This place is filled with sand and rocks, and there are countless stone mountains all around for hundreds of miles.
The closer we get to the border of Yeliang Kingdom, the more desolate and deserted we feel.
The carriage has stopped.
"These people? Ran away?" Xia Houyan thought, "That's probably not the case. The person who responded seems to be just one person."
The carriage door was lazily opened by Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao, who was exhausted from driving all the way, lowered his head and said desperately, "Master, do you want to continue moving forward now?"
Xia Houyan folded his fan and said, "Let's go, of course we go. It's almost evening now, we must at least enter the city before dark."
"Isn't there someone who is indistinguishable from friend to foe?" Xiao Qiao muttered, "I am a weak woman, my martial arts skills are extremely poor, I am afraid I am not even as good as that little beast. I will die if I encounter danger."
Zhaocai had been lying on the carpet with his chin resting on his paws. He was very happy to hear this and thought it was a compliment, so he went to lick Xiao Qiao's hand.
Xia Houyan said disapprovingly, "What's so scary? Even if you don't believe in me, your master, isn't there someone more powerful here?"
Mu Xiaobao nodded, "Sister Xiao Qiao, don't be afraid, Xiaobao can protect you!"
When Xia Houyan heard this, he just smiled politely and looked at Mu Lingbo.
"Ling Bo?" Seeing that she was in a daze for a moment, he was nervous for a moment, "Is there something new?"
Mu Lingbo looked away from the thousand-year-old raccoon dog and said, "No, they have indeed left. Let's continue into the city. This place is indeed too desolate."
When we arrived at the border of Yeliang Kingdom, the city gate was closed.
"It's so annoying, Master, no matter how much I shout, no one responds, and my voice is hoarse!" Xiao Qiao came back frustrated, "Is there anyone in this place?"
Xia Houyan opened the door of the carriage, and Mu Xiaobao nimbly came out with his fortune.
"Ouch, Xiaobao is so exhausted!" He immediately stretched his waist and stretched his muscles as soon as he came out.
Xiao Qiao put her hands on her hips and pouted, "Xiaobao, why are you tired? I was the one driving all the way. I didn't even say I was tired!"
Mu Xiaobao said pitifully, "Xiaobao is so tired from sleeping!"
Xia Houyan glanced at him and said, "Aren't you rolling around in sleep on my rug worth a thousand pieces of gold?"
"Uncle Xiahou was wrong, it's Xiaobao's carpet!"
"...Yes, uncle's habit has not changed for a while. Didn't you have a great time sleeping on the carpet that cost you a thousand gold?" Xia Houyan's face was covered with black lines.
Mu Xiaobao nodded with satisfaction, "The carpet is good, but it's not as comfortable as the bed."
After saying that, he turned several somersaults to show that he was suffocated in the carriage.
Mu Lingbo leaned in the carriage and only patted the bench, "Can you hurry up, I don't even have to eat the fruit." Seeing Xia Houyan next to him with a resentful look on his face, he said, "What? I occasionally play a guest role as the difficult rich second generation.
Isn’t it possible?”
"You've already made a guest appearance all the way..." After saying that, Xia Houyan immediately cheered himself up and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, you can continue!"
The most important task assigned by the big devil is actually how to make this aunt arrive in a comfortable mood.
Xiao Qiao rolled her eyes and said to Mu Xiaobao with a smile, "Xiaobao, can you tell them to open the door?"
Mu Xiaobao finally stood still, raised his head and looked at the somewhat damaged and shabby city wall in front of him. The wooden gate was about five or six people tall, but it had been exposed to wind and rain for many years and had not been repaired, so it was partially rotten and visible.
As if vulnerable.
"This door... can Xiaobao kick it open?" He touched his chin.
Xiao Qiao continued to put her hands on her hips and looked up at the city wall together. There was no guard on the city wall. "If we kick it open... they probably won't let us in. It's really strange that the place is closed!"
Yeliang Kingdom is in the far west, separated from other vassal states by a barren mountain. Very few people would take the initiative to go to such a small and inconspicuous country that is difficult to get to.
There was almost nothing for people to make a living in the desolation outside the city, and no citizens inside the city came out.
This country is like an island isolated in the west.
"Oh, this is really troublesome!" Mu Xiaobao said worriedly, "Then I'll shout and see if any uncle is willing to come out."
Xiao Qiao couldn't be happier to be able to hand over this hard work.
But before I could react, there was a sudden thunder-like sound in my ears, "Open the door! It's raining, and it's time to put away the clothes!"
Although the voice still has a childlike sound of milk, the breath is strong and powerful, and it is transmitted continuously.
Xiao Qiao, who was standing next to him without any mental preparation, was stunned after that sound.
There was a buzzing in my ears, as if a thunderbolt suddenly came to me, and I couldn't hear other sounds for a long time.
She kept slapping her ears, feeling like she was deaf. She really wanted to cry, but then she thought it would be better to cultivate herself. This kind of shouting could be used as a weapon.
However, after such a sound, the city gate was still closed.
There are only two solitary flagpoles on the city wall, not even a flag.
Xiao Qiao rubbed his ears and shouted to Mu Xiaobao, "Why is there no one yet? Is there no one in the city?"
Mu Xiaobao covered his ears, "Sister Xiao Qiao, please lower your voice, I can hear you!"
"But I can't hear you!"
Mu Lingbo's cold voice came out, "If others refuse to open the door, open the door yourself!"
Xia Houyan said leisurely, "It's really strange. There are obviously people inside, but why don't they open the door? Could it be that they are all deaf inside?"
Both he and Mu Lingbo could hear that there were people in the city, but they were not near the city gate. But after Mu Xiaobao's voice that wanted to alarm the whole city, no one made any movement.
"In this case, Xiaobao will have to rely on his own intelligence."
I saw him skipping briskly to the big wooden door. After studying it for a moment, I found that the door was locked from the inside.
"Zhaocai, let's go." Mu Xiaobao said and flew up directly with Zhaocai, climbed up the city wall nimbly, and jumped over the city wall.
"Hey, this place is so strange, don't you worry about Xiaobao going alone?" Xia Houyan asked strangely.
Mu Lingbo yawned lightly, "It's okay. Although it's a little strange, I didn't find anything threatening."
Sure enough, within a moment, there was a dull roar.
The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and the last rays of the setting sun penetrated through the gap in the door.
Mu Xiaobao and Zhaocai worked half a door each, and opened the door completely. The tall wooden door looked like the two who pushed it had mistakenly entered the land of giants, and were extremely miniaturized.
At that moment, the mini-hero-like image disappeared. The next moment, Mu Xiaobao and Zhaocai began to run forward, "We have been discovered, run quickly——"
