The little sister-in-law did not expect it to be wrong. I did meet a few teams on the way and hurried to the east. Although I also saw Qin Xiao, I saw that they were dressed as shepherds, so they didn't get much trouble.
The teams encountered were all rushing non-stop.
Qin Xiao knew that these people were rushing to Zhuma Lake.
He knew from the mouth of a small accident that it was only two hundred miles away from Zhuma Lake. If it was changed to a normal day and the horse was galloping, he would definitely be able to arrive in less than two days.
But now is the season of winter snow, and the road is so deep that the horse can't run.
These disguised Wu Tuo soldiers will arrive at Zhuma Lake on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and there is no time to delay on the way.
Now that the final arrival date is set, if you can't arrive in time, you will naturally have to engage in military law.
Qin Xiao walked as far as possible on the secluded road to avoid encountering the people of Wutuo's brigade.
After all, in this season, people on the road leading to the pass are extremely rare. No caravan will enter the pass in such a climate, and it is even more unlikely that a caravan will come to Wutuo after leaving the pass.
Because of this, Kunlun Pass is extremely depressed in this severe cold season, and it is difficult to see a person within tens of miles.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Wu Tuo's talents will gather at Zhuma Lake, so the inside of the Guan doesn't know Wu Tuo's actions at all.
As he approached Zhuma Lake, Qin Xiao did not dare to approach directly along the road.
Although Zhuma Lake is the only way to go to Kunlun Pass, if you still want to follow this road to enter the Pass at this time, it is undoubtedly a self-investment.
Creeping on a hillside not far from the main road, looking towards Zhuma Lake, I saw that there are still cavalry on the road rushing over there quickly. It is only ten miles away from Zhuma Lake, but because of the terrain. , I couldn't see the situation there for a while.
"Little sister, it seems that there are really a lot of people and horses assembled." Qin Xiao looked solemn, and glanced at the little sister who was crawling beside him: "It seems that last time Na Wutuo didn't lie, all Wutuo's ministries sent The cavalry came."
"These are the elite cavalry of various ministries." The little sister aunt said: "Look at their horses, all of them have long fat legs, and the leather armor we found in their package last time. That's not all the Wutuo soldiers. It can be equipped. Battle armor is not easy to build. Most of the Utuo soldiers only use animal skins as armor. You will see the Utuo in the future. The fewer armor and animal skins on your body, the higher his status. Last time Half of those armors are iron protective gear, which proves that these people are truly elite in every department."
Qin Xiaodao: "So the eight sects are all brave men who can conquer the battle."
The little sister said: "Little nephew, don't be afraid if I say something. If they really gather eight elites this time, and there are really five to six thousand people, once these people break through, although It's not enough to swallow Xiling, but if you want to burn and loot Xiling, the people of Xiling may not be able to resist it."
Qin Xiao said, "Are they trying to take advantage of Xiling's negligence on New Year's Eve and enter the customs to rob?"
"It's not impossible." The little sister said: "The Wutuo people are looting. Their so-called Khanate was originally based on looting. Perhaps this time the Wutuo people sent this cavalry to explore the Xiling. Virtual reality."
"Inquire about the truth?"
"The Wutuo people have not set foot in Xiling land for 16 years.
The best way to react and defend is to send a team to try."Little sister-in-law said: "Thousands of people are not enough to eat Xiling, but they can make Xiling like a big enemy. At that time, Xiling will naturally respond, and the Wutuo people can learn about Xiling's reaction ability."After a pause, I said: "I have been watching Xiling since I heard that King Utuo Khan was in power. However, because of trade, many nobles in Xiling have made a lot of profits. They can lie down to collect cash, and it is better to fight with sabers. It is much more comfortable to snatch your life, so many nobles in Xiling are unwilling to send troops eastward."
Qin Xiaodao said, "It is true. Among the eight parts of Wutuo, the White Wolf Ministry has benefited the most, so the White Wolf Ministry is firmly opposed to Wu Tuo's eastward advance, but the White Wolf King died, leaving behind an orphan and a widow. Although Ketun of the Ministry tried his best to continue the White Wolf King’s policy towards Datang Harmony, Nalusheng would naturally not miss the opportunity to infiltrate or even control the White Wolf Tribe. Many people in the White Wolf tribe also favored Nalusheng, maybe It didn't take long before the White Wolf Club completely succumbed to Brother Nalusheng's feet."
"Brother Nalusheng wants to make Wutuo's various ministries obey him, and only relying on strong means may not work." The little sister said: "The Wutuo people are very profitable. The best way to make them obedient is to let them see Real interest."
Qin Xiao faintly understood what the little sister-in-law meant, and said: "This time Wutuo's fine riding assembly, is Brother Nalusheng going to buy Wutuo's tricks?"
