Chapter Eighty-Six: The Gobi
As soon as Udo's words came out, the woman's eyes widened in horror, "You can't do this to me, the Kretti clan was left to me by your father, and he said it before leaving......
"If he had known that you were such a foolish woman, he would not have left the Creti clan in your care!"
Udo stepped forward and grabbed the woman's neck, the strength in her hand became greater and greater, the woman's strength in slapping her became smaller and smaller, and her face turned purple, and just as the woman was about to swallow, Udoland gritted her teeth and threw her onto the coffin of Arishan.
"Someone, send the old lady back, she will not be allowed to see anyone without my order in the future, let alone take a step out of the house!!"
"Udo, you are my daughter, you can't !! me like this."
The woman hugged her leg and pleaded, but there was only deepening hatred and disgust in Udo's heart, and when the woman was pulled out of the mourning hall, peace finally returned.
Wu Duo took a deep breath and turned her head, she gently patted Ah Rishan's coffin with tears in her eyes, and murmured, "Little sister, Sister will never let go of anyone who forced you to death, you can watch from your father and grandfather's side with peace of mind, and see how Sister Ah makes their lives worse than death!!"
On the other side, on the border town of Ancient Domain City.
Si Nanchen finished his military affairs and returned to the rented inn, at this time the twilight was getting thicker, there was no sunlight in the house, and there were no lights and candles, it looked extremely dim, Jiang Jifeng sat in the corner, if it wasn't for Ah Chen's habit of scanning the room first when he entered the house, I am afraid he would not have been able to find him.
Before Jiang Jifeng could speak, Si Nanchen felt that something was wrong with him today, and while lighting the lamp and candle, he asked, "Brother Jifeng, what's wrong with you?"
The beating lights lit up the small room, and half of Jiang Jifeng's body was hidden in the dim corner, and he looked at him, his eyes full of worry.
"The informant reported that Nanyue had lit the code, and she wanted to see us."
Si Nanchen was stunned for a moment, how could this be? How could the eldest sister take such a big risk at this time and come to see them without telling Helian Duel, could it be that there was something unexpected in the plan? Still is......
He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Brother Jifeng, don't worry, the signal released by the eldest sister may be some important news, let's wait and see, maybe ......
Before Si Nanchen finished speaking, someone outside the door reported: "Shaojun, Zhuang Master, let's ambush the eyeliner of Chiyuan and bring back a person, he released fireworks in the cold bamboo forest, and he also engraved a code, which is accurate."
The two in the room glanced at each other, and Si Nanchen said, "Bring him in."
Jiang Jifeng hurriedly got up and took a few steps forward, and when he saw the figure of the comer, his eyes flashed with disappointment that he couldn't hide.
Not her......
Of course it shouldn't be her, Jiang Jifeng knew that he was delusional again, but since the code was correct, it meant that he was here to deliver important news.
Jiang Jifeng cheered up and looked at the person in front of him carefully.
The man was tall and thin, with a moon-white brocade robe faintly peeking out from under his long black cloak, and when he took off the hood that covered his face, he saw that this man had a handsome, but extremely pale face.
If you look closely, the man has a pair of golden eyes!
"The Abyss Royals?"
Even Si Nanchen couldn't help but be surprised, at the same time, Jiang Jifeng's long sword had already reached the man's neck.
"Brother Jifeng, slow down!" Si Nanchen hurriedly stopped, "Since he has a password, it can be explained that he is related to the eldest sister, let's listen to what he has to say first!"
The man didn't care about the sharp sword that could kill him at any time, he smiled slightly, there was no emotion in his eyes, but the cold plainness made people feel cold.
He said, "I think this is the young man of Nanchen in Zelu City, sure enough, the hero is a young man, you are as smart as your eldest sister."
"I wonder why you're here today?"
Si Nanchen, a native of Chiyuan, still has no good impression, not to mention that the person in front of him is still the Chiyuan royal family, so he is even more reluctant to say a word.
The man took out a hosta from his arms and handed it to Si Nanchen, turned his head with a smile, and asked Jiang Jifeng, who looked surprised, "Now can we sit down and talk well?" Master Jiangzhuang."
The vigil outside the door changed again and again
In one wave, the candle flame in the house burned until dawn, until the clouds on the horizon were torn by the morning sun, and the man who covered his face extremely tightly did not leave.
Looking at his departing figure, Si Nanchen asked, "Brother Jifeng, do you believe him?"
"I don't believe it." Jiang Jifeng replied without thinking, he clenched the hosta in his palm, and said, "But I believe in Nanyue, if she wants to cooperate with Helian Qian, she must have her reasons."
Si Nanchen lowered his eyes and was silent, and his slightly immature face had a heavy old age that was very consistent with his age.
After a long time, he said, "Our cooperation with the Chiyuan royal family is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, and if we are not careful, we will die without a place to be buried, and ...... If the generals of the other cities know that we are involved with the Abyss royal family, this coalition army that has been assembled with great difficulty may be killed by internal friction before it can start attacking Chiyuan. Although Helian Qian does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, he can be arranged into the palace of the Chiyuan King, and when it is really activated, he can catch the King of the Chiyuan off guard......
