Lin Xiaodong stared at Lan Ruo and kept blinking, then suddenly smiled evilly, which made Lan Ruo look dumbfounded and leaned back: "What's wrong?"
Lin Xiaodong took out the treasure map and spread it on the blanket for the two of them to see: "We are probably at this location now. We have already walked through the places other than Populus euphratica forest. This part of the treasure map is useless.
It’s this little piece in the middle that’s useful.”
Lan Ruo raised her head and smiled after hearing this, already knowing what Lin Xiaodong wanted to do.
Lin Xiaodong took out a small dagger from his arms and dug a hole in the middle of the treasure map.
"Just leave this small part to me, and leave the rest to you."
Lin Xiaodong handed Lan Ruo the treasure map with a hole dug in it.
"As long as the treasure map is still in our hands, the princess, Long Yue and the others will not dare to do anything to us."
Lin Xiaodong and the other three were attacked by Qingfeng in the middle of the night, but finally decided to stay with the princess.
The next morning, everyone got up early and the group climbed to the sand dunes.
Lin Xiaodong and the other three also followed up and saw Populus euphratica appearing due south, about two days' journey away from them.
Princess Xiyun said angrily: "I have been chasing Populus euphratica for three days and I still can't catch up. I'm so angry!"
Qingfeng said from the side: "Princess, don't leave today. Wait two days and see where this Populus euphratica forest can go."
Princess Xiyun agreed: "That's the only way."
Lin Xiaodong and the other three also returned to the tent and continued to rest.
At noon, the sun rose, and I was still hot and sticky even when I was hiding in the tent.
There was a dead silence in the camp, and everyone was hiding in their tents.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the princess's camp.
"What's wrong?"
Lan Ruo opened the tent and took a look.
Lin Xiaodong also poked his head out and saw the gate of the princess's camp surrounded by people and the Feng family, pleading with the princess: "Princess, have mercy on me. I have an elder and a younger one. If I die, no one will take care of me."
,Princess, just give me some saliva!"
"Princess, I haven't drank water for five days. If I don't drink water, I will really die!"
"Princess, are you just going to watch your people die of thirst?"
When Bai Yuquan saw this, he felt that something was wrong: "If this person gets thirsty, he might not do anything. If they don't dare to collide with the princess, they will try to take advantage of us."
Lin Xiaodong said: "What's not worth mentioning about the Feng family is that they don't know the strength of Long Yue's group.
It seems to me that they are all desperadoes."
Bai Yuquan looked at Long Yue and said, "Long Yue, who is taking the lead, is a pretty good person."
Long Yue and Feng Ming also pleaded with the princess: "Princess! There are so many of us here, do you really want to watch us die of thirst?"
Princess Xiyun glanced at everyone and remained unmoved: "I came to this ghost place to collect medicine to treat my father's illness. What does the life and death of you people have to do with me?"
Long Yue and Feng Ming were speechless. They didn't expect that the current princess would be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
When Qingfeng heard the noise, he rushed over, pushed aside everyone, stood in front of Princess Xiyun, and shouted sternly: "What are you doing?
Do you want to rebel?"
Long Yue and Feng Ming hurriedly bowed their heads and handed over their hands: "The little one just wants to ask for a drink of water!"
Qingfeng sneered and rolled her eyes: "Our water is all reserved for the princess. The princess has a heavy responsibility during this trip. If the king's condition is delayed, it will not be enough to kill you ten clans!"
Princess Xiyun glanced at the Feng family with disgust and said coldly: "I have given you two chances, but you failed. When I let you go, it was you who brought you back. Now you are going to die of thirst."
In this desert, it’s your own fault!”
After hearing this, the Feng family lowered their hands in despair.
Princess Xiyun looked at Long Yue again, glanced at the people accompanying Long Yue, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Do you want to drink water?
OK, I'll give you a chance."
The princess pointed at the tent where Lin Xiaodong and the others lived, and said with bared teeth: "Kill Lin Xiaodong and bring the treasure map. Their water will be yours."
Several of Long Yue's men glanced at the direction of Lin Xiaodong's tent and were eager to try. They said to Long Yue: "Boss, I'm going to kill Lin Xiaodong right now!"
Long Yuechong glared at his men, looked back at Princess Xiyun and Qingfeng, and lectured: "Old Mr. Bai saved our lives, how can we fight against them?"
The subordinates were unconvinced: "Then we will die of thirst like this?"
Princess Xiyun smiled crookedly, folded her arms to watch the show, and said, "If you don't succeed in giving me a chance, then just wait until you die of thirst."
Long Yue's men were all dissatisfied and muttered. Long Yue waved: "Let's go."
Long Yue and his party went back to their tents, and several of their men looked at Lin Xiaodong with eager eyes.
Lin Xiaodong and the others were hiding in the distance. Although they couldn't hear clearly what the princess and the others were talking about, they could guess the general idea by looking at the eyes of Long Yue's men.
Lan Ruo gritted her teeth and cursed: "Princess Xiyun is really hateful. She asked the Feng family to beat us before, and now she wants Long Yue and the others to beat us! If she is not a princess, I will kill her!"
Bai Yuquan also felt that something was not good, and said: "Let's leave first and hide for two days. By then, Long Yue, the others, and the Feng family will die of thirst."
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "We don't have much water or food, and we don't have horses. We can't walk fast, and we can't last two days. If we want to get out alive, we have to rely on the supplies brought by the princess."
Bai Yuquan and Lan Ruo suddenly realized that Lin Xiaodong was interested in what the princess brought.
Bai Yuquan then said: "Brother Lin, just have a good rest during the day. I'm afraid Long Yue and the Feng family will have to take action at night, and they will have to rely on you then."
Lin Xiaodong nodded, meditated, and went to practice Qigong.
On the other side, Long Yue and others returned to the tent, and his men were very angry and argued fiercely: "Why don't you take action?
If this continues, I’m going to die of thirst!”
Another subordinate was eager to try: "Let me kill Lin Xiaodong and get the water and the treasure map!"
Long Yue shook his head: "No.
If we can't get out, everyone will die, so what's the point of killing him?
Let’s talk about it after we get out.”
In the afternoon, as the sun set in the west, a clear eagle call suddenly came from the sky.
The quiet camp was once again in commotion. Qingfeng and Lu Liangcai shouted: "The Gu Eagle is here again!"
Lin Xiaodong and three others rushed out of the tent and saw Qingfeng leading the guards and Lu Liangcai leading the mercenaries, completely surrounding the princess's tent. They looked nervous and prepared, but they all looked up at the sky, as if they were wary of danger coming from the sky.
.
"What's wrong?"
Lan Ruo was confused and looked up at the sky, and saw a small black dot floating very high in the sky.
