Chapter 972: Where Is the Old Man?

Out of the national temple, Baili Yuanjia went to the princess's mansion.

I always feel that Jinling City, which has no hundred miles of Chang'an, is deserted everywhere, and it is clearly the same as before, but it is not similar after all.

Sitting in the courtyard, Baili Yuanjia looked at the pigeons flying past the roof, "I wonder if they have found Sister A?" Now, where is it?"

"The spies came to report that they had been out of the customs earlier, and now they are missing." Liu Yu replied in a low voice.

Baili Yuanjia sighed, "Oh, out of customs?"

Outside the border, it should be more free, right?

The sun sets on the horizon, the wind and sand outside the gate are heavy, and the desert is like smoke.

Qi Yue rode a camel and walked slowly on the sand dunes, followed by Qinglong and Xuanwu, the two of them sweated like rain, their faces were swollen red, but fortunately, the sun was setting, and the temperature would soon cool down.

"There's a town up ahead." Qinglong looked at the topographical map, "Childe, can you go over there and have a look?"

Qi Yue nodded, "Let's go!"

The town in the desert is not big, relying on a few wells can live a large number of people, to receive merchants, earn some silver and rations, life is quite stable, after all, such a place, and not involved in the war, as long as the wells are not dry, groundwater and energy continue to gush out, they can continue here from generation to generation.

I entered the inn and asked for three single rooms.

In a big place, the room is also very narrow, a bed, a table, chairs and benches, it can be regarded as a full life, but in such a place, it is not enough to sleep in the open air, and it is already very good to have a place to shelter from the wind and sand, and there is nothing to find fault with.

Along the way, they have eaten too much wind and sand, and they have really eaten enough!

The night in the desert is actually very dangerous, especially when you live outside and occasionally encounter wolves, you really can't cry, and you don't want to sleep all night......

When eating, I sat in the lobby, and there were other guests, some of whom were passers-by, some were merchants, and some were Jianghu people.

This is a hundred miles away, and there is only such a town, which means that everyone tries to settle here.

Some people are here to hunt for treasures, and the legends in the desert are one after another, endlessly, and how many people want to get rich overnight, they have to hollow out their minds to fish for things underneath.

Some people just watch the excitement, and when they pass by this neighborhood, they want to be lively, and they will say the things they hear and see along the way.

Qi Yue sat there with Qinglong and Xuanwu, listening to the people at the next table muttering jokes, the words in the desert were a little jerky and difficult to understand, but fortunately, they were all people who walked the rivers and lakes, and they had also come into contact with many ethnic groups in the desert in the past, so they didn't understand it completely.

Especially Qi Yue, in the early years, his father specially asked someone to teach him about many languages and scripts of neighboring countries, so that he would not be hindered that day.

They said that a while ago, the wind and sand rose, and a strange lake appeared on the east side, which was full overnight, and disappeared without a trace the next morning.

"Really?"

"Really, really, I drank two sips of water, but when I went back, I couldn't find anything."

"What else can happen?"

"No, it seemed to be a little green at the bottom of the slope, like a tree, but ...... It can't be a tree buried under the sand, right? I was in a hurry, so I didn't look for it, and when I came back, I tried to look for it, and I ran all around, but there was only sand left, and I didn't see any trees.

"If you see it badly, it's an illusion that you can't drink water, right?"

"Who knows? At that time, I was alone, and it didn't matter if I said too many people, but you also had a problem with your brain."

"Say, could it be some kind of treasure buried in the ground?"

When they heard this, they were silent.

Baby?

That can't be heard, if it's true, aren't they rich?

Thinking of this, the two turned and went upstairs.

Qi Yue picked up the cup and drank water unhurriedly, but Qinglong and Xuanwu realized in their hearts, it seemed that they had something to do, but they didn't know, could these two do it?

Turning his head to look around, Qi Yue silently twisted his brows, noticing the movement of these two people, not only the three of them, but also a few people from the rivers and lakes, this will be head-to-ear, I don't know what I'm talking about?

Not only that, but they also paid attention to the guest room upstairs, I don't know if they want to shoot directly?

Or do you cast a long line to catch big fish, follow slowly behind, and wait for these baits to be released?

Either way, you can't let this bait run away, and ...... You have to watch a little bit, lest these good deeds spoil their good deeds and end up messing up the situation.

Back in the room, Qi Yue sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the candlestick on the table with heavy eyes, and gently stroked the purse in his hand with his fingertips.

When did he realize something was wrong?

It's not the words of Baili Yuanjia and others, except for Baili Chang'an, he doesn't trust anyone, even if it's a little emperor, but ...... He found one thing, that is, the few jade beads that Baili Chang'an collected, the things brought out of the ancient tomb, disappeared?

She was always in her intended position, and she couldn't easily lose it unless she was taken away......

So the question arises, why take it away?

Yes, she's still alive!

No, she must still be alive!
