Hearing Bing Zhixie's intention, Ji Feng said, "We came out to find Cang Ye, why did we suddenly go to save people again? Can we not be half-hearted in doing things?"
Bing Zhixie: "I've thought about it, it's too risky to take Cang Ye away, and it's not under our control. The chance of success is low, and it's not a good and feasible way."
"Then we should go back to the oasis. Since we agreed to help the queen, we can try to find a way to do it again." Gale Wind said.
"You don't have to go back to the city to think about a way." Bing Zhixie said, "There are still about ten days left in half a month. I'll find someone first, and then rush back. Going back now, if I can't think of a way, I'll just wait."
Blaze mused.
Bing Zhixie said again: "Your injury is more serious than mine, and the previous injury is not completely healed. You can rest for a few days when you return to the oasis. I should help you with the Rondo Langkasen Church."
"Will I be injured more than you? You seem to be stronger than me." Huo Feng refused to accept: "Hmph, if it wasn't for the power of Cang Ye to suppress me, I would be like this?" He thought to himself that he left like this, right? Very embarrassed, he said, "I think what you said makes sense. I will also go to find someone. I have eyeliner and can get more information."
A smile appeared on Bing Zhixie's mouth.
"Hey, what are you laughing at? Grandma's, are you playing for me!" Haifeng realized that he had been fooled and didn't want to be too embarrassed, he said bravely: "I know you are provoking me, I did it on purpose... No , I wanted to help... Damn!" He found that the more he explained, the more guilty he became, and he kicked the stone angrily. After thinking about it, I still felt unwilling to say: "I just thought about helping you find someone, Celeste, even if you don't provoke me, the result will be the same!"
"Yes, yes, yes yes yes." Bing Zhixie turned around and walked towards the two of them, Garland, a few dozen meters away.
"You...you..." Huo Feng was so angry that he was speechless, obviously he didn't go because he was provoked, but he made it seem like he was really provoked.
…
Two days later.
Kayan is a place with harsh environment. Several rocky mountains make up the city. The people who stay here can barely survive. In summer, the only well here can produce water. In winter, they can only rely on water storage or external water delivery .
At the same time, it is a transit station in the desert. From north to south, from west to east, many traders will take a break here when they pass by. Kayan is also a halfway house. Men under the age of 16 who have been tried by a sentencing court or tribunal for misdemeanor crimes will be detained at the Halfway House for punishment. Therefore, this place often becomes a place for sand thieves to find new subordinates. Many underage boys have early contact with the sand thieves, some directly join the team, and some become the informants of the sand thieves after returning to the city. It was in such a similar place that Swift Eagle knew Gao Feng, and even his name was taken by Gao Feng.
For the above reasons, Kayan is a place where news gathers, and the guards here hold the information of most merchants going from south to north, east and west. Gale led Bing Zhixie and the others to this place that few outsiders knew about to ask for news.
The guard is a man with bronzed skin and a turban wrapped in three-color cloth. His face has been covered with a sand-proof brown mask for many years. Only the parts above the bridge of the nose and below the eyebrows are leaked out. But with just such a little exposed skin, you can see the split scars on his face, and in addition to his pair of secret silver transparent eyes.
He was carrying the old wooden bucket and just filled it with water, when he heard the footsteps of an outsider, he only glanced sideways, still dragging two buckets weakly, and poured the water into a large water tank outside the rocky rock. Inside, cover the water tank with wooden boards and stones.
"Hey buddy, has a businessman from Sabanta brought a girl with long green hair here in the past few days?" Gale Wind didn't have any extra polite words, and directly expressed his intention to meet.
The guard at Kayan beckoned to walk into the stone house hewn at the bottom of the rocky mountain, and looked back at the three strangers vigilantly.
Gao Feng signaled Bing Zhixie and the three to wait outside, and followed him in.
"I didn't expect such a place to be hidden in the desert." Silliou looked around and saw the closed gate under the rocky mountain opposite, which should be the halfway house where the teenage prisoners were locked up by the wind.
There were some voices behind the gate, probably the teenagers detained here, but there were not many voices.
After seven or eight minutes, the wind came out of the stone house and threw a new water bag to each of them: "This thing is not cheap. Drinking it can restore some physical strength and quench thirst."
The liquid poured out of the water bladder is light blue, goose-yellow and translucent. It has no taste, only a touch of sourness.
"Any news?" Garland took the skin and didn't drink it.
Gao Feng took a few sips of his skin bag, wiped his mouth and nodded: "In the past five days, only a few merchants have passed by, and they stayed here for the night less than ten hours ago. Well, there is fresh food over there. The camel dung was probably left by them."
"That…"
"There was a young woman with green hair in the team. The guard said that she didn't see any injuries on the woman, but she should be under control." Hurricane said: "The guard didn't ask them where they were going next. They only said that they were chatting. It looks like I'm going to Xiangshan City inside and out."
"Elephant Mountain City... it's in the east." Silio recalled the map in his head and said, "It's not too close to here."
Wind said: "It's not just the issue of proximity, it's the territory controlled by the Angel Sect."
"What's the problem?" Bing Zhixie was puzzled.
"There is no major problem. It belongs to the hinterland of the true religion, and outsiders who do not follow the rules usually don't end well."
Scilio asked him back: "Are you a rule-abiding person yourself?"
Gao Feng glanced at him and smiled lightly: "That's no problem. We don't have to go to Xiangshan City, and finally stop those merchants halfway."
"Eat, rest, and go on your way." Silio arranged the following plans like a leader.
After the wind and the four of them left. The door to the halfway house opened, and a thin but clean teenager in tattered clothes came out.
"Why did you hide?" The guard with inconvenient legs came out of his house, like a hopeless body, he made his almost withered voice: "How many do you know?"
Teen nods.
"You're afraid to meet people you know in the past."
"Yes." The teenager bowed his head in shame.
"Heh." The guard smiled sarcastically: "You're not suitable to be my student, because you still have dignity and self-love. When you let go of your self-esteem, I will teach you the real killer trick! Humph..."
The teenager stood at the gate in a daze, and a small piece of soil and rock fell from his head and hit him. He immediately swept away the dust, even though his clothes were old and torn, he didn't want to be contaminated with any unclean sand and dust. .
The guard saw his actions, turned his back and said, "Come in and eat, and wash the dishes after eating. Use less water."
