Chapter 320 Missing
[@Liao Ji (leader of Yuanbao Gang): I would like to share it with you! How? ]
Just as the old man and the young boy were joking around, Zhang Xiaopang announced a big news in the group.
[@张小胖: I asked my assistant to review the surveillance video installed in the king's room. The king and the prime minister were very cautious in their conversation, and they should be in a place we don't know.
However, there is always a loophole. In their daily conversations, the king and the prime minister mentioned the place called Hena Desert. 】
Jiang Lili was surprised when she saw the message: "Hena Desert?"
"Could it be that they have invited reinforcements from the desert to deal with us?"
Jiang Lili asked Xin Che, and he said he had never heard of this place name. "I know all the big and small countries around Dasheng, but I have never heard of this place. It is probably thousands of miles away from Dasheng."
Sheng Zhixing sighed: "That's really far away. The king really spent a lot of money this time!"
Master Liao stroked Xiao Ma's fur and asked in confusion, "I'm curious how they knew each other?"
Wen Qiao sat on the horse, looking at the mountain road ahead, and said leisurely: "As an island country, Miguo has many ships coming and going. There are always ships from afar that come here unexpectedly and establish contact with them."
"Yes, according to history books, Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty sailed to the West and reached the east coast of Africa and the coast of the Red Sea."
Sheng Zhixing compared the location on the map according to his memory: "It's not surprising that the royal family of Miguo can get in touch with the people in the desert."
"there is always a solution to a problem."
Jiang Lili thought, if they were reinforcements coming from the desert, they wouldn't be good at water battles, right? They might be landlubbers, but they had Wen Qiao with them, so they were not worried: "I want to see who they can invite."
Xin Che thought of Jiang Lili and his accomplices' plan to conquer the world, and murmured, "Maybe this time we can follow the clues and go to the desert where this group of people came from to see if there are any opportunities."
Xin Che's words reminded Jiang Lili and the others, and they all began to be eager to try: "I heard that the desert is rich in minerals and can be used for gold mining."
"Then we'll just wait for this fish to bite."
The road on the mountain gradually became brighter and wider. Two hours later, Jiang Lili and his party, along with some naval forces, arrived at Panyue Grassland.
Surrounded by mountains, vast green grasslands stretch between the mountainsides.
The golden sunlight penetrates the thin clouds and pours down from the blue sky. Occasionally, birds fly across the sky, and the tips of the grass are glowing in the sun.
But there seemed to be something missing in such a vast grassland.
"Wait, where are the cattle and sheep? Where are the horses?"
Jiang Lili glanced over and saw that the grassland was empty. As she walked forward, she occasionally encountered one or two cows or sheep.
"How is this going?"
Xin Che pulled the reins of the tall white horse under him and said, "Let's go to the grassland where the herdsmen live first."
He arranged the Xin family army in advance, found out the situation, and brought everyone to the pastoral settlement.
Unexpectedly, there were so many herds of cattle, sheep and horses here. They were all temporarily penned up and huddled together in one place, looking very crowded.
Wen Qiao looked at the animals huddled together and asked, "Why are they all locked up?"
Jiang Lili frowned slightly: "I guess something happened."
When everyone was puzzled, a figure ran towards them from a distance. A tanned, short herdsman ran towards them.
He was wearing a short shirt and a gray linen scarf around his waist. When he saw Jiang Lili, who was dressed in white clothes as white as snow on horseback, his eyes lit up and he shouted behind him, "Great! The goddess is here with the divine envoys. We are saved!"
Wen Qiao looked at the simple herdsman and said, "Are you a herdsman here? What happened here? Shouldn't it be time to graze the cattle? Why are all these animals locked up together?"
After listening to Wen Qiao's questions, the herdsman told them one by one. His name was Xiya. His ancestors had lived in Panyue grassland for generations. He was a herdsman with a long history here, a good horse trainer, and the recognized big brother among these herdsmen.
"Our Panyue Pasture has a long history and is good at breeding and selecting high-quality cattle and sheep and raising purebred BMWs."
Xi Ya's brows were filled with worry. "You don't know, Lord God's Envoy, that in the past few days, we have lost 32 horse king-level BMWs. These BMWs are the highest quality purebred BMWs that our ancestors have spent hundreds of years selecting."
Jiang Lili and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Thirty-two of such a precious herd of horses were lost in one go?
"If we can't find it back, then our ancestors' hundred years of hard work will be in vain." At this point, Xi Ya's face was full of guilt: "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of it."
A group of herdsmen in the distance came over at Xiya's call. They all comforted him, "How can you be blamed for this? It's because those Moon Tribe members are too domineering and powerful. How can you, with your tiny body, fight against them?"
"In the final analysis, it was because the Goddess took over the Seashell Ranch that the Royal Guards were forced to withdraw. It was during this gap that these barbarians took advantage of."
Jiang Lili and others were surprised to hear these herdsmen say that the horses were stolen by the Moon Tribe people who lived in seclusion on the top of the mountain.
Hearing the doubts of the herdsmen, Xiya shook his head in disapproval and looked at Jiang Lili and her group with hope: "The gods are very powerful, there must be a way to find the lost horses."
Being looked at by Xiya with such enthusiasm, Jiang Lili, Wen Qiao and the others did not respond directly.
Xin Che's face was solemn, and he asked in a dignified tone, "Are you sure it was the Moon Clan who came down from the top of the mountain to the mountainside and stole these 32 horses?"
The herdsman who had just spoken lowered his voice unconsciously, and said weakly with his neck stiffened: "Otherwise, is there anyone else on this mountain?"
"Did you see with your own eyes that it was a member of the Moon Clan?"
Xin Che's question stumped the herdsmen. After a moment's hesitation, they said, "We only saw a few tall and mighty figures, but they also dropped a beast bone dagger that they usually use!"
The herdsman who was speaking took out a handkerchief, and inside the handkerchief was a dagger made of animal bones that showed obvious signs of use.
Wen Qiao dismounted and took the dagger. It was indeed the animal bone dagger commonly used by the Moon Clan.
Another herdsman pointed to the road leading up the mountain and said, "Also, there is a long trail of horse hoof prints extending from the pasture to the top of the mountain... They must have been left by our thirty-two horses!"
"Perhaps after a hundred years, the Moon Clan in the mountains have become accustomed to a secluded life and are preparing to come down the mountain and gradually conquer our Mi Kingdom."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became noisy.
Many herdsmen had panic on their faces. Their fear of the Moon Tribe on the mountain was not just a day or two. Their ancestors had lived under the shadow of the ferocious Moon Tribe for generations. They still could not forget the tragic scene where those members of the royal guard were pierced by arrows and spears before they could successfully reach the top of the mountain.
