When the Fourteen and others made a detour and rushed to a county town south of the Surrendered City, the Ma sisters had already been waiting here for two days and one night.

After the two sides met, they walked south together, and when they arrived in Toyosu, Kannai Road, the Ma sisters stayed and started to prepare for the opening of a new racecourse.

Eldest Sun Jingxu wants to go back to Shendu, Mei Xingzhi wants to go back to Huangliang, and Fourteenth wants to take Xiao Yan to Longyou Road Beiting Duhu Mansion to sign.

Xiang Mai naturally wanted to go with them. When we parted, Mei Xingzhi said, "You'd better go back to Huangliang early. There will definitely be scars on your arms this time. The longer the scars are formed, the harder it will be to get rid of."

The implication is to let her return to Huangliang for treatment as soon as possible.

But Xiang Mai is not particularly worried: "Fortunately, it is on the arms, not on the face. In the birthday gift that Zhixue gave A Yan last time, there was your ancestral scar-removing ointment. I will wipe it on immediately after I go back."

"..." Mei Xingzhi heard this for the first time.

……

At the end of May, I came to Beiting Duhu Mansion.

On the way here, Xiao Yan and Xiang Mai saw the desert scenery for the first time.

The sky was clear, the sun was scorching like fire, and everything around seemed to be coated with golden light.The soft yellow sand has no trace of impurities. The two of them completely freed themselves from their instincts and took off their shoes to step on the sand.

Fourteen purposely put a bad thought into not reminding them, and when the two of them stepped on the yellow sand, they immediately jumped up screaming.

The temperature of the sand dunes at noon can boil raw eggs!

"I once heard a scholar say that there is an ancient country buried under the yellow sand here." In the inn, Xiang Mai was lying on the window, looking into the distance, watching the fiery red sun buried in the yellow sand bit by bit, "Said yes The people of that country offended the gods and were condemned, and a huge storm rolled up the yellow sand that covered the sky and buried the whole country directly below."

"Do you say it's true or false?"

"Shocked by the scene here?" If not, she would not suddenly feel nostalgic for the past.

"Yeah, there are too many people in the Central Plains, and it's too lively. Only after coming here can I feel the real tranquility, and I feel that people are really small." Xiang Mai turned around, "This city is so close to the desert, will there suddenly be When a gust of wind blows from the sky, will this city disappear?"

"It's not easy to encounter the kind of wind you mentioned." Fourteen tied up his hair, "If it really comes, it can't be changed by manpower."

"Can't you accompany me to sigh for a while?" Xiang Mai rolled his eyes, "It's not interesting."

"It's not for you to have fun." Fourteen looked at the clothes on his body, dug out another set of darker colors from the bag, and began to change.

"Yo yo, you are really becoming more and more unscrupulous now, you can blurt out such words."

"What did I say?"

"It's fun." Xiang Mai asked back, "It's not for me, but who is it for?"

Fourteen looked as usual, took off his robe neatly, and put on a new one: "A Yan and I are going out tonight, you stay in the inn and wait for us. The security here is not as good as in Huangliang County, especially at night. , don’t run around alone.”

"Where are you going?" Xiang Mai just remembered that she still doesn't know what Fourteen came here for.

"Go get a treasure." Fourteen said nonchalantly, "A priceless treasure."

"Are you still missing a baby?"

"Do you think there is too much money?"

Xiang Mai shook his head: "That won't happen."

"Then... how do you get it?" She looked at Shisi's posture, why did she have an ominous premonition, "Isn't it going to steal it!"

……

Shisi and Xiao Yan came out of the inn in the evening, inquired as they walked, and found out the location of Jiedushi's mansion.

"Did it say where it is?" Fourteen asked, "Or does it just need to enter the Jiedushi's mansion?"

"No." Xiao Yan shook his head, "It only said it was the Jiedu Ambassador's Mansion, but didn't say where it was."

Well, then we can only go in first and then talk.

The two of them came to the vicinity of Jiedushi's mansion and waited until it was dark before starting to act.

This place is different from the Central Plains. The Jiedushi's mansion is heavily guarded. After nightfall, there are several teams of patrolling soldiers holding torches to patrol outside the mansion, let alone inside.

The two jumped off a three-foot-high wall and landed in a narrow alleyway.

"Is there any movement?" Fourteen asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yan shook his head.

"Let's go." Fourteen took his hand and resigned, "Tell me when something happens."

So next, the two began to wander around the huge mansion.Of course, there are more patrols inside than outside, and they are all regular troops wearing armor and holding knives.

Shisi took Xiao Yan to play hide-and-seek with them. They walked around for more than an hour, but neither received a response from the system nor finished the tour of the mansion.

This is the real emperor, the scale of this Jiedu envoy's mansion is equivalent to a small palace.

After walking for a long time, watching the stars in the sky gradually disappear, it will be dawn soon.

But the system still didn't respond at all.

More than Shisi felt like being tricked, Xiao Yan also asked directly: "Where is the sign-in location? You can't let my mother and I walk every corner of this mansion."

His answer was no answer.

"... Pretending not to hear, are you?" Xiao Yan was sure that it could hear its inner voice.

The system answered him with actions: I was just pretending not to hear.

"Go on." After resting in a safe corner for a while, Fourteen said to Xiao Yan, "I'm here, let's talk when I can't stay."

……

When the darkest hour passes, it is dawn.

Seeing that there was still a ray of light before the sky appeared, the two decided to end today's trip - come again next time!
With a good sense of direction, they judged how to get out the fastest, and then chose a direction to evacuate.

Just two steps away, the long-lost electronic speaker is gone.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in!"

"Mother!" Xiao Yan pulled Fourteen back.

"Due to special reasons, the original reward for the third sign-in is invalid. So there is no reward for this sign-in. Please look forward to the fourth sign-in."

"Successful?" Fourteen asked.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, the electronic voice sounded again: "But in order to comfort the host, he traveled thousands of miles to come to the third check-in location to sign in. The system will provide the host with an extra condolence item for the sake of humanity, please accept it."

"What condolences?" Xiao Yan asked it.

"The host please place both hands flat on the chest."

"What to do?" Xiao Yan asked and followed suit, "Is that so?"

Suddenly, I felt a weight in my palm.

"Mother." He turned to Fourteen with something that appeared in his hands out of nowhere.

"Who's there?" It was the patrolman. "Stop!"

……

He joked with Xiang Mai that he wanted to be a gentleman, but he didn't expect to be treated like a thief.

The mother and son ran for their lives while being speechless, and it was hard to say that they were not embarrassed.

But what they don't know at this time is that the joke that they want to come to get the "treasure" has also become true!
