no soul

"So this city only appears at night?"

"Aren't we going to find clues at night?"

"How do you sleep?"

"What should I do if I'm sleepy?"

"Sleep during the day and act at night."

"Where can I sleep? It's sparsely populated."

"The sky is sitting on the ground?"

"I can't sleep..."

"How can I sleep in the sun during the day, and look for clues at night."

"Then last night's money in the inn was wasted?"

"You still care about this..."

"..."

Everyone was discussing in the vast desert.

Lin Hong looked around and found that Yu Tianyi was not in the crowd, wondering why she was so elusive.

"Don't be impatient, everyone. When we are young, we will look for a place to rest during the day. We will see if the city will appear again at night. Then we will make a long-term plan." Fang Louxi comforted everyone.

It can only be like this now, and everyone has no objection to this.

"Some things happened last night, I believe many people were awakened?" Fang Louxi said.

"What's the matter?" Someone asked in a low voice, apparently from a deep sleep.

"There are assassins?"

"There are men in black running on the roof."

"Ah? Why didn't I know?"

"There was also a fight."

"Are you grabbing something?"

"I was too scared to go out."

"Me too, I saw it in the window."

"..."

Fang Louxi turned to Wan Guchuan and Cheng Jinjiu, "What did the two heroes find out after chasing them out? Why not tell everyone."

What should come will still come.

"This is the Diamond City in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. They came to transport diamonds. They didn't show me their badges before the battle last night. They shouldn't belong to the emperor." Wan Guchuan said succinctly.

"Diamond City!" Someone exclaimed, "Looks like this?"

"I saw it for the first time."

"really?"

"How did you know?"

"Because they took diamonds." Cheng Jinjiu added.

"Where is the diamond?" A man with a mole on his mouth focused on the diamond, "Is it because you took it?"

"I can't bring things back to the present world, so what are you using them for?" Someone rolled his eyes, "Don't be so weird here."

The man with the mole on his mouth curled his lips, "If you don't ask them, you won't tell, who knows..."

"Shut up, you. Didn't you sleep in the middle of the night last night?"

"You are not convinced, why didn't you chase them out last night?"

The man with the mole on his mouth was still thinking about it.

No one cares about this person anymore. Last night, many people saw that Wan Guchuan and Cheng Jinjiu were very powerful. They were completely unknown in this "Ghost Fang", and they didn't want to confront the strong.

Lin Hong touched his pocket while they were arguing. The diamond Wan Guchuan gave him last night was gone. It seems that with the disappearance of the city, things will also disappear and cannot be brought out.

Then the knife he gave to Wan Guchuan should also disappear.

"Diamonds are scattered all over the place," Cheng Jinjiu said, "You can go to the city to have a look tonight. I didn't bother everyone late last night."

"Hero Cheng doesn't need to explain, we naturally trust you." Fang Louxi said, "Did you two see the faces of those three people last night? Do you know who they are?"

"Never." Wan Guchuan said.

The appearance of these three people told everyone the true face of the city.

As Wan Guchuan said, they didn't show their imperial badges before the battle last night, so they are more likely to be thieves, but it is still unclear whether their theft has anything to do with the city and the grieving ghost.

This way is still not going to work.

"Let's go find a place to rest for the day together first," Fang Louxi suggested, "We will explore the rest tonight."

Everyone agreed to his suggestion and started trekking in the desert.

The daylight hangs high, and the boundless desert is not half shaded, and it is more magnanimous than people's hearts.

"Does everyone in the city know that this city is Diamond City?" a farmer asked as he walked.

"Can't you know everything?" The scholar replied, "There are also many outsiders in the city. This city of Kavantia is still a transportation hub, and people come and go. If they all know, wouldn't they be exposed soon?"

"Only some people should know that these people are the emperor's people, responsible for mining, handing over, and sending diamonds to the emperor." Ning Xiuyun guessed.

"Hiding in the crowd, can you find them?" Dai who was beside her asked her softly.

"It's probably difficult." Ning Xiuyun said.

"What if you accidentally find out?"

"Murder and kill?"

"You have to be extremely careful not to be discovered?"

"..."

Everyone was discussing as they moved forward.

"I think it's a bit strange," Lin Hong thought. "There is no historical record that Cavantia City is a diamond city. That is to say, it was not discovered by the people until it mysteriously disappeared."

Cheng Jinjiu thought for a while, "You can say that."

"But when we first came to this city, we discovered it." Lin Hong pointed at the vital point.

"Indeed..." Cheng Jinjiu touched his chin.

"This further shows that those three people are not the emperor's people," Wan Guchuan said, "they are not careful in their actions. There are many people coming and going in the city of Kavantia, and we must not be the only ones who know martial arts. If we act like them, we will have already exposed."

