Zhuang Wen was confused and said: "No matter which direction you look, you always look like a monotonous person. How do you know you are lost?"
Feng Guoting said: "The only thing that can tell the direction now is the sun in the east. We have been walking forward, and it is in the middle to our right. Now it is slightly to the rear and right, which shows that we have left the shortcut."
Zhuang Wen and Feng Mo immediately changed their expressions. The desert is an unmarked area. If there is a slight deviation, they will never be able to return to the correct route.
Long Ying finally calmed down and said, "I smell the smell of water."
Wan Renyu was surprised and said: "There is an oasis nearby!"
Long Ying said: "It's not an oasis, it's just the smell of water. It's not clear, so it must be the water source still hidden underground. What I smell is the smell of wet earth. When the sun comes out, this little bit of moisture will evaporate."
, Fortunately, I have locked the location of the water source, and it is no more than five miles away."
Feng Mo said in disbelief: "Brother Di can actually smell the underground water source five miles away?"
Zhuang Wen said: "Di Zhuang is an expert and a stranger, so he can do things that others cannot. What should we do now?"
Long Ying said: "We don't need to spend time setting up camp. After resting for a while, we should rush to the water source before the sun rises above our heads. Otherwise, we will get lost as we go, which will be bad."
Camels are indeed the best companions in the desert. After resting for half an hour, they set off on the road again as if nothing had happened. Everyone felt that humans and camels had merged into an inseparable whole, sharing life and death.
Less than three miles later, the terrain became flat. Instead of soft, hot sand or large sand dunes rising more than a hundred feet, the terrain became gentle swirling sand mixed with gravels of different colors. The closer you get to the water source
As it advanced, the sand dunes became smaller and sparse, and thick salt crust appeared on the surface, making everyone feel that there was hope ahead.
Dragon Eagle finally reined in his camel and landed, facing Wan and Feng who were still hunched over. They smiled happily and said, "Fortunately, I have finally found water in the desert outside the oasis for the first time."
Then he pointed to his feet and said, "The life-saving water is down there."
At this time, large groups arrived one after another, surrounding Longying.
Long Ying said with dignity: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Not only did we find the source of water, we also found the right path. Where we are now, it is a dried up tributary of the Khotan River, and the water flows under the sand and rocks.
The flow to the northeast will not only lead us back to the shortcut, but the oasis at the northern end of the exit is not far from us. As long as we deal with the enemies blocking the road, we can leave the respectable Taklimakan in two or three days. And the best part is.
We are located in the most strategically blessed place."
Everyone stared at him in despair, not only because the sun was rising high in the sky, but also because the sand was still endlessly spreading out on this gravel land.
Long Ying shouted: "Shovel!"
Feng Mo took the shovel hanging from the hunchback and threw it towards him.
Long Ying followed up with a graceful and beautiful movement, and pushed the shovel down until it was almost immersed into the shovel handle. When he pulled the shovel out from the depths of the sand, a column of water spurted out, soaking Long Ying's clothes.
The roaring roar was like a splash of water. People and camels desperately rushed towards the water column that sprayed higher and higher.
After everyone's efforts to excavate the underground water source, it turned into a large puddle more than twenty feet long and six feet wide. Although it was still mixed with sediment, it was enough to give them the feeling of survival from a desperate situation.
They set up camp around the water hole, while Long Ying and the other three followed the underground river to the northeast to spy on the enemy.
After walking for more than ten miles, they came to the top of a sand dune. Longying laughed and said, "Look!"
Under the sunset, a line of green appears in the distance. The front is no longer undulating sand dunes, but a flat semi-desert area, a bit like arriving in front of the Puchang Sea.
Feng Guoting sighed: "My mother! She can finally return to the world."
Long, Wan, both of you feel the same way. How could you have imagined that this trip would be so difficult?
Long Ying said: "There is the sound of horse hooves!"
The two listened attentively, and sure enough they heard the sound of hooves coming from the southeast, which became increasingly clear.
The three of them squatted on the sand dunes to avoid being noticed. After a long journey, it felt strange to see people and horses in this barren and lifeless land.
More than a dozen riders arrived at full speed, passing in front of them, heading towards the oasis.
Wan Renyu said with a smile: "It is finally confirmed that there are enemies waiting for us at the exit. It seems that they will not stay in the oasis, but as soon as they find our traces, they will immediately attack us head-on with overwhelming strength.
"
Feng Guoting said: "What a danger! If the number of the enemy is more than a thousand, and they use fast horses to attack us when we are exhausted, the three of us will have to walk around without food."
Long Ying smiled and said: "But how can humans compare with heaven? God is determined to help us tide over the difficulties, so he uses tornadoes to drive us down the wrong path, making us make mistakes again and again, and take the initiative again. His grandma,
If we can't kill them, they will abandon their arms and armor and run away. From now on, the word "dragon and eagle" will be written upside down."
Wan Renyu said harshly: "They are impatient. Return to our puddle to rest for a few days, and then come back to settle accounts with them."
The three of them felt better and turned back to the camp more than ten miles away.
The three returned to the camp and told Zhuang Wen and Feng Mo what they had seen. They both celebrated with their hands on their foreheads. They knew that they had made the right mistake and avoided disaster. They were even more happy because the shortcut exit was right in front of them. Enemies of any size,
It is not as dangerous and terrifying as the Great Sand Sea.
