"All guards obey the order! Lead all the people to the oasis to find food! If you encounter someone on fire on the way, shoot them without mercy!"

"Yes!" The guards stood up straight, placed their right hands on their chests, lowered their heads slightly, and responded loudly.

"Your Majesty the King is wise!" all the people shouted again.

So this time the action was led by Du Yunxi and became led by the king.

The group of people headed towards the city gate in a mighty manner, Du Yunxi and Zheng Ziyu also mixed in and followed closely.

The king took away a large number of guards, and now there should be very few left in the palace, so Song Shiyin and the others were also preparing to set off.

There were still soldiers' handles at the entrance to the palace, so they still chose to climb over the palace wall to enter.

Having lost their spiritual power, they can only use the most primitive method, building a ladder.

Song Shiyin stepped on Zhuo Guang's shoulders, grabbed the wall with both hands, pushed his whole body upward, then climbed over the palace wall, and landed gently on the ground.

The first thing she did when she entered was to find a hidden rockery and hide behind it. She didn't know where the palace they came to was located in the royal palace. In short, there were no guards nearby.

After everyone arrived, they dispersed and headed towards the north of the palace.

Because there were so many people, the target was too conspicuous, so they worked together in pairs. Song Shiyin took Bian Tingyu's hand and kept moving forward with her waist bent.

The journey was quite smooth. They didn't encounter guards a few times. When they bumped into guards, they hid in hidden places and got through it safely.

"Senior Brother Wen, is this it?" Bian Tingyu asked Wen Xi in a low voice.

Wen Xu nodded.

After several people entered the palace where the merchant was, they quickly closed the door.

Before the merchant could react, Yuchi Muyi quickly took out a magic weapon from his storage bag. He slapped it on the ground, and a soundproof barrier was quickly formed around it.

In this way, they can talk secretly in the middle without being discovered by the guards outside.

After hearing the noise outside, the businessman woke up. He thought it was the king coming again, so he hurried out. Unexpectedly, he saw a dozen strangers.

This startled the businessman, but he quickly calmed down and sat on the stool as if nothing had happened.

"What did the king send you here to do?" He looked up at the team and asked calmly.

Unexpectedly, the businessman thought they were sent by the king, which just gave the team a reason.

Wen Xu and Xu Chengtian took a step forward, and Wen Xu spoke: "Have you found a way to solve the current danger in Shacheng?"

"No, you go back and tell the king that he did all this by himself and suffered the consequences. It has nothing to do with me or anyone else," the businessman replied.

"Is it because the gods failed to be born that Shacheng suffered from sandstorms and burning people?" Wenxu asked.

Hearing this, the businessman was stunned. His eyes were a little unclear and he said, "I didn't expect the king to even tell you this. I thought he was so scared."

"You haven't answered the king's question yet." Wen Xu looked at the businessman quietly.

The businessman smiled and said, "Is what he is asking for the birth of a god? Or... the birth of a god?"

Wen Xu frowned, what does this sentence mean? Which one is the culprit, the king or the businessman?

He first put this idea into his mind, changed the subject, and asked again: "Did you know the method recorded in the folk books in advance?"

The businessman still smiled and did not answer.

"What is your purpose? Do you want to watch Shacheng destroy the country?" Wen Xu said coldly.

The businessman said nothing.

"Why didn't you answer? Is it acquiescence?"

The merchant smiled and said: "You are not the king's people, why should I answer?"

"What if I insist on letting you answer?" Wen Xu stared at the businessman closely, his eyes motionless.

business

The man spread his hands and said casually: "Please."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chengtian took out a bundle of rope from his storage bag and threw it into the air. The rope flew straight towards the businessman and tied his entire body tightly.

The businessman showed a shocked expression, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly.

"Can you say it now?" Xu Chengtian asked.

The businessman lowered his head, laughed, and replied: "It turns out that I came prepared."

The merchant's whole body was tied tightly with ropes, his hands were placed by his legs, and his whole body was lying straight on the ground. He looked at the team with squinting eyes.

"What do you want to know?"

Wen Chu took a step forward, squatted beside him, looked into his eyes, and replied: "Answer the two questions just now."

The businessman smiled bitterly and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to hide."

The merchant comes from the plains and does business in both the desert and the plains all year round. He resells goods back and forth, collecting usually cheap gadgets from the desert, and bringing them back to sell them at high prices due to their scarcity.

Within a few years, he had made a lot of money. He heard that among the desert countries, a country called Shacheng was very prosperous, and he became interested in making money.

He brought goods from the plains and headed west to Shacheng.

Because the goods he brought were very rare, and coupled with his bragging, some ministers soon thought they were the supreme treasures and wanted to offer them to the king.

So the merchant took his goods to the palace and had an audience with the king.

The king was very satisfied with what the merchant brought, but he did not expect that there was a sheepskin presented with the goods.

There is a prophecy recorded on it, about the imminent destruction of Shacheng.

Shacheng will be destroyed in the hands of the king, disaster will suddenly strike, and the people of Shacheng will never have peace.

The king didn't believe it at first, but then a sandstorm hit.

This is like a omen, indicating the future outcome of Shacheng.

The king was horrified and called the merchants to find a way to deal with the situation.

But the businessman shook his head, he didn't know.

"How is this possible? You brought this prophecy, how could you not know the solution?" The king slapped the armrest of the seat heavily and glared at the businessman.

The merchant knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know, and I don't know how this parchment got mixed up in my goods."

The king didn't believe it, but no matter how he asked, the merchant just replied that he didn't know.

The scene was deadlocked for a long time.

Seeing that the king wanted to prevent Shacheng from being destroyed, the businessman thought about it and gave his own opinion.

"Your Majesty the King, since the prophecy was about Sand City, wouldn't the solution also be in Sand City?"

The king was stunned and thoughtful.

The next day, the king issued an order to collect all the books in the entire Shacheng.

Among the many books, he found a relevant record, which said that in ancient times, a country in the desert suffered a natural disaster, and the people were unable to resist and were almost destroyed.

At this time, a man came to this country. With a wave of his hand, the natural disaster disappeared.

The people were rescued, he helped them build a new city, and then disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, people call him a god.

After seeing this message, the king thought he had found a way to save Shacheng from destruction, but where was he going to find the gods?

The king continued to collect books, and finally he found what he wanted.

In the corner of a travel diary, there is a record of a sacrificial method of an ancient tribe. According to legend, this sacrificial ritual can directly reach the gods.

"What did the king do after that?" Wen Jiu asked.

The businessman smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, he doesn't tell me everything."

"Is there anything else?" Wenjiu once again

Open your mouth.

"No, that's all I know. I'll tell you everything." the merchant replied.

It seemed that the businessman had answered many questions, but in fact, he did not answer directly at all the questions Wen Jiu asked earlier.

In his description, he was a complete outsider. The prophecy was mixed with his cargo and was passed to the king without his knowledge.

The proposal he gave to the king was because he saw that the king was too worried and casually mentioned some of his own ideas.

As for what kind of method the king found in the books to bring the gods into being, he didn't know.

Everyone present frowned. Do they really have to question the king to get the truth about all this?

In the silence, Song Shiyin spoke: "You are lying."

The businessman was stunned: "I'm not lying, I've told you everything I know."

"What exactly is the method recorded in the book? You know it, tell me." Song Shiyin said in a deep voice.

"You don't need to lie to me, I really don't know this." New

"Why have you stayed in this palace for three whole years?" Song Shiyin raised his eyebrows and asked.
