Chapter 320 [Missing]

@Liao Ji (Leader of the Yuanbao Gang): I'd like to share it with you! How?

Just as the old man and the young boy were joking around, Zhang Xiaopang announced a piece of important news in the group.

@张小胖: I asked my assistant to review the surveillance video installed in the room of the King of Mi. The King and the Prime Minister were very cautious in their conversation. They should be in a place we don’t know.

However, there is always a loophole. In their daily conversations, the king and the prime minister mentioned the Hena Desert.

Jiang Lili was surprised when she saw the news: "Henna Desert?"

"Could it be that they have called in reinforcements from the desert to deal with us?"

Jiang Lili asked Xin Che, and he said he had never heard of this place name. "I know all the big and small countries around Dasheng, but I have never heard of this place. I guess it is thousands of miles away from Dasheng."

Sheng Zhixing sighed, "That's quite far! The king has really invested a lot of money this time!"

Master Liao stroked the pony's fur and asked in confusion, "I'm curious how they met."

Wen Qiao sat on horseback, looking at the mountain road ahead, and said leisurely: "As an island country, Miguo has many ships coming and going. There are always ships from far away that accidentally come here and establish contact with them."

"Yes, according to history books, Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty sailed as far as the east coast of Africa and the Red Sea."

Sheng Zhixing compared the location on the map according to his memory: "It's not surprising that the royal family of Miguo can connect with the people in the desert."

"When the enemy comes, we will stop him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth."

Jiang Lili pondered, if these reinforcements were coming from the desert, they wouldn't be good at water battles, right? They might even be landlubbers. But they had Wen Qiao with them, so she wasn't worried. "I want to see who they can summon."

Xin Che thought of Jiang Lili and his accomplices' plan to conquer the vast expanse of the world and murmured, "Perhaps this time we can follow the clues and go to the desert where this group came from to see if there are any opportunities."

Xin Che's words reminded Jiang Lili and the others, and they all began to get excited and try: "I heard that the desert is rich in minerals and we can pan for gold."

"Then we'll just wait for the fish to bite."

The road on the mountain gradually became brighter and wider. Two hours later, Jiang Lili and his group arrived at Panyue Grassland with some navy.

Surrounded by mountains, vast green grasslands stretch along the mountainside.

Golden sunlight penetrates the thin clouds and pours down from the blue sky. Occasionally, birds fly across the sky, and the tips of the grass are glowing in the sun.

But there seemed to be something missing in such a vast grassland.

"Wait, where are the cattle and sheep? Where are the horses?"

Jiang Lili glanced over and saw that the grassland was empty. As she walked forward, she would occasionally encounter one or two cows or sheep.

"What's going on?"

Xin Che tugged at the reins of the tall white horse beneath him and said, "Let's go to the pasture where the herdsmen live first."

He arranged the Xin family army in advance, found out the situation, and brought everyone to the pastoral settlement.

Unexpectedly, there were so many herds of cattle, sheep and horses here. They were all temporarily penned up and huddled together in one place, looking very crowded.

Wen Qiao looked at the animals huddled together and asked, "Why are they all locked up?"

Jiang Lili frowned slightly: "I guess something happened."

When everyone was confused, a figure ran towards them from a distance. It was a tanned, short herdsman.

He was wearing a short shirt and a gray linen scarf around his waist. When he saw Jiang Lili, dressed in snow-white clothes, on horseback, his eyes lit up and he shouted behind him, "Great! The goddess has arrived with the divine envoys. We are saved!"

Wen Qiao looked at the simple herder and asked, "Are you a herder from here? What happened here? Shouldn't it be time to graze the cattle? Why are all these animals kept together?"

After listening to Wen Qiao's questions, the herdsman told them one by one. His name was Xiya. His ancestors had lived in the Panyue grassland for generations. He was a herdsman with a long history here, a good horse trainer, and was recognized as the big brother by these herdsmen.

"Our Panyue Pasture has a long history and excels in breeding and selecting high-quality cattle and sheep, and raising purebred BMWs."

Xiya's brows were filled with worry. "You may not know, Lord Divine Envoy, but in the past few days, we have lost 32 Horse King-level BMWs. These are the highest quality purebreds that our ancestors have spent hundreds of years selecting."

Jiang Lili and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Thirty-two of such a precious herd of horses were lost in one go?

"If we can't find it, then our ancestors' centuries of hard work will have been wasted." Having said this, Xiya's face was filled with guilt: "It's all my fault. I didn't keep a good eye on it."

In the distance, a group of herders approached Xiya at his call. They tried to comfort him, "How can this be your fault? Those Moon Tribe members are just too overbearing and powerful. How can you, with your tiny body, stand up to them?"

"The bottom line is that after the Goddess took over the Seashell Ranch, the royal guards were forced to withdraw. It was during this gap that these barbarians took advantage."

Jiang Lili and others were surprised to hear these herdsmen say that the horses were stolen by the Moon Tribe who lived in seclusion on the top of the mountain.

Hearing the herdsmen's doubts, Xiya shook his head in disapproval and looked at Jiang Lili and her group with hope: "The gods are very powerful. There must be a way to find the lost horses."

Being looked at by Xiya with such enthusiasm, Jiang Lili, Wen Qiao and the others did not respond directly.

Xin Che's face was solemn, and his tone was full of authority as he asked, "Are you sure it was the Moon Clan who came down from the top of the mountain to the mountainside and stole these thirty-two horses?"

The herdsman who had just spoken lowered his voice unconsciously, stiffening his neck and saying weakly, "What else? Is there anyone else on this mountain?"

"Did you see with your own eyes that it was a member of the Moon Clan?"

Xin Che's question stumped the herdsmen. After a moment's hesitation, they replied, "We only saw a few tall, powerful figures, but they also dropped their usual animal bone daggers!"

The herdsman who was speaking took out a handkerchief, and inside the handkerchief was a dagger made of animal bones with obvious signs of use.

Wen Qiao dismounted and took the dagger. It was indeed the animal bone dagger commonly used by the Moon Clan.

Another herder pointed to the path leading up the mountain and said, "Also, there's a long trail of horse hoof prints extending from the pasture to the top of the mountain... They must have been left by our thirty-two horses!"

"Perhaps after a hundred years, the Moon Clan in the mountains have become accustomed to a secluded life and are preparing to come down the mountain and gradually conquer our Mi Kingdom."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became noisy.

Many herders showed panic on their faces.

Their fear of the Moon Clan in the mountains has been going on for a long time. Generations of people have lived under the shadow of the ferocious Moon Clan.

The herders still remember how the royal guards were pierced by arrows and spears before they could even reach the top of the mountain.
