After Ouyang Qing's introduction, Su Peng met these five people.

The one-eyed man, called the one-eyed vulture Xue Kun, two brothers from the Western Regions, named Atole and Bigu Zaji, nicknamed the Twin Wolves of the Western Regions, the woman with a hot body is called Singina, who is a half-breed, and his mother is a Hu man from a place further west than the Great Moon Country, nicknamed Sand Scorpion, and the Great Moon Man is called Aziz Iben, nicknamed Moon Wolf.

The one-eyed vulture Xue Kun is an underworld figure who has committed a big crime in the Central Plains, the two Western Regions brothers nicknamed the Twin Wolves of the Western Regions, are half-bounty hunters, but occasionally make cameo appearances as robbers, the mixed-race bearded girl Xinjina is a pure bounty hunter, and the big moon man Ibn is a knife cultivator who came to the Central Plains to sharpen his sword skills, but this person is very lustful, and he has not left Xinjina's twin peaks since he came here.

After Su Peng got acquainted with these people, he asked everyone to sit down, and said to himself: "You are all friends found by my brother Ouyang Qing, I can trust it in terms of strength, I will make a long story short, this mission is to explore the desert, the deadline is uncertain, there is a danger of death, and the reward is just as generous, if you go together, you will have one hundred taels of gold first, and after you come back, you will pay two hundred taels of gold, and those who have meritorious service will add more." ”

Listening to Su Peng's words, Dayue Swordsman Ibn licked his lips and said, "One hundred taels of gold more than the market, yes, I did this." ”

"We're fine." The pair of Western Regions brothers also nodded in agreement.

The other two also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, the matter is decided, set off tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and you can collect the deposit of one hundred taels of gold first."

Su Peng said, saying, and distributed five golden tickets of one hundred taels of gold to these five people.

When distributing the golden tickets, Su Peng sighed slightly, remembering that when he was in the Five Cities Alliance, he was still a swordsman who received other people's golden tickets to contribute his strength, and now. It's my turn to hand out golden tickets to others.

However, this also shows from the side that Su Peng's status in the rivers and lakes is slowly improving.

After distributing the golden tickets, the five warriors went to make preparations before departure, and Su Peng also sat down with Ouyang Qing to discuss the future itinerary plan......

Time passed quickly, and after a night's rest, the next day at about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the escort of Qiuzi Qiancheng and the caravan of Adullah were among the people. As well as several martial arts figures, they are all ready.

Su Peng gave the order to set off overnight and set off towards the desert!

It's just that when leaving the gate of Xicheng, outside Qiuzi Qiancheng, it seems that another team of chariots and horses came from the direction of Yangyuguan, and at the same time that Su Peng's team left the city, they entered Qiuzi Qiancheng.

Su Peng didn't know what to say, in a carriage in the team. There was a middle-aged man sitting with his eyes closed, and that person was the head of Dongfang Academy that Su Peng had seen in Qixian Villa, Dongfang Ju......

……

In the blink of an eye. Seven days have passed.

The team organized by Su Peng also began to advance into the hinterland of the desert, which was already far away from Qiuzi Qiancheng.

At noon on the ninth day, Su Peng rode a camel. In the midst of the procession, they continued their journey through the rolling yellow sand desert, on the two camels beside him. It's Adula and Ouyang Qing.

Before setting out, Adullah bought one hundred and forty or fifty camels, most of which were camels with supplies.

Su Peng heard Adullah mention that camels are essential livestock for crossing the desert, otherwise people can't carry so many supplies, and if you want to cross the desert, the ratio of camels to people must be at least five to one, otherwise water and materials will definitely not be enough.

For this expedition, I don't know how long it will take, so all kinds of supplies are prepared.

Su Peng rode a camel, his eyes were a little deep, and he could faintly see a worried look.

"Brother Ouyang, how far are we from where you last explored?"

Su Peng wore a turban on his head and said to Ouyang Qing.

"It's almost there, that expedition has only been in the desert for fourteen or fifteen days, this time we are walking much faster than the last time, and now we are almost there."

Ouyang Qing tugged at the scarf that covered his face to prevent inhaling the grit, and said to Su Peng.

Su Peng nodded, and said to Adulla on the other side: "Adula, how far is this from the location of the Ancient City of Senhell that you speculated?" ”

"It's about the same as Ouyang's swordsman's calculation, the location I calculated, it's probably around here, with your compass positioning, there is no deviation in the direction we walk."

Adullah said to Su Peng.

Su Peng nodded, before leaving, he could let Adulla and Ouyang Qing check the information of the Dao and determine the direction of the Ancient City of the Prison Prison, but he only knew the general Dao, but he did not really determine the location.

"Leader Su, in the past two days, we have found some people passing through the desert, leaving some traces, those people, it is likely that they are the other team you mentioned, I estimate that they are traveling faster than us, probably a day or two faster than us."

Adula looked at the endless yellow sand and sand dunes around him, and said another message to Su Peng.

