The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 649 Chu Liuxiang is full of questions
In the original novel, Chu Liuxiang saw the note left by Black Pearl. Chu Liuxiang, who didn't know that Black Pearl was a woman, really thought that Black Pearl had kidnapped Su Rongrong and the other two girls.

So he hurried to Ningxia, but met Hu Tiehua before entering the desert.

Hu Tiehua knew the dangers of the desert, so he took Chu Liuxiang to find Ji Bingyan, who was a wealthy man in Lanzhou at the time.

The wild geese and butterflies are their wings, and the world is filled with the fragrance of flowers - the trio of Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan is complete.

Ji Bingyan is an old hand at walking in the desert and has a deep mind. Based on Chu Liuxiang's description, she judged that Black Pearl might have kidnapped Su Rongrong and the other two girls and wanted to lure Chu Liuxiang into the desert to harm him.

——If you want to kill Chu Liuxiang who is invincible in water, the natural way is to lead him to a vast desert without water.

So, Ji Bingyan took the stone camel who was familiar with the desert and Xiao Pan who was familiar with human culture, and together with Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua, they hid and sneaked into the desert.

As for Black Pearl's pearl colt, it was left with a farmer outside the desert.

As a result, they were targeted as soon as they entered the desert.

First, two people pretended to be in distress to gain Hu Tiehua's sympathy, and then they suddenly attacked and pierced all their kettles.

Later, they encountered the five tigers of the Peng family being poisoned to death. A group of men in black appeared and robbed the Star of Bliss and left. They followed them all the way, but found that these men in black had been silenced, and the mastermind behind the scenes was Shi Guanyin.

Shi Guanyin was insidious and vicious, so she left a pot of meat soup for them. They almost fell into her trap, but Xiao Pan, who was well versed in the humanities of various tribes, was poisoned to death.

Finally, relying on the experience of the stone camel and sucking the wet sand all the way, they found the oasis. Chu Liuxiang was worried that there was an ambush in the oasis, so he explored it alone.

So, Chu Liuxiang went through untold hardships and survived a near-death experience, and finally met Jin Banhua who was fishing and playing with a beauty by the lake.

……

Princess Pipa looked at Chu Liuxiang, then at Jin Banhua, "Who is he?"

Jin Banhua said, "His status is similar to Situ Liuxing's, except that Situ Liuxing is a lone thief who is feared by both sides of the Yellow River. He is a lone thief who is feared by the world."

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but touch his nose. He now had a lot of questions to ask Jin Banhua.

But before he could speak, Jin Banhua spoke first, "It seems that you haven't been doing well since entering the desert?"

Chu Liuxiang looked at himself, dressed as a desert businessman, covered in sand and looking dirty, and then looked at Jin Banhua, who was wearing a royal blue satin shirt with gold inlays, and the mental state of being accompanied by a beauty.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but sigh, "It's true that life is not that good."

"Don't say I don't take care of you. The King of Kucha is hosting a banquet in his big tent right now. There are barbecues, fine wines, music and dance." Jin Banhua said with a smile, "I am a distinguished guest here. I can take you there. Do you want to go?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded immediately, "Yes, I really do."

Chu Liuxiang did not reveal the whereabouts of Hu Tiehua, Ji Bingyan and others because he was not sure whether this oasis was a trap.

Although Jin Banhua looks like a dandy and harmless boy...

But who knows whether Black Pearl is keeping him in the dark or is in cahoots with him?
Su Rongrong and the other two girls were indeed kidnapped by Black Pearl. Even Jin Banhua had admitted this. He also came to the desert with them and suddenly appeared here.

Would a playboy from Beijing who can't stand hardship go into the desert with nothing to do?
Considering that several people were almost killed by Shi Guanyin, how could Chu Liuxiang not be on guard before he knew the relationship between all this?
So Chu Liuxiang followed Jin Banhua and Princess Pipa to the big tent.

The guards in front of the big tent did not pay attention to the sudden appearance of Chu Liuxiang, because he came with Princess Pipa and Jin Banhua, and they knew the martial arts of these two people.

Before entering the big tent, Chu Liuxiang had already prepared himself mentally. Maybe he would see the kidnapped Su Rongrong and the other two girls and the Black Pearl sitting in the tent, maybe he would see the cruel and beautiful Shi Guanyin...

But the situation in the big tent was exactly the same as Jin Banhua said.

A middle-aged man in a red robe and wearing a golden crown sat in the main seat, hugging a beautiful woman and urging her to drink.

Five gorgeously dressed Central Plains warriors sat scattered around, clinking glasses and drinking happily.

Several musicians are playing music and several dancers are dancing.

The atmosphere in the tent was relaxed and cheerful, in stark contrast to Chu Liuxiang's experiences over the past few days.

When they saw Princess Pipa and Jin Banhua, both the King of Kucha and the Central Plains warriors raised their glasses to greet them.

"My dear daughter, you are finally here!"

"Did you sleep well last night, sir? It's cold in the desert at night, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Hello, Mr. Jin. I just said I would come and invite you, but the guards said you were taking a walk with Her Royal Highness the Princess, so I didn't dare to disturb you."

Chu Liuxiang glanced around at the expressions of these people and could not see any signs of falsehood.

Could it be that Jin Banhua is really the VIP here?

Princess? The one following him was actually the princess of the Kingdom of Kucha?
but……

He was just a playboy from the capital, how could he become the guest of honor of the King of Kucha, have the Princess of Kucha accompany him, and have these martial artists who seemed to have strong martial arts skills treat him with courtesy?
Could it be that the King of Kucha is also related to the black pearl?
But when he mentioned the black pearl in front of Jin Banhua, the Princess of Kucha did not show any surprise, so she probably didn't know it, right?

Chu Liuxiang had more questions in his mind, but he remained calm and smiled at Jin Banhua, "I didn't expect you to live so comfortably in the desert."

"Of course!" Jin Banhua said proudly, "I am wealthy, skilled in martial arts, handsome and elegant. I am popular everywhere. Isn't that natural?"

Chu Liuxiang glanced around inconspicuously and found that everyone in the tent had a matter-of-fact expression.

"Come, come, come, take your seats." The King of Kucha invited Jin Banhua and Princess Pipa to take their seats, then looked at Chu Liuxiang and asked Jin Banhua, "I wonder who this gentleman is..."

"His name is Chu Liuxiang. He is in the same industry as Situ Liuxing and is also a lone thief." Jin Banhua introduced.

The King of Kucha did not react, but the faces of the five Central Plains warriors present all changed color.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree; the thief walks on the moon, leaving a fragrance in the dark at night. Chu Liuxiang is definitely a famous and prominent figure in the world.

"I didn't expect that the famous Chu Liuxiang would also come here." Situ Liuxing said.

Du Huan glanced at Jin Banhua without leaving a trace, and said to Situ Liuxing, "He is in the same line of work as you, so naturally he will go wherever there is money."

Situ Liuxing smiled slightly and said nothing.

At this moment, a burst of scolding and cursing came from outside the tent, as well as a rude and heroic voice, "Old bug! Where are you?"
