I am fish

Zhen Wenjun and others lived in the Central Plains since they were young, and what they saw were the mountains and green waters. Although they had learned about the horrors of the desert from the ancient rhinoceros and the population of the Tigers before they set off, this horror was only an abstract concept.

You will be lucky if the pain is not really on yourself, especially the group of people who have just escaped from death.

Drifting on the sea for so many days, I survived on the line of life and death, and my life should not die.This is a good omen, and it is the best omen that they will be able to find the Liuhuo Nation and reopen the Wanxiang Road.

Ambitious Central Plains people were attracted by the magnificent yellow sand stretching thousands of miles when they first entered the desert, and they were quite curious about the sights they had never seen before.Soon, the strong wind blew yellow sand towards them. Even though they covered their mouths and noses, their eyes were still closed by the blowing sand.

Within a day, Zhen Wenjun's eyes were burnt red, and everything he saw was blurry and full of double images.No matter how much water you drink under the scorching sun, you still feel thirsty.The guide warned them to drink water sparingly. If they got lost, they would spend a long time in the desert. Countless people would die of thirst if they could not find water.

This guide is from Bixi, and he can speak the Central Plains dialect, but with a very strong accent, and he has to guess half a sentence.

He has always been wearing a cowhide hat with a wide and long brim that can cover most of his dark, thin, wrinkled face.

The guide called himself "Aye". "Aye" also means father in the Central Plains dialect. Zhen Wenjun couldn't say it, feeling that this person was taking advantage of them.Aye likes to laugh very much. Whenever he finished the last word, no matter what other people's expressions, he would laugh first. His eyes are always squinted so that people can't see where he is looking.He also likes to make physical contact with people, hugging and hugging Zhen Wenjun, when Zhen Wenjun was being rude, he explained that Beixi people are different from you Central Plains people, we are warm and generous and not restrained like you.We are all friends, brothers and sisters.

Zhen Wenjun endured the desire to kill and did not really do it. After all, there is only a small town near the edge of the desert, Bixi, and everyone in the town recommended Aye.

Zhen Wenjun didn't quite believe that this unattractive and wretched little old man had really been to Liuhuo Country.With Qi En dead, there is no future ahead, and Zhen Wenjun has no choice but to find another way.She is full of doubts about Aye's character, but this is not the most important thing. If he really has the ability to bring them to the country of Liuhuo, it doesn't matter how wretched he is. I'm afraid he is a liar at all, because of her car belongings.Now I can't see the danger of Aye, but if he really wants to play tricks in the desert, there is really nothing he can do.

"This person will know once he tries it." Wei Tingxu gave Zhen Wenjun an idea and asked her to try it.

Zhen Wenjun took out the Wandao Compass and asked Aye where it would be suitable to sell it.Aye smiled as if he had seen through Zhen Wenjun, his eyes rolled around.

"Little lady, want to test me?" Aye clicked on the surface of the Wandao compass, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "This compass is a product of the Liuhuo country. It was popular decades ago, and then it was lost one after another. Yes. People who know the business know that it’s priceless and few can afford it, and those who don’t don’t want to give it away for free. Let me tell you, why do you little ladies have the guts to go to Bixi and say that you’re going to the Kingdom of Liuhuo? He holds the Wandao Compass in his hand. Hey, this is a treasure. After the Liuhuo Kingdom locked the country, they were afraid that people would find them with this thing, so they destroyed a large number of Wandao Compass. I haven’t seen this thing for many years. "

"Can Ah Weng read the words on the compass?"

"The outermost circle is the orientation."

"What about further inside?"

Aye grinned and didn't tell her.

Seeing that Aye is really knowledgeable, Zhen Wenjun said: "This thing is really worthless to us. Once it reaches the Liuhuo Kingdom, it will be a piece of waste. As long as Ah Weng can bring us to the destination, this thing will be given to Ah Weng. "

"Are you telling the truth?" Aye has been trying his best to suppress his rarity towards the Wandao Compass, but no matter how he suppresses this pair of eyes, he can't move away from the compass, wishing he could swallow it with his eyes.

"Of course it's true. If Ah Weng doesn't believe me, this compass will be placed by your side." Zhen Wenjun saw through his heartbeat and further seduced him.

Aye stretched out his hand to grab the compass, but when he saw Zhen Wenjun smiling strangely, he suddenly thought of something and shrank back.

"What?" Zhen Wenjun raised his eyebrows.

