The piece of gold in his hand was square, shining under Yang Guang's light. Even if it had been put aside for so long, there were no other colors.
Shao Xuan was not greedy for the appearance of the gold, but more curious. He actually wanted to take the gold to see, but seeing Su Gu so tightly and so excited, he gave up the idea for the time being and waited for his mood to stabilize.
"Third Young Master, Su Gu, Turtle San, have you seen enough? If you've seen enough, let's continue. "Shao Xuan urged.
Close to the oasis, Shao Xuan was thirsty. Instead of admiring the gold under the sun, he would rather go to the oasis to find a shady place to drink some water and rest.
Pulled back by Shao Xuan's words, Su Gu found himself staring at the "stone" in his hand, lost in thought. He quickly wrapped the gold in his hand and put it in an inner pocket. The clothes he wore today had a secret pocket sewn for storing things.
After putting it in, Su Gu got up and walked two steps, feeling that something was wrong. He looked sideways at Shao Xuan, his eyes looking up and down, carefully observing the expression on Shao Xuan's face, not letting go of any details. But in the end, what made Su Gu helpless was that he really did not see any greed or intoxication on Shao Xuan's face. It seemed that what Shao Xuan just saw was just an ordinary stone, not a treasure.
"Don't you think that stone is addictive?" Su Gu could not help but ask.
Shao Xuan shook his head. "I don't think so."
"How is that possible?!" Su Gu looked at Shao Xuan again, still coming to the same conclusion.
There was someone who could resist its charm?!
This time, Su Gu was surprised, but at the same time, he had some doubts. Could it be that only he thought that the stone was so beautiful that it was addictive? If that was the case, what if he gave it to his father as a gift and he did not like it?
Shao Xuan's reaction made Su Gu's previously firm plan become hesitant. In the end, was he too addicted, or did Shao Xuan have no eyesight?
"When you saw it, didn't you have a special feeling?" Su Gu asked.
A special feeling? Shao Xuan thought for a moment. He was just surprised, that was all.
Seeing Shao Xuan's expression, Su Gu didn't give up. "Don't you feel that this stone has a strange feeling, like standing in the Royal City and looking down?"
"I've never been to your palace," Shao Xuan said. At the same time, he also speculated Su Gu's feelings from Su Gu's words. When he saw that piece of gold, Su Gu seemed to see power and wealth. Seeing the gold for the first time, Su Gu unexpectedly had such an awareness. Sure enough, he was the young master of a city. If it was shown to Lei and Tuo, they would probably be more confused than Shao Xuan, thinking that this "stone" was not as important as a piece of meat.
"Do you think that if I give this stone to the Luoye City king, he will like it?" Su Gu asked.
"I think he'll like it." As the king of a city, he naturally had absolute ambition. His pursuit of power and wealth was more than others. Even if it was the first time he saw the gold, as long as the Luoye City king Su Lun's preferences were similar to Su Gu's, he would certainly like this "stone" that reflected the golden light.
Su Gu wanted to take it out and show it to the other three people to see how they would react, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait until they went back.
Continuing to walk forward, they could see some sporadic grass, which was very conspicuous on this piece of sand. After seeing a lot of yellow sand, a bunch of green grass could make people feel infinite vitality.
The more they went forward, the more grass was distributed on the ground. There were also some trees that Shao Xuan could not name. Ten camels were tied to the trunks, eating the grass. Not far away, some slaves with weapons walked back and forth, vigilantly staring at the desert in the distance to prevent abnormal situations.
Shao Xuan and the other two followed Su Gu and Wu Shi to the oasis. A group of slaves stopped them, and after Su Gu's explanation, Shao Xuan and the other two were able to really enter.
The oasis was not too big, but the defense force stationed in this oasis was about a thousand slaves. For this place, it could be said to be heavily guarded.
After entering the oasis, Shao Xuan found that there was a group of special slaves. There were about ten of them, and the cloth of each slave was much better than the other slaves. The other slaves were wearing cloth, but most of the time it was tattered. But these ten people, even if the cloth on their bodies had sand and stains, it looked very neat, without a hole. There were also patterns on the cloth of the clothes. In particular, the leader's clothes were neat. If Su Gu had not said that those were slaves, Shao Xuan might have really mistaken that slave for a slave owner.
"Those are the people around my father." Su Gu explained. "Usually, there are not so many people in the oasis. Probably because something happened here some time ago, so they sent people over."
Seeing Su Gu, the man respectfully saluted. His eyes swept over Shao Xuan and the other two. He seemed calm, but when those eyes swept over, it was as if they were brushed by a thorny knife.
Shao Xuan felt that the other party was very defensive against the three of them, and did not have a good impression.
"Third young master, are they from the Yanjiao tribe?" The slave named "Ai Shi" asked.
"Yes, the three of them are people who cooperate with me. They came here with me." Su Gu said.
Shao Xuan found that when Su Gu talked to Ai Shi, his tone was much better. Compared to Wu Shi, who followed Su Gu, his attitude was very different.
Also, one followed the king, and the other followed the young master. Naturally, their status was different.
"That's it. I hope the three of you can stay away from the spring." Ai Shi said. His tone was also stiff, as if there was no room for maneuver.
"Why?" Su Gu asked. Although he knew that the others had to stay away from the spring area, Ai Shi's words made him feel strange. Was there something that he didn't know about?
Ai Shi did not answer. He just stared at Shao Xuan and the other two with caution.
"All right, let's go to the house over there to rest." Shao Xuan did not wait here. He decisively took Lei and Tuo to a place for people to rest. It was also the place that Su Gu pointed out to them.
After waiting for a while in the sand house, Shao Xuan waited for the angry Su Gu. He thought that Su Gu and the slave's conversation was not pleasant.
"How is it?" Shao Xuan asked.
"No … nothing." Su Gu stuttered.
"Third young master, I think we are now in a cooperative relationship, but there are some things that I still hope you can tell us." Shao Xuan said.
"Well, naturally, I know this." Su Gu nodded.
"Then, third young master, I would like to ask, why is the slave so guarded against us?"
Su Gu was ready to answer, but Shao Xuan raised his hand to stop him. "Don't say that he is also like this to other tribes. Just now, his eyes told me that he is just extra guarded against us Yanjiao people."
When the slave called Ai Shi asked, the words "Yanjiao" were emphasized. Obviously, there was something about the Yanjiao tribe, but Shao Xuan and the other two did not know.
Su Gu thought about it and let Wu Shi go out to guard the door. Then he said to Shao Xuan, "Some time ago, someone was hiding in the water delivery team from the spring to the city, causing some trouble."
Su Gu did not say it in detail, but Shao Xuan could still roughly guess. "Does the slave think that the assassin is related to us?"
Su Gu nodded.
"But, only three of us from the Yanjiao tribe came. This is known to the other tribes." Shao Xuan said.
"I didn't say it was you. If it was really determined that you were involved, you would have been surrounded by slaves." Su Gu explained.
"Then why?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Because of a person related to your Yanjiao tribe. Although according to your tribe's standards, he is no longer a Yanjiao person, but in the eyes of the slave owners and slaves, he is still related. "
"Who is that person?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Dao Yu."
