Although Qi'an is located in the Eastern Wilderness and is constantly at war with Dayan, it is far beyond the thirty-six cities of Mobei.

In the vast desert, there is a single oasis city, located in the central heart of Mobei.

From a distance, the walls look thick and the buildings are mostly built with stone and wood, like a winding dragon, resisting the invasion of wind and sand.

At this time, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind and sand are everywhere.

The sun was scorching the earth like a fireball, and the yellow sand was shining golden under the sunlight, as if covered with a layer of gold powder.

In this vast and desolate land, there is endless yellow sand, dotted only with tough poplar trees and drought-resistant grasses, appearing exceptionally tenacious.

Under the sky, there were bursts of soft ringing of camel bells. Gems sparkled on the top of the camel cart. Half of the car body was hollowed out, and the roof was supported by a mahogany carved carriage, and it was decorated with red curtains embroidered with pearls hanging down.

There are wind chimes hanging on the car windows, which make crisp sounds whenever the wind blows, adding a bit of vitality to the desolate desert.

The person sitting inside was Luo Fengji.

Her flowing hair was fixed with a dragon-shaped jade hairpin, and she wore a shimmering brocade dress that was dazzling against the golden sands of the desert.

From the front, the camel-drawn carriage was heading towards the city, led by a group of handsome men and beautiful women. They were all dressed in loose robes and colorful headbands, making them a real eye-catcher.

But if you go around behind it, you can see two people tied to the back of the camel cart. One of them is a young man. His snow-blue robe is stained with sand and dust, and his lips are chapped, obviously due to excessive thirst.

The tall, English man next to him had a simple and honest face and was also extremely haggard.

A gust of wind and sand blew by, clearly without much force, but the man still staggered and fell forward.

"Ah, Yu!"

Hua Jianbai's steps were not very steady, but he gritted his teeth and withstood the invasion of wind and sand.

Perhaps he was too tired, but Pu Boyu rolled down. The slope of the desert was not steep. When he fell to the bottom, his limbs became weak and he was unable to get up.

"Hey, you bitch, if you don't give us water, we can't move on."

"Hua, aren't you alright? Tell your friend not to pretend to be dead."

Luo Fengji said coldly, and when his eyes fell on him, there was no mercy or compassion in his eyes.

Among the handsome men and beautiful women in the sedan chair, one person had been following the sedan chair for a long time. At this time, he finally couldn't help but remind him: "Young Master, it seems that he really can't hold on anymore..."

Luo Fengji raised her eyebrows, and a hint of impatience flashed in her star-like eyes.

"Pretending."

As she drove forward, Hua Jianbai lost his balance and almost stumbled.

Pu Boyu was dragged directly on the sand, and his clothes were slightly worn out.

"water……"

He managed to utter a sound.

"Wow, you bitch! Are all you spiritual practitioners bullying others like this? I told you to stop, did you hear me!!!"

Luo Fengji raised her eyebrows, and suddenly whipped the camel in front of her, causing the carriage to speed up immediately.

Hua Jianbai was pulled so hard that he staggered and fell to the ground. Even though he held on for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore, just like Pu Boyu.

The scorching sun burned my skin, but I didn't feel any pain. I just felt dry mouth and tongue. After being roasted, I actually felt a little cold.

Luo Fengji hadn't heard any scolding for a long time, so he stopped the carriage, glanced at him with his eyes slanted and said:

"Hana Mitsuhashi, aren't you a very good talker? Why don't you curse at me anymore?"

Hua Jianbai certainly wanted to curse, but at this moment he had a mouthful of sand and his consciousness was gradually becoming blurred. Everything in front of him became distorted, and the sound of the wind in his ears became distant and blurry.

"Hua?"

Perhaps because he hadn't made any movement for a long time, Luo Fengji was really afraid that he would die.

Then he raised his hand and ordered his men to put the two men on the camel and give them some water.

Across the desert, the group marched in a mighty procession. After about an hour, the sedan chair had arrived at the magnificent city tower.

The three words "Cangming City" are written in capital letters on the city wall with a majestic stroke. The high stone walls are majestic and solid, as if they can withstand thousands of years of wind and sand.

This place is not like the Central Plains, nor is it like Nanzhao.

There were many pedestrians, both men and women were wearing colorful exotic costumes. When they saw the sedan chair, they all crossed their hands in front of their chests and saluted.

Walking into the main urban area, most of the buildings are of strange shapes and styles that blend the ruggedness and mystery of exotic areas.

