322 Go through the motions
Queen Loulan's face changed slightly, "Sarah, when did you come back?"
She didn't intend to let anyone else know about the deal with Orochimaru, firstly, to prevent the incident from being secret, and secondly, to ...... It is about the fate of Loulan, which is an invisible burden that not everyone can afford.
The girl bowed her head and remained silent, as if she had made some big mistake.
"I can answer that for her."
Orochimaru glanced at the black leather bags piled up on the ground and smiled, "The time is probably when I take out these things."
"......" Queen Loulan was slightly silent, if so, then the content of the transaction has probably been heard seventy-seven eighty-eight.
Now there is no point in blaming anything, and besides, it will lead to leakage, and the man in front of him has no intention of stopping it, and he should be blamed if he wants to blame.
"Alas......" Queen Loulan sighed, her eyes fell on her daughter, and she said, "Sarah, this matter is not something you can participate in, so you should pretend that you didn't hear it, okay?"
"I want to help you too, Mother." The girl raised her head with pleading eyes in her eyes, "The dragon vein is too dangerous to be borne by Mother alone."
At this moment, of course, she would not blame her mother for selling Loulan and Dragon Vein at a good price, on the contrary, she was very worried about her safety.
These two people are connected to the dragon vein, and they are fighting against the yellow sand storm, what kind of monster is Sara and even their patronus, and they are already so threatening when they are stable, what should they be like if they are ***.
γβ¦β¦ You can't be a part of this."
Queen Loulan didn't treat her daughter like a child, she shook her head and said, "You stay in a safe place, if something happens to me, you will have to carry the burden of protecting the people of Loulan."
She now knew very well that the fundamental reason why Orochimaru was willing to give so much money and provide enough protection was that the other party needed someone who could appease the dragon vein.
This person can be her, or her daughter, Sarah, but it must not be without.
Eggs can't be put in the same basket, only when her daughter leaves Loulan and stays in a safe place, she can do it without scruples.
"......" Sara bit her lip, looking a little unwilling.
In all fairness, she knew that what her mother said was the right thing to do, but if she did, it would be against her will.
Orochimaru glanced at the mother and daughter who were in a confrontation, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking at the little girl's thoughts.
In the final analysis, the current Queen of Loulan is still her mother, and she herself is a fledgling under her wings, and she has not yet belonged to the queen.
What Loulan people, although they shouldn't say that, but if they were placed on opposite ends of the scale with her mother, Sara would prefer the latter.
And this is exactly what Orochimaru needs.
So he smiled lightly and interrupted the confrontation between the two sides, "I think what this girl said is also very reasonable, I have never seen the scene of dragon vein***, the scale is too accurate to estimate, and one more person to help can reduce a lot of risks."
In any case, for this transplant operation, Orochimaru is determined to succeed, and if he has a better chance of winning, he must strive for a better chance of winning.
Hearing this, Queen Huo Ran of Loulan turned her head to look at Orochimaru with a deep doubt in her eyes.
This man is painstaking and lonely, he is a rare smart person, and he will not understand some truths, but even so, he insists that his daughter also participate with him, obviously there is only one possibility.
His first move to the dragon vein was more important than he had imagined.
"Your Excellency need not worry."
Orochimaru noticed the other party's gaze and smiled unhesitantly, "The safety of the two of you, I will find someone to protect you, and I will never let you have any problems."
"After all, I've spent so much effort that I never thought of treating you as a one-time consumable."
"......," Queen Loulan fell silent when she heard this.
This is really annoying to hear, but the other party is also somewhat relieved.
target
Indeed, if the mother and daughter were to be sent to death, the price to pay would be too great.
"Alright, that's the case for now, now that the people in this city are panicking, it's time to tell them the bad news that the sandstorm will come tomorrow."
Orochimaru smiled playfully, "There is still a period of time before the arrival of the ninjas from Sand Hidden Village in the evening, so let them panic for a while, so that they can proceed with the rest of the matter."
As the words fell, Orochimaru stood up from the sand chair, "I also have some things to do, so I won't accompany me for the time being."
