The voice came from the tent of the mission. Chu Huan rushed to the scene of the incident as fast as he could, and shouted sharply while running: "Everyone keep their positions, don't mess up!"

The sound came from a tent where the civil servants were staying. When Chu Huan arrived, he saw a lot of people gathered outside the tent. Seeing Chu Huan's arrival, someone said, "Deputy Ambassador Chu, something happened to Mr. Wen!"

Chu Huan opened the tent and entered, and saw that there were three or four people inside, but there was a civil servant lying on the ground, who was foaming at the mouth, and was convulsing on the ground at the moment, and the people beside him were startled and frightened, helpless.

"What happened?" Chu Huan was a little surprised when he saw this.

One person panicked and said, "My lord deputy envoy, I am sharing a tent with Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen had rested early, but just now I heard a strange sound from his side. When I looked over, I found that he was foaming at the mouth. , twitching all over...!"

At this moment, a few more people came in from outside the tent, Xue Huai'an entered first, seeing this scene, he was surprised and said: "What's going on? He...how did he become like this?"

Mr. Wen's convulsions have subsided at this time, but the white foam is still coming out of his mouth. At first glance, it looks like he has been poisoned.

Chu Huan squatted beside him, stretched out his hand and rolled over Master Wen Wen's eyelids, and found that his eyes were dim, and he frowned. Suddenly, he discovered a fatal problem. Although the number of the mission was over 300, But there was no doctor to come.

"Uncle Chu, is there something wrong here?" Another person came in, but it was Qiu Yinghao, a camel traveler. Seeing Mr. Wen lying on the ground, Qiu Yinghao frowned, and quickly came up, without saying a word, took off the waistband. With the water bag, he stretched out his hand to pinch Master Wen's mouth, and forcefully poured a few sips of water into his mouth. Master Wen coughed and his body trembled violently. Qiu Yinghao immediately raised his hand again, and punched Master Wen twice in the chest. , Wen Da's mouth suddenly spewed a few mouthfuls of water with foam, still in a trance, but soon, the whole person quieted down and stopped moving.

Qiu Yinghao stood up, and Chu Huan immediately asked, "Master Qiu, this is?"

"He can't go anymore." Qiu Yinghao said solemnly: "Uncle Chu, before entering the desert, I said that some of you may not be able to make it. You have just entered the desert, and this lord is already dying." .”

"I can't do it anymore?" Xue Huai'an changed color: "Could it be...!"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Yinghao had already shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there is no life-threatening danger yet." After a pause, he slowly said: "It's too hot during the day, and too cold at night. As long as the body is weaker, it will be unable to withstand it immediately. This adult is very weak, if he continues to walk, I am afraid that he will really lose his life in the desert."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Is it so serious?"

Qiu Yinghao said: "Uncle Chu, to put it bluntly, I am afraid that this lord has never suffered such hardships before. Although delicacies from mountains and seas and silks and satins are a good life, there are too many good lives. It's hard to get used to."

Mr. Wen has delicate skin and tender flesh, obviously he has not treated himself badly before he went on an envoy, but he just entered the desert today and immediately couldn't bear it.

Xue Huai'an asked urgently, "Then what should we do now?"

"Someone send him back." Qiu Yinghao put the water bag on his waist, "Otherwise he will die in the desert before he leaves the desert."

Xue Huai'an hesitated, "Send him back?"

"Just entered the desert, the journey is not far away, but there is still time." Qiu Yinghao said: "When he wakes up, send a few people to take him back, and now rest in Luoyan Town for a few days."

Xue Huai'an looked at Chu Huan, Chu Huan pondered for a while, and finally said: "Master Xue, it seems that Master Wen is really dying, arrange some people to send him back!"

Xue Huai'an felt helpless and shook his head. He even thought that Mr. Wen was himself at this moment. If he returned now, he would wish for nothing.

When Chu Huan got out of the tent, Xuanyuan Shengcai had already rushed over. Chu Huan then discussed with Xuanyuan Shengcai, asking him to call out a few soldiers and turn around and return as soon as Master Wen woke up.

After this incident, all the members of the mission felt a little terrified. They had just entered the desert, and Mr. Wen lost his life because of the unsuitability of the climate. Fortunately, he found out in time, and now there is time to turn around. But if they go deep into the desert, there will be other When this happens to a person, it is too late to even look back.

Mr. Wen woke up just before dawn, and Xuanyuan Sheng arranged for five soldiers to escort Mr. Wen back. Looking at the figures of several people leaving, Xue Huai'an and other civil servants all hoped that Mr. Wen was himself.

The tents were put away, and the team moved on.

Because of what happened the first day, the entire mission has been mentally prepared, knowing what the scorching heat in the desert will be like.

This day is still a scorching sun shining on the desert, and the desert is roasting the team. The heat seems to be worse than the previous day. Some people can't bear it, and they drink water to quench their thirst. , must be strictly controlled, not free to drink.

Although Chu Huan is not very familiar with the desert, but one day he is very clear that in the desert, nothing is as important as water. Although the team carried a lot of clear water, how long would it take to cross the desert? , That is something that no one knows. If you start to drink in large quantities at this moment and do not control it, you may face the danger of water shortage before you get out of the desert.

