Gu Fuzhou was a little dissatisfied with his cold, violent and uncooperative attitude. Just when he was about to say something else, Elder Lan, who had been silent, spoke up: "That girl is our guest. We don't know her specific origins.
, but we can assure you that she can absolutely be trusted."
At this time, Miao Ben suddenly echoed: "The poor monk is also willing to vouch for her."
At this moment, it was Gu Fuzhou's turn to be stunned. He asked in confusion: "You still dare to vouch for someone who doesn't know her origins?"
"My surname is Sun and my name is Wukong. I am twenty-three years old this year. My ancestral home is Huaguoshan. I am unmarried." Qu Le, who appeared behind him at some unknown time, suddenly said quietly, "If you have any questions, Mr. Gu, you can ask them as well."
Come out, as long as I can answer it, I will not dare to hide it from Mr. Gu."
Her tone was very cold, and it could be seen that she was not in a good mood right now.
When he heard her name, Miao Ben's expression became a little subtle, while Jue Yu glanced at her strangely and murmured in a low voice: "It turns out there is really someone with such a name..."
Gu Fuzhou immediately turned to look at Qu Le and said with a smile: "Miss Sun, your name is so special, just like your person... touching!"
Qu Le twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to laugh or not: "Haha."
Gu Fuzhou didn't take her coldness to heart at all. Even beauties can have a little temper. As long as it doesn't hinder the overall situation, he can accept it! Like a piece of brown sugar, Gu Fuzhou continued to stick to Qu Le's side and talk nonsense.
Interesting insights, hoping to make the beauty smile.
It's a pity that the beauty is beautiful, but she is too indifferent. No matter how much he talks about her, she doesn't react at all.
In the end, Lan Li couldn't listen anymore and got up first: "I'm going to bed."
Not long after he left, everyone else also left one after another, and finally only Gu Fuzhou and Qu Le were left.
It was supposed to be a romantic world for two people in front of flowers and under the moon, but it was King Xiang who wanted the goddess to be ruthless. When Gu Fuzhou said that his dry tongue and mouth finally stopped, he no longer used his hot face to touch the other person's cold ass. Before he got up and left
, asked politely: "Aren't you going to bed yet?"
Qule finally gave him a look of relief: "I'm not sleepy."
"Then I'll leave first."
Not getting a second look from the beauty, Gu Fuzhou smiled nonchalantly and walked away gracefully.
The lake was illuminated by the moonlight and the cool breeze was blowing. Except for a few people who were responsible for keeping watch, everyone else had fallen asleep. The people in the caravan consciously huddled in a small open space next to them. They finished counting the goods and sent some food over.
They were all received by the people responsible for the night watch. Among them, a woman wrapped in a veil pointed to Qule and whispered a few words in his ear. The night watchman hesitated for a moment, and then led the
The woman walked to Qule's side.
The night watchman blushed and said to Qu Le: "This is the wife of the caravan leader. She said that in order to thank us for saving them, she wanted to give you something."
Qu Le quickly stood up: "You are the ones who saved her. You have nothing to do with me. You don't need to give me anything."
The night watchman conveyed her words to the leader's wife, but the leader's wife still insisted on giving her something. The leader's wife respectfully presented a bundle with both hands, then folded her hands on her shoulders, bowed slightly, and performed a prayer towards Qu Le.
A gift from the Kingdom of Lou.
Qu Le had no choice but to take the baggage and follow the example of a woman, hugging her shoulders and bowing. Unfortunately, she didn't learn it well enough, her movements were clumsy, and she looked a bit coquettish.
The woman smiled at her and was taken away by the night watchman.
Qu Le sat back and opened the baggage, finding a black cloak with exquisite workmanship inside.
It didn't seem to be a particularly valuable thing, but the next morning, Qu Le showed the cloak to Gu Fuzhou and said that it was given to her by the wife of the leader of the caravan. Gu Fuzhou glanced at the cloak and said with a smile: "
This thing is good, you can keep it and use it."
After hearing what he said, Qu Le accepted it with peace of mind.
The road from the oasis to Moonlight City was all desert, and the sand was so soft that ordinary carriages could no longer pass through it, so Lan Li and Elder Lan had to abandon the carriage and get on the camels assigned to them by Gu Fuzhou.
Qu Le also got a beautiful female camel. She was wrapped in a black cloak and rested comfortably on the camel's hump. She was placed in the middle of the camel team.
The caravan was going in another direction. They came to say goodbye to Gu Fuzhou, and the two parties parted ways.
The bell on the camel's neck jingled crisply, and Gu Fuzhou led everyone towards Moonlight City.
Moonlight City was built in the deepest part of the desert. The closer they got to Moonlight City, the softer the sand became. When a camel stepped on it, the sand would reach up to its knees. If it were an ordinary horse, it would be brought to its knees.
The wind and sand became stronger and stronger, making the clothes rustle. Qu Le wrapped her cloak tightly and hid her whole face in the hood.