"It is said that you Central Plains people know magic and use poison. Who knows if there is any poison on it."

"Why did I poison you? How did we get to Liuhuo Country after poisoning you? What about your wife and children?"

Aye was startled suddenly: "How do you know about me..."

Zhen Wenjun smiled and said nothing, his smile was real.

Aye had no choice but to call her mean, but he could only help them prepare.

Not all of the attendants were taken away, but some of them were kept for preparation.For rescue when necessary, and to deter Aye.Wei Tingxu's method is really easy to use. It tested Aye's reality and at the same time made him obedient, so that he would not dare to cheat along the way.

When threatening Aye, Zhen Wenjun was able to achieve the best results without revealing his flaws. When he really threatened Aye's wife and children's lives to make him submit, Zhen Wenjun felt uneasy again.

She shouldn't have done it.

She knew that Wei Tingxu's investigation into Aye to find his weakness was just a threat and would not really hurt innocent women and children.But Zhen Wenjun still feels uneasy in his heart.

Zhen Wenjun feels that the current self is getting farther and farther away from the woman taught by her mother.

Although Aye is a little wretched, he still has some real skills.He can not only predict the incoming sandstorm, but also find a good way to go.

There were six camels in Beixi, and Zhen Wenjun bought them all for Wei Tingxu Axi and other weaker people to ride. Most of the others still had to drive or even walk.Aye helped them dismantle the wheels of the carriage and repair them again, and doubled the width of the wheels, which is more convenient for driving in the desert.

Aye said that these sand dunes look the same, but they are actually divided into virtual and real sides. If the sand is soft and deep on the virtual side, it will be very difficult to move forward and consume more energy.He led the way to the "windward slope".The windward slope is solid sand, step on it and walk steadily, saving effort.

After walking for four days, Aye's words and deeds have not been mixed with water. I don't know whether it is his nature or because he has been coerced.

On the fifth day, Aye said that he was about to enter the hinterland of the desert, and the weather changes would become more and more unreasonable. Once he fell ill, he might die here.

He is not alarmist.

Zhen Wenjun climbed up the hill and looked around. With a strong sense of direction, she no longer remembers the way she came here. In the rolling yellow sand, a gust of wind blowing at any time can blow away the traces of their walking.The southeast, northwest, or the sky and the ground look exactly the same.If you are stuck here, you will really go wrong.

Aye's mood was quite low, he ate some dry biscuits with water every day, slept on the camel, and didn't talk much to Zhen Wenjun and the others.

Zhen Wenjun wanted to reconcile with him, but after taking the initiative several times, he ignored him, and Zhen Wenjun gave up.

During dinner, Xiao Hua stirred the vegetable porridge in the iron pot, and suddenly saw a lizard crawling past her eyes, Xiao Hua immediately got up and chased after it.

Xiaohua is responsible for the rations of all the staff. She needs to figure out how much to eat and drink every day in order to survive the 49 days that Aye said.The environment in the desert is harsh, and Xiao Hua is worrying about less and less food, and this lizard appears at just the right time.

One more piece of meat is one piece.

Xiaohua is tall but moves very fast. When the lizard was about to get into the crevice of the rock, she caught it right in front of her.

"Danger!"

When Zhongji called for danger, Xiaohua hadn't realized where the danger was at all, and when a horned adder hiding in the dark bit her hand, she didn't withdraw her hand, but joyfully threw the horned adder and the horned adder together. The lizards were pulled out together.

Zhongji: "...this snake is poisonous."

Xiao Hua: "I am more poisonous than a snake."

Sure enough, the horned adder froze after moving for a while.Of course Zhong Ji understands that the ghost dove poison has already penetrated into Xiao Hua's blood, and now Xiao Hua is just a walking poison pot, and she can't even test the poison for Wei Tingxu, because there is no poison that can poison her to death.

This horned viper also had the bad luck of eight lifetimes.

Carrying the booty back to the pot, he cut off the snake's head with a single knife, and skillfully disemboweled the snake and lizard to take out their internal organs, leaving only edible meat.Put the cooked porridge into bowls and call everyone to eat.The attendants were listless one by one, weakly queuing up one by one to get the porridge.Put the porridge for Wei Tingxu with a lot of vegetables on the cloth behind him and cover it with a wooden lid, then Xiao Hua started to cook snake soup.

"Where were you when you were 16 years old?" Zhongji sat aside and asked.

Xiaohua: "..."

