Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 313 Joke Talk
Sugi still didn't believe it, so he ordered someone to bring Ah Fei.

When Ah Fei saw Xiao Xiaosheng, he immediately opened his eyes wide.

Fan Mu asked: "That day in front of Yumen Pass, it was this old Taoist priest who gave you instructions. He smiled and said displeasedly: "What old Taoist priest? Sir, I am the youngest?Hey, don't force him to question him. It was I who told A Fei where the Ye Mingzhu was hidden. It was also I who told him that if he didn't come forward and confess his crime, the Loulan caravan would be in serious trouble. "

The warrior Ah Jing came over and grabbed Xiaoxiaosheng's clothes, and asked: "Tell me, how did you know that the Night Pearl was hidden in the water bag?" Xiaoxiaosheng said: "You hurt me, let go, let go quickly. Okay. , I said, I can do magic."

Ah Jing was stunned and said, "What?" He smiled and said, "Sir, I know magic and can see through objects. I saw the night pearl in the water bag through my magic eye, so I told Ah Fei casually."

The people around him saw his playful smile and his lack of seriousness, so they couldn't believe him.Fan Mu winked, and Ah Jing took the riding whip and prepared to torture him.

Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "It's true, I really know spells, and I lied to you as puppies." Turning his head and raised his chin at Xiao Yang, he said: "Hey, you, quickly prove that what I said is the truth .”

Mu Mu said: "Master, do you recognize this old Taoist priest?" Xiao Yang shook his head and said, "I don't."

Su Mu said: "You claim that you are not lying, then you tell me, what is in my arms?" Xiao Xiaosheng said: "Ye Mingzhu."

Su Mu said: "That doesn't count. Anyone can guess that I will carry the Ye Mingzhu with me in case of accidents. You can use your eyes to see what else is in my arms?" Smiling and embarrassingly said: "To tell you the truth, my magic eye can't see everything. This luminous pearl is a treasure. It can emit strange light. Can anyone with a little bit of magic be able to do it?" A Fei lowered his head, but he shouldn't.See. "

Sugi sneered and said, "No one will believe this. Someone..." Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! I'm telling the truth. I have witnesses. At that time, not only I could see the Ye Mingzhu, but also the Loulan caravan Some people have seen it." Sumu said: "Who?" Xiao Xiaosheng said: "A quack doctor is priceless, he has been with Prince Changmai, he should be the so-called military adviser."

Su Mu only felt that the other party's speech and behavior were unimaginable, but it was late at night, and it was inconvenient to torture and extract a confession, so he immediately ordered him to be imprisoned first with a smile, and asked: "Young master, do you think the old Taoist's magic is true? ?”

Xiao Yang said: "I can't say for sure. However, there are many wonders in the Great Thousand World. Although Xiao Xiaosheng speaks a little crazy, if he doesn't know magic, he has no other ability to know the hiding place of Ye Mingzhu in advance."

Mu Mu thought for a moment, and said: "Since I have found the person who ordered A Fei, I should also fulfill my promise. Young Master can take A Fei away by himself as early as possible tomorrow morning."

Xiao Yang said: "So Xiaoxiaosheng..."

Fan Mu said, "Young master, do you also want to plead for him?"

Xiao Yang said: "Yes." Fan Mu responded simply: "For the sake of the young master, I will let him go tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, the sun rose, and the desert in front of us suddenly turned into a shining sea.

Xi Mu ordered people to invite Xiao Yang, and said: "We have been together for a long time this way to the west. I dare not say how much I know you, but you are definitely not the kind of person who runs away. I think you will come to the Western Regions this time. , not because he is wanted by the Central Plains court and has nowhere to go, but because he has some special purpose."

Xiao Yang said: "Yes, I came to the Western Regions to find an important thing that belongs to the Central Plains."

Mu Mu said: "Oh, is this important thing related to our Khotan?" Xiao Yang said: "It has nothing to do with Khotan. Please rest assured, Prime Minister, although Princess Huaiyu is an old acquaintance with me, she is already very expensive now For Princess Khotan, I will never go to Gaopan to disturb her again."

Chanmu squeezed out a rare smile on his usually deep face and said: "It turns out that the young master knows something in his mind, so I'm relieved." After a pause, he asked again, "Could it be that the thing that the young master is looking for is the legendary one?" King Zhou Mu’s treasure?”

Xiao Yang did not answer, but asked: "There is one thing I have always wanted to ask Prime Minister Zuo. Is it because Khotan is willing to take the risk to take me out of the customs because of the conditions Princess Huaiyu agreed to you?" Fan Mu asked in return: " You are so clever, don’t you think of it now? So many businessmen died in front of Yumen Pass, why?”

Xiao Yang suddenly realized, and lost his voice: "Could it be that Princess Huaiyu brought silkworm seeds to Khotan privately?" Su Mu said: "That's right. She did it for the sake of your son." Xiao Yang was speechless for a moment, and just bowed his head silently.

Xunmu didn't talk any more, and ordered people to bring A Fei and Xiao Xiaosheng, hand them to Xiao Yang face to face, and said: "These two people are at the disposal of the young master." Only Xiao Yang's horse was left behind, and he led everyone away .

Smiling happily, he said, "It's all right now. Hey, what are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and untie me, sir."

Xiao Yang pulled out his saber, and cut off the rope on Xiao Xiaosheng's wrist.When he was going to untie Ah Fei again, he was very stubborn, turned his body sideways to dodge, and said angrily: "I don't want you to save me." Passing the long sword in Xiao Yang's hand, he stepped forward to untie A Fei.Ah Fei sat down on the sandy ground, while stroking the sore spot on his wrist, he glared at Xiao Yang bitterly.

Xiao Xiaosheng said: "Hey, the people of Khotan only left one horse and one bag of water, which is not enough for the three of us. What should we do?"

Xiao Yang once traveled west with Fan Mu and knew that he was a shrewd and sinister man. He always felt that he was too quick to let him go this time. He felt something was wrong in his heart and wanted to follow Yu Tian and his party to see what happened. After hearing this, he said: " I left the dry food here. There is water here. Why don't you, sir, and A Fei stay here first and wait for the Loulan caravan behind? I have something else to do and I have to go on my way first."

Xiao Xiaosheng was very stubborn, and shook his head again and again: "No, you can't leave the two of us alone. Didn't you hear people say that the desert is very dangerous, and it is often only one step away from death. I don't trust you Going on the road alone, and I am very worried that A Fei and I are waiting here. We are old and injured, and unarmed, can you bear it?"

While talking, he grabbed the water bag beside the saddle in his hand to prevent Xiao Yang from fleeing first when he got on the horse.

Without water, it would be difficult to move in the desert.

Xiao Yang said: "Mr. Xiao, I really have something to do, please..."

Seeing Xiaoxiaosheng's eyes widen suddenly, he stared blankly behind him, then instinctively turned his head back.

I saw a large piece of cloud and mist suddenly gushing out from the yellow desert, transpiring and rolling, the scenery was spectacular and bizarre.First, a large expanse of turbulent sea water appeared, and then tall mountains and rivers appeared on the sea surface.There are all kinds of buildings on the mountain, looming and scattered, and amidst the misty waves, there is a prosperous scene.

Xiaoxiaosheng was dumbfounded and said after a while: "What a powerful illusion!" A Fei said disapprovingly: "What illusion? This is a mirage, the most common thing in the desert."

He smiled and said, "A mirage?"

Ah Fei said: "Well, it's a fake mirage. But mirages usually appear when the summer is hot, and it's spring at this time, a lot of time earlier."
