Suboda means "vigorous", and the Suboda Desert is also perennially enthusiastic, and even hard rocks will be crushed into fine sand.

"Crackle!"

Wen Ye lifted the curtain of his hat and looked around vigilantly, followed by a "snap" across the silent desert.

"Second brother, what's that sound?"

Wen Jian pulled down the headscarf on his face, his lips were dry from the scorching sun for half a day.

"It's the sound of rocks cracking, and the rocks in the desert crack with a crackling sound caused by the scorching sun for many years, and the stones eventually turn into sand over the years. ”

"Is it really that powerful?"

Wanzhao sighed, she wrapped herself so tightly that she only showed a pair of novel eyes, looking straight at the raised rocks in the desert, which was unbelievable.

"Indeed, under the hot and cold attack in the morning and evening, the hardest granite will also be crushed."

Qingtian nodded in response to the evening light, he had seen the scene of rocks cracking one after another on the Yin Mountain on the border of Liangzhou, which was very spectacular.

Everyone walked slowly in the yellow sand, and at first they would see one or two poplar trees, or shrubs that could not be named, and a few scorpions were caught and eaten in the clear sky, which caused a wave of disgust in the evening sun.

It wasn't until he really entered the Subuda Desert that Wen Ye felt what a dead desolation was, there was only the scorching sun and the boundless yellow sand between heaven and earth, and there was nothing alive except for them.

"Third sister, the desert on the edge of the desert is getting more and more serious, the imperial court still needs to pay attention to it, and it is better to deal with it as soon as possible."

Wen Jian muttered to herself worriedly, Bi Xiao turned his face away, the Holy Lord had already sent Lord Yan to Youzhou to control the sand, and he would be idle if he was not an official, which was really unfounded.

"Hmm."

Wen Ye replied weakly, Mo Yan heard that she was very tired, her back was slightly bent forward, looking very uncomfortable, Mo Yan drove the camel close to Wen Ye.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Wen Ye half-squinted his eyes and became confused, and when he heard Mo Yan's voice, he woke up most of the time, lifted the curtain of his hat and shook his head and replied.

"No, I'm fine."

Mo Yan frowned, when her stubborn temperament could be changed, people couldn't help but worry about her.

"Drink some water."

Mo Yan handed over his water bag, Wen Ye squeezed an ugly smile and waved his hand to refuse.

"No, I still have it here."

Wen Ye picked up her water bag and shook it, it was empty, it turned out that her water had already been drunk.

"Give."

Mo Yan struggled to stuff the water bag into her arms, Wen Ye uncorked the bottle and took a big sip, stuffed it back into the cork and handed it over, not forgetting to add a polite thanks.

"Thank you very much."

Mo Yan took the water bag, and felt a little irritable in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were in the desert at this time, they really wanted to treat her politeness to herself, but for now, let her rest as soon as possible.

"To the chief, stop at the next sand dune and rest."

"Yes."

Bi Xiao responded to Mo Yan's words, and immediately negotiated with the villagers who led the way in the local dialect to reconfirm whether there was any danger in staying here.

Everyone rode their camels over another sand dune, the camel bell gradually became closer, the two leading camels were already standing in the dunes, the camel team also stopped one by one, and a dozen people on the camelback came down to rest.

Wanzhao and Xiaochun helped Wen Ye to sit on the leeward side of the sand dunes to rest, Wen Jian followed over to check Wen Ye's situation, Qingtian instructed the Ming guards and Kun guards to count the dry food, drinking water and goods on the camel's back, and the other six guards took turns to patrol the sentry.

Mo Yan waved his hand to summon Qing Tian over, Qing Tian came over with a filled water bag, Mo Yan waved his hand to sit beside him, and asked eagerly.

"Why is the third lady alienated from me?"

Qingkong thought about it and found that this matter was a little difficult to do, judging from the words of the evening photo, the young lady felt that the little marquis knew the secret of the "Mid-Mountain Pavilion", but at present, the little marquis only suspected the identity of the young lady's businessman, and did not ask him about the "Mid-mountain Pavilion", so for the time being, he couldn't spread out the matter, and could only replace it with something else.

"The little marquis's actions yesterday were afraid that the little lady was scared, and his subordinates were also shocked at that time."

Mo Yan was a little confused, he didn't expect Wen Ye to be afraid of blood, after all, she had been working for Emperor Yan, and she would inevitably interrogate prisoners.

"The work of extorting confessions was all done by me and the Kun guards."

Clear Sky continued to add, he had thought that Mo Yan would not be completely convinced by such a statement, and it would be okay to simply say it in detail, anyway, he didn't tell a lie, and it didn't hurt to blame him in the future.

"Blame me, I didn't control it."

Mo Yan somewhat blamed himself, Wen Ye was not a person in the rivers and lakes after all, and it was normal that he was not used to seeing blood, but he didn't think it through.

"Do you know about my mother?"

Mo Yan said this, and the clear sky understood his intentions, although he didn't know exactly what happened back then, but he knew that his mother Luo Yao was injured by the enemy spies.

My father mentioned two sentences. I don't know why the little marquis asked this? ”

Mo Yan touched his nose unnaturally, he really couldn't say anything to the clear sky, but it would be more convincing for him to mention it.

"You mention it to her, lest she think crankily, she will know about the Mo family sooner or later."

