According to the vanguard who went to the desert that day, the smoke exhaled by those Yama soldiers smelled like burnt cowhide. Mu Hanye said, "Do you still remember where the water source is?"
"I can't remember." Xie Jin shook his head. "I was just running around in the desert, so I didn't have the energy to remember these things. I won't be going there again."
"How many days did it take to get from the border to Sunset City?" Mu Hanye asked again.
"About seven or eight days." Xie Jin said, "But due to the strong wind and sand, it was delayed for more than a day."
Mu Hanye nodded and didn't have many other questions.
"Will my second uncle be okay?" Xie Xiaoyang chased out and asked before leaving.
"Yes." Oliver rubbed his head, "Just stay here and listen to the doctor."
"Yes." Xie Xiaoyang nodded and watched everyone leave the hospital.
After returning to the Anping Palace, Mu Hanye spread out the map on the table and drew a circle with cinnabar. "The only way to go from the Rakshasa Border Market to Sunset City in six or seven days is through this area." Pass."
"What are these circles?" Asher asked, pointing at the map.
"The spring springs in the desert." Mu Hanye said, "But it will disappear or reappear at any time depending on the direction of the wind and the flow of sand. It is not as fixed as inland."
"If what Xie Jin said is true, then the so-called Yama Soldiers should also be active in this area." Asher said, "Otherwise the poisonous smoke would not persist." After all, sandstorms may blow in the desert at any time. Not to mention poisonous smoke, even a cow would probably be blown away.
"Han-speaking bandits, Zhou Jue's people?" Oliver guessed.
Mu Hanye nodded, "Otherwise, which Chu bandit would be willing to travel all the way to the Rakshasa Kingdom to rob, and he is not so rich." Let alone meet the Rakshasa King.
"So what's next?" Oliver asked.
Mu Hanye raised his lips and said, "Catch two first and interrogate them."
Oliver looked puzzled.
"Since those bandits said they wanted to see the Rakshasa King, they must be organized and cannot be just one or two stragglers." Asher explained, "Brother Mu means that Zhou Jue has probably sent a group of bandits." We will send an army to the Rakshasa Kingdom. It would be great if we can capture a few of them. At least we can figure out what Zhou Jue wants to do next. "
Oliver nodded, "If it goes well, that would be the best. But it's not easy to sneak into the Rakshasa Kingdom and arrest people, right?"
"I plan to send a shadow guard to disguise himself as a businessman and go to the Rakshasa Kingdom with Yan Laoer again." Mu Hanye said, "It's just a pretext that I want to discuss the opium business with Menshak, so it's not too unexpected."
"In addition to the shadow guards, there are two other people who can go." Asher said.
"Brother Qin wants to go too?" Mu Hanye was in a good mood and patted his shoulder. "You are really a good brother."
Asher calmed down and said, "Brother Mu, you are overthinking. I don't want to go at all."
Mu Hanye:...
"Yao Qian and Fan Yan?" Oliver guessed.
Asher nodded, pinched his cheek, "Let's just say Ling'er understands me."
"That's fine." Mu Hanye accepted everyone who came - in short, as long as someone from the Shadow Palace followed him, he would have taken advantage, and there was no reason to refuse!
"Fan Yan is highly skilled in martial arts and Yao Qian is meticulous. With the two of them here, even if the caravan cannot take advantage, at least it will not suffer a big loss." Asher said, "I will immediately send a secret guard to deliver the message back, and hurry up. About It'll be there in four days."
Mu Hanye nodded, "Thank you, Brother Qin, for your help this time."
"You're welcome." Asher smiled, "When the matter is resolved, Brother Mu will slowly give me some money."
Shen Xiaoshou was very embarrassed when he heard this. At this time, shouldn't he say something like "Good brothers are loyal, this is what I should do" and offered to give him a discount or something. He was such a shameless man.
Mu Hanye laughed even more heartily, "Brother Qin, don't count on me. I don't have any money, and I won't give it to you even if I have it."
