Looking at the face in front of him that looked almost exactly the same as Jing Ke's, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "We know him."

Tianming scratched his head and asked with some confusion: "But, why don't I have an image?"

Li Chen smiled: "You are still young, you will know later."

Tianming nodded and said with a smile: "Well, uncle, come and play with me when you have time!"

Li Chen smiled and nodded, looked at the old man surnamed Lu beside him and said, "Senior, thank you very much for this matter. I will pay you a visit when I return."

The old man nodded and said calmly: "Go, don't forget your promise."

Li Chen stood up, saluted the old man, and said with a smile: "Senior, don't worry, I won't forget it."

After saying that, he straightened up, looked at Tianming, turned around and left the room.

Que Xie, who was behind, also smiled and saluted the two of them, then slowly left with Li Chen.

When he came to the road outside, he looked back at the small courtyard. Que Xie followed behind him, looked at Li Chen and asked: "City Lord, can this person's words be trusted?"

Li Chen sighed: "It's hard to say, but it won't have much impact. It has to be done once anyway."

Quexie nodded, turned around, glanced at the small courtyard, and said coldly: "How about we leave a few people behind to monitor this old man?"

Li Chen shook his head: "No, if you have time, you might as well pay more attention to Gong Shuqiu, that old man has never been of the same mind as us."

"What does the city lord mean?" Quexie was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "But along the way, we have paid a lot of attention to him, and he has no time to spread the news!"

Li Chen smiled: "Before he was taken to Xiaoyao City, Gongshu Chou had a very high status in both the Qin State and the Yin and Yang family. After surrendering to Xiaoyao City, Gongshu Chou's status plummeted. He had some thoughts in his heart.

It’s excusable.”

"Right now, we haven't gained anything yet. Of course he won't contact outsiders rashly. If we achieve our goal this time, it might be possible."

A hint of killing intent flashed in Quexie's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "City Lord, then I will go and kill him now."

Li Chen waved his hand speechlessly: "Do you think I can't kill him? It's very simple to kill him, but he is still of some use to us."

"Bronze opens the door, let's ask Gongshu. The Gongshu clan's mechanism skills are not even comparable to those of the Mo family. In the future development of Xiaoyao City, mechanism techniques will be used in many places. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much effort to get him.

Go to Xiaoyao City."

Que Xie nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, City Lord, from now on, we will arrange for people to keep an eye on him at all times so that he has no chance to collude with outsiders."

Li Chen smiled and reassured: "There's no need to be so nervous. Except for the fact that Tian Ming is Jing Ke's son, don't let him spread the news for the time being. Don't worry about other news."

"Whether it's the Yin Yang family or the Qin State, they won't come to trouble us at this time. Even if the news spreads, it won't be a big deal."

Hearing this, Quexie nodded slightly and followed Li Chen onto the street. After thinking for a while, he asked, "City Lord, are we about to enter the desert now?"

Li Chen glanced around and said calmly: "There are only a few people here. We are a group of more than ten people. Our goal is too huge. If we stay here for a long time, we may attract Qin's spies."

"Although we are not afraid of them, it would be great to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"After you go back, prepare yourself. We will enter the desert in the afternoon."

Que Xie nodded and said: "City Lord, what should be prepared? We have been prepared these days. As long as the City Lord gives the order, we can set off immediately."

Back at the small courtyard bought by Quexie and others, the remaining members of the Seven Swordsmen also returned from their trip. When Li Xue and the others came yesterday, they took a general look at the town.

In such a desolate place, the three of them had no intention of going around, so they stayed in the small courtyard.

Due to his special appearance, Gongshu Qiu was basically protected by the Seven Swords of Freedom all the way here. Under normal circumstances, he would not go out.

A few people just went out, but they didn't get much. No one here has heard of Loulan, let alone a map to get there.

Li Chen briefly talked about the news he got from Old Man Lu, and everyone went to the small courtyard to get some food, fill their stomachs, and after wiping away the traces of their lives, they plunged into the Gobi outside the town.

After walking for more than half an hour and crossing the Qin army's camp, Li Chen took a few steps forward and secretly took out the trap snake from the storage ring.

Li Xue, Hua Ying, and Li Yan knew about Li Chen's ability to conjure things out of thin air, so they weren't too surprised. On the contrary, Gong Shuqiu, Xiaoyao Qijian, and others were all surprised by this.

Li Chen didn't explain too much, and led everyone to jump on the machine snake, driven by Gong Shuqiu, and rushed towards the depths of the desert.

To be honest, whether in the anime or in reality, Li Chen found this machine technique a bit incredible.

Li Chen was able to figure out the mechanism of the public loser's machine bird, which was driven by a clockwork.

But Li Chen couldn't figure out the giant snake and the petite Poto Qilang like a lizard for a long time.

There is no clockwork or anything like that found on it, but the movement speed of these two mechanical beasts is not slow.

In particular, this giant mechanical snake is by no means inferior to ordinary horses on some complex terrains.

Even cars from later generations will shed tears silently when they look at this kind of technology.

Although it is late autumn at this time, people still feel a sense of warmth in this desert.

Fortunately, everyone is a martial arts practitioner and their strength is not weak. In addition, there is sufficient water in Li Chen's storage ring. This daunting desert is not a big deal to Li Chen and others.

.

The machine snake was not slow either. Even though it was carrying twelve people, it covered a distance of nearly a hundred miles in just one afternoon.

It wasn't until the sun set and the weather gradually turned cold that Li Chen signaled Gong Shuqiu to find a low-lying place to set up camp.

Coiling the entire mechanism snake into an S shape, Li Chen took out several tents and some daily necessities from the storage ring, and directed everyone to set up their shelter.

Seeing this scene, Gong Shuqiu moved his steps and came to Li Chen's side. He asked nervously: "City... City Lord, how did you do this?"

Li Chen smiled enigmatically. Although, until now, he didn't shy away from the fact that he had a storage ring, he wouldn't tell others easily.

Looking at Gong Shuqiu with a smile, Li Chen said leisurely: "Guess!"
