The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 515: Jing Jue (Part )

After interrogation, Qi Yong revealed his origins and relevant information about the Jingjue Ancient City, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Qi Yong was originally from Da Chu. He had followed his father in the Western Regions merchant caravans since he was a child, so he was very familiar with the Western Regions.

After his father heard the legend of the ancient city of Jingjue, he wanted to take the risk and enter the ancient city. If he could find a few treasures, he would never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

He didn't want his son to be like him, wandering around all his life.

So, the father and son followed an expedition team and entered the desert from Heifengkou to look for the legendary "City of God".

The expedition team narrowly escaped death when they encountered a storm on the way. Unexpectedly, they were swept into the Jingjue Ancient City they were looking for by the storm!

The beautiful scenery before their eyes made everyone almost forget the danger.

The ancient city was just as described in the legend, with towers lining every which way, carved beams and painted buildings, and it was so exquisite that it looked like a fairyland.

The shops on the streets are still filled with a wide variety of goods, and even the restaurants and eateries are filled with the aroma of food.

However, the entire city was empty and dead silent, as if time and space had frozen.

The group of people had no time to be afraid and greedily broke into roadside shops, stuffing valuables such as jewelry into their bags.

Suddenly, a faint singing voice rang out from the palace in the center of the city.

Qi Yong was still a teenager at the time, and he could not remember what happened afterwards.

All he remembered was that in the chaos, his father blindfolded him and pushed him out of the city.

"Run, run as far as you can!"

Qi Yong stumbled and ran desperately, only to hear screams of terror from behind, and soon there was silence.

Qi Yong turned back in horror and tore off the blindfold, only to see the city gradually disappearing in a dazzling golden light...

The golden light burned his eyes, and when the unconscious Qi Yong was found by a caravan, he had blinded one eye and had a lame leg.

Everyone said that this was cursed by the queen.

Jiang Li thought for a moment: "So, you don't know the exact path either?"

Qi Yong honestly admitted: "I only know that if I enter the desert from the Black Wind Pass and walk for about half a day, I will reach the place where I encountered the storm that day."

"At that time, we were all blinded by the sandstorm, and we didn't know how the city appeared. After the sandstorm passed, it just stood there before us."

"Later, I ventured there twice more. Both times, not long after entering the Black Wind Pass, I heard singing. I didn't dare to go deeper, so I retreated."

Xie Changan pondered and said, "So, when the singing voice appears, danger will come?"

"My guess is that it should be so." Qi Yong said in fear and trepidation, "Prince, Duke, that is definitely not a divine city, but a demon city occupied by demons! You two should not put yourselves in danger."

Xie Changan said expressionlessly: "I will be your guide and ensure that you are safe."

Qi Yong didn't dare to persuade him anymore and could only nod in agreement.

The soldiers set up the tents, Jiang Li walked into the tent and contacted Bai Xian again.

"Bai Xian, where are you?"

Bai Xian quickly replied: "Little fairy, we are in a place called Black Wind Pass."

"According to local people, if you go deep into the desert from Heifengkou, you will find the ancient city."

"Yes, we found a guide and he said the same thing."

Jiang Li told Bai Xian everything Qi Yong had said.

"You must proceed with caution. If you hear singing, retreat immediately!"

"Yes! I obey my orders!"

Xie Changan opened the door curtain and walked in: "Have Bai Xian and the others arrived?"

Jiang Li frowned slightly: "They have entered the Black Wind Pass. I told Bai Xian that if he hears singing, he should retreat immediately."

Xie Changan nodded: "Yes, I don't know what the monster's intentions are, so it's better to be careful."

He sat down next to Jiang Li, held her in his arms, and said with concern: "Are you tired from the journey? It's still early in the morning, do you want to sleep for a while?"

It would have been fine if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, Jiang Li felt a wave of fatigue coming over her.

She yawned loudly: "Okay, I'll take a nap first."

Xie Changan then took out the bedding and made the bed.

Jiang Li had been sleepy since she became pregnant, and after a long journey, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

Xie Changan tucked the quilt in for her and tiptoed out of the tent.

He still had many questions and wanted to interrogate Qi Yong in more detail.

At dawn, Jiang Li suddenly sat up from the bed.

Xie Changan, who was watching over her, was startled and asked hurriedly, "Little Li Nu, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Li frowned: "Bai Xian warned me! And then lost contact!"

Xie Changan was shocked again: "What did Bai Xian say?"

"She only had time to say, 'Be careful' before she lost contact!"

Jiang Li's delicate eyebrows twisted into a ball, "What are you being careful about? I haven't had time to say it yet!"

After she received the warning, she kept calling Bai Xian through the contract, but there was no news from Bai Xian.

"Line up, let's go!"

Jiang Li got up quickly.

"it is good."

Xie Changan responded in a deep voice, turned and walked out of the tent, ordering the team to pack up and prepare to set off.

The personal soldiers were all well-trained and they quickly formed a team. They left the horses here, gave them enough silver, and asked the old man to look after them.

Then they changed to the camel that Qi Yong found and walked into the vast desert.

Jiang Li asked Qi Yong to go at full speed without rest.

Qi Yong hesitated: "It will take two or three days to get to Black Wind Pass from here. Don't the prince and the duke need to set up camp and rest?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "It's okay, just lead the way."

Qi Yong saw that everyone was traveling light, even with only one water bag per person, and he couldn't help but feel worried: "You can bring less dry food, but you must bring enough water. There will be no water source in the desert."

A personal soldier laughed and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Our prince has plenty of water. There's plenty of it!"

The prince could take things out of her portable cave at any time, like a magic trick. Even if the prince produced a house, he would not be surprised, let alone water and food?

Qi Yong was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He could only urge the camel to move at full speed.

It was Jiang Li’s first time riding a camel. He felt very excited and looked around while sitting on the camel.

All I could see was yellow sand and endless sand dunes.

These sand dunes may seem ordinary, but they actually hide dangers.

There are often deep sand valleys between sand dunes, and the bottom of the valley is filled with soft sand. Once you fall into it, it is difficult to get out.

Moreover, quicksand may be hidden in the sand valley. When people or animals accidentally step in, the quicksand will quickly bury them, leaving only a silent sandy land, as if nothing had happened.

Only an experienced guide knows how to avoid these hidden dangers.

Soon, Jiang Li lost interest and started yawning.

Xie Changan said softly, "Are you tired? Why don't you go back to Dragon Palace and rest for a while?"

Jiang Li nodded: "Okay, you must be careful, if there is anything wrong, call me at any time."

After saying this, she thought about it and disappeared from the camel.

Qi Yong happened to witness the whole process and was stunned!
