The breeze blows up the autumn leaves, and there are no other colors as far as the eye can see except for the carmine.

Ye Jingtang stood by the lake with a sword hanging on his waist. Next to him was Dongfang Liren, who was dressed in white robes. From a close look, she looked like a handsome and talented woman, but from a distance, she really looked like a black and white evil spirit.

The Queen Mother dressed up as the wife of a wealthy family and walked slowly in the woods with Hongyu. Because there were no other people around to disturb her, she finally found some feeling. After walking around for a while, she didn't stare at Ye Jingtang.

When she saw it, she secretly took out the treasured book from her arms, turned to a certain page at the back, and compared it with the surroundings.

Hongyu was supporting the Queen Mother by her side. They had known each other day and night all year round and naturally understood what the Queen Mother was comparing. She said helplessly:

"This book was written by the previous dynasty, more than a hundred years ago. The person who wrote the book was still a junior official in the Ministry of Industry. Maybe he had only heard of Maple Leaf Lake. Where can I find what is written in the book here..."

"What do you know? I am a craftsman and very pragmatic. I even have to write down clearly how many bricks there are in the palace. How can I write blindly here...Look, is this it?"

The Queen Mother came between two big maple trees and compared them in the book:

"The Empress Dowager Yan was abducted here. The prince tied a swing to these two trees, and then the two of them were swinging while...ahem..."

Hongyu looked up and felt that the two maple trees must not be a hundred years old, but she did not dare to displease the Queen Mother anymore and asked:

"Then let me find two ropes?"

"go Go……"

…

Not far away, Dongfang Liren saw the Queen Mother looking very happy, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he turned his eyes back to the lake as flat as a mirror:

"Liangzhou is actually not as barren as the rumors say. It's just that there are too few water channels and the area is sparsely populated. If the imperial court has spare money in the future, they will arrest all the horse bandits in Liangzhou and gather them together to build the Grand Canal. As long as the sky is

Once Lang Lake is dug out and the water is diverted into the ancient river channel, this barren bone beach will soon become thousands of miles of fertile soil..."

Barren Bone Beach was a swamp in ancient times. Later, when there was a drought, bones could be seen everywhere, so it got its name. Ye Jingtang heard Benben talking about these millennium projects again, and said:

"I'm afraid this method won't work. There are thousands of people in the town. They seem to be honest escorts and businessmen during the day. No one knows what they will become when they go out at night. There is no way to catch them all..."

Dongfang Liren was just looking for something to say casually. As he was admiring the scenery, he saw Fan Qinghe walking past the motorcade holding several grilled fish, while the birds were jumping around in circles:

"Chi chi chi~"

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang hurriedly came forward and said with a smile:

"Miss Fan is so polite, why did she buy it for us?"

Fan Qinghe came to the front and handed one of the grilled fish to Ye Jingtang:

"I bought it by the way. I just met a young man in the town who wanted to buy your eagle. He offered a price of one thousand taels of silver. He was very heroic. I paid attention. He seemed to be from the Black Flag Gang. His martial arts skills seemed to be very good.

Not low, with more than 20 large cars..."

Ye Jingtang didn't notice anyone in the town just now, but this is one of the transportation hubs of Barren Bone Beach, and there are many Black Flag Gang caravans, so it's not unusual to bump into them.

"I know, I'll pay more attention."

"Um."

Fan Qinghe nodded, and then took his follower Nianniu to the vicinity of the motorcade.

Dongfang Liren was standing not far away. Hearing Fan Qinghe's words, he thought about it and said:

"The Black Flag Gang should be leaving the border when they leave here. If the Black Flag Gang is secretly smuggling prohibited items, there might be some in the car. If everyone gets the stolen goods, there is no need to investigate the rest... But as long as the arrests are made,

If you find evidence of guilt, you have to reveal your identity, which may be detrimental to your future travels."

Ye Jingtang also had the same plan and looked at the sky:

"When I encounter a situation, I naturally have to stop by and touch it. The Gobi Desert is endless, and it is difficult to get close in broad daylight. When it gets dark at night, I sneak over and check it out."

Dongfang Liren nodded and didn't talk much about this matter. He picked up the grilled fish and bit into it, tearing off a small piece. She was about to chew it carefully when she noticed that Ye Jingtang was looking at her, so she handed the grilled fish over:

"Hmm~"

Ye Jingtang understood what Benben meant, but still deliberately misunderstood it. He pretended to be flattered, lowered his head slightly and brought it to his lips to take the fish.

?!

Dongfang Liren was stunned for a moment, and quickly closed his lips, but was still kissed firmly. His eyes suddenly became angry, and he stepped back and raised his hand to hit Ye Jingtang on the shoulder:

"You are so presumptuous!"

Ye Jingtang didn't eat the fish but did eat the rouge, so he naturally gave it up when he felt good and said with a smile:

"I thought His Highness wanted to feed me. Well... I misunderstood. I'll be honest."

Dongfang Liren completely understood why men could be so thick-skinned, and it was useless to be fierce. He simply turned around and ignored Ye Jingtang.

Ye Jingtang was just about to chat a few words to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that a voice suddenly came from the distance:

Click~

The sound of branches snapping!

