Chapter 22: Desert Escape: The Legend of the Fire Dragon (1)

Nangong Yu waited in the room for an hour and a half before they heard the sound of "oh" gently tapping on the wooden board. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he hurriedly reopened the secret passage, and Ouyang Ye returned to the guest room with a gloomy face. In addition to him, there are also pearls.

Ouyang Ye sat on the chair silently, took a sip of tea, and was silent. There was silence in the room, and all eyes were on him. Ouyang Ye suddenly said: "You can't stay here, boy, you take Shan'er and Guoguo and leave tonight." Nangong Yu was surprised: "Why are you leaving?" Ouyang Ye said in a deep voice: "The old man just listened to the conversation in Tan Mian's house, and Lu Xie and the others plan to cooperate with Jinyiwei to get a piece of the pie, hum, a group of shameless things." ”

Nangong Yu had already understood, and said, "Even if the Tongtian Gang covets the treasure, my second senior brother and Tan Mian have a deep blood feud, and it is impossible to cooperate with him." Ouyang Ye sneered: "The kid surnamed Shen has a fart, and Lu Xie is still in charge of the big thing." These two old foxes will not let Shen Jun's personal feud ruin the gang's chance to make a fortune, and they must persuade him to take the overall situation first, even if Shen Jun doesn't agree, there is no way, and the people of the Tongtian Gang will not listen to him. Just now, the two of them were indistinguishable from each other, so we had this moment to breathe. Now that they have joined forces, they will attack us at any time, and the old man must not let Shan'er and Guoguo suffer any harm, you must go first. ”

Nangong Yu's eyes turned red when he said the last sentence, and then he realized how much he loved his daughter, and said, "Aren't the seniors leaving?" Ouyang Ye said: "After the old man stays behind, although there are many of them, if I fight guerrilla warfare with them, they can't help me." It's not too early, you guys will go with Aunt Mingzhu. Nangong Yu also knew that this was the only way, and said, "Take care of your predecessors." Ouyang Ye suddenly grabbed his shoulders tightly, and said with an unprecedentedly serious look: "Little brother, the old man has entrusted the two most important people in his life to you, please leave everything to you." He bowed to the end. Nangong Yu hurriedly helped him up and said, "Don't dare to be, senior, please get up." Ouyang Ye gave him the bottle of the "Seven Days Life Continuation Pill" again, urging them to leave quickly. After Ouyang's mother and daughter separated from Ouyang Ye in tears, Mingzhu was the first to enter the secret passage, Ouyang Shan was the second, and Nangong Yu was the third, protecting Ouyang Guo at the top. Ouyang Ye watched them crawl down, hiding in the darkness before restoring the secret passage.

The five fingers were not visible in the dark passage, Ouyang Guo was afraid of the dark, and he was afraid of falling, his little hand grasping the straight ladder trembled a little, he stood there and didn't dare to move, and shouted, "Brother Yu." Nangong Yuzhi knew that this secret passage was only two layers of wooden planks away from the room, and if the movement was too loud, it would be noticed by outsiders, so he patted Guoguo's calf lightly and said, "I'm just below you, you step on my hand, don't be afraid, don't speak loudly." Guoguo climbed down two more steps and said softly, "I'm afraid of the dark." With a "bang", the pearl at the bottom lit a fire fold to illuminate them. Only then did Guoguo slowly crawl down.

This secret passage leads from the second floor to the ground, and at the bottom is an earthen tunnel that barely holds the length and width of a person. Mingzhu walked just right, and Nangong Yu had to lower his head before he could walk. Mingzhu picked up a torch from the shelf on the wall, lit the oil on it, and led the way. Nangong Yu took Guoguo's hand and followed behind, and when he walked, he found that there were many of the same secret passages above his head, and those straight ladders should lead to other rooms, and he asked puzzledly: "Aunt Mingzhu, what are you doing with so many secret passages?"

Mingzhu chuckled and said, "Childe, do you know what I do?" Nangong Yu said: "Isn't it the one who opened the inn?" Mingzhu chuckled and said: "Opening the inn can earn a few big words, which is not enough for my expenses." The inn is just a front, but I'm actually selling intelligence. Nangong Yu said in amazement: "Intelligence?" Mingzhu said: "Most of the people who enter and leave the desert are caravans, carrying a lot of money and goods, as long as I overhear their plans and travel routes, I can sell the information to the horse thieves in the desert." After the horse thief robbed the goods, he would give me thirty percent, otherwise the old lady would have a good life, but what kind of inn would she open in this ghost place. Nangong Yu was stunned.

