Rong Qing barely paused, stood up directly, rushed to her side, took the letter in his hand and read it.

The letter was written by Zhao Li, and she said that she was in a place called Xihe Town, and in addition to asking him to pick her up, she also asked him to bring more silver.

Rong Qing turned around and asked Kang Zhishan: "Where is Xihe Town?" ”

Kang Zhishan thought about it, the name seemed a little familiar, "It seems to be a town in Gu Xuanguo." ”

The ancient Xuanguo is north of the junction of the Chen State and the Apocalypse, close to the Northern Wilderness. Although there is no war, it is not a strong country because of its remote location and sparse land.

"Find someone to lead the way." Rong Qing didn't want to wait for a moment, so he was about to leave to pick up Zhaoli.

"Childe still took the antidote first, and the fifteenth poison period is coming." The medicine veteran handed over the antidote in his hand.

This time, Rong Qing did not hesitate, took the antidote and swallowed it.

Since Zhaoli was kidnapped, Fluttershy is so worried that she cried, and Shang Yang persuaded her for several days, but she didn't get better. Two days ago, he fainted, and Shang Yang quickly asked the doctor to take a look, only to find out that Fluttershy was two months pregnant.

For the sake of the baby in her womb, Fluttershy manages to recuperate for a few days.

Knowing that Zhaoli had written a letter, she couldn't wait to get up and go to the front hall to ask, Shang Yang was afraid that she would fall, so he was nervous to protect her all the way.

"Slow down, beware of falling!"

"Miss, she doesn't know what's going on, what if she's hurt?" Fluttershy holds Shang Yang's arm in one hand and the hem of her skirt in the other, and rushes to the antechamber in a panic.

When he walked to the front hall, he saw Rong Qing and others coming out of the house.

"Uncle... Uncle—" Fluttershy hurriedly walked into the courtyard and asked anxiously, "But there's news from Miss?" Where's she, Miss? ”

Rong Qing didn't speak, but Yuan Mo said, "Miss Fluttershy, don't worry, your young lady is in Gu Xuanguo, and Childe is about to set off to pick her up." ”

"I'll go too!"

When Shang Yang heard this, he panicked. Thinking that she was pregnant now, the doctor said that she came in and was overly worried, and the fetus was unstable and needed a good rest, so he hurriedly stopped: "Don't go!" If you are really worried, I will go with my son. ”

"No need, just go to Yuanmo." Rong Qing said lightly.

Fluttershy was about to say something more, but Shang Yang pulled her back, "Go and have someone prepare something for them to use on the road!" ”

Fluttershy looks back at him, but doesn't say anything more, turning around and going to the backyard to get something ready.

Kang Zhishan takes Yao Lao back to Yusuzhai, and Shang Yang and Fluttershy see him off at the door. Seeing the carriage walk away, Fluttershy wiped her tears and said, "I hope Miss will come back soon, I don't know how much I have suffered outside." ”

Shang Yang stroked her shoulder and sighed.

Luo Agen is a merchant who specializes in buying goods from other places and selling them in various towns, and after a long time, some people will take the initiative to ask him to buy some of what they want. Two days before he had set out for another town, and it would be several days before he returned.

After staying in Xihe Town for many days, Li Niang was afraid that Zhaoli would feel bored, so she took her around, chatted, and told her many legends about the Northern Wilderness.

Zhaoli listened to it with relish, and he couldn't wait to see it with his own eyes.

"If there are these things, why don't you see them running to the Central Plains?" Zhaoli wondered, she had heard Feng Nianyan say when she was a child that the Northern Wilderness was a desert, and ordinary people would not be able to survive if they got there.

"Because there is a big river at the border of the Northern Wilderness, called the Yeqi River. It is said that the gods in the sky deliberately placed it there in order to prevent the monsters of the Northern Wilderness from going to the Central Plains. ”

The more Zhao Li listened to her, the more mysterious he became, and he said with a look of disbelief: "How can there be any immortals?" ”

"Don't believe it, I heard that the lord of our ancient Xuan Kingdom has seen immortals, but these immortals are far away in the north, and they don't come to the world easily."

“......”

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Li Niang said again: "If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see the Yeqi River, anyway, it's not far from us, you will understand after you see it." ”

"Good!"

