Chapter 303: A Flamehorn Man
The piece of gold in Su's hand was square-shaped, shining in the sun, and even if it was left on hold for so long, no other variegated colors were seen.
Shao Xuan didn't have any greed for the appearance of gold, but was more curious. He actually wanted to take the gold over and take a look, but seeing that Su Gu was so tight and so excited, this idea was given up for the time being, and it was better to wait for him to stabilize his feelings.
"Su Gu, have you seen enough? "It's close to the oasis, Shao Xuan is thirsty, and instead of admiring the gold in the sun here, he still prefers to go to the oasis to find a shaded place to drink some water and rest.
Pulled back to his senses by Shao Xuan's words, Su Gu realized that he was distracted from staring at the "stone" in his hand, and quickly wrapped the gold in his hand and put it in an inner bag close to his body, and sewed a hidden bag into the clothes he was wearing today, which was specially used to hold things.
After installing it, Su Gu got up, took two steps and felt that something was wrong, looked sideways at Shao Xuan, looked up and down with his eyes, carefully observed the expression on Shao Xuan's face, and did not let go of any detail, but in the end, what made Su Gu helpless was that he really didn't see a little greed and intoxication from Shao Xuan's face, as if what he saw just now was just an ordinary stone, not a treasure.
"Don't you think that stone is addictive?" Sugu couldn't help but ask.
Shao Xuan shook his head, "I don't think so." ”
"How is it possible?!" Su Gu looked at Shao Xuan again, still the conclusion just now.
Someone could resist its charm?! Su Gu was surprised, and at the same time a little suspicious, could it be that he was the only one who thought that the stone was not addictive? If that was the case, what if the royal father didn't like it when it was a gift for his father?
Shao Xuan's reaction made Su Gu's previous conviction become hesitant. Is he too addicted, or Shao Xuan has no eyesight?
"When you see it. Don't you have a special feeling?" asked Sugu.
Shao Xuan thought about it, and he was surprised.
Seeing Shao Xuan's expression, Su Gu didn't give up and said, "Don't you feel that this stone has a peculiar feeling as if standing in the palace of the royal city and looking down?"
"I haven't been to your palace. Shao Xuan said. At the same time, he also deduced Su Gu's feelings from Su Gu's words. When he saw that piece of gold, Sugu seemed to see power and wealth. Seeing gold for the first time, Su Gu actually had such an awareness, is it really the young master of a city? If you show it to Lei and Tuo, those two are probably more dazed than Shao Xuan, and they feel that this "stone" is not as important as a piece of meat.
"Do you think he will like it if I give this stone to the Fallen Leaf King?" asked Sugu.
"I think he'll like it. "As the king of a city, he naturally has absolute ambition. The pursuit of power and wealth is more than that of others, even if he is only seeing gold for the first time, as long as the Fallen Leaf King Su Lun's preferences are similar to Su Gu's, he will definitely like this "stone" that reflects the golden light.
Su Gu wanted to take it out and show it to the other three to see how they reacted, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and wait until he went back.
Keep going. You can see some scattered grass, which is very conspicuous on the sandy land. After seeing a lot of yellow sand. A pinch of green grass can also make people feel infinitely alive.
The further he went, there was more and more grass on the ground, and there were some trees that were not tall and Shao Xuan couldn't name them. A dozen camels tethered to the trees were eating grass, and not far away, slaves with weapons walked back and forth, staring warily into the desert in the distance. Prevent anomalies.
Shao Xuan and the three followed Su Gu and Wushi to the oasis, and a team of slaves stopped them, and after Su Gu explained, Shao Xuan and the three were able to really enter.
The oasis is not too big, but the defense force stationed in this oasis is probably nearly a thousand slaves. For here, it can be said that it is heavily guarded,
After entering this oasis, Shao Xuan found that there was a team of special slaves inside, about a dozen, and the fabric of each slave's clothes was much better than that of other slaves, even if the other slaves were wearing cloth, they were tattered most of the time, and these dozen or so people, even if the cloth on their bodies had dust and stains, they looked very neat, there was no hole, and there were patterns on the fabric of the clothes. Especially the one in the lead, the clothes were neat, if it weren't for Su Gu saying that those were all slaves, Shao Xuan might really mistake that slave for which slave owner.
"Those are the people around my father. Su Gu explained, "Usually there are not so many people in the oasis, probably because there was an accident here some time ago, so people were sent over. ”
Seeing Su Gu, the man saluted respectfully, his eyes swept over Shao Xuan and the others, seemingly calm, but swept by those eyes, as if they had been grazed by a stabbing knife.
Shao Xuan felt that the other party was very defensive of the three of them, and he didn't have a good impression.
"Third Young Master, are they from the Yanjiao Tribe?" the slave named "Red Stone" asked.
"Yes, the three of them are the ones I worked with, and they came here with me. Sugu said.
Shao Xuan found that when Su Gu was talking to Chishi, his tone was much better, and his attitude was quite different from that of Wu Shi, who was beside Su Gu.
Also, one follows the king, and the other follows the young master, and the status is naturally separated by one level.
"That's it, I hope the three of you can stay away from the spring. Akaishi said. The tone is also hard, and there seems to be no room for maneuver at all.
"Why?" asked Sugu. Although he knew that the others should stay away from the spring pond area, Akashi's words, he sounded a little unusual. Could it be that there is something going on that you don't know?
Chishi didn't answer, just stared at Shao Xuan and the three of them defensively.
"Alright then, let's go to the house over there and get some rest. Shao Xuan didn't wait here, and took Lei Hetuo to the side of the place for people to rest, which was also the resting place that Su Gu had just pointed out to them.
After waiting in the sand hut here for a while, Shao Xuan waited for Su Gu with anger, thinking that Su Gu's conversation with the slave was not pleasant.
"How?" asked Shao Xuan.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Su Gu stumbled a little.
"Third Young Master, I think we are in a cooperative relationship now, but there are some things that I still hope you can tell us. Shao Xuan said.
"Well, naturally, I know that. Sugu nodded.
"Then, Third Young Master, I want to ask, why is that slave so defensive of us?"
Su Gu was about to answer, but Shao Xuan raised his hand to stop, "Don't say that he is the same for people from other tribes, he looked at us just now and told me that he was just extra wary of us Yanjiao people." ”
When the slave named Chishi was asking just now, the word "Yanjiao" was bitten more heavily in his words, obviously there was something about the Yanjiao tribe, but Shao Xuan and the others didn't know.
Su Gu thought for a while, asked Wushi to go out to guard the door, and then said to Shao Xuan: "Some time ago, when water was sent from the spring pool to the city, someone hid in the team delivering water, causing some trouble. ”
Su Gu didn't say it in detail, but Shao Xuan could still roughly guess some, "Could it be that the slave thinks that the assassin is related to us?"
Sugu nodded.
"However, there are only three people from our Yanjiao tribe who have come, and this is known to the other tribes. Shao Xuan said.
"I didn't say it was you, if it was really related to you, you would have been surrounded by slaves. Sugu explained.
"Why is that?" asked Shao Xuan.
"Because of a man related to your Flame Horn. Although he is no longer counted as a member of your Yanjiao by the standards of your tribesmen, he still has a relationship in the eyes of the slave owners and slaves. ”
"Who is that person?" asked Shao Xuan.
"Knife moment. (To be continued......)
