"Weimang, put on a headscarf, it's getting drier and drier here."

Huo Jing pursed his dry lips, looked at Lu Weimang on the camel beside him and said.

"yes, I know."

Lu Weimang tightened the veil on his head and looked into the distance.

This is an endless desert, walking here, dry and hot, the water and land they brought and Huo Jingjing did not dare to move at will, for fear of accidents, and they had to leave more water to feel at ease.

"How long have you been walking, Dawu?"

Lu Weimang looked at Dawu on the side and asked.

"Madame, it's been two hours."

Lu Weimang looked at the compass in his hand, "If we go like this, how long will it take for us to reach Tubo?" ”

Dawu shook his head, "Madam, we came out and weren't ready to go there. And when you are in a hurry in the desert, just keep your head down, don't look up into the distance, you won't be able to stand it. ”

Lu Weimang couldn't stand it at this time. She had never been so desperate on the road. Now that he still has a compass in his hand, he is so helpless in his heart, if Huo Jing leads the team to Tubo at that time, the soldiers will make trouble in the boring yellow sand, but it is not the same as the grassland, they will go crazy.

Lu Weimang looked at Huo Jing with his eyes, and asked with the fire under the impact of the desert drought, "Do you have to go to Tubo?" ”

Huo Jing had a smile on his face, but his eyes were very determined, "Aren't you going to fund the safe house?" With your help, it will be much easier for us along the way. ”

Lu Weimang was discouraged, she knew that she couldn't dispel Huo Jing's thoughts, so she could only do more within her ability.

"Dawu, don't go west, just here, you set the mark, send a signal, and let the person from the previous safe house come and build it."

She and Dawu's safe house plan is being implemented step by step.

In less than half a day's journey from the desert to the west, she would have everyone bring in wood and stone to build a simple safe house. It doesn't matter if the leak is leaky or not, it's important to be tall enough to stand out, and then store some food and water in the safe house.

At the moment, according to Dawu, their group had already walked half the way.

"My lord, it's not far from the last safe house, let's go a little further."

Among the current team, Dawu and his partners are in the best condition, Huo Jing and the black armor guard are obviously not adaptable, but they have been on the battlefield for a long time and can still endure it. Lu Weimang couldn't stand it anymore, her eyes were full of yellow sand, and although Huo Jing was by her side, she couldn't stop the panic in her heart.

"That's it!" Lu Weimang reined in the camel, "It doesn't cost much to build a few more safe houses, but once you set off, this is the last reliance." ”

The group stopped, and the signal flare was issued.

"Come down and rest for a while."

Huo Jingla landed Weimang and sat behind the camel, a small piece of shady, and touched her blushing face distressedly, "You stay in Yumen, let's come here to investigate, but I don't listen to persuasion." ”

Lu Weimang opened the water bladder and took a small sip of water to moisten his throat, "I haven't been here, the more I think about staying in Yumen, the more panicked I become, it's better to come with you." ”

Huo Jing knew that he couldn't persuade Lu Weimang, so he could only take out the dry food and hand it to Lu Weimang, and the two of them sat in the vast yellow sand, enjoying a moment of peace.

"My lord, here they are."

Not long after, Dawu came to report, and a large army came with stone and wood behind him.

They used camels to drive at the speed of a caravan, and the large army behind them was well-fed and ready for work, so they came quickly.

The large army was Yumen and the local young people east of Yumen gathered together, stepped on the route drawn by Dawu and Huo Jing, and came to build safe houses.

The stone and timber were all sent from Kannai for thousands of miles, as if in a relay, and they were delivered from station to station. In addition to Lu Weimang's own financial resources and the support of the imperial court, he was able to transport it smoothly and unimpeded to the lifeless desert west of Yumen.

At night, Huo Jing hugged Lu Weimang and leaned behind the stone to avoid the daily wind of the desert.

The starry sky above his head seemed to be touchable with his hand, so close that Lu Weimang didn't dare to look at it directly, it was too deep, as if he would be sucked into the black hole if he raised his voice.

"Tomorrow you go back with the big army, okay? I have already arrived here, Dawu said that I will be able to see an oasis tomorrow, and after the oasis, it is the scope of Tubo, and when the time comes, I may not be able to take care of you. ”

Lu Weimang shook his head and said stubbornly, "I'll leave when I see the oasis." ”

Huo Jing smiled bitterly and pressed Lu Weimang into his arms, "I've already sent scouts to cross the road, don't worry." Soon, when the leaves were yellow, I would be back. ”

How can Lu Weimang rest assured, nature is so powerful now, and people have no power to fight back in the face of it.

"Okay, I'll go back when I see the oasis tomorrow. When the leaves are yellow, you come back. This year, there will be next year, don't be like when you were in northern Xinjiang, do you know that you are strong in the middle of winter? If you haven't come back yet, I'll take Xiao Huo back to Kyoto, and I won't wait for you. ”

Huo Jing had a smile on his face, "Well, I remember your words, don't worry." ”

After a calm day, when the morning star rose the next day, Huo Jing and Lu Weimang set off again.

As soon as the sun comes out in the middle of summer, it comes out with a flowing fire, so this is the best time of the day to rush.

Sitting on a camel and enjoying the morning breeze, if you don't consider the destination of their trip, Lu Weimang also thinks that it is beautiful to walk around here with Huo Jing, but unfortunately, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes.

"My lord, it's here, look!"

Dawu excitedly pointed to the oasis in the distance and looked back at Lu Weimang.

The group no longer relied on the slow nature of the camel, and began to whip and speed up.

It's really amazing, that is, in the middle of the yellow sand, there is a small oasis, and there are trees, grasses, animals, and a small dark green lake.

Huo Jing bent down and threw a towel to Lu Weimang and asked her to wipe her face.

Lu Weimang took it, and the cool feeling made her feel extremely comfortable.

She looked behind her, at the long queue of lala. There are Huo Jing's black armor guards, who are still coming one after another, and there are also local farmers in Yumen, who are carrying stones and other materials.

A dozen merchants still dare to cross the desert every year to travel between Yumen and Tibet, not to mention the current Daqian Dynasty. There is nothing that the army does not dare to touch.

Lu Weimang threw the face towel back to Huo Jing and rode on the camel, "You go, I'll go back." ”

After saying that, he put on a gauze scarf and began to walk back with a group of farmers and a dozen black-armored guards.

"Young master, aren't you going to send off Madame?"

Lin Chen came to Huo Jing's side and said.

"I'm afraid I'll send her back to Yumen. There is no time, the opportunity is rare, and we have to solve it quickly. When the leaves are yellow, that's when I go back and we never part again. ”

His foundation is not stable enough, and after this battle, it is time for him to enjoy himself with his wife and children in peace.
