It was Cheng Bo and Gui Yuxuan who came out of the sky.

Shen Yong's heart was cold, in the battle just now, he and Qiao Jing were both injured by Gui Yuxuan, Xue Tong's arm had been abolished before, Lu Bufan was seriously injured and had not recovered, and Xue Qi did not know any martial arts, and now Cheng Bo suddenly appeared again, if he didn't resist to the death, I was afraid that he would have to wait for death.

Cheng Bo first said in a deep voice: "A few of you should go back with me." ”

Xue Tong knew that a desperate battle was inevitable, so he simply turned his heart sideways and said coldly: "Hmph, don't think about it!"

Cheng Bo smiled: "Do you think that just by virtue of the fact that you are now losing your souls one by one, you can beat me and the third sister?"

Shen Yong secretly said that it was over, he had to be in the desert today! People often come to the most dangerous time, but they are calm. Shen Yong is like this at present, and Xue Tong is in the same mood, only to hear Xue Tong say proudly: "Then why not try it?"

Cheng Bo sneered, Shen Yong saw that his two eyes had shot out a fine light through the mask, and heard him say sharply: "Okay!"

The figure flashed, and it was indeed Gui Yuxuan who took the lead. But listening to the word "good" before it was dispersed, the soft whip had already rolled towards Qiao Jing, she knew that Qiao Jing had the highest martial arts among several people, if she leveled him first, it would not be easy to deal with the two hairy boys! Qiao Jing hurriedly dodged, but heard Gui Yuxuan shout, and stepped forward with a palm! The strong wind whistled the yellow sand, Qiao Jing shot out backwards, but behind him Cheng Bo had already slammed his palms and hit it, Qiao Jing met the enemy left and right, couldn't parry, his body quickly jumped sideways, his left hand shook a palm slightly, the palm wind was like an iron plate sinking cone, roaring and rushing, restraining Gui Yuxuan's momentum, but Cheng Bo's palm he couldn't avoid it, only heard a scream.

Shen Yong's heart was shocked, and he shouted that it was not good, and before he could come forward to help, Qiao Jing's body had been knocked out by Cheng Bo's palm force two feet away. Shen Yong hurriedly chased after him, grabbed Qiao Jing, and asked angrily: "Two fight one, do you still want to be embarrassed?" Shen Yong's face sank, and he waved his palm at Cheng Bo, and Cheng Bo's eyes were sharp, as if he was thinking. It turned out that the Nine Heavens Terrifying Dragon Palm practiced by Cheng Bo was the most yang and fierce kung fu, and Shen Yong's Xuan Bing Heart Law was among the coldest and softest, which was just enough to restrain Cheng Bo's skills. Cheng Bo saw Shen Yong's palm coming, his heart was shocked, and he was about to change his tricks to greet him, but before Shen Yong's palm power arrived, his chest suddenly couldn't turn in one breath, and he made a noise and fell into the yellow sand. Xue Qi was stunned, he raised his hand to caress Shen Yong's chest, only to feel that his whole body was cold, his breath was getting weaker and weaker, his face was pale and uncertain, and his body was even more trembling. Xue Tong touched it with his tentacles, but it seemed to touch a piece of ice, which was extremely cold.

Gui Yuxuan's eyes flashed, and a sneer flashed on her lips: "You can't protect yourself, what kind of reason do you have to talk to us scum of the rivers and lakes, it's really ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"You ......" Xue Tong, who was angry, was speechless for a while.

Before the words came out, everyone suddenly felt a violent shaking under their feet! Xue Tong's face was full of surprise, at that time there was already a strong wind around him, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound above his head, by the light of the stars and the moon, Xue Tong looked up and saw that the stone frame of a watchtower outside the Hansha Castle collapsed, and a large pile of yellow sand poured into the watchtower, like cotton wool absorbing water, the watchtower gradually could not bear the pressure, and cracks began to appear from the doors and windows, and the watchtower was about to collapse, and everyone was shocked.

Xue Tong didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly glanced at Xue Qi, and pushed her out violently.

