"There is a legend in Liangzhou that there is a mysterious dark mountain in the deep mountains of the Gobi Desert. In the mountains live gods in black. They control the weather in the desert and the life and death of business travelers." Liao Wenqing explained.

"I've never heard of anyone who can control the weather in the desert. It's probably because they have the ability to predict the weather. Isn't this description of sand robbers who are in charge of the life and death of merchants traveling in the desert? Now even sand robbers put money on themselves Claiming to be a god? What's wrong with the world!" Ye Mingfei drew out the light sword with a "swipe", "The sand bandits are vicious, and there is no one to kill, everyone be careful."

"They may not be malicious, it's better to wait and see what happens." Liao Wenqing said hastily.

"Walking in the desert, how can you comfort yourself by thinking that there may be no malice?" Ye Mingfei frowned, feeling dissatisfied.

Liao Wenqing was about to argue, when the leading man in black waved his hand, and a clear spring suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Water, general, water!" A clear spring suddenly appeared in the desert with a wave of hands, it was really miraculous.

Liao Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that they didn't have any malicious intentions. Our drinking water has been damaged. Why don't you drink water to recharge your spirits before going back to meet the army!"

The soldiers shouted wildly and were about to step forward to receive water, Ye Mingfei raised her light sword and stopped the soldiers behind her: "Wait a minute!"

"Miss Xiaoye?" Liao Wenqing's tone was displeased.

"Just now everyone said that the gods in black often kill merchants in the desert. Why are they so kind to give us water now? Are you not afraid that they will play tricks in the water?" Ye Mingfei looked at the man in black and said loudly, "You guys Drink water first to keep hydrated."

"Miss Xiaoye, they are gods!" Liao Wenqing hurriedly said, "The gods must not be offended!"

"Are you the king in black?" Ye Mingfei pointed at the man in black.

"I am the Paladin of Kun under the Uranus Throne in black."

"Paladin Kun, could there be eight paladins under the throne of Uranus in black? Forget it, it doesn't matter how many there are. I want to say sorry first, Your Excellency Paladin, I don't believe in God!" Ye Mingfei took two steps forward. He provocatively said to those men in black, "If the envoy is not convinced, you might as well show off your supernatural powers, so that my children can learn a lot, and maybe they will believe in God."

"Ignorant child, how dare you disrespect the king in black and the paladin!" shouted the woman behind the paladin Kun.

These people were dressed strangely, if Ye Mingfei hadn't experienced a lot, he would have found it extremely weird.The style of their black clothes is somewhat similar to the styles introduced from the West in the later dynasties, with bronze masks on their faces, showing no appearance.

"Could it be that you are also a paladin?" Ye Mingfei pointed her light sword at the woman who spoke, "Is this disrespect? If you don't drink water, I will be even more disrespectful. Now you scoop up the spring water and take a sip each to prove that the water is not Problem. Otherwise, I will treat you as sand bandits and wipe them out."

"Miss Xiaoye!" Liao Wenqing shouted.

Ye Mingfei stretched out her right hand: "I have a token bestowed by His Majesty, Lieutenant General Liao, now you must listen to me."

Liao Wenqing was startled, looked at Ye Mingfei and then at the man in black, undecided.

Ye Mingfei ignored Liao Wenqing, staring at the group of men in black and said: "I'll count to three, if you don't want to, don't blame me for being rude! One, two—"

The Paladin Kun waved his hand suddenly, and the man in black behind him stepped forward and took a sip of the spring water: "Is it all right now?"

Ye Mingfei stepped forward, suddenly cut the epee, and stabbed at the clear spring, the sword energy blasted the sand, revealing the pipe buried under the "clear spring": "So this is a supernatural technique? Heh~"

This "heh" is full of irony!

"You—" the man in black was furious.

"I told you, all of you are the ones who drink the spring water." Ye Mingfei pointed at the drinkers, "If you are really gods who are kind enough to give water, and I provoke you like this, shouldn't the gods be angry? Just point a pawn to drink water and submit to my orders." The request is more and more suspicious, isn't it?"

"Are you kidding me? Haha~" Paladin Kun sneered for a while when he heard the words, "It's really a toast, don't eat fine wine, do it!"

A long knife stabbed him from behind, but Ye Mingfei seemed to have been prepared for it, she flipped in the air to avoid the long knife, kicked Liao Wenqing with the knife and flew out, shouted violently: "Liao Wenqing is in collusion with the sand bandits, let's take it down for now, the rest People against enemies!"

The fifty soldiers originally obeyed Liao Wenqing's orders, but when they came, Fang Zhe confessed that they were looking for the way together with Ye Mingfei.Ye Mingfei is the granddaughter of Di Guolao, holding the token bestowed by His Majesty, she is a trustworthy person.And just now, the soldiers stood behind and saw clearly Liao Wenqing's attempt to sneak attack on Ye Mingfei, and some clever people stepped forward to escort the injured Liao Wenqing.

The paladin of Kun waved his hand, and the man in black rushed forward, killing him in an instant. Ye Mingfei fought against him, and immediately realized that something was wrong: "The enemy is powerful, retreat!"

The number of men in black was about the same as them, but the paladins were highly skilled in martial arts. Once they fought, Ye Mingfei would be fine. The fifty soldiers could only give away their heads.For the current plan, it is best to retreat, as long as you return to the army, the villains will never dare to face the two thousand armored army.

The soldiers knew that Liao Wenqing was with the gangsters, so they turned to Ye Mingfei.Immediately, Liao Wenqing was charged, retreated the same way, Ye Mingfei broke the back with the sword.However, she was useless in the end, and soldiers fell down from time to time along the way.Ye Mingfei was also ruthless, and she drew her sword swiftly, also killing several pursuers.

