From today onwards, Ouyang Mansion and the Burial Sword Tower will be regarded as friends, and this is also the first Jianghu force that the Burial Sword Tower has made since its establishment. Although for now, Ouyang Mansion has not promised to help the Burial Sword Tower, but in the future, with the growth of the Burial Sword Tower, there will naturally be more and more opportunities for cooperation between the two sides!

On the same day, Zhang Peng and the three of them got drunk in Ouyang Mansion, and Ouyang Chun also proposed at the banquet that he wanted to marry his youngest daughter Ouyang Shihan to Zhang Peng. It's just that Zhang Peng rejected it on the grounds that the age difference is too big!

For this kind of refusal, it made Ouyang Shihan's heart unhappy for a while.

Although Ouyang Shihan would not agree to be with Zhang Peng really together, being rejected still made Ouyang Shihan's proud heart feel a little unhappy!

Also unhappy is Ouyang Qiudao. As for his feelings for Ouyang Shihan, in this Ouyang Mansion, I'm afraid that only Ouyang Chun, the head of the family, can't see it! As for whether he really can't see it, or if he pretends to be confused, it is unknown!

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Peng and the others came to bid farewell to Ouyang Chun. Hearing that the three of them were going to leave so quickly, Ouyang Chun was also a little surprised.

"Brother Zhang, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I have only been in Suzhou City for two days, and I will stay for a few more days, so that I can do my best to be a landlord!"

"We understand the kindness of the head of the Ouyang family, but my brother is in trouble, and now his life is in danger, we really don't dare to delay!

"Haha...... I won't keep you any longer, be careful on your way!"

After Zhang Peng and the three of them said goodbye to Ouyang Chun, they left Suzhou City.

At the station, Zheng Yingjun retrieved the carriage, while Zhang Peng was flipping through a map given to him by Shi Yuzi.

"Peng, should we go to Kunlun Mountain to find the Forget-Worry Grass first, or should we go to the Desert outside the Saiwai to find the Nine-Eyed Snake first?"

Zhang Peng gestured with his hand to the map, as if measuring the distance.

"Let's continue to walk northwest! Go to Saiwai, first go to find the Nine-Eyed Snake, and then go south back to Kunlun Mountain, so that we can go back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicine directly after coming out of Kunlun Mountain!"

Zheng Yingjun smiled and said, "Yes, Saiwai! I remember that Mo Yi seems to be the master of Saiwai Cloud Snow City, right?"

Zhang Peng nodded and said: "Inexplicable, Ouyang Ye and Ma Shang are indeed the masters of Cloud Snow City, but now they should be under the command of Luo Yuchen, if Luo Yuchen doesn't get rid of us one day, he will use these three people one day! So they should be in Luoxia Valley, and they won't be able to return to Yun Xuecheng for a while! We don't have to worry about running into them on this trip!"

Zheng Yingjun scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of meeting them, I just want to go directly to Cloud Snow City and buy it for a lot of money instead of going to the desert to find this thing ourselves!"

"Is there anything for sale in Cloud Snow City?"

Zhang Peng is interested now, if the snake gall of the nine-eyed snake is sold in Cloud Snow City, then the matter will be much simpler. Since they established the Burial Sword Tower and formed an alliance with Zhou Wanchen, there is nothing else, but the silver taels on their bodies are too many to count.

Zheng Yingjun said with a smile: "But if there is such a thing, there must be some for sale! As far as I know, there is a trading ground in Yunxue City, which is personally run by the city lord, and in that trading ground, almost all the rare treasures outside the city can be found, but some of this transaction is made of gold and silver, and some of them are bartered!"

"Barter?"

"Many people are not short of money at all, they just want to exchange a treasure for a treasure that is more useful to themselves, which is bartering!"

Hearing this, Zhang Peng nodded, and then said: "Let's go all the way to Cloud Snow City, if we can't find it in the desert, then let's go directly to Cloud Snow City to try our luck!"

"Okay!"

Zheng Yingjun shouted excitedly, then jumped into the carriage, raised his horsewhip, and walked towards the northwest plug.

It's been a month and a half.

When he arrived at the town at the pass, Zheng Yingjun sold the carriage, because it was a desert when he got out of the pass, and it was difficult for horses to move an inch in the desert, unless it was a unique horse breed in the Western Regions. So they had to dispose of the wagon, and then bought three camels and rode out of the customs!

In order not to cause trouble, Zhang Peng dressed the three of them as ordinary merchants, because there were many camel caravans coming and going in the desert, so his dress was also in line with local characteristics.