In an instant, I saw that the stone and gravel of the watchtower fell down one after another, and a large piece of yellow sand tore apart the watchtower, and the sand tide like a huge thunder shook the sky like thousands of horses, and rushed to the ground in the call sign. In the blink of an eye, it had fallen to Xue Tong's side and buried most of his body.

The yellow sand was permeated, filling the surroundings, and Cheng Bo and Gui Yuxuan, who noticed that something was wrong, wanted to jump away, but no matter how they lifted their spirits, they could only drag their feet and walk with difficulty. As soon as he walked out of a hundred steps away, there was a rumble behind him, and the wild sand swept in, converging into a wall of sand in an instant, sweeping like angry waves, instantly submerging several people.

The roar resounded through the desert.

I don't know how long it took, the sun was already shining in the desert, and in the lonely yellow sand, a jade hand suddenly poked out, like a soft wattle, and the skin was like clotted fat. I saw that the hand pulled the yellow sand in front of him, and after a while, a woman suddenly stood up from the yellow sand, only to see her gasping for breath, looking a little frightened. The man seemed to have been lost in a dream, and his ignorant thoughts turned around a few times before he woke up. She looked around and shouted, "Fourth brother, where are you?" This person is Xue Qi.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of "plop", and a person stood up in the sand, it was Shen Yong. He shook the sand off his body and head vigorously, looked at Xue Qi and quipped, "We didn't even die." When Xue Qi saw Shen Yong, he exclaimed: "You... Are you okay?" Shen Yong resounded from the scene just now, and couldn't help scratching his head and laughing: "I was really ashamed just now, I originally wanted to teach Uncle Cheng a lesson, but I didn't know that my body was countered by the cold qi, but I thought that it might be that the true qi has been used frequently recently, so the power of the counterattack will be so rapid." Xue Qi didn't understand what he was talking about, so he just said that he was fine, ignored him, and shouted to himself: "Fourth brother!" There was a dead silence all around, where did anyone respond. After screaming a few more times, Xue Qi was a little anxious, and he burst into tears, whimpering and reading, "Fourth brother, where are you!" Crying and crying, suddenly screaming, the whole person fell into the yellow sand again.

Shen Yong was startled, walked away, reached out to the sand, grabbed a corner of Xue Qi's clothes, pulled her out with a force, and patted the dust on her face. But Xue Qi, who was still yelling and screaming to find her brother just now, has closed her eyes tightly at this moment, her face is pale, and Shen Yong only feels that there is still a trace of warmth on the tip of her nose, but she also wants to stop.

Shen Yong shook Xue Qi vigorously and shouted, "Hey, Miss Xue, what's wrong with you!" As he spoke, Shen Yong felt as if something had slipped under his feet, and he was surprised in his heart, and grabbed it with his hand, and actually picked up a scorpion that was more than three inches long. Shen Yong observed that its back was greenish-brown, its hindbelly was brownish-yellow, its body had six segments, longitudinal grooves on the nodes, and sharp hook-like stingers on the distal joints, which was the eightfold scorpion recorded in the book. Shen Yong hurriedly lifted Xue Qi's legs up, only to see a pinprick sting on the sole of her left foot, and said in his heart: "Oh no, this kind of eightfold scorpion that haunts the desert all year round is highly poisonous, this Xue girl was injured by scorpion venom, but how is it good." ”

was thinking about his idea, but Xue Qi slowly opened his eyes, moved his pale lips, and said weakly: "How can I be numb all over, I don't have any strength." Shen Yong comforted: "It's not in the way, you're tired, just take a good rest." Shen Yong looked at her directly, and she also looked at Shen Yong, and the two actually laughed.

Shen Yong was concerned about Xue Qi's injury, and just wanted to seek medical treatment nearby, so he hurriedly leaned over to pick her up, and was about to leave, but found that there were endless sand dunes all around, no roads, no markers, and even Han Sand Castle was gone!

Shen Yong panicked: "This ...... What about Hansha Castle? What about Xue Tong and Qiao Jing?" Crazy thoughts rushed to him, could it be that the great storm just now blew away the Hansha Castle? But after thinking about it, how is it possible, Hansha Castle has stood in the desert for decades, and it can stand tall without falling, how can a storm destroy it?

At this time, I suddenly heard a shout not far behind me: "Hey, who are you, why are you here?"

