In the crowd watching the bustle outside, a bald man attracted Gu Shengchao's attention.

Everyone else was wide-eyed, looking around for fear of missing something, but this person's eyes were slightly closed, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Everyone's breath is a small point in the ancient saint's super perception, and the stronger the internal force, the more introverted the aura is, the more difficult it is to detect. On the other hand, this person's aura spread out and had become a large area in the ancient saint's super perception, covering the aura of many people around him.

Yan Yifan shot several arrow targets one after another, and when the horse came here, he happened to be shrouded in the breath of a bald man, and immediately felt dizzy, and the mount under his crotch was also restless, and kept stomping on the spot.

To make matters worse, an arrow fell out of the quiver during the swing.

Within the control of balding men, everyone has more or less different reactions, ordinary family members have a slightly weaker influence, and those who seem to have good kung fu are miserable and have splitting headaches.

The ancient saint was super lucky, and his breath was surging towards the bald man, and in an instant, Yan Yifan's stinging sensation of scratching his ears and scratching his heart subsided, and he hurriedly shot an arrow.

It's a pity that it is affected, not as accurate as the previous person, the two people's arrows are different colors, and whose arrow is closer to the bullseye is clear at a glance.

Far from control, Yan Yifan's remaining arrows are more accurate than the previous one, but it's a pity that there is one arrow missing, and no matter how good the shot in front is, it is in vain.

"Catch the arrow." Tian Mang rushed to the front and bent his bow to shoot at Yan Yifan's chest.

Yan Yifan shouted, "It's good", stretched out his hand to take the flying feather arrow, and looked back at the moon and shot with a bow.

The bald man's face turned red, and his breath could not break through Gu Shengchao's suppression, and he watched the sharp arrow break through the air, hitting the bull's-eye.

Others don't know why, but Cao Lang knows it. He saw that the master he invited was being controlled by others, and he was shocked and looked at Gu Shengchao's eyes much more well-behaved.

"Good!"

Everyone in Baixianzhuang applauded in unison.

Cao Lang stood up and waved his hand and said: "Don't be impatient, although Master Yan Zhuang is more skilled, the time consumed, the number of laps the horse has traveled around is more than the previous one, and he has lost an arrow, so it stands to reason that he has lost the race." However, let's meet friends with martial arts, and this game can be regarded as a draw. ”

lost an arrow in the game, and it was a loss, Yan Yifan didn't explain much, and accepted the reality of the draw.

"Baixianzhuang Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, come, let's continue drinking." Cao Lang rearranged the banquet.

Everyone in Baixianzhuang was not steady, for fear that the other party would come up with another moth. Fortunately, after the banquet was dispersed, Cao Lang asked someone to push out the cars of leather goods that had been detained and returned them to Baixianzhuang, and did not continue to embarrass them.

Back in Baixianzhuang, everyone happily counted the goods, but Yan Yifan was preoccupied and called Gu Shengchao and Tian Mang to discuss countermeasures.

"Today's battle confirms the fact that Yongchangtang and Yunqi Palace colluded, I don't think they will give up, what do you two think?" Yan Yifan put his heart into his heart, and there was no perfunctory meaning.

Tian Mang grinned and said: "What else can be done, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and whoever they are willing to fight will be harder than anyone's fist." ”

Gu Shengchao felt Yan Yifan's gaze, and said softly: "The current emperor of the Dawu Dynasty has returned from the Xileng Kingdom, and his strength is weak and lonely, and there is a eunuch in the court Wen Zhe to suppress him, and the Wuwang Palace is eyeing him, and they even invited the warriors of Beihu Baisha City to help. As a result, taking advantage of the contradictions between the various factions, in the end, it was the yellow robe that added to it. The Yunqi Palace of the West Cold Kingdom is dominant, which will definitely attract the envy and resentment of many parties, and it is impossible for the court and the princes of all places to fully support it, find the right opportunity to start in time, I guess it may be able to make some achievements. ”

"Makes sense, you can let me think about it. I plan to build more teahouses in the transportation areas of the Xilang Kingdom, as a liaison base, and the Dawu Dynasty should also have them in places close to the Xilang Kingdom, but I don't know where it is most suitable. Yan Yifan looked at Gu Shengchao.

"Raven Bay as a suit." Gu Shengchao saw that there was a map on the wall, and walked over to point out the general direction.

"Luoya Bay along the river is the Xileng National Flower Ming City, the two cities are not far from each other, the transportation is convenient, whether it is by boat, waterway or land horseback riding is very convenient." This way, Gu Shengchao had already observed carefully.

"Raven Bay, Flower City." Yan Yifan looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

Gu Shengchao and Tian Mang didn't want to disturb him and left quietly.

When he had nothing to do, Gu Shengchao went to the restaurant to help. He didn't know anything else, so he had to be a shopkeeper like Ma Guanshan, serving tea and water to guests, and he was very busy.

The diners who came to dine, if they knew that except for the gentle and lovely female shopkeeper Yang Qianhui behind the counter, most of them were murderous demons who did not blink, and they didn't know how to feel.

A few days later, Yan Yifan sent someone to invite Gu Shengchao to Baixianzhuang to discuss matters.

It turned out that King Baocheng failed in his rebellion and was captured, and the emperor gave him a piece of white silk to hang himself. Although the daughter of King Baocheng was a favorite concubine, she was also implicated, and she entered the cold palace and never saw each other again.

