The name of the Kyincho River is very strange, but in the language of the desert, it means god-given water. It is because of this river and its many branches that countless tribes living in the desert have been nurtured.

The volume of the river is so large that its branches converge and flow into the Kashgar Oasis for thousands of square miles. Many large tribes lived along the river and built towns and cities.

In the past, when there was plenty of water, the tribes got along well, and even if there was a conflict, they could quickly reconcile.

However, in the past two years, the water volume of the Keyinche River has been greatly reduced, and the springs at the source of each branch have dried up, especially this year, the water level has dropped to a record low, and the big river has become a small stream, which is not even comparable to the water volume of a small branch, and the big lake in the Kashgar oasis is almost bottoming out. Oases are also degraded on a large scale. Originally, the amount of water is small, and the upstream slotting to divert water for irrigation will inevitably affect the downstream tribes. So there was no peace between the tribes.

The two largest tribes in the area, Coulomb and Sark, broke out into war for this reason, and several clashes led to tens of thousands of casualties.

The small tribes around them were also in constant conflict, and some of them were even wiped out overnight. This part of the desert was also caused by chaos, and the number of bandits surged.

Jiang Xingchen took the old man and the little cat girl to the royal city of Salk with Sha Xing's son, and finally understood the cause of the chaos here on the way, all because of the water.

"Isn't there any other water source in the desert besides the Keyincha River?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

"Of course there is, but there are very few, many springs have run out of water in the past two years, and the oases have quickly desertified, and people have to leave. Some were incorporated into other tribes, while others were left to their fate. ”

"Boy. You can also use the solution to the drought of the Empire, and find underground springs for them!"

Before leaving, Gao Chong wanted him to follow. But the old man simply decided, just kidding, I'm Jiang Xingchen's bodyguard, what's the matter with following you.

The old man said righteously, but Jiang Xingchen and the little cat girl were grinning when they heard it, this old guy came when he opened his mouth, obviously he wanted to pretend to be forced with Jiang Xingchen, this old guy is like this.

In fact, even if he wanted to follow Gao Chong, Jiang Xingchen would not let him. He is not easy to communicate with the desert gang, there must be someone around him who understands foreign languages, and the old man is the most suitable.

As for Coulomb's side, the other party should not dare to touch them if they have not received the goods. However, if you want to meet Qin Manwu, it is estimated that it will not be too easy.

Hearing that the old man asked him to find water to dig a well, Jiang Xingchen glanced at the old man with disdain and said, "How can it be as easy as you say to dig a well." We have shallow water over there, and it's easy to dig out the water, but this is a desert. Perennial drought ......."

"Okay, okay, if you can't find it, you can't find it, you have to explain it to me, is it interesting?" The old man waved his hand again and again to interrupt Jiang Xingchen.

"Uh! I didn't say I couldn't find it. It's just that it's hard to find you!" Jiang Xingchen said secretly in his heart. Groundwater resources still exist, but they are hidden deeper and in smaller quantities. He probed all the way. Some of the desertified oases have water underneath, but all of them are deep groundwater. It is in the presence of an aquifer.

At this time, Sha Xing's son suddenly said a lot of words to Jiang Xingchen.

The old man immediately translated: "This kid said." He's worried that Culomb will send someone to rob them if he knows that we have put the goods with them!"

"This kid is very interesting, he is not afraid of the loss of our goods, but he is afraid of the destruction of the oasis!" the old man then said with a smile.

Jiang Xingchen said with a smile: "Sue him, even if the people from Culomb come, don't worry, they will definitely not be able to enter your oasis!"

After the old man translated, the son of the killer star was shocked. He pondered this along the way, and if Coulomb attacked, their little oasis would be destroyed.

Although the combat effectiveness of these people in the world is high, Jiang Xingchen is too young, and he looks smaller than himself, which always makes people feel that they are hairless and can't do things well. At that time, after knowing that Jiang Xingchen was the leader of these people, he couldn't believe it.

Jiang Xingchen patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I say it's okay, it's okay, this time your task is to cooperate with me to pretend to be forced!"

Hearing the old man's translation, the corners of Sha Xing's son's mouth twitched twice, and he felt more and more that Jiang Xingchen was unreliable. Salk is a big force, there are more people with status and status, how can you pretend to be forced then. I'm not a fart as a young master of Shaxing......

When they went to the King of Sark on this side, in the central hall of the King of Culomb on the other side, a middle-aged man with a big beard was listening to the report of his subordinates.

"So, the people of the world's merchant houses have arrived?" asked the bearded man.

"Yes, there were more than 3,000 people, thousands of camels. Sha Xing gathered tens of thousands of sand thieves to rob, but was easily caught by others...... Now they have the old nest of the sand star!" replied the subordinate.

"Hehe, they are shrewd and didn't come here directly to negotiate with me......" the bearded Coulomb said with a sneer.

"King, should we send troops to capture the oasis?"

