Lingyu and Chang Yue'e rode their horses back, and just after walking more than three miles, Lingyu suddenly looked back and saw the dust and sand flying towards the Xing Wanshan caravan. Lingyu said that her voice was not good, so she beckoned Chang Yue'e to turn her horse's head and gallop towards Xing Wanshan's camel team.

Lingyu and Chang Yue'e rode their horses and quickly rushed to Xing Wanshan's camel team, and saw more than a dozen horsemen riding in front of the camel team, and the leader was talking to Xing Wanshan. Lingyu urged the horse to come closer and said, "Boss Xing, what's going on, who are they." Xing Wanshan said: "They are a caravan guard, just like the dart bureau in the Central Plains, specializing in protecting merchants who come and go, and we are old acquaintances." Lingyu said: "That's good, now you have more safety guarantees, and we are more at ease, we have to go back to catch up with the caravan quickly, so don't leave it at that." Xing Wanshan clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you again for your son's and wife's concern for Xing, you can go back quickly!" Lingyu and Chang Yue'e said to take care and turned their horses' heads to the east, and when they reached the fork in the morning, it was already dark.

Although Lingyu and Chang Yue'e were not sleepy, the horses were tired, and Lingyu said: "The horses are too tired to walk, so we might as well rest for one night and hurry again tomorrow morning." Chang Yue'e said: "Okay! After saying that, the two jumped off their horses, first gave the horses water and feeding, and then they sat down to eat dry food, and when they were full of food and drink, they were ready to rest. They had no tent so they had to sleep in the open, Lingyu spread the cloak on the ground, and the two of them lay on it covered with Chang Yue'e's cloak, and the two kissed for a while and then hugged each other and fell asleep.

Lingyu and Chang Yue'e woke up and saw that Dongfang had seen white, the two sat up, Chang Yue'e snuggled in Lingyu's arms and said coquettishly: "Husband, it's all for the sake of your wife, and you will suffer hardship." Lingyu stroked her hair, kissed her on the forehead and said, "As long as I can be with you." For you, but no matter how bitter and tired your wish is, I feel sweet. Don't feel guilty anymore. Chang Yuejiao smiled: "Okay." Listen to my husband, I want to be a happy bird and snuggle in my husband's arms every day. After speaking, he took the initiative to hug Lingyu and kiss her, Lingyu also hugged her tightly, and the two kissed for a while before parting.

After the two separated, Chang Yue'e took out a comb, and Lingyu hurriedly brought it over to help her comb her hair, and after combing. Chang Yue'e helped Lingyu comb her hair again, and after combing it, she saw that the east was already glowing, so the two hurriedly got on the horse, ate dry food while walking, and urged the horse to gallop away when they were full of food and drink.

Besides, Ma Junlan, Hao Yan, and Xiang'er followed Bayan's Yili caravan, and they didn't see Lingyu and Chang Yue'e come back at night, Xiang'er seemed to be a little anxious, and walked up to Bayan and said, "Uncle." Brother Ling and Sister E, why haven't they come back yet? Bayan said: "Maybe if you send Boss Xing and them farther, they may not be able to catch up tonight." Xiang'er said, "Uncle." Will they go the wrong way and not find us. Bayan said, "Don't worry! Xiang'er said, "Okay!" After speaking, she went to set up a tent with Ma Junlan and them.

After breakfast the next day, Ma Junlan and the others came to Bayan, and Xiang'er said, "Uncle, should we wait for Brother Ling and Sister E to go together." Bayan said: "No need, it is estimated that they will be able to catch up with us at noon." Xiang'er was silent when she heard him say this, and a few people packed up and got on their horses and followed the caravan on.