In such a hot desert, as long as there is a lack of water for one day, people will be exhausted. If there is a lack of water for two days, many people may not be able to persevere.

In the vast desert, no matter where you look, there is yellow sand all over the sky.

Soon, many people developed a kind of visual fatigue and became distracted. They walked through a sand dune, followed by another sand dune. The whole team was like a drop in the ocean in the vast desert, unremarkable. Everyone feels their own insignificance, and in the scorching heat, there is always a feeling of being impenetrable.

Under the scorching sun, even the strong soldiers of the Guards felt dizzy. The first two days were fine, but when they walked in the desert on the third day, many people felt that their legs seemed to be filled with lead. Normally, every step is very heavy, and the soft sandy ground consumes more physical strength of everyone.

On the third day, Xue Huai'an really couldn't hold on, so he called Chu Huan and discussed in private, no matter what, he couldn't walk, so he could only ride a horse.

Chu Huan could also tell that Xue Huai'an didn't want to be special. He was able to last for three days, which was already at his limit.

Xue Huai'an was the official envoy, if he couldn't leave, the whole envoy couldn't leave either. Chu Huan called Xuanyuan Shengcai, discussed it, and finally let Xue Huai'an go on horseback.

In fact, Shui Yong couldn't hold on any longer.

When he was resting and eating dry food at noon that day, he finally came to Liu Meiniang's side, and asked weakly, "Miss Liu, are you... are you sure there is really someone in that carriage?"

After three days, Liu Meiniang was already very tired, and she was not in the mood to flirt, she just asked: "Brother Shui, if there is no one inside, why do you think they are willing to use two camels to pull that carriage?"

Shui Yong sat beside Liu Meiniang with open chest, and said, "Miss Liu, do we still have to follow? When will we do it?"

Liu Meiniang looked at the team of the mission, there were so many people there, she sighed quietly: "Brother Shui, isn't Meiniang worrying about this too? Look at how many of them there are, if we do it lightly, not only will we not be able to save them... People, I’m afraid even we will be involved.” Through the black veil, staring at Shui Yong, “You’ve worked hard on this journey, Brother Shui, are you unable to hold on any longer?”

Shui Yong saw Liu Meiniang looking at him with wonderful eyes, how could he admit that he was going to back down, shook his head and said: "Miss Liu, don't worry, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will follow you down."

Liu Meiniang finally gave a charming smile, and said softly: "Brother Shui, you just reminded me that there is someone in this carriage for sure, but... but I am a little confused about whether they are my relatives or not!"

"Ah?" Shui Yong was taken aback. If it were someone else, he would have lost his face at this moment. He didn't even know the goal, so he followed all the way hard, but he couldn't lose his temper to Liu Meiniang, and said helplessly: "Liu Meiniang Girl, what should we do then? If it’s really not your relatives, wouldn’t we have come in vain?”

"It would be great if we could see who is inside." Liu Meiniang sighed softly, "It's a pity that the carriage is so guarded, we have no way to get close to it!"

Shui Yong clenched his fist, but stopped talking.

Liu Meiniang said softly: "Brother Shui, what do you want to say?"

Shui Yong said: "Miss Liu, do you think those soldiers can get close to the carriage?"

"What does Brother Shui mean?"

"Can you spend some money to buy a soldier?" Shui Yong whispered, "Let him approach and help us find out who is inside? They are all a group of people, as long as we can buy someone, we should be able to Do you know who is in the carriage?"

Liu Meiniang pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "This is too risky. If the bribe is not successful, it will expose our purpose."

Shui Yong said helplessly: "From this point of view, we still have to wait."

"We can only wait." Liu Meiniang smiled softly, "But as soon as we have a chance, we will take action immediately. Brother Shui, Meiniang has a plan and wants to discuss it with you, do you think it will work?"

Shui Yong hurriedly said: "Miss Liu, what plan?"

Liu Meiniang leaned close to Shui Yong's ear, exhaled like blue, and whispered something.

Shui Yong and Liu Meiniang were talking in a low voice, but Qiu Yinghao was standing on a sand dune, looking at a group of Ma's camel guests. The Ma's camel guests formed a circle and were eating dry food. He has never had the slightest contact with the mission and the camels of the Qiu family, so he is like a stranger.

Qiu Yinghao looked at Ma Zhengyi, who was sitting on the sand, thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he finally approached, and everyone from the Ma family camels looked at him. Qiu Yinghao smiled and cupped his hands, Ma Zhengyi said: "Brother, can I take a step to speak?"

Ma Zhengyi put down his dry food, got up, walked not far away, Qiu Yinghao followed, Ma Xiulian stood up, looked over from a distance, saw Qiu Yinghao seemed to be talking, Ma Zhengyi was holding his hands behind his back, motionless, then The two people on the side were talking, but no one knew exactly what they were talking about.

After a while, I saw Qiu Yinghao cupped his hands, turned and left, Ma Zhengyi stood there with his hands behind his back, and then came back slowly, Ma Xiulian immediately asked: "Father, what did he say?"

Ma Zhengyi ignored it, picked up the unfinished dry food, and thought about it.
