Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 309 Where is the Treasure ([-])
The group traveled day and night, but they arrived in the Western Regions in the spring of the second year. In that unique place, Huo Mingzhu and Baili Jingqi lived a year of their own.

They threw themselves into a small farmhouse and, as husband and wife, welcomed the New Year together with the owner of that farmhouse. People in the Western Regions were cheerful and generous. On New Year's Eve, all the men and women of the whole clan dressed brightly and danced and danced around the fire to their heart's content.

Huo Mingzhu liked this kind of atmosphere very much. As the subjugated princess of the Hanhai Kingdom, this scene was full of sorrow and joy. She drank heartily all night, and was already too drunk to wake up before it was late at night.

In this atmosphere, Baili Jingqi, apart from eating meat and drinking together, was also inquiring about the Hanhai Kingdom that disappeared in the desert.

Back then, in that battle, the small Hanhai Kingdom was destroyed, and the ruins of the Hanhai Kingdom were buried in yellow sand long ago in the center of the sandy desert. Now, when people talk about the Hanhai, they all shake their heads and sigh.

When it comes to the road to Hanhai, no one is willing to lead the way. It is said that it is a road of death. People who go there will never return. Everyone is telling that it is the soul of the people of Hanhai. Those who go to disturb their cleanness will die in that piece of yellow sand.

Having said this, Baili Jingqi's eyes flashed brightly.

The Lantern Festival has not passed yet, Baili Jingqi and his group continue on their way, because they have arrived in the Western Regions, so they will not even pass the Lantern Festival if they are stranded after the New Year. There is only one point of danger in the capital.

Whether Cao An can cope with such a long time, no one can say for sure, although before Baili Jingqi left, he dismissed all the concubines in the harem, and the excuse he held was that Concubine Li gave the love potion. The love potion hurt the dragon's body, and it was an excuse to shut up those ministers who opposed it.

However, the world is unpredictable, and what will happen is unpredictable. Therefore, the shorter the time to come out, the better.

"Master, we are camping here today, and we will enter the desert tomorrow. Horses are not suitable for moving forward. We can only ride in on camels." Jian Jian stood beside Baili Jingqi, facing the faintly visible On Huang Sha's beautiful face, there was a trace of eagerness.

Baili Jingqi glanced at her, then turned to Huo Mingzhu on the other side and said, "Are you afraid, Ah Jin?"

Huo Mingzhu thought it was funny, if she was afraid, she would not be Huo Mingzhu, so she smiled at Baili Jingqi and said nothing.

Seeing her appearance, Baili Jingqi also secretly laughed, this woman, if such a little yellow sand can scare her, she is not Huo Mingzhu, what do you think she has done?He stumbled the Huo family, got rid of Prince Duan, and became the empress dowager, with such scheming and means, so possessive and conspiratorial, how could Huang Sha be able to scare her? Also, he was attached to her, so he naturally treated her as a weak person guard.

Baili Jingqi didn't communicate with Huo Mingzhu too much, and turned to Jian Jian again and said, "In that case, let's set up camp here today, and we'll set off tomorrow."

When the silver light of the white moon sprinkled the ground, the group of six people had already sat around the fire, comforting themselves by roasting meat, thinking that tomorrow they will enter the desert area, and it will be extremely difficult. If they don’t take the opportunity to eat well, eat well Drink it, there will be no such good days to live after tomorrow.

Maybe they all have such an attitude. A large piece of beef was divided among the six people, and everyone still looked dissatisfied. Meat."

Huo Mingzhu said with a smile: "If you don't have a good meal and build up some strength, when you enter the desert tomorrow, you won't have the strength to go on your way."

"Is it possible that I will still make you hungry?" Baili Jingqi glanced at Huo Mingzhu, a little amused.

Everyone is no stranger to it. These two people have always been so close for the past six months, as if they were an old couple who have been married for several years, yet they still love each other as newlyweds. Especially Su Yu, after the initial shock, , followed by joyful acceptance.

Huo Mingzhu said with a smile: "Of course the master won't let us suffer, but the master is not a saint, and there are situations that we can't take care of. Let's be more prepared, we will never go wrong."