"You can't send troops, Qin Manwu is the princess of Great Qin, these people sent by the other party are not trivial, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not low, we send tens of thousands of soldiers to estimate that they can't beat people...... Just send someone to keep an eye on them, Qin Manwu is in our hands, they will come to the door sooner or later! As long as they come to us, it doesn't matter how many masters they come......."

"That's!" The subordinate immediately nodded and complimented: "Jun Immortal Vitality Eighth Layer, so powerful, it's not planted here with us!"

Coulomb smiled, unable to hide the smugness on his face, and asked as quickly as he spoke, "How is Qin Manwu's side, have you agreed?"

"This ...... Not yet!" The subordinate hesitated for a moment and said, "This girl doesn't say yes, she doesn't say no, I think she's dragging out time...... It's better to use it directly!"

"I want a steady stream of goods behind her, and once I force her to death, those goods will never come again!" Culomb shook his head slightly.

"But once Qin Manwu escapes, we won't be able to catch anything!"

"Run! Do you think that's possible...... Unless Great Qin sends a large army to capture my Kulun King City!" Kulun smiled extremely confidently, waved his hand, and said, "Do as I say, go and stare at the other party...... That's right. There is another point, Sha Xing should not dare to attack the team of the world's trading houses. There must be a reason for their actions this time, it is estimated that they learned about our seizure of the world's commercial banks. Find out who leaked the news, and punish me severely!"

"Yes, please rest assured, this time you will never leak any news about Qin Manwu!" the subordinate replied immediately.

"No, no, no!" Coulomb waved his hand and smiled, "News can leak, but it can't get out so easily...... Do you understand?"

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I understand, the more people are captured." The more pressure you put on Qin Manwu!"

"Alright!" Coulomb waved his hand, and his subordinate turned and ran out.

The door of the main hall closed, and Culomb sat alone on the throne, muttering to himself in a low voice: "Azabi, I am now in trouble with water, and I must beg you! Don't think I don't know what you are doing with the goods you get from me...... When the water crisis passes, I will be able to use the goods to connect with those who are deep in the desert......"

The city of King Sarke, covering an area of more than 160 square miles, is built along the river. The earthy yellow walls and dense buildings look unique, different from all the architectural styles in Jiang Xingchen's impression.

The royal city was very lively, and it was all people wearing linen robes and covering their heads and faces. I know this is to avoid sun exposure in the desert. But Jiang Xingchen still feels that he has entered an Arab country, in fact, he himself is dressed the same way now.

And on the streets, you can see small vendors selling fruits. Vegetables, grains. and various daily necessities......

When Jiang Xingchen observed curiously, the old man couldn't help it at first. asked excitedly: "Boy, how can we pretend to be forced, are you looking for a prince or something to beat up first!"

"Damn!" Jiang Xingchen was so angry that he kicked over, are you pretending to be forced, that's causing trouble!

The little cat woman fluttered her ears and said, "Old man, the level of directly hitting the prince or something is too low......"

"That's it!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and patted the little cat girl's head, and said, "See, Xiaoxiang is more knowledgeable than you! Don't always think about beating ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, the kitten continued: "If you want to fight, just pull the king out and fight, then it will be strong enough!"

"Poof!" Jiang Xingchen sprayed at the time, he had been messing with me for so long, and all of them were still profiteering factors in their heads, and they didn't know anything else except beating people.

The son of Sha Xing next to him didn't understand, so he asked the old man, and he almost didn't smoke it at that time. Fighting the prince in Sarke, are you here to pretend to be forced or kill yourself?

"Then what do you say?" asked the old man.

"Pretend to understand, what do we have, we have good wine, good food, and masters and beautiful women...... Do they have them, they are all people with status, but compared to us, they ......"

"I understand!" the old man shouted, "Just treat them like turtles, and despise them, right?"

"You are so quiet, you haven't treated people as turtles yet, people have treated you as a snake spirit first!" Jiang Xingchen hurriedly pulled the old man and walked forward quickly, avoiding the eyes around him who were attracted by the old man's voice.

Walking forward for a while, Jiang Xingchen dragged Sha Xing's son and asked, "Do you know where Salck's most upscale public place is?"

Sha Xing's son thought about it, glanced at the little cat woman carefully, lowered his voice and said, "It's Old Kaza's tavern! Things there are very expensive, and the people who go there to play are usually rich and powerful!"

"Go there to play!" Jiang Xingchen immediately grasped the word play and asked, "Have you been there to play?"

"I've been there once! That time it happened that Lao Kaza had brought a batch of beautiful women, and the prince came at that time......" As soon as he said this, Sha Xing's son suddenly had his eyes lit up.

"Stop!" Jiang Xingchen understood what this place was, and asked with a smile, "Then do they sell food there?"

"Of course it sells, it says it's a tavern, but in fact, there is everything to eat, drink and play, and I heard that the chef there has also gone to the east to learn it!"

"This is Qinglou!" Jiang Xingchen laughed and waved his big hand: "Let's go!" (To be continued......)
