Chapter 652: Suspicious Points on Jin Banhua
Chu Liuxiang looked at Jin Banhua, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Ji Bingyan watched coldly and suddenly asked, "If that's the case, why did you come to the Great Desert?"

"Of course it's because Black Pearl interfered!" Jin Banhua said unhappily, "They were all planning to go back to the capital with me, but Black Pearl invited them to the desert, so they came!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Liuxiang laughed.

It was obvious that Su Rongrong and the other two girls were not interested in Jin Banhua.

But Chu Liuxiang couldn't laugh anymore because they followed Black Pearl to the desert.

Could it be that they have their eyes on Black Pearl?

Chu Liuxiang thought about Black Pearl's always cold face and bad temper, and found it hard to imagine that the gentle and wise Su Rongrong, the calm and determined Li Hongxiu, and the cute and lively Song Tianer would fall in love with him.

But there is always good news, that is, Chu Liuxiang finally realized that it was not Black Pearl who kidnapped the three women, but the three women came forward on their own initiative.

"I was wondering why everything was fine on the ship." Chu Liuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "I see."

Ji Bingyan frowned and asked, "Why did Black Pearl leave that note?"

"Of course it's to attract Chu Liuxiang to the Great Desert!" Jin Banhua said, "If Su Rongrong left a letter saying that they followed Black Pearl to the Great Desert to play, would Chu Liuxiang rush over?"

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but touch his nose and smile bitterly, "But there's no need for them to scare me!"

Jin Banhua smiled and said, "Because they want to come, anyway, you are riding Black Pearl's horse, so you will be able to see them soon."

"Why?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"Because that is Black Pearl's pearl colt, very famous, everyone knows it. Not only does it know the way home, but the nomadic people in the desert will also deliver food and water along the way. If you ride that horse, you will be able to see them in three to five days." Jin Banhua said seriously.

Chu Liuxiang was stunned, and Ji Bingyan stood there in a daze.

Hu Tiehua was also confused and couldn't help but take another sip of wine. "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that all our hard work is in vain?"

Jin Banhua looked at the three people who looked exhausted and asked with a smile, "What bad things did you encounter on the road? Tell me so that I can...broaden my horizons?"

Hearing this, even Hu Tiehua started to scratch his nose.

There’s nothing else to it, I just don’t want to say it, it’s too embarrassing!
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, revealing the beautiful face of Princess Pipa. "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"

Jin Banhua smiled and said, "We are talking about some people who think too much and end up making things worse."

Princess Pipa was confused, but Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly and asked quickly, "Brother Jin, can you take me to find them?"

"Not yet."

"why?"

"Of course it's because I got paid to stay here for a few more days."

Jin Banhua took Princess Pipa's hand and said, "If you are not in a hurry, why don't you stay here for a few days? When things here are settled, I will take you to find them."

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "I guess it's useless even if I worry."

"That's right!" Jin Banhua said with a smile, "If I don't make you anxious, how can I be worthy of my white jade beauty?"

……

After watching Jin Banhua and Princess Pipa leave, Chu Liuxiang and the other two fell into silence for a moment.

Ji Bingyan asked Chu Liuxiang, "How much do you think what he said is true?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tiehua shouted, "I think what he said is quite true. This kid has a good temper and personality, and he speaks the truth. What's more, what he said is consistent with what the old bug said!"

Ji Bingyan glanced at Hu Tiehua and said, "I think you are being flattered to no end. The King of Kucha obviously has no connection with the Black Pearl. Aren't you surprised that he is being treated as a distinguished guest here, and even the princess is with him?"

"What's so strange about this?" Hu Tiehua said confidently, "Because the King of Kucha is hospitable, don't you see that we are also treated as honored guests?"

Ji Bingyan rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to Hu Tiehua anymore.

Chu Liuxiang pondered and said, "I have checked carefully, and there are indeed no signs of a fight on the ship. I thought that Black Pearl deceived Rongrong's trust and then attacked her suddenly, but what Jin Banhua said is indeed a possibility." "So it is possible that Black Pearl has no ill intentions towards you? It was just a joke?" Ji Bingyan asked.

