As soon as Long Jie sat up, Long Xiao also sat up. It turned out that he was not asleep either. In the dark, the two of them glanced at each other, and suddenly understood that it must be Nie Wuzheng's men and horses who killed the guards.

At this time, a peculiar smell wafted in. Long Jie Jianghu is more experienced, and immediately understood that it must be those rooster song five more soul incense and other incense. quickly got dressed, and together with Long Xiao, he kicked at the exit of the tent. The tent was kicked to pieces, and the people who blew incense outside the door were also kicked away. Long Jie let out a loud whistle, and Long Xiao's subordinates suddenly woke up, and at this time, Nie Wuzheng's men and horses also rushed over, and in the dark, everyone suddenly fought together.

It turned out that when Long Xiao's army withdrew to the border city, Nie Wuzheng's spies stared at the Shuai Mansion to death. Long Xiao's men and horses disguised themselves as caravans, thinking that they were unaware, but in fact, they were all in Nie Wuzheng's control. Nie Wuzheng waited until they entered Khotan, and then attacked in the middle of the night.

Long Jie stood guard at the door of the tent, using one hand against the people who wanted to enter the tent. At this time, the Khotanese people in the settlement were also awakened, the torches were lit, and the neighing of horses and the shouting and questioning of the chattering were everywhere.

At this time, before he had inhaled much incense, Jia Qianqian, who was asleep, was also awakened, put on his coat indiscriminately, and rushed out to check in a panic. When Long Jie saw Jia Qianqian, his heart suddenly moved, and he flew up and forced one of Nie Wuzheng's subordinates who was fighting with him to retreat, and took Qianqian with his backhand and ran towards his horse.

helped Jia Qianqian to the horse, jumped up himself, and rushed into the darkness.

Nie Wuzheng and Long Xiao, who were fighting in the crowd, both found out that Jia Qianqian was taken away by Long Jie, and they actually had a tacit understanding to leave their respective opponents and go to chase people on horseback together. When Long Jie took Jia Qianqian through a tent where Khotanese lived, he suddenly hugged Jia Qianqian and turned over and fell off his horse, quickly rolling down to the shadow next to the tent. The horses continued to gallop forward, and soon several more horses followed.

Long Jie dragged Jia Qianqian to a Khotanese who was riding a horse and came to check the situation, took out a gold ingot on his body, and pointed to his horse. The Khotanese man was also very clever, and immediately took the gold and gave the horse to you. Long Jie immediately rode his horse with Jia Qianqian and ran in the opposite direction.

They ran aimlessly for most of the night, until the dawn dawned and the horses could no longer run, and the two dismounted.

"Qianqian... Long Xiao hugged her into his arms, and he didn't know what to say in his excitement. Jia Qianqian's mood is very complicated, she let him take captivity, it doesn't mean that she opened her heart, the two went back to the days of love in the past, she just wanted to repay him for the deep affection he had been looking for her for two months in Khotan, and wanted to give him the scepter. Jia Qianqian, who has recovered her memory, although she has sealed her first love Shangguan Lei, but there is also Nie Wuzheng, who has always been deeply entangled with her, and Long Xiao, who has a perverse temperament, at this time she can no longer love someone simply and without scruples.

"Where have we been?" Jia Qianqian broke free of Long Jie and began to look at the surrounding environment. At this time, Long Jie also had the opportunity to ask: "Qianqian, have you recovered your memory?" ”

Jia Qianqian turned his head to look at him and said calmly: "Yes, I have recalled everything from the past. Long Jie, I know where the scepter is, and I will give it to you as a reward for everything you have done for me in Khotan. ”

Long Jie said slowly: "Qianqian, I don't want anything in return from you, I just want you to look me in the eye and tell me that you still love me." ”

Jia Qianqian suddenly turned her head sideways with a weak heart, and then, her eyes widened instantly. The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the surrounding scenery was clearer, and what made Jia Qianqian suddenly shocked was that not far in front of him was the familiar altar, as well as the Sisli settlement behind the altar.

Long Jie looked at her line of sight and asked puzzledly, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Long Jie, let's run." Jia Qianqian remembered the past when he and Nie Wuzheng and Da Niu stole the scepter, was chased and killed by the Sisli tribesmen, and fell into the cliff, and he had palpitations.

Looking at the fear floating on Qianqian's face, Long Jie was even more confused, "Qianqian, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Get out of here, if they chase me again, I'll be doomed." Jia Qianqian hurriedly led the horse over, chose himself as a sacrificer, found the scepter, and later stole the scepter, and was chased and killed by the ghost-faced wizard and fell into the cliff. At the beginning, Long Jie only heard about Jia Qianqian and Nie Wuzheng stealing the scepter and being chased and falling into a cliff, but he didn't know the details at all. Hearing her talk about falling into a cliff, she immediately asked, "Then how did you escape death when you fell from such a high cliff?" ”

Jia Qianqian said: "I vaguely remember that it seemed to be wrapped in something like a fishing net, and then, I fainted after hitting my head on the cliff, and when I woke up, I found myself lying on the edge of the pool, with a very large, very old turtle by my side, and the scepter was still by my side." Later, I buried the scepter by the waterhole, climbed out of the valley, and fainted again, probably because Uzgul saved me at that time. ”

"So, if we find the waterhole, we can find the scepter?" Long Jie was overjoyed.

