Chapter 197
No wonder there is a smell of corpses, and it is thanks to these people who figured it out: such a mass grave that ordinary people avoid and fear, allowing them to serve as the tunnel exit can indeed protect everyone's safety to the maximum extent.

The shadow guard pulled out a few horses that had been prepared earlier from the nearby woods. The horses' hoofs were wrapped with cloth to prevent loud noises.

The Wuyun Treading Snow that Ye Zhen rode before was among them, obviously, the shadow guards had already prepared for it.

"go!"

At the same time as Lu Chengze got on the horse, Ye Zhen also got on the horse familiarly.A group of people hit horses and galloped away.

After walking only two miles, a horse came head-on, also with its hooves wrapped in cloth. Seeing Ye Zhen's party from a distance, it started to slow down, and Lu Chengze waved his hand to stop.

The one who came on horseback was also a shadow guard, and he came over and reported in a low voice: "In the canyon back to Longyou ahead, there is an army ambushing. It seems that the king of Xiliang guessed that we are going there."

Lu Chengze said: "I can't go there, change the direction."

Without saying a word, everyone turned around and walked in another direction. There was no one stopping them, but this way, they gradually entered the desert!

Lu Chengze and the others did not stop, but went straight towards the center of the desert!

Ye Zhen is also a person who has received training. Seeing the direction of the crowd, they were heading northeast. She couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

At this time, the army that the king of Xiliang came to intercept and kill was already far away, and Lu Chengze was not afraid of being exposed, so he explained: "We can't go directly from Xiliang to Longyou, we have to go to the outside of the Great Wall, and then return to Longyou from outside the Great Wall." right."

Beyond the Great Wall?grassland?
Ye Zhen can understand it tactically, but in this way, it will be a lot of hard work, and walking in the desert requires drinking water and food.

These people left in a hurry, did they bring enough water and food?
Ye Zhen couldn't help taking stock in her own space: Although she brought a lot of food and water, she couldn't hold back the crowd!With so many people, that little water can't last for a few days...

Before she could think any more, a horse came galloping from behind, rushing to report: "Boss, their people are catching up!"

Ye Zhen was not surprised: the people from the King of Xiliang couldn't wait there, so she would naturally think differently, wondering if they ran from another direction.

"Speed ​​up and enter the desert!" Lu Chengze ordered in a low voice.

Everyone rode their horses and galloped to the depths of the desert.

When the Xiliang King's army chased to the edge of the desert, there was only one set of footprints that had been almost buried by the wind and sand.

"General, what should we do? These people have entered the desert, are they still chasing them?" asked one of the tracking men.

The middle-aged man named General looked at the sky and smiled: "What are you chasing after? The wind is about to blow, and they entered the Ghost Shadow Desert. Do you think they can come out? Just let them sink in!" "

When everyone heard this, they all nodded: There is a lot of wind and sand in the Ghost Shadow Desert, and people who enter it can easily get lost. If there is a big sandstorm, people can be buried directly, even if they have great skills, it won't work.The locals rarely go in here, let alone those who are soldiers.

"It's just a pity that the thing the king said...hasn't been found yet!" One of the lieutenants sighed, a little unwilling.

"Do you think that thing will definitely fall into their hands? That's not necessarily the case! Don't look at the Loulan princess who is so violent in front of our king, as if she is fascinated by the king. My lord! Otherwise, how could it be possible to keep that thing for such a long time? I was cheated away by someone long ago!"

After everyone thought about it, it was indeed the case, so they stopped chasing after them even more, turned around and went back to report without mentioning it.

Yes, that thing was indeed not on Ye Zhen and Lu Chengze's body, but was handed over to the shadow guards to follow the instructions.

The eldest elder of the Loulan clan, who was only in his fifties, had a huge hooked nose. Ever since he was captured by Lu Chengze's shadow guards and trapped in this underground dark room, he witnessed with his own eyes that the few remaining members of his clan died one by one. In front of him, he still sticks to his bottom line.

In order to recover Loulan, everything is worth it!
The Great Elder encouraged himself over and over again, so that he would not forget the belief and mission in his heart, and refused to reveal the whereabouts of Loulan's secret treasure no matter what.

But when a masked man entered the unknown underground darkroom, said a few words to the person who extorted the confession these days, and handed over a bag, the man who frowned and extorted the confession laughed, and then He came over with the bag: "Guess, if you don't tell us about that place, will others tell us?"

"Impossible! Apart from me and the princess, no one else will know!" the Great Elder shouted resolutely.

Everyone who knows is dead!Only he and the princess know.

That secret treasure is the hope of Loulan's restoration of the country, and the princess will not say it, she has already escaped with that secret!
As long as the secret is still there, I have value, and they will not kill me. As long as I have the secret of that secret treasure, I will find a way to escape from this place one day!

But the man who forced the confession suddenly came over, without saying anything, raised something in his hand, and presented it in front of the elder: "Look at what this is?"

The Great Elder took a closer look, his chest suddenly hurt sharply, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. Before fainting, he yelled: "This is impossible!"

How...how did they find the princess?

How could the princess tell the location of the secret treasure?
It is even more impossible for the princess to hand over the key to the secret treasure...

These people... these people... But these people are obviously holding the secret treasure key that the princess never leaves her body...

That is the hope of Loulan's restoration of the country...

The hope was shattered, the Great Elder seemed to have been drained of energy, and his whole body fell down, only to hear the man who forced the confession say calmly: "Kill it, it's useless."

Yes, it's useless!All efforts were in vain, the survivors of Loulan were all dead, and now the key to the secret treasure has been obtained, so it is useless to say anything...

Without people and money, Loulan's hope of restoring the country is completely gone...

At the last moment of his life, the Great Elder of the Loulan Survivor looked at the dark room and suddenly had some doubts: What is the point of all these years of hard work?
On the first day in the desert, everyone was perfectly fine: everyone had some water and food with them, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Early the next morning, some shadow guards bought a few camels from a village outside the desert, and replaced some lackeys.

However, in the morning of the next day, just as the Xiliang general who was chasing him said, the sandstorm really came!

In front of nature, the power of human beings is really insignificant, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is useless!
