    Seeing that he had given in, Chen Lu got on his horse and walked happily like everyone else.  The weather is changing, from bone-chilling cold at first to warm as spring.  After walking for more than ten miles, I felt a little hot.  Everyone was wearing winter clothes, and the excitement just now was gone. They took out their water bottles and drank water one after another.

    But it got hotter and hotter as we walked, and the sun seemed to be frozen in the sky, motionless. Everyone really had no strength.  Suddenly someone shouted: "Look, it's a big town."

    People stopped to watch, it was really a big town like Jiangnan.  The moat goes around the city, and tall buildings are lined up one after another. Pavilions, people in the streets, and transactions in the market can all be seen at a glance.

    There is a large lake in the center of the town, which everyone can see clearly, with cruise ships and tourists coming and going.  There are several temples on the mountainside, which are crowded with pilgrims and devoted men and women.  In wine shops and teahouses, people either sip tea and talk, or cook wine to make the wine look white.  Occasionally, there are luxurious guests in rich clothes, bright clothes and angry horses, and groups of servants, strutting through the market. Or there are small sedans in green clothes, charming maids, covering their faces to watch the scenery, and maids and women, waiting around, wearing jingle bells.

    The soldiers were all stunned and wished they could fly over with wings.  Li Da gave the order to move forward at full speed and sent the outposts to investigate.

    Chen Lu came over and said, "Do you mean to camp here? We have just walked less than fifty miles."

    Li Da said: "Supply food, grass and supplies here. Pass my order. When you get there, you are not allowed to enter the city and camp three miles outside the city."

    ??Everyone was energetic again and moved forward quickly.  After turning a corner, when I looked again, the town had disappeared.  After walking for another ten miles, we arrived at an endless desert with endless sand dunes as far as the eye could see.

    Ha San said: "This is official policy, that's right. Why hasn't the outpost returned yet?" So he sent out three more sentinels.  Everyone did not stop and chased at full speed.

    After walking more and more than 30 miles, not only did he not see the town, but the two whistle rides did not see the return.  It looks like a vast and swaying thing that looks like air but not air, like smoke but not smoke, shaking and jumping in the sun.

    Chen Lu walked through the desert. He knew that this was the earth's energy. They had reached the hinterland of the desert.  He felt bad, but he had clearly seen a big town just now. Everyone had seen it, so there was no mistaking it.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯m going the wrong way.  Chen Lu studied ancient and modern times, and searched in his memory. He remembered the record in "Mengxi Bi Tan": "In the sea of ??Dengzhou, there are clouds from time to time, such as palaces, terraces, battlements, people, carriages and horses, and crowns, which can be clearly seen.  It is called "sea market".  At that time, people thought it was a palace of gods.

    Chen Lu also thought of "The Theory of Mirages" written by Lin Jingxi in the Song Dynasty.  But they are all recorded at sea. Could they also be found in the desert?

    Is this an illusion, or is it a mansion in a certain realm in the ten directions of the world?  One thing he was sure of was that this should not be a big town in the world.

    Thinking of this, Chen Lu rushed to Li Da's car and said, "Sir, I Zicheng feels something is wrong. We have gone deep into the hinterland of the desert. What we just saw may be an illusion, or it may be a fairy cave. In short, there is none here. Inside  There must be something wrong. I suggest that the right team should change from the back team to the front team and go back to the original ice and snow world."

    Li Da didn¡¯t believe it, how could it be possible?  Everyone obviously saw it.  It was already Shenchu ??time at this time, and it was still burning like a furnace.  Li Da also felt uncomfortable with the heat and asked, "Are you saying that there might be a scam?"

    "Yeah, I feel like there was something wrong with the darkness just now. My mount is very smart, and I even scolded it." At this time, the big green horse snorted happily.

    Chen Lu said: "I understand, brother Gou'er, I misunderstood you and apologize to you. Can you find your way back?"

    The big green horse shook his head vigorously.  Starting from Li Da, all the soldiers saw him nagging his mount again and didn't know what he meant, but they were all used to it.

    Only Nalan understands. She has seen the big green horse many times and knows that it is extraordinary.  She had no judgment on this matter, but he believed Chen Lu. As long as Chen Lu said it, it was correct.

    Seeing him and the big green horse like this, Li Da panicked and quickly ordered: "The rear team becomes the front team, the camels clear the way, return to the original place, seeing the ice and snow is victory."

    Ha San ran over. He also felt something was wrong and agreed to return. He was thinking about the five sentries and asked if he wanted to wait a moment.  Li Da glanced at the vast smoky dunes in front of him and thought to himself, can he still come back?  All he said was: "Change your formation immediately."

    Chen Lu found that his wound was open again, so he didn't dare to say anything. He took out a piece of medical cloth and wiped it before throwing it on the ground.  He was afraid that others would see it, so he quietly pressed it with a stone.

    After everyone left for an hour, the weather seemed coldIt was a lot quieter, and the sun was about to set, but it looked different from the past. It was blood red and seemed to be a big red-hot iron circle.  This is a unique scenery in the desert.

    Ha San shouted to stop advancing, and the team stopped.  Hassan ran over angrily and said, "Two adults, we may be back to our original position. The wind didn't blow up, and our rut marks are still there."

    Li Da was taken aback. He got out of the car and took a look. He didn't see anything different. He said, "This is an official road. Of course there are a lot of ruts. I calculated the distance and it should be more than thirty miles."

    Ha San said: "It feels wrong to be humble. If there are ruts, there should be cars. We came and went without seeing a car, not even a mouse."

    These words caught Chen Lu's attention. He felt that what Ha San said made sense, so he looked around carefully.  Looking at the tracks, it should be the mission's car. He was not sure whether it had returned to the same place.

    Suddenly a stone came into view. He quickly kicked the stone away, and the medicine cloth suddenly appeared.  He told Li Da categorically.

    Li Da said: "It doesn't matter. Let's adjust the direction. There are so many horses and camels, and we can still get lost. Old horses know the way." He wanted to say that when we got lost in Hami that time, it was because someone cast a magic spell.

    So he ordered to set up camp on the spot without erecting a fence, and use the wood from the cart to make a fire and make a torch.

    Hasan said: "There is not much water, so we can't cook."

    Li Da said: "We can't leave then. Let's just stay one night. But we can't march at night in the desert."

    Ha San was busy making arrangements. He did not dare to use the buckets of water brought by the food sentry. He only cooked a little porridge for a few adults, and the others just chewed a mouthful of dry food.

    In this desert, it¡¯s extremely hot during the day and uncomfortably cold at night.  Chen Lu had experience in this area and had already told the soldiers.  The officers and soldiers did not expect that it would be even colder than the ice and snow over there.

    Chen Lu was not worried about any of this. What he was most worried about was the strong wind at night, which is the most deadly in the desert.  He suspected that the five sentries had been buried by the sand dunes.

    Chen Lu didn't dare to sleep. At the second watch, he really heard a strong wind roaring towards him.  He was taken aback, picked up the soldier's firecracker and fired several shots into the air.  He put down the gun and quickly looked into the sky. A dark cloud pressed over him, and soon it reached the top of his head, squeaking.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
