"What? What's your problem?" Wen Qingzhu looked at him displeased.
The middle-aged man quickly looked away and considered his suggestion: "You have prepared too few things, and the inspections are very strict now. Do you want to use our things? Or we can accompany the adults."
"What's your stuff?" Wen Qingzhu looked at the convoy in the distance and suddenly asked, "Do you have any protective gear for the desert?"
"Yes, yes!" The man immediately ordered a subordinate to get the protective gear from the desert.
Now, the man is getting more and more strange. Did the previous mission require desert protective gear
The things were quickly brought over. Wen Qingzhu checked them and confirmed that there was no problem, and asked Beidou to accept them.
Looking at the people in front of him, Wen Qingzhu had an idea in his mind.
She pointed in the direction of Twin Peaks Mountain and said: "Go there and have a look later. If you encounter a man wearing a black cloak, don't hesitate to take action immediately! Kill him, and the prince will reward you heavily!"
"Really?" Not only the middle-aged man, but also the people behind him became excited.
Wen Qingzhu nodded seriously and described the man's height and temperament in detail.
Finally, he told them: "Don't be polite, he looks very powerful, but he is just a tough guy with a soft heart. When we met him, there were other people around him, so we didn't dare to act rashly.
If you meet that person and there are other people around you, just leave! If you meet him alone, you're welcome! "
"Thank you for the opportunity, sir! I understand!" The middle-aged man turned his horse and started running in the direction Wen Qingzhu pointed.
Looking at their retreating figures, Wen Qingzhu's lips curled up slightly.
Presumably that person will definitely help him get rid of them.
Looking at the black cloak on his body, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, a good prop can play an unexpected role.
Wen Qingzhu greeted Beidou, tightened his grip on the horse's belly, and began to chase in the direction of the young man who had started.
The young man's team seemed to be frightened. Wen Qingzhu chased for a long time but did not catch up.
After running for two hours, they finally arrived at the sand, but they were still far away from the desert.
Wen Qingzhu looked up again. The moving sand dunes she saw before seemed to be still in the distance.
She thought to herself: Is it a mirage
Looking around, there was basically no one here.
Wen Qingzhu asked Beidou to come down and rest.
The sandy side is different from the grassland. This is another environment.
As far as she knew, the road leading to the Western Region from outside Shazhou was between the desert and the sandy land.
On the grassland, beside the dry river bed.
The black cloak had just taken a few steps when a dozen people suddenly jumped out from around him, and they immediately attacked him if they disagreed.
Looking around, he quickly recognized them as Bo Dong's men.
Before he could speak, these people threw smoke and thunder bullets at him.
The black cloaks didn't want to kill anyone, but they bullied people too much and quickly became murderous, killing a dozen people in just a few seconds.
There were corpses all around, and a soldier from A Lu Che happened to ride over.
Looking at the situation in front of him, the soldier said dissatisfiedly: "Daze! We are allies with Bo Dong now, and you actually kill people!"
The man named Doze walked directly towards the three corpses in the river bed without even looking at this man.
The soldier was extremely angry, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, after all, he couldn't beat him.
Thinking of the leader's mission, the soldiers approached Doze on horseback and said quickly: "The general asked you to go back to find him immediately after you get the things! The general has discovered Fu Lie's traces!"
Doze still ignored the people behind him, but squatted down and looked at the three dead people in front of him, frowning slightly: Aren't these the three people he traded with
Quickly searching the bodies aside, Doze's heart sank. The things were not on them!
Thinking of what happened last night, Duo Ze stood up, turned to look at the people behind him who dared to be angry and dare not speak, and said for the first time, "The things were taken away by Wen Qingzhu!"
The soldier was startled and looked at him in disbelief: "You, you are actually a woman!"
Doze's face became increasingly ugly, but he still didn't say anything.
Looking at the bodies on the shore and then at the bodies on the river bed, Doze felt as if he had missed an opportunity.
He walked up to the soldiers and spoke again: "Give me the horse."
"What are you going to do!" The soldiers held the horses and retreated, but Doze kept approaching and endured the murderous intention in his heart.
It was no problem to kill Bo Dong's people casually, but he still had to think carefully about killing A Luche's people.
In the face of Doze's powerful momentum, the soldiers still came down dejectedly and handed over their horses.
Duo Ze got on his horse, raised the reins, and quickly left here.
Looking at his leaving figure, the soldier turned blue with anger, but he could only admit that he was unlucky and decided to leave on foot.
After walking not far, the soldiers encountered two men in black on horseback.
Judging from their stature, they were definitely not Huns.
So he grasped the handle of the knife without hesitation and prepared to fight.
The two men in black did not expect to encounter the Huns soldiers from A Lu Che here.
Looking at his clothes, he seems to be of a high level.
The two men in black looked at each other and then nodded.
There is no room for error in this operation.
It must not be discovered by others!
Two men in black quickly rushed over on horseback. The soldier kept his composure. If it was just such an attack, he would not be afraid.