Ever since Ping An escaped from the sea, Zhongji, who revealed the biggest secret, has completely stopped covering it up, like a wronged soul who has been following the "murderer" Xiaohua all day long, and most of the time he doesn't speak, as long as Xiaohua has a moment of leisure Zhong Ji would then ask her about what happened when she was 16 years old.

Xiaohua was so annoyed, she casually said, "Beside the girl."

"Runing? Ping Cang? Or somewhere else?"

"Zhou You Quan Da Yu."

"There's always an exact location."

"Have."

"where?"

"forget."

Zhongji stopped talking, and his big eyes were full of disappointment, staring at the flames under the iron pot that swayed in the wind.

When the snake soup was ready, Xiao Hua brought it to Wei Tingxu, when Zhongji came back, he was still here, huddled into a small ball with his back to her.

"I really forgot." Xiaohua said.

Zhongji ignored her, took out the tent and set it up on his own, when Xiaohua was about to go to bed, Xiaohua opened the curtain and walked in.

Zhongji raised his upper body and looked at her for a while, and finally, facing Zhang Wannian's expressionless young and mature face, he pulled the blanket up to cover his chest.

"Don't think about it." Xiaohua said helplessly, "Today I lost a tent, and I didn't have enough sleep, so I had to come to your place for the night."

Falling asleep with their backs facing each other, the two of them were awakened by the vibration of the earth at the same time in the second morning.When he woke up, Zhongji's legs were on Xiaohua's lap, and Xiaohua was holding Zhongji's arm. The two woke up looked at each other, pushed each other away and quickly ran out of the tent to see what happened.

Zhen Wenjun, Wei Tingxu and others all walked out of the tent, and everyone discovered the vision of the earth trembling violently.

The yellow sand was shaken so that it flowed in all directions, and a kind of green flat round insect seemed to be unable to withstand the huge earthquake, and emerged from the yellow sand in pieces.Before they could figure out why, dust heads rose up in the distance, and the sky was mixed together, as if there were a herd of horses galloping.A flock of black birds circled above the dusthead.

Who is this?

Hearing Aye's yell, he was about to jump onto the camel and flee for his life, but was dragged off by Zhen Wenjun:

"What are you running for?"

"That's the demon of Kuerjianshi!" A tinge of green appeared on Aye's black face.

"What? A demon?"

"The devil who cuts people's hearts! The thug Krai in the desert! No one will survive if they meet them! Rooks are their guardian beasts. Look at the birds flying in the sky! You can't be wrong, it's them ! These green bugs! They are all messengers from the nine levels of purgatory in Kuer! As long as they appear, people will definitely die!" Aye didn't have time to talk to her anymore, he just wanted to escape for his life.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came?"

Aye climbed on the camel several times and Zhen Wenjun dragged him down several times.

Aye said angrily: "How did I know that you would recruit Krai? They have disappeared in Kuer for many years! I just brought people into the desert three years ago and spent half a year waiting for everyone to die. Appeared! I thought they were all dead as the legend said!"

"How could something that happened three years ago be called 'just now'?!"

"Do you think that there are many people like you who want to die in Shili, Kuerjian! I spent a lot of energy waiting for you to die! If it weren't for the value of your goods, I wouldn't come! What Liuhuo Kingdom! Let me go back!" Aye kicked Zhen Wenjun hard to push her away.

Zhen Wenjun finally heard the truth and was furious. This bastard really only wanted to murder for money!With one hand and one leg, he was patted on the sand like a toad, and cooperated tacitly with Zuo Kunda to tie up Aye.

"Heart-splitting demons, right? Let them cut your heart out first!" Zhen Wenjun tied him to the horse, whipped his horse's buttocks, and the horse took Aye to run towards the direction of the dusty head.Aye's mouth was stuffed with cloth, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was shaking on the horse, almost falling off several times.

Getting closer and closer to Krai's horse team, Aye saw the bird-head masks worn by the Krai's, and tears were about to burst out of his eyes.

It really is them!Really are!

Before the horse ran in front of Krai, Aye fainted from fright, his eyes turned white and he stood straight on the horse's back, with his face facing the sky, white foam gushing out from the gaps in the cloth, forming a line in the air.

Zhen Wenjun flew on Xiaoxue, and went to find out with Zuo Kunda.

"Mr. Wen." Wei Tingxu called out.

Zhen Wenjun looked back at her and smiled at her: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Xiaohua, you all hide behind the rock and don't come out until we come back."

