Chapter 239
In the car behind were Han Ping's family of five, plus a few people brought by Xu Canjun.
One of them, Li Hu, saw the people following behind and said to Han Ping, "Brother Han, are these people here to chase us?"
"It's hard to say." Han Ping said.
Han Ping wasn't sure whether Yin Youlin had come to punish them or to steal their things, and he didn't know whether they were looking for Huo or him and his father-in-law.
After all, one disobeyed the emperor's order and the other escaped without permission, which undoubtedly challenged the emperor's majesty, so he was really not sure whether Yin Youlin wanted to kill them at this moment or had other purposes.
But now they have left. The speed at which these people ride horses cannot catch up with the speed at which they drive cars, so there is no need to worry about these people bringing them danger for the time being.
Guo Mancang watched the horses slow down and couldn't help but cautiously remind them, "Your Majesty, shouldn't we stop and rest for a while?"
After running for a few days, life was not easy for both people and horses. The grass here was lush, so it was best to let the horses rest, otherwise they would get tired and sick. Now that they lacked everything, it would be difficult for them to find a new horse.
After hearing this, Yin Youlin looked at the direction where Huo and the others left with an unclear expression, and finally let out a "whoa" and stopped the horse by holding the reins.
All under heaven belongs to the king. If these people dare to rebel, he will punish them along with their entire clans, and in the end all these cars will be his.
"Have you contacted General Nian?" Yin Youlin asked coldly while looking at the car in front.
"Someone has already delivered the letter." Guo Mancang replied.
General Nian is General Nian Wude who is guarding the northwest. The reason he sent this message was because there were heavy casualties in Xiyuan City. Yin Youlin was short of manpower, so he contacted Nian Wude to capture Huo and the others together.
However, Guo Mancang didn't know where Huo and the others would go, and whether General Nian would encounter an unpredictable disaster like the one in Xiyuan Prefecture.
He really couldn't be sure whether this letter could finally reach General Nian's hands. After all, there were too many uncertainties now. However, he didn't dare to tell Yin Youlin this.
After hearing this, Yin Youlin nodded and got off the horse.
Seeing this, everyone quickly dismounted and let the horses rest while they ate some dry food and drank some water.
Huo? They drove all the way for almost an hour. Ning Jian checked the map and saw animal signs on the map. There were several of them, but there were no danger signals on these animals.
Seeing this, he directed Qiao Yuan to drive in that direction to see what kind of creature it was. If it was cattle or sheep, they could get some meat.
After reaching the nearby area, Ning Yan looked ahead and found five or six goats grazing there.
So everyone stopped the car nearby, and after discussing some countermeasures, they began to besiege and trap the goats.
In the end, two were captured alive, and the remaining three were shot dead.
After a lively mutton meal at noon, they continued their journey.
On the third day after entering Moyang, they entered the desert area.
They hadn't found a water source for the past few days, and the water in the wooden barrels in the car had run out. Ning Yan filled the barrels with water every night and provided it for everyone to use.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to ask where Ning Jian got the water.
The weather in the desert is changeable, with high temperatures during the day and very low temperatures at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.
In addition, we have to deal with bad weather that may come at any time.
For example, now, it was the sixth day they entered the desert, and then they encountered a sandstorm.
The sandstorm lasted for half an hour. A gust of wind and sand blew, and most of the wheels were buried underground.
Fortunately, Ning Jian noticed that something was wrong and reminded everyone in advance, and then everyone quickly took out some straw mats to cover it.
Even so, because the wind and sand were so strong, they were blown into the car, and everyone got some of it on them.
"Pooh." Huo Yun spat out the sand that accidentally floated into his mouth.
And he shouted to Ning Jian: "Dad, there is so much sand."
While he was talking, some sand fell on his head and shoulders.
Seeing this, Huo Yun raised his hand and patted his head, and a lot more rain fell down.
Ning Jian also brushed off the mud and sand on his body, then poured two glasses of water for him and Ning Jing, asking them to rinse their mouths.
Qingying crawled out of Ning Jing's arms, shook off the few grains of sand on its head, then climbed onto the fender of the tractor and looked outside.
This was the first time it had seen such a huge sandstorm. If it were in the center of the storm, with its small body, it would probably be buried underground.
After taking a look, it shrank back into Ning Jing's arms. It was safer in little Jingjing's arms.
After the storm subsided, everyone got out of the car and began to rescue the tractor.
They drove from the front and pushed from the back, and soon the car was "rescued" from the sand pile.
Just as everyone continued to move forward, they heard someone calling Ning Yan from behind.
When everyone looked back, they saw three people, two men and one woman, riding three camels, coming towards them.
Officer Xu took a closer look and said excitedly, "It's the Pavilion Master."
Huo Yan and Ning Gang were a little surprised to see Ye Buli and the others. They didn't expect them to come back so soon.
Except for Duan Zhixian and Sun Huzi, the rest of the people saw Shang Chenyi's appearance for the first time. They couldn't help but take a deep breath. This man was simply too beautiful, so charming that he was almost a demon.
Even though he looks a little sloppy now, his appearance is still hard to describe.
Even Suifeng saw Shang Chenyi's appearance for the first time. He was also surprised by Shang Chenyi's beauty, but he was also a little strange. Is this man really a boy?
But in terms of beauty, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a boy, but if you say that he is a boy, it feels like something is wrong.
When several people came up to them, Shang Chenyi got off the camel first and said to Ning Yan, "Brother Yan, you guys made it easier for us to find him."
Soon after, Ye Buli and the lady who looked older also got off the camel.
Ning Yan was surprised to hear this and asked, "Have you been here for a long time?"
"Yes, we have been looking for you in the desert for four days, and finally found you." Shang Chenyi said with emotion.
They traveled all the way to Beizhao Kingdom and learned a lot about the situation along the way. Many places were affected by various disasters, such as water shortage, drought, insect plague, crop failure, and they even had to guard against the invasion of some diseases.
Many people left their homes and fled in all directions, leaving behind only barren land and uninhabited houses.
The situation in Beizhao Kingdom was similar. Many livestock contracted strange diseases, and the crops in the fields were attacked by pests. Then the weather changed, causing many people to experience adverse reactions in their bodies.