"yes...... I could already smell a hint of their breath, and, Brother Su, I seemed to have a feeling as if something was watching us. ”

Ouyang Qing also said beside him.

Su Peng, who was on the camel, heard this, and his heart couldn't help but move.

He also felt a little abnormal, it was not obvious a few days ago, but in the past few days, Su Peng also felt this.

"Be careful, send more people to keep vigil at night, those few hired masters, they should be used, in short, be careful these days."

Su Peng said to Ouyang Qing and Adula.

The two nodded, the desert was windy and sandy, and it was not suitable to talk while walking, and the three of them put on their scarves and continued to walk towards the desert.

That night, Su Peng and the others walked to about nine o'clock in the night before they stopped camping.

On this night, the time should be around the first day of the new year, the moon in the sky disappeared, I don't know why, the stars that should be in the sky did not appear, and the night was dark.

After dinner, it was already ten o'clock in the night, in such a night, the desert was extremely cold, most of the guards of Qiuzi Qiancheng had already entered the tents set up and held wool blankets to keep warm, and only a few guards were still keeping vigil.

Just outside the edge of the silent camp, six or seven men armed with scimitars, all hidden in black, stalked like ghosts in the night, and silently sneaked into the camp.

These black-clothed people are very vigorous in their movements, sneaking in the desert, and they only leave footprints on the sand, which is also a shallow trace, showing the superb light skills of these black-clothed people.

In the camp, although there were guards who kept vigil, those guards were obviously absent-minded, most of them were dozing, they didn't think that there would be any attacks at night, and their spirits were very relaxed.

These six or seven black shadows with scimitars quickly entered the camp like ghosts, they moved extremely quickly and agilely, as if they were special forces who had infiltrated and attacked professionally, and soon sneaked into the vicinity of the guards who were guards, and they took advantage of the guards to doze off, sneaked over to cover the mouths of those guards, and stabbed one by one, and quickly put down seven or eight guards.

There didn't seem to be many sentry posts in the entire camp, and after killing seven or eight sentry guards, there seemed to be no sentry in the camp.

A total of seven black-clothed people quickly gathered and quietly came to the camp together, there was a thicker, more luxurious and larger tent than other tents, Su Peng usually lived here at night.

The seven black-clothed men surrounded the luxury tent where Su Peng was, glanced at each other, then nodded at the same time, and each took out a round thing from the bag he was carrying, and took out the fire fold.

The round thing that the seven people took out looked like a round container made of glass, full of pale yellow sticky things, and I don't know what the passage was, and on the round container, there was another lead.

The seven men in black took out the fire fold at the same time, opened it and burst into flames, then lit the fuse on it at the same time, and then threw the thing towards the luxury tent where Su Peng lived.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Poof!"

A series of slight sounds sounded, and it was thrown into the circular container of Su Peng's tent, and it burst immediately, and seven pillars of fire suddenly rose up, each of which was raging fire, it turned out that this round container contained an extremely strong fire oil, and after a special process, it formed an incendiary bomb-like thing, the special fire oil in it could not be extinguished by water at all, and the sound of the explosion was extremely subtle, and it was blown up by this thing, even if it was martial arts, it was inevitable to be contaminated and burned to death by the flames.

The seven men in black looked at the luxury tent that burned like a huge torch, with a sneer on their faces, and threw down the seven incendiary bombs, even if Su Peng's martial arts were superb, he couldn't escape death at this time.

"A few friends came to me in the middle of the night to play with fireworks, and they were really interested."

Just as the seven people were watching the pillar of fire burn, waiting for the people inside to be burned out by the flames and struggle, and then kill the leaks, suddenly there was a soft applause in the camp, and a man's voice sounded.

The seven men in black suddenly tensed up at the same time, and looked back in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw Su Peng wearing a green coat, clapping and walking out of a tent that was supposed to be an ordinary guard's residence, beside him, it was Ouyang Qing and a pair of brothers from the Western Regions, as well as Adula.

Ouyang Qing walked behind Su Peng, and at this time, two fingers were placed in his mouth, and suddenly, a clear and melodious whistle sounded.

"Kill ......!"

In an instant, a light source lit up in the tent, and the two hundred guards and Adullah's subordinates rushed out of the tent with torches in their hands and surrounded the seven people.

And the five masters hired by Su Peng also appeared in four directions, surrounding these seven people in the middle.

"I have long felt that someone is peeping, it turned out to be these rats, so Brother Su, you are alert and set a trap, and now these rats have thrown themselves into the net."

Ouyang Qing said, as he spoke, he slowly pulled out his long knife from his waist, and said to the seven men in black: "Hey, I said rats, don't you still want to show your true colors?" ”

The seven men in black listened, and the eyes of the people behind them all fell on a tall man in black led by them.

The man in black who was the leader looked at Su Peng and the others for a while, then stretched out his hand and slowly took off his veil...... (To be continued......)
