Charming Dragon Emperor: Abandoned concubine, please respect yourself!

Chapter 457 An Extraordinary Night

In the scorching sun, the three major hermit families gathered a team of about fifty or sixty people, each with a camel, walking slowly between the sand dunes, like a long thin line.

For some reason, Qin Luoyan always felt that there was a vague gaze falling on her body, but every time she went to search for the source of that gaze, she couldn't find any trace.

The wind blew up, bringing dust and dust, she wrapped a silk scarf around her mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of black eyes, inadvertently, she glanced back, the previous sight still couldn't find a trace, but saw At the end of the line, on an old and skinny camel, the old man was hunched over, as if he was tired, but he was crouching on the camel's back.

Her heart trembled, and she couldn't help calling out to the person next to her, "Xiaolong."

Xiaolong rode a camel closer and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Go and see that old man, don't let him fall off the camel's back." Qin Luoyan frowned, and even himself was a little surprised by what he said.

Xiaolong was also taken aback, there seemed to be something in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, he only responded and rode his camel to the end of the line.

Qin Luoyan glanced at it from a distance, and saw that Xiaolong woke up the old man, and the old man glanced in his direction, so he breathed a sigh of relief and looked away.

However, when she withdrew her gaze and turned her head, she didn't see it. There was clearly more than gratitude in the old man's eyes.

As we approached the treasure land of Gengjin's source, the atmosphere in the team obviously became depressed. The heads of the three major families who were talking happily at the beginning also had a more dignified expression, and everyone seemed to be planning something.

At dusk, the group finally saw the mountains in the distance. In the desert, such mountains are almost miraculous. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have thought that there would be such a large oasis in the desert? And also formed mountains.

"Although it looks quite close, it is estimated that there is still half a day's journey away. If it is already dark today, I think we should set up camp here and set off for the mountain tomorrow." Rong Ye walked in the front and looked around. After the terrain said.

"My opinion is the same as that of Master Rong. It is too dangerous to go into the mountains at night. And you can see those weird small sand dunes in the distance. The color of the sand is also a little different from other places. It should be those people in the town who are well-versed in mining the outskirts. Gengjin's place." Ling Shu also said.

After his guidance, everyone really saw the abnormality of those small sand dunes. If those are the places where Gengjin was mined, then the underground structure is also very complicated. If there are dark pits, it will be very dangerous to walk at night. Falling into a dark pit, no matter how high the martial arts are, there may be no possibility of surviving.

Li Yunshan nodded slightly, agreeing with the opinions of the other two.

The heads of the three major families had already formed a unified opinion, and naturally no one refuted it, so everyone got off their camels and started to set up tents.

With Xiaolong's support, Qin Luoyan jumped off the camel, and helped Niwan down together. In this team, the three of them are considered guests, so it's not their turn to do things like hands-on work, and they can find He found a clean place next to him and sat down.

The old man who was in charge of roasting the whole lamb also got off the camel, but today there is no roasted whole lamb, only some shriveled lamb legs and the like, but his craftsmanship seems to be good, although the dried lamb legs are processed by his hands , still wafting out a gurgling fragrance.

Qin Luoyan suddenly thanked Rong Ye a little, at least it was the most sensible choice to invite this old man who can cook to the team. Compared with eating dry food, it is obvious that this kind of life is already a lot more extravagant.

Because the final destination will be reached tomorrow, this night seems a bit heavy. After a hasty dinner, everyone went back to their tents to rest. If you observe, it is not difficult to find that in every family, there will always be one or two people who shuttle between the tents.

With a slight smile on the corner of Qin Luoyan's mouth, he sat in front of his tent and turned to ask the little dragon next to him, "From the perspective of scouts, what do you think they are doing?"

Xiaolong didn't expect her to ask such a question suddenly, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Miss is really sharp-eyed, you can see it."

Qin Luoyan smiled lightly, but did not speak, she waited for him to speak.

"That's right, those people who shuttle between the tents seem to be doing different things on the surface, such as borrowing fire, delivering some water, taking a blanket, etc. Although the people who shuttle each time They are all different, but I think their message must be the same." Xiaolong explained in a low voice.

"Send the message?" Qin Luoyan blinked, but the expression on her face did not change at all. She thought for a while and said: "It seems that the three major families have come to prepare in advance, but they don't know that they will really enter Geng tomorrow. How many people are left at the source of the gold treasure?"

Xiaolong nodded, "Girl, you are really smarter than I imagined. Girl, you should go to rest quickly, tomorrow will definitely not be peaceful, tonight... I will guard the door of the hood."

Qin Luoyan was not polite to him either. After all, this is an extraordinary period, and she can't guarantee that this night will be safe. She doesn't know martial arts, and Niwan is considered useless now, so if something really happens, they have to do it themselves. Security is still very troublesome, and there is an extra layer of security with Xiaolong guarding.

"Then it's hard work for you." Qin Luoyan said politely.

"It's not hard, I should." Xiaolong didn't dare to bow at all. In his heart, protecting Qin Luoyan would always be his mission.

After Qin Luoyan nodded at him, she entered the tent. In the tent, Niwan's eyes were wide open, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

I don't know if it's Qin Luoyan's illusion. In the past two days, she always felt that the way Niwan looked at her was a bit strange. Several times, she even saw Niwan's lips move, but when she waited for what Niwan would say, When it was time, Ni Wan turned her head away again, but she didn't say anything after all.

At night, there was indeed some unrest.

Early the next morning, when Qin Luoyan walked out of the tent, he saw Rong Ye directing a few people to clean up the blood stains beside the tents.

Seeing Xiaolong coming from that direction, she asked, "What happened last night?"

Xiaolong frowned and said, "A few wild wolves came to look for food last night and bit a few people."

"Wild wolves?" Qin Luoyan was full of surprise. The people from the three major hermit families who came this time were all masters of martial arts, and there should be no harm to them if there were only a few wild wolves.