Shen Yong looked back, only to see a figure appear as far as his eyes could see, and the shadow kept shaking, as if someone was coming. Shen Yong was overjoyed in his heart: "God really treats me well, didn't he send a god to save me." "Hey, I'm here!"

The shadow floated on the sea of sand, getting closer and closer, Shen Yong finally saw clearly, more than a dozen people in heavy armor, riding war horses under their crotches, like a dark cloud walking in the desert against the wind, at this moment they were only a few feet away from Shen Yong. Shen Yong exclaimed: "You are soldiers?"

At that time, the world was in turmoil, the regime was divided, the wars between the ten countries were continuous, there were countless deserters and bandits, and in order to fill their stomachs, they burned and looted all kinds of evil, Shen Yong only said that they had bad intentions, and their right hand had gathered true qi and was ready to meet the enemy.

When he arrived, the leader slowly pulled out his saber with doubts in his eyes, and asked as if guarded: "Who are you?" Shen Yong saw that he had no intention of making a move, and replied: "My name is Shen Yong, and my friend and I encountered a big storm in the desert, I don't know where it was blown to, and I can't find my way back." The person who spoke saw Shen Yong holding a woman in his arms, and asked, "What's wrong with her?" Shen Yong said: "This friend of mine was stung by a poisonous scorpion and is now unconscious, I am about to find a village to settle down in order to heal her, but I don't want to get lost in the desert, and I hope that a few military masters will rescue her." The leader, slowly sheathing his saber, said, "It looks like you've met quicksand, and I'm still a robber." "When there is a storm in the desert, it is often accompanied by the appearance of quicksand, which can suck people into the yellow sand, once someone is trapped, they can not extricate themselves, they can only watch themselves being sunk into the bottom of the sand, like flowing water is carried away. Shen Yong didn't know how powerful the quicksand was, so he just smiled bitterly: "But I don't look like a bandit." The man said, "In today's world, it's better to be careful." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the few people who followed behind him turned their horses and left, he glanced at Shen Yong again, and said: "We are the soldiers under Zheng Shaoqing, the Taishou of Hexi, this time we were ordered to go to Liangzhou to escort supplies, I see that your friend is not lightly injured, and there is no village nearby, it is better to go to Liangzhou with us for medical treatment, it is better than going around in this desert." Shen Yong was overjoyed and said, "Then there is General Lao." ”

The leader then summoned a carriage, settled Shen Yong and Xue Qi on the carriage, and went to Liangzhou with the team. This place is less than 100 miles away from Liangzhou, if it is a fast horse attack, it will arrive in half a day at most, but there are a lot of heavy military materials, so you can only move forward slowly. Shen Yong was worried that Xue Qi would be poisonous, so he went to the leader to borrow a horse and rushed to Liangzhou with Xue Qi first.

Liangzhou is located in the border of Han and Qiang, is the key to the world, is the rich land of "populated and mulberry thick", and is an important town in the northwest commercial port, since ancient times, it has been called "the first line in the desert, the throat of the five counties". Shen Yong was led by a marching scout, but he arrived in Liangzhou in half a day, the scout came and went here many times, and was very familiar with Liangzhou, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he led Shen Yong to the most famous "Guangji Hall" in the city. Entering the door of the pharmacy, Shen Yong looked at an old man with a long beard who was checking people's pulses, walked over quickly, and said, "Please ask Mr. for help!" The old man was stunned when he heard this, and saw that the woman in his arms was purple, and his anger was like a thread, so he hurriedly greeted someone and put Xue Qi on a wooden bed to check his pulse. After a long time, the old man said: "This eightfold scorpion is really powerful, and it has to be sent in time, if it passes tonight, I am afraid that I will be unable to return to the sky." After that, he prescribed a prescription and instructed Shen Yong to take the medicine according to the prescription, take one dose in the morning and one in the evening, and he would be cured in less than five days. When Shen Yong learned that Xue Qi was fine, he immediately relieved himself, and he took Xue Qi to an inn and settled down.

Five days passed suddenly. Shen Yong guarded Xue Qi for five days and five nights, she breathed according to the medicine, and the faint purple qi on her face had disappeared, and Shen Yong was relieved.