Out of the pass, there is an endless desert, only the wind-eroded stone monuments that appear in the desert every dozen miles, marking the road to the different towns outside the Saiwai.

These steles are to play the role of guidance, if you have been walking in one direction for a long time and have not seen a stele, it means that you have been lost, if you can't find the stele to guide the way within two days, then there is only one ending, die in the desert!

At this time, it is the middle of spring, in fact, it is not hot, but at noon in the desert, it still makes people sweat, and at night it makes people shiver from the cold!

If Zhang Peng and Zheng Yingjun were not martial arts masters, and Shi Yuzi was not a doctor, it would be strange that these three people walked into the desert in such a daze, and they did not die!

I don't know how many days I walked, because a few people experienced the horror of the boundlessness, so the speed was not fast, but because of this, they were always able to adjust the route in time and find the stone tablet to guide the way. So as not to get lost.

In the evening, Zhang Peng surrounded the three camels in a triangle, lit the firewood he brought, lit a bonfire, took out some of his own naan cakes and jerky, and distributed them to Zheng Yingjun and Shi Yuzi. In the past few days, almost every meal they have had has been solved like this.

"Damn, why is this desert so cold at night!"

Zheng Yingjun moved his body towards the bonfire while eating jerky.

Zhang Peng said with a smile: "People say that fat people are not afraid of cold, why are you so afraid of cold?"

Zheng Yingjun snorted, did not speak, continued to roast the fire, ate, and from time to time picked up the wine bag and poured a few sips.

Shi Yuzi wore the thickest, and at night, Zhang Peng and the coats they brought were all wrapped in Shi Yuzi. Because Shi Yuzi almost doesn't know martial arts, and his body is thin, he is also the most can't help but toss among the three.

Shi Yuzi sighed and said with a smile: "Zhang Shaoxia, I heard that you grew up in the Saibei area, no matter how you look at it, you are not very familiar with the environment in this desert

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Huh?"

Zhang Peng licked his chapped lips and said with a smile: "The area around Saibei can only be regarded as wasteland at most, not a desert in the real sense, this desert full of yellow sand, and the wind is still blowing at every turn, but it is the first time I have come into contact with it!"

Hearing Zhang Peng's words, Zheng Yingjun smiled and said, "Peng, you said that you can't even see a ghost in this desert during the day, but at night you can vaguely see a few lights in the distance, what's going on?"

"Those may be other caravans! During the day, everyone was on their way, and the terrain in the desert was one after another, and when a gust of wind blew, the terrain changed again, so it was normal not to see each other. At night, the bonfire stands out in the night, so it's not surprising to see it! At the very least, we know that there are more than just the three of us in the desert!"

Zheng Yingjun stood up and howled a few times into the distance, and when the sound fell, a few wolf howls came from a distance, which frightened Zheng Yingjun and hurriedly sat down.

Shi Yuzi's face changed even more frightened, and he hurriedly said: "Zheng Shaoxia, don't scream!

In fact, on the first night they entered the desert, Zheng Yingjun had shouted to the campfire in the distance, but the light of the bonfire looked not far away, but it was actually far away, so the other caravans did not hear Zheng Yingjun's roar, but attracted a small group of desert wolves, about a dozen.

Later, it was solved by Zheng Yingjun one by one. After this incident, Zheng Yingjun didn't dare to roar at night easily, for fear that the next time he would recruit not a dozen, but dozens or even hundreds, it would be troublesome!

Seeing Shi Yuzi's face turned pale with fright, Zheng Yingjun smiled and said, "Look at you, I'm calling out to those caravans, see if there is anything delicious to exchange!"

Zhang Peng grabbed a piece of dried meat and threw it at Zheng Yingjun, and said: "This is the desert, what can I eat?

Zheng Yingjun grabbed the jerky and was about to speak, when he inadvertently glanced at Shi Yuzi's eyes and was stunned, and then a touch of joy emerged.

"Who said no! hehe......

Seeing Zheng Yingjun's appearance, Zhang Peng also looked at Shi Yuzi curiously, only to see a long snake with the thickness of a small arm slowly crawling up Shi Yuzi's waist.

Shi Yuzi was also stunned, and then looked at his waist, but saw a pair of small eyes staring at him, and a slightly open snake head with fangs and spitting scarlet letters!

"Ahh

"Shh

Shi Yuzi subconsciously wanted to exclaim, but was interrupted by Zhang Peng in time.

"Brother Shi, don't move, I'll help you get it away!"

When Zheng Yingjun heard this, he hurriedly whispered: "Peng, don't move! I'll come, this is delicious, don't alarm it, I said Brother Shi, don't move for half a minute!"

