Is Shalin using such soldiers to guard the border?It's really poor and sour, not at all the same as in the rumors. Sure enough... some rumors can't be completely believed... Xia Zuo looked at it, and there was a funny laugh in his heart, and he looked up at the old soldier and asked aloud. Tao: "What are you doing here?"

"We are performing our duties. One, to prevent the invasion of unknown troops, two, to prevent the entry of criminals into the sarin, three, to prevent the smuggling of goods by illegal merchants, four..." The old soldier clenched his spear and made a tight expression , The tone is blunt. At first glance, it is the content of rote memorization. Xia Zuo doubts that the other party knows whether he knows the meaning of the words he said, "... seven, check whether the entry documents are legal and complete, eight..."

"Okay, stop!" Xia Ya interrupted the elder's recitation and moved her eyebrows to ask, "Why, as you said, if these of me want to enter Sarin, do I have to hand in a pass?" Otherwise, you can only turn your head back?"

"Actually... you have entered Sarin, so no matter whether you want to go back or not, you must submit legal and complete entry documents, otherwise you will enter the country illegally." The old soldier hesitated and replied with a scalp.

"Ha!" Xia Zuo couldn't help but open his mouth and smiled, looked at the two soldiers, one old and one young, and then looked at the five hundred cavalry beside him, feeling like he was listening to the most funny joke, with a laugh on his lips His two-handed beard shuddered.

"Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong? Just two of you, and you want to check me? If I refuse?" Xia Ya smiled for a while and then asked Convergent Smile to the two soldiers.

The expression of the old soldier changed a bit and stepped back: "This lord, please don't make us embarrassed, we are also routine, please cooperate..."

"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha." Xia Zuo heard the old soldier's words and could not help laughing again, thinking it was really funny.After a few seconds of laugh, he turned to look at the soldiers around him, with a serious expression, said: "What are you still doing stunned, take these two men down."

"Yes!" The soldiers obeyed their orders and immediately rushed towards the two sarin soldiers.

The two sarin soldiers tried to resist, but the young and old were really not fighting, but they were overturned to the ground in a few seconds, and the long guns used as weapons were kicked more than ten meters away.

The Zhuang master soldier pressed the two sarin soldiers on the ground and looked to Xia Zuo for instructions: "Master, are you going to kill?"

"That's not necessary." Xia Zuo waved his hand. "We are here to visit Shalin, not to invade, kill a little bit. Bundle these two guys who have bad brains and commit crimes and throw them here, Just let them die for themselves, and then we continue on our path."

"By the way, before you leave here, remember to knock out." Xia Zuo seriously added, "I don't want us to leave the rope, they will find a way to untie the rope, and then don't know what way to give Atlanta. Talking about the news, it will be very difficult for us to keep this action confidential."

"Yes, Master." The Zhuang master soldier nodded, dragging the two sarin soldiers towards the stone building.

The young soldiers were struggling violently, constantly shouting, like cursing: "You dare to do this, there will be no good ending. You are illegally invading and attacking the sentry, which was known by the regular troops of Shalin. Absolutely I will regret it. The regular Sarin troops will definitely tear you apart so that you can understand that Sarin is not annoying..."

But the shout, accompanied by a mumble, stopped abruptly.

After that, the Zhuang master soldier who walked into the Shilou walked out and reported back to Xia Zuo: "Master, everything is done."

"Well, let's go." Xia Zuo didn't say much, waved his hand, and signaled the team to set off again, heading deep into Shalin.

...

Soon, the team traveled for a few miles, and indeed, as Xia Zuohuang's men said, the terrain began to rise and fell, and the presence of the outpost was completely invisible.

"Tap..."

Riding on horseback, Xia Zuo looked back at the direction of the outpost before, and asked under the yellow clothes: "Now, have we considered entering Shalin completely?"

"Yes, sir."

"However, we didn't meet anyone's obstruction. It seems that Shalin is really quite different from what he said, and the army's vigilance is not very high." Xia Zuo said with some sarcasm, thinking for a while, adding, "By the way, from now on, we will send two teams of ten people to the front, left, and right of us. The detection distance is three miles, and people will be sent in turn to return the content of the investigation to determine whether it is safe around."

