Conspiracy

Chapter 631

The third day of winter.

desert.

Mo Shen, who was alone, entered the desert and met a caravan, which happened to belong to He's firm. Apart from He Jingyuan and his entourage, Pei Shaojun and Tang Zhixing were also in it.

There is no doubt that they all want to find the legendary Hua Manqi, perhaps for the elixir of life, perhaps for endless wealth, perhaps for the army of undead.

But she is here to find someone, as for other people's thoughts, it has nothing to do with her.

It's just that she has never set foot in the desert, and the people of He's firm have been traveling all year round. Following them will definitely avoid many troubles.

Just when she was thinking about how to persuade the caravan, that playboy He Jingyuan took the initiative to invite him warmly.

In this way, she doesn't have to waste any more words.

After walking in the desert for seven or eight days, they were lucky, and they did not encounter disasters such as sandstorms and firestorms.

Although the journey was uneventful and there were plenty of dry food and water, but during the day we walked through the boundless yellow sand under the scorching sun, and the cold at night was unbearable.

Sitting on the camel, Mo Chen watched the sunset dye the yellow sand. In this boundless sea of ​​yellow sand, even the willows faded from green and turned yellow.

The fine sand was stirred up by the slight whirlwind, and they seemed to be on fire in the heat wave.

Mo Chen wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, habitually opened the water bag, shook it, and the sound of water was very soft.Taking a sip, he closed the plug again.

"Miss Mo Chen, here you are."

A familiar voice came from behind, and Mo Shen turned his head to see that it was Tang Zhixing.

With a bright smile on his face, he held a water bag in his hand and wanted to hand it to her.

After walking in the desert for many days, their skin was inevitably tanned. Perhaps because of this, the young man in front of him seemed a little different.

"Thank you, no need."

"Girl misunderstood, this is new, I have never used it!"

Mo Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "In the desert, the source of water is your second life, so keep it for yourself."

"But girl. That's fine. If the girl is thirsty, she can come to me at any time."

"Hmm! Thanks a lot!"

Tang Zhixing put away the water bag, cupped his hands at her, and then slowed down his camel.

Listening to the sound of the camel bell 'jingling', Mo Chen couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face.

almost!We are almost at Huamanji!As long as you find Su Zhen, you can meet him!
At this time, there was a loud voice behind them.

Everyone looked around and found that He Jingyuan had a dispute with the leader of the caravan, Meng Kaide.

Actually these days, the two of them would quarrel and quarrel from time to time, and it was nothing more than trivial matters.

After all, He Jingyuan is a pampered young master. In this desert, he is probably the only one who is still skinny and tender.

In him, they can't see the words "thrifty and frugal", only "spend and spend".

Originally, the water brought by the caravan was enough for them to use for two months, but now it will almost bottom out in about seven days. This is all because He Jingyuan wasted water.

If they can't find Hua Manqi again, they will have to die of thirst together!

But today seems to be a bit different, Mo Shen vaguely heard words such as 'cut off', 'sell', 'ghost obsessed' and 'regret'.

After whispered by others, she learned that He's business bought the roots of Wuxi wood in Pei Shaojun's hands at a high price, but Pei Shaojun also put forward another condition, that is, let him and Tang Zhixing follow He's caravan desert.

However, after He's firm bought the roots and hairs of Wuxi wood, He Jingyuan was so greedy for profit that he divided them into hundreds of shares and sold them in his own auction house. Not only did he get back the capital, but he also made a lot of money.

The roots of Wuximu were originally meant to guide them to Huamanxi, but at this moment, the rest of their hands were only about the size of a finger.

The smaller the root, the weaker the induction.

But they have gone deep into the desert, if they can't find it, they probably won't be able to go back.

At this moment, He Jingyuan heard a group of people yelling beside his ears, and couldn't help shouting impatiently: "Anyway, the young master has already cut up, sold the things, and got the money. It's useless for you to talk nonsense!"

Meng Kaide was so angry that he pointed at his nose and cursed: "You little bastard, I will ask your father to peel your skin after I get back!"

He already looked fierce and vicious, and he had a beard on his face. When he was angry, he seemed to want to eat people.

"Hmph! You are just a dog raised by my father! What are you? How dare you scold me! Besides! Even if I don't cut it, do you think you can compete with He Liang and Huo Ji? I'll find some more People passing by can be regarded as giving us a little more support!"

"How dare you talk nonsense! Do you believe that I will kill you?!"

"Hit it! Hit it! If you have the guts, beat me to death! See if my father can spare you!"

Seeing that the crowd could no longer hold back He Jingyuan and Meng Kaide, the two wiped their sleeves and were about to fight, Mo Chen couldn't help shouting, "Enough! Stop!"

After following the caravan for many days, it was the first time for her to speak out on her own initiative.

When He Jingyuan heard Mo Chen's coquettish shout, most of his anger disappeared immediately, he pushed everyone away, and approached Mo Chen with a flattering smile: "Miss Mo Chen, don't be angry, let's stop arguing."

"He Jingyuan, show me your roots."

"This"

"No! Can't give it to her!"

He Jingyuan was still hesitating, but Meng Kaide directly refused for him.

"Uncle Meng, what are you in a hurry for? I'm a little girl, and I can't run away in the desert. You might as well show me, maybe I can find the entrance of Huamanqi."

"You little girl, you don't want to deceive people here! You can fool that stupefied young man He Jingyuan with just a few tricks of yours!"

"Hey! I said you have a big beard, who do you look down on!"

"Brat! Shut up!"

Mo Chen stared at Meng Kaide arrogantly, while the latter looked back at her with ferocious eyes.

Pei Shaojun suddenly said: "Everyone take a step back, since this root is from my hand, I naturally have no intention of possessing it, then Uncle Meng might as well trust me once, and let Miss Mo Chen take a look."

"You want to vouch for her?"

"That's right, if she doesn't return it, you will take my life."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, Mo Shen was very touched, and smiled gratefully at him.

"Okay! Since Mr. Pei has said so, I will believe you once."

Anyway, this thing is about to expire, even if Mo Chen takes it away, it will be of no use.

He Jingyuan thought as he did, took out a small wooden box from his cuff, opened the lid, revealing a small root.

It was just a quick glance last time, but after seeing the real Wuxi wood branches, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