Wong Tai Sin holds his forehead.
Oliver:...
This person is not that thin-skinned.
Just say that they are really good friends.
"What should we do with Uncle Wang?" After Asher and Oliver left, Huang Daxian asked while pouring tea.
"If the guy in the big tent is really a fake, what do you think his purpose is?" Mu Hanye asked.
"The letter A-yan sent originally only made two requests." Huang Taixian said, "The first is for me to come to Sunset City for astrology, and the second is for a good army to go to the desert to find out what's going on."
Mu Hanye nodded, "What if we agree to his request?"
Wong Tai Sin frowned, "You mean..."
"Uncle Wang and I have always had a good relationship. I may agree to his request." Mu Hanye said, "And if it is really as he wishes, I guess you are already in danger in the desert. What should I do then?"
"So his ultimate goal is to lead you to the desert?" Wong Tai Sin came to his senses.
Mu Hanye nodded, "This is the most reasonable inference."
"Now that you have seen through his plot, there shouldn't be any big problems." Huang Daxian arrived, "The only thing to confirm is who is sitting in the coach's tent. If there is really someone replacing him, then where is the real Uncle Wang?"
"Let's go." Mu Hanye led him out of the door, "You'll know if it's true or not after you try it."
"But he seems to have no intention of speaking." Wong Tai Sin reminded.
"So what?" Mu Hanye curled his lips. "Even if he can't say it, he can still hear it. Unless he is completely crazy, there are many ways to deal with it."
Inside the commander's tent, Prince Anping was reading a military book when he suddenly heard that Mu Hanye was coming, so he hurried out to greet him.
"Uncle Wang, there's no need to be so polite." Mu Hanye looked a little anxious.
Prince Anping was still speechless, but his eyes clearly asked him what had happened.
"Uncle Wang, do you still remember Princess Daza?" Mu Hanye entered the tent, "The eldest daughter of the Aqili family."
King Anping picked up a pen and wrote "What happened" on the paper.
Wong Tai Sin shook his head in his heart, neither saying he remembered nor saying he didn't remember. He just asked what happened, and it turned out to be flawless.
"I just received a letter from my mother, saying that Aqili sent another letter, insisting that Daza marry Ayan, saying that even if she can't be the principal wife, she can be a c0ncubine." Mu Hanye asked, "What do you think, Uncle Wang?"
Prince Anping wrote on the paper again---Ayan, what do you think?
"Of course I won't. There's no need to ask." Mu Hanye shook his head, "I've seen a lot of Ayan beauties. How can I catch my eye when Dazha is mediocre in appearance? But Uncle Wang also knows that Aqili is on the grassland to the north. She is extremely powerful. Although Daza is just a daughter of a c0ncubine, being a c0ncubine to A-yan is really considered a marriage. If we continue to refuse, we may not be able to do business well in the future. "
Prince Anping frowned, obviously lost in thought.
"Uncle Wang." Mu Hanye was obviously very sincere and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
After a long while, Prince Anping finally nodded and wrote on the paper: The overall situation is important, and everything is left to the king to decide.
"How about I ask Ah Yan to come over?" Mu Hanye said again, "Ah Yan has been spoiled by his aunt since he was a child. I'm afraid that even if there is a queen mother, she may not be able to persuade him. Even if Uncle Wang can't speak, Ah Yan will definitely be more obedient."
King Anping nodded without making too many excuses.
"That's great. Uncle Wang, please have some rest. We won't disturb you." Mu Hanye wanted to leave with Huang Daxian, but was stopped by King Anping. He wrote on a piece of paper - What does the king think about the ghost in the desert?
"I have already asked the vanguard team, and there is indeed something strange." Mu Hanye said, "But for matters involving ghosts and gods, Xiaoyuan needs to perform a divination to get the exact number."
Wong Tai Sin: ...
King Anping nodded and mouthed, "That's fine."