Xiao Hua nodded, and immediately asked people to hide the camel and carriage.

Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda controlled the speed and used Aye as a cover, stretching their necks and looking ahead while riding.

There are more than 20 people in Krai.

All of them wore hideous bird-head masks, and the screeching sound of the white-billed birds could be heard far away.They rushed head-on at a rapid pace, as if they were chasing something.Zhen Wenjun took a closer look, and there was an ox cart right in front of Krai's horse herd.

bullock cart...

That's right, it's an ox cart. Zhen Wenjun blinked her sore eyes again, she was right.

A jeweled black ox cart slowly stepped on the yellow sand, pulling the cart forward step by step, and looked even more careless against the galloping horses.Its thick eyelashes are curly and delicate, and a golden nose ring is punched between the nostrils.The top of the bull's head is covered with a cherry pink cloth cover, and there are bright gemstones the size of a fingernail hanging from the four corners of the cloth cover.Every time the wind blows, the gem will shake from side to side, and the cow's nostrils will continue to breathe, and it seems to feel the majestic murderous aura behind it.Even so, the cow still couldn't run fast, and the cow's hooves tied with delicate red ribbons lifted and fell in slow motion in the hot yellow sand.

The cow's carriage is very spacious, with three groups of flames painted on the roof, which can accommodate four or five people. On the seat covered with crocodile skin, there is only one person, a woman.The woman was wearing a lake-blue tulle dress, her long hair was coiled into a gold-rimmed soft hat, her mouth and nose were also surrounded by a thick veil, only her blue eyes and a small Cut off the tall mountain roots.Whether it is the ox, the cart or the people on the cart, they are all very luxurious, and it can be seen at a glance that she is either rich or noble.

Zhen Wenjun wondered, how could such a woman appear in the hinterland of the desert for nothing?

Compared with Niu's calmness, the woman looked back frequently in anxiety, making sure that the gangster behind her was getting closer to her, but she was reluctant to beat the Niu so that the Niu could run faster.

Krai, who was on the horse, smiled strangely, drooling at the woman.Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda exchanged glances, and the two took out swords and long knives on the left and right, and charged at Krai.

Who else in this world can be compared with the Chongjin people?After the unforgettable battle with the Chongjin people, Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda have nothing to fear.

Krai took the fat sheep out of the slow-moving ox cart, threw her from the front of the herd to the back, and then threw her back.The woman was so frightened that Huarong turned pale and couldn't help screaming, but these people kept making fun of it.Until two groups of black shadows pierced into the horse herd.

These two people came very fast, and before they could see their appearance, several horses fell to their knees, causing several horses behind them to fall together.

The woman was about to fall to the ground, Zhen Wenjun turned his horse and charged, grabbed her by the back of the vest, pulled her onto the horse, and threw her behind him.

"Bow your head! Hold tight!" Zhen Wenjun yelled, and the woman immediately lowered her head obediently and hid her face, hugging Zhen Wenjun's waist tightly.

Two horses came to meet her, waving the machetes in their hands and shouting loudly. The rooks gathered their wings and prepared to attack, and stabbed Zhen Wenjun with their sharp beaks like rows of sharp arrows.

Zhen Wenjun drove forward without any fear in the flying snow in the cloud, and when the two sides were close to each other, Zhen Wenjun's figure flickered and lightly dodged the two oncoming machetes. The opponent's horse's neck had already been cut with two big bloody mouths.The horse was injured and ran around, and the rook took advantage of Zhen Wenjun's unpreparedness to peck her eyeballs away. Zhen Wenjun raised his right arm to resist, and the iron wrist guard easily blocked the corner of the white beak. in the sand.

There were still many rooks chasing after Zhen Wenjun and frantically pecking at her back shoulders. Zhen Wenjun burst into tears in pain, but it was difficult to cut with a sword in this position, and if he was not careful, he would accidentally injure the woman behind him.Fortunately, Zuo Kunda arrived in time and killed all the rooks with a few strokes.

Krai pursued closely, Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda led them into a stone forest, forcing their horses to form a column and could only go forward one by one.Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda ambush on both sides of the stone forest, chopping horseshoes.Krai chased too fiercely, and found that it was too late to stop in the middle of the timer, and finally they were all folded in the stone forest.

The stone forest is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the rooks are not easy to be attacked by air, so they can only circle in the sky anxiously.

Both Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda were injured and bleeding profusely, and they planned to bandage the wounds before rushing out to fight the rook.

