"I just said, I want to go to the Garuda Kingdom with you," Qu Le put the remaining half of the bun in his hand into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it in one gulp, and then patted it with his oily paws.
The baggage behind me, "Look, I've even prepared my luggage. Time is running out, let's go quickly!"
Elder Lan said, "If you leave, what will happen to those people who are poisoned?"
Qu Le said cheerfully: "I have temporarily controlled the poison in them. Now I just need to give them medicine on time every day. I have told others the prescription and the things that need attention, and they will take good care of them for me."
Those patients."
Seeing her like this, she seemed to have made a decision long ago. Elder Lan sighed: "It's already troublesome for you to save people. These are private matters within our clan. I really shouldn't bother you. You don't have to come here."
A pool of muddy water.”
Qu Lehun waved his hand nonchalantly: "I'm not going to Jialou Kingdom just for you. I have private matters to attend to, so I'm just dropping by."
Seeing what she said, Elder Lan had no choice but to compromise: "Then, you can come with us."
"Okay!" Qu Le immediately got into the carriage. After they were seated securely, Lan Li waved his whip and the carriage slowly drove out and ran towards the distant Garuda Kingdom.
It was a long journey from southern Xinjiang to Garuda. They walked for more than half a month before they arrived at the capital of Garuda.
There are guards guarding the city gate, and everyone who wants to enter the city must go through inspection. It is still early in the morning, and there is already a long queue at the city gate, all of which are people who want to enter the city today.
Qu Le stood next to the carriage, her face covered with a veil, covering most of her facial features, only revealing a pair of beautiful sparkling eyes. She looked up at the three big characters above the city gate... Starlight City.
She laughed: "The name is really fake. Why not just call it Moon City?"
Lan Li had just gone ahead to explore the road, leaving only Qu Le and Elder Lan to guard the carriage and luggage. After hearing her complaints, Elder Lan said lightly: "It is said that there was once a king of the Garuda Kingdom who had this idea.
He planned to change the name of this place to Moon City to commemorate the once glorious Moonlight City. Unfortunately, he did not live long, and he gave up on the idea not long after he came up with it. Some people say that this is the name of this city.
You can't change it casually, otherwise someone will die because of it, and over time, no one will mention it."
Qu Le couldn't help but said: "Is the name of this city cursed..."
Elder Lan immediately interrupted her and said seriously: "In the Garuda Kingdom, cursing is a very taboo thing. You cannot even mention it, otherwise you will be sent to prison by the guards."
Qu Le touched her nose angrily: "Okay, I'll never say it again."
It didn't take long for Lan Li to come back. He said: "I have inquired about it. Recently, due to the reappearance of Yuehua City, more and more people have come to explore the Garuda Kingdom. Among them are many gangsters and thieves.
Bandits and swindlers, people were robbed or even killed almost every day in the city, seriously endangering the personal safety of the residents in the city, so the king ordered martial law, and everyone entering the city must be strictly inspected. There are relatively few people today. If it were changed
Just like yesterday, the people queuing up now have reached the other side of the river."
Qu Le craned her neck and looked forward. The end of the long queue was almost invisible. She couldn't help but smack her lips: "There are so many people, aren't they? These people are crazy about getting rich!"
They waited from morning until the sun was about to set before entering the city.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the red afterglow cast a veil over this town standing in the desert. It was like a graceful dancer wrapped in red sand, dancing in the desert, exuding a unique and exotic beauty.
Due to the large number of people entering the city, all the inns in the city were overcrowded. Qu Le and the three of them traveled throughout the city until midnight before they found a B&B to stay in.
The owners of the B&B are a couple with a pair of eight-year-old twin daughters. After Elder Lan paid a generous accommodation fee, they received Qu Le and the three of them very warmly and served them freshly made hot meals.
Hot meals and dishes.
The three people, who were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, devoured the food like a violent storm. After eating and drinking, the three people simultaneously expressed high praise for the craftsmanship of the meal.
Only when the hostess reported the cost of the meal, Elder Lan felt a severe pain in his heart. The price was enough for them to have a big meal in the restaurant!
After paying for the meal, the three of them went back to their rooms to wash up and sleep.
Qule woke up early the next morning. She, Elder Lan and Lan Li went out to find out about Moonlight City and buy some things they might need.
Starlight City is a town with a very Western style. Most of the men in the city wear Hufu. There are also a few men who are too hot to take off their shirts to expose their strong muscles. The women all wear long skirts that reach their ankles, revealing their slender figure.
Some people from relatively wealthy families will also hang some gold and silver jewelry on their arms and necks.