Jia Qianqian sighed, "But, I don't remember where I came out of the mountain, such a big mountain, how to find that waterhole?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Long Jie also frowned, now, his right arm is not good, he can't use force, and it is naturally inconvenient to climb the mountain. "Let's find a place to stay, and when my arm is healed, let's go look for it."

"Your injury, not a month or two, where can you heal." At this time, Jia Qianqian realized his impulse, why did he forget that his injury couldn't climb?

Long Jie thought for a moment and said, "The valley you can climb out of shouldn't be a big valley. Excluding the valley on the side of the Sisri, there are only three other directions. Let's take a walk around the foot of the mountain and see if you can recognize where it came from. ”

Jia Qianqian also felt that this method was feasible, so she agreed.

The two men mounted again and headed for the foot of the Langhe Mountain. After a night of tossing, Jia Qianqian, who was relaxed at this time, leaned on Long Jie's arms and gradually dozed off. Long Jie hugged her, and walked slowly on the reins, At the foot of the mountain, he woke up Jia Qianqian and asked her to see if the surrounding landscape was the direction she climbed out of. Jia Qianqian looked at it carefully, tried to think about it again, and shook his head. The two continued along the foot of the mountain.

The horses were running around for most of the night, carrying two people again, and at this time they were unable to run, so they could only move forward slowly. After walking along the foot of the mountain for two hours, I did not meet a single Khotanese person. Seeing that the horses were very tired, and the two of them were hungry, they had to get off the horse to rest and let the horses eat some grass. Although Long Jie has money, at the foot of this deserted mountain, he can't buy anything even if he has money. The last time Long Jie searched for Qianqian among the various tribes near Langhe Mountain, he knew that except for the Sisli tribe, which was the closest tribe to Langhe Mountain, the rest of the tribal settlements were at least forty or fifty miles away from here. The Sisli tribe did not dare to approach, so they could only go to other tribes to prepare dry food and water, etc., and then come back to find the scepter.

Long Jie was about to tell Qianqian what he thought, when he suddenly noticed that several horses were galloping over. Could it be that Long Xiao or Nie Wuzheng found it? Long Jie hurriedly dragged Qianqian, trying to find a place to hide. Qianqian glanced at it and said with a smile: "It seems to be the costume of the Khotanese people." ”

Long Jie took a closer look, and the person on the horse was indeed in Khotanese attire. Immediately happy, "That's right, stop them and buy some food." Long Jie let go of Qianqian and greeted the galloping horses. Stopping those Khotanese people, Long Jie took out a few gold leaves and gestured that he wanted to buy food. A man in his forties, who seemed to be the leader, asked in standard Dayan Chinese, "What do you want to buy?" ”

Long Jie was immediately happy when he saw that he could speak Dayan Chinese, and immediately nodded: "Yes, I will exchange these gold leaves for food and water on your bodies." The leading man said a few words in Khotanese Chinese, and several people next to him immediately took down the food and water hanging by the saddle and handed it to Long Jie.

Jia Qianqian, who was standing far behind, saw that he had bought food, and ran over happily. "Long Jie, I bought it, it's great." The excited Jia Qianqian only looked at the things in Long Jie's hand, and didn't notice the surprised and frightened eyes of the leading man on the horse.

A rapid chatter of Khotanese Chinese flew out of the leading man's mouth, and the four subordinates around him immediately surrounded Long Jie, and Xueliang's scimitar was raised. And the leader threw the lasso out and accurately caught Jia Qianqian.

The sudden change made Long Jie shocked, threw away the food in his hand, and jumped up to save Jia Qianqian. But the four Khotanese men who surrounded him with scimitars in their hands rode on tall horses and slashed at Long Jie with the snowy scimitars in their hands, preventing him from approaching Qianqian. Jia Qianqian hadn't recovered from the sudden change, and the person had been dragged by the leading man.

The man lifted Jia Qianqian onto the horse, put him on the horse, and shouted to Long Jie, "Don't resist, your companion is in my hands, if you resist again, I will kill her." Long Jie had no choice but to stop, and said angrily: "Who are you, why did you kidnap her?" ”

Jia Qianqian, who was born to never forget the voice, listened to this leader speak in Dayan Chinese at this time, and immediately remembered that this person was the voice of the grim-faced wizard of the West Sri tribe, because the wizard had been wearing a mask that day, so Qianqian had never seen his face, and only recognized him when he heard him speak. Immediately said with a look of horror in his eyes: "He is the ghost-faced wizard of the Sisli clan!" ”

Long Jie was also stunned, they didn't expect to avoid the Sisli settlement, but they met the Sisli Grand Wizard on the way. If you really respond to that sentence, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. At this time, a man behind Long Jie took advantage of his distraction and put the lasso around his neck. Long Jie, whose right arm was still broken, could only resist with his left hand, and another Sisri man raised Xue Liang's scimitar and slashed at Long Jie.