Fang Tieyi and the others completely forgot their identities when they saw these two people, and they didn't remind them, as long as they knew that their duty was to protect Baili Jingqi and Huo Mingzhu.

After eating and drinking, Fang Tieyi kept vigil while the others rested. Huo Mingzhu and Baili Jingqi lived in a tent, and she hid in Baili Jingqi's arms, very sleepy.

"Ah Jin, go to sleep, I will protect you from tomorrow on." Baili Jingqi was also very worried, this trip was full of dangers, and Huo Mingzhu was the one on top of his heart, if there was something wrong with her , What should he do? In this way, reassuring in her ear is also convincing himself that there is no need to worry. The person he protects with his life will definitely be fine, but he didn't take his own safety at heart.

The night was charming tonight. On the edge of the empty desert, the fires were burning vigorously at the positions of the tents. The man sitting by the fire looked very difficult to mess with, but there were many people who were not afraid of death.

Surrounded by several people from all directions, with the tent as the center, they kept shortening the distance. When there were only a few meters away, the masked people in black stopped, and the leader walked over quietly, closing his eyes. The resting Fang Tieyi dangled around, and after realizing that Fang Tieyi was already in a deep sleep, he waved to the people behind him.

At this time, Fang Tieyi opened his eyes, put the dagger in his hand on the neck of the man in black and said, "Your Excellency is visiting late at night, and we are far away."

"You, you didn't sleep." Fang Tieyi frowned as the person who came spoke with a thick western accent.

He was thinking, where did the group of them attract the attention of these people, their carriage?Is that just an ordinary carriage, or the appearance of the three women?Not to mention Sulu, the looks of the other two are indeed capable of driving people crazy. If someone looks at them and falls in love with them, it is not impossible to snatch them with a big price.

"We have no grievances with you, why did you attack at night?" Fang Tieyi stood up, hugged the man to his chest, looked directly at the other men in black, the dagger in his hand was still pressed against the man in black Let the other men in black see, if they dare to act rashly, they will send this person to hell.

Although the man in black was surprised at first, he didn't look scared. He said to Fang Tieyi: "My life is not important, you kill me now, or you will regret it."

As soon as the words were finished, those men in black suddenly roared and rushed forward, regardless of the life and death of the man in black who was being held hostage. Fang Tieyi's face froze when he saw it.

Encountering such a desperate gangster, he could only use violence to control violence. At that moment, the dagger in his hand severed the neck of the man in black, and the man in black fell to the ground and died.

However, the other men in black had already arrived, and the opponent Tie Yi besieged him.

The men in black were divided into four and attacked the other three tents respectively, one for Baili Jingqi and Huo Mingzhu, one for Jian Jian and Sulu, and one for Fang Tieyi and Feng Wei.

Fang Tieyi hurriedly yelled: "Master, madam, there are assassins." While shouting, he hurriedly retreated to Baili Jingqi's tent, but the group of men in black refused to allow him to do so and blocked him. Fang Tieyi had no choice but to kill the men in black before he could help Baili Jingqi.

In fact, Baili Jingqi's place is okay, and Huo Mingzhu's martial arts are also good. When Fang Tieyi shouted at the man in black, they had already heard the movement. After stabbing them, the two of them dodged in a calm manner, and then came out one after another, fighting with the man in black.

The most dangerous are Jianjian and Sulu.

The two women didn't have any skills in hands and feet, so weak they could only hug each other and scream. Fortunately, Baili Jingqi and Huo Mingzhu arrived in time, a group of four, plus Feng Wei who ran over from the encirclement .

Feng Wei, Baili Jingqi, Huo Mingzhu, the three of them surrounded Jianjian and Sulu to protect them, but the man in black was unable to succeed, and only fell down one by one. Sample.

Fang Tieyi also broke out of the siege and retreated to Baili Jingqi's side. He took a look at Sulu and found that she was fine, so he was relieved.

Baili Jingqi said to the men in black: "Who are you, and what benefits do you want from us?"

"We only want your lives." The man in black refused to say the reason, but he wanted to take people's lives in an arrogant tone.
