Anyone who dares to go down the mountain, no matter who they are, will be cut into pieces!
When Zhao Rui arrived at a mountain pass, he was stopped by the garrison stationed here.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao has an order not to allow anyone to go down the mountain at will. You'd better return the way you came, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
The shouting voice was so deep that even Zhao Rui couldn't help but tremble.
"Why, you don't even recognize me anymore?"
The commander who shouted subconsciously moved forward and then fell to his knees.
All the garrison troops besieging Heishui Mountain received Zhao Rui's portrait. The purpose was to prevent them from accidentally injuring Zhao Rui.
"The villain is blind and did not recognize His Highness. He is punished by death!"
Zhao Rui helped him up generously: "I have not convicted you, so how can you be punished with death?"
Shi Changcheng was horrified, and before he could react, Zhao Rui thrust a token into his hand.
"Immediately send an order, the army will enter the mountain, and no one encountered will be left behind!"
Don't dare to hesitate at all and do it immediately.
Zhao Rui didn't stay too long. He asked the garrison for a few horses and headed straight to the desert.
Most places in the Western Region are deserts, and the largest desert is called the Desert of Death. Legend has it that as long as someone enters, it is impossible to come out alive.
The ruins of the ancient Blackwater Kingdom are located in this desert.
Zhao Rui and his party walked for an unknown amount of time before they saw two lonely poplar trees.
Their martial arts skills have long been unparalleled in the world, but even so they cannot withstand the scorching sun in the desert.
Ziyun was lying in Zhao Rui's arms, extremely weak.
"Your Highness, look at the location on the map. We should be there thirty miles further!"
Yeluming was also panting heavily and reluctantly calculating the distance.
They came in a hurry, and they didn't have many supplies with them, so they could only use them sparingly.
Moreover, the environment here is extremely harsh. If you don't plan carefully, it will be difficult to survive.
At this moment, a camel caravan came over from not far away.
Their camels carried a large amount of supplies on their backs, including countless water bags.
At this time, Zhao Rui couldn't care less and ran over directly.
"Do you sell your water?"
The leader of the camel team seemed very kind and took off a large bag of water and threw it over.
"Of course I'll sell it, a bag of water costs one hundred gold!"
In the desert, let alone one hundred taels of gold to buy a bag of water, even if you lose everything in exchange for a drop of water, some people will exchange it without hesitation.
Without thinking, Zhao Rui took out a big bag from his body and threw it over.
"There are five hundred taels of gold in here, give me five bags of water!"
The leader of the camel team was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Zhao Rui to be so generous, so he asked for nine more bags of water.
"It's rare to see someone as generous as you. Today I'll make an exception and give you half the price!"
Zhao Rui just thanked him and returned to the poplar tree with the water bag. He opened the bag of water and took a sip, then added some salt and fed Ziyun little by little.
