Chapter 31

When Qiao Zhi and Ma Yao heard this, these people were too unreasonable!

If they were asked to choose musical instruments, they would definitely choose musical instruments that people are not good at and play with musical instruments that they are not good at. How could they win?

Qiao Zhi said to the man: "Isn't this difficult for you? This is too unfair!"

The man looked at Qiao Zhi. His red beard shook and looked at Qiao Zhi with complacentness. His big nose turned to the sky and hummed his nose and said to Qiao Zhi: "Child, if you are not convinced, just participate with them! See if you will win!"

"Just compete, we will definitely not lose to you!" Before Qiao Zhi could speak, Ma Yao answered first. He glared at his little eyes angrily, clenched his fists with both hands, and said to the man.

The man smiled and continued, "It's not interesting for us to compete like this. It's better... the loser will give the music score of his orchestra and the treasures he brought with him to the winner?"

When Qiao Zhi heard this, he obviously came prepared. His provocation now seemed to be premeditated and intentional. "You are too bullying!" Qiao Zhi looked at the man in front of him, determined to protect the orchestra behind him.

The woman from the band gently patted Qiao Zhi on the shoulder. Her eyes were clear and gentle. "Don't worry, we will definitely win." After saying that, she looked at the man with unique phoenix eyes, "The competition is OK, but the loser must not return."

After hearing this, the man laughed loudly, as if he had heard some joke. He thought: "Now this is my territory. You foreigners actually want to win? I'm afraid it's unlikely!"

Thinking of this, he said nonsense: "That's natural. Don't regret anyone who loses!"

The woman nodded, turned around and said to the onlookers: "Everyone, we will compete here in seven days. I hope that everyone can come and support us!"

The man looked at the woman contemptuously, and his heart was full of disdain for the foreign band. These people were their local old neighbors and old customers. How could they look to the foreign villagers? In this competition, the only one who won the final victory was himself!

The two of them agreed on a game time, and the onlookers also dispersed. The woman looked at Qiao Zhi and Ma Yao and said softly: "Little brother, thank you for helping us just now. Look at your dressing, are you also foreigners? My name is Lilan, you call me Sister Xiaolan."

Qiao Zhi was a little embarrassed for a moment because he didn't know how to explain his identity with Ma Yao, so he grabbed the back of his head and replied: "Sister Xiaolan, how did your orchestra instruments be thrown away? Why did it suddenly disappear?"

Lilan shook her head, "I don't know either, but I guess I must have nothing to do with the man who is looking for us to compete."

Ma Yao slapped his chest, "Sister Xiaolan, don't worry, I will go with Qiao Zhi to help you check the identity of that man, and then come back to tell you!" After that, he pulled Qiao Zhi and left the inn.

Qiao Zhi sighed, Ma Yao had the old habit of showing off his might when encountering trouble.

In this strange place, the environment is not familiar, and they don’t know who the man is and where he lives. How do they check it?

"Ma Yao, do you know who that person is?" Qiao Zhi asked with his lips pursed.

Ma Yao shook his head, "I don't know."

"Then do you know what he does?" Qiao Zhi asked again.

Ma Yao shook his head again, "I don't know."

"Then do you know where this is and where that man is?" Qiao Zhi covered his forehead and sighed. He seemed to have known Ma Yao's answer.

"I don't know..." Ma Yao was asked by Qiao Zhi, and his head was getting lower and weaker, and his heart became weaker. In the end, he could only look at Qiao Zhi with help, "Qiao Zhi, my friend, you are the most powerful. You must have a way, right?"

What Qiao Zhi couldn't stand the most was Ma Yao's move.

Every time he cheated, Qiao Zhi could only help him with the help of the slightest. "Ma Yao, when he encounters anything in the future, he cannot be impulsive and do it without expecting the consequences. This will not only not help others, but will also cause trouble for himself and others."

"Yes, yes, Qiao Zhi, what you said is right, I know that you will definitely help me, and there will be a way!" Ma Yao stared at Qiao Zhi with a smile.

"Let's go, today that person talks about the orchestra, looking confident. I guess he must be from a certain orchestra here! Why don't we go and look for it? Maybe there will be some clues." Qiao Zhi said, and walked to a crowded place.

Ma Yao followed behind him and jumped up, "Oh yeah! Qiao Zhi is the best!"

Behind them, came the sound of camel bells. When the two looked back, they saw that the huge camel also followed him at some point, with their big eyes flashing, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

Qiao Zhi and Ma Yao looked at each other, and finally looked at Luotuo helplessly. Qiao Zhi said, "Camel, you can follow him, but you can't make trouble!"

The big Camel nodded in a human way, and his big eyes blinked twice quickly, as if saying, "Don't worry, I will be obedient and not make trouble."

