The Crazy Concubine: The Evil King Dotes on the Heavens

Chapter 124 Journey to the Northern Desert Kingdom

Fortunately, these few people have all experienced big winds and waves, and they can be regarded as suffering.Otherwise, in this vast desert, I am afraid that it has already collapsed.

In this way, the four of them used the compass to travel during the day and found a shelter to rest at night.After walking for four days, a bucket of water was drunk, and the four still did not find the desert city.

Now, even Gu Nianwei had to suspect that the people sent by Zuo An had really failed to find the target.

On the fifth day, the spirits of the four of them were a little sleepy.

The last bucket of water, only half a bucket left.

These days, in the desert, even if a few people are exposed to the wind and sun, they never think of washing with the water in the bucket.They all know that in the desert, every drop of water is a treasure.

It's just that if they still can't find the desert city after drinking half of the bucket of water, maybe the situation they have to face will be very bad.

During this time, the three men, Shao Siya, Gong Muyun and Du Ling, were trying to reduce the frequency of drinking water as much as possible. Even Gu Nianwei would only take a sip of water when he couldn't help it. It's no longer that kind of very bold cow drink, but just take a sip and moisten your lips and throat.

It was she who proposed to look for the medicinal materials. If the medicinal materials were not found and the people who followed her suffered misfortune, then, I'm afraid, she would be restless for the rest of her life.

On the sixth day, they encountered a tornado in the desert.

The remaining half bucket of water was overturned in the desert by the tornado, and instantly seeped into the long yellow sand.

Gu Nianwei, who was blinded by the wind and sand, just clung tightly to Gong Muyun's arms, letting the strong wind mess up her hair and blow up her skirt.

A few camels were swept away by the sudden tornado, and their life and death were unknown. Even the luggage carried by the camels was blown away together.

The four people who survived the catastrophe, in the vast desert, looked at each other speechlessly.

Without camels and water, their situation seems to be even worse.Fortunately, Gu Nianwei was holding a compass in her hand at the time. With the compass, she could continue to recognize the direction and not get lost.

"We don't have much time to delay, we have to take a gamble." Gu Nianwei bit the corner of his lips deeply, and said slowly.If they continue to adopt this conservative exploration stance, they may never find the desert city in their lifetime.

Gong Muyun narrowed her eyes, naturally she would not have any objection to Gu Nianwei's proposal.

Shao Siya was silent for a while, then looked at the venomous sun with a clear gaze, with a trace of stubbornness in his eyes, "We will do what you say, we will do."

Because he drank less water, his voice was a little dry, and even his normally pink lips began to peel.

A sense of guilt rose in Gu Nianwei's heart, "Shao Siya, I'm sorry. It was I who thought things too simply, and caused you to take risks with us."

Shao Siya tilted his head to look at her one more time, then smiled and said, "It's too far-fetched for you to say that. We are friends, aren't we?"

Gu Nian slightly lowered his eyes and smiled softly, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.Friends, indeed, they are friends.Today, Shao Siya accompanied them to risk her own life. In the future, as long as Shao Siya asks for something, she will do her best to repay him!

"Tell me about your plan?" Shao Siya smiled softly, curling the corners of his lips.

"I want to find a caravan and go together." Gu Nianwei was silent for a while, then said softly.

As soon as these words came out, the other three fell silent.Looking for a caravan?This is not an easy task.

At least, from the perspective of Turin, they couldn't find a fixed desert city, and it was even more difficult to find this dynamic caravan.

Seeming to see the doubts in everyone's hearts, Gu Nianwei continued, "Now we don't have any dry food or anything to keep out the cold. It's too dangerous to continue searching like this. If we find a caravan, we can follow the caravan and do things cheaply." .”

Gong Muyun frowned, "That being said, how can caravans be so easy to find?"

Gu Nianwei grinned slightly, "The desert city is hard to find, but this caravan is easy to find."

Since there are people living in this northern desert country, they must need certain living materials, that is to say, there must be business transactions, and there must be oases.

What they have to do now is to find a caravan, temporarily follow the caravan to find an oasis, adjust their status, and then continue to search for the desert city.

After all, compared to the understanding of the North Mo country, no one can compare with the natives of the North Mo country.

Before entering this desert, Gu Nianwei asked the camel vendor to find out about the situation inside, but it's a pity that people outside know very little about the legend of the desert city.

After hearing Gu Nianwei's words, Shao Siya raised his eyebrows, "The caravan is easy to find?"

The raised tone is obviously suspicious of Gu Nianwei's bragging.

