Ning chaner also felt that someone was approaching. Her beautiful eyes suddenly appeared and wanted to kill people and seize horses, but she changed her mind. I don''t know where she turned out a dark brown robe, which was the same style as Chen Hai''s body. She put the robe on her body and wrapped her proud figure in it, revealing only a small face as big as her palm.


    At this time, Ning chaner took off the veil on her face. Chen Hai turned around and found that her charming face suddenly became commonplace again, as if she were a personal waitress traveling with him -- Chen Hai knew that Ning chaner was destroying the essence between the orifices and veins of her face and distorting the muscles of her face in order to change her face, but it was very rare that he could not see any flaws.


    Ning chaner''s performance was just like a personal waitress. When seven strange riders -- a man full of flesh or scars -- approached, she hid behind Chen Hai and cowered, as if she was afraid that the seven people would drag her out and rape her on the spot.


    All the visitors wear spirit armor. The Yellow level spirit armor is not very strong, but the prohibition of Taoist seal script engraved has a hidden influence on the vitality of heaven and earth. Once they encounter a raid, they will immediately show their invincible power.


    These seven people all have spiritual cultivation accomplishments. They carry a big bow, wear a knife and tie a sword around their waist, each hold a long gun and a halberd, and the Royal Horse spreads into a semi arc to vaguely surround Chen Hai and Ning chaner. Their sharp eyes like a knife sweep around Chen Hai and Ning chaner''s faces, but they don''t take the initiative to ask Chen Hai about their origin.


    This group of people looked ferocious and unusual, but they didn''t look like ordinary horse thieves. They looked well-trained and more like fierce soldiers patrolling the desert.


    "Yao Xing has seen many generals. My master and servant went west to tieliu mountain and wanted to travel to the Western Qiang countries. They never wanted to lose their way in the wind and snow. Dare you ask generals, where is this place?" Chen Hai, towering and burly, walked up behind the boulder and arched his hands and asked.


    "My name is Hu Bilie, Yao''s surname in Yanzhou!" the leader is a strong man with a beard and face. He has the cultivation accomplishments in the later stage of the spirit realm. There are two scars across his face. He can''t see how old he is. His fierce eyes like a knife stare at Chen Hai. Although he has an eagle nose and deep eyes and is a Qiang Hu, he is very familiar with the situation in Yanzhou, I won''t easily believe Chen Hai''s words.


    "Yes, the Yao family is a royal family in Yanzhou. My ancestors are still involved with Yao Jing, who lives in Yanjing, but I can''t keep up with him at this time." Chen Hai said with a smile.


    "Where are your horses?" Hu Bilie asked.


    Such a heavy wind and snow is by no means affordable to those spoiled patriarchal children in Yanzhou; Chen Hai is a burly man with a slightly bloated face and a full beard. He has several shallow scars crisscross and looks ferocious and brave. He is never like a spoiled son of a patriarchal sect, or even more like a spy sent by a horse thief.


    "The horses produced in Yanzhou can''t stand the cold weather. They both fell dead in a few days at tieliuling. My master and servant are unwilling to give up halfway. They have been walking for three days and nights in this snowy day, and they don''t know how far they have deviated from the old road of Xiqiang." Chen Hai calmly explained.


    "If you walk three or four hundred miles south, you can see the northern ridge of wushao ridge, which is where the old path of the Western Qiang is located. However, if you continue to walk blindly on this snowy day, no matter how high your accomplishments will end up," said the man who claimed to be Hu Bilie, who couldn''t see through Chen Hai''s details, and his fierce eyes stopped his restless men, "We happen to escort a caravan back to the Western Qiang country. If you don''t mind walking with us to Yequ mountain to visit your friends, you can borrow a horse to help you. When you go to the Western Qiang country, you can pay us some money appropriately."


    He said he invited Chen hai to go with them, but Hu Bilie did not allow Chen hai to refuse and motioned his men to give up a horse.


    Each of the ten people had an empty horse tied behind him. A knight stabbed the lame horse with a long halberd and asked Chen Hai and Ning chaner to ride the lame horse together.


    Chen Hai wondered if he didn''t want to go with them, would the seven people start with them immediately?


    "It''s great for you to have company along the way. As for Yequ mountain, I''ve seen records about Yequ mountain in ancient books. It''s said that there is a famous black mountain Yequ in the depths of the desert, and a spiritual spring gushes out of the rocky land in the south of the mountain to drink the hard journey. How can I have a chance to have a look this time? Thank you!" Chen Hai thanked each other and said perfunctorily, while secretly trying to figure out the identity and origin of the seven people.


    After winter, even though the environment of Xixia corridor is better than the desert in the north, it is also extremely cruel. If you don''t pay attention to it, with the foundation of tongxuan territory and martial arts cultivation, you may die in the wind and snow. Ordinary caravans won''t choose to travel west at this time. In front of you, these people are not like horse thieves, but they have to go to the horse thief''s nest to visit some friends. Who believes they are the escort of any caravan ？


    Which forces sent the seven spies? At this time, they ran to contact the horse thieves in Yequ mountain. What are their attempts? Do you want to detain them directly for interrogation, but will Ning chaner make trouble?


    "I''m taking anti Lingsan," said Ning chaner, who probably saw Chen Hai''s hesitation, rode up from behind and hugged Chen Hai''s back. He didn''t mind riding with Chen Hai intimately.