"So, they must not have acted many times and lack experience." Lin Hong concluded, "Then the problem comes again."

Lin Hong continued: "If the three of them are said to be thieves, how did they discover this secret when it was hidden so deeply in Diamond City?

And how did he find out who is the emperor's confidant in the vast crowd and get so many diamonds from them? "

"Unless their master is also a member of the court, and has a high position and authority, participates in political affairs, and has the opportunity to know the emperor's secrets." Wan Guchuan said.

"Yes!" Lin Hong thought so too, "So, was there any coup d'état during the Tianyun period of the Southern Zhou Dynasty?"

"You put it that way," Wan Guchuan thought, "it seems to be true."

"Did the 'Nujiang Incident' occur in the 23rd year of Tianyun?" Lin Hong suddenly remembered.

"It is it." Wan Guchuan said, "The regent's mutiny on the Nu River was suppressed."

"So, is it possible that the regent sent someone to steal the diamond?" Lin Hong asked.

Cheng Jinjiu listened to them talking, "But what's the point of him doing this?"

"Raise soldiers." Wan Guchuan said, "He needs gold and silver to raise soldiers."

Cheng Jinjiu didn't know about military affairs, "Is the regent still short of money?"

"The regent is not short of money, but the money is not enough to raise soldiers. Moreover, the emperor knows all about his expenses. If the salary given by the emperor is used, it is difficult not to find out about raising soldiers," Wan Guchuan said. "In contrast, hiring A dead man stealing diamonds and gold is less likely to be discovered, because anyone can steal diamonds along the way."

"I see." Cheng Jinjiu understood.

Lin Hong sighed, "An incident in the court can cause disturbances in this desert."

"You guys are amazing, you can guess all of this." Ning Xiuyun pulled Dai Qingqing and listened to them.

Lin Hong looked at the person who spoke, and smiled, "Miss Ning praised it absurdly. If we didn't know that the regent rebelled, we wouldn't be able to push it out."

Ning Xiuyun was a little curious about them, "May I ask, who are the three?"

"A mere businessman." Lin Hong said.

"It's just a guard." Cheng Jinjiu said.

"What about Mr. Wan?"

Everyone looked at Wan Guchuan.

"I'm his guard." Wan Guchuan raised his chin towards Lin Hong.

Lin Hong: "..."

Everyone looked at Lin Hong again.

"Mr. Lin must be a big shot."

Lin Hong:.Will be beheaded...

Cheng Jinjiu nodded, "So it's my colleague."

Lin Hong gave him a distressed look.

Lin Hong was very surprised. As a general, Wan Guchuan, it’s fine if he didn’t care about political affairs and didn’t know him before. Why didn’t everyone know him? ?

Wan Guchuan: "Never show up in public."

"What about your name?" Lin Hong was convinced.

Wan Guchuan thought for a while, "I should know the name, but I don't know the word."

He introduced himself as "Wan Su Feng".

Lin Hong: Okay...

The team was walking forward crookedly, it was winter outside, everyone was bloated, all of them were staring at the sun in the midday sun, and kept wiping off their sweat, some of them took off several layers of clothes and hung them around their waists , still thirsty and hot.

Lin Hong wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, feeling someone was pulling him, looking back, it was Ning Xiuyun.

Ning Xiuyun blushed a little, looking embarrassed.

"What's the matter, Miss Ning?" Lin Hong asked.

"Mr. Lin, I want to ask." Ning Xiuyun glanced at the back of Wan Guchuan in front of him, "Is your guard married?"

"Ah?" Lin Hong didn't realize who his guard was for a moment, but he understood after seeing her eyes, and his heart was blocked.

Ning Xiuyun smiled with red lips, and kept looking at Wan Guchuan's back with affectionate eyes, her fair face was flushed, very delicate.

Lin Hong pursed his lips again and again, feeling cold and heavy in his chest, like an iron weight.

This is unreasonable in the first place, he treats Wan Guchuan.

Lin Hong told himself.

Might annoy him.

Maybe, I was just confused and impulsive for a while.

Maybe, he didn't mean it sincerely, it was because he didn't figure it out and misunderstood.

Perhaps, seeing him with someone else gave up.

Maybe, keeping a distance can restore the past, calm down, and forget.

Can't go any further.

Because, this is unreasonable.

Just restraint, just keep your distance.

Don't make a mistake and become eternal hatred, which is irreversible.

"No." Lin Hong heard himself say so.

"That's great!" Ning Xiuyun smiled, like an embroidered hibiscus blooming slowly, "So there is someone you like?"

Lin Hong glanced at Wan Guchuan's back, "Probably not."

"Good!" Ning Xiuyun was extremely happy.

Lin Hong looked down at the road.

20 people trekked in the desert, and the team dragged on for a long time.

The yellow sand is vast.