As he spoke, Zheng Yingjun moved his body slightly, with a greedy expression on his face, and slowly approached Shi Yuzi, and his right hand was already unconsciously placed on the handle of the golden knife.

"Brother Shi, don't move a little! That snake is now in your lower abdomen, if you move, I'm afraid that my knife will be missed, and it won't be good to cut off that thing of yours again! hehe......"

Zhang Peng saw that Shi Yuzi's face was already a little pale with fright, and he frowned and said, "Don't make trouble!

The corners of Zheng Yingjun's mouth became bigger and bigger, and the greed in his eyes became thicker and thicker.

"Poof!"

A light sound pierced the night sky, and then Shi Yuzi only felt that the golden light flashed in front of him, and something in his lower abdomen was lightly touched, and then he felt that his body was suddenly light, and then he looked at the snake, which had been cut off by Zheng Yingjun's knife, and the snake's body twisted and slid to the ground.

Zheng Yingjun thrust the golden knife forward, and the blade just cut into the snake body, and the snake body twisted a few times again, and then there was no movement.

"Whew!"

Only then did Shi Yuzi let out a sigh of relief, and his face began to slowly return to normal.

Zheng Yingjun picked up the snake body, chopped the snake body into several sections, and then threaded these sections with a thin log, and then swaggered on the fire to roast them.

Zhang Peng smiled slightly, and said to Zheng Yingjun: "You fat man is really greedy!"

Zheng Yingjun grinned and said to Shi Yuzi: "Brother Shi, I said that your guts are too small! But it doesn't matter, I'll make up for it when I get the snake meat exam......, and I'll make it up for you!"

Shi Yuzi barely showed a smile, then raised his eyes to look at the snake's head, then looked at the snake's body carefully, and hurriedly took out a bag of medicinal materials from his baggage and threw it at Zheng Yingjun.

"This snake is poisonous, and the snake meat is not clean, you can sprinkle this packet of medicine on it, and you can eat it with confidence!"

Zheng Yingjun sighed, then sprinkled the medicinal noodles on the snake meat, and made a sizzling sound, and a fragrance came out.

"What kind of ingredient is this, so fragrant with snake meat?"

Zheng Yingjun asked with a smile.

Zhang Peng shook his head helplessly and said, "Fortunately, there is Brother Shi, otherwise you will die under this gluttony tonight!"

"Hey, hey!"

Zheng Yingjun smiled, and at the same time distributed the snake meat that had been tested to Zhang Peng and Shi Yuzi to eat, all the meat they had eaten in the past few days was dried meat, it was rare to have such a delicacy, and the three of them were also addicted.

At night, Zhang Peng and the three snuggled up to the camel and fell asleep grogily.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Zheng Yingjun turned over and walked to the side to make it convenient.

When he was finished, just as he was wearing his belt in a daze, a fresh breeze blew across his face.

Originally, Zheng Yingjun didn't care, and was going to go back and sleep for a while. But just when the gust of wind was about to blow, Zheng Yingjun's eyes suddenly opened, and then his whole body trembled, and his head quickly turned to the place where the wind blew.

It was a hazy darkness and nothing could be seen. But Zheng Yingjun was not a trace of sleepiness, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Because he clearly smelled a faint smell of blood from the breeze just now!

Zheng Yingjun walked up to Zhang Peng and gently pushed Zhang Peng with his hand.

"Hmm

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

？”

Zhang Peng rubbed his eyes and looked at Zheng Yingjun suspiciously. When he saw Zheng Yingjun's serious face, he was also stunned, and his sleepiness quickly retreated.

"Brother Zheng?"

"Shh

Following the direction of Zheng Yingjun's finger, the two looked into the distance, where there was nothing but darkness.

"That's not right!"

Zhang Peng's originally puzzled expression was stunned, and his face gradually became solemn, there was not only darkness, but also a large group of figures shaking in the darkness. It's just that if you don't look closely, you can't see it, and you think it's a phantom.

"What's that?"

Zhang Peng asked with some curiosity.

Zheng Yingjun licked his lips with his tongue and sneered: "I don't know, but I clearly smelled a thick bloody breath in the air just now!"

"Bloody breath?"

Shi Yuzi woke up at some point and happened to hear Zheng Yingjun's words.

"What blood?"

Zhang Peng stood up, tidied up his clothes, moved his fists and feet, then looked up into the distance, and said slowly: "The breath that comes out after killing people is the breath of blood!"

"What? Killing? Who kills?"

Shi Yuzi exclaimed.

