Chapter 488
The next day, after Xuan Jue and Chu Jin settled down with Empress Dowager Zhang and their sons and daughters, they continued to head north.

In order to speed up the journey, instead of choosing a comfortable but slow carriage, they bought a horse and rode together at a gallop.

Along the way, Xuan Jue made a detailed plan for his daily travel route, where he would rest today, and where he would go to eat local food tomorrow, all of which were clearly arranged by him.

Chu Jin said: "We left the palace to enjoy life, why are you so meticulous, aren't you tired?"

"Not tired." Xuanjue Yibi looked at the cowhide map, and Yibi smiled back to Chu Jin's words, "Take Jin'er out, of course you can't make Jin'er suffer a little bit. If you don't plan carefully when going to the north If you don't enter the city at night, you have to camp and sleep in the wild, so I don't want to be bitten by those mosquitoes."

He changed a serious expression, but the end of his brows was twitching uneasily: "Jin'er's body is fragrant, and those mosquitoes will definitely eat Jin'er's body after smelling it!"

? ? ? ?
Who is greedy and who has no idea?

Talking and laughing all the way, enjoying the beautiful scenery and tasting delicious food, the boring journey became more interesting.

Playing all the way, I arrived at the Kurgan Desert more than half a month earlier than expected.

The Kurgan Desert is located in the extreme north of Dazhao, and after traveling for three days from here, they arrived at the former site of Youdu.

The vast desert is glowing with scorching yellow, and the sand waves are surging forward one by one, like an invisible giant hand, peeling off one layer of the desert and another layer.

At a glance, there are only sporadic willows dotted in the boundless sea of ​​sand.Other than that, there is no life left.

It was almost dusk when Xuan Jue and Chu Jin arrived here, but the sun was still hot.

The scorching heat wave swept across every inch of the land, and the rolled up gravel slapped on the human skin. The faint pain and the suffocation brought by the strong wind were daunting.

Rushing into it, I'm afraid they will get lost in this vastness before they find the grotto.

In desperation, they had to turn back to the nearby village first, and find local residents familiar with the terrain to take them to the grotto.

After the owner of the hotel who was staying at the hotel knew the purpose of the two, he introduced a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old for the two of them, and the owner called him Darong.

Darong was not tall, his figure was a bit hunched, and he looked listless.

The boss murmured something in his ear, and a starlight flashed in his eyes, and he ran up to Xuan Jue, licked his smiling face and asked, "Is there really 20 taels of silver?"

Xuan Jue smiled, "Naturally."

Da Rong rubbed his palms excitedly, and said repeatedly: "Have a rest overnight, and we will set off with the two noblemen in the morning."

Perhaps because of the proximity to the Kurgan Desert, this village is also very dry.There are only three wells in the village, and everyone eats water from these wells.

The well water has a strange smell and tastes very astringent.

There was a lot of wind and sand at night, and even if the windows were closed, fine gravel would still be swept into the room through the cracks of the windows.

Facing such a strange and harsh illusion, Xuan Jue and Chu Jin both lost sleep.

Xuan Jue asked Chu Jin, "Do you think Cheng Ge and Zhao Sijin will still stay around here now? The old site of Youdu is a memory for Zhao Sijin, but there are no people living in that area, and Zhao Sijin hates it. After poisoning Jiang Mubai, she probably won't go back. Cheng Ge said that he would live here for a while. He heard from the boss that there is only this village near the Kugan Desert. Maybe he and Zhao Sijin once lived here Why don't we ask the boss tomorrow if he has seen Cheng Ge?"

Facing Xuan Jue's question, Chu Jin seemed a little curious.She snuggled into Xuanjue's arms and asked softly: "You are considered generous among men. Although there is no relationship between me and Brother Jiang Liu, how can a man tolerate another man's treatment of himself? Why is this woman so good? You are not jealous, but you sing songs one by one, and you are more intimate than me."

"Why should I be jealous? What are you jealous of?" Xuanjue asked back, "Is it jealous that he saved you? Or is it jealous that everything he did was for our consideration? If I can't even tell the good from the bad, I'm not worthy of being a slut. Husband."

Chu Jin really stuck him too close, making his hands unconsciously start to do some movements that I can't fucking write. I'm really drunk! ┓(`)┏

Early the next morning, Dayong came to look for Xuan Jue and Chu Jin, and led them to the grotto deep in the Kurgan Desert.

On the way, Xuan Jue chatted with him.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that you are the most connected person in your village?"

"Of course!" Darong patted his chest proudly, and said, "Everyone in the village knows me, and I'm the only one in this village who knows how to take a shortcut to the grotto!"

"Has there ever been a man and a woman in this village? They are also going to the grotto. The man is called Gu Chengge, and the woman is called Zhao Sijin?"

"No." Dayong answered Xuan Jue's words without thinking. Xuan Jue couldn't help being suspicious, and joked: "Little brother, you can answer me without even thinking about it? It seems that you have a good memory."

Darong smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with a good memory. In the past three years, only you two outsiders have come to our village, and you are the only ones going to the desert grotto. How can I not remember?"

only them?

Xuan Jue and Chu Jin looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

So, Gu Chengge and Zhao Sijin didn't come here?Have you ever been to the Kugan Desert?
But in the letter they sent back, it was clearly mentioned that they were going all the way north. The last letter also said that they would reach the Kugan Desert in seven or eight days. How could Da Rong not have seen it?

With this doubt in their hearts, the grotto duo naturally lost the mood to go.

After returning to the village, with the help of the shopkeeper of the restaurant, they questioned many people, and all of them said that they were surprisingly consistent with Dayong. No one had ever seen Gu Chengge and Zhao Sijin.

An ominous premonition rose in Chu Jin's heart, "Will they be in danger?"

Xuan Jue smiled and waved his hands, "Although Cheng Ge has lost his spiritual power, he still has boxing skills. With his kung fu, more than a dozen people can't surround him. What can happen? Let's not scare ourselves." Well, maybe I found a better place and settled there. Like us, didn’t we pass by Taohua Village and decided to live in that place? We’ve traveled around for a while, so we decided to live there It is very normal for a destination to change temporarily.”

Xuan Jue analyzed with Chu Jin for a long time before letting her let go of her worries.

The New Year's Eve is just a few months away, if there is any delay on the way, the first New Year's Eve after leaving the palace will not be a reunion year with the family, so the two decided to set off and return to Taohua Village. Gu Chengge and Zhao Sijin, there will always be time and opportunities to meet again in the future.