If you look down, the most prominent building is a huge palace with multiple floors, which looks like a work of nature and is so ingenious that it surpasses all expectations.

That is the royal city. Outside the royal city is the West Market, where there are luxurious places in the corners.

The roof of the temple is covered with magnificent golden glazed tiles, shining brightly in the sun, like stars in the sky fallen into the mortal world.

A gilded plaque hangs high above the door lintel, with the words "Luo Mansion" written in large, flamboyant characters.

This is the Luo family. The Luo family clan lives in the central area of ​​Cangming City. When the head of the family was alive, he was always deeply favored by the emperor and accompanied the prosperity of the family.

But now that the head of the family has passed away, the third uncle in the mansion has taken over his position temporarily. Although it is not as powerful as it used to be, the Qi'an clan is still a big one.

Luo Fengji's carriage stopped here. Countless tall people holding crescent moons saluted her. Surrounded by a group of handsome men and beautiful women, she swaggered into the Luo Mansion.

In the courtyard, the branches of the fruit trees on one side are full of ripe fruits.

In the corner, several grape vines were winding up. Hua Jianbai was pulled here by a camel in a daze, and he could only hear someone talking.

"Feng Ji, you're finally back. Let me see if you've lost weight..."

The man's voice was very low. Through the hump of the camel, he saw a man in a dark sandalwood robe coming towards Luo Fengji.

He was roughly middle-aged, with a handsome demeanor, a pair of slanted eyebrows, and eagle eyes with a gleam of brilliance, giving him a sense of majesty without even being angry.

The man looked as if he had met a younger person and smiled kindly.

Luo Fengji nodded slightly and said, "Uncle, how is Auntie these days?"

The middle-aged man said: "It's still the same..."

"Remember Huai,"

Another soft call came, and a woman with flowing hair came slowly towards them.

"Ji'er has returned home, why didn't you tell me?"

Although her face was a bit weathered by time, she was wearing a light purple dress with silver sequins, and she still had charm despite being a middle-aged woman.

Luo Jianyu is the third wife of the Luo family. She invited her son-in-law into the house, but she didn't care much about the affairs of the house. Therefore, now, Shen Jihuai can be regarded as the real head of the family.

Shen Jihuai then stepped forward and said, "Hey, Madam, aren't you not allowed to come out and see the wind..."

"Third aunt."

Luo Fengji was wearing a golden shirt. When he saw her, he placed one hand on his chest very respectfully and bowed slightly.

Luo Jianyu covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly a few times, then said, "Ji'er, you've been away for a long time. I'm glad you're back now. It's been a long and windy journey. Your third uncle has prepared a banquet to welcome you tonight."

Her voice was like breaking jade, but it was clear and melodious.

Luo Fengji's rebellious expression subsided a bit and he said, "Thank you for your concern, Third Aunt. However, these matters are not urgent."

After he said that, he signaled the handsome men and beautiful women around him to lead the camels into the mansion.

Only then did Luo Jianyu see that there were two people on the camel. If he had not looked carefully, he would not have noticed them.

Shen Jihuai's gaze also fell on the camel.

He found one of the young men, wearing a snow-blue robe, sleeping with his eyes closed.

"This... looks so familiar, could it be that little thief?"

"good."

Luo Jianyu was somewhat surprised when he heard this, and asked hesitantly, "Ji'er, did you really find the person when you went to Dayan?"

Luo Fengji nodded, and then said to the middle-aged woman: "Third Aunt, there is no time to lose, let's go and ask Madam Jiang Zhu to come and get it."

Shen Jihuai just waved his hand lightly as a command.

He added, "But Ji'er, Madam Jiangzhu has gone to the palace and hasn't returned to the city yet. I'm afraid we'll have to wait another two days."

"Uncle, two days are just right. I still need to interrogate this thief."

As soon as Luo Fengji finished speaking, he heard an insult.

"You...your uncle..."

Hua Jianbai opened his eyes when he was pulled off the camel. He was in a daze just now and heard these people chatting for a while, saying that they wanted to get something.

"I'm not a thief, and I didn't steal anything from you... This is illegal kidnapping, and there's no law..."

"Whether he is a thief or not, your words don't count!"

"Damn pervert!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Jianbai cursed weakly, his anger not dissipating at all.

Luo Fengji disliked this person's noise and said, "Shut up, you little bitch!"

She waved her hand, and a faint green light flashed before her eyes, making her sleepy. Before Hanamibai could finish her words, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
