They passed through a small country
After Huyan Xun led his men inside, their group was soon joined by large flocks of sheep.
Huyan Xun never had to worry about eating meat in the Western Regions.
Qiu Yan, Qin Susu, and Ling Ba also made a trip into the city.
They bought some dry food and raw meat.
After emerging, we continued our journey.
Gradually, after the oasis, the yellow sand became visible.
They came to a desert.
"Another desert!" Qin Susu's throat went dry at the sight of the desert.
However, because of a remark by Huyan Xun,
"Once we cross this desert, we'll reach the Northern Desert." This made her very happy.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yan and Ling Ba's expressions relaxed.
Fortunately, they only had two horses; otherwise, they wouldn't have had enough water to keep them alive.
Before entering the desert, they prepared enough water and food to ensure a smooth passage.
Outside the capital of Qi,
Since the last battle, this place has been covered in a blackish-yellow hue, and not a single blade of grass has grown here.
Ling Qi stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance at the woman who was gradually walking towards him.
What are you doing here?
"Gu Qian... General Gu, how is he now? I want to see him and apologize to him." In the Dongjin camp, Feng Qi had no one to ask except Ling Qi.
She can't strike up a conversation with anyone.
"Apologize?" Ling Qi turned around, looking at the woman in front of him, the one he both loved and hated.
"Stop your hypocrisy!" Don't think he doesn't know what Feng Qi is thinking.
"Ling Qi, I'm begging you, please let me see him." Feng Qi desperately wanted to know Gu Qian's current situation.
"You should leave. If you don't, I can't guarantee that our soldiers won't kill you."
Even though Feng Qi helped them that day, the soldiers already harbored prejudice against her.
Especially, Commandant Qin...
"Feng Qi, you dare to come here!" A stern voice rang out. The moment Captain Qin saw Feng Qi, he couldn't stand the sight of her.
He swiftly leaped to Feng Qiling's side, his spear suddenly thrusting towards Feng Qiling's chest.
"Tell me, where is Qin Feng?"
Feng Qi stepped back without replying.
"Won't talk? Hmph, even if it's to the ends of the earth, I'll find him." Captain Qin had finally seen Feng Qi and already harbored murderous intent towards her, so naturally he wouldn't let her go easily.
Upon getting close, he threw away his spear and suddenly aimed his musket at Feng Qi's brow.
Thud...
Ling Qi, protecting Feng Qi, had already retreated far away.
"Ling Qi, she's a traitor! Why do you keep protecting her again and again!" Captain Qin was furious when his gun missed its mark.
Ling Qi opened her mouth, unsure how to refute it.
He leaned forward, pulling Feng Qi away from Captain Qin.
Lieutenant Qin was so angry at Ling Qi's actions that his face turned green.
"Are you gay? Why are you protecting her like this?"
He gave chase, but couldn't catch up no matter what he did. Furious, he cursed loudly on the ground.
"Ling Qi, how can you do this to the General?"
Ling Qi and Feng Qi took flight simultaneously.
They fell together into a thicket of bushes.
“Feng Qi, Captain Qin’s marksmanship is one in a million; even I am no match for him.”
He was only slightly better at light footwork than Captain Qin.
Feng Qi bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
The time she shed the most tears in her entire life was on the day her kingdom was destroyed.
The second time is happening now.
Ling Qi looked directly at Feng Qi's face and saw her tears; his heart ached.
She cried, but not for him.
He turned around and said, "Don't look for me again!"
Having said that, he tried to walk away quickly.
But Feng Qi grabbed him by the waist.
