Shen Huan looked at Pei Zheng who was bending over, his eyes widened in shock, and he looked around.
No one around dared to look over here, only the guide's eyes met Shen Huan's through several people.
Shen Huan inconspicuously turned his body to block the figures of the two people next to him.
Pei Zheng straightened up, wiped the medicine from the corner of his lips with his fingers, and then touched the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue.
"Master Pei," Shen Huan whispered, "It's not a good idea to be so blatant. There are so many people here. I'm afraid I don't know how many people will see it.
"Whoever dares to look will have his eyes gouged out."

Shen Huan shut up obediently, as if she was the only one who dared to watch.
After resting for a while, the team continued to move forward.
We didn't stop to rest for the rest of the time. We waited until the sun set and the temperature in the desert dropped sharply. Only then did the guide say that we couldn't go any further and had to stop and set up camp.
"It will be very cold at night, even colder than when it snows outside. Everyone must stay in their tents and keep warm."
After the guide finished speaking, everyone started to set up their tents.
Qi Changyi was placed in the warmest tent to rest. There was no bed, so he could only lay several layers of cotton mats on the sand.
After Qi Yirou replaced some of Qi Changyi's blood, the bad blood did not become infected in this short period of time. The little guy's complexion became slightly better, and he even showed signs of waking up.
Pei Zheng was standing away from the crowd on a deserted sand dune. His black figure almost blended into the dark night as he silently looked at the endless sand dunes in the distance.
Chengfeng ran over, "Master, His Highness is awake!"
When they rushed into the tent, Qi Changyi was the only one inside, and no one knew where Shen Huan had gone.
Pei Zheng walked over, and the little person lying there saw him. He paused obviously, then turned his eyes away, turned over, and turned his back to Pei Zheng.
He looked sulky.
Pei Zheng wanted to turn his body around, hold him tightly in his arms, pinch his little chin and make him look at him with nowhere to hide.
But he did nothing.
"You've been lying down all day. Are you tired?"
Qi Changyi clenched his hands tightly under the blanket, bit his lower lip and said nothing.
Pei Zheng looked at his thin back with protruding bones and wanted to touch it out of pity, but he just pulled the blanket up for him.
"Did you dream again today? What did you dream about?"
Pei Zheng curled his lips, "Am I in your dream?"
After a long while, a very small humming sound was heard.
"No… "
Pei Zheng's eyes softened a bit, not caring about the little guy's cold tone at all, and whispered, "Nothing? No dream, or no dream of me? Hmm?"
Feeling that the voice seemed to be coming from his back, Qi Changyi straightened his body.
“No, I dreamed about you.”
Pei Zheng didn't care what his answer was, as long as he was willing to talk to him.
"Really? But you called my name yesterday."
Pei Zheng breathed into the little guy's ear, "He called me many times."
Qi Changyi retorted weakly, "There is nothing I don't have."
He felt aggrieved, not just because of this incident, but because of everything he remembered.
The little guy's eyes were a little moist, and he was trying hard not to let the tears fall.
Pei Zheng hurriedly said, "Okay, you didn't. I heard it wrong, right? Honey, don't cry."
When the little girl heard Pei Zheng's gentle coaxing voice, she didn't know why tears started to flow.
"I am not my sweetheart. I have a name. My name is Qi Changyi. I remember it all."
"You remember everything?" Pei Zheng said, "But how could you forget that you are my sweetheart."
Qi Changyi suddenly felt a headache. Didn't he remember everything? Why did he seem to have forgotten something? But he couldn't remember anything.
Who else could he be other than Qi Changyi
"I have a terrible headache."
Qi Changyi hugged his head and frowned tightly.
Pei Zheng remembered Shen Huan's words. The little guy's memory might be a little confused now, so he couldn't be pushed too hard. He had to be given time to slowly remember.
Pei Zheng looked at the curled up little guy, and without caring about anything else, he reached out, picked him up, and gently massaged his temples.
"Okay, let's not think about the pain anymore, let's forget about it, okay?"
At this time Shen Huan came in from outside. She had just gone to bring medicine to Qi Changyi, and happened to hear Pei Zheng's words when she came in.
After giving the medicine to Qi Changyi to drink, the medicine had a calming effect on the mind. His headache stopped and he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Shen Huan and Pei Zheng left the tent.
"Master Pei, what did you just say? Just forget it? Don't want to remember it anymore? You don't want him to remember what happened to Shen Jiujiu?"
"I don't want to force him."
"But now he doesn't even remember me."
Shen Huan sighed deeply and looked at the boundless sand dunes in the distance.
