Chapter 347 [Finished! Connection Failed!]
Sheng Zhixing turned his head and met a pair of exotic amber eyes.
A man with a white veil covering his face approached him with a silver dagger in his hand. He was wearing a turban, and the white veil hanging from the turban covered most of his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with very fair skin. He wore a loose silk light yellow robe, a pair of lightweight bell-bottom pants, and a pair of boots made of special material. His body was covered in sand.
Sheng Zhixing realized that this person might be the reinforcement the king invited from the distant desert tribe!
At this moment, he had no way to retreat, and he didn't know how skilled this alien man was. If he rashly started fighting with this alien man, he would probably alert the enemy!
But fortunately, he still has the identity of an old man to cover up.
He quickly put on a panicked expression, his eyes wide open: "Young man, I just stumbled into this place by mistake, and came to see if there is anything I can find here!"
When carrying out the mission, Sheng Zhixing was deliberately disguised. His gray hair was messy and his clothes were very worn, making it easy for people to mistake him for a homeless person at first glance.
The alien man's voice was inquiring, and his amber eyes narrowed. "Are you a scavenger around here?"
Sheng Zhixing nodded quickly and took out all the rags he had prepared from his pocket - conchs, shells, useless copper coins, and dried kelp scraped off the rocks -
The foreign man looked at him with disgust and moved away from him.
Sheng Zhixing's mind was racing at this moment. This foreigner didn't look like someone from the Great Sheng area at all, and he came from a very far place, possibly not even on the same continent. So why did he speak the Chinese language so fluently?
Sheng Zhixing's clever mind suddenly realized that this person was probably also a member of their class! He just transmigrated into a different race! So although he looked foreign, he was fluent in Chinese.
Sheng Zhixing quickly said the code: "Odd changes, even remains unchanged——"
His heart was pounding with anticipation.
Hahaha, that's great! The foreign reinforcements the king invited are actually from his own class! How can this not be considered shooting oneself in the foot?
It’s stable!
This is a sure thing!
However, Sheng Zhixing, who was secretly delighted, heard the foreigner say in confusion:
"What's that chicken or dog?"
In an instant, a shower of cold water poured over Sheng Zhixing's excited heart.
Huh? No, they are from the same class?!
Are they just foreigners who are proficient in Chinese?
But how come he can speak it so fluently, just like his mother tongue?
It’s over!!!
The alien man narrowed his eyes and grabbed Sheng Zhixing's arm: "What are you talking about?"
He recalled that what the old man had just said seemed like the first half of a sentence, and might very well be a slogan.
The man's aura suddenly became dangerous, and his eyes, sharp as an eagle, swept towards Sheng Zhixing: "Are there any of your companions around here?"
"What companions? I'm just a wandering old man, how can I have companions?"
Sheng Zhixing is walking on thin ice. This tall guy has well-developed limbs and a smart mind!
Such a keen sense of smell.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Sheng Zhixing knew that he could no longer rashly use street codes or make various hints to modern people, otherwise it would only make this person more suspicious!
"Since you are alone and have no one to rely on, then come and join us."
The foreign man took out a bundle of thin ropes from his waist and bound Sheng Zhixing's hands. "We just need a local who is familiar with this area."
Sheng Zhixing was taken away by foreigners.
Sheng Zhixing used the group chat camera to take a picture of the alien's appearance and attire and sent it to the group, then frantically tagged Jiang Lili and Wen Qiao for help.
@Sheng Zhixing: Li Li, I was taken away by the reinforcements the king sent for! He looks very Middle Eastern, white, but speaks Chinese fluently. I suspect he's one of my classmates, but I used the code "odd changes, even remains unchanged" and he didn't understand. It's so strange! How could someone of a different race speak Chinese so fluently?
@Wen Qiao: Don't panic! Just follow him and see where he takes you. That'll help us infiltrate the inside and learn more about the situation. If you run into danger, we'll immediately send you a weapon that can kill them all!
@Sheng Zhixing: Okay, maybe I'm just overthinking it. Perhaps this foreigner has spent a long time in Dasheng or a nearby country, and has a strong linguistic talent, so he speaks Chinese as fluently as his native tongue.
When Jiang Lili saw the message sent by Sheng Zhixing, she suddenly remembered something very crucial!
There were twenty-eight students from their class on the bus, but there were actually twenty-nine people!
There is also a bus driver!
@Jiang Lili: Could it be that the driver also traveled through time? Did he forget or never learn the math slogan "Odd numbers change, even numbers don't change"?
Jiang Lili's words awakened Sheng Zhixing.
@ShengZhiXing: That's a possibility! But I can't rule out other possibilities. Anyway, I'm not going to contact him for now. I'll just have to adapt to the situation.
Jiang Lili worriedly reminded Sheng Zhixing to be careful and pay attention to safety, and then asked Xiaopang to go with the organization to investigate the identity of the bus driver with the bus company.
In the afternoon, with the coordinates provided by Sheng Zhixing, Jiang Lili and Xin Che successfully led the herdsmen to find the mudflats where Xiya hid the horses.
The members of the royal guard who were guarding the mudflat were extremely surprised to see a large group of herdsmen coming to them, but they were outnumbered and had to give up struggling when faced with the aggressive Jiang Lili and others.
The herdsmen were completely disappointed with the king at this moment!
Because in the warehouses and sheds on the mudflat, they not only found the horses that had been missing for several days, but also their stolen property.
It is now clear who set the fire on the mountain.
The herders pulled the horses, missing for days, one by one from their sheds on the mudflats, tears streaming down their faces. Their ancestors had nurtured the purebred bloodlines for so many years! After so many days of disappearance, they were finally found!
When the horses saw the herdsmen who fed them day and night, their tails kept sweeping. They were in an unfamiliar environment these days and had no herdsmen to take good care of them.
They can't eat or sleep well, and now they look listless and in very bad condition.
An hour ago, Wen Qiao took the memory card from the surveillance camera in the king's room and gave it to Xiaopang.
At this time, Xiaopang's assistant checked the surveillance video and extracted the conversation between the king and the prime minister. He learned that these horses were a trap set to lure them into the desert and ambush by foreigners. He quickly asked Xiaopang to notify Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili immediately urged these unarmed herdsmen to leave the mudflat.
