Ethereal Academy is located in the southernmost part of the Ethereal Empire, Zhichuan City, two million miles away from Xiangyang City! Based on the calculation of eight hundred miles a day for ordinary horses, it takes seven years!

If you rely on horses to trek, it is obviously impossible to reach the Ethereal Academy on time. After inquiry, Ye Cen Yu learned that in addition to the large transnational teleportation arrays in the Ethereal Empire, there were also small teleportation arrays between major cities. Unfortunately, Xiangyang City does not have a teleportation array.

If you want to reach Shibagawa quickly, you can only reach Yi'an City or Miluo City on horseback, and use the city teleportation array to reach it in an instant.

Ye Cenyu had promised Yan Haojun to look for him in Yi'an City in three years, but now it has only been a few days, if he rushes to be discovered by Yan Haojun, I am afraid that he will be misunderstood, if Yan Haojun asks for a storage ring with a dead face, Ye Cenyu is really embarrassed to refuse. After careful consideration, Ye Cengyu decided to go to Miluo City!

Ye Cen Yu bought some daily necessities and food in Xiangyang City, went to the trading house to exchange some small amounts of Xuanjing, and then after selecting the best horse in the horse market, he found an inn and stayed for one night.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Cen Yu left Xiangyang City and galloped in the direction of Miluo City.

Ye Cenyu traveled day and night for seven days and came to a market town, called Liling Town.

Liling is located on the edge of the Yaseli Desert, and under the influence of the unique climate, the entire market town is dusty all day long, the wind is raging, and the area as far as the eye can see is gray sky.

Ye Cen Yu rode a horse and walked slowly in the market, looking at the sand and soil buildings all around, which was too contrasting with the beautiful scenery along the way, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

A gust of wind suddenly rose, with a whining sound, rushing towards him, Ye Cengyu hurriedly dismounted, led the horse to a tavern, and as soon as he arrived at the door, the guy enthusiastically stepped forward to greet him.

"Guest officer, it's windy outside, please come inside. ”

Ye Cengyu handed the reins of the horse to the man and instructed him to prepare some good feed so that he could feed him alive.

The man led the horse to the backyard with quick hands and feet. Ye Cen Yu lifted the sand curtain and walked into the tavern, found an empty table and sat down.

There were very few diners in the tavern, and judging from the clothes, the coarse cloth clothes were full of stains, and the hair bun was gray and white, which should be all locals.

The guy who ran the hall took a dirty towel to wipe the dust off Ye Cenyu's table and asked.

"Guest, what do you want to eat?"

"Just a few side dishes and a pot of wine. ”

The guy who ran the hall put the towel behind him and said, "Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment." ”

After saying that, he trotted all the way to the food.

In less than a stick of incense, the guy who ran the hall came to Ye Cenyu's table with two plates of dishes and a pot of wine, and gently put the wine and food on the table.

"Guest officer, please use it slowly. ”

Ye Cengyu grabbed the arm of the guy who was about to leave and asked.

"Little brother, I want to ask, do you have to go through the desert ahead to go to Miluo City?"

Ye Cen Yu knew that the climate in the desert was harsh, and if there was another way, he didn't want to enter the desert.

"Guest officer, the Yaseli Desert is a shortcut to Miluo City, if the guest officer is not in a hurry, he can not pass through the Yaseli Desert. ”

The guy replied while pouring a bowl of wine for Ye Cenyu.

"How long would it take if you didn't go through the Great Desert?"

The guy thought for a moment and said, "Well, the Great Desert is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle, and I'm afraid it will take half a year to go around." ”

"Half a year!" Ye Cen Yu took a sip of the wine bowl, and said in his heart: "Don't say that you can't get to the Ethereal Academy as scheduled in half a year, I'm afraid the horses will be tired to death." ”

"I wonder how long it will take to cross the Great Desert?"

"If the weather is nice, you can go out in a month. ”

"Okay, thank you, little brother. ”

Ye Cen Yu put down the wine bowl, took out the money bag from his bosom that was specially exchanged for a small amount of Xuanjing in the trading house, and took out two hundred taels of Xuanjing from it and handed it to the guy.

"No, these are your rewards. ”

The guy took Xuanjing into his arms with a happy face.

"Thank you for the tip. ”

Maybe it was because of Xuanjing's relationship, the guy was obviously much more enthusiastic, and asked with a smile.

"Guest officer, you must be a foreigner. ”

Ye Cenyu smiled and nodded and replied, "Yes, it's my first time here." ”

"Hehe, if you are alone, the little one recommends that you do not go to the Yaseri Desert alone. ”

Ye Cenyu asked puzzledly, "Why is this?"

"There are a lot of poisonous insects in the desert, and it is very dangerous to be alone and have no one to take care of them. And if you are unfortunate enough to encounter a sandstorm, you will lose your way if you don't die. ”

"Oh?" Although Ye Cen Yu was not afraid of any poisonous insects and sandstorms, listening to what the guy said, it seemed that there was a good way, and he couldn't help asking: "Then according to what the little brother said, what should I do?"

