Chapter 60 Yunya Town
Fifteen days later, Wen Yingxue and his group finally left the border of Daqing Dynasty and entered the northwestern desert area.
The Gobi Desert was endless and the climate was dry and windy. When Wen Yingxue stuck her head out, she was immediately covered in yellow sand.
"Puh! I got a mouthful of sand." Wen Yingxue frowned and stroked her face.
Looking at Nie Chubai, Wen Yingxue asked, "Where are we now? Is it far from Eagle King Village?"
Nie Chubai was holding two maps in his hands, looking down to compare them. After a while, he looked up and said, "I guess we still have to walk a little further to get there."
Wen Yingxue nodded, then carefully recalled the passage she had read in the book.
The book does not describe in detail where the Eagle King's Tomb is. It only says that Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan, along with a group of people, found the Eagle King's Tomb after going through many hardships.
Now Wen Yingxue only knew that the Eagle King’s Tomb was under a dilapidated sand city.
However, it does not seem easy to find this dilapidated sand city in the vast desert.
"Master, there is a small town ahead. It's getting dark soon and the desert is very cold at night. Let's rest here and replenish supplies before setting off again." Ji Yan said outside the car.
"Can."
The town is called Yunya Town. It is built around an oasis.
The town streets are bustling with people coming and going, dressed in all kinds of clothes. I think Yunya Town should be the only small town nearby. People traveling to and from the desert use it as a transit station.
Wen Yingxue and her group entered the town without being noticed.
After finding an inn to stay in, the group finally had a normal meal.
Wen Yingxue had been wanting to eat something different since she had been eating either barbecue or dry food every day.
After dinner, everyone's clothes looked like they had just been washed, but they couldn't take them off, otherwise they would get sunburned.
Back in the room, Wen Yingxue leaned against the window and watched the people passing by below, which she found quite interesting.
She had never been to the desert before, and now looking at it, she felt it was quite novel.
"Nie Chubai, let's go out for a walk. I want to go out and take a look, and buy some clothes for walking in the desert." Wen Yingxue said.
If we go into the desert again tomorrow, we won’t be able to ride in a carriage anymore. I guess we won’t even be able to ride a horse. We’ll have to use a camel instead.
In that case, you must wear sunscreen, otherwise you will definitely get tanned. And it will be cold at night, so you need to buy a cold-proof cloak.
"Let's go, I'll accompany you for a walk." Nie Chubai nodded, then took Wen Yingxue and Zi Su out.
Guan Ziming and Ji Yan were going to buy supplies and herbs, while Wu Nan was watching things in the inn.
"Oh no! The sun is so strong outside. Can't we go later? What if I get tanned?" Guan Ziming looked at the scorching sun outside with a look of rejection.
Although it was sunset, it was still very hot.
Wu Nan curled his lips: "Are you a woman? Women don't cherish your skin as much as you do."
The two women present, Wen Yingxue and Zi Su, looked at each other and said in unison, "No, we actually care about it too."
Guan Ziming approached the two of them as if she had found a sister, and said, "Right! Right! I feel like my skin has become much rougher these past few days."
Hearing this, Wen Yingxue looked at Guan Ziming carefully.
Guan Ziming is really good-looking, but he doesn't look like a man. He has a feminine appearance, with fair skin, red lips, white teeth, and a pair of fox eyes. He looks a bit like a fox that has become a spirit.
However, his reaction time was a bit slow, and he often seemed dull. That was why Wen Yingxue had always ignored his appearance and only saw his somewhat silly nature.
"Shut up! Buy the things quickly and then I can deal with you." Ji Yan looked at the bright sun outside and felt a little unhappy. He grabbed Guan Ziming's collar and dragged him out.
"Oh! Don't pull me! Can't I go? I can hold an umbrella, right?" With that, Guan Ziming ran back, took an oil-paper umbrella, and went out again.
Ji Yan clicked his tongue.
Wen Yingxue turned around and patted Nie Chubai on the shoulder with a sympathetic look on her face. Nie Chubai was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I feel like it's not easy for you to lead this group of idiots."
Nie Chubai smiled.
Wu Nan was unhappy: "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about? Although we are in the Killing Heaven Pavilion and there are a few idiots, I am definitely not one of them."
Wen Yingxue gave him a fake smile, saying perfunctorily, "Well, you're not."
Nie Chubai took Wen Yingxue's hand and said, "Okay, let's go shopping too."
The three of them strolled around the town for a while before Wen Yingxue felt her skin sting from the sun. She immediately regretted not following Guan Ziming's example and holding an umbrella.
Seeing the ready-made clothing shop, Wen Yingxue quickly pulled Nie Chubai and Zi Su in. Once inside, they immediately felt much cooler.
Even Nie Chubai breathed a sigh of relief.
In the clothing store, most of the items sold were white, loose-fitting clothes that could dissipate heat easily. As for capes, there were many of them, made of all sorts of materials.
Wen Yingxue fell in love with a black fox fur cloak at first sight, which really suited Nie Chubai.
"This looks good. Do you want to try it?" Wen Yingxue turned to look at Nie Chubai beside her and asked.
Zi Su took a look and her eyes lit up.
"Master, this dress really suits you."
Seeing Wen Yingxue and Zi Su looking at her with sparkling eyes, Nie Chubai felt a little headache.
"Then let's buy this one." Nie Chubai said.
Then Wen Yingxue and Zi Su went to pick out their favorite cloaks. Finally, it was Ji Yan, Wu Nan, and Guan Ziming's turn to pick out their own, and Nie Chubai paid for them.
After buying the items, as the three of them just walked out of the clothing shop, Nie Chubai quickly grabbed Wen Yingxue, winked at Zi Su, and the three of them slipped into a small alley.
"What's wrong?" Wen Yingxue asked Nie Chubai who was secretly looking outside.
Nie Chubai hissed, jumped onto the roof, and soon jumped down again, saying, "I saw the guards beside the fifth prince, Xiang Yi."
"Since the guards around the fifth prince are here, it means Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan have also arrived." Wen Yingxue clenched her fists, and started to fight against the protagonist's halo from now on.
After a while, the group finally passed by.
"Let's go back to the shop and change our clothes first. They are in the light and we are in the dark, so we can't let them find us." Nie Chubai said.
The three of them returned to the clothing store, changed into local clothes, and then left again. Then they went straight back to the inn.
Not long after the three of them came back, Ji Yan and Guan Ziming also came back. As soon as they entered the door, they said that they had met Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan.
"Has he been discovered?"
Ji Yan and Guan Ziming shook their heads.
Nie Chubai stood up and said, "Let the secret guards follow them and see which inn they stay at."
"Yes." Ji Yan stepped back.
