Chu Huan still doesn't know which sentence of this vixen-like woman is true and which sentence is false. Maybe there is no truth in the first place, but Chu Huan always feels that this woman knows something. It is naturally a great thing to know some useful things from your mouth.

Chu Huan just looked at her and didn't speak, he was waiting for her to continue.

Seeing Chu Huan staring at her, Meiniang put a finger on her red lips and said softly, "What are you doing looking at him like this? What bad idea are you thinking?"

Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "It is indeed a bad idea. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will arrest you."

"Catch me?" Meiniang winked and looked forward: "Catch me for what? Afraid that I will run away and never see me again, tie me by your side?"

Chu Huan said helplessly: "It's almost dawn, what do you know, tell me quickly."

Only then did Liu Meiniang giggle, and said softly, "Master Chu, have you ever found out about the camel travelers when you hired them?"

"The details?"

"Of course." Liu Meiniang whispered: "Did you know that Ma Zhengyi once saved the sand bandits, and the sand bandits are grateful to him?"

Chu Huan was taken aback. He really didn't know about this matter, so he frowned and asked, "How do you know that he saved the sand bandits?"

"Hey, you look smart, but you are a fool." Liu Meiniang sighed quietly: "Luoyan Town is not monolithic, if you spend more money, there will still be many people willing to open their mouths. If you give enough money, you will Know something that no one else knows."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Meiniang has lived in Luoyan town for a few days, and when she is bored, she likes to talk to someone." Liu Meiniang looked at Chu Huan, smiled charmingly, and said softly: "But don't get me wrong, Meiniang doesn't like to talk to anyone except you. Only you, Mei Niang, are willing to chat with the men of yours...!"

"Speak seriously." Chu Huan said angrily.

Liu Meiniang said coquettishly: "Isn't he always talking about serious things? How can he not be serious?" Seeing that Chu Huan's face was not good, he continued: "Ma Zhengyi was walking in the desert back then, and met two bandits in the desert. Huo Bing, the two groups fought all the way, leaving behind a lot of corpses, Ma Zhengyi saw that one of them was seriously injured, but did not die, maybe he felt compassion and saved that person."

Chu Huan just listened quietly without speaking.

Liu Meiniang continued: "At first, Ma Zhengyi had forgotten about it, but several years later, a few people came to Luoyan Town and made a special trip to visit Ma Zhengyi, and they brought generous gifts. The people in Luoyan Town didn't know who they were at first. What is the origin, but for three consecutive years, these people went to Luoyan Town to visit Ma Zhengyi, and there was no trace until the fourth year...!"

Chu Huan couldn't help but frowned and said, "He's going to Luoyan Town. Is it the sand bandit that Ma Zhengyi saved?"

Liu Meiniang smiled sweetly and said: "If you can't even guess this, you are a big fool."

"I'm an official of the court, don't use nicknames." Chu Huan said dissatisfiedly, "I'm asking you now, you have to answer seriously, don't smile!"

Liu Meiniang pouted, but still said: "Actually, until now, not everyone in Luoyan Town knows about this. But there is no impenetrable wall, and there are always some well-informed people in Luoyan Town, and Meiniang just happened to meet them." Without them, Meiniang wants to go to the desert, so she wants to hire camel customers, at first she thought about Ma family camel customers, but after inquiring about this matter, she gave up on this idea and found Qiu family camel customers.”

Chu Huan said: "You mean that Ma Zhengyi colluded with sand bandits?"

"That's not certain." Liu Meiniang said: "The sand bandit Ma Zhengyi rescued was called Tuhu. When he escaped from death, the leader of that sand bandit was killed in the fire, and Tu Hu was killed. Rescued by Ma Zhengyi, after surviving, he finally became the leader of that group of sand bandits. I heard that there are seven or eight bands of sand bandits in the Jingulan Desert, and Tuhu sand bandits are a very powerful one, with hundreds of them. People and horses."

Chu Huan was thoughtful, thinking to himself, could it be that the person Ma Zhengyi went to see tonight was really a Sand Bandit?

Seeing that Chu Huan was thinking about something, Liu Meiniang leaned close to Chu Huan's ear, exhaled like a blue, and said, "Don't even think about it, if the camel passengers in Luoyan Town really have nothing to do with the sand bandits, why would the sand bandits let them go?" Exchanges? Sand bandits may not be as capable as camel travelers, but they are not inferior in number.”

Chu Huan said calmly, "Is this what you want to tell me?"

Liu Meiniang said: "Do you think that Meiniang just told you that Ma Zhengyi was in collusion with Sand Bandits?" She sighed softly, "You fool, Meiniang wants to tell you that if the person Ma Zhengyi wants to meet tonight is really a Sand Bandit, then he Who was killed is not important, what is important is that the sand bandits have appeared next to us, maybe there are already sand bandits secretly watching our movements, waiting for the opportunity to attack us!"

Chu Huan's heart was also tense, Liu Meiniang's words were not unreasonable, if Ma Zhengyi went to see the sand bandits tonight, then there is no doubt that the sand bandits already knew the route of the mission team, and they might show up at any time. This also means that the mission has fallen into a more dangerous situation.

After a moment of silence, Chu Huan finally got up and said, "Go and rest, you can sleep for more than an hour."

Liu Meiniang got up and asked, "Where are you going to sleep?"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Where else? Your own tent."

"It's so cold inside the tent." Liu Meiniang said coquettishly, "Lying there alone, it's cold and lonely, and I can't sleep...!" Liu raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked softly, "My lord, you are alone sleep, isn't it cold?"

Chu Huan's scalp tightened, and he said coldly, "Since you dare to enter the desert, you deserve to freeze to death."

