Chapter 34: First Encounter with the Clan

With Xiao Lanyu with him, no country dares to hinder the passage of Shi Sheng and others, in the face of the prince of the Great Chu Empire, they don't even have the courage to go up and stutter, the status is too disparity, a little unhappiness to the prince, and it is possible to destroy the country in a blink of an eye!

Shi Sheng had to sigh, there is a prince of Chu to escort him, this speed of passage is simply terrifying! The teleportation array is free to use, and there is no need to queue, it will always be preferred, no one dares to stop the customs clearance, and even the transnational teleportation array does not need to go through any formalities, this has to be replaced by Shi Sheng's own son, and if he wants to pass the customs, he will stay and go through the procedures for ten days and a half months first! If he wants to use the transnational teleportation array? No problem, just spend a month or two to complete the procedures of various departments!

From the southern corner to the Western Regions, the first third of the journey, Shi Sheng and they walked for several years, and the last two-thirds of the journey, accompanied by Xiao Lanyu, they only spent three months, this is still under the strong request of Yao Xiang and Shen Xunxi, everyone was delayed for so long while playing, otherwise it would be faster!

And when they approached the Western Regions, Shi Sheng they felt the difference, there were many deserts on the way, the temperature was extremely high, many places were deserted, the climatic conditions were worse than the southern corner, it can be said that the sky was the same, after entering the Western Regions, the temperature was even hotter, walking on the desert was like a steamer, of course, with the strength of Shi Sheng and others, it was not affected at all, but how could ordinary people withstand such high temperatures? The land in the Western Regions is relatively desolate, the towns are extremely scattered, and there are not even teleportation arrays in many places, and the speed of Shi Sheng and the others is obviously much slower, but fortunately, the people are simple and simple, and the residents are hospitable, which saves Shi Sheng and them a lot of trouble.

The Shijia family in the Western Regions is located in the largest city in the middle of the Western Regions, "Blood Sand City". Shi Sheng and his entourage traveled for more than half a month in the Western Regions, and finally came to the supply town "Crescent City", three hundred miles away from Blood Sand City.

The crescent moon city is named after the crescent spring in the city, the crescent spring water is cool and refreshing, and the water under the ground, has not dried up for thousands of years, it is a very rare oasis in the desert, specially for people to replenish and rest.

There was only one inn in Crescent City, and Shi Sheng and the others came to the inn, ordered some wine and food at random, and planned to rest for a while after eating this meal before setting off. This was their last stop before entering Bloodsand City. After several years of driving since the southern corner, it is finally about to arrive.

Yao Xiang and Shi Sheng drank extremely impressively, and the two drank with their stomachs open. It's like a bottomless pit. The people around him were dumbfounded. The shopkeeper kindly reminded: "Guest officer, this wine in our store is very strong, and you are drinking happily here." Later, the stamina will come up, but you won't be able to hurry, if you encounter a black sand storm, don't give your life in a daze, it's not worth it. ”

Shi Sheng took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Man, what is that black sand storm?" The shopkeeper glanced at Shi Sheng, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, are you a foreigner?" Shi Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Yes, what?"

Shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's no wonder, there are no locals within a radius of 10,000 miles, but there is no one who doesn't know the black sand storm in the road, I tell you, you ask me to ask the right person, my Zhao Xiaoyi's knowledge is well-known in this area......"

Yao Xiang stomped his wine glass, glared at Zhao Xiaoyi, and said, "Ask you what that black sand storm is, who likes to listen to your verbosity?"

Zhao Xiaoqi smiled embarrassedly, slapped his mouth lightly, and said with a smile: "Look at my mouth, auntie, don't be angry, the little one will say that the black sand storm." Pointing to the west, he said: "Between this crescent moon city and the blood sand city, there is a black sand area, from time to time there will be a black sand storm, this black sand storm is amazing, as soon as it blows, it is black all over the world, and the black sand in the storm is like grinding iron sand, which can scrape people's flesh and blood into blurred, and grind them into ashes alive, which is notoriously dangerous in this radius of tens of thousands of miles. ”

Shi Sheng frowned when he heard this, and said, "So powerful, then how can I avoid the black sand storm?" Zhao Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Is this, it is difficult to say, and it is easy to say that it is easy to ......" Before the words were finished, Yao Xiang stomped the wine glass again and glared at Zhao Xiaoyi, Zhao Xiaoqi immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I am verbose again, to avoid the black sand storm, you need a guide who is familiar with the terrain and climate to lead the way, otherwise even if you are a local, you will inevitably run into the black sand storm and end up with no bones left." ”

Shi Sheng smiled slightly, and said, "Then is there a guide in this Crescent City?" Zhao Xiaoqi said: "Yes, why not? An hour later, there will be a guide to lead the team to Blood Sand City......" Yao Xiang waved his hand and said: "We don't walk with others, you help us invite the best guide, and the running fee is indispensable for you." ”

Zhao Xiaoqi smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, this thing is really small, those guides, all of them are uncles, they lead the team in shifts, and those who don't have their turn will rest and have fun in the city, unless you give double the price, don't want to invite them." ”

Yao Xiang said: "Double is double, you go and invite one." "With Xiao Lanyu here, Shi Sheng and his entourage have never taken money seriously, according to Xiao Lanyu's words, the entire Hurricane Yin Continent is considered his Xiao family's territory, will money be a problem?