Gu Nian smiled slightly and closed his eyes.The moment she closed her eyes, her ears became extremely sensitive.The wind was blowing from all directions, Gu Nianwei's ears moved, carefully eliminated some interfering factors, and finally locked his eyes on the northwest.

In that direction, there was a faint sound of camel bells coming with the wind.

Looking at Gu Nianwei's eyes, Gong Muyun couldn't help but raised the corners of his lips, "Indeed, there seems to be some movement over there."

After confirming the direction, several people walked towards the northwest.

Coincidentally, this direction is also the direction that Gu Nianwei predicted that the mandala would grow.

The luck of the four people is pretty good.

After walking for half a day, they finally met a caravan, and it was a large caravan.

However, when the caravan saw Gu Nianwei and the others, they were not friendly.

This is not difficult to understand. To them, Gu Nianwei and others are just strangers. In the desert where resources are very scarce, if they bring one more person and consume one more resource, the greater the risk they will bear.

They are businessmen, and the starting point of businessmen is always profit, so of course they are unwilling to take risks for these strangers.

The other party's attitude was indifferent, obviously he didn't want to take them with him, Gu Nianwei had nothing to do, but Gong Muyun and Shao Siya, who were naturally aloof and arrogant, were a little embarrassed.These two uncles are usually pampered and held in the hands of masters, but now, when they ask for help, they are rejected by others. They can't accept this matter.

As a result, these two goods also turned cold.If it wasn't for Gu Nianwei smoothing things over in the middle, the two of them might have disagreed and fought with someone.

Although Gu Nianwei usually has a poisonous tongue, when it comes time to negotiate, she will give full play to her poisonous tongue.Originally he was not willing to take their caravan, but under Gu Nianwei's instigation, he didn't know what kind of evil he had fallen into, so he agreed to take them with him in a daze.However, the condition is that they should be paid two pieces of silver every day.

To this, Gu Nianwei naturally agreed.

To her, silver is just a possession outside of her body. Following this caravan, finding the oasis, finding a resting place, and further inquiring about the desert city are what she cares most about now.

After six days in this desert, Gu Nianwei was already a little restless.According to her calculations, to cure Gong Muyun's disease, she needs nine kinds of medicinal materials, and these nine kinds of medicinal materials are all over the four countries.Now, there is only one ten thousand-year-old mandala, and they have wasted so much time. When the other nine species are found, they don't know that it will be the year of the monkey!
Now, she really doesn't want to wait for a moment, she just wants to cure Gong Muyun's hidden illness as soon as possible!

Therefore, she gave up her pride, no longer insisted on going her own way, and insisted on looking for the desert city by herself, but looking for caravans, oases, local people in Beimo, and looking for news!
The leader of the caravan is a middle-aged uncle in his 40s, named Ali.With a full face of beards, wearing a felt hat, a pair of thick black and rough eyebrows, flying obliquely into the temples, looks very fierce.

However, even though Ali looked fierce, he treated Gu Nianwei and the others quite politely.After all, no one has any enmity with silver. Although Gu Nianwei and others follow his caravan, they will pay silver every day. This is his customer.For a businessman, the customer is God, and he has no reason to offend God.

Every day, Ali would provide Gu Nianwei and the others with a bowl of water and four dry steamed buns. These things were charged separately.Although there was very little water and the steamed buns were unpalatable, with these things, the four of them would not starve to death.Therefore, they are still grateful to this fierce caravan leader.

When the four of them followed the caravan to the third day, they finally arrived at an oasis.

The endless oasis, rich in water and grass, compared with the long yellow sand before, this place is simply a paradise.

When seeing this oasis, both Gong Muyun and Gu Nianwei let out a long sigh of relief.As long as there are people there, they are not afraid that they will not be able to get the information they want.

This oasis is the most important trading market for the people of Beimo, called Polar Region.

In this oasis, some common people often live, acting as intermediary businessmen.

And these people have contacted many people and are the most well-informed.Ali has been doing business here all year round, and he is very familiar with the people here. Once he entered this oasis, he directly found a local old man and asked him to arrange accommodation for him.

Of course, accommodation is not free, and each person pays ten Wen.In such a place of yellow sand, it is very lucky to have a place to live, so the price of ten coins is really not high.

After solving the problem of accommodation, Ali started to organize the commodity trading activities at night.

This is an open oasis. From the time they entered here, Gu Nianwei noticed that businessmen from all directions gathered here, and the goods they brought were also varied and different.

The number of people and goods has gradually increased, and it is more interesting to trade in this way.