Ma Junlan said with a smile: "Sister Xiang, I haven't seen Brother Ling panic like this for a long time." Xiang'er smiled: "Don't you want to?" Ma Junlan smiled: "I don't want to, I just want to get out of the desert as soon as possible, and we will gallop on the grassland with my eldest brother, then it will be called cool." Hao Yan smiled: "I still don't want to say I don't want to, why do you want to gallop with my eldest brother, isn't it more majestic for you to gallop with a pegasus?" Ma Junlan smiled: "It's so boring to run alone, let's come together and you chase me to catch up." ”

Xiang'er said: "Where do you all want to go." Xia Hoti immediately stepped forward and said, "Madame Xiang is worried that we will encounter horse thieves. Xiang'er said: "Xia He is right, that's what I mean." Ma Junlan said: "What is there to worry about, it's not that we haven't seen horse thieves, as long as they dare to come, we just have to kill them." Xiang'er said: "If it's just a few of us, of course I'm not afraid." Ma Junlan said: "Are you worried about your uncle and those guards, they are also martial arts, just like the two gang of horse thieves we met before, they can deal with it if we don't make a move, but there may be some casualties." Chunlan said: "What Mrs. Lan said is right, our king and prince's kung fu are very good." Xiang'er said, "That's the case! Then I'll be relieved." ”

Bayan marched forward with the caravan, saw that the sand was getting less and less, and then came to a piece of yellow earth. Ma Junlan was pleasantly surprised: "Great, we are out of the desert." Chunlan said: "Mrs. Lan, you are too happy, is it too early to get out of the desert?" Bayan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately called the camel team to stop, Ma Junlan jumped off the horse and stepped forward and said, "Uncle, why stop when you just walked to a good road." Bayan looked at the sun and said, "It's almost noon, E'er, they should be almost there, let's rest and wait for them." ”

Ma Junlan looked forward and said, "You see that there are villages and towns in front." Bayan said: "It's not a village, it's just an ancient castle, the virtuous son-in-law heard from the Wu gang leader that in recent years, there is a group of horse thieves living in the ghost castle, and the leader is called Living Yama, I don't know if it's this castle." ”

It turns out that this ancient castle is the ghost castle that Wu Gang Master said, this castle was very prosperous in ancient times, because there was originally a small river passing by, and then the small river was diverted and lost its water source, and life was inconvenient, and later the people of the castle moved away. Now this castle is only a broken wall, I didn't expect that there is a mysterious tunnel under this castle, it turns out that this tunnel is the ancient people's defense bandit horse thief, a few years ago was discovered by a horse thief called live Yama, he took a group of horse thieves to hide here, they are haunted, caravan robbers, camels, horses, goods are nowhere to be found, so people call this place a ghost castle. When Bayan fled to the country and fled here, there were no horse thieves here.

Ma Junlan heard Bayan say that there might be a group of mysterious horse thieves living here, although she is not afraid of horse thieves, but she also does not want to take risks. So he said, "Okay, let's rest while waiting for the eldest brother and sister." ”

In order to prevent the horse thieves from attacking, Bayan ordered the Tuo team to be placed in a circle, and everyone sat down and took out water bags to drink, and everyone sat quietly after drinking water, and some of them were already napping. Ma Junlan also took a nap for a while, and suddenly thought of the mysterious castle in front of her, so she looked up at the broken wall, and at some point dozens of people came, all with scimitars in their hands, they had reached the promised place, but continued to march.

Seeing this, Ma Junlan immediately shouted: "The horse thief is here, everyone get ready." "Everyone first looked towards the ancient castle, and when they saw that the horse thief was really coming here, everyone hurriedly took out their blades and prepared to neigh.

Bayan said: "Don't panic, horse thieves are also people, they are not ghosts and gods, they have knives, we also have knives, we are not afraid of Hular's thousands of troops chasing and intercepting us, and we are afraid of dozens of horse thieves." The guards said in unison: "Don't worry, the king, we have never been afraid. After speaking, they were in high spirits, and the knife in their hands waved a few times to move their muscles and bones.

It turned out that this group of horse thieves was from the living Yama gang, and these horse thieves generally did not go to the distant castle to inquire about the news, most of them searched for news nearby, and when they saw the small caravan, they started to start, and gave up when they encountered a large caravan. Huoyan received news that the caravan was quite large, with a dozen camels, a dozen horses, and twenty or thirty people. The living Yama had planned to give up the robbery, but he couldn't resist the agitation of a new recruit. (To be continued.) )