The young man thought too much, and he couldn't make up his mind, he closed his eyes and pondered for too long, just when Jiang Jifeng thought he was asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "That's it, just make some preparations in advance."
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Jifeng asked.
Si Nanchen leaned closer and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Jiang Jifeng's brows furrowed more and more, "Is this method a little ......?"
He wanted to say if it was a little cruel, but when he thought that if they were unprepared, if they were beaten by Helian Qian, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Not only have their hard work been wasted all these years, but even Nanyue's life is probably not guaranteed, as the saying goes, being merciful to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, which is true.
Jiang Jifeng swallowed the words in his throat and said, "Do as you say."
Outside the door, the willow branches in early spring sprouted, but the scorching sun was already in the sky on the Gobi thousands of miles away.
Si Nanxing wiped the sweat beads on her face, looking at this boundless sea of golden sand, this vast desert is majestic, quiet, the hot sun makes her feel like she is in a fire, she is drowsy, here it seems that even time has slowed down, Si Nanxing couldn't tell the direction for the first time in his life, and rode a camel to follow behind the cold sky.
"Why don't you two speak?"
Xu is Hancang has long been accustomed to such an environment, he did not show any tiredness on his face, and talked to himself for a long time, only to find that since entering the Gobi, Si Nanxing's words seemed to be getting less and less.
"The prince hasn't stopped talking all the way, how dare others interject." Si Nanxing made a joke, as if she was not the one who was fighting with Han Cang all the way.
Si Nanxing casually handed the water bladder to Ah Kui again, and said with concern: "The sun here is too hot, I can't stand it, you drink some more water."
Kui shook her head, indicating that she was not thirsty yet.
Si Nanxing frowned and said, "How can you not be thirsty after being in the sun for most of the day, don't worry, there is still enough water in the water bladder."
"yes, even if we finish drinking, at this rate, we'll go to the next supply station before dark tomorrow, and then we'll have some more water and food." Han Cang also persuaded.
After all, the little girl who was still fresh a few days ago lost her spirit after being sunburned for a few days, and Han Cang was still very distressed.
Hearing Han Cang say the same, Ah Kui took the water bladder with confidence, and put it in the bag on the camel's back without a few sips.
Si Nanxing understood her thoughts, so she didn't persuade again, and the few people continued to walk to the depths of the Gobi until dusk before stopping to camp.
At this time, the sunset stained the sand, the sky and the earth were the same color, and the whirlwind wrapped a layer of fine sand in the distance, like smoke burning on the flat ground, swirling in the sand dunes.
Si Nanxing looked at the endless Gobi and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of desolation.
"Don't be stunned there, come and help serve the soup!"
Han Cang's voice broke her thoughts and summoned Sinan Xing back to the tent.
The dusk of the desert is very short, it is already dark in the blink of an eye, the hook of the string moon hangs above the sky, and a few lone stars dot the sky, riding on this layered, like the waves of the Yellow River sand dunes, it is really magnificent.
The three of them were eating barbecue meat in the tent, looking at this different scenery, if it weren't for the fact that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was too much
, but it can also be called a pleasant sentence.
"Don't look desolate here, when you get to Mobei, you can see a powerful empire that you have never seen before."
After Han Cang filled the wine jug, he couldn't wait to take a sip, smacked his lips with great satisfaction, and said.
Si Nanxing wiped away the yellow sand with a towel and said, "Even across such a large area of the Gobi, the great name of Mobei is still like thunder, which makes Chiyuan jealous, which is enough to show that Mobei is powerful and extraordinary, and this is also the reason why I came here thousands of miles."
Along the way, because of the identity of the prince of the cold desert north, they went all the way unhindered, and they worked quickly, but in just a few days, they took the official road through Linglu City and came to the Gobi.
But looking at the fact that the king of Mobei built countless sentry posts in this desert in order to prevent the invasion and sneak attack of people with secret intentions, it can be seen that Mobei's strength is extraordinary.
As long as she has such a force, she will definitely be able to rescue her sister, but I don't know how long it will take for the day when their sisters meet......
Seeing that Si Nanxing frowned and was silent, Han Cang put the wine jug directly in her face, "Obviously she is a delicate little girl, but the expression on her face is sinking towards the mountain, with Mobei's assistance, what else do you have to worry about, come, drink some wine!"
"How could anyone give such a strong drink to a delicate little girl?" Besides, her current appearance has nothing to do with words like "Jiaodidi".
Although Si Nanxing said this, he still took the wine jug and drank it.
From time to time, she wiped the wine marks from the corners of her lips, and asked Han Cang thoughtfully, "The Holy Maiden of the Divine Domain you mentioned last time, has her prophecy ever come true?"
"Never."
Han Cang replied directly without thinking, and when he reacted, he thought that Si Nanxing was worried about her eldest sister.
He hurriedly made up for it, "Uh...... I mean, she ...... That was her prophecy...... It's magical, she's ...... It's amazing......
Han Cang really didn't know what to say, after all, he hadn't seen the Wuqi prophecy come true once or twice.
Si Nanxing smiled far-fetchedly, and asked casually, "Then please tell the prince, what did the holy maiden predict?"
"Hmm...... For example......" Han Cang thought for a moment, "when I married her, she said that a long, long time ago, she knew that she would marry me when she was twenty-three years old."