"You ......" Queen Loulan stood up, and before she could say anything, the other party had already jumped onto the patio and disappeared into the narrow sky, leaving the two of them in silence.
"Mother, what should we do now?" Sara looked at Queen Loulan, her eyes were full of hesitation and hesitation, and she was a little overwhelmed.
"Tomorrow's sandstorm is bound to come, as he said, and that should indeed be informed."
Queen Loulan sighed slightly, "But it's still a little late, after this great tribulation, at least let everyone rest and have a meal in peace."
After that, you can also be mentally prepared.
β¦β¦
Dusk is approaching, and in the desert, the prelude to the night is a rapidly decreasing temperature.
In order to illuminate and warm, Loulan's conference hall lit torches early.
Under the swaying light and shadow, the figures are longing, and the atmosphere is a little dignified.
Sitting around the round table, a middle-aged man with a square face said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, is this thing true? And tomorrow the storm will come?"
Queen Loulan shook her head, "I don't have any reason to lie about something that can be proven at dawn."
The middle-aged man continued, "But before that, you didn't have the ability to predict sandstorms."
In fact, he doesn't really question Queen Loulan, there is no need to question what he can know tomorrow, he can look up at the sky and know that the kind of prophecy that will happen in a few decades, and asking everyone to tighten their belts and make dedication, is what needs to be thought about and questioned.
However, I am still a little unwilling.
Because Queen Loulan is not just talking about tomorrow, it is not clear what will happen the day after tomorrow, but there is a high probability that she will still encounter a sandstorm.
This means that either the Loulan people have mutated and evolved to adapt to life in the sandstorm, or they have chosen to leave.
How difficult it is for the former, and if it can really be done, why gnaw the sand here, it has long since rushed out of the country of wind and walked towards the prosperous ninja world.
But the latter thing means displacement, although it is better than dying in a sandstorm, but it is not much stronger.
Not only the middle-aged man, but also the others frowned, psychologically unwilling to face the unknown fate after leaving Loulan.
"I didn't make a prediction, but an interpretation based on the will of the dragon vein."
Queen Loulan glanced around at everyone, "Tell everyone, it's also to brainstorm, work together, and find a suitable way out."
Although Saiba is nominally the queen of Loulan, in fact, the power in her hands is not so great.
Loulan's tone said that it was a kingdom, but in fact it was more like a village, and she was the village chief and Wu Zhu of the village.
The biggest difference between her and ordinary people is that she does not produce and has a high prestige because of her sacrifice to the dragon vein.
This kind of major event involving Loulan's future, her words carry a lot of weight, but after all, she can't decide it in one word.
In the "......" conference hall, the atmosphere was slightly silent.
Having lived in the desert for so long since I was a child, I don't know how difficult it is.
This is not the beautiful "I am the wind, you are the ...... sand" in the ballad, but more "the dry corpse, the wind blows".
After a long silence, the middle-aged man who had asked the question before spoke,
"There are also several small oases in the four corners of Loulan, and everyone knows these locations, so if you divide the people of the village into several parts and scatter them, and survive there for a while, you may be able to avoid this disaster. After all, this sand
Violence can't hover around Loulan forever."
To be sure, this method has a certain chance of success, but it also divides Loulan's power.
Although the dispersion into several parts reduces the risk of the total destruction of the Loulan people, this method is too risky for some people.
For example, in this room, some people are more responsible for the work of the city, less traveling, and know less about walking in oases and deserts, and the distribution of those who know how to do it means that their probability of survival will be directly related to the level of that person.
Everyone knows who is strong and who is weak, and they all want to go to the high-level team, and this distribution itself is not fair, and some people immediately raised objections.
γβ¦β¦ The sandstorm for two consecutive days is obviously unusual, so let's not be separated, because there is a lot of strength in numbers, and we can take care of it."
"Yes, yes, besides, staying in the oasis all the time is not a thing, and it is different from staying in Loulan all the time, leaving here, we also need to live."
"Why don't you cruise in the form of a caravan, there are more than a dozen camel beasts in the city......
