Extra episode 2: 01 Jingyang and Pasha

The rolling sand dunes are endless. There is no vegetation, and travel is cut off.

The ridge line of the hill is smooth and smooth, the sandy slope on the windward side is like water, and the quicksand on the leeward side is like pouring water. Like an ocean of yellow sand, the sand waves rise and fall until the sky.

The sky was gray, giving people a depressing feeling of an approaching storm.

Jingyang sat on his horse, frowning and looking out, but there was no trace of the remnants of Xirong.

"Your Majesty, the weather is bad. I'm afraid there's going to be a sandstorm, so we'd better go back." Han Xiao, the personal guard, reined in his horse and frowned into the Chinese character "Sichuan".

Jingyang nodded, "Go back!"

This place has already left the border of Da Ming. There are not many of them, so they are afraid of being plotted by the enemy.

Everyone turned their horses' heads and walked back.

It turns out that the territory of Xirong was the fiefdom of Jingyang, and was divided into two administrative prefectures, Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

Many of the remnants of the Xirong fled to various countries in the Western Regions and harassed the borders from time to time.

They are familiar with the terrain and the weather and conditions of the desert. If they are ambushed and occupy the right place at the right time, Jingyang and the others will suffer losses if they cannot protect them.

Suddenly, Han Xiao shouted: "No! I was fooled! A sandstorm is coming!"

Jingyang raised his head and saw yellow sand in the sky ahead. The yellow sand was swept by the strong wind and covered the sky.

The sand dunes on the ground were also swept by the strong wind, sweeping them over like mountains and seas.

Only then did Jingyang realize that he had been tricked by the enemy. The enemy must have predicted the sandstorm and led them here.

"Quick! Find a place where the wind is blowing!"

"Quick, go back!"

"Hold the horse and you can hide it under its belly for a while!"

They have also been to the desert several times and know some common sense.

The horses were all well-trained war horses. Although they were frightened, they did not run around wildly and were still under control.

The yellow sand rushed over like a huge wave, and no one could escape.

They didn't run far before they were swept away by the strong wind. They could only hold each other's hands and try not to be blown away.

Jingyang was hugged by the guards. When he was submerged by the yellow sand, he held his breath in time, and then was buried by the sand dunes.

Wrapped in the sand dunes and swept out by the wind for an unknown number of miles, the storm gradually subsided.

The yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see, with no sign of life.

Suddenly, the bottom of a sand dune moved. After a while, a human head emerged from it, and it was Han Xiao.

Han Xiao took a deep breath, emerged from the yellow sand, and pulled Jingyang out from under the dune.

Jingyang was unconscious due to suffocation.

Han Xiao felt for his pulse and pressed a few times on Jingyang's heart.

Jingyang coughed lightly, woke up leisurely, looked around confusedly, and let out a sigh of relief.

After taking a breath, he immediately stood up and said, "Look quickly and see where the others are!"

The two men shook off the yellow sand on their bodies and used Qinggong to climb the highest sand dune. However, they saw a vast expanse of yellow and nothing.

Such vast desolation gave people a tragic feeling, which made Jingyang's eyes feel a little sour.

His personal soldiers are all top-notch soldiers. They have been through life and death for many years, and they are all brothers who can be trusted with their lives.

"Look for it!" Jingyang didn't want to give up just like that.

He took out the compass, determined the direction, and pointed, "Let's use this as the center and look around first."

They were blown here, and there's a good chance that others are nearby.

Sure enough, Han Xiao pointed to the distance and said: "Your Majesty, look!"

A few hundred meters away from a sand dune, a horse emerged from the sand dune, holding a guard under its neck.

Jingyang was overjoyed and started doing Qinggong to save people.

He rescued two guards and a horse from the sand, which gave him hope that more people could survive.

But how to find someone in this vast desert?

His sharp eyes, which were very similar to Dongming Ziyu's, were filled with anxiety as he scanned the undulating sand dunes, not knowing how to find the person.

Suddenly, his ears moved slightly and he heard some sounds.

People and animals are coming this way, and there are many people and animals.

Han Xiao also heard it, drew his sword and said on guard: "Someone is coming!"

He guessed that they must be the remnants of Xirong. Didn't those people lead them to the desert just to kill them?

Now is the time to cut the grass and root out the problem.

Jingyang took out his telescope and looked at the source of the sound, "It's not the remnants of Xirong."

I saw a foreign woman in red, riding a camel and galloping on the ridge of the sand dunes, with a red gauze covering her face, fluttering in the wind.

Her bright red dress looked particularly bright and eye-catching against the monotonous yellow sand background, and it suddenly brightened the world.

Behind the woman were a dozen men from the Western Regions riding camels, all wearing face masks to prevent sand.

The most surprising and alarming thing is that the woman's camel is surrounded by a pack of wolves. The wolves seem to be surrounding a king, surrounding the woman in red.

"There's someone over there!" The woman also spotted Jingyang and the others, and drove the camels and a pack of wolves towards them.

The camel ran very fast in the desert and was in front of us in no time.

The woman stopped about a hundred meters away from Jingyang, saw Jingyang's appearance clearly, and was stunned for a moment.

Jingyang and Jingxi took advantage of the advantages of Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli, and their facial features were so exquisite that they were difficult to describe and paint.

Jingyang is handsome and cold, with a dignity in his bones that makes people dare not look directly at him, and he exudes the temptation of an ascetic beauty.

At first glance, this temperament looks like that of Dongming Ziyu. However, Jingyang has both parents since he was a child, and his brothers are friendly. He does not have the coldness and desolation in his bones like Dongming Ziyu.

The woman was stunned by his handsome appearance and aura, and felt that this Han man must be extraordinary.

Jingyang frowned slightly, feeling unhappy in his heart. He cupped his fists and said, "Girl, we encountered a sandstorm, and the lives of those accompanying us are uncertain. Please make it easier for us to find them."

This is a wolf pack and a thug, and at first glance, it is a female bandit.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure and said, "Okay, just now one of my companions has disappeared. Let's look for him together."

Jingyang was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that this woman actually knew Da Ming Mandarin and spoke it well.

Time is running out, and we need to race against time to save people. Both sides are sure that they are not enemies and immediately start looking for people.

I saw the woman in red making wolf howls from her mouth and waving her hand, seemingly giving an order.

Hundreds of wolves immediately dispersed and sniffed on the sand dunes.

This woman actually knows wolf language and can control wolves!

The wolf's sense of smell is better than that of a dog, and he quickly found the clue and howled.

Jingyang rushed over with Han Xiao and the surviving guards, dug into the sand where the wolf howled, and indeed rescued one of the guards.

In this way, many people and horses were quickly found, but some of them had suffocated and died, which was very regrettable.

It was getting dark gradually, but everyone was still busy.

The missing people on the woman's side have already been found, so Jingyang couldn't ask the woman's people and the wolf to help find them.

After all, it has been so long, and even if it is found, the person will not be able to survive.

Jingyang walked up to the woman and said, "Thank you for your help, girl, why don't we stop here."

The woman nodded, raised her hand and took off the veil from her face...