"Master Pei, do you think we can still find it?"
Pei Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Yeah."
You will definitely find it.
The next morning, the procession continued to move forward.
After Qi Changyi woke up once last night, he was unconscious the whole day. It was Pei Zheng who fed him medicine, so Shen Huan was no longer that surprised.
After walking for another two days, there was still no sign of an oasis, and the people in the group were gradually becoming tired. The water and food they brought were slowly decreasing.
However, according to the guide, they were quite lucky on this trip as they did not encounter quicksand or sandstorms.
At night, the soldiers set up their tents again and prepared to rest.
A secret guard who was scouting the way came over in a hurry and reported the situation to Pei Zheng.
"Master, we have spotted a group of suspicious people on horseback, their identities unknown, heading towards our camp."
As they were talking, the team appeared in front of everyone.
This group of people were riding Hummers, each carrying a long black stick on their shoulders. They didn't dress like foreigners, so they could only be barbarians.
The people who came were obviously not friendly. The soldiers who were originally going to rest quietly clenched their weapons and stared at the people opposite them. Both sides did not act rashly for the time being.
The man on the opposite side pulled out his long stick and tore off the black cloth wrapped around it, revealing a long knife inside.
He shouted something, but the others also drew their swords, shouted together, and rushed over the sand dunes towards the camp on horseback.
Someone in the camp shouted, "Protect the emperor!"
The tent where Qi Changyi was located was immediately surrounded, and Pei Zheng also entered the tent.
Chengfeng was standing outside the tent, holding a bow in one hand with an arrow fully drawn on the string. Although it was dark all around, he still shot the man who had just shouted in the head.
This group of people on horseback looked like robbers. While fighting with the Celestial Empire's soldiers, they were shouting something unknown and yelling happily every time they killed someone.
Although the Celestial Empire's soldiers outnumbered them, they had been marching in the desert for several days and were exhausted both mentally and physically. They were beaten to pieces by dozens of spirited robbers riding tall horses.
The sounds of fighting outside continued.
As soon as Pei Zheng entered the tent, he wrapped the sleeping little guy in a blanket and held him horizontally in his arms.
Qi Changyi was awakened and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that the person holding him was Pei Zheng, he was a little dazed and didn't react. He reached out and grabbed Pei Zheng's collar on his chest.
When he regained consciousness, he tried to break free from Pei Zheng's arms.
"You can make trouble with me any way you want at other times, but not now. Be good."
Pei Zheng didn't give him any room to struggle and turned around to walk out of the tent.
Unexpectedly, the tent was suddenly overturned at this moment. A strong wind blew up outside at some point, and the sky was full of flying sand and stones, which blew over all the other tents.
The guide was protected by several soldiers and shouted to everyone, "Oh no! A sandstorm is coming! Hurry, lie down next to the camels, or everyone will be blown away!"
The wind grew stronger and stronger, blinding people's eyes, and the sand and dust blew into their mouths, noses and clothes. Even the sand dunes in the distance began to gradually change and move.
The sounds of fighting gradually died down, and under the huge sandstorm, everyone began to look for places to hide.
Those barbarian robbers were also very experienced. They all got off their horses and lay down beside them.
Some of the Celestial Empire's soldiers didn't have time to dodge and were swept away by the sandstorm. They disappeared in an instant. It was unknown whether they were buried in the sand or swept up into the sky.
It was already very cold at night, and with such a strong sandstorm, it was even more freezing.
Pei Zheng held Qi Changyi in his arms, and it became more difficult for them to walk in the wind and sand. Chengfeng stood by and protected them both, and they moved together to the nearest camel.
Just when they were about to reach the camel, a few dark shadows suddenly appeared in front of them. They were the barbarian robbers.
They had actually been waiting nearby for an opportunity. At such a dangerous moment, it was very likely that they would all be blown away by the strong sandstorm, but they didn't even want their lives anymore.
The robbers rushed towards Pei Zheng. Chengfeng struggled to fight against them, and even his sword could not be stabbed steadily in the wind and sand.
However, those people didn't seem willing to spend more time with Chengfeng and always wanted to assassinate Pei Zheng.
With a flash of cold light, Chengfeng could clearly see the long swords held by those men.
He suddenly understood that these people were different from those people. They were not robbers at all, but soldiers of the barbarian tribe! Their purpose was not to rob, but to assassinate Pei Zheng!
"Master! Be careful!"
Chengfeng let out a loud cry, looked back, and suddenly froze.
There was no one behind them.
Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi disappeared without a trace.