While Ye Jingtang and Dongfang Liren were flirting, the Queen Mother not far away was tying a swing to Hongyu.

Hongyu took a hemp rope from the motorcade and tied it on the branch of the maple tree. Then the Queen Mother sat on the rope and played on the swing like in the fantasy book, just like she did in the palace.

scene. And Hongyu stood behind the Queen Mother and pushed the swing.

Because the maple leaf forest blocked the view and could not see the endless desert outside, the Queen Mother wanted to be as high as she was in the palace, so she said:

"Push harder!"

Hongyu was used to being pushed in the palace, and she ignored the swing she tied. The quality was completely incomparable with the ones in the palace. After hearing this, she pushed you away with a strong push, and then the overburdened branch above broke instantly.

, the Queen Mother also flew out.

"grumble?!"

The bird that was immersed in eating fish in the distance suddenly raised its head, and followed the Queen Mother spinning in mid-air in an arc, falling straight into the lake.

Fan Qinghe was startled, stood up and rushed towards the lake.

Fortunately, Ye Jingtang, as a master of personal contact, was not slow to react. The moment he heard something wrong, he had already galloped out, his feet rose into the sky, wrapped around the Queen Mother's waist, and then fell to the shore.

side.

The Queen Mother was thrown out, and everyone was stunned. When they found out that they were being hugged, they quickly grabbed the collar of the person next to them. Then they realized that the person holding her was Ye Jingtang, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Step~

The two landed steadily on the lake shore.

The Queen Mother quickly stood up straight, straightened her clothes, and said awkwardly:

"This tree is not strong at all... It seems that what is written in the book is indeed false."

Ye Jingtang shook his head and chuckled, picked up the rope, jumped up to the maple tree, and tied it to the two trunks:

"If you just hang it on a branch, something will happen. Just tie it to the trunk. Let me do it..."

Seeing Ye Jingtang's nimble hands and feet, the Queen Mother bit her lower lip lightly, only to find that Hong Yu next to her was snickering heartlessly, and raised her hand to slap her buttocks again:

"It's all your fault. I couldn't tie the rope well, and I almost fell to death."

"Ah~ I was wrong..."

…

People were coming and going in Hongfeng Town. The Black Flag Gang's large convoy only made a temporary stop. After replenishing drinking water, it set off again to the north.

In order not to make the other party suspicious, Ye Jingtang first stayed in Hongfeng Town for an hour and accompanied the Queen Mother to play on the swing by the lake. It was not until the Queen Mother had enough fun that she set off again to the north.

The Black Flag Gang brought more than 20 large vehicles with huge loads and could not move very fast. There were birds conducting reconnaissance at high altitudes, and the vast Gobi desert was endless. They could be found even if they traveled dozens of miles, and there was no fear of losing them.

After the sky gradually darkened, Ye Jingtang saw the dark moon, high wind and poor visibility, so he set up camp in an open space. He put on his night clothes and drove away from the team to conduct reconnaissance.

Dongfang Liren has been holding back for too long in the convoy these days. He kept hinting between the lines whether he could follow, but he didn't dare to say it clearly for fear of disturbing the dignitary.

Although the Night Terror Hall has not fully recovered now, it has moved freely. For a force like the Black Flag Gang, even if the gang leader Hu Yanjing comes, he is sure to leave whenever he wants. For this reason, he did not refuse and injured Meng Jiao, She Long, and others.

Jianli and other masters stayed in the convoy to guard their homes, while he mounted the big black horse and led Benben into the depths of the endless desert...

——

Hooves, hoofs, hoofs -

The remaining clouds cover the moon, and there is a vast plain on the endless desert. Although the starlight is extremely dark, you can still see all the details of the surroundings - mainly there are no details.

The big dark horse that has been running in the Gobi Desert for many years has returned to the familiar track again. It is much more active than when it was in the capital. The horsepower is always on call, and the acceleration is so strong that it can throw Dongfang Liren off, and he has to hold the night terror behind his back.

The waist of the church.

Ye Jingtang grew up in the Gobi Desert. Although he was a little distracted by the colorful world in the capital, he still felt the joy of returning to his hometown when he returned to the boundless and lawless Gobi Desert.

After all, no matter how prosperous or beautiful the outside is, it can't give you the sense of freedom of being a pair of people in one place and day in the endless desert, almost outside the world.

Dongfang Liren clung to Ye Jingtang's back and used him as a pillow. The black robe on his body was blown by the wind. After running in the Gobi for a while, he gradually realized the carefree flavor that belongs to Liangzhou.

He opened his mouth and said:

"I didn't realize it. This horse has pretty good leg power. It's a pity that I didn't ride my sister's Rouge Tiger. It's just a flat road. If we start now, we can run outside the customs tomorrow morning."

I have seen the empress's rouge tiger in the Night Terror Hall. Its body is like charcoal, its eyes are like bells, its roar is like a tiger roaring in the mountains, and it runs like a dragon flying into the sea. It is not even considered a horse, it is completely a strange beast.

Although he was very greedy, daring to ride that thing in a swaggering way was tantamount to putting a label on his face, 'I am the face of the empress', which would not work at all.