Li Niang took a few pieces of boiled mutton and two scones from the kitchen, poured a large bag of water, and led a camel out with Zhaoli.

Occasionally, the wind and sand in the desert will be very strong, and Liniang asked Zhaoli to change her clothes a few days ago, and she was riding on a camel in red clothes at this time. The camel walked very slowly, the bright red gauze skirt was stirred by the wind, and a belt with copper sheets was tied around the waist, and the copper sheets jingled with every step the camel took, and the sound was very good.

The sun is not very hot in the morning, and occasionally a gust of wind blows on the dunes, rolling up a layer of yellow sand and spreading it on another dune.

Although the desert is all yellow, orange and orange, it is extremely spectacular to look at, standing on the sand dunes, you can make people sigh that the world is magnificent and boundless. The sky was blue, and the earth was yellow, and it seemed that there was no other color but blue and yellow, except the red on the camel's back.

I don't know how long I walked, but the sun had risen to the sky, and now it was late autumn, but it still felt a little hot.

"Sister Liniang... How far is it? Zhao Li shouted at the top of his voice.

The two of them were not far apart, but they still had to speak loudly to be heard.

After hearing this, Li Niang glanced back and said, "It's almost there!" It's right in front. ”

It's fast, but it's actually about half an hour away.

In front of me is a raised rocky mountain, the color of which is also yellow, orange and orange, similar to a sand dune. The two parked their camels at the foot of the rocky mountain and climbed up the rock wall with their bare hands.

Liniang has grown up here since she was a child, climbing the rock mountain is not a difficult thing for her, and Zhaoli is also good at martial arts, although she is a little tired, she doesn't feel difficult.

When Zhaoli climbed to the top of the rock mountain, Li Niang was already standing in front with her waist crossed.

"Whew... Exhausted! Li Niang exhaled, gasping slightly.

Zhaoli walked up to her and patted the yellow sand on her dress, and when she looked up, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

In the distance is a huge river, meandering and surging with silver glistening in the scorching sun, like a Milky Way. It was majestic and galloping towards the north. On the other side of the river was a wasteland, more vibrant from a distance than the desert they were, at least with some vegetation and trees, not the bare rocky hills she had imagined.

"How? Isn't it spectacular? Li Niang glanced at her with a smug smile.

It is indeed magnificent, such a big river, I am afraid that even the water snake can't swim it.

"You don't want to be a monster over there, do you?" Zhaoli didn't see anything strange in the Northern Wilderness after watching it for a long time, the strange thing is that he couldn't even see a bird, and there was occasionally a vulture on the desert!

"Of course you can't see it, it's all hidden underground!" Li Niang pouted and said.

"How do you know you're hiding underground?"

"My father told me that the monsters in the Northern Wilderness can't bask in the sun, and they will only come out at night."

There are many legends about the Northern Wilderness in the ancient Xuan Kingdom, including the monsters that talk about the underground of the Northern Wilderness. Some say it's an earth dragon, while others say it's a very large snake. As for what it is, there is no way to verify, no one dares to go to the Northern Wilderness, and no one has come from the Northern Wilderness.

The two sat down to rest on the top of the rock mountain, and Li Niang took out the prepared mutton and scones and handed them to Zhaoli. After coming for a few days, she liked the custom that people here always eat meat and drink wine, so she took the mutton and began to gnaw it.

After resting for a long time, Liniang stood up and said that she would go back early, if it was late, I was afraid that I would not be able to get home after dark. Zhaoli then got up and patted the sand on his body, and when he turned around, he looked up and saw the direction he came from, and the originally blue sky suddenly appeared a piece of gray, which was constantly extending towards them.

Zhaoli reached out in surprise and patted Liniang's shoulder, and when she looked up at her, he pointed in the direction they came from.

"Oops! It's a sandstorm! Li Niang's face changed instantly, and she looked around in a panic to find a place to hide.

But there was no place to hide here, except for rocks and sand, not even a tree.

Li Niang walked to the rocky mountain by the river and looked, there was a steep rock wall below, and then there was sand. If you don't hit the rock wall by jumping, you probably won't get much damage, but it's hard to climb up again after jumping.

She thought about it for a moment and decided to lean against the rock wall and hide in the crevices of the rocks below, so that the sandstorm would be blocked by the rocky mountains when it came.