Feng Mo wanted to send spies immediately, but Wan Renyu stopped him and said: "In this flat semi-desert land, spies can't hide their whereabouts. Once discovered and arrested, our tricks will not be effective, so we must not do it."
"
Zhuang Wendao: "The three warriors are skilled in desert tactics. The general must listen to their opinions."
This reason is very far-fetched. It is all because of marching and fighting, which is another matter. Feng Mo has been in battle for a long time, and he is naturally not convinced if he is asked to hand over the command.
Zhuang Wen winked at Long Ying, and Long Ying looked at Wan Renyu. Wan Renyu nodded slightly. Feng Guoting pulled Feng Mo out of the blue and said, "Come on! Go aside, I have a few words to say."
.”
Zhuang Wen looked relieved, looked at the backs of the two of them, and said, "That guy from Jiajiasi hasn't woken up yet."
Long Ying smiled and said: "It's impossible. This guy must be pretending to be unconscious and looking for a chance to escape. He asked me to serve him."
Wan Renyu said: "I'm going to discuss the big plan with the general." After that, he went towards Feng Guoting, who was talking secretly to one side.
Zhuang Wen led Long Ying to the tent where the prisoners were imprisoned, and said, "Madam, I will ask you to go to her tent after you come back."
As they walked along the puddle, Long Ying wondered, "How could the water in the puddle become so clear?"
Zhuang Wen said: "We have water-clearing medicine. If you put it into the water, it can turn the turbid water into clear water."
Long Ying was surprised and said: "There is such a miraculous medicine. Traveling thousands of miles is worth reading thousands of books."
At this time, most people hid in their tents to sleep. Only a few wind lanterns were lit in the camp. The bright moon hung high in the eastern sky. Although the weather was cold, the wind was not strong. After experiencing the torture of the "Sea of Death", the situation before us
It is like a pure land on earth, which makes people feel the warmth in their hearts.
Zhuang Wen reminded him again: "Madam??"
The two stopped outside a tent.
Long Ying frowned and said, "Madam and the other three are sleeping peacefully in the tent. It wouldn't be appropriate to go into the tent to look for her now, isn't it?"
Zhuang Wen whispered: "Don't think Madam is unruly and willful. In fact, she has made great sacrifices for our country, so we are unwilling to disobey her. As long as it is her wish, there is no need to have any scruples."
Long Ying nodded in agreement, patted Zhuang Wen on the shoulder and said, "I want to interrogate this guy alone. It's time for you, sir, to have a good rest."
Zhuang Wen also knew that he could not hold on much longer, so he happily returned the account.
Dragon Eagle opened the tent and entered. In the light of the wind lantern on the top of the tent, the red-haired man's hands and feet were tied tightly, curled up on the wool felt, and covered with a quilt.
When Long Ying heard his pulse quicken, he knew that he had woken up early. He knelt down and untied him without hesitation, saying in Turkic language: "It belongs to a man. Sit up and talk to me, otherwise I will kill you with one palm."
.”
The big red-haired man suddenly opened his eyes, revealing his sparkling eyes. He sat up and looked at Long Ying, while he kept rubbing his hands and feet that were tied until they were numb.
A smile appeared on Long Ying's ugly face and he said: "No matter what, I will always be your savior. Never repay kindness with enmity."
The red-haired man was about to attack Long Ying when he heard this and showed a strange expression. He nodded and said, "I am Shengdu. Who are you? Why did you save me? Why did you untie the rope now?"
Long Ying said: "What a good man! The grudges are clear. Ha! You can go!"
Shengdu had an unbelievable look on his face, and said in disbelief: "Can I leave?"
Long Ying said: "Of course, your experience was so tragic. Only you died in the whole group. I can't kill the people I rescued again, so I have to let you go."
Shengdu looked ashamed and said: "This operation was carried out without telling our great khan, but the little khan has an order and we have to obey it. How did we know it would end like this? Frankly speaking, if you kill me,
It's all over now, because I no longer have the face to go back to see the little Khan."
Long Ying said: "With your skills, you can be free and happy. Do you have parents, wife and children in Xijiasi?"
Shengdu did not answer him, but asked instead: "Did you save me? I felt that someone was using very strange Qi to relax my meridians and smooth my pulse, making my blood flow smoothly."
Long Ying poked his chest with one finger. Before Shengdu could react instinctively as a master, Long Ying's lightning-fast fingers were already on his chest, and he injected demonic energy.
Long Ying smiled and said, "How?"
Shengdu said: "It is indeed you. Alas! There are actually as terrifying masters as you in the world!"
Long Ying said: "While it's dark! Leave quickly!"
Shengdu lowered his head and said, "Are you really willing to let me go?"
Long Ying said: "I never tell lies. Hey! This sentence must be a lie. It should be said that I never lie to my friends."
Shengdu smiled for the first time and said, "I believe you."
He looked at him with stern eyes again and said in a deep voice: "How can there be a master like you?"
Long Ying said: "I am not a Qimo person. If you regard me as a friend, don't bother to get to the bottom of it. You should pretend that you have never seen me before, so you can repay my life-saving grace for you!" (To be continued)
