C40

Just as she was about to shout for everyone to leave, a wet cloth came from her mouth. Before Lu Qing could take it, the cloth had already touched her lips. She wiped it very carefully, not leaving a single piece of her skin.

After that, a cup of warm water was handed over for her to rinse her mouth with. Lu Qing took a deep breath and washed her mouth twice before handing it to Yu Mingchuan.

Taking big steps, Lu Qing strode towards the big carriage. She wanted to get away from the monster as soon as possible, but her sleeve was caught off guard.

"Madam, you and I will ride."

Yu Mingchuan signaled Faang Jiming with his eyes. Faang Jiming saluted and then rushed out of the door.

In just a short moment, a tall and handsome black horse was led to the door. It's snow-white hooves dug into the ground as it bared its fangs and snorted. It clearly couldn't wait any longer and wanted to run away.

Yu Mingchuan also wiped the corner of his mouth and held Lu Qing's hand as they walked out of the room.

A janitor quickly ran up and handed over two cloaks. One was for one, and the other was for another. Yu Mingchuan took it and put on the smaller one for Lu Qing before putting on his.

"Xue Yan, take good care of Han Shuo. We'll be back tomorrow."

"Hey!" Are you really going? Bring me along! "

Xue Yan hurried to follow him, but was stopped by Yu Mingchuan's gaze.

"This is a top secret of my Yumen, you are a Marquis of the Liangzhou, you cannot participate."

With that, Yu Mingchuan leaped lightly and reached the horse. However, he still held Lu Qing's hand and pulled casually. Lu Qing was also pulled up and sat in front of Yu Mingchuan.

"Giddy up!"

The black horse whinnied and galloped away.

Feeling the cold wind whistling towards her, Lu Qing quickly pulled the cloak over her body. The temperature here was close to zero, and her cotton clothing was not thick enough. Fortunately, the cloak was made of mink skin, otherwise, it would have frozen.

Outside of Little Square City, the north wind was blowing painfully. Lu Qing wanted to put on her hood, but she didn't want to miss out on the scenery outside.

Not far from their destination, they saw a huge puddle of water, reflecting the dark blue sky. It looked like a sapphire embedded in the middle of the loess.

Yu Mingchuan told her in her ear that this puddle was called the ocean water. When the weather got warm, she could come over to catch some prawns.

Lu Qing fidgeted uncomfortably. She had made the salt today, so she would be able to leave tomorrow to fish for prawns …

Very soon, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard behind them. However, they weren't able to catch up and were gradually thrown far away.

They sped along the great wall of loess, gradually becoming more and more desolate. This was the outside of the pass, the historical Western Regions.

Looking at the endless desert, Lu Qing was a little scared. Could she really survive here with Han Shuo?

Yu Mingchuan didn't say anything to her. He just slowed down his horse a little and told her to take a look.

Only when the sun reached its zenith did the landscape change.

In the vast desert, there was a large area of poplar trees. Even the camel bones had become denser. And behind the forest, there was another patch of dark blue.

Was this the Luo Bu Lake that had completely dried up in the future?

Lu Qing suddenly became excited. She really wanted to go back and tell the world that Luo Bu Lake had once been a beautiful place filled with aquatic plants, and not a land of death.

Passing through Hu Yanglin, Yu Mingchuan led Lu Qing off the horse.

Looking at the beautiful scenery before her, Lu Qing was in an unprecedented good mood. She ran to the water's edge with quick steps, startling the flock of sheep. Lu Qing laughed heartily.

The noon sun shone on Lu Qing's body, as if it was coated with a layer of silver light. Yu Mingchuan stared at her fixedly without even blinking his eyes.
