V1.Chapter 261

The desert is hot and dry. The sand below is soft and hot. During the day, the air fluctuates because of the heat. Walking in the desert, even if you take a breath, you feel a burning pain in your lungs.

Fortunately, Brian is familiar with the road. There are often caravans on the route he takes the people, and the ground is relatively hard, which makes the people speed up a lot. In addition, he also passes through the oasis from time to time along the way. He can go to the oasis to enjoy the cool or news at noon or at night.

Like others, Tang Yin couldn't stand the heat of the desert. He often walked only one morning and his clothes were soaked with sweat. At this time, everyone was wearing only single clothes, and all the armor outside had been removed.

This day, on the third day of entering the desert, Tang Yin and others were a little tired. They looked forward and saw the boundless desert. They couldn't even see the shadow of Duji city. Tang Yin hurried a few steps with his horse, caught up with Brian walking in front and asked, "Brian, how many days do you have to walk out of the desert?"

Brian smiled, wiped the sweat on his face and said, "it's coming soon. If everything goes well, he can get out of the desert tomorrow afternoon and reach duki city in the evening!"

"Oh!" Tang Yin sighed, looked up at the hot sun above her head and said, "it looks like it's going to noon. We have to find a place to have a rest."

"Yes!" Brian nodded, looked forward, and youyou said, "if I remember correctly, there should be an oasis ahead with a small lake in it."

"Oh?" Tang Yin suddenly became interested when he heard the speech. Walking in the desert these days, he passed many oases, but he had never seen the lake inside. He smiled and said, "we don't have much water. If the lake is fresh water, we can just add it!"

Brian smiled, "if the lake is still there, it must be fresh water."

The lake water in the desert can walk, because it is mostly formed by groundwater. It may appear here today and elsewhere tomorrow. Of course, its movement is also regular. People familiar with the desert can find the freshwater lakes hidden in the desert through the change of seasons.

At this time, Xiao Na also rode and ran over. Like others, her armor was all removed and she was wearing a white simple long skirt. At this time, her white face was covered with sweat. She took a sweat towel to wipe the sweat flowing to her neck from time to time, and muttered discontentedly: "if I can't find a place to take a bath, my body will rot away!"

Blaine shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Princess highness, the water in the desert is even more expensive than gold. Even if there is a lake in front of the oasis, I'm afraid it's not enough for the Royal Highness to bathe."

"What? Not even enough water for bathing? What lake is that?" Shawna asked with wide eyes.

Blaine whispered: "after waiting, the princess will know."

Xiao Na was disappointed when she heard the speech.

Tang Yin sighed, took out her water bag and handed it to Xiao Na. The latter was not polite. He took the water bag, pulled out the cover and took two gulps of gulp gulp.

Brian was right. There was indeed an oasis ahead, but when Tang Yin and his party arrived, there were other people inside, and a large caravan was resting in it.

The caravan has as many as two or three hundred people, and the camels used to carry goods alone are as many as 160 or 70. Seeing the arrival of Tang Yin and his party, the caravan personnel who used to sit on the ground and rest stood up one after another, and many of them have touched their hands on the saber at their waist.

Sand bandits are everywhere in the desert, and Tang Yin these people are running fast on horses. People who don't know the inside story really can't see their identity.

When Tang Yin and others came near the oasis, both sides could clearly see each other's appearance, and the people on the other side of the caravan were stunned. Most of Tang Yin and others have wind people's faces, which are naturally very different from those in the Murphys Federation. At this time, two middle-aged people in their early 40s came out of the caravan, looking like the leader of the caravan. They looked at Tang Yin and asked politely, "excuse me, are you..."

Brian urged his horse forward and said with a smile, "we're from Bessa. We're going to dukey city!"

"Oh!" Hearing this, everyone in the caravan breathed a sigh of relief, and the hands that originally held the knife handle also loosened one after another. Listen to Brian's accent, it's really a Bessa accent. Yes, there are no Bessa people among the sand bandits, and the always arrogant Bessa people disdain to be sand bandits.

The eyes of the two middle-aged people fell on Tang Yin and others, looked up and down curiously, and asked, "they are..."

"He..." Brian was about to speak. Tang Yin leaned slightly, patted him on the shoulder from behind, interrupted him, and then said with a smile in fluent Murphy language: "we are businessmen from besa."

"Turn to Bessa?" The two middle-aged men were stunned for a moment, and then asked in unison, "are you wind people?" Their faces are all from the Haotian Empire, and the only thing the Haotian Empire wants to go to Duji via besa is the wind kingdom.

