The two looked around in a panic, but saw nothing.

Xixi was unaware that Chen Cong and her grandmother had overheard her muttering and were anxiously frowning.

[Oh no, at this caravan's speed, they'll arrive here in less than 15 minutes.]

Most importantly, they needed the caravan's camels; without them, the rest of the journey would be even more difficult.

Thinking about this, she became very irritable, kicking her little legs and making babbling noises.

Grandma Zhu obtained some key information from her granddaughter intermittently, mainly about the caravan and Zhu Yanyan.

She summarized the information she had gathered, and the gist of it was that Zhu Yanyan had brought a caravan over.

If that's the case, then our idea of ​​going to the post station in batches is no longer feasible.

Chen Xiang also heard the hints about Zhu Yanyan and the caravan, and looked at Old Lady Zhu as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Grandma Zhu, based on my years of experience traveling between the border and the capital, there are usually caravans crossing the desert."

"I want to take some people to patrol the area and see if we can find any caravans. Caravans use camels to transport goods."

"If we happen to encounter a caravan, perhaps we can offer to buy the camels with silver."

These remarks made Old Mrs. Zhu ponder for a moment before she slowly offered her suggestions.

"We can only buy two: one camel to carry goods and one camel to carry people."

"Camels travel faster than horses in the desert, which may buy us more time."

Halfway through her sentence, Old Lady Zhu's face suddenly turned grim, and she sighed as she reminded her, "However, I am also worried that you might encounter Zhu Yanyan on the road."

"Don't worry, strenuous exercise in this desert will cause dehydration and weakness. If she really comes along, she probably won't dare to make any rash moves."

Chen Xiang wasn't afraid of using force against Zhu Yanyan and her group; he was only worried that Zhu Yanyan would secretly sabotage their purchase of camels.

With Chen Xiang's explanation, Grandma Zhu felt much more at ease and silently nodded in agreement.

“Alright, I’ll go find the caravan. The rest of you, reload the supplies.”

When Liu heard that her mother-in-law was going to leave the group alone, she panicked and grabbed her hand, trying to persuade her in a low voice.

"Mother, no! You're old. What if you suffer heatstroke and faint on the way back and forth?"

"Don't worry, Mom isn't that fragile."

Old Mrs. Zhu was worried about this issue, which is why she didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to leave. She had lived most of her life.

She had long since accepted life and death; her son and daughter-in-law were young and needed to live well.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly handed her granddaughter over to her daughter-in-law.

When Xixi heard that her grandmother was going to look for the caravan, she wanted to go with her. She deliberately burst into tears after leaving her grandmother's arms.

【Xixi wants to go too, I want to protect Grandma.】

[With Zhu Yanyan in the caravan, Xixi is worried that her grandmother will be bullied.]

Liu held her daughter in her arms with heartache and gently rocked her body, but she found that no matter how she tried to soothe her daughter, she wouldn't stop.

She could only look at her mother-in-law and ask worriedly, "Mother, does Xixi want to stay with you?"

She was actually reluctant to let her daughter leave, but if Xixi could help her mother-in-law, she could only hand her daughter over with a heavy heart.

Grandma Zhu also heard her granddaughter's chattering voice, sighed helplessly, and lovingly hugged her in her arms.

"Alright! Xixi will go with Grandma then."

Chen Xiang did not object to Zhu Xixi going with him; on the contrary, he felt that with her by his side, perhaps both of them could come back alive.

"Grandma Zhu, let's go!"

With her daughter-in-law's help, Grandma Zhu put Xixi in a bamboo basket, picked up the basket, and followed Chen Xiang in the direction they were heading.

Xixi easily rolled over inside the bamboo basket and looked out, trying to find Zhu Yanyan and the caravan's whereabouts.

[Found her! The caravan is now only five or six hundred meters away from Grandma.]

The accompanying officials all took off their official robes and changed into ordinary clothes.

It seems she's trying to use this opportunity to become acquainted with the caravan and find out the whereabouts of the treasure.

The book provides a detailed description of Zhu Yanyan's journey into the desert, including her encounter with a caravan.

Using modern resources, they gained the trust of the caravan and later obtained clues about the treasure of the Loulan ruins from them.

After finding the treasure, her journey in exile was even smoother, and she lived a life of extravagance all the way.

They arrived at the border in less than a month, thanks to the relics of the Loulan princess among the treasures.

She made the Loulan people mistakenly believe that she was the daughter of the Loulan princess, even though Zhu Yanyan knew that the Loulan people were all well-known merchants in the area.

He then readily admitted to being a remnant of Loulan and, with the help of the Loulan people, quickly established his own empire.

[Damn it, if Zhu Yanyan finds the treasure, Xixi's family will have no way to survive.]

No, Xixi absolutely cannot let this happen.

In order to prevent Zhu Yanyan from obtaining clues about the treasure, Xixi rolled over, curled up in the bamboo basket, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Grandma Zhu and Chen Xiang both kept Xixi's words in mind, after learning the purpose of Zhu Yanyan's trip.

The two men's mood grew heavy. They knew better than anyone that if Zhu Yanyan were allowed to grow stronger...

They will only become lambs to the slaughter.

Thinking of this, they quickly quickened their pace and headed in the direction Xixi had indicated.

Xi Xi also entered the space and anxiously went to the projection wall, looking for clues about Zhu Yanyan.

As a result, they unexpectedly saw familiar images on the projection wall.

She tilted her head curiously and leaned closer to stare at the screen.

Isn't this Zhu Yanyan's space? Why is Zhu Yanyan's space appearing on the projection wall?

Out of curiosity, she stretched out her foot, only to be bounced back by a force.

She blew on her chubby little feet, crying out in pain, "It hurts so much!"

She flew angrily to the projection screen, her thin eyebrows furrowed, and she made a thoughtful expression.

How strange, she can see but can't go in?

Why is she on the projection wall? Is she trapped somewhere?

To test his idea, Xi Xi rubbed his hands together and rushed towards a rice and grain store.

She thought she couldn't get in like before, so she used all her strength.

However, it easily entered the frame, and because it sprinted too fast, its little head bumped into the cylinder.

She clutched her head in pain and looked around blankly. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She simply took out her bracelet and put the granary inside.

Before leaving, she glanced at the large golden characters displayed above the grain depot.

[The residence of the treacherous minister Li Ning.]

Only after confirming that he was a treacherous official did she feel relieved enough to return to her spatial dimension.

After returning to her space, Xixi went directly to Zhu Yanyan's space screen, observed it for a long time, and tried to move the screen.

To my surprise, the image could be freely shrunk without becoming blurry.

She excitedly spun around a few times, and after her initial excitement subsided, she switched the camera to show the bottled water, compressed biscuits, canned meat, and other cooked food areas.

He carefully placed the bracelet in front of the screen, then stared curiously at the cooked food on the shelf.
