In the sixth year of Sheng'an, Dongling Guoshi watched the celestial phenomena at night and opened a proverb: Those who win Xuanlan will win the world.

Since then, the rebellion of Dongling, Yunzhou, Northern Regions, and Xuanlan has begun-

The vast desert north is approaching dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the continuous sand dunes. In the vast Gobi Desert, the caravan carrying goods slowly advanced in the wind and sand and camel bells, accompanied by the constantly tumbling sand and dry wind, all the way to the east, leaving a string of crisp camel bells.

The sun was setting late, with the wind and dust all the way, and at this moment the caravan was already tired, and after the leading camel stopped, the steward dismounted and arranged for the people to prepare a bonfire, which was only a day's distance from the destination, and planned to rest here tonight and continue the journey early tomorrow morning.

This caravan came from Sifang City, and Qi Junyu, the third master of Sifang City, personally came out to escort him, and Qi Junyu was the third brother of Qi Yong, the city lord of Sifang City, so he could let him go out in person, so you can imagine how important this trip is.

Speaking of Sifang City, everyone in the Four Kingdoms knows about it, so the area of Sifang City is not large, it is about the same size as Xuanlan Kingdom, but the lords of the Sifang City dare not offend Sifang City. Just because Sifang City is located in a key position at the junction of the four countries, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Twenty years ago, the four countries fought for the Sifang City for many years, and since then the Sifang City has been in chaos, until five years ago after Qi Yong occupied the Sifang City, now the Sifang City is solid, which country wants to grab it can not get cheap, at the beginning of the year, the monarch of the Sifang City and the city lord discussed the agreed conditions, the Sifang City is no longer the enemy of the Sifang City and agrees that the Sifang City belongs to the Qi family, but the Sifang City must let the caravans of various countries pass. Just because if you want to go to the country in the west, you have to go through the west of the city of Sifang to the traffic fortress, Huo Yong agreed to come down on the premise that he would collect tolls, and in the end the monarchs of the four countries had to compromise.

The team had been walking in the desert for three days, and the men and horses were exhausted, so they dismounted and set up camp on the spot, set up tents and raised bonfires.

The sunset covers the land, the desolate desert is covered with a soft halo, and the caravans chat around the campfire while eating. It's just that in this vast desert, greed and danger are also buried in the sunset—

After a sharp eagle whistle, hundreds of people suddenly rushed out from behind the dunes.

They were dressed in earthy yellow clothes similar to the color of the desert, and each of them held a scimitar in their hands and cut them when they met someone, they didn't look like ordinary robbers and bandits but a well-trained team, and it didn't take long to surround the entire caravan, and the number of people on the two sides was too different, especially the guards of the Sifang City didn't come out much this time, and it was difficult for them to escape if they wanted to break through and have goods.

The leader of the group came out of the group on a swarthy horse, his hair was disheveled, and his sword eyebrows were starry, but there was a scar on his face from the middle of his forehead that pierced the bridge of his nose, which ruined the originally handsome face. He had a scimitar hanging from his waist, and he was dressed differently from the others.

As soon as Qi Junyu saw that it was him, he immediately scolded loudly: "Luo Hao, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you dare to come to intercept the goods without looking at whose goods this is!"

The leader of the other party turned out to be the one who took over the grudge a year ago, and when did he have more bandits in this area.

"Hehe, Lao Tzu intercepted the goods of your Sifang City, I heard that your goods this time are not simple, so bring the brothers over to take a look, and if you know each other, quickly hand over the goods!" said arrogantly and uninhibitedly, as if he didn't take Sifang City in his eyes at all.

Qi Junyu was so excited that he immediately became angry: "No one on this road who is more famous than you dare to come to rob, and you are also worthy of coming out to fight against our Sifang City." ”

"Humph! They are afraid of your Sifang City, Lao Tzu is not afraid, this time I have inquired, your freight is a pure spirit bead, hurry up and hand over the pure spirit bead, and wait a while I can leave you a whole corpse! "Looking down condescendingly, his eyes are cold.

"It's too arrogant, you-" Before he finished speaking, Qi Junyu noticed a change in his body, and suddenly there was no internal strength in his body.

Luo Hao's eyelids raised, and when he saw his face change, the corners of his mouth opened: "Hehe, the water you just drank was softened, and it's also your stupidity, the strangers in the team don't know, now you don't have any internal strength at all, it will take an hour to do it." ”

"Shameless!" pointed at him and scolded, and blamed them for being careless.

Luo Hao didn't speak anymore but waved his big hand, and the men behind him rushed up, and in an instant, the sound of cries for help, the neighing of horses mixed together, the dust was flying, the sound of weapons colliding, the sound of pain, and people fell from time to time. The blood immediately stained the yellow sand under the feet, the evening clouds gradually closed on the horizon, the west wind was cold in autumn, and the sunset was full of sores.

Not far behind, a girl sat on each of the two horses in front, followed by a camel strolling leisurely, the person on the camel had only a pair of closed eyes covered with a cloth on his face, and the camel bell was tinkling for a long time, and he was not affected by the outside world at all. The two people in front could obviously see what was happening not far ahead, but they were still very calm, not afraid at all, and had no intention of turning around and leaving.

"Master, do you want to help?"

Ah Man looked sideways at the back, she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a big red dress, with a dagger at her waist, long braids hanging down her shoulders, and a feather diagonally stuck in a small hat embroidered with gold silk on her head. Dressed in a bit like an interracial costume.,Straightforward and impulsive.。 But he is as light as a swallow and has a good light skill. These days they are walking in the desert, bored and looking for something to do.

The person on the hunchback, wrapped in a hemp cloak, did not answer, and only opened his eyes slightly when he heard Aman's question, and his eyes did not fluctuate at all when he saw such a chaotic scene of fighting, as if he did not see or hear, and closed his eyes again, obviously unwilling to participate.

Another girl in light green clothes on another horse next to her frowned slightly and said, "Aman, don't worry too much, let's take a detour." ”

This trade route in the desert brings wealth but also full of dangers, and such robberies often happen in the desert, and it really doesn't matter who has the energy to manage, not to mention that their masters have always been unwilling to do much and don't want to be good people.

Ah Man stuck out his tongue and found that Jingyue's temperament is now more and more similar to her master, and she won't think about practicing and ignoring mundane things in the future, so wouldn't she be bored to death.

She shook her head, sweeping away the cranky thoughts in her mind, but her eyesight was excellent, and she immediately pointed excitedly when she saw the flag of the Quadrangular City fluttering in the convoy.

"Jingyue, that must be the people of Sifang City, only their team has that mark, don't we also have to go to Sifang City when we go north this time, and the master will personally hand over the things to the city lord of Sifang City after serving Tianzun? Why don't we help them, and the people in the Sifang City have a relationship with our Tianzun. ”