Mingzhu smiled: "Do you think your Aunt Mingzhu is very bad now?" Nangong Yuwan said: "A woman survives in the desert, if she doesn't have some means, she will definitely not survive." Those businessmen are pitiful, but understandable, after all, everyone wants to live better. Mingzhu said: "We don't want to make money, and not all caravans are robbed, nor are we robbed the same caravan for the second time, otherwise no one will dare to take this Silk Road, and our livelihood will be over." Nangong Yu thought to himself that their idea was similar to protecting the oasis, both using and protecting, ensuring a steady stream of resources, and having a long-term vision.

Mingzhu suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, I am from Suzhou, and I came to do business with my husband fifteen years ago. On the way back, I encountered a horse thief, and my husband died on the spot, and the goods were robbed, and both people and property were lost. also robbed me to the thief's den, intending to *** Ouyang Ye rescued me from the fire pit. When he saw that I was pitiful, he lent me some money to do business, and he taught me how to make money. There were more than thirty horse thieves in this desert, but none of them dared to provoke him, and my business was booming. I was grateful for his kindness in re-creation, and I committed myself to him, but at that time he was so loving to your mother that he didn't touch a finger of mine at all. After your mother died, he was sad and lonely, did not want to see those familiar things at home, wandered alone in the desert, and often came to my shop to borrow wine to relieve his sorrows. I couldn't bear to see him so sad, so I took the initiative to accompany him. His personality has changed a lot over the years, and he seems to be arrogant, but in fact, he is just hiding the pain in his heart. Only in the dead of night will he drink wine and look at the stars in the sky, and he believes that one of them is your mother, who is also watching him. He has always loved your mother alone, and no one can replace him. ”

Ouyang Shan and Nangong Yu listened silently, but they didn't expect Ouyang Ye to have such a side. Saying that, the tunnel came to an end, Mingzhu climbed the straight ladder, pushed up the iron plate on it with her hand, and floated down a pile of sand. They followed up to take a look, and they had reached the outdoors, and the Pearl Inn behind them was already two hundred feet away.

Xiao Er in front of him was already waiting with two horses and a camel, and the camel was loaded with dry food and water, enough to return to the Sword Demon Villa. Mingzhu said: "Xiao Zhang is familiar with the road, he will take you back, hurry up and get on the road." Nangong Yu said goodbye to Mingzhu and hurried away overnight.

Xiao Zhang's age is one year younger than Nangong Yu, he was an orphan since he was a child, he was raised by Mingzhu, his cronies are reliable, and he is extremely familiar with the desert. They took the nearest route and did not rest until noon the next day. Nangong Yu asked, "How long will it take to get to the Sword Demon Villa?" Xiao Zhang said: "It is estimated that it will take another month." Nangong Yu said: "It's so far." Xiao Zhang said: "If we have a fast horse that travels 600 miles a day, it will be there in ten days." But the desert is difficult to navigate, and the climate is changeable, so it will take time. Nangong Yu nodded in understanding, glanced at Ouyang Shan, who was silent, and said, "Are you worried about your father?" Nangong Yu said: "The seniors are just delaying them, and it's still no problem to protect themselves, don't worry." Ouyang Shan let out an "um" and nodded.

The next five days were very smooth, under the leadership of Xiao Zhang, they entered the Hami area, and after getting along for a few days, Nangong Yu felt that Xiao Zhang was enthusiastic and diligent, and he was a very good young man. During the dinner on this day, Nangong Yu asked about the customs and customs of the Western Regions, Xiao Zhang was articulate, very good at talking, knowing everything, talking endlessly like telling a story, and Guoguo also listened to it with relish.

Eat and drink enough, and get ready to get up and go. Suddenly, Nangong Yu only felt a wind in the back of his head, and quickly flashed his head to the side, and pushed Ouyang Shan beside him. With a "poof", a flying arrow swept across the cheeks of the two and pierced Xiao Zhang's head, and he fell to the ground with a trembling body as he got up, without even snorting, and the water bladder in his hand spilled on the ground.