γβ¦β¦γ
The crowd brainstormed and came up with various methods, but in any case, it was not possible to satisfy the majority.
Seeing this situation, Queen Loulan sighed slightly in her heart.
Change is difficult, who is used to living in Loulan, and who wants to be suddenly displaced, these grievances are not directed at the method itself, but from the fact that they want to leave Loulan.
After thinking about it, Queen Loulan spoke, "There is still some surplus food in the city, and you can think about the future of Loulan after you go back tonight."
"But it's best not to take more than three days, it's not easy to control the dragon veins and fight the sandstorm."
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and the second sentence could be said to be a nonsense, how simple it was to fight against such a terrible natural disaster, even with the help of the power of the guardian spirit.
For the rest, the food is okay, but if there is no protection from the dragon vein, and you suddenly encounter a sandstorm, you can almost declare death.
But this is actually the same in the desert, and it is even more dangerous, because there, there is no dragon vein to protect them, and they have to rely on themselves to face the wind and sand.
And now that time is limited, we can only focus on the big and let go of the small, and we can't wait any longer.
γβ¦β¦γ
Considering the risks alone, this is almost a dead end, and the most appropriate way is to stay in Loulan City for the past two days, and send a few people to the desert to see the movements.
Anyway, you can't stay in Loulan City forever.
γβ¦β¦ Since everybody agrees on this approach, let's do it."
Queen Loulan nodded slightly, "After dawn tomorrow, send four villagers to explore the way in four directions......
"Knock knock knock ......"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and without waiting for the people inside to speak, the young man outside the door pushed the door in, looking excited.
"Queen, ladies and gentlemen, it's the ninja village of the Sand Hidden Village, and they seem to know about the sandstorm we have encountered."
"What ......?"
Queen Loulan pretended to be surprised, Huo Ran got up, and the others couldn't hide their joy.
Putting aside the sandstorm for the time being, now that the ninjas from Shayin Village are coming from outside, they must know the news outside Loulan.
If you can save four expatriate villagers, not to mention the accidental death of them, this time saved is very important.
"......" Queen Loulan looked around and said in a deep voice, "Let's go out and have a look."
β¦β¦
On the square covered with yellow sand, the eyes of the four generations of Wind Shadow Luo Sha swept around, a trace of shock flashed in their eyes, and the sand ninjas beside him could not hide their surprise on their faces.
Although the population of Loulan is not large now, the city of Guloulan is not small, and it is even worth half of Shayin Village.
But such a large city is now completely covered in yellow sand.
"Kazekage-sama, there's something unusual here."
A female ninja with orange sideburns stepped forward beside her and said, "That's a big deal
If the sandstorm is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, I am afraid that only the human pillar force of the crane guard in this world can do it, and I suspect that this may have something to do with the Xiao organization."
Kazekage Raksha glanced at the other party and said nonchalantly, "It's a little possible, but let's wait for more information before making a judgment."
This female ninja is one of the most powerful forces in the village, and she is called Hakura, who is in control of Scorching, and she is a strong candidate to compete with him for the Kazekage.
It is precisely because of her existence that after she took office as the wind shadow, Luo Sha's position was not stable, so she was forced to accept Chiyo's mother-in-law's human pillar power plan.
The past is like smoke, and there is no need to care about the original grievances, and Wind Shadow Raksha thinks that he will be able to rely on this transaction to reverse the decline of the village and gain unprecedented prestige, so he has some thoughts and takes Ye Cang as his subordinate.
Although this woman is a little naΓ―ve, her strength should not be underestimated, she is by no means below him, and she is an excellent thug.
Of course, this time he brought out to act, but also to show that he attaches importance to this storm, but this purpose does not carry enough weight.
γβ¦β¦γ
Queen Loulan rushed over with a group of people in stride, and saw the wind shadow Luo Sha at a glance...... The clothes.
They don't know Kazekage, but there are no unclear people in the ninja world about this dress.
Queen Loulan was slightly shocked in her heart, she was just going through the motions, he was able to directly let Fengying come over, how much energy did this man have.
