[Comprehensive martial arts] On the conduct of Jinyiwei's commanders

When Lu Xiaofeng and Shen Bai finally reached the edge of the desert, five or six days had passed.

The carriage made by Zhu Ting was really good, even when walking on the mountain road, it would not be the slightest bit bumpy. When Lu Xiaofeng got off the carriage, he found that as long as he cleaned out the dust and changed a few wheels, the carriage could be sold as a new one. .

The loess is flying.

Flappy is everywhere.

As long as Lu Xiaofeng opens his mouth, he can eat a big mouthful of sand.

"We... bah bah bah..."

Lu Xiaofeng still opened his mouth, so he ate the sand immediately.

Shen Bai finally looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

The cake vendor on the side of the road was sweeping the dirt with a broom. What he was sweeping was not the dirt on the ground, nor the dirt on the table, but the dirt on the cake.

The cakes he sells have accumulated a lot of sand. If you don’t clean them up after a while, the cakes will be buried sooner or later, and the customers will probably think that what he sells is sand.

This peddler was as disgraceful as this small town. While sweeping the sand, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng and Shen Baizhong with surprised eyes, as if he was amazed that there would be fools coming to such a place to suffer.

Lu Xiaofeng spit out the sand from his mouth, and gestured to the peddler a few times, and the peddler immediately pointed him the way.

This road is of course the road leading to the inn.

All the houses in this town are small and gray, only this inn is slightly taller, like the taller one among the shorter ones, and it is easy to find at a glance.

As soon as Lu Xiaofeng dragged Shen Baizhong into the inn, he immediately turned around and closed the wooden door of the inn.

Even though he moved so fast, a lot of sand was blown in from the crack of the door, covering the ground with a shallow layer.

"What the hell kind of place is this?" Lu Xiaofeng said, "I haven't even entered the desert yet, I already feel a headache."

Shen Bai finally patted his sleeves and the hem of his clothes, and immediately there was another layer of sand on the ground.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "It's a good thing you don't like to be clean like Ximen Chuuxue, otherwise you will go crazy when you come here."

"Actually, I also like to be clean." Shen Baizhong sighed, "This kind of wind usually doesn't blow in the desert, just don't worry."

"Although there is little wind there, it makes people feel hot and thirsty. I'm afraid it won't be much better." Lu Xiaofeng said, "But I still find it very interesting. I want to go to all the places I haven't been to."

"Ah."

"I brought you here to find someone." Lu Xiaofeng said, "This person is very familiar with the desert, and he will definitely be our guide."

The person Lu Xiaofeng was looking for was sitting on the biggest table in the middle of the inn to gamble. He was sweating and drinking non-stop, until he didn't even have a copper coin in his pocket, and he couldn't bear to stop.

When Lu Xiaofeng's hand patted his shoulder, he immediately jumped up in fright, like a mouse.

His figure is like a mouse, but his nickname is not a mouse, just because he is really a cunning and greedy person.

"Old fox, do you still remember me?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

The old fox stared at Lu Xiaofeng's face carefully, his eyes turned around on Lu Xiaofeng's beard, and then on his eyebrows.

"Hero Lu?" The old fox asked tentatively.

"it's me."

The old fox's eyes suddenly changed, and his face was not as pale as before, "Hero Lu, what do you want from me?"

This cunning, greedy and philistine person seemed to become loyal all of a sudden, "As long as I can help, I will do it for you! Even if you want me to die here, I will never blink!"

"I don't want you to die." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "But I do want you to do me a favor."

"you say!"

"I want you to take me to the desert." Lu Xiaofeng said, "I'm not familiar with the desert, so I need a guide."

"Good! When shall we go?" asked the old fox.

"Aren't you going to ask where I want you to take me?"

"Why should I ask?" the old fox said, "Ever since you saved me five years ago, Da Xia Lu, I swore to myself that even if you told me to die, I would still be willing."

"Very good." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "You really are a loyal person. But don't worry, as long as I'm still alive, I'll let you live too! Even if something happens to you in the desert, as long as I can move, I will definitely save you! Even if you really die, I will definitely choose the best cemetery for you!"

"If I can't even trust you, who else can I trust?" The old fox laughed.

The sound of rolling the dice stopped, and so did the gamblers. They all looked at the two men with surprised eyes, as if they had been shocked by such earth-shattering loyalty and chivalry.

"Let's go now!" Lu Xiaofeng said, "Is your camel still here?"

"Of course!"

The old fox went to the backyard to lead his camel.