    Ning chaner''s warm embrace made Chen hairu sit on a needle felt, but her words still moved him in his heart.


    The scale of the horse thieves in Yequ mountain is not large, but if these people really want to lure them into the horse thief''s nest and start again, Chen Hai will not take this risk easily.


    Leaving the Xixia corridor, the number of oases in the depths of the desert, regardless of size, is extremely limited. Besides, the Yongquan in Yequ mountain is a rare Lingquan. The horsemen who can occupy Yequ mountain, even if they are only two or three hundred people, can not be despised.


    Chen Haigang still wanted to take the horse and leave directly, and didn''t want to rush into the horse thief''s nest. However, hearing that Ning chaner said that she took the anti spirit powder with her, he thought he would follow Hu Bilie to Yequ mountain, but they had a better chance of winning.


    Rather cicada Er tracked him all the way to the vast desert, but it was not the key for him to be surrounded and killed by horse thieves.


    Perhaps he noticed that Chen Hai joined with more people, so the wolves didn''t chase after them from behind and disappeared in the depths of the vast sand sea. Chen Hai followed Hu Bilie to Yequ mountain without seeing the trace of the wolves.


    Yequ mountain and the black stone ridge seen by Chen Haiyan road are the remnants of Taiwei mountain exposed to the ground.


    The trunk of Taiwei mountain is only more than 10000 Li. It is connected to Tengjiao mountain in Tianshui County in the East. In the past, Fujiao mountain is the continuous Jue mountain at the Western foot of Qintong. From Taiwei mountain to the west, it is the residual veins of Mazong mountain and tieliu mountain stretching 2000 Li. If you count the residual veins of Yequ mountain, the earth vein of Taiwei mountain extends nearly 30000 Li.


    When Chen Hai came out of Mazong mountain, the Black Hills seen along the road were only more than 100 meters or tens of meters high, intermittently like road signs in the depths of the vast desert, while the main peak of Yequ mountain was four or five hundred meters high.


    When Chen Hai arrived at Yequ mountain with the seven people, the wind and snow had stopped. The vast desert was covered with a layer of white snow. Yequ mountain looked particularly high in the vast sand sea and snow field.


    Yequ mountain is a semi arc-shaped mountain, stretching for seven or eight miles. Yequ spring flows out from the foot of the mountain in the south of the mountain and converges into a shallow lake the size of 100 mu at the south foot of the mountain, forming an oasis with four or five thousand mu of rare trees and meadows.


    After twists and turns for more than ten days, four or five thousand miles in the depths of the desert, Chen Hai was shocked to see such a spiritual oasis, whether or not it was entrenched by powerful horse thieves.


    "It is said that although Yequ mountain is small, it is a pearl in the depths of the desert. Does brother Yao feel it?" Hu Bilie reined his horse at the edge of the oasis, turned back and asked Chen Hai with a smile.


    "Yes, historical records record that in the early years, the dayanbian army built a fortress here, filled with elite to resist the barbarians of Hu and Ma and protect the smooth main road of Western Qiang. The stone stronghold at the foot of the mountain is probably the camp built by the dayanbian army in the early years." Chen Hai pointed his whip at the small stone city at the foot of the mountain and talked and laughed with Hu Bilie. It seems that he doesn''t know the world, He did not see the murderous and contemptuous smile hidden in Hu Bilie''s eyes.


    "Don''t mention the historical records. Twenty years ago, Emperor Yitian sent troops and horses to Yequ mountain when he conquered the Qiang in the West. However, Emperor Yitian was killed by our Qiang coalition forces on the Bank of the firewood cutting lake, and the military stronghold of Yequ mountain fell down," Hu Bilie said about the past 20 years ago. He couldn''t help laughing, as if laughing at emperor Yitian''s excess of power and waving his whip at Xiaoshi city, He said, "now my friends live here and build cities and bases. They are now the city masters of Yequ City, but they have not been canonized by the Western Qiang state for the time being."


    Yequ mountain says that the city is a little reluctant. Xiaoshi city is about Li long. It is close to the stream mouth gushing from the mountain by Yequ spring. There are buildings such as arrow tower and sentry tower, which completely controls the small Yequ lake within the range of arrow tower.


    In addition to the small stone city, there are two or three hundred small and dilapidated houses scattered on the edge of the oasis. Most of them are stone through the earth. They are very simple. Some women and children in ragged clothes poke their heads out of the earth houses leaking everywhere and look numbly at Chen Hai''s visitors.


    On the South Bank of Yequ lake, thousands of mu of land have been reclaimed, and canals have been opened to divert water from Yequ lake for irrigation. It was a cold winter and no one could be seen working in the fields. However, on the south slope of Yequ mountain, there was a quarry. Under the supervision of the supervisor, nearly 1000 people were digging out large pieces of hard stones and transporting them down the mountain. A larger stone stockade was being built in the south of Xiaoshi city.


    According to their appearance, there are Yanzhou people and qianghu people, but most of them are ragged, yellow and skinny. They must be slaves captured and enslaved by horse thieves.


    Chen Hai didn''t expect that there were only 300 or 400 horse thieves, and he also had the intention to operate Yequ mountain next to the old road of Western Qiang. It''s really rare.