"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any..." Chu Liuxiang frowned, "But now there is a new problem."

"What's the problem?" Ji Bingyan asked.

"Stone Guanyin." Chu Liuxiang said in a broken voice.

"What do you mean?" Hu Tiehua asked, "Isn't Shi Guanyin dealing with us? Why is Shi Guanyin involved again?"

"Jin Banhua was originally with Black Pearl and the others, but she suddenly appeared in the camp of the King of Kucha." Chu Liuxiang said, "We were originally here to look for Black Pearl, but we were ambushed by Shi Guanyin and ended up in the camp of the King of Kucha."

Hu Tiehua asked, "Does this matter?"

"Stone Guanyin wants to seize the Star of Bliss, but the Star of Bliss is a treasure that the King of Kucha hired the Five Tigers of the Peng Family to escort." Chu Liuxiang said.

Ji Bingyan asked, "How did you know?"

"Just now, the guard whispered in the King of Kucha's ear, and I heard the words Peng Yihu and the Star of Bliss." Chu Liuxiang said, "In this way, Shi Guanyin is also connected to the King of Kucha."

Chu Liuxiang frowned, "Stone Guanyin... Star of Bliss... King of Kucha, this is a line. If what Jin Banhua said is true, there should be no black pearls in this line."

Ji Bingyan said, "But Jin Banhua suddenly appeared here."

Chu Liuxiang nodded, "So this line has added Golden Flower and Black Pearl."

Hu Tiehua said blankly, "Didn't Jin Banhua say that he heard about this from Black Pearl, so he came to join in the fun?"

"Do you believe it?" Ji Bingyan sneered, "Besides, Jin Banhua is just a playboy from the capital. How could he be treated as a distinguished guest here and be flattered by those Central Plains martial artists?"

Hu Tiehua blinked, "Because of the black pearl?"

"I don't know." Ji Bingyan shook her head, "But things are definitely not as simple as he said."

"So what do you want to do?" Hu Tiehua asked.

Ji Bingyan shook her head and said, "In my opinion, we should have left early, because this place is obviously full of troubles."

"What's the trouble?" Hu Tiehua asked.

"As the ruler of a country, the King of Kucha, why doesn't he stay in his own city of Kucha? Instead, why does he come to this remote place with no human habitation for hundreds of miles around and try hard to win over martial arts masters?" Ji Bingyan asked.

"Yes, why?" Hu Tiehua asked.

"Because he encountered a rebellion." Chu Liuxiang said, "Only a martial arts master can protect him and help him regain the throne."

Chu Liuxiang told Jin Banhua what he had learned from his previous conversation.

"I see. This is indeed a troublesome place." Ji Bingyan sighed. "I really want to leave right away."

Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly and sighed, "But whether we want to find Shi Guanyin who plotted against us, or want Jin Banhua to take us to find the black pearl, we can't leave now."

"Isn't this great?" Hu Tiehua said, "The King of Kucha is very hospitable and doesn't put on airs. We are being treated so kindly by him, so why not help him?"

"Didn't you see that Jin Banhua was also ready to help? Are you worse than a Beijing playboy?" Hu Tiehua asked.

Ji Bingyan was so angry that she was speechless. "I got a princess, what did you get?"

Hu Tiehua raised the leather bag in his hand and said, "I got a pot of good wine!"

"Besides, Shi Guanyin plotted against us, and we were going to deal with Shi Guanyin anyway. Since the enemy of the King of Kucha is also Shi Guanyin, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?" Hu Tiehua said as a matter of course.

This time Ji Bingyan was really speechless, so he could only sigh, "If Shi Guanyin really wants to cause trouble for King Qiuci, he must have sent people to infiltrate here. We have to be careful in private."

Hu Tiehua laughed and said, "The most powerful Du Huan is only this good. Aren't they the ones we should be careful of?"