Lu Xiaofeng walked back to Shen Baisheng, "He has lived in this town for more than 50 years, there will never be anyone here who is more familiar with the desert than him."

"Ah."

"His camel is also the best camel here. Even if he is about to starve to death, he will never leave his owner's side."

"very good."

"Our preparations are sufficient, and I have great confidence in your martial arts." Lu Xiaofeng said, "But I still have some ominous premonitions, maybe we won't go smoothly this trip."

"You don't have to worry." Shen Baizhong said calmly, "None of us will die."

"Of course I think so too!" Lu Xiaofeng laughed.

------------

It was really hot in the desert, Lu Xiaofeng only felt that he was going to turn into a roast chicken.

This roast chicken must have been roasted by a very bad cook because it was dry and burnt and overcooked.

"We brought a lot of water." Lu Xiaofeng said, "Can I drink more?"

"You can drink if you want." Shen Bai finally said.

Even in such a scorching sun, Shen Baizhong didn't sweat a single drop, and his movements didn't slow down at all. Although he was wearing black clothes, he didn't seem to absorb too much heat.

Lu Xiaofeng drove the camel and walked a few steps quickly, reaching out to hold Shen Baizhong's wrist.

"You still have a normal body temperature." Lu Xiaofeng said, "Sometimes I doubt one thing."

Shen Bai finally cooperated with him to mess around, "What is it?"

"Are you human after all?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "How far has your martial arts reached?"

"I do not know."

"Of course you don't know." Lu Xiaofeng sat on the camel and shook his head, "If no one can beat me, I won't know how powerful I am."

The old fox leading the way finally spoke, "Hero Lu, are you really going to find Shi Guanyin?"

"real."

"Shi Guanyin is the god of death in the desert!" The old fox said, his voice began to tremble at the mention of this name, "Although I am not afraid of death, I am also..."

"But what?"

"No one wants to be tortured!"

"Correct."

"If a person lives long enough, he will know a little about everything."

"You're right."

The old fox took a sip of wine, "I have heard some young and beautiful girls talk about it. They said that anyone who offends Shi Guanyin will be severely punished."

"How cruel?" Lu Xiaofeng asked with a frown.

"First she deafened the ears of those men, then made their throats hoarse with poison, and finally took them to the mill like donkeys. These millers must never stop, they must not rest, they must not You can sleep, but keep walking until your eyes are blinded by the sun!"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak.

How vicious does a person have to be to come up with such a way to punish others?

"Why did these people offend Shi Guanyin?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.

"Because they are men!" said the old fox.

Lu Xiaofeng had never heard a more strange reason than this.

"Could it be that women won't offend Shi Guanyin?" Lu Xiaofeng said, "I thought the jellyfish Yinji from Shenshui Palace was the one who hated men."

"Of course women will too." The old fox said, "It's just that the punishment for men is even more terrible."

"Shi Guanyin likes all kinds of men." The old fox continued, "With her beautiful appearance, what man would not be tempted? Once these people are tempted, they will immediately forget Shi Guanyin's notoriety and become obedient. But dog."

"Does the dog still provoke the owner?"

"Of course!" the old fox said, "As long as Shi Guanyin conquers them, she will feel no fun, and she will resent these people for being useless, lacking ambition, not being a real man, not worthy of her status !"

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and looked at Shen Baizhong, "Then there must be a man here who she can't conquer."

"What will happen to the person who is not attracted to her?" Shen Baizhong asked suddenly.

"He will die too!" The old fox sighed, "She thinks that a man who doesn't like her is not a man at all, I'm afraid he's even worse than a dog."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Those who like her will die, and those who don't like her will die too. Isn't this making things difficult for others?"

"Shi Guanyin is such a person." The old fox said, "She was born to torture others for fun."

"What about the woman?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.

"Women who are prettier than her will die." The old fox said lightly.

"This is really unreasonable." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "If a person like her hadn't lived in this terrifying desert, she would have been eliminated by the martial arts seniors long ago."

"So we'd better not look for her." The old fox said, "Although I am willing to die for you, Daxia Lu, I really can't stand the torture!"

Lu Xiaofeng patted Shen Baizhong on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid! Look at this one!"

"Who is he?" asked the old fox. "Actually, I have been secretly curious for a long time. It would be great if you are willing to tell me."

"Shen Baizhong!"

The old fox didn't speak, and after a while, he sighed, "I was the one who was stupid, and who else is walking with you besides Shen Baizhong?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled.