On the way, Ye Mingfei sent out a signal for help, and led a group of soldiers to fight and retreat, but met Zeng Tai on the way.It turned out that Zeng Tai was not at ease after sending people into the desert to mark the official road, and personally brought a large team of yamen servants to pick up the army.Seeing Zeng Tai, the two sides did not rush to explain, and joined forces tacitly, and the men in black quickly retreated after seeing this.

"Xiao Fei, don't chase after poor bandits, the most urgent thing is to find Fang Zhe's army and send the money back to Liangzhou."

"Yes, Uncle Zeng!"

They put the wounded on their horses, led by Ye Mingfei, and joined Fang Zhe's army.On the way, it is inevitable to talk to Zeng Tai about these sand robbers who claim to be gods in black.

Zeng Tai then told her about the calamity of the black-clothed heavenly king in Liangzhou. He arrived in Liangzhou not long ago, and he has not yet penetrated into the villages and towns under the city of Liangzhou.However, even if he didn't go deep into the subordinate villages and towns, he heard a lot about the gods in black.The former governor of Liangzhou once ordered the people not to worship the king in black, but he repeatedly prohibited it.

Zeng Taiyuan planned to find out the inside story of the black-clothed god and deal with it, but encountered this big earthquake.

"I didn't expect these people to be so bold and reckless that they dared to attack the imperial court's armored army. After this incident, it is necessary to wipe out these villains, and the people under the control of Baoliang Prefecture and the merchants traveling to and from the Ganliang Desert." Zeng Tai made a vow.

Seeing Fang Zhe, Ye Mingfei reported to him that Liao Wenqing lured them into the trap of the men in black, and suspected that the serious loss of food and water for the army might be Liao Wenqing's intentional design.

After Fang Zhe checked with the soldiers who explored the road, he couldn't help being afraid for a while.If it wasn't for Ye Mingfei who got a reminder on the way, he might have run out of water when he encountered a black sandstorm.At this time, if Liao Wenqing led the army into the trap of the black-clothed god, Fang Zhe and the Iron Armored Army would not be suspicious at all under the hunger and thirst.

In this way, the [-] Iron Armored Army might be buried, and millions of salaries would fall into the hands of the villains.It's fine for them to die. Losing their salary is a felony. Not only does the family have no pension, but they are afraid that they will be implicated.

Fang Zhe didn't dare to delay any longer, Zeng Tai led the way, and the army continued to move forward, escorting the money to Liangzhou City before dark.The Iron Armored Army knew that Liao Wenqing was going to betray them to the vicious king in black, and they all hated them.Thinking of checking the king in black, this Liao Wenqing still has someone else, in order to prevent him from being beaten to death by the soldiers, Ye Mingfei discussed with Fang Zhe and handed him over to Zeng Tai's yamen guards for escort.

Fang Zhe hated Liao Wenqing's betrayal very much, but he also knew that the black-clothed king's plan to seize the salary was serious. The "God in Black" came and went without a trace, since Liao Wenqing was one of them, it was a breakthrough.The governor's office of Liangzhou is obviously better at solving cases than Zuo Longwuwei, and the most urgent task of Zuolongwuwei is to escort the salary.

"Xiaofei, you and Ruyan are really my lucky stars! If you hadn't been with the army, if this million-dollar salary and armored army had an accident in the Ganliang Desert, I would have been miserable!" Taking Fang Zhe and others into the city Here, stationed in the prepared camp, thinking of what happened today, Zeng Tai was also afraid for a while.

"Oh, Master Zeng should thank Uncle very well!" Ruyan smiled, "If Uncle hadn't made a detour to Liangzhou to visit you when he returned to Bingzhou, Ming Fei and I would not have left Ganliang to catch up with him. desert."

"I just received a letter from my teacher this morning. I didn't expect you and Xiao Fei to arrive in Liangzhou first."

"Grandpa must have visited the people all the way again. In order to catch up with Grandpa and the others, my aunt and I rushed on the road without stopping, so we were one step ahead of them. According to their itinerary, it should be here in a few days."

Whether it was Zeng Tai trying to appease the people for the earthquake, or Ye Mingfei and Ruyan walking in the desert all day, after experiencing this thrilling day, everyone chose to rest early.

In the early morning of the second day, Zeng Tai sent someone to hurry up and send a message that General Feng Yang, the right leopard Tao Wei, would come to fetch the money, and he also reported that he would investigate the matter of the black-clothed god.

Although the black-clothed heavenly king failed in his attempt to seize the salary, if some villains dared to attack the officers and soldiers, it would be tantamount to conspiracy. Fang Zhe would definitely report this matter to the court afterwards.When the incident happened in Liangzhou, Zeng Tai was guilty of negligence.But when he reported it in time, the emperor could see that he had handled it well.

Moreover, the common people worship the Heavenly King in Black repeatedly, and the investigation of the Heavenly King in Black may cause some civil disturbances.If this matter is reported in advance, it will be dealt with in the future. Since the emperor knows the danger of the black king, he will not feel that the local officials have improperly governed and caused civil unrest.

In the evening, Zeng Tai was slightly free, so he took the time to talk with Ye Mingfei and Ruyan in the courtyard for a while.Just at this time, someone came to report that a guest had come.

Seeing the post, Zeng Tai was both surprised and delighted: "The teacher and General Li have finally arrived."

Ye Mingfei and Ruyan were busy with Zeng Tai and went to the door to greet them. Everyone was happy to meet again after a long absence.
