Chapter 270 Bad luck
"My lord, this oasis is not a place to stay forever."

"We should take advantage of the war between Xiliang and Yunchui, and go south as soon as possible. It would be better to occupy a piece of land in the prairie as soon as possible. At that time, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend..."

"No rush." ​​Duke Langston shrunk his swollen belly.

This oasis has beautiful scenery, with water and trees, fertile beasts, and a warmer spring-like climate, and no enemies have disturbed it yet...

He looked around, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was.

They are all determined to let their subordinates choose a place beside this oasis to build a duke's mansion.

It's a pity that they fled too hastily and didn't bring many craftsmen with them.

The matter of repairing the duke's mansion had to be discussed in the long term.

Ah!
At this moment, a shrill scream came from nowhere.

The staff's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the sound.

"Lord Duke, listen!" His mother-in-law said inwardly, "This place is really not as safe as you imagined."

The moment they stepped here, the staff carefully questioned several leaders of the caravan.

The oasis in front of me looks vibrant and peaceful on the surface, but the name of the Desert of No Return is not for nothing.

The dangers inside are countless.

"Isn't it just some poisonous insects and scorpions?" Grand Duke Langston waved his big hairy hands nonchalantly: "Let the doctor go and have a look."

"But……"

But too many people have been bitten by scorpions, poisonous snakes and even sand wolves, and the medicines we brought are almost used up.

However, just as the staff was about to speak, they were interrupted impatiently by Grand Duke Langston.

"Don't worry about it." He said: "Didn't there be news a few days ago that there is a mysterious and tyrannical team on the southern grassland?"

"The Duke will never leave here until they are found out and dealt with."

"Instead of rambling here when you have time, you might as well go to the south to see the specific situation."

After speaking, Grand Duke Langston picked up the fishing rod and came to the lake humming a song.

Ren Ning on the tree could see it clearly.

He had learned lip language, but Naihe didn't understand Beixiong, so he didn't know what the two were talking about.

Touched his chin.

It seems that after going back this time, I will find an opportunity to learn this language.

Seeing that Duke Langston and his party were still far away from the lake at their feet, Ren Ning continued to look north.

Soon, he was taken aback!
The sky in the north turned gray at some point, and Goldfinger suddenly changed color.

Red value 5!

Ren Ning took another look.

The red value rose slightly to 6!

Sandstorm!
And it is attacking towards the Pearl Oasis or the south.

Ren Ning put down the binoculars, took a careful visual inspection, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The scale of this sandstorm is not small, covering the entire northern sky; but the distance is still far away, and it seems that it should not be able to reach our eyes within ten days.

That being the case, he didn't care, he raised his binoculars and continued to observe the situation ahead.

The red nose caught at the beginning really deserved to die.

The troops brought by the Duke of Langston did not have 5 people at all.

Ren Ning glanced at the number of tents.

Its number is at most just over [-], and there are about [-] unarmed slaves.

But soon he frowned.

Perhaps it was because Beixiong was physically strong, and the opponent's lance and shield were longer and larger than those used by Yunchui.

The only good news is that the surrounding countries, including Xiliang and Beixiong, have far less metallurgical technology and pig iron quantity than Yunchui.

Therefore, the elite of Duke Langston wore leather armor.

Although the lance in his hand was long, most of it was just a long wooden pole, only the tip was covered with a gleaming spear head.

The same is true for the shield, only a layer of cowhide is covered on the wooden shield.

Ren Ning observed their bows and arrows again, then hurriedly climbed down the tree pole, and then got into the lake.

The lake is very deep, and there are dense weeds growing on the shore.Ren Ning hid inside, without worrying about being discovered.

The Grand Duke Langston led fifty guards through the woods, and was about to reach the edge of the lake with blue waves.

"My lord, please wait a moment." The chief guard stood up, "You three teams, go and check around carefully."

"Be serious. If something happens to the Duke, you can't afford it."

Some slaves came to fetch water before, but they were bitten to death by wild beasts lying in ambush by the lake, and were finally eaten clean by wolves.

He didn't dare to be careless at all.

"Yes!" The three captains took the order.

A team hurried to the lake.

The other two teams searched separately, one left and one right.Some people are picking up the grass, while others are kicking hard on the trees in front of them.

what!what!
Not long after, someone screamed, "My eyes... there are poisonous insects in the tree, please help me."

Ren Ning who was underwater could hear clearly, but he didn't know what the other party was yelling, so he had to give up.

"What are you yelling about?" The captain was very annoyed.

He kicked the jumping guy hard a few times, "It's just that the sand on the tree fell down and blinded the eyes. What's your name?"

The others laughed.

"Come on." Grand Duke Langston said angrily, "I am here to fish. You are cutting grass and kicking trees, scaring the fish away."

I'm still fishing.

"Your Excellency..." The head of the guard had a troubled expression on his face.

He pricked up his ears and listened.

It was quiet all around, and there seemed to be no animals at all.

Only then did he hesitate for a moment and get out of the way.

Most of the ten guards who had searched to the lakeside just glanced briefly and gave up.

thump!
One unlucky ghost slipped his foot and fell into the lake.

"Help me. I can't swim." He yelled in terror.

The others couldn't help being dumbfounded.

The Principality of Langston is located in the north of the Desert of No Return.There are no big rivers in the territory, and few of them can swim.

"Unlucky!" Grand Duke Langston cursed, almost wanting to smash the unlucky little guard to death in the water with a fishing rod.

In the end, he shook his head and found a place to fish more than fifty feet away.

Fuck!
He was depressed, and Ren Ning in the water was even more depressed.

Originally, I wanted to see if there was a way to kill Duke Langston silently, but this hapless ghost got in the way.

The tree can kill the opponent with one arrow, but the vast sea of ​​sand around him is unobstructed.There is no need to lose yourself or chase the wind.

Ren Ning dived over.

Since you are unlucky to come down, don't go up.

Others just change places after a few random glances, but you have to pull your long neck and dig through the grass to observe carefully...

Serious guards are good guards, so be sure to kill them.

"Help... help... underwater..."

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

The little guard was still floating and sinking.Ren Ning pulled at the bottom, and he suddenly became more and more ups and downs.

Worse!

The ten members of the whole team were all landlubbers, and they all walked around in a hurry, but they didn't see anything unusual at all.

"Grab my gun." Finally, someone remembered the weapon in his hand, and quickly stretched out the long gun.

It's just that he was afraid of disturbing the Duke over there, so he didn't dare to shout loudly.

He didn't know whether the unlucky ghost in the water was about to lose consciousness or the voices of the people on the shore were too quiet. He kept clapping his hands in confusion, but he couldn't grab the weapon.

The person on the shore hopped his feet in a hurry and moved forward involuntarily.

result,

With a plop, he too fell.

"Help!"

……

Not long after, the two drank enough water and floated on the water one after the other.

"Unlucky!" Grand Duke Langston angrily threw the fishing rod into the water, turned and left.