Qingkong nodded in agreement, got up and walked to Wen Ye's side.

At this time, Wen Ye eased up a lot, Wen Jian smiled secretly on the side, he admired his third sister, but why was he so nervous that he sweated so much that he almost became dehydrated.

"Second son, the master is uncomfortable."

Wanzhao expressed her dissatisfaction, and couldn't wait to tell Wen Ye about vomiting yesterday.

"Here we are, the second son go and rest."

Xiaochun also glared at Wen Jian after speaking, and said that the doctor was benevolent, and the doctor in front of him didn't even have basic sympathy, and the young lady really treated him in vain.

"Here's salt, add some to Miss's water bag."

Bi Xiao handed the paper bag wrapped in salt to Wanzhao, Wen Jian immediately came over and said in surprise.

"You still know this?"

Bi Xiao didn't reply to him, just twisted his face and motioned for Wen Jian to come with her, Wen Jian couldn't help but follow her, and Bi Xiao stopped on the sand dunes not far away.

"What's the matter with me?"

Bi Xiao stood on the sand dunes for a while, and when he looked back, he was still smiling, and said angrily.

"Don't laugh, as I talk to the two villagers about the route in the future, we have already made a little detour in the wrong direction today, and we will definitely not be able to reach the place where the caravan disappeared before dark."

Wen Jian immediately smiled after hearing this, and followed Bi Xiao to the camel team to communicate with the two villagers, and the situation was similar to what Bi Xiao said.

"In this case, we won't have enough water with us, so we can only find a water source and replenish it before we hit the road."

Bi Xiao nodded, asking the two villagers in the local dialect where they knew the water source. After a few words of communication between the three of them, Bi Xiao said a place.

"Not far away there is a dilapidated ancient city, which is said to have been the ancient city of Shuofang for thousands of years."

"Okay, just go there."

Wen Jian nodded in agreement, he had also heard of that place, and there was a great possibility of a water source. The place where the ancients once lived means that there was once plenty of groundwater, and if you are lucky, you will find a lake or something, and no matter how bad it is, there will always be a deep well.

The midday sun was sinking in the west, and they had already survived the hottest time. Wen Ye took off his hat and drank some light salt water, relying on the evening sunshine to close his eyes and recuperate, the smile on the corner of his mouth was very obvious.

"I'm fine, since he is willing to ask Qingtian to explain to me, he obviously doesn't want to delve into this matter."

"Master, you can rest quickly, this dehydration can be big or small, you ......"

Wanzhao whimpered as she spoke, Xiaochun pursed her lips and sighed, Miss just ordered her to be sincere.

"You let Miss rest more, I'm here."

Wanzhao nodded and walked towards the camel caravan, wanting to have a good talk with Bixiao and buy some rest time for the young lady.

Xiaochun wiped his cheeks with a moist silk towel for Wen Ye, Wen Ye was half-lying on the sand dune with a turban under him, a tall figure shielded Wen Ye from the scorching sun every day, Xiaochun looked back and stood up.

"Little Marquis."

"I'll do it."

Mo Yan took the silk scarf in his hand, Xiaochun retreated not far away, Wen Ye opened her eyes when she heard Mo Yan's voice, she happened to have something to ask him.

"Those four spies last night, the clear sky said that you sent it to the governor's office."

"Well, they're dead soldiers, so I can't ask for any more information."

Mo Yan said lightly, without yesterday's anger and excitement at all, Wen Ye was stunned, what made him change so much yesterday.

"The third lady is not hiding from me?"

Mo Yan approached and wiped the sweat from her neck for her, Wen Ye began to get up unnaturally, lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, and only replied after a while.

"I didn't hide, but you suddenly appeared...... Some are not comfortable, can you tell me why you came to Liangzhou? ”

"What else can it be, the wife who has been married for less than half a month suddenly ran to the desert in the northwest, this time it is January, and he wrote a letter of peace to his husband and came back, do you think he can still sit at home honestly?"

A trace of grievance flashed in Mo Yan's heart, he left Beijing without permission and chased all the way to the desert, she actually asked him why, this feeling was very strange to him, almost something he had never experienced.

"You're here for me?"

Wen Ye looked at Mo Yan in disbelief, at this time, Mo Yan's side face was close to her, so close that Wen Ye could see the hair on Mo Yan's face, the cold jaw, and the blazing eyes, every place gave Wen Ye a lot of shock.

"What do you think?"

Mo Yan turned his head suddenly, the two looked at each other, the tip of their noses touched lightly, Wen Ye quickly bounced away, but his body was weak and he could only turn his face away, not daring to look at Mo Yan again.

"Miss, take a rest for a cup of tea, and then set off for Shuofang Ancient City."

Bixiao's voice came from behind the sand dunes, Wen Ye came back to his senses slightly, and Mo Yan didn't know when he had stood up, looking at her affectionately with a smile on his face.

"Little Marquis, you are also here."

Bi Xiao climbed over the sand dunes and saw Mo Yan, knowing that something was wrong with him, and just about to turn around and leave, Mo Yan stopped Bi Xiao.

"Chief, let the caravan rest for half an hour, and you take my men to explore the road first."

Bi Xiao thought for a while and nodded, Xiao Houye's people she saw yesterday, they are all rare good hands, and many of them are from Liangzhou, they must not be too unfamiliar with this desert, and Miss can rest more, this idea is really good.