Mu Hanye smiled and led Huang Daxian out of the room. His eyes grew colder and colder, and when they returned to their residence, they were already gloomy.
"Any questions?" Wong Tai Sin asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Either he is confused, or he is a fake, which one do you think it is?" Mu Hanye asked.
"It's impossible to be confused." Wong Tai Sin shook his head.
"That's right." Mu Hanye said, "So he is a fake."
"Why?" Huang Daxian asked, "The part about Princess Daza was fabricated?"
"It's true." Mu Hanye said, "If I make up a completely untrue story, and if Uncle Wang was not replaced but was only temporarily bewitched by Zhou Jue, wouldn't he know that I have noticed something strange and alert the enemy instead?"
Huang Daxian frowned, "Then why are you so sure?"
"The northern tribe has always wanted to marry the Qijue Kingdom. Previously, they wanted to marry Daza to me." Mu Hanye said.
Wong Tai Sin: ...
"I hadn't met you yet, but I didn't want to marry her, so I said A-yan was not bad." Mu Hanye said boldly.
Huang Taixian looked at him speechlessly. He didn't want to get married, so he pushed it to his younger brother. This kind of brother is not much better.
"Daza is famous for her fierce personality, and her appearance cannot be said to be very beautiful. Naturally, A-yan will not be willing." Mu Hanye said, "But Uncle Wang likes her very much. He feels that if A-yan marries her, he might be able to marry her." Calm down your mind and walk on the right path. Unfortunately, in the end, Auntie and A-yan couldn't get over it, and they refused the marriage unwillingly. However, I always felt regretful in my heart, and I always talked about it every time the family reunited. "
"So if he is the real King of Anping, tonight when he heard that the grassland side has not given up and is still thinking about getting married, he should have agreed without hesitation, and maybe even overjoyed. He definitely shouldn't be as calm as he is now. ? "Wong Tai Sin understood.
Mu Hanye nodded, "Also, Uncle Wang has a scar on the back of his hand. I took the opportunity to see it just now. The man in the tent also has it on his hand, but the shape and expression are different."
Huang Daxian was slightly surprised. He usually didn't care about details, but he didn't expect him to be so meticulous.
"What should we do next?" Huang Daxian looked worried, but he didn't ask a question. If the person in the tent was a fake, would the real Prince Anping have met with an accident?
"No." Mu Hanye saw what he was thinking, shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang will be fine." It was more like comforting him than comforting himself.
"Yes." Huang Daxian said, "King Anping is very important to the Qi Jue Kingdom. Even if Zhou Jue really designs to capture him, he will definitely be well fed and served. Firstly, it may be useful in the future, and secondly, it will leave a way out for himself."
Mu Hanye smiled and said, "You are quite reasonable."
"To tell you the truth, I know Zhou Jue better than you do." Huang Daxian said, "He is as timid as a mouse. He is always used to taking one step at a time and watching the next three steps. He will never push himself into a desperate situation at any time."
"I will send shadow guards to search first." Mu Hanye said, "Sunset City is surrounded by vast deserts, and we may encounter the border troops of the Seven Absolutes at any time. It is not easy to smuggle a person. If Uncle Wang was really kidnapped, he is most likely still in the city."
Wong Tai Sin nodded and gently massaged his temples.
In the next few days, the shadow guards of the Qi Jue Kingdom searched the city secretly, but could not find any trace of King Anping. The shadow guards of the Zhui Ying Palace sent the vanguard team and the uncle and nephew Xie Jin back to the royal city to seek treatment from the imperial physician, and brought the letter to Yao Qian and Master Fan, asking them to find Yan Lao Er to discuss pretending to be a caravan and sneaking into the Qi Jue Kingdom. At the same time, they sent a pigeon to Ye Jin to find out what the poison was. Mu Lieyan also followed the secret guards back to Sunset City, firstly because he cared about his father, and secondly because... he wanted to see more of Oliver.