Zhao Xiaoqi didn't know the identity of Xiao Lanyu of Lu Dao, and was a little dumbfounded for a while, and said: "Auntie, do you know how much it costs to hire a guide in Lu Dao......?

"It's okay, little brother, you can go and please. This time it was Xiao Lanyu who spoke, this Zhao Xiaoyu has been a shopkeeper for several years, and he can be regarded as reading countless people, and he has a bit of ability to recognize people, and when he saw Xiao Lanyu, he was not small, and he didn't dare to be verbose for a while, so he hurriedly said "yes", turned around and trotted out of the inn.

After a while, Zhao Xiaoqi walked into the inn with an embarrassed expression, Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly: "Didn't you get it?" Zhao Xiaoqi said ashamedly: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, there are three guides in this city, Master Xiao led the team to Blood Sand City yesterday, and he hasn't come back yet, Master Wang has set off ahead of schedule because of the change in weather." ”

Yao Xiang said: "Then what about another master?" Zhao Xiaoqi said: "Now there is only Master Chang left in the city, but ...... He had just been asked to leave. ”

Shi Sheng sighed "Huh" and said, "There are still people who are willing to pay double?" Zhao Xiaoqi said: "But isn't it? Don't say double the price, even if it is ten times the price, people can afford it." ”

Yao Xiang snorted and said, "Who is so wealthy?" Zhao Xiaoqi said "hey" and said, "Don't be scared when you say it." Yao Xiang's face sank, and Zhao Xiaoqi hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't be angry, the little ones are too talkative, they are the leaders of the Blood Sand City, the people of the Li Shi family." ”

Yao Xiang and the others turned their heads to look at Shi Sheng, Shi Sheng was already stunned, the leader of the Shi family in Blood Sand City, wasn't that his clan, the Shi family in the Western Regions? Unexpectedly, when he met someone from the clan here, Shi Sheng's heart was excited, nervous, and a little overwhelmed for a while.

Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly, and said to Zhao Xiaoyi: "When will the people of the Shi family leave?" Zhao Xiaoyu said: "It's soon, the weather is not very good, they are about to leave." Xiao Lanyu stood up and said, "I'm sorry for you to take us to meet the people of the Shi family." ”

Zhao Xiaoqi was startled, hurriedly waved his hand, and said, "Don't! Don't! Guest officer, listen to me, the people of the Shi family can't be messed with." ”

Shi Sheng's heart sank, and said, "Are they very vicious?" Zhao Xiaoqi said: "That's not it, the Shi family is huge, you go to provoke them, don't you hit the muzzle of the gun yourself?"

Yao Xiang pulled Qingqing to stand up and said, "Don't be verbose, besides, everyone is gone, lead the way!" After that, he pulled Qingqing towards the outside of the store, Zhao Xiaoqi had no choice but to run to the front to lead the way, Xiao Lanyu was the last to go out, and quickly caught up with a few people after settling the bill.

Zhao Xiaoqi was worried, and led Shi Sheng and his party to the resting place of the Shi family's horses, there was a person's heart beating more than Zhao Xiaoqi, it was the most nervous Shi Sheng, since he was a child, he had only seen his grandfather a relative, and when he met the clansmen here, how could he not be nervous?

Yao Xiang obviously felt that Shi Sheng's breath was a little heavy, stretched out his hand to hold Shi Sheng's hand, and said softly: "I'll accompany you." ”

Simple four words, gentle and firm, no matter where he is going, no matter what he has to face, Yao Xiang will accompany Shi Sheng, stand side by side with him, bear and share everything, they don't need too many words between them, for Shi Sheng, these four words are the warmest support, enough to make his heart gradually calm down.

There are more than 20 people in the Shi family, and they are packing their luggage and preparing to leave, they don't care about the arrival of Shi Sheng and the others, Xiao Lanyu gave Zhao Xiaoqi some money, sent him away, and then walked to the Shi family and horses, and said, "No, Xiao Lanyu, all the friends of the Shi family are invited." ”

The Shi family and horses turned their eyes to look at Xiao Lanyu, and a big man with five big and three thick walked in front of Xiao Lanyu, clasped his hands on his chest, looked down at Xiao Lanyu and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly, and said, "I have a friend, maybe you are interested in meeting ......" Before Xiao Lanyu finished speaking, Shi Sheng had stepped forward to stop him, turned his head and said to the biao-shaped big man: "In Xia Shisheng, I want to discuss with you." ”

The big man frowned, and said in a rough voice: "You say." Shi Sheng said: "We are also going to Bloody Sand City, but there is only one guide left in the city, Master Chang, who was invited by you, I don't know if I can wait to accompany you, we are willing to pay half of the guide fee." ”

The big man said categorically: "No, you can leave tomorrow!" After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Lanyu hurriedly said: "Brother Tai, wait, we have the power to protect ourselves, and we won't cause you trouble." ”

The big man waved his hand impatiently, and said, "No, it's not good!" There is a first come and a first arrival in everything, let's invite Master Chang first, since you are late, you will honestly wait until tomorrow before leaving!" After speaking, he stopped paying attention to Xiao Lanyu and Shi Sheng, turned around and left. (To be continued......)