"There will be several waves of caravans entering the Yaseli Desert every day in Liling Town, depending on the small view, you can follow the caravan to go together, the caravan is fully stocked, and there are guides who are familiar with the Yaseli Desert. It's much safer to think about. ”

"Hehe, thank you, little brother. ”

"And the guest officer, when you enter the desert, your horse is not needed, you can spend some Xuanjing to keep it in our store, or you can sell it directly to our store. ”

The guy smiled slyly: "Hehe, of course, if you sell it to a small store, the price will be much lower." ”

Ye Cengyu smiled and patted the guy's shoulder and said, "Haha, okay, I don't want the horse, let's pay for this meal." ”

The value of a horse is far more than the price of a meal, don't you know, but he is a sincere person and hurriedly said: "Guest officer, this is unacceptable, these drinks and dishes are only a few dozen taels of Xuanjing, how can they compare to the price of a horse." ”

Ye Cen Yu waved his hand and said, "I don't lack that money, so I should reward you." ”

"Thank you, thank you, guest officer. ”

The beauty in the man's heart bowed a few times to Ye Cenyu, and turned to leave. In less than a moment, a few more plates of good dishes were served.

Ye Cen Yu naturally knew his partner's intentions, so he gladly accepted it.

After eating the wine and food, Ye Cengyu asked the location of the caravan and left the tavern.

Ye Cen Yu knew that the most scarce thing in the desert was water, so he deliberately found a shop to buy ten large wooden barrels, sent the men to drag the wooden barrels to a well, gave some reward, and after sending the men away, Ye Cenyu filled all the ten wooden barrels with drinking water while no one was there, and put them into the jade wrench. Then walk towards the caravan meeting point.

The meeting place of the caravan was very lively, merchants and retinues in various clothes were haggling with the guides, hundreds of horses were lying on the ground lazily smashing their mouths, and a large amount of goods were scattered around the horses.

A caravan of pearl corn is placing its goods on the horses, ready to be pulled.

Ye Cenyu walked up to an entourage who was tying up goods on a horse, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, may I ask, are you a caravan heading to Miluo City?"

The attendant said while tying up the goods, "Yes." ”

"May I come with you?"

"Do you want to come with us?" the attendant stopped what he was doing, pointed to the front of the caravan and said, "I can't be the master of this, the one in charge is in front, you go and ask." ”

"Okay, thank you, little brother. ”

Ye Cenyu passed a caravan of thirty horses and came to the front, and stopped to observe. A young girl was found sitting on a snow-white horse.

The girl was dressed in purple, with a purple cloak on the outside, her face covered with a hazy purple veil, and a huge cloak on top of her head, and black dust curtains fluttering on the sides of the cloak. The face cannot be seen clearly. But in terms of dress, she should be the person in charge.

Ye Cenyu walked to the horse pack and asked, "May I ask the girl, are you the person in charge of the caravan?"

The girl glanced down at Ye Cenyu and nodded slightly.

"I want to go to Miluo City, and it may be dangerous to enter the desert alone, I wonder if the girl can let me go with you?"

The girl thought for a moment, then lightly opened her jade lips and said: "Okay, when you go out, you should take care of each other, but there is no extra horse for the caravan, if the son wants to go along, buy a horse by himself." The caravan set off after a stick of incense, and the son had to hurry. ”

"Yes, thank you, girl. ”

Ye Cengyu got the answer, and trotted all the way to the horse market not far from the caravan assembly place to buy a gray sturdy horse.

The horse is a livestock in the desert, tall and fat, very resistant to heat and hunger, the huge soles of the feet are a foot, although the walking is slow, but the gravity is very strong, and an adult horse is more than enough to carry a thousand catties.

As the caravan was about to depart, the hired guide bowed a few times in front of the caravan in the direction of the desert, and then prayed with a word in his mouth.

After the ceremony, the guide got on the horse and led the mighty caravan into the Yaseli Desert.

Ye Cengyu rode a horse and followed the caravan unhurriedly, listening to the guide singing local songs, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"Hehe, I'm not alone along the way. ”

The caravan had been on the road for two hours, and it was getting dark.

Trekking in the desert is more convenient at night than during the day.

Although it is early spring, the scorching sun is scorching during the day, and the first half of the night is not cold because of the residual temperature of the sand, and the temperature is very cold in the second half of the night, and people and livestock need to rest, so they generally do not rush anymore.

After another half an hour, the caravan stopped, prepared to eat some food, and rested for a while before proceeding.

Thirty-one horses divided into three camps, raised bonfires, and settled temporarily.

Ye Cengyu was invited to the principal's camp to rest.

The girl in purple took off her cloak, combed her loose hair, and took a few sips of the water bag handed by her attendant.

Although Ye Cenyu couldn't see the face of the girl in purple clearly, the girl's eyes were as bright as two black pearls, and Ye Cenyu guessed that there must be a peerless face under the veil.

Ye Cenyu sat next to the girl in purple and asked actively.

"Girl, in Xia Ye Cen Yu, I don't know the girl's name, can I easily tell me?"

"Xiao Ke. The purple-clothed girl replied as she looked at the leaping flames of the campfire.

"Hehe, I always thought that the businessmen were men, but I didn't expect the girl to be a businessman. ”

"Childe misunderstood, the little woman is not a businessman. ”

"Oh?" Ye Cenyu was dumbfounded for a while and asked, "Why did that girl buy so much pearl corn?"