"Little teacher nephew, if this soldier breaks through the barrier, burns, kills, and loots in Xiling, then quickly returns to the barrier, but returns with a full load, what do you think those Wutuo nobles who oppose the eastward advance will think?" His eyes flickered and he whispered softly: "It is the nobles who oppose Wutuo's eastward advancement that benefited from trade, but most of Wutuo's nobles did not benefit from it. You said just now that the white wolf tribe has really benefited a lot. Although other nobles are profitable because of trade, their interests are limited. If the soldiers and horses they send to looting a large amount of property this time will far outweigh the profits they had gained from trade before, do you think they still want to go to Xiling to rob?"
Qin Xiaodao: "Little sister, you are so smart. I never figured out why Wu Tuo assembled this army. Now it seems that, as you said, they are going to Xiling to rob. Nalu Brother Sheng’s trick is to arouse the coveting of Wutuo’s tribes towards Xiling. As long as this team returns drunk, the nobles of Wutuo will have a greedy heart for Xiling. Then Nalu Sheng will lift up his arms. The group of people will follow him and march eastward."
"Little nephew, I'm all nonsense. I am a little girl who doesn't understand military affairs." Little sister-aunt smiled charmingly and said softly, "If they really just come here to fish, they make Xiling panic. That's nothing to do with me." I looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting dark, Zhuma Lake must be full of Wu Tuo soldiers. We can't live there. Although your junior and aunt are both civil and martial, they are all of them. Many, we two are not their opponents together."
Qin Xiao wanted to say nothing about two people. Even if the old madman did not leave, the three of them would not be able to deal with hundreds of Wu Tuo soldiers.
"Let's take a detour to the south." The little sister said: "It may take another day, but we will avoid them."
"Little sister, how many people are there, I haven't figured it out yet." Qin Xiao thought for a while, and whispered: "I want to get closer while it is dark and find out about their strength. Then I can report the truth to the general. Knowing their strength, the general can better deploy."
The little sister-in-law whispered: "There are all Wu Tuo soldiers around here, as long as they are found, it will be troublesome."
"I understand." Qin Xiao said, "That's why I have to take advantage of the night. If I go back to Xiling and the general asks the enemy's strength, I don't know anything about it....That's always bad."
The little sister-in-law thought for a while, and sighed: "I hate such sneaky things the most. If you are not my little nephew, I won't bother to care about it."
She said so, just waiting if she agreed.
Qin Xiao was overjoyed, and the two stayed on Qiupo. They only waited until the sky was completely dark before touching towards Zhuma Lake.
Qin Xiao used to sleep in Zhuma Lake with the caravan and was very familiar with the terrain of Zhuma Lake.
Zhuma Lake is surrounded by hills and slopes, and the lake is deep in it. As long as you can touch the nearby hills and slopes, you can naturally see the scene of Zhuma Lake at a glance.
However, Qin Xiao knew very well in his heart that Wutuo must have arranged a sentry on all sides of the slope.
At the beginning, the caravans were resting here and there were sentries on all sides. Naturally, the Wutuo people would not be so negligent.
The facts are indeed as Qin Xiao expected. Although his sight is dim, he still sees two Utuo soldiers on the high slope in the distance. The high slope is condescending and the line of sight is far away. Once there is movement under the slope, it is easy. Was discovered.
If it was during the day, Qin Xiaowan would not dare to come close.
Fortunately, the sky was completely dark at this time, the sentry's line of sight was limited, and the weather was freezing, so the sentry could not always pay attention to the movement down the slope.
"If you want to observe the strength of Zhuma Lake, this outpost must be removed." Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "Let's wait for them to touch over and solve it carelessly."
"They are condescending, we are going uphill, right in their sight." The little sister aunt also whispered: "You want to be close and get rid of them, you really want to be beautiful."
Qin Xiao frowned, and the little sister said: "Didn't I teach you beauty stars? Let's approach them while they are not paying attention, and solve them one by one."
Qin Xiao was not very confident: "Little Sister, although your skill is great, but I have not yet mastered it, I may not be able to kill him at once. If I miss it, it will be counterproductive and I will startle them."
"Then I can't do anything about it." The little sister aunt said: "If you are not sure, let's not do it and go quickly."
Qin Xiao wanted to ascertain the strength of this Wutuo cavalry, and left like this. He really didn't dare to take two deep breaths and said, "Let's try."
"Little nephew, you must be killed with a single blow." Little sister worried: "If you miss, they must catch up. We are not opponents. If they are caught, they will see your little sister. Beautiful as a flower, the consequences would be terrible."
"Little sister, believe me once, I will never miss it."
"The more you say this, the more scared I am." The little sister-in-law said timidly: "Why don't we just run away, don't you be afraid that they will rape me first and then kill? Hey, the smelly smell of the man in Wutuo can bear me. No more."
Qin Xiao ignored it, took a stone in his hand, crawled in the snow, and crawled towards Qiupo a little bit.
"Dignified Sword Valley disciple, I still have to endure such humiliation." The little sister-in-law had no choice but to follow along in the snow, very unhappy: "Little nephew, I knew you would always suffer from following you. I deserve it. I'm also worried about you, and I have to escort you to Kunlun Pass. Hey, I really should slap myself.