The harem has always seen the newcomer laugh but not the old man crying, and there are those who are disappointed and those who are favored.

Concubine Zhen relied on her youth and beauty, and her brother was a hussar general, so she immediately received the emperor's favor, and the king did not come to court early.

Yan Yifan gave a lot of benefits to the chief eunuch in the palace on weekdays, and he just got a piece of news.

Someone saw Teruya, one of the four night pearls in the world, in the desert, and witnessed the caravan killing each other in order to get the jewel, and he knew that he was about to escape from the desert when he encountered the hussar general's guard, so he told him about it.

By the time the guards rushed into the desert to find the caravan, they had all died tragically, and the orb was nowhere to be found.

After careful identification by the man, none of the caravan survived, and the inspection of the carry-on package was fruitless. In order to get the orb, they even cut open the abdomen of some corpses, but they found nothing, so they had to bury them on the spot.

In other words, it is possible that the orb has been lost somewhere in the vast desert.

The hussar general has secretly sent people into the desert to search, no matter who first finds the night to offer to the concubine, will be appreciated by the emperor and the hussar general, with his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade.

"It is rumored that there are four top night pearls in the world, which are called the bright moon, starfall, illuminating the night, and Xuanqing, the bright moon is pure white, the starfall is red, the night is slightly yellow, and the Xuanqing hair is black. I once got one of them by chance, and I also happened to meet it in a caravan in the desert, and I avenged the murder of my father with the help of it, but unfortunately my skills were shallow at that time, and I couldn't even protect myself, and I watched it being snatched away by others. Gu Shengchao remembered the scene of assassinating the enemy Zhao Yinhu at that time, as if he remembered it vividly.

"If I want you to help find it, how many people do I need to help?" Yan Yifan was also unsure, looking forward to getting a positive answer from Gu Shengchao.

Gu Shengchao pondered for a moment: "There are too many unknown risks in the desert, and the difficulty of supply is limited everywhere. ”

He glanced at Tian Mang and said, "I don't know if Brother Tian is interested?" ”

Tian Mang heard what he meant, and immediately said, "Brother Gu, although I command, I am willing to listen to your dispatch." ”

Yan Yifan applauded and said happily: "There are two people going, I can't ask for it." It's just that looking for a jewel in the desert is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. If you find the best, don't be reluctant if you can't find it, being able to come back safely is the first achievement. ”

Gu Shengchao and Tian Mang packed up and set off together, this time I don't know how long they will stay in the desert, the two of them and six horses left Yunshang City.

came to the small town on the edge of the desert, and the two stayed in the inn where Gu Shengchao and Ding Ying stayed last time and rested for one night.

The four horses that followed, carrying enough water bladders and food, were led by ropes, and followed behind the two horses without haste or slowness.

It's early winter, and the weather is cold and not afraid of wind and sun, so the two choose to travel during the day.

No one knows where the caravan has passed, and where the Night Pearl has been lost, so it can only be aimless, and the outcome is all up to luck.

Along the way, they encountered a number of teams of different sizes, obviously very different from the caravans, and it seemed that the news of the loss of the Night Pearl had spread.

"Brother Tian, do you say this news is true or false?" Gu Shengchao had some doubts.

Tian Mang smiled faintly: "Since it is from the palace, the news must be true, Baixianzhuang has dealt with them many times, this is certain." ”

"I once saw Xuanqing, one of the pearls of the night in the West, and the room can be illuminated as bright as day at night, and the night must be the same, if it really falls somewhere in the desert, I am afraid that it will be found by the beasts that come out to forage at night, and it will be somewhere." Gu Shengchao guessed.

Tian Mang thought of something and asked, "How big is Xuanqing?" ”

Gu Shengchao stretched out his fist and painted: "It's about the size of a fist." ”

"That's good, ordinary rats won't be taken away, they won't be hidden in their burrows, and we have a much better chance of finding them." Tian Mang was happy.

At this moment, a vulture streaked silently through the sky.

Gu Shengchao said thoughtfully: "Could it be them?" ”

Tian Mang watched the vulture disappear at the end of the sky: "This kind of eagle is unlikely, I know that a kind of night owl often comes out at night to forage for food, and likes to catch rodents for food." They usually sleep in caves halfway up the mountain during the day and only come out at night. At night, the night pearl is shining, and it is unknown whether it will attract the interest of the night owl and take it away. ”

"Halfway up the mountain?" Gu Shengchao looked around, and there was an endless desert in all directions.

Tian Mang said with a smile: "Brother Shengchao, don't worry, there is a mountain a hundred miles north from here, although the mountain is not high, it is surrounded by cliffs, and there are many night owls living there halfway up the mountain. ”

"Why don't you try your luck there?" The Ancient Saint is super simple.

"Okay!"

The two of them roared at the same time, and their horses ran north.

In the middle of the night, over the rolling mounds, a high mountain rises abruptly in front of me.

It seems to have grown out of the vast desert, rising from the ground.

At night, it looks solemn and mysterious.

"That's it." Tian Mang pointed with a whip and said with a little regret: "When I was young, I stole a few eggs and planned to hatch them as pets, but they all died early and did not succeed. ”

The two tied the four horses carrying the heavy load to a large rock and then circled the mountain.

They noticed that when they reached the top of the mountain, a faint white light shone through the cracks in the stones.

"There it is!"

The two exclaimed at the same time, overjoyed.
