1493 Knowing

Peng ze got on the camel and took out the little thing that Gu Nian had given him to point him in the right direction. He then identified the direction and took the lead.
Lu Zheng rode on his camel and followed closely behind Peng ze.
“Second sister gave it to me. She knew I was coming.” Peng ze tilted his head and explained to Lu Zheng, ” Xue Er went to lange Kingdom to look for you. If they saw the mark you left behind, they would definitely come looking for you. By the way, did you leave any marks?”
“Yes.” Lu Zheng nodded.
He had left marks all along the way using the Pengze Navy’s method. Xue Qianyu had been in the Navy for so long last year, so he naturally learned how to recognize these secret codes.
according to the map, we will reach a collapsed stone house in another two hours. It has been cleaned up by someone, and it is the place where the Lang GE Kingdom rested on the way to the West of the desert. Peng ze paused for a moment and continued, ” you’re injured. Let’s rest for four hours and leave at dawn. When the time came, they would head north. That was a desert area that the langes had never been to, and the pursuers should not be able to catch up. When the time comes, we’ll go north of the water source on the map, and they’ll only take the road they’ve taken. After bypa.s.sing a few tribes, we will be able to reach quicksand country. Third younger sister is currently in quicksand country.”
“How did Xinxin get to quicksand country? Is she alright?” Lu Zheng asked.
“She was saved by Cheng huaijin. After escaping from the sand divine Kingdom, they went in the wrong direction and went all the way Southwest. After crossing a Snow Mountain, they will reach the territory of the lange Kingdom.” Peng ze glanced at Lu Zheng. she said that if she had not met Cheng huaijin that day, she would have been captured by the soldiers sent by the lange Kingdom to guard the snow Mountain. Even if she didn’t get caught, she might have died.”
Lu Zheng frowned. He did not like to hear that.
If it weren’t for the Cheng siblings, Xinxin wouldn’t have fallen for Yin Yingli’s trick.
“Zhou Yuan, the Lang GE Kingdom has blocked the pa.s.sage from the East and the West. I came over from the snow Mountain, just like you. So, even if Cheng huaijin recognized third sister, he wasn’t confident that he could safely send her to kunzhou. So, he brought third sister to his place.” Pengze said.
“I know.” Lu Yang paused and asked again, ” then how did they send the letter? ”
Peng ze looked at the pointer in his hand and confirmed that it was in the right direction. Then, he started talking about the letters between Gu Xin and the Gu family, as well as the collusion between the langge Kingdom and the Yunhai tribe.
“I know that. I heard it when I entered King lang GE’s dormitory. I’ve already written a letter to second uncle. I just don’t know if King lang GE’s reaction is fast or not. If he’s fast, the pigeon probably won’t be able to fly back. If he’s slow, it’s possible.” Lu Yang said.
“I set off with Xue Qianyu after receiving third sister’s letter. It’s been a few days.” Pengze was not sure if the pigeon had flown back.
“I found it on the first day of the first month.” Lu Zheng told her the time.
“We came out early, so we didn’t know the pigeon flew back.” Peng ze nodded and said.
“Does the map show the time needed to reach quicksand country? We’ve been walking in the desert for a few days, how long will it take to reach quicksand country?” Lu Zheng asked again.
“You see for yourself! I don’t know the time, but the distance from where we are now to the cities in the desert of the lange Kingdom is shown.” Peng ze tossed the map to Lu Zheng.
He had thought about stealing the map a long time ago. He just wanted to give it a try. The Lang GE Kingdom and the West of the desert had formed an alliance, so how could they not move around?