Knowing his relationship with Asher in his heart, Mu Lieyan didn't think much about it, but he really liked it and thought it would be nice to see him more. But Palace Master Qin obviously didn't care whether he wanted to watch or do something else. He rarely let Oliver go out in the first place, and this time he wanted to stay at home every day for fear of letting others watch.
His man is really perverted... Shen Xiaoshou was filled with emotions!
However, although I protested slightly in my heart, after all, now is not the time to lose temper. Moreover, apart from the Black Stone House and Black Stone Road in Sunset City, there really wasn't much to visit, so I was barely obedient. I just read books, made tea, and chatted with Wong Tai Sin every day. My days were quite leisurely.
Of course, it would be more leisurely if the gangster could stay away from us.
"Put your son down!" Oliver was filled with indignation.
"No." Asher refused.
"Chiu!" The furry ball put its two little paws together and was lifted into the air by its father. The little black bean's eyes were shining - is it going to be thrown high?
It's so refreshing.
"The Demon Sect is not as despicable as you!" Shen Xiaoshou was furious.
"That's right." Palace Master Qin was very proud.
Oliver was speechless and choked, could he be a little thinner-skinned?
"Either roll up your clothes and let me k!ss your belly, or I'll throw my son out." Asher said, "There's no choice." It was very cold and ruthless.
Oliver wanted to pat him on the head.
Palace Master Qin remained unmoved.
"Then just throw your son out." Oliver gave up on himself, "It's not like he hasn't been thrown out before anyway." He should be used to it by now.
The fur ball happily spreads its little wings and has a cute expression.
Then the next second, it was thrown out by its father.
Then the next second, its mother was carried to the bed by its father.
The secret guard closed the window for the two people while feeling heartbroken.
In broad daylight, is that okay?
"Get up!" Oliver protested.
"No." Asher put his hand into his pants, "touch your bu.tt for me, there's nothing to do anyway."
Oliver was dizzy, exhausted and angry.
"Tender." Palace Master Qin described the feeling truthfully.
Shen Xiaoshou's ears are red, you are so tall!
"Ling'er Ling'er." Asher k!ssed him on the ear, his intention was obvious.
Can't we wait until night... Oliver didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt like a big dog was licking him, from his lips all the way to his neck, and finally rubbing his collarbone.
Oliver accepted his fate and closed his eyes waiting for the next step.
Asher didn't move for a long time.
"Huh?" Oliver opened his eyes in confusion. It's not efficient, young hero. Normally, it would have stayed in the stomach right now!
"Did you hear any sound just now?" Asher asked.
Oliver said honestly, "I heard you panting." Rogue.
Asher laughed, "I'm telling you seriously, did you hear the piano?"
"The sound of a piano?" Oliver pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a long time, "No, did you hear it wrong?" After all, this is a military camp, how could there be any lascivious music.
Asher frowned slightly, and after listening for a while, he felt that there seemed to be no sound. So he continued to act like a hooligan and reached out to press the small spot on his chest.
Oliver dragged a blanket over to the side, covered her face with it, and let him bite her chest, humming slightly.
But before he could even utter a sound, Asher stopped moving again.
...
Young hero, don’t be like this! Shen Xiaoshou was very dissatisfied. The service was not professional at all and he would definitely not make any money.
"You really can't hear it?" Asher asked again.
"Piano sound?" Oliver still shook his head, "Really, there isn't any, and it's impossible. Are you too tired recently?" Auditory hallucination or something.
There was still some doubt between Asher's brows, so he simply sat up and continued to listen attentively.
Oliver was lying on the bed in dishevelled clothes and looking very charming. She felt a little embarrassed because her man was wearing a shirt and said nothing, and his expression seemed a little melancholy.
So as a professional actor, the slogan of the men's hospital in his previous life flashed through Shen Xiaoshou's mind like a god - the pressure of long-term kidney deficiency made Lao Qin unable to raise his head in front of his wife.
The picture is really similar!
