Chapter 347: Finished! Connection failed!
Sheng Zhixing turned his head and met a pair of exotic amber eyes.
A man with a white veil covering his face approached him with a silver dagger in his hand. He was wearing a turban, and the white veil hanging from the turban covered most of his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with very fair skin. He wore a loose silk light yellow short robe, a pair of lightweight bloomers, a pair of boots made of special material, and his body was covered in sand.
Sheng Zhixing realized that this person might be the reinforcement the king invited from a distant desert tribe!
At this moment he had no way to retreat, and he didn't know how skilled this foreign man was. If he rashly started fighting with this foreign man, he would probably alert the enemy!
But fortunately, he still has the identity of an old man to cover up.
He quickly put on a panicked expression, his eyes widened: "Young man, I just strayed into this place by mistake, and came to see if there is anything I can find here!"
When carrying out the mission, Sheng Zhixing was deliberately disguised. His gray hair was messy and the clothes he wore were very shabby, making it easy for people to mistake him for a homeless person at first glance.
The alien man's voice was inquiring, and his amber eyes narrowed: "Are you a scavenger around here?"
Sheng Zhixing nodded quickly and took out all the junk he had prepared from his pocket - conch shells, shells, useless copper coins, and dried kelp scraped off the rocks -
The foreign man looked at him with disdain and moved a little further away.
Sheng Zhixing's mind was racing at this moment. This foreigner didn't look like someone from the Great Sheng world at all, and he came from a very far place, possibly not even on the same continent. So why did he speak the Chinese language so fluently?
Sheng Zhixing's clever brain suddenly realized that this person was probably also a member of their class! He just traveled through time and space to another race! So although he looked like an alien, he was fluent in Chinese.
Sheng Zhixing quickly said the code for the meeting: "Odd changes, even remains the same——"
His heart was pounding with excitement and he was full of anticipation.
Hahaha, that's great, the alien reinforcements the king invited are from his own class! How can this not be considered shooting oneself in the foot?
It’s stable!
This is a sure thing!
However, Sheng Zhixing, who was secretly delighted, heard the foreigner say in confusion:
"What chicken or dog?"
In an instant, a shower of cold water poured over Sheng Zhixing's excited heart.
Huh? No, they are from the same class?!
Are they just foreigners who are proficient in Chinese?
But how come he can speak it so fluently, just like his mother tongue?
It’s over!!!
The alien man narrowed his eyes and grabbed Sheng Zhixing's arm: "What are you talking about?"
He recalled that what the old man had just said seemed like the first half of a sentence, and might very well be a slogan.
The man's aura suddenly became dangerous, and his eyes swept towards Sheng Zhixing as sharp as an eagle: "Are there any of your companions around here?"
"What companions? I'm just an old wandering man, how can I have any companions?"
Sheng Zhixing is walking on thin ice. This tall guy has well-developed limbs and a smart mind!
Such a keen sense of smell.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Sheng Zhixing knew that he could no longer rashly use street codes or make various hints to modern people, otherwise it would only make this person more suspicious!
"Since you are alone and have no one to rely on, then come and join us."
The foreign man took out a bundle of thin ropes from his waist and tied Sheng Zhixing's hands. "We just need a local who is familiar with this area."
Sheng Zhixing was taken away by foreigners.
Sheng Zhixing used the group chat camera to take a picture of the alien's appearance and attire and sent it to the group, then frantically tagged Jiang Lili and Wen Qiao for help.
[@盛执星: Li Li, I was taken away by the reinforcements invited by the king! He looks like a white person from the Middle East, but he speaks Chinese fluently. I suspect he is one of my classmates, but I told him the code "odd changes, even does not change" and he didn't understand it at all. It's very strange! How can there be a foreigner who speaks Chinese so fluently? ]
[@Wen Qiao: Don't panic! Just follow him and see where he takes you. It's a good opportunity for us to get inside and understand the situation. If you encounter danger, we will immediately send you a weapon that can shoot all these people! ]
[@盛执星: OK, maybe I am overthinking it. Maybe this foreigner has been in Dasheng or a nearby country for a long time and has a strong talent for languages. He speaks Chinese as fluently as his mother tongue.]
When Jiang Lili saw the message sent by Sheng Zhixing, she suddenly remembered something very crucial!
There were twenty-eight students from their class on the bus, but there were actually twenty-nine people!
There is also an uncle who drives a bus!
【@江麗麗: Could it be that the driver also traveled through time? Did he forget or never learn the mathematical slogan “Odd numbers change, but even numbers don’t change”?】
Jiang Lili's words awakened Sheng Zhixing.
[@盛执星: It is possible! But there are other possibilities. Anyway, I won't contact him for now. I will just have to adapt to the situation.]
Jiang Lili worriedly reminded Sheng Zhixing to be careful and pay attention to safety, and then asked Xiaopang to go with the organization to investigate the identity of the bus driver with the bus company.
In the afternoon, with the coordinates provided by Sheng Zhixing, Jiang Lili and Xin Che successfully led the herdsmen to find the mudflat where Xiya hid the herd of horses.
The members of the royal guard who were guarding the mudflat were extremely surprised to see a large group of herdsmen coming towards them, but they were outnumbered and faced with the aggressive Jiang Lili and others, they had to give up struggling.
The herdsmen were completely disappointed with the king at this moment!
Because in the warehouses and sheds on the mudflat, they not only found the horses that had been missing for several days, but also their stolen property.
It is now clear who set the fire on the mountain.
The herders led the horses that had been missing for several days out one by one from the sheds they built on the mudflats, and they were so excited that they burst into tears. Their ancestors had cultivated the purebred bloodline for so many years! After being missing for so many days, they were finally found!
When the horses saw the herdsmen who fed them day and night, their tails kept sweeping. These days, they were in an unfamiliar environment and there were no herdsmen to take good care of them.
They can't eat well or sleep well, and now they look listless and in very bad condition.
An hour ago, Wen Qiao took the memory card from the surveillance camera in the king's room and gave it to Xiaopang.
At this time, Xiaopang's assistant checked the surveillance video and extracted the conversation between the king and the prime minister. He learned that these horses were a trap set by foreigners to lure them into the desert. He quickly asked Xiaopang to notify Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili immediately urged these unarmed herdsmen to leave the mudflat.