In the early winter of Liangzhou, the north wind is already howling, and it is extremely cold. On this day, the morning sun was slowly rising, and Shen Yong, who was still sleeping with his head covered in the inn, suddenly heard a banging on the door. He rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "Who, it's early in the morning." As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xue Qi standing in front of the door with a good groom, and said with a smile: "It's three poles in the morning, why are you still sleeping?" Shen Yong scratched his face, and said a little embarrassed: "Miss Xue got up so early, is this going to visit Liangzhou City?" Xue Qi said: "Shen Gongzi, I am now healed, I want to go to the desert to find the fourth brother, do you want to go?" Shen Yong was stunned for a moment, and said: "You want to go to the desert to find Brother Xue?" Xue Qi nodded firmly. Shen Yonglin said: "This ...... I don't think it's good to go. Xue Qi said blankly: "Why? Are you afraid of Cheng Bo and them?" Shen Yong said: "How can I be afraid of those people, I am also very worried about the safety of Brother Xue, but the desert is unpredictable, if we rush in, if we encounter a storm again, we will inevitably die here, not to mention Qiao Dart's superb martial arts, it is expected that he and Brother Xue Tong will be fine, maybe they have returned to Tanzhou at this moment, in my opinion, it is better to return to the Sword Refining Villa first, and then think about it in the long run." Xue Qi was worried about Xue Tong, but he felt that Shen Yong's words were quite reasonable, and muttered: "It's all about it." ”

Shen Yong pondered, it must be extremely difficult to cross the desert with Xue Qi and the two of them again, if he could find a caravan, led by them to enter and exit the desert, and he could be safe and sound, he would find the innkeeper who was well-informed. The inn is full of people, and the innkeeper is certainly a good candidate to buy and sell news. After spending a few taels of silver, I learned from the boss that a caravan was heading south today, so he hurried to meet the caravan outside the city gate.

On the way back, the yellow sand is still the same, but Xue Qi's state of mind is very different from when he first arrived in the desert. Thinking of his brother Xue Tong and Qiao Jing, who was seriously injured to save them, he couldn't help but feel stunned. Shen Yong saw that Xue Qi's brows were tightly locked, so he wanted to distract her thoughts, and quipped: "I heard that the girl reads through the poetry book, and you can know that 'the desert is dusty and the sun is dark, and the red flag is half rolled out of the gate.'" The former army fought in Taohebei at night, and has reported the life of the poem "Shen Yong looked at the boundless desert around him, and unconsciously remembered this poem, which was originally made by the former Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling, and in just over 20 words, the military might on the northwest battlefield was vividly written. Xue Qi nodded and said: "Wang Changling is known for his seven peers, and this poem alone is difficult to surpass in terms of the difficulty of conceiving and driving out language. The businessman on the side listened to them discussing poetry there, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "You little couple are really interesting, walking in this vast desert, but there is still leisure to bite the word Wenjue there, haha." The surrounding businessmen also laughed. Hearing the man call them a little couple, Xue Qi suddenly had a tender face and a shyness, and said angrily: "Who is the two with him!" The one who spoke was a rough man, and when he saw Xue Qi's face flushed, it was really funny, and he smiled again: "Look at it, the little lady is still shy." When Xue Qi heard this, he covered his face with both hands, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and drill down. Shen Yongwan smiled and shouted: "Isn't it a businessman's eldest brother, you have taken a fancy to my lady, you go back home carefully, your lady knows, and I won't let you kneel for three days and three nights." Then one of them chimed in: "Aha, what an old horse, you dare to flirt with other girls, if you let your tigress know, I won't pick your skin!" scolded: "Get out of the way!" Everyone looked at him, their faces were sad, it turned out that he was really afraid of his wife, and they couldn't help laughing.

Xue Qi saw Shen Yong relieving himself, and said in his heart: "This nerd looks dumbfounded, but he is also a person who solves the wind and moon." In the days when she was recuperating in Liangzhou, Shen Yong stayed by her side day and night, for fear that her injury would change. And as soon as she opened her eyes every day, she saw Shen Yong sleeping on the round table in the room, and she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.