Zheng Yingjun twisted his neck, and there was a "rattling" sound between his necks. He sneered and said, "Who kills, we will soon know!"

"Why?"

"Because they're already coming towards us!"

Hearing this, Shi Yuzi was startled, and subconsciously looked at the bonfire that was still glowing red.

"Could it be the Desert Wolf Eagle!"

Shi Yuzi's words aroused the curiosity of Zhang Peng and Zheng Yingjun.

Zhang Peng opened his mouth and asked, "What is the Desert Wolf Eagle?"

Shi Yuzi swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, and said slowly: "The desert wolf eagle is actually the bandits in the desert, specializing in robbing and killing caravans in the desert! They are led by two people, with dozens of subordinates, one of these two people is called the blue wolf, and the other is called the falcon! Their gang is called the desert wolf eagle, which means that they have the ferocity of a wolf and the sharpness of an eagle! When I was buying a camel, I heard the merchant say that he also told us to be careful, and when we encounter a desert wolf and eagle, it is generally a certain death! Therefore, the caravans walking in the desert are generally numerous, and many masters are invited as escorts, but even so, there are still repeated news that the caravans have been killed! The current caravans can only ask for more blessings for themselves, just don't meet them! Now, looking at this posture, it seems that we are so unfortunate that we have encountered this desert wolf eagle!"

After listening to Shi Yuzi's words, Zheng Yingjun grinned and said: "What kind of great thing should I be, isn't it just a group of thieves? It's okay, uncle, I'm waiting for them here, it just so happens that I haven't had a chance to do it these days, and my golden knife is a little rusty......!"

Zheng Yingjun's words did not make Zhang Peng feel relaxed, Zhang Peng thought that this desert goshawk could crisscross the border for so many years, how could it be a group of ordinary thieves?

"By the way, Brother Shi, could it be that the Great Desert Wolf Eagle is so rampant outside the pass, hasn't Yun Xuecheng made any moves? It stands to reason that in their territory, these people should not be allowed to live in their territory?"

Shi Yuzi smiled bitterly: "Since ancient times, the official and bandit family, it is said that this desert wolf eagle pays countless treasures to the city lord of Yunxue City every year, in order to be safe and sound for a year! As long as the desert wolf eagle does not go too far, and only occasionally robs and kills, it will not affect the normal order of Yunxue City, then Yunxue City will naturally turn a blind eye!"

"Damn! Lao Tzu knew that there was nothing good in that Cloud Snow City!" Zheng Yingjun snorted coldly.

As he spoke, he saw the yellow sand rolling in the distance, and then the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves sounded, accompanied by the neighing of horses, and a group of bandits howled wantonly.

"The momentum is okay, typical bandit!" Zheng Yingjun commented.

Zhang Peng smiled but did not speak, his eyes still staring at the rapidly approaching desert wolf eagle.

At this moment, the sky is already white.

After a while, the fifty or sixty people rode their horses in front of Zhang Peng and the three of them, and surrounded Zhang Peng and the three of them in the midst of howling and roaring.

On the horses of some bandits, there were still bloody human heads, at least thirty or forty!

There were also some bandits whose horses were firmly bound to motionless women, most of whom were women in the caravan, and when they were caught, the fate would have been extremely miserable.

The lone wolf in the desert seized the gold and silver treasures and occupied the women of the caravan, and as for the men of the caravan, they all killed and beheaded them, and they used this to show off their military exploits! Such bandits are extremely evil! Heaven does not tolerate it!

Zheng Yingjun leaned on the camel and squinted at these people, while Zhang Peng stood motionless in the middle, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

As for Shi Yuzi, he was still snuggled aside, looking at the group of people with some horror.

In the crowd, a big man rode forward, this big man was tall and mighty, his height was already two meters away, his face was full of beard, a golden hoop was worn on his head, his long curly hair was strangled, his body was wrapped in a sheepskin coat, and he was holding a large sickle as a weapon, the blade of the sickle was shining with cold light at the moment, and the big man was riding on the horse, quite majestic.

"Hey, it's just three people, what about you others?"

Dahan's voice was like a bell, unusually thick and loud.

Zhang Peng glanced at the big man and said coldly: "There are only three of us, I don't know who you are?"

"Haha, I met someone who didn't know us today!" the big man said mockingly, causing the surrounding bandits to laugh.

Then Da Han's tone changed, and he shouted: "If you don't know us, you dare to walk outside the gate!"

"I don't know you, why can't I walk outside the gate?"

Without waiting for Zhang Peng to answer, Zheng Yingjun's lazy and arrogant voice on the side came.