Unexpectedly, the other party could say where he was. Tang Yin was stunned at first, but he responded quickly. Then he nodded and smiled, "yes, we are windy people!"

"Ah!" The two middle-aged people couldn't help looking at Tang Yin more. After all, too few Fengren came to Duji, especially Fengguo businessmen, who had never seen them before.

"Don't talk to them, let's go in!" Xiao Na gets off her horse and urges Tang Yin and Brian to walk into the oasis.

The oasis covers a large area and is full of green and luxuriant Populus euphratica trees. Populus euphratica is the most common tree in the desert. It is said that it will not die for three thousand years and will not rot for three thousand years after death.

In the middle of the oasis, there is really a small lake, but when she sees this small lake, Xiao Na's tears almost fall out. It's a small lake, rather than a puddle. It's only five or six meters long and wide, and the water is shallow enough to fall to the bottom at a glance. It's estimated that the deepest place in the center can only barely exceed the foot surface, let alone take a bath. It's estimated that if the wind is strong, it can blow the small puddle dry.

Standing quietly in front of the lake for ten seconds, Xiao Na fiercely turned back, glared at Brian and asked, "is this what you call the lake?"

Blaine shrugged innocently and came up and whispered, "as I said just now, this lake is not enough.

"You're dead!" Xiao Na had no princess temperament and self-restraint at this time. She angrily pushed Brian away and walked to a Populus euphratica tree. She sat on the ground with her pink cheeks bulging high.

It would be strange to have a large lake in the desert. Tang yinben didn't hold much hope. At this time, he was not disappointed. He smiled at Xiao Na, who was sulking under the tree, and then asked the people around him to fill the water bag by the lake and keep it for standby.

Although the puddle was small, there was a spring hole below. They filled all the water bags, but they didn't see a decrease in the water in the puddle.

Tang Yin took a water bag filled with clear water and drank a few mouthfuls. He felt that the lake water was sweet and unusually cool. He nodded with satisfaction, then walked to Xiao Na with the water bag, sat down next to her and said, "it's really wrong for you to let Princess Xiao Na accompany me to suffer!"

Hearing the speech, Xiao Na glanced at Tang Yin and said, "I didn't say I was wronged."

"Your expression is written on your face."

Shawna glanced and whispered, "it's not that obvious?!" With that, she quickly explained: "I don't regret going to Duji with you, but... I just think the road is too difficult..." she hasn't been to Duji before. She just heard that she wants to cross a vast desert, but she has no experience of the hardships in the desert. Now she feels that this is not a place where people can live at all.

Looking at Xiao Na who explained carefully, Tang Yin was also very moved. If it wasn't for helping herself, Xiao Na, who is your princess, wouldn't have to come here to suffer. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "this time, I owe you a favor. I will pay you back in the future, no matter what you ask."

"Really?" Shawna's eyes lit up immediately.

Tang Yin looked at her bright eyes, couldn't help laughing, nodded and said definitely, "really."

Xiao Na's mouth couldn't close, her eyes rolled and said with a smile, "then I'll think about it!"

"You can bring it up anytime."

Her joy also infected Tang Yin, who added with a smile, and her eyes became unusually soft when looking at Xiao Na. Maybe Tang Yin didn't realize it. I don't know when Xiao Na's joys and sorrows can gradually affect his mood. The promises he made at this time will also have a great impact on him in the future.

As they were resting, the two middle-aged men in the caravan came over again, talked with them and asked them what business they were doing in duqui and could cooperate with them if they had the opportunity.

Brian is very sociable and looks comfortable with two middle-aged people.

After eating the dry meat and food he carried with him, Tang Yin rested for a long time. Looking at the sun, Tang Yin had moved westward. It was estimated that it was almost more than three o'clock in the afternoon and it was time to continue on the road. He was about to urge the people to get on the horse. At this time, there were bursts of hoofs in the distance. Listening to the sound, it seemed that a large number of riding teams were running towards the oasis.

Tang Yin sighed lightly. It seems that this place has become the only way in the desert. Caravans and pedestrians coming and going will take it as a resting place. Scream trouble! He was going to order everyone to get on the horse, but when he heard another person coming, he stood up and sat back on the ground. His naturally smiling face made people wonder what he was thinking.

Soon, a hidden arrow man who stayed at the outpost outside the oasis quickly ran to Tang Yin, knelt on one knee, lowered his voice, and said, "Sir, there is a horse team coming quickly outside, but something is wrong. It doesn't look like a caravan or ordinary pedestrians!"