"Are you okay?" Zhen Wenjun was about to be strangled by the woman behind him, straightened up and took a deep breath, "You can let me go."

The woman let out a low cry, let go of her hand immediately, and almost fell off the horse.

Zhen Wenjun had no choice but to help her again, took off the mouth mask that blocked the sand and tied it around her neck to stop the bleeding from the wound on the back of her neck.

Seeing Zhen Wenjun's beautiful and handsome side face, the woman let out an "ah" and exclaimed something nonsense, which Zhen Wenjun didn't understand.She said another sentence, obviously in another language, and Zhen Wenjun still didn't understand it until she said the big words:

"You, are you a woman?"

How rare... Zhen Wenjun wondered: "I don't look like a woman anymore?"

Zuo Kunda tried his best to hold back his laughter, but the woman's veil fell loosely, she was shocked and quickly pulled up the veil to protect her face tightly.

Seeing her blushing like a monkey's ass, Zhen Wenjun asked her, "Who are you? Why are you here alone?"

The woman whispered shyly, "My name is Meng Dahan, and my home is in the desert."

"Meng Da Khan? The person who came up with this name must have no sense." Zhen Wenjun saw that this little lady has such an irresponsible name, which is similar to the name "Little Flower".

"Your home is in the desert?" Zuo Kunda didn't quite believe it, "Who would live in such a place?"

"Really, it will take two days to walk there!" Meng Dahan raised his voice to prove that he was not lying.It's just that her voice is delicate, no matter how hard she speaks, she is extremely soft and has no prestige.

"Can you speak Da Yu's language?" Zhen Wenjun grasped the point, "Are you from Da Yu?"

"Dayu? What is that? I have learned many languages ​​since I was a child, and the one I speak now is called 'Beidi language'."

"Bei Di? Our Da Yu has become Bei Di!"

Zhen Wenjun didn't speak too loudly, but he frightened the woman so much that she didn't dare to speak.Zhen Wenjun was very interested in where she came from, and hurriedly asked in a soft tone:

"You said you were in the middle of the desert. It's so strange. Who would live in such an unlucky place." Zhen Wenjun suddenly thought, "Could it be?"

Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda looked at each other, their faces changed at the same time, they all thought of it.

"The Kingdom of Flowing Fire." Mengda Khan said, "I am the king of the Country of Flowing Fire."

Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda couldn't believe it: "The king of Liuhuo Kingdom? You?!"

They didn't expect that when Empress Da Yu came to the throne, a woman would be in power at the end of Liuhuo Kingdom.

Wei Tingxu was worried about Zhen Wenjun's safety, so he and Xiaohua led others to the vicinity of the stone forest after the rooks in the sky.Xiaohua and others shot all the rooks and entered the stone forest.

"Women rule? It has always been in power before." Mengda Khan explained, "But when I came here, all my sisters died for various reasons, and only I was left... The ministers insisted on forcing me to become the throne, but I can govern The country has always been a woman's business! How could I do it?" Meng Dahan's eyes were full of tears when he said this.

"Wait a minute." Zhen Wenjun was a little dizzy from being surrounded by her, "The Liuhuo Kingdom has always been ruled by a woman? Then you will have no problem becoming the throne. Could it be that..."

Meng Dahan's skirt was getting looser and looser. Zuo Kunda wanted to remind him before he had time, but when the skirt was completely loosened, Zuo Kunda turned around quickly. Fortunately, he was not rude.

Meng Dahan pulled back his clothes in a panic, his face was blood red: "What happened today? The veil was taken off and the clothes were opened, could it be..." Meng Dahan looked up at Zhen Wenjun shyly, "Is this all God's will?"

Although it was only for a moment, Zhen Wenjun saw it clearly.

Meng Dahan didn't wear heart clothes, and his flat chest was not so much developed as it was a man's chest.

man……

man?

Zhen Wenjun was almost scared off.

"If a man in our Liuhuo country is seen by a woman, he must marry her." Meng Dahan hugged Zhen Wenjun holding back his shame. Here’s a way for you. Originally, a man’s reputation as a king would be unfair, so it’s just a matter of time, you come to be this king and rule the Liuhuo Kingdom.”

Zhen Wenjun had a hundred soaring questions stuck in her throat and didn't know which one to say, but Wei Tingxu helped her decide:

"It's really a heavenly fate to meet a good couple. Wenjun, you agreed to him quickly."