When they first arrived here, Lan Li and Elder Lan were not used to these women showing their arms and waists. Every time they passed by, they would invariably avert their eyes and maintain their dignity.
Qu Le didn't have as many scruples as they did. She looked around curiously. Not only was the name of Starlight City different from Moonlight City, but even the architectural layout was almost the same. It was obvious that all the kings of the Garuda Kingdom had been trying to imitate it.
Moonlight City hopes to return to its former glory. Unfortunately, in Qu Le's eyes, all of this has become an imitation. The Moonlight City she saw in Eve's memory is far more prosperous and wealthy than this place.
, the faces of the people living in Moonlight City are all filled with happy smiles. The kind of happiness that comes from the heart makes people feel very happy just by looking at them. It is definitely not comparable to the gray faces in front of them.
They walked around for most of the day and got a little tired, so they randomly found a tea shop to rest.
The tea shop owner served a large pot of tea and several local snacks. Qu Le lowered his head, pulled off his veil, grabbed the tea bowl and took a sip. The tea here is soaked with various dried fruits.
It has a sweet and sour taste in the mouth.
Elder Lan and Lan Li used their bodies to help her shield her from other people's eyes. The reason was simply because this girl's appearance was too gorgeous. If others looked at her, she would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Qule quickly drank the fruit tea, stuffed a few snacks into her mouth, and then put her veil back on.
Elder Lan asked her: "We are going to Moonlight City to explore the road tomorrow. What are your plans next?"
Qu Le said cheerfully: "I'll go with you."
Elder Lan frowned: "No, Moonlight City is too dangerous. We can't risk your life. If you have nothing else, just wait here for us to come back. I will help you pay the room fee for a month. If you are a
If the two of us haven't come back in a month, you can go back directly and don't have to come to us again."
Judging from his tone, they went to Moonlight City with a certain death intention. This was not acceptable. Elder Lan was her grandfather. How could she just watch her grandfather die?
She leaned forward mysteriously and lowered her voice and said, "To tell you the truth, I actually know some secrets about Moonlight City, and maybe I can help you."
Elder Lan and Lan Li were stunned, and then looked around to make sure no one noticed them and then breathed a sigh of relief. Elder Lan said in a lower voice: "Don't tell such jokes casually, in case someone else
If you take it seriously, your situation will be in danger."
Just imagine, a girl who knows the secret of Moonlight City. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, as long as people know it, it will immediately cause a bloody storm in the world.
Seeing that they really cared about her, Qu Le felt warm in her heart. She whispered: "I'm not joking, and I'm not talking nonsense. I'm very serious. You must believe me, I won't lie to you!"
Seeing her sincere gaze, Elder Lan's heart skipped a beat and asked with some excitement: "You, do you really know the secrets about Moonlight City?"
Qu Le nodded vigorously: "How do I know specifically? It is not convenient to tell you this matter, but I can tell you exactly that I know the location of the palace where King Yulan lives in Moonlight City."
Elder Lan and Lan Li were stunned at the same time, their hearts beating even more frantically. Most people in the world enter Moonlight City with the purpose of going to the palace, but very few people can actually find the palace. At least they have never heard of such a thing.
Rumors. If what Qu Le said is true, then the danger of Elder Lan and Lan Li entering Moonlight City this time can be minimized.
Qu Le looked at them sincerely and said, "Just trust me once, I won't joke about this kind of thing."
The temptation she presented was too great. Elder Lan and Lan Li were a little undecided for a while. There were too many people here to discuss the matter. When the sun went down, they returned to the B&B. Elder Lan and Lan Li gathered together
After discussing it together for half a night, we finally made a decision.
Elder Lan said to Qu Le: "We can take you there, but you must obey the command and cannot run around, let alone touch anything in Moonlight City. You must remember that we are looking for medicine."
Those who lead people to rescue are not those who go hunting for gold and treasure!"
They have compromised!
Qu Le immediately stood at attention and took a breath, shouting exaggeratedly: "Promise to obey the discipline!"
Seeing her naughty smile, Elder Lan couldn't help but laugh too. This girl's personality was very similar to A Le's. Every time he saw her, he couldn't help but think of his deceased granddaughter, and his heart was full of nostalgia.
sigh.
The next morning, just after dawn, they drove the carriage out of the city with their baggage on their backs.
Moonlight City is to the east of Starlight City, said to be a hundred miles away.
After leaving the city gate, what greeted them was the endless desert. The car was swaying, and Qu Yue was shaken to sleep. Elder Lan saw that her head was shaking up and down like a chicken pecking at rice. It was really
Worried that her slender neck would break due to the shaking, he quickly advised: "Squint for a while, and I'll call you when you get there." (To be continued)
