Chapter 173: The Fallen Prince of Gaochang Kingdom
The yellow sand was all over the sky, and Shen Ru and his party walked without danger.
"There will be the ruins of an old city in front of us, we will spend the night there, and tomorrow we will walk for another day, and we can reach the small country on the border of the Western Regions at sunset."
Yan Shaoqing wiped off the sand mixed with sweat on his face, Ren is a noble son, and at this moment, he also looks tired.
Naturally, the others are no better, Shen Ru wrapped his head and face tightly, but he still felt that his breath was full of sand.
"Let's go, get there in a hurry, our horses will be tired!"
Shen Ru urged, even if she had enough water and supplies, she was tired enough in this desert.
The group stepped up their pace, and finally arrived at the ruins of the old city in Yan Shaoqing's mouth.
Surprisingly, there were people here.
The six men who looked completely exotic also looked at Yan Shaoqing and his party vigilantly.
Yan Shaoqing stepped forward and said his identity as a businessman, and the men breathed a sigh of relief, and when they saw Shen Ru and Dunzhu, their expressions were obviously relaxed.
Shen Ru saw what Yan Shaoqing was talking to the other party, so he didn't interject.
Yan Shaoqing's guards also took out their tents from the carriage and prepared a place to sleep at night.
After a while, Yan Shaoqing also came over.
"They belong to the Gaochang Kingdom of the Western Regions, and they are also going to Dune City."
"They say there are often robbers in this area, and they want to be with us."
"Is it credible?"
Shen Ru asked rhetorically, she didn't think Yan Shaoqing had such a good heart!
"They have camels, and one of them is the prince of Gaochang."
The corners of Yan Shaoqing's mouth were vial.
"They were separated from the convoy because they were being pursued by bandits, and if we could escort them to Dune, they would thank us."
Let's just say, no profit can't be early, this is the nature of businessmen!
"It's up to you." Shen Ru said casually, be her qualified guard.
Soon, several tents were set up, and Shen Ru lived with Dunzhu, and he was naturally pretentious when he was outside.
In the middle of the night, there was still the sound of the whirring wind calling for help.
Shen Ru woke up and immediately went out of the tent to check.
But not far away, several people from Gao Changguo jumped up and down as if there was something on the ground.
And Shen Ru also heard the low sound of music in the wind.
Walking over quickly, Shen Ru's heart was numb when he saw the dense scorpions on the ground.
"Get out of the way!" Shen Ru shouted, and immediately sprinkled some black oily water on the ground, and then threw down the fire fold.
With a "boom", the flames suddenly rose, accompanied by a crackling sound, and the air was filled with the fragrance of barbecue scorpions.
At the same time, Shen Ru also saw a figure in white standing on a high place, and she immediately rushed over.
Under the moonlight, high up in the ruins, a white-clothed masked man was playing a flute.
Shen Ruzheng was entangled in whether he could understand when he spoke, and the man in white had already jumped from a height.
"Did you burn the scorpion with fire?"
"You speak Middle-earth?"
Shen Ru immediately asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
This man in white is actually a woman!
"I took the money and wanted to kill those Gaochang people, if you know each other, get out of the way for me."
Shen Ru hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Who are they, but what crime have they committed?" ”
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, no matter whether it is right or wrong!"
The woman's indifferent tone made Shen Ru have to think about it.
"Shen Ru, this person is a killer sent by Empress Gaochang, this is their battle for the throne of Gaochang Kingdom, you help the prince of Gaochang avoid pursuit, he will repay us in the future."
Yan Shaoqing shouted behind him.
I knew that Yan Shaoqing agreed to go with that group, it was not that simple!
Shen Ru slandered, but then said to the woman in white.
"You hear you, so, I can't let you kill."
"Then it's up to each other!"
As she spoke, the woman in white attacked Shen Ru.
In an instant, the two were in a mess.
This woman's kung fu is good!
As soon as Shen Ru fought, she knew the level of the opponent's skills, which then aroused her desire to win.
"Young Master, do you want to help?"
Yu Tai and the others came to Yan Shaoqing's side and asked nervously.
"The roasted scorpions in that place smell quite fragrant."
Chen Mo also added.
"Let's see what Shen Ru says himself!"
Yan Shaoqing said that Shen Ru did it, as if he had never asked for help.
After a few moves, the woman in white took advantage of the situation to retreat, and then said loudly: "Your kung fu is very good, I won't fight with you, you have the ability, you will protect them for a lifetime!" ”
The words drifted in the wind, and the woman in white disappeared into the night.
Shen Ruyi was still unfinished, but he had no opponent, so he could only turn around and walk towards Yan Shaoqing regretfully.
"Yan Shaoqing, what you said was hidden from your head and tail, and you didn't say it during the day."
Yan Shaoqing smiled, and then asked, "You didn't ask either!" ”
"These people, but they will attract killers, are you sure you want to take them with you?"
Shen Ru asked again.
"What I just said is true, it is indeed the infighting of the royal family of Gaochang Kingdom, that prince is going to Dune City to find his ancestor, in short, Shen Ru, bring them, the risk is there, but the reward will be great."
Yan Shaoqing said truthfully this time.
"Yan Shaoqing, you are really a businessman!"
Yan Shaoqing still had so many guards by his side, and he didn't do it alone, so Shen Ru still accepted it.
"I don't think I'll come back, can I rest?"
"Miss Shen, you can rest, we will be on guard."
Yan Shaoqing's guard spoke.
Shen Ru nodded and went back to the tent.
Dunzhu had already woken up, and she was afraid that she would drag her feet so she watched from afar.
"Sister Shen, what is the situation, why does it smell meaty?"
Shen Ru sneered, the meat was fragrant, it was the smell of barbecue.
She also said what Yan Shaoqing said about Tong Dunzhu, and then said helplessly: "Since he agreed, he will only protect people." ”
"This Western Regions is really capable, that female killer, good at music and rhythm, can drive scorpions, but it is an eye-opener."
Shen Ru said with interest, "Next, it may surprise me!" ”
The next day, the caravan grew again, and the men were chattering with Yan Shaoqing, and Shen Ru could only stare dryly.
"Dondup, can you understand what they said?"
Donju shook his head.
"Sister Shen, what they said is still different from the grassland."
Therefore, everything is up to Yan Shaoqing!
Shen Ru has a little regret, this Yan Shaoqing is a thief and a thief, he is just a matter of mouth, but they are all the ones who do it!
I also thought about the huge wealth I got this time, so I felt some comfort in my heart.
Forget it, for the sake of Yan Shaoqing who made such a fortune with her, let's help him escort this wave of people!