"No wonder Lu Daxia is so confident. It seems that the desert is about to change." The old fox also laughed, "It would be a good thing if Shi Guanyin could die in Shen Baizhong's hands!"

At this moment, a groan suddenly came from the sand dunes not far away.

If Hu Tiehua was here, he would definitely jump up immediately, because it was this moan that made him fall for it.

It's a pity that Lu Xiaofeng and Shen Baizhong didn't know about this kind of scam.

"Did you hear any sound?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"Yes." Shen Bai finally pulled out the knife from the scabbard hanging on the camel, "Three people."

"We'd better not save them!" said the old fox. "Once you save someone, you not only have to give them food and water, but you also have to worry that they will betray you at any time!"

"We still have a lot of food and water, so what if we share some?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "Shen Bai and I will end up here, so why do you need to worry?"

If Hu Tiehua was here, not only would he jump up when he heard this sentence, he would even roar a few more times.

Because that's what he said before.

"Let's go and have a look." Shen Baizhong got off the camel and walked towards the sand dunes.

"it is good."

Lu Xiaofeng also followed, and the old fox stayed alone to look after the camel and luggage.

Sure enough, there were three people behind the sand dune, and these three people were indeed about to die.

Only people who are about to die can groan so faintly.

"Do you think it's strange?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, with a strange expression in his eyes.

"Have."

"What is it?"

"Those who are about to die, although their groans are weak, they won't be so coherent." Shen Baizhong said coldly.

As soon as his words fell, the three people on the ground bounced up, faster than rabbits, they looked like people who were about to die, they got up as if flying, and shot more than a dozen black shadows from their hands.

The knife light only flashed for a moment, and the blood splashed all over the hot yellow sand.

Shen Bai finally shook off the blood on the tip of the knife, and Lu Xiaofeng also dropped the hidden weapon in his hand.

There were three more bodies on the ground.

"Unexpectedly, we have only come here for a day, and we have already met the assassin." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "Doesn't this mean that Shi Guanyin has already started to be afraid?"

"She knows that she is not as good as you, so she wants us to die in the desert. It is best to die of thirst or starvation, so that she can rest assured."

Lu Xiaofeng and Shen Bai finally walked back to their camels.

"This also shows one thing, as long as we can find Shi Guanyin, then she will definitely lose."

Shen Bai nodded.

At this time they saw the old fox, who left his camel and ran to their camel with some hay in his hand.

"Although this person is cunning, he is very kind to his camel." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "If a person can treat his camel well, it means that he is not too..."

Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking halfway, because he found that although the old fox was holding the forage, he still had a short knife in his hand.

Of course the old fox would not kill his own camel, he was cutting the water bags of Lu Xiaofeng and Shen Baizhong with a knife!

Lu Xiaofeng rushed out immediately, before the old fox could react, the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

The water bag is fine, although there are many large and small scratches on it, but not even a drop of water flows out.

It seems that the old fox has been mowing for a long time. He was afraid that the two of them could hear the sound of running water, so he used this stupid method, but how could he know that this was a water bag made by Zhu Ting?

"I thought you were a very loyal person." Lu Xiaofeng said coldly.

"I am indeed." The old fox also sneered, "It's just that people are subject to change."

"You changed too?"

"Of course I've changed!"

"Why did you change?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"Because I have seen her!" The old fox suddenly smiled, it was a sweet and gentle smile, "You will never know how beautiful she is! That kind of beauty is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Like a fairy in the nine heavens..."

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, "But you, but you said those people have become her dogs..."

"Wouldn't it be a good thing to be her dog?" the old fox said coldly.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "You've gone crazy."

"That's right! I'm crazy!" The old fox laughed loudly, "As long as I can see her again, I'm willing to do anything!"

He smiled and laughed, and fell limply to the ground, spitting out black blood from his mouth, and stopped breathing after a while.

He had hidden the poison in his mouth.

"Shi Guanyin is so beautiful that people are willing to die?" Lu Xiaofeng asked after a long time.

"I don't know." Shen Baizhong said indifferently, "But I know another thing."

"what's up?"

"If you are fascinated by Shi Guanyin and become like this, don't go to Beizhen Fusi to look for me again."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly, "Why?"

"Shame."

------------

Although the old fox is dead, they still have the map and the camel.

Shi Guanyin is also a human being, and as a human being, she needs to drink water. A woman who thinks she is beautiful and does not allow others to be more beautiful than herself, not only needs to drink water, but also needs to take a bath frequently.

So as long as you follow the oasis, you will definitely find her lair.

night.

Night in the desert.

