Chapter 216: Imperial City
Xia Jia's father was as verbose as a grandmother, Galle was already impatient, but Hongfa couldn't wait to go slowly, go forward, it was a big desert, through the big desert, in order to reach the Xia King Imperial City on the other side of the desert, this road is to the west, the Western Xia Imperial City actually relies on the desert natural danger, relatively safe.

To the east is the way back, to the north, there is no Western Xia Imperial City, to the south, there is none. The goal is in the west, perseverance can succeed.
Galle was fearless, and he would go wherever His Highness went. Needless to say, Gesang is also the same, and he can be regarded as loyal to the prince of the scimitar clan.
Kodharma experienced more physical things, he trusted more, meat and wine, which could bring him comfort, but unfortunately, his Taoism was not deep, and it had a lot to do with it.
Xia Jia's father rode away on horseback, everyone had to sit down and continue to drink tea, Tianyi was still cultivating, propagating the Dharma and sorting out the things to eat and drink, to see if the quantity was enough, and whether the packaging was tight. Galle was resting with his eyes closed, having been in a late night last night and needed to recover.
Gesang came back, and she smiled and said, "I thought you had gone into the desert, but when you ran to the desert, you didn't see anyone, and I came back again." ”
She smiled to herself. Xiao Sheng said: "Did you rest well last night? We are about to enter the desert, Xia Jia's father has already gone to borrow a camel, and we are waiting here." Go and see, how big is this desert, and how much time will it take us to walk there?"
"Okay. Gesang replied vividly.
After Gesang disappeared immediately, Hongfa said, "I look down on people so much, I just leave when I come, it's true!"
"Hongfa, if you have this ability, you can also go. Xiao Sheng said.
"Your Highness, don't be sarcastic about me, although I don't have that ability, but I will take care of my master, and Gesang may not necessarily take care of His Highness. Kobo said.
"Yes, you also have strengths, everyone has their own weaknesses and have to take them. Xiao Sheng spoke, a little bit of the day, it seemed that he had cultivated to the point where he could hear the voices of the outside world.
In the past, when I cultivated, I only played against the masters in my mind, and I fought in the dark, but the outside was calm like water, and I couldn't see the inner struggle. I can't hear the outside sounds, I don't know what people are thinking, what they're doing, I can't even hear the sounds, and I don't have communication with people.
This time Gesang came, he also knew it, Gesang left, he also understood. After Gesang left, he was also very clear about the conversation between Hongfa and Xiao Sheng.
At this moment, I heard the neighing of horses in the distance, and it was none other than Xia Jia's father.
His horse was very irritable, because it was walking slowly, followed by the four-peaked camel, the camel walked slowly, Xia Jia's father was reluctant to fight, so he could only let the camel go fast.
Xia Jia's father got off the horse and said to Tianyi: "I'm sorry, I'm late." Xiao Sheng translated on the side.
"It's okay, we think we're early. Tianyi said that he had finished his cultivation. Sometimes, he doesn't like to talk to people, especially when he can only guess his mind and can't understand the words, but he concentrates on cultivation.
For Xiao Sheng, Gale, and Gesang, they all understand these dialects, but for Jin Wu, it is not a problem, and it is easy to understand what they say.
Hongfa was very happy when he saw the camel, and this time, he didn't have to dare to go to the desert.
"I'm sorry, I originally wanted to borrow a five-peaked camel, but people want to use it, and only these four-peaked camels can be used. Xia Jia's father said.
"Well, thank you, how much?" Xiao Sheng asked.
"What money is not money, don't mention money, you saved my daughter's life, life is worth more than gold, my daughter's life, not to mention ten thousand taels of gold? Borrowing a camel is to give me face, and they also have times when they ask me to borrow something, who dares to say that they will not encounter some difficulties in their lives?" Xia Jia's father said.
"That being said, if you don't want money, we don't want camels. We rent camels, and if the camels die in the desert, what will you pay to them?" Xiao Sheng said.
"Yes, that makes sense. I didn't expect this, but I promised to accept your money, but I didn't really want to make money, I sincerely thanked you and repaid you for saving your life. Xia Jia's father said.
"Alright, it's getting late, and we should be on our way. Take yourselves. Galle, take a pound of gold to Xia Jia's father, we're leaving. Xiao Sheng commanded.
Galle was still dreaming, and in his dreams he heard the neighing of horses, but he only thought that he was lying on the grass, listening to the horses in the distance beating madly, playing and playing, and did not take it seriously. Then he fell asleep again.
When he was still dreaming, he suddenly heard Xiao Sheng calling himself in the dream, he immediately opened his eyes, and saw everyone's eyes staring at him in unison, he felt very embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Sorry, sorry." Your Highness, what's the matter?"
"What did you do last night? Still dreaming, His Royal Highness said that he wanted you to give a pound of gold to Xia Jia's father, which was considered the money for renting a camel. Gesang laughed.
"Oh, yes, yes," he said, as he hurried to get the money in his arms, and when his hand was halfway up, it suddenly occurred to him, where is the money? When he hesitated, he really touched a piece of gold in his arms, took it out, and checked it as if it weighed a pound.
Galle knew that this was a ghost made by the Golden Crow, but it was okay, it was not the Golden Crow, and today it was a big shame! The Golden Crow is the Golden Crow, and it has something to do with gold, otherwise how could it be called a Golden Crow?
Jin Wu didn't speak, and he couldn't speak at this time, Galle understood and handed the gold nugget to Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng said: "Well, yes, your hands are really accurate!"
Xiao Sheng didn't count it in his heart, he didn't know that Galle Mei brought money, maybe he forgot about it, in front of Xia Jia's father, he wanted to save face, so he said such things.
Xiao Sheng gave the gold to Xia Jia's father, he just had to take it, otherwise, wouldn't it be murder if people didn't want camels?
If a person walks in the desert without a camel, he is tantamount to death. A sea of sand is similar to an ocean, where people can drown, and if there are boats, the situation can be different.
Xiao Sheng doesn't care about money, as long as he can save his life, not be drowned by the sea of sand, as long as he can walk through the desert smoothly, it is a good thing, for him, it is more interesting, he has increased a lot of knowledge, and he can also exercise his will.
Xia Jia's father smiled and said: "Accept and accept, I'm sorry, I shouldn't collect money, but you say, if you don't collect money, you don't want camels, it's really a headache." Well, I'll listen to you, take the money for the time being, and when you come back safely, I'll give you back the gold. ”
Xia Jia's father is really sensible, he knows the principle of being a man, what he should get, resolutely strive for it, what he shouldn't get, don't get involved, he can't even speak and express his position. With this principle, everyone looked at him differently.
Everyone was very happy, especially Kobo, and he hurriedly put his luggage, most of it food, between the two humps of the camel, fixed it with ropes, and then tried it, and it was quite strong. Then the water bladder was placed on the camel's back, and it was also secured with a rope.
The first camel has a copper bell tied around its neck, and the last camel also carries a copper bell, which jingles with each step to echo and remind each other.