As the two men got closer, the soldier drew his sword without hesitation.
As a result, the opponent did not draw the knife, but threw a rope.
He ducked sideways, but he didn't know that the rope seemed to come alive, and was put directly around his neck, and then continued to tighten.
The two men in black quickly passed him and began to rush forward.
Not long after, the soldier was strangled to death, staring at the sky with unyielding eyes.
At the edge of the sandy land, Wen Qingzhu set out again.
Not long after walking, he discovered the mark left by Fu Lie.
Different from before, this time Fu Lie left a lot of marks, and they were a bit obvious.
After careful identification, Wen Qingzhu confirmed that this was what Fu Lie had left behind.
It seemed that he was telling her specifically.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and destroyed these marks.
She looked at the sandy land ahead, which was more desolate than the grassland.
Wen Qingzhu set out again after putting on the desert protective gear and equipping the horses with sand riding equipment.
It was evening after leaving, and she unexpectedly met the young man from before.
"It's you!" The young man was also surprised.
They came here based on the map showing that there was a spring here.
I didn’t expect to meet someone from before.
Wen Qingzhu got off her horse. Remembering what happened last time, she put the Luban Suo into her backpack this time.
The young man was very grateful to her and stepped forward quickly, but kept a suitable distance: "Are you going to Shazhou too?"
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu remembered that they were originally from Shazhou, so he asked, "How far is it from Shazhou?"
The young man pointed in the direction behind him: "It's not far! If we drive all night, we will arrive tomorrow morning! If we don't drive all night, we will arrive tomorrow evening!"
"So fast?" Wen Qingzhu looked around. The terrain was undulating and no longer as flat as the grassland.
Hearing her words, the young man looked at her strangely, but didn't say much.
After meeting the young man twice, Wen Qingzhu basically confirmed that he was not a threat to me. Then he approached the young man and asked, "Since we are on the way, why don't we come together? What's your name? My name is Wen Qing!"
"My name is Daquan! That's my family over there, as well as my uncle and aunt's family!" The young man saw that she seemed less wary and took the initiative to be friendly.
Arriving next to the spring, Wen Qingzhu quickly met Daquan's parents. They were already in their forties or fifties, but they all looked like they were from the Central Plains.
In addition, Daquan's two relatives didn't seem to like Wen Qingzhu and the others, so they stayed far away.
Daquan scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "My uncle and aunt came out to pick us up this time. I didn't expect that we wouldn't be able to get into Shazhou."
"It's okay." From the corner of his eye, Wen Qingzhu saw two other families standing guard beside the carriage.
Their carriage was larger than ordinary carriages and very high, and seemed to be filled with cargo.
Apart from Daquan, his parents were not talkative either. They just gave him a few simple reminders to just watch carefully when they were keeping vigil.
Night falls and the sky is filled with stars.
The cold wind was howling, and the sandy land was drier than the grassland. The only advantage was that it was probably not that cold.
For Wen Qingzhu, there is actually no difference.
During the hour he sat down to rest, Wen Qingzhu was basically sure that Daquan was fine.
She looked at the carriages again. Daquan's parents seemed to be okay.
In addition, there must be something wrong with Daquan's relatives.
Wen Qingzhu glanced over briefly, and the two families quickly looked over, looking very alert.
Then they looked at the goods and seemed to be worried about their own things rather than Wen Qingzhu.
"Daquan, are your uncle's family and your aunt's family familiar with you before?" Wen Qingzhu decided to start with Daquan first.
Daquan is a very cheerful person, and he also knows how to behave appropriately.
He nodded: "My uncle's family is relatively familiar, but my aunt's family is not."
"Why do you say that? Didn't you ask them to pick you up when you returned from transporting goods from the Western Region?" Wen Qingzhu was surprised, and then saw Daquan smile bitterly.
"Speaking of which, you must have noticed." He pointed to his face, "Your face does not exactly look like a Central Plains person, it has some traces of a Westerner. That's because my grandma is a Westerner. Later, My great-grandfather was worried about my father and prepared a child bride for my father in advance.
But then the previous mother died before she could see my father. My father later married my mother, who was an orphan and had no family. It just so happened that my previous mother had a good relationship with my family, so we kept in touch with her. "
Wen Qingzhu took out the kettle and took a sip.
There is indeed something wrong with Daquan's relatives.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Qingzhu stood up: "Thank you very much. I have something else to do tonight, so I'll leave first!"
"There are wolves at night! And there are only two of you!" Daquan quickly stood up and glanced at his aunt's house, "Did I say something wrong?"
Wen Qingzhu felt very good about this young man.
He was very familiar with this area of Shazhou, and Wen Qingzhu learned many things through him that could not be learned in books.
In order to thank him, Wen Qingzhu reminded him in a low voice: "Pay attention to your aunt's family. They may have problems. Keep them away from your mother."
In fact, what she was worried about was that this group of people was coming for her.