Qiao Zhi and Ma Yao came to a crowded place and found a kind-hearted aunt and asked: "Hello aunt, where is this town? Is there any orchestra here?"

The aunt looked at the two cute children with kind eyes. She pointed to a tavern in front of the alley and said:

"This is Shanshan Kingdom, and there is the orchestra you are looking for. However, little kid, you should be careful when you go in and talk. The boss of the orchestra, Ilik is not a good-tempered person."

Qiao Zhi's big eyes flashed across his question, "Where is Shanshan Kingdom? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The aunt smiled and said, "If you don't know about Shanshan Kingdom, you have heard of Loulan, have you ever heard of it? Many people from foreign countries call it this way."

Qiao Zhi opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Loulan?" He repeated the name in disbelief, and then looked around, "Auntie, is this really Loulan? That ancient Loulan country?"

Of course, the aunt had never heard of the title of Loulan Ancient Kingdom, but she could hear the word Loulan clearly, so she nodded without questioning, "Yes, this is Loulan!"

Ma Yao didn't understand Qiao Zhi's sudden excitement. What happened, so he grabbed Qiao Zhi and asked, "Qiao Zhi, are you okay? Isn't it Loulan? Why are you so excited?"

Qiao Zhi looked at Ma Yao and said excitedly, "Ma Yao, do you know where Loulan is? This is a lost ancient civilization country and a must-pass hub on the Silk Road!"

Seeing that Ma Yao was still confused, Qiao Zhi continued to explain excitedly: "There is an ancient poem, Wang Changling's "Jobs in the Army": Qinghai has long clouds and snowy mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar. The yellow sand is wearing golden armor for hundreds of battles, and will never return until it is destroyed. Have you heard of it?"

Ma Yao had a little reaction this time, "I... I can't recite it, but I have some impression of the last sentence. I will never return it until it is destroyed. This sentence."

He suddenly became a little enlightened, "You said this is the Loulan that will never return until it is destroyed?" Ma Yao also seemed a little excited.

Qiao Zhi nodded affirmatively, and Ma Yao grabbed Qiao Zhi's clothes, "Oh my God, we actually came to Loulan! This is incredible!"

Qiao Zhi continued, "No, we can't see this mysterious country by ourselves. I want to go back to find our good friends, Zhou Sihan and Chen Huazhe, and let them play together!"

Ma Yao suddenly frowned, "If that happens, I will let the director's treasure go and enter the display cabinet to put on the treasure. Will more people know about the scandal of me?"

Qiao Zhi looked at Ma Yao in a dilemma and finally gave up on the idea of ​​finding Zhou Sihan and Chen Huazhe.

The two walked towards the restaurant at the entrance of the alley in front. As soon as they walked to the door, they were attracted by the pleasant music inside. The music inside was full of exotic atmosphere and full of dynamic feeling, making people unable to help but want to dance.

A girl with a veil danced on the platform inside. She was wearing a gorgeous skirt and a long peacock feather on her hat.

The peacock feather swayed lightly with her dancing steps. The gorgeous skirt sometimes rose, sometimes fell, and sometimes rotated continuously. It was simply beautiful and dazzling.

"Hey, where did you come from the little doll? It's not something you can get in here! Only rich businessmen can get in, go away quickly!" An unhappy voice sounded, Qiao Zhi turned around and saw a tall and burly man standing behind him, crossing his hands, looking at them impatiently.

"Uncle, we...we want to find Irik from the band and ask him for music knowledge." Qiao Zhi had a clever idea and said to the tall man in front of him.

The man looked suspicious, but after looking at Qiao Zhi and Ma Yao in front of him, he felt that there was no danger, so he said, "Ilik is not in the restaurant now, his home is just behind two streets. You can go there just by walking there."

Qiao Zhi took Ma Yao away from the restaurant, followed the direction the man pointed, and arrived at a gate with colorful diamonds and stopped.

"Qiao Zhi, why did you stop?" Ma Yao looked left and right, but didn't find anything that could attract people to stop.

"At this time, Ilic's home is here." Qiao Zhi said, pointing to the colorful diamond-shaped gate in front of him.

"How did you know that this is Ilic's home?" Ma Yao asked.

"Listen carefully, is there any musical sound here?" Qiao Zhi pointed to his ear.

Ma Yao and Luotuo looked at each other, and both listened to each other with their ears. Sure enough, the sound of music came from the yard, but the music was intermittent and very unskilled, not like rehearsing a complete song.

Someone angrily said in the yard: "You broken pottery lamp! You can gain magical musical abilities by getting these instruments. Now it seems that you are just talking nonsense! Let me not smash you!"

A familiar, terrified voice came: "No, no! Give me your life, let me go!"
