Murong smiled and raised an eyebrow: "Now, I just regret letting that damn Yang Yi die too easily. It was just a poison, was it really so disgusting? Not to mention the extremely bad poison, even the antidote requires a lot of effort. It's really hard for us to go through so much trouble."

Seeing Murong Xiao's furrowed brow, Qian Yeming felt extremely sorry. In order to collect his seven antidotes, Xiao'er had indeed suffered.

But he had already promised her that he would never say anything polite in front of her again, so he could only smile and say, "Forget it, don't be angry. You got a little glutton last time you went to Wanling Mountain. Maybe this time at the oasis, you'll get something else unexpected."

Murong Xiao curled his lips and said, "Any other gains? I don't care about anything except the Black Jade Grass! But if we can really find the Loulan Underground Palace and move everything in it back to Nanyue, then this trip won't be a waste."

Qian Yeming flicked Murong Xiao's forehead and asked lovingly, "Money-grubber, it's said that the floor of the Loulan Underground Palace is paved with gold bricks. Why did you bring so many treasures back with you?"

"Who would complain about having too much money? With money, we can recruit soldiers and horses. When the treasury is full, we can do more livelihood projects that benefit the people."

Qian Yeming gently placed his chin on Murong Xiao's shoulder and called out softly, "Xiao'er."

"Um?"

"I think you are really very suitable to be the queen who rules the country!"

After following Qian Yeming for so long, Murong Xiao was quite proud of her improved ideological awareness. "I just want to be a woman who doesn't worry about money. The civil unrest caused by Murong Qingyu will definitely bring disaster to the people. If the underground palace is real, and we can take some wealth back from it, then post-war reconstruction will not be a problem."

After she finished speaking, seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Murong Xiao shrugged and called the person who was leaning on her shoulder back from his wandering thoughts: "Why don't you say anything?"

"say what?"

"Let's discuss the issue of post-war reconstruction!"

"Let's talk about it after the war."

Murong Xiao pouted her red lips and said reproachfully, "How irresponsible! Isn't South Vietnam yours?"

"Nanyue belongs to Qianye's family, and for me, I only have you!"

After hearing Mr. Mo's story about the strangeness of the oasis, his mood soured. Thinking of the mythical beast Xiao Tao and the strange birthmark, he had a vague feeling that the strangeness in the desert might be related to his Xiao'er...

The team continued to move forward, and when they were about five days away from the oasis, the vision finally appeared.

As the sun sets, the golden sun is about to disappear into the horizon, and the sky is blue. A faint crescent moon slowly rises from the east, and on the eastern and western horizons, the sun and moon appear at the same time.

Since they had entered a dangerous area, the leaders of the four major families almost simultaneously asked everyone to set up camp early.

Although everyone camped together, the divisions of the camps were still very clear: the Su family and the Gong family camped together, and the Han family and the Mo family camped together.

Just as everyone had firmly pitched their specially made desert tents and started cooking, a thick and strange black cloud came from the north and south.

"Stop cooking! Stop cooking immediately! Everyone, group up into groups of ten, and get into the tents!"

Countless desert mercenaries rode camels and shouted around the tent.