Yellow clothes listened, and some puzzled: "Adult, don't you say... Shalin's vigilance is not high, and no one is blocking us, then why should we do this?"

"Sarin's vigilance is indeed not high, but my vigilance can't be as low as they are. It's still necessary to be prepared." Xia Zuo said, "This time I have to reach the city of Atlanta as far as possible. Only in this way can I play ' The effect of a sudden attack."

"Uh……"

"Okay, go ahead."

"Yes." The yellow man nodded and began to pick out the investigators.

After a while, six teams of ten from three directions were sent out, and the army continued to march on alert.

...

March, march, march constantly.

After a short break halfway through, the soldiers ate some dry food, fed the horse some horse food, and then Xia Zuo commanded the team to continue to the center of Shalin, Atlanta.

Along the way, according to the map, Xia Zuo deliberately avoided all gathering points of large and small populations, and tried to maintain the secret of traveling.

But by the afternoon, he was a little anxious.

Not because of any problems encountered, but because it was too smooth.

Yes, it went smoothly.

In addition to the outposts he first encountered, his concealed actions never met any other living person.Although he avoided the population gathering point, it was strange that even the farmer in the farmland, the fisherman in the pond, the hunter in the forest, and the pedestrian on the road did not meet one.

He couldn't help wondering if the entire sarin would be empty, and there was an urge to see the population gathering points on the map.

However, reason blocked his impulse, gently pressed the beard on his lips, reached out and pulled out a flat egg-shaped creation from his arms, opened it, and glanced at the beating walking needle to confirm the time.

Speaking of this, the thing called "Golden Pin Pocket Watch" in his hand came from Shalin's mass production. I don't know how many merchants' hands have been experienced in the middle. After being placed in the shop of Xia Ya, it is already a lot of money. price.

Since this thing did not seem to be liked by the newly succeeded emperor, it was once banned by law.However, it was not easy to use the smart and easy to use. The black market has been circulating. In the end, there was no way to start to cancel the ban, increase heavy taxes and severely punish tax evaders.

The "golden needle pocket watch" in his hand was originally a complete batch of thirty, which was confiscated by the Xia Ya official from the tax evasion smugglers.After confiscation, the pocket watch did not enter the treasury, but returned to the market for sale after some means.During this process, he got a piece at a low price through internal channels, and has been using it until now, and he is quite skilled.So with only a glance, I knew that it had been several hours since I entered the border of Sharin.

And the more this is, the more uneasy he is.

Since Sarin can make such delicate things as "golden pin pocket watches" in large quantities, it should not be as unbearable as he guessed.

Definitely shouldn't...

But if Sarin is not so embarrassed, why hasn't he noticed him so far, and why hasn't he encountered any large-scale military strongholds or patrolling soldiers in such a deep place?

This is the entire border... No, is the entire territory undefended?

Thinking of these, Xia Zuo couldn't help but pressed his beard again, thinking about it, and again commanded his men in yellow clothes: "In the three directions of front, left, and right, we will send an additional ten-person reconnaissance team to increase the detection distance. It’s five miles. In addition, three ten-person reconnaissance squads are also dispatched towards the back. Whether they find anything or not, they are asked to report back every ten minutes."

"Adult, you..."

"carried out!"

"Yes." Yellow clothes looked at Xia Zuo's ugly face, without talking, and bowed his head decisively.

...

Not long afterwards, six new ten-person reconnaissance teams were dispatched, and all the reconnaissance forces had occupied more than one-fifth of the large force, covering the four complete directions of the front, rear, left, and right.

It stands to reason that Xia Zuo can rest assured.

But Xia Zuo did not, but became more anxious.

In anxiety, for half an hour, the team began to make a second repair.

People are not hungry, but horses need to eat special horse food again, otherwise they will not be able to support the next long, long distance travel.

The whole team stopped and rested in an open space, and there was silence all around, except for the croaking of insects.

Listening to a field-filled voice, Xia Zuo was in a trance, and couldn't help wondering if she was overly cautious.

At this moment, he heard a cry from the sentry soldier: "What is that?!"

"Huh?" Xia Zuo looked quickly, and after shrinking his eyes, he saw several dark spots approaching quickly in the far sky.

What is it?