Liu Meiniang stomped her feet and said angrily, "You have no heart, you are crossing the river, demolishing bridges, dismantling mills and killing donkeys, if I knew it, I wouldn't have told you about it." She added: "This is the news they bought with money."

Chu Huan ignored him, and left. Looking at Chu Huan's back, Mei Niang's eyes showed resentment.

Before dawn the next day, the Ma family camels had already escorted Ma Zhengyi's body on the road. It had been three days in the desert, and it would take several days to return. All the guests were in a state of despondency, Ma Xiulian followed and sent a few miles away, she only wanted to find the wolf boy and find out the cause of the matter, and she had already returned to the team before the brigade pulled up.

They walked like this for another day, but when it was dark, Qiu Yinghao didn't want the team to stop when it was supposed to be camped, but continued to move forward.

Seeing this, Xue Huai'an ordered Chu Huan to inquire. Chu Huan got on his horse and chased after him, asking why he didn't stop to rest, but Qiu Yinghao said solemnly, "Uncle Chu, not only can't you rest today, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest tomorrow night either."

Chu Huan was very surprised, and Qiu Yinghao had already explained: "Uncle Chu, the place we are entering now is called the eye of the wind, and it is the most prone to sandstorms. If we can't get out of this desert in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Sandstorm?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "What a coincidence?"

Qiu Yinghao said: "Ten times in the desert, five times we will encounter sandstorms. There is no avoiding this section of the road, let's go out as soon as possible."

"Master Qiu, everyone is exhausted. If we go on like this, we may not be able to hold on." Chu Huan worried, "Can you bypass this section of the road?"

Qiu Yinghao thought for a while, and said, "Uncle Chu, we can't rest tonight. If we hurry tonight, we can take a rest during the day tomorrow. If we bypass this section of road, there is no other way. To tell you the truth, Even now, I don’t know where the sandstorm will appear, this section of the road, every place may suddenly roll up.”

Seeing Qiu Yinghao's solemn expression, Chu Huan nodded slightly, and went back to inform Xue Huai'an of the situation. Xue Huai'an kept changing horses, but he was able to hold on for a while, but the other civil servants shouted one after another, saying that they could not continue walking. The soldiers of the guards also showed resistance, and Xuanyuan Sheng said angrily: "Master Deputy Ambassador, are these camel riders trying to drag us down? We were traveling during the day and couldn't rest for half an hour. Now we have to go to bed at night." Hurry up, this will make people live."

There was an uproar here, but Qiu Yinghao sent a camel passenger to say: "Everyone, if you don't pass through this area in time, it will be too late when the sandstorm comes. Master Qiu said, these two days everyone No matter what, I have to grit my teeth and stand up, go through this desert, avoid the eye of the wind, and the head of the family will let everyone have a good rest!"

The man didn't say much, he left after leaving this sentence.

The civil servants were all complaining, and although the soldiers were dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak out. Chu Huan ordered Xuanyuan Shengcai to appease the soldiers, while he persuaded the civil servants.

In the evening, they continued to walk under the moonlight, and the embassy group complained incessantly. In fact, their speed slowed down greatly. When walking under the scorching sun on the second day, many people vomited, and some people couldn't hold on anymore and fell dizzy to the ground. On the ground, being supported by his companions, the majestic wind that Xiong Jiu walked out of the Luo'an capital in high spirits has long since disappeared without a trace.

Chu Huan frowned, but he didn't give any order. When most people were exhausted, perhaps even the camel riders couldn't hold on, Qiu Yinghao finally sent a message to let everyone rest for a while.

Many people heard that they could rest, so they lay down on the hot sand, even though the sand scalded their skin, they were unwilling to get up, not only the people, but also the horses were listless, obviously exhausted.

Xuanyuan Sheng was sweating profusely, and he didn't care about the rules. He insisted on pouring half a bag of water, and then he came to Chu Huan's side and said, "Vice Minister Chu, if you go on like this, brothers really can't hold on. This is only half the way. I haven't walked through it yet. I'm exhausted at this time. How can I go on the road ahead? Some people are already sick, and their eyes are cold in the [-]-day scorching heat. Day and night alternate, and no one can hold on!"

Chu Huan was also sweating profusely, and his skin was tanned and darkened just after entering the desert for a few days. He took a sip of water and said, "Before entering the desert, we have already made an agreement with the camel travelers that the itinerary on the road will be arranged by them. Naturally, we can’t go back on our promises. Moreover, sandstorms will come at any time, if we can’t cross this desert as soon as possible, and if we encounter a sandstorm, the consequences will be disastrous.”

Xuanyuan Sheng just looked around, the sand was golden and dazzling under the scorching sun, boundless, he frowned and said, "Master Deputy Envoy, can the camel passengers really see that there will be a sandstorm coming? Is the sandstorm really that terrifying?"

Chu Huan said: "If you do one thing, you know one thing. The people in the fields can know when it will rain just by looking at the sky, but how can ordinary people know it? It's like General Xuanyuan practicing arrows, how do you know?" Whether their archery is good or bad, ordinary people can't see the flaws in archery. These camels live on the desert, so they know the desert very well. We are surrounded by sand, so we don't know where we are. , but the camel travelers know where we are, and they can also tell if a sandstorm is coming!"

"The meaning of the camel guest is that the sandstorm seems to be terrifying!"

"Even camel travelers are afraid of sandstorms, so that's not easy." Chu Huan patted Xuanyuan Shengcai on the shoulder, forced a smile, and said, "General Xuanyuan, we are now marching and fighting, or it is more difficult than fighting on the battlefield. Cruel, no matter what, we must break through this hurdle!"
