When the team was about to set off, Lord Li rode on a tall camel, with an upright figure and sharp eyes, staring calmly and straight ahead.
His robe gleamed subtly in the scorching sun, and the official seal on his shoulder was majestic and could not be ignored.
At this moment, his nostrils flared slightly, he raised his head, and his hawk-like eyes locked in one direction.
The voice pierced the air like thunder: "Wang Laosan, come here!"
When Wang Laosan heard the sound, he was struck by thunder and trembled violently, and hurriedly put down the bag he was packing.
His hands were trembling slightly, and the smug look on his face was instantly replaced by panic.
Although he often pointed and talked in the crowd, feeling proud of himself, at this moment he could only run respectfully towards the source of the sound.
Lord Li is a big shot that he would never dare to underestimate.
When he came in front of Lord Li, he immediately lowered his head and leaned forward slightly, appearing very humble.
He raised his hand cautiously and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, feeling scared for his own recklessness.
The smile on his face became more and more flattering, as if he was eager to shirk all responsibility.
Lord Li leaned forward slightly, his gaze steady as a rock, his tone revealing undeniable pressure: "Wang Laosan, I heard that you and the Wei family have had quite a few conflicts, and even plotted to frame Madam Wei! Hmm?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Laosan felt an invisible pressure enveloping his whole body.
His back gradually became wet and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
In order to clear himself, he quickly explained: "Ah, it's nothing, my lord, you're worrying too much. That incident was just his wife Wei's instigation. I was confused for a moment, so..."
After saying that, Wang Laosan licked his lips nervously, secretly raised his head and glanced at Lord Li, but he didn't dare to look at him for long, so he could only lower his eyes again, his heart beating fast.
Lord Li sat upright on the camel's back, his posture straight and straight. Although his face showed no expression, he revealed an unquestionable majesty.
His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Those deep eyes stared at the desert ahead, their gaze penetrating layers of quicksand and dust, as if they could see through everyone's thoughts.
The corners of his mouth drooped slightly, revealing a hint of impatience and indifference.
When Lord Li slowly turned his head and glanced at Wang Laosan, that glance was like a biting cold wind, which made Wang Laosan's heart tremble.
He immediately felt that there was undisguised contempt in Lord Li's eyes, and this undisguised attitude made him feel like a thorn in his side.
Then he lazily withdrew his gaze and continued, "I don't care what grudges you had before, but I don't want any trouble to occur during this escort mission. If you dare to act smart, don't blame me for being rude."
Wang Laosan knew that Lord Li's words had ulterior motives. They were a reminder and a warning to him not to have any inappropriate thoughts.
He suppressed his anger, and after calming down for a moment, he replied respectfully, "Of course, of course. I will definitely do what Master Li ordered. Don't worry."
Although he agreed sincerely, there was an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.
He cursed inwardly, "Humph, if it weren't for these Wei family members, I wouldn't have ended up being suppressed like this!"
Wang Laosan had a grudge against the Wei family, so how could he let it go? He walked behind a group of officials, thinking about how to frame the Wei family again.
After Lord Li's reminder, Wang Laosan also completely understood that Lord Li looked down on him and that he was just an obedient dog that could be suppressed and insulted at will by Lord Li.
Thinking of this, Wang Laosan became even angrier, and he blamed all this on the Wei family.
If Su Huaiyue hadn't targeted him every time, he wouldn't have been warned by Lord Li!
This time he was determined to kill everyone in the Wei family at all costs.
After setting off, Wang Laosan deliberately adjusted his pace and walked to Lord Li's side.
He wore an ingratiating smile and tried his best to appear enthusiastic.
"Master Li, you've worked hard on this journey and you still have a long way to go. Please replenish your energy first."
Wang Laosan handed a package wrapped in brown paper to Lord Li.
Lord Li was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he reached out and took the package.
When I opened it, I saw some fresh and tender dried meat inside, which made me very hungry.
"Where did you get this?" Lord Li asked puzzledly.
Although he was reluctant to hand over the dried meat that he had treasured for a long time, he had no choice but to do so.
Wang Laosan grinned complacently and replied, "To be honest with you, Master Li, I hid this on my body before entering the desert, and I haven't finished it yet."
As he said this, Wang Laosan waved his hand generously, pretending to be indifferent, and signaled Lord Li to enjoy it.
Lord Li looked at Wang Laosan, who seemed to have changed his temperament, and nodded secretly, admiring his transformation.
This Wang Laosan really understands things quickly. Although he is not very smart, he is still a sincere subordinate.
"If you're thirsty, drink some water."
Lord Li nodded. He was indeed a little thirsty from chewing the dried meat, so he needed to drink some water to relieve himself.
Then, Wang Laosan attentively handed over the kettle. Since Lord Li was holding dried meat in his other hand and it was inconvenient for him to get water, he handed the compass to Wang Laosan.
After taking the compass, Wang Laosan secretly raised his eyebrows. It was so easy to get it.
He took the compass and secretly tampered with the pointer.
Wang Laosan smiled complacently and thought secretly in his heart: It will be time to take these people to where they should go.
Since the direction the compass points to is the correct direction, it fixes the compass in the opposite direction.
This means they won't be able to reach the next stop before dark.
And there are more opportunities to do it yourself.
Thinking of this, Wang Laosan became instantly excited.
After doing all this, he carefully handed the compass to Lord Li.
As the team moved forward, the sky gradually became gloomy, giving people a feeling of unease and depression.
Wang Laosan walked slowly in the center of the team, his mind full of sinister plans.
He hummed a little tune softly as if nothing had happened, and his plan gradually matured and took shape. He believed that his Tottenham plan was absolutely flawless.
Wei Zhi walked firmly beside Su Huaiyue, as if thinking about something.
He observed the actions of everyone in the team from time to time, especially Wang Laosan's sneaky behavior, which made him vaguely worried.
He asked in a low voice: "Mother, why does Wang Laosan always look a little strange?"
Su Huaiyue walked steadily, turned around when he heard the words, and vaguely felt something strange.
She said softly, "Just be careful about everything. Don't worry too much. Let's see what he will do first."
The team continued to move forward under the leadership of Lord Li. Wang Laosan took the opportunity to fetch water to secretly tamper with the compass, smiling triumphantly.