The night in the desert is really terribly cold. The hot sand during the day is as cold as ice at night. Sitting on it will freeze to death.

Shen Baizhong was pitching a tent, while Lu Xiaofeng was cooking mutton soup.

They have been gone for five or six days.

The lantern in the tent gave off a gentle light, echoing the stars in the sky, and there is no more beautiful scene than this.

"I remembered what happened in the mountains when we were young." Lu Xiaofeng stood up and put a blanket on himself, "At that time you were not the commander of the Jinyiwei, and I was not a hero Lu, and I didn't even have four eyebrows."

"Ah."

Shen Bai finally picked up the quilt, shook it, and spread it in the tent.

"At that time, even though our tent was crooked and the grilled fish was half burnt, I was still very happy." Lu Xiaofeng laughed, "I was rarely so happy."

"Ah."

The aroma of mutton soup wafted in the air, and Lu Xiaofeng sprinkled another handful of pepper into it.

"Later, you became the commander, and we spent much less time together."

Shen Baizhong sat down next to Lu Xiaofeng holding the knife.

"But friends don't have to stay together all the time. Those who need to stay together all the time must not be real friends." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "I know that if I go to you for something, you will definitely come to help me .”

"Yes."

"So when you have something to do, how can I not come to you?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "You don't have to think about it, you are my friend."

"I didn't think much of it."

"You haven't?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"No, no." Shen Baizhong also smiled, "I will keep watch tonight, so go to sleep quickly."

"it is good."

Lu Xiaofeng was not hypocritical at all, he drank a large bowl of mutton soup with a slur, and then lay down in the warm tent contentedly and closed his eyes.

After a while, he fell asleep soundly.

Because he knew that Shen Baizhong was outside the tent, he no longer needed to be vigilant.

late at night.

The moonlight has faded because clouds have covered the moon.

Lu Xiaofeng's breathing was very steady, only people with high internal strength can have such a breathing sound.

Suddenly a cold hand grabbed Lu Xiaofeng's hand.

"Lu Xiaofeng, get up." Shen Bai finally said.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. Through the faint starlight, he actually saw that Shen Baizhong was a little anxious.

What could make Shen Baizhong anxious?

"A sandstorm is coming."

Lu Xiaofeng's fingers on the quilt really felt the breeze blowing in from the gap in the tent.

He came to his senses at once, and immediately jumped up to look for the camel.

"I have brought them over." Shen Bai finally said, "You must hold on to your camel."

Those who have never been to the desert will never imagine the loneliness and despair in the desert.

You will never imagine that when you look at the pain everywhere in the yellow sand, it seems that you are alone in the world.

When the sandstorm first started, Lu Xiaofeng still had time to grab the reins and packages, and after another hour, he could only care about the camel.

It was pitch black before Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, the violent wind hit the sand on his head and body fiercely, the camel had already crouched down, and Lu Xiaofeng followed suit, he wanted to find Shen Baizhong, but he couldn't hear anything .

The camel was already trembling with fear, Lu Xiaofeng remembered that there was a sand dune to the west, he had to take the camel to the back of the sand dune, otherwise he would be buried in the sand sooner or later, and the camel would also be frightened to death sooner or later.

As soon as Lu Xiaofeng stood up, he was staggered by the wind. The camel was so frightened that he also stood up and was about to run away.

A hand immediately grasped the reins floating in the air.

Black sleeves.

It was only then that Lu Xiaofeng realized that Shen Baizhong had been quietly following him, but the wind was so strong that he couldn't feel it at all.

"Shen Baizhong?" Lu Xiaofeng shouted.

"Ah."

Hearing this short answer, Lu Xiaofeng immediately felt relieved, if they were blown away by this sandstorm, it would be really bad luck.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't even dare to think about it, if he and Shen Bai finally separated, there were too many ways to kill a person in this vast desert.

People like Shen Baizhong can easily see if a person is pretending to be dead, can easily see if a person is disguised, but it is difficult to reject other people's plots.

If someone told him that he had news about Lu Xiaofeng, even if he knew it was false, Shen Baizhong would still give it a try.

If someone told Lu Xiaofeng that he had news about Shen Baizhong, even if he knew it was false, Lu Xiaofeng would still give it a try.

They care about each other very much, isn't this the biggest bait?

Lu Xiaofeng felt relieved, finally took the camel to the sand dunes, and immediately sat down, waiting for the dawn with peace of mind.

When the first ray of sunlight came out from the sky, Lu Xiaofeng let out a long sigh.

Because there is nothing else beside him except a camel.
