Chapter 2794: Traveling in the Sand Sea with My Wife
Jiang Fan closed the map in his hand and squinted at the endless sand dunes in front of him: "According to the map given by Feng Chen, it should be here."
The empress was covered with a layer of Gang Qi, blocking out the wind and sand.
"Is it really under the yellow sand?"
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: "It is said that in early March every year, there will be an extremely terrifying sandstorm, and at that time, the Golden City can briefly reveal its true appearance."
The empress nodded: "The time is approaching. Let's wait here for a few days."
The two found a large weathered stone, hollowed out the interior, and turned it into a temporary residence. Jiang Fan took out a piece of dried meat and handed it to the empress.
The empress frowned: "This Lishan meat jerky is indeed delicious, and it is also a good military ration, but I have been eating this all these days, and I really have no appetite."
Jiang Fan smiled when he heard this: "As a husband, he must take good care of his wife no matter where and when she wants to eat fresh food. Isn't this easy? Just wait."
The empress was stunned: "This is the sea of death sand, with no life for thousands of miles..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Jiang Fan had already emerged from the hole and disappeared into the wind and sand.
The empress couldn't help but laugh, this young gentleman...
For fourteen days, he held her in his arms, holding Xiao Xixi around his neck, and ran for ten thousand miles on the pretext that he was converting his true energy and had poor breathing. He was angry, and he took the opportunity to indulge in the little woman's addiction.
Don't tell me, it's really comfortable to be taken care of. I have traveled thousands of miles without touching the ground, and even my boots are as clean as new. And following this guy, I don't even suffer from food and drink. He can always find all kinds of ingredients in the wilderness. The rare game meat is almost the same.
I just don’t know what tricks he can come up with in this sea of deathless sand.
After more than an hour, Jiang Fan came back, holding two snakes in his hands, and they had been skinned and cleaned.
"This thing..." The Empress frowned, disgusted. Xiao Xixi didn't have to eat anything at all, and she wasn't even interested in this stuff. She just took one look at it and started to chirp, turning over and sleeping with the wine gourd in her arms.
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "It's good to find this in the desert. And, believe me, this meat is very fragrant."
As he said that, he took out his knife and started cutting it. After a while, he finished processing it, put it on and started baking it. The flame of his barbecue was actually simulated Xuanhuang Sutra essence. This barbecue technique started in Northern Xinjiang and now, Mr. Jiang has finally figured it out, and his control of the heat has surpassed that of Tian Yuan.
The empress looked at the clean snake meat and asked, "Where did you find the water?"
"What luck, I discovered Haizi after I went out for eighty miles. Judging from the surface conditions, it was probably where the river passed a long time ago. If my guess is correct, this is the river that the Golden City relied on for its survival. However, , now it seems that it will dry up soon.”
The empress asked: "Is it possible that this is the last source of water for the guards in the Golden City?"
Jiang Fan hummed: "I think so, but we didn't deliberately avoid anyone, but we didn't meet the legendary Golden Guard."
The empress said: "This place is deserted, and I think they should stay in a place where they can survive. It is covered with yellow sand everywhere. No one can find the entrance, and there is no need to guard it at ordinary times."
Jiang Fan said: "But we have traveled hundreds of miles around and found nothing. Where will their gathering place be? A more distant place?"
The empress pondered for a moment: "Do you still remember that when Zhang Zaifu talked about the Golden Lion King, he once mentioned that the Golden Guard came out of the ground."
Jiang Fan was stunned: "You don't mean to say that they live underground, right?"
The empress said: "There are countless secret realms in the world, so this is not impossible."
Having said this, Jiang Fan couldn't help but think of Yunchi, and suddenly felt that although it was unbelievable, it was indeed possible.
"Forget it, they didn't show up anyway, let's just wait. I think when Golden City shows up, they will probably show up too. By the way, how is your transformation going?"
The empress' eyes brightened slightly: "I have to say that Hua Qianzhen, a genius, with the elixir and the elixir formation, the transformation speed is faster than imagined. I estimate that by the time we return, the transformation will be almost complete."
Jiang Fan was also very surprised: "That's great, your cultivation will be needed then."
The empress said: "But during this period, you have to pay more attention. Whether it is the Golden Guard or the Golden Lion King, I cannot fight against them, otherwise it will disturb the energy."
Jiang Fan stretched out his intact left hand: "Don't worry, I have fully recovered. Although I dare not say that I can fight against the strongest man in the Western Region, if I escape, I believe no one can stop me."
The empress shook her head: "Don't underestimate the Golden Lion King. This old lion has been famous for hundreds of years. The fearless lion seal dominates the Western Region. He is probably no less powerful than Dao Zun."
Jiang Fan nodded: "It's okay, he also has a son with us, plus Zhang Zaifu's acquaintance, I have to think about it, and I think this person may not be an enemy. Don't forget, the Golden City is a hundred enemies of the reverse god Li Wujiang was created, and the Golden Lion Family has been guarding the Golden City."
The Empress nodded: "Before everything is finally confirmed, it's best to be cautious."
Jiang Fan smiled and handed her a bunch: "Try it. It will be dark after eating. Let's go to the sand dunes to see the moonlight on the sand sea. It must be very magnificent."
A hint of longing appeared on the empress's face: "I have never left the Huayu. This trip to the west, I saw endless exotic scenery along the way. As you said, there are thousands of scenery in the world, all of which are so shocking to the soul. I even feel that my mood is... There are great changes, and the realm may need to be improved accordingly.”
Jiang Fan was a little surprised, but thinking about it, he loved traveling everywhere, no matter in his past life or in this life. Everywhere he saw new scenery, he always had feelings, which was both a shock to the soul and a cleansing at the same time.
"The world is big, do you still remember our agreement? In the future, we will set sail to the sea, travel all over the world, and see the infinite scenery of this human home... As for the Great Qin, we should leave it to future generations. We will always You have to have your own life and don’t be trapped in state affairs for the rest of your life..."
The empress was naturally yearning for it, but she finally shook her head and smiled: "It's not possible right now. I think Sima Ji should have seen something at this moment."
Jiang Fan retracted his thoughts that he had already flown to the distant horizon: "It's about time. As long as he can withstand the first wave of attacks, the follow-up arrangements will naturally follow."
"You are bold enough. Sima Ji is like a grassroots person, it is hard for others to believe him."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "I have never believed him, so it is impossible to tell him the plan. If he can't handle it, some plans will be pushed ahead of schedule. In short, the general direction will never deviate."
The empress hummed: "This time it is your decision as Tiance's military advisor, and you have the final say. Next, Jin and Chu will form an alliance, so Xia State feels the crisis and seeks an ally in Wei State. Wei State will definitely not let this opportunity go."
