Feng Ming raised the dagger and was about to take action.
"What are you doing!"
Lu Liangcai touched the hilt of the sword and blocked Feng Ming.
Feng Ming pointed at Qingfeng and asked Lu Liangcai angrily: "Are you going to work for something as inferior as a pig or a dog?"
Qingfeng chuckled sinisterly: "He doesn't do things for me, he does things for this thing."
Qingfeng reached into his pocket and took out a handful of broken gold.
"I'll pay him five hundred taels of gold to keep me alive."
Qingfeng tilted his head proudly.
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
Feng Ming suddenly trembled all over, and mocked with a sinister smile: "I didn't expect that your imperial guard would be reduced to hiring mercenaries to protect you. It's really ridiculous, hahahaha!"
Seeing that he could not do anything, Feng Ming waved his hand and all the Feng family members went out.
Feng Ming's words hurt Qingfeng. Qingfeng looked directly outside the tent, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Lin Xiaodong!——" The next morning, Long Yue's people woke up early and stood outside the tent, looking towards him from time to time.
Breezy tent.
After a while, the door curtain opened and Qingfeng came out.
Long Yue's people were very surprised: "How come you're not dead?"
"Then what did the Feng family do in there?"
"Did you spend money to buy it off?
Dog slaves like the Feng family can do anything."
When Long Yue saw that Qingfeng was still alive, he didn't take it seriously and walked up the sand dune to see the Populus euphratica forest.
Princess Xiyun cried all night, and not a single guard came in to see her. When she woke up in the morning, she still looked as usual, as if nothing had happened, and climbed onto the sand dune.
Long Yue clapped his hands and laughed, pointing in the distance and saying: "Did you see that? Brother Lin is on the right path! It will probably only take half a day's journey to catch up with the Populus euphratica forest. Where there are Populus euphratica trees, there should be water."
drink!"
Princess Xiyun nodded vigorously and was very happy: Father, you have to hold on, you must wait for me to take the fairy flowers back! Lin Xiaodong and the other three also walked up the sand dune to take a look. The Populus euphratica forest has never been so close, and they can see the crown of the trees.
Curved branches.
"Well, you can walk this distance before noon."
Lin Xiaodong nodded.
Princess Xiyun couldn't wait and called everyone: "Let's go! Where there are poplar trees, there is water to drink!"
When the mercenaries and guards heard that there was water to drink, they all stood up and came to the sand dune together. After watching for a while, everyone became excited, packed up their things, and set off quickly.
At noon, everyone finally arrived in front of Populus euphratica forest.
The sun hung high above everyone's heads, the sky was illuminated by the sun and turned light blue, and the endless sand dunes shone with white and yellow light.
On a high slope, a row of Populus euphratica trees stand proudly, with brown curved trunks, yellow-brown leaves, and twisted and sharp branches pointing straight to the sky, as if to demonstrate to the desert: even in the most extreme environment, life is still thriving.
!"Hahahaha, water!"
Everyone cheered and rushed into the Populus euphratica forest. In the yellow sand, there was a blue lake. The Populus euphratica forest grew along the lake and was a true desert oasis! The Feng family rolled and climbed, splashing and splashing, and they were so excited.
Feng Ming jumped directly into the water, with red eyes and cried bitterly. He slapped the water with his hands frantically, causing splashes of water: "If you keep persisting, you can drink water!"
The mercenaries and princess guards also jumped into the water in droves, but Long Yue's men had stolen the princess's water and hadn't finished drinking it yet, so they were not as excited as the others when they saw the water.
Lin Xiaodong, Lan Ruo, and Bai Yuquan drank water directly from the sand through vines and were not thirsty at all.
Except for Lan Ruo and Princess Xiyun, as well as the seriously injured Qingfeng, everyone else jumped into the water to drink and wash themselves. Lan Ruo and Princess Xiyun also wanted to wash up, but found it inconvenient. They wanted to be companions together, but
They also dislike each other.
Lan Ruo could keep her composure, but Princess Xiyun couldn't stand being dirty all over her body. She finally came to Lan Ruo and said with a straight face: "Let's go somewhere far away to wash up."
Lan Ruo didn't give Princess Xiyun a good look, but she still agreed. Without saying a word, she turned around and walked away. Princess Xiyun followed Lan Ruo. The two of them walked to a shallow beach and wanted to go into the water.
Lan Ruo untied her peach skirt, revealing the bandage on her back, which had been soaked with sweat. Fortunately, she took herbs every day and didn't suffer from inflammation.
The princess also took off her long dress. After several days of bumps and bumps, her skin became a lot rougher, but it was still fair and shiny, shining in the sun, making people unable to take their eyes away.
A group of old men were soaking in the water. They had been waiting for the princess and Lan Ruo to enter the water. They looked at her from a distance and shouted: "Take it off, take it off!"
"Oh, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to watch the princess take a bath! This trip is not in vain!"
"Huh, after following her through life and death, you should take a look at her!"
A group of men took a quick bath, washed themselves and drank enough, then went ashore to rest, lying on the beach in a huddle, admiring the fragrant scene of two beauties taking a bath.
Princess Lan Ruo and Xiyun just took off their coats and went into the water wearing underwear. Even so, there were many scenes. What the beauties were wearing under their clothes was not something that could be seen casually.
The two of them noticed the leering gazes of a group of older men on the shore, washed themselves hurriedly, went ashore, changed their clothes, and returned to the crowd.
The mercenaries, guards, and Long Yue's people all stared at Princess Xiyun and Lan Ruo. Princess Xiyun was furious: "What are you looking at?
If you look again, I’ll put your eyes out!”
Everyone turned their heads away. Princess Xiyun sat down beside her. Lu Liangcai lay on the sand, stretched his neck and looked at Princess Xiyun's back. He lowered his eyes with a wretched look on his face.
"What's our next move?"
Long Yue asked everyone.
Princess Xiyun pointed at Lin Xiaodong: "He has the treasure map in his hand, and he knows how to get there."
Lin Xiaodong spread his hands and shrugged: "Of course I know how to go, but why should I take you with me?"
Lu Liangcai asked knowingly: "What does your brother mean by this?"
Lin Xiaodong made it clear: "We, the three parties, are all going for the treasure. When the time comes, when we see the treasure and see the money, we will not be able to fight to the death?"
Princess Xiyun closed her eyes and said with a straight face: "I'm here to find the fairy flower. I just want the fairy flower."
Lin Xiaodong curled his lips and smiled: "You are a princess, of course you are not interested in money, but where are your guards and the mercenaries you hired?"
Princess Xiyun looked at several guards, whose faces were expressionless and did not express their attitude.
Lu Liangcai looked at his people, spread his hands and said: "I am a mercenary, not a tomb robber. This time I will only take the commission given to us by the princess."
Lin Xiaodong smiled: "Really?"
Only then did Lu Liang hear the sound outside Lin Xiaodong's strings, and pretended not to understand.
Long Yue glanced at everyone and said: "To be honest with you, I'm here to hunt for treasures. However, we have shared the joys and sorrows to get here. In the end, it would be too stupid to kill each other for the treasures. It's better to each get what he needs.
How about not interfering with each other, and the worst case scenario is splitting it equally between the three parties?"
