several people in his hands, turned around and left.
The sun gradually rose, and the light outside woke up a few people, and the first to wake up was Lan Xin, although there was no comfortable bed, but in this kind of place, to find such a place to stay and sleep, it was simply a five-star treatment.
Stretched a long lazy waist, thought of Mo Yan, and quickly turned his head to check, just as Mo Yan also woke up, the two looked at each other, smiled slightly, and said softly to each other: "Wake up." ”
The sweet appearance of the two of them happened to be seen by Xie Zifeng, who had just woken up, and he called a nest fire in his heart, so he sat up and shouted: "You two are endless!" In the morning, can it make people's eyes clean and clean! ”
This voice startled Mo Yan and Lan Xin, and also startled the sleeping Ye Han, and after waking up, his eyes were full of panic: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? What happened? ”
This startled and startled them again, and the three of them gave Ye Han a roll of the eyes, Ye Han was stared at inexplicably by their gaze, reached out and grabbed his hair, and looked at them innocently: "What are you all watching me do?" Is there something dirty on my face? ”
"You don't have any dirt on your face, but there's dirt here, and you can't stay for a moment." Xie Zifeng said angrily.
"Since you're all awake, let's go, it's better to leave this kind of ghost place as soon as possible." Xie Zifeng said, and was about to go to get the luggage, but when he looked down, the luggage was gone, and he panicked, thinking that he had put it in the wrong place, and hurriedly searched for it in other parts of the house.
Xie Zifeng was really panicked now: "Where's the luggage?" What about our luggage? ”
Only then did everyone realize that there was nothing around them, and the luggage was really gone, and Lan Xin panicked: "How can this be?" ”
After speaking, he hurriedly ran outside, there were still endless sand dunes outside, and beyond that, he couldn't see anything, inside the house, Mo Yan stared at a shallow footprint at the door.
"Footprints?" Ye Han leaned over and said.
"Is there anything different about this footprint?" Ye Han continued.
Xie Zifeng saw this footprint, his brows were tightly locked, and he said: "Last night, the two of you came in with the help of Xin'er, so you can't leave such a complete man's footprints, and the size of my footprints is slightly smaller than this, so this footprint is not between any of us." ”
"Not our footprints? Who would that be? Ye Han said puzzled.
After saying that, I realized the seriousness of the matter, last night, someone came to them unknowingly and took away their luggage!
"Oh my God! Who has such a high level of kung fu that they can quietly and silently take away our things? Ye Han exclaimed, and after speaking, he thought of something again: "All the money we eat and drink is in the baggage, without luggage, we are in this desert, aren't we going to be trapped to death?" ”
How could everyone not be aware of this problem, and fell into silence for a while, everyone's hearts were extremely heavy, how should they go next?
"I'm afraid this footprint was also deliberately left by that man." Xie Zifeng said thoughtfully.
"If that's the case, then we don't know what danger awaits us later." Blue Heart is also heavy-faced.
"That's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that we came to hunt for treasure, and only the four of us knew about it, and we didn't tell anyone other than the four of us, so how did that mysterious person know?" Xie Zifeng said the question in his heart.
"Is it a death?" Ye Han said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then everyone shook their heads again, and Mo Yan said: "It won't be him, this talisman was given to me by Liyan, if he doesn't want me to get that batch of treasures, he can not give me runes, there is no need to give me runes, and do this kind of small action behind my back." ”
"Nothing is impossible, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, not to mention that the rune was given to you when something happened to Xin'er, and now that Xin'er is safe and sound, can you still guarantee that he is willing to hand over such a large number of treasures to you?" Xie Zifeng pondered for a moment and said.
"I can guarantee it!" At this time, Lan Xin suddenly spoke, and his tone was very affirmative: "I know best what he is a deceased person, he does everything above board, and he will never do such a villainous thing." ”
Looking at Lan Xin's determined expression, Xie Zifeng opened his mouth, but finally did not refute him, paused, and said: "Okay, let's talk about the mysterious person's affairs later, now, should we discuss whether we should continue to move forward or go back." ”
"We don't have any luggage, so we must go back! Otherwise, we will find the treasure and die of hunger and thirst. Ye Han said hurriedly.
"Keep going!" Lan Xin also expressed her opinion, and seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lan Xin continued:
"Whether we go forward or backward, we need food and water, and we know very well that there is no water source or a grain of food to eat, so we can't hold out where there is food and water. And ahead we will soon be through this desert, and as long as we cross the desert, there is great hope to find food and water. ”
After Lan Xin finished his thoughts, everyone glanced at each other, Xie Zifeng first stood in front of Lan Xin, and said very firmly: "No matter what decision Careful Er makes, I promise to be with Careful Child." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Moyan.
"What Xin'er said makes sense, we have no way out now, only by moving forward, can there be a glimmer of hope, so I also choose to be with Xin'er." Mo Yan said.
In the end, everyone's eyes were all focused on Ye Han's body, and Ye Han was stared at by them uncomfortably: "What are you all looking at me for?" I didn't say I wouldn't go, I just expressed my little thoughts, since you don't agree, then I'll go with you, anyway, I can't get out of this desert alone. ”
There is no choice to compromise, Lan Xin continued: "Since everyone has no objections, then let's go, in addition, in this desert, sunlight will make people lose water quickly, so before leaving, everyone covers their skin with clothes, try not to expose the skin, and keep the moisture of the body from dissipating." ”
After everyone was ready, they glanced at each other and embarked on the journey together.
They are struggling in the desert, and far outside the south, at this time also fell into dire straits, there is no ink rock in the south, close to the emperor and the queen mother, it is difficult to support, the border has been repeatedly violated, but in ten days, dozens of cities have been lost, the border was once urgent, the emperor is also anxious to turn, but there is not even a person around who can take it to defend against the enemy.
Helpless, the emperor had no choice but to discuss with the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, if it goes on like this, the entire southern kingdom will be divided by them." ”
"Damn it! They just think that I have no generals in the south, so they dare to be so presumptuous! "The queen mother is also angry, she is just confused, and she knows that her glory and wealth are all dependent on the south, as long as the south is there, she can always enjoy the glory, but once the south no longer exists, she will be the queen mother, not only that, but her fate is likely to be miserable.
The emperor looked at the Queen Mother worriedly, thought for a moment and said, "Queen Mother, can we use their power?" ”
The queen was stunned for a few seconds, and then said, "You mean ......?"
The emperor nodded, neither of them said the name, but they both knew who it was - the Seven Evil Palace.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that they couldn't contact Hongqing, which made them completely panicked, could it be that the Seven Evil Palaces had given up on them?
It's just that they don't know that the Seven Demon Palaces don't have the strength to pay attention to them at the moment, they now have three pieces of blood jade in their hands, and there are two pieces of blood jade left, one is in the Dongfang family, and the other is missing, and the most important thing for them now is the piece of blood jade in the hands of the Dongfang family.
And those who went to the Dongfang family to carry out this task turned out to be commonplace.
