Peng Mu and his group left the sea and headed north, intending to return from the direction of Xingnan Kingdom, which was unexpected by everyone.
At this moment, Xue Qianyu has been in Langge Kingdom for a month. He has also found Lu Zheng's mark, the last mark being in a fishing village.
It took him three days to learn from Miss Jiang in the fishing village that Lu Zheng and his group had asked for camels.
At this moment, he was all alone, with nothing in his hands, and the desert was unknown to him. He dared not venture into the desert rashly.
He did manage to make contact with Xie Nanfeng and the other spies who had been sent, but Xie Nanfeng had their own mission to complete, so he couldn't let Xie Nanfeng and the others go with him to the desert to find Lu Zheng.
On the evening of the seventh day of the second month, Xie Nanfeng's men secretly came to find Xue Qianyu and told him that there was a caravan from Langge Kingdom heading to Yunhai Tribe. Xue Qianyu could go with the caravan, and that going to Yunhai Tribe would require crossing the desert.
However, it's uncertain whether the journey will be safe.
Xue Qianyu thought about it all night and finally decided to go. He went to the merchant's warehouse that Xie Nanfeng's subordinate had mentioned, took the identity and household registration given to him by the subordinate, put on ordinary laborer's clothes, and volunteered to be a porter.
Because he had practiced martial arts for many years, his hands were calloused and his skin was not fair to begin with. He also put some effort into his clothes and hair, so no one suspected him and hired him.
After moving goods in the warehouse for several days, Xue Qianyu set off with the caravan.
The owner of this house was surnamed Zhu. He did not do business in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but instead collected goods in the Kingdom of Langge, crossed the desert, and sold them to countries in the west.
Not only did he have caravans crossing the desert, but he also had fleets of ships. The sea stretched westward, where there was much land, far inferior to Lange and the land west of the desert.
Listening to the caravan's various chatter along the way, Xue Qianyu gradually integrated into the group. He would occasionally ask some trivial questions about the tribes and countries west of the desert, and those who knew would tell him.

By mid-February, Gu Xin felt it was time to release Ali.
As a result, as soon as it appeared, it circled high in the sky, let out a cry, and flew eastward.
Gu Xin was so frightened that she wanted to chase after him, but Cheng Huaijin stopped her: "Are you stupid? He's flying in the air. You probably won't even be out of sight before he flies away from the palace gates. Don't worry, Ali is very smart and won't get shot again."
Gu Xin sighed: "He even promised Uncle Jun that he would cure Ali. If something happens to Ali, Uncle Jun will be heartbroken when he comes back."
As a result, every so often, Ali would return, carrying a letter in his mouth, and deliver it to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin opened it and saw that it was a letter that Ali had sent to Kuncheng. It was injured before it could be delivered, and it probably fell on its way back after encountering danger. It was rare that it remembered where it fell and even managed to pick it up.
"Brother Xiao Jin, does this mean that Langge Kingdom doesn't know I'm in Liusha Kingdom, so we'll have more time?" Gu Xin asked happily.
"Hmm. So she wasn't picked up by the people of Langge Kingdom! Ali is really clever." Cheng Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Xinxin, I'll have someone inform our godfather. According to his previous plan, he should be in Yingchang Kingdom right now, only two days' journey from Liusha Kingdom, not far. Once he knows this news, he won't be in such a hurry, and he won't be forced to agree to anything."
