After everything was packed up, Qingfeng and Princess Xiyun also came out and got on their horses.
Qingfeng had to be supported by others before he could ride up. He looked in the direction of Lin Xiaodong's tent from a distance and said with a ferocious smile: "This is what you will get for plotting against me. Come and burn their tent for me!"
A guard took the order and walked towards Lin Xiaodong's tent.
I walked to the tent, squatted down, and was about to light the fire when the door curtain opened.
"ah!"
The guard was startled and sat on the ground.
Lin Xiaodong, Lan Ruo, and Bai Yuquan all came out of the tent.
"Um?"
Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and turned to ask the other guards: "Didn't you already arrange the smoke?"
The two guards who had just released the smoke hurriedly handed over their hands and said innocently: "We released it! There was no movement in the tent!"
Qingfeng blushed with anger, gritted her teeth and cursed: "Damn it! I got fooled by him again!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled, pretending to be confused, and asked: "Are you not the princess's bodyguard?
What do you want to do when you come to my tent in the middle of the night, holding a fire seal?"
"I, I..." the guard panicked, turned his head to look in the direction of Princess Xiyun and Qingfeng, turned around, pointed at the bonfire in front of the tent and said: "I see your bonfire is out, I lit it for you
You add some firewood."
Lin Xiaodong smiled and tilted his head and asked, "Do you have such a good intention?"
"Well, I was passing by!"
The guard put away the fire certificate in embarrassment, turned around and left.
Lin Xiaodong and the others walked towards Princess Xiyun. Lin Xiaodong said loudly: "Princess, where are you going in the middle of the night?"
When the plan was exposed, Princess Xiyun turned pale, pulled the reins, turned around and left: "We have found a way out, please don't accompany us!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled and challenged Qingfeng: "Princess, you came to the desert to hunt for treasure, why are you still wearing incense?"
Qingfeng gave Lin Xiaodong a sinister look, turned around and left without saying a word.
Lan Ruo even scolded her directly: "Princess Xiyun! Can you do such a dirty thing?
Put some incense?
Are you going to set fire to our tent?"
Princess Xiyun had already ridden away and shouted back: "I'm just playing with you!"
"Son of a bitch!"
Lan Ruo was so angry that she stamped her feet and turned to get angry at Lin Xiaodong: "Why don't you teach them a lesson!"
Lin Xiaodong glanced at the princess and sneered: "Desert will teach them a lesson for us!"
The three of them were about to go back. Long Yue opened the curtain and came out, rubbing his eyes and making a sleepy look. When he saw that the princess's tent had been taken away, he was startled: "Where are the people?
Where is the princess?"
Bai Yuquan glanced behind him and said, "Princess and the others are leaving first."
Long Yue opened his mouth and kept blinking, and asked in surprise: "Why did you just leave so quietly?"
Lan Ruo gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Asshole! Just leave! Leave Qingjing!"
Long Yue lowered his head and rolled his eyes: "But, they left, and we have no water to drink!"
Lin Xiaodong nodded and said awkwardly: "Yes, the water has bottomed out for the three of us."
"Why!"
Long Yue clasped his hands on his waist and shook his head, pointing in the direction where the princess was leaving: "When the princess was here, I didn't dare to say anything, but now that the princess is gone, I will say something.
I really didn’t expect Princess Xiyun to be such a person!”
"Using a living person as bait?
Do you condone her man named Qingfeng who kills innocent people indiscriminately?"
Long Yue shook his head and stared, his face full of anger.
Lan Ruo blushed and gritted her teeth: "That's right! She kills people regardless of right or wrong. Fortunately, she is just a princess. If she is in power in the future, won't the common people have no peace?"
"It's really unlucky. A few of us are in a desperate situation. When we see someone here asking for help, the princess refuses to help?
You don’t even give us a drink of water?”
Long Yue spread his hands and stared, talking enthusiastically to Lan Ruo.
Only then did Lin Xiaodong think of this question. How did Long Yue and his gang survive without water for such a long time?
The Feng family is half dead, but these people in Long Yue are all alive and kicking.
Lin Xiaodong became alert, blinked, and asked tentatively: "We have been trapped here for two or three days, what are your plans next?"
Long Yue shook his head: "We have been trapped here for almost a week and have not found a way out. Brother Lin, you have a treasure map in your hand. Can't you find a way out?"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "The information on the treasure map is too vague."
Long Yue thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go after the princess and the others."
Bai Yuquan waved his hand: "The princess is riding a horse, how can we keep up with her on foot?"
Long Yue spread his hands: "What should we do?
Princess, have they found their way?"
Bai Yuquan snorted coldly: "Princess and the others, they probably know their way by looking at the stars."
Long Yue shook his head disdainfully: "You can tell the way by looking at the stars?
It’s better to walk with your eyes closed!”
Lin Xiaodong gave Bai Yuquan and Lan Ruo a look and said: "We will look at the location of Populus euphratica when we get up tomorrow morning. If it takes another day or two, then we can only look at the stars to find our way."
Long Yue nodded: "That's all it can do."
The two groups went back to their tents. Lin Xiaodong checked the surroundings and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping. He whispered: "I think there is something wrong with this Long Yue. He came here to hunt for treasures. How could it be such a coincidence that we happened to meet the princess and us?"
Bai Yuquan blinked: "These are a group of tomb robbers, there is nothing suspicious about them."
Lin Xiaodong asked Bai Yuquan: "The Feng family has only been tortured like this for five days without drinking water. According to Long Yue, their people should have been without water for a week. How can they still be so alive and kicking?"
After saying this, Bai Yuquan also felt that Long Yue was suspicious, so he said: "What should we do?
Let’s sneak away in the middle of the night and get rid of them?”
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "You can tell the way by looking at the stars. I'm not sure whether I can get out. I'll think about it again."
Bai Yuquan and Lan Ruo took a rest first. Lin Xiaodong was worried and couldn't sleep, so he closed his eyes and meditated.
After a while, Song Qing was in the body and asked Lin Xiaodong: "Do you want to find water?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded and sighed softly: "Yes, if we can't get out, we will all die here."
Song Qing smiled: "I'm the best at finding water!"
Song Qing's words awakened Lin Xiaodong: "Yes!"
Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand, and a vine grew from his finger and dug into the sand.
The sand is soft, and the vines can easily reach a depth of more than ten meters. Below is conglomerate, and between the rock layers is cold fissure water.
Song Qing said proudly: "Not only can I find water, but I can also know where the water goes. If I follow the water, I will definitely be able to get out of the desert."
Lin Xiaodong's eyes shone again: "Yes, why follow the stars? Follow the water. Not only can you get out, but you can also find the Populus euphratica forest!"
Bai Yuquan and Lan Ruo had just fallen asleep when they were woken up by Lin Xiaodong: "What's wrong?"
Lin Xiaodong excitedly grabbed the arms of Bai Yuquan and Lan Ruo: "I found a way to go to Populus euphratica forest!"