The quality of this cloak is really good. It can not only prevent wind, but also prevent sand and dust. No matter how strong the wind and sand blow, as long as she does not let go of the cloak, the sand will not blow into her face, saving her a lot of suffering. Moreover,
This cloak is also very breathable, so she won't feel suffocated even if she stayed in it for a long time without showing her face.
Gu Fuzhou didn't lie to her, this cloak was indeed very good!
The team walked for who knows how long. The scorching sunshine almost baked the entire desert, and everyone was extremely hot.
Maybe the cloak also has the function of protecting the sun. Qule hid in the cloak so that she didn't feel too hot, but she still felt thirsty from time to time. The air inside was extremely dry and she could easily become dehydrated. She took out the water bottle she carried with her and raised her head.
She took a small sip. The water resources in the desert were extremely precious, so she had to drink slowly and sparingly.
She opened her hood a small gap and glanced at the sky outside, which was dazzlingly white.
Lan Li, who was following her, noticed her movements and thought she was checking the time, so he took the initiative to tell her: "We are very close to the moonlight. If nothing else happens, we can feel the destination before the sun sets."
.”
Qu Le looked back at the sky and asked him blankly: "Do you think Li Changfeng will really go to Moonlight City?"
Lan Li was confused: "Maybe, why are you asking?"
"It's nothing, just ask," Qule pulled up his hood again, his eyes fell into darkness again, and a voice in his heart asked him cautiously.
Xiao Feng, where are you now?
Xiao Feng, Xiao Lezi misses you so much.
In the other direction of Moonlight City, there is a grand canyon. This canyon was once a witness left by the earthquake. It is said that when the canyon first appeared, clear water kept pouring out from the ground and filled the entire grand canyon, so it was called clear water.
canyon.
Unfortunately, after a hundred years, the clear water in Qingshui Canyon has dried up, and clear water no longer emerges from the ground. It has become a dry and barren land.
However, since this place is surrounded by rock walls on three sides, it is a good place to shelter from the wind and spend the night. If a caravan of travelers passes by this place, they will spend the night here before leaving.
Today in Qingshui Canyon, a group of people also stopped here to rest.
This group of people seems to be together, but if you look closely, you can find that they are actually divided into two groups. One of the groups consists of men and women. They seem to be from the Jianghu, and they are full of gangsterism. When they talk,
Their voices were extremely loud and their laughter was hearty and unrestrained; while the other group was much more low-key. They were all young men. They seemed to have received professional training. They acted calmly and quietly, and their cooperation was extremely tacit.
Most of the first group of people gathered around the fire and grilled food. They talked and laughed, obviously not taking the harsh environment here seriously.
The second group of people are quietly distributed in various key locations. They are fully armed. Whenever there is the slightest danger, they will immediately draw their swords and take action.
The two groups are clearly distinct, yet there is a subtle tacit understanding.
Next to the fire, a pretty girl with two braids pouted, pulled the strong man beside her and asked: "Brother, give me this roasted chicken, I want to give it to Mr. Li.
He hasn't eaten anything today, so he must be hungry."
As soon as she said these words, everyone burst out laughing and looked at her narrowly: "Shanshan, we asked you why you are always hanging around Mr. Li along the way. It turns out that Xiao Nizi is in love with you!"
The sturdy man whom Shanshan called her brother also shook his head helplessly: "It's true that women are not allowed to stay!"
Shanshan didn't feel shy, so she grabbed the roast chicken directly from their hands, stood up and said proudly: "I just have a crush on him, what's wrong?"
After saying that, she ran away with the roasted chicken that was browned and crispy.
Everyone focused their attention on Shanshan's brother and said with a smile: "Brother Tie, when will you invite us to drink your Shanshan's wedding wine?"
The full name of the man called Brother Tie is Tie Haoge. He glanced at the girl who had run away and sighed helplessly: "You guys, please stop making noise here. It's not like you haven't seen that Li Changfeng along the way.
Regarding our Shanshan's attitude, he has no interest in Shanshan at all. From the beginning to the end, Shanshan is just shaving her head."
As soon as this was said, everyone was quiet for a moment.
Anyone with eyes can tell that Li Changfeng doesn't like Tie Shanshan, and only Tie Shanshan, a silly girl, is using her hot face to rub her cold ass.
Someone broke the silence and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, a virtuous woman is afraid of being entangled with her husband. Now it's a different direction. It should be useful."
Others nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, our girl Shan is so good-looking, she will surely impress that Li Changfeng! And we see that Li Changfeng is not an ordinary person, and judging from the air of his whole body, he might be a prince or noble."
, when Sister Shan marries him, she will really enjoy happiness in the future!"
Li Changfeng's identity is extraordinary, Tie Haoge also guessed this, so he always acquiesced in his sister's behavior of backing Li Changfeng, and only hoped that she could impress Li Changfeng. According to Li Changfeng's background and character, his sister would definitely marry him in the future.
Can live a happy and stable life.
Thinking of this, Tie Haoge couldn't help but have some expectations for his sister, hoping that she would be able to claim compensation as she wished.
Tie Shanshan climbed up the boulder at the entrance of the canyon and saw the handsome man sitting on the boulder. She couldn't help but blush. (To be continued)
