The heat wave is coming. The demons stood on both sides of the road, all vying to watch. It's all in full view, and it's stressful. A group of ragged and skinny demon soldiers looked at Ye Xuan with hope, scrutiny, and curiosity. The gaze of a group of people seems to be naturally stressful.

Ye Xuan and the three of them walked into the desert, and it was the first time that Ye Xuan had walked so far with a heavy sword on his back. The sword was wide and heavy, and there was a chill behind it. He didn't know how to use a sword, but he felt that something more seemed to be with him.

Finally, when the three of them couldn't see the oasis, and there were no more demon soldiers around, Ye Xuan looked at Zhao Acha, his brows furrowed, and he was a little puzzled: "Do you really want to stay?"

Zhao Acha nodded. "There are secrets in this desert. ”

"Secret?" Ye Xuan was surprised.

"A desert, eight hundred years of vicissitudes, there are still oases. And feed so many people. I want to stay and see what the people are like, and I want to take a hard look at whether Bai Qi really informed the other tribes. Zhao Acha said.

Ye Xuan looked at Zhao Acha's white face, and under the cold appearance, there was still some temperature. "It's not like you. ”

Zhao Acha frowned, "This princess doesn't know herself, how long have you and I known each other!"

Ye Xuan asked, "Here, what can you get?"

Zhao Acha turned and left, and the direction was the oasis. "Noise, nothing. You are very philistine and greedy. Not like a Taoist. ”

Ye Xuan was dumbfounded. At this moment, he was also silent, but Hongrui was still standing behind Ye Xuan safely, extremely calm. Until Zhao Acha walked far away, until he could no longer see the red shadow. Ye Xuan came back to his senses and muttered, "Probably get used to it." ”

Ye Xuan looked at Hongrui, who had been silent for a long time. "She's gone, are you still angry?"

Hongrui shook her head. "I didn't care about it for a long time. ”

"Are you talking about our city's philistine?" Ye Xuan asked.

Hongrui nodded. "Hmm. But it's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Ye Xuan's heart calmed down.

Hongrui continued: "Greed will make you lose your heart gradually. ”

"Greed is for a better life. Ye Xuan said a word that made him accept, and then found a reasonable explanation for himself.

"There are too many resources, and it's useless. You can't consume much, even if a lot of resources can make you feel safe. However, according to my long-term observation, the more resources people have, the greater the insecurity in their hearts, and it is really better to have nothing and live steadily. Hongrui said. The red stamen under the white clothes looks even more moving in the sun.

Ye Xuan nodded. "Let's go to Yecheng to find the fourth uncle. Through him, I met Feng Zongyu. ”

"Feng Zongyu?" Hongrui had apparently forgotten the name.

"He is the king of the northwest, and it is estimated that he can mobilize the materials of the entire great northwest to carry out this operation. Ye Xuan explained.

"Is he willing to mobilize so many resources? Hongrui asked.

"When the time comes, just find Shen Lang and bring the holy decree, I don't believe that the will of the demon emperor of the Great Zhou Empire can still have this weight. No matter how powerful the king of the northwest is, is it possible that he won't even listen to the order? After all, the cake is no bigger than the pot. Ye Xuan thought about the relationship and said with great confidence.

Red Ruile's face was happy. "It's funny that you're balancing like that. You can watch a play for free. ”

Ye Xuan's eyes were bright, and he was spinning around, not knowing what idea he was thinking. The two of them walked quietly in the desert towards the east. The two walked very slowly, the hot desert and the soft sand, step by step.

Finally, after walking for a long time, the sand under the scorching sun of the desert became hot. Ye Xuan looked around all the way, there were many huge rocks in the desert, all kinds of appearances, top-heavy, up and down stones, and there were many styles. But they all have one thing in common, that is, the surface is smooth and the lines are clear. And many of them also have natural carvings in the shape of stupas.

In the desert oasis, the ironclad battalion really didn't go out to kill again, after Zhao Acha said goodbye to Ye Xuan, he didn't return to the oasis where the ironclad camp was located, but was agile and centered on the ironclad battalion, and then looked around for the whereabouts of other tribes. Zhao Acha always had a feeling that Bai Qi seemed to be hiding something.

Sure enough, after searching for a long time, Zhao Acha found another oasis, the oasis is very large, and there are a lot of fertile fields in it, there are cattle and horses, and then breeding, compared with the ironclad camp, it seems like a normal home. There are also farmers carrying water in the fields.

Zhao Acha walked to the field, found the same skinny old man, and asked, "Old man, I am an outsider, is it too peaceful here?"

The old man looked at Zhao Acha, his dark face, his withered hand waved, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's not very peaceful, there are often horse bandits attacking. ”

"What then?" Zhao asked.

"Give it, otherwise the entire tribe will suffer more losses. Girl, from which tribe are you from?" asked the old man.

Zhao Acha shook his head. "I'm from outside the desert, and within three months, I'll be able to take you out when the time comes. ”

The old man said in a panic, "Go out, you mean outside the desert?" The old man's expression was a little flustered. His hands were sweating, and the hoe he was holding was a little trembling.

Zhao Acha looked at the old man and was a little puzzled. "Isn't it good to go out. The outside world is wonderful. ”

The old man shook his head, and looked at her with a weak look in his eyes: "I'm old, I can live here, and if I leave here, and then go outside, it's even worse if I don't have land to grow food." Although it is a little bitter here, there is a piece of land that can still be lived, and what are you going out to eat?" After the old man finished speaking, he continued to pick up the hoe and hit the ground.

Zhao Acha was silent. What the old man said was not unreasonable, although she wanted to say that she could find an idle job after going out, but when she thought of the shortage of jobs in the city, and a bunch of beggars living on the streets, Zhao Acha was sad.

"It's okay, after a while those bandits will leave here, and you can live in peace. When Zhao Acha said this, he was very happy.

The old man's hand trembled slightly. "It's a blessing or a curse, but it's not necessarily. ”

Zhao Acha was a little puzzled by this. "What does that mean?"

The old man finally turned around and looked at Zhao Acha. "There was a group of sheep on the grassland grazing happily, and there was always a pack of wolves beside them, and they picked up the sick and old sheep to eat, and suddenly one day, the wolf pack was gone, and wolves in sheep's clothing appeared in the flock, and they were more ferocious than the previous wolves. In any case, the sheep are always bitter, so I say it is a blessing or a curse, I can't say, but I am old, and I don't have many years to live. ”

Zhao Acha was silent. What the old man said made her feel shocked.
