Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Everyone's eyes under their old masks were obviously surprised.
Qin Xiao stared at him, seeming to make everyone feel a little uneasy, his body moved and he did not speak.
"I know you don't know how to say it, and I didn't want to let you talk all the time." Qin Xiao smiled faintly: "But the eldest son didn't think about it for a while, it doesn't mean that he won't remember it all the time. I don't need to tell him, I believe that after he calms down , I can think of this issue soon."
"I'm sleepy, let's go." Everyone ordered to chase away guests.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Everyone always rest well. The caravan's horses will not recover until tomorrow, so the caravan can't leave today." He looked up at the sky and said, "If it weren't for I believe in Uncle Wen's words and believe it. , I'm really worried that they will go back tonight. They definitely have not yet entered the customs, even in a short time. To enter Xiling, there is only one way to Kunlun Pass, and dozens of heavily armed cavalry have to pass. Kunlun Pass entered Xiling, it was simply wishful thinking."
Seeing everyone closed their eyes, Qin Xiao didn't say much, got up and left.
This day the caravan can only stay by Zhuma Lake.
The news of Tangren City has naturally spread in Xiling, so when no other caravan came over, the caravans that used to come and go for a whole day were never seen.
In fact, the caravan was also very worried that Huangxi Death Wing would have nothing to say and would come back and attack again.
But the caravan’s combat effectiveness suffered a devastating blow. The guards died half of them, and there were still a lot of wounds left. If Huangxi Death Wing resolutely attacked the caravan regardless of the life and death of everyone, everyone knew that it was difficult. Spared.
Therefore, even if it was dark, Yuwen Chengchao did not order people to be more vigilant, but only sent a few people nearby to pay attention to the movement, and beware of small horse thieves taking advantage of others.
However, Yuwen Chengchao knew very well that the gangster who had been planted in the caravan by Huangxi Deathwing had not been found out, and in the current situation, it was not easy to find the gangster, nor was it time.
The existence of rape is a huge threat.
The caravan is still safe and sound, just because the old man still has the bargaining chip in his hand, it does not rule out that the rape will find a chance to save the old man, so the old man is guarded extremely tightly. Before dark, he was sent into a tent. Here, in addition to being guarded outside the tent, two people will be sent to stare face to face in the tent, and Fat Fish and others will be guarded in rotation.
The veterinarian is taking people to restore the horse's strength as soon as possible.
Staying in Zhuma Lake is always in danger, so if you can leave early, you can wait if you leave the dangerous place early.
In the morning of the next day, many horses regained their strength and could stand up, but only after noon did most of the horses eat horse feed before they really recovered their strength.
Yuwen Chengchao did not delay, and immediately ordered everyone to set up the car, everything was ready, and immediately set off to the west.
In order to stay away from danger, the caravan’s rest time is greatly reduced. Although the caravan drives non-stop during the day, even at night, it is no longer the same as before at dusk. If there is a moon, it will continue to drive by the moon. If the sky is too dim, We have to wait until everyone can't hold on before setting up camp.
After walking like this for three or four days, all I saw along the way were earthy mountains, which were naturally not comparable to the towering peaks in Guannei, and they were completely desolate.
After finally passing through the deserted place, I began to see the greenery, and the green mountains appeared in the distance, and I vaguely saw the tribes camped on the grassland, with a small number of horses and sheep.
Qin Xiao knows that this is really entering the Wutuo activities
The place.
"This is a small tribe under the White Wolf tribe." Shopkeeper Tian deliberately followed Qin Xiao on horseback, pointing to a tent not far away to explain.
Qin Xiao captured everyone, and let the caravan turn the danger into peace. Naturally, the caravan was clearly clear. If there were people who had doubts about the young Qin Xiao before, but after that night, everyone was already in awe of him. Respect, I know that this young deputy commander has real abilities.
The two shopkeepers Tian Dou have been extremely enthusiastic to Qin Xiao in the past two days.
"These small tribes used to live here and were free and loose. Although they also fought with each other, they could eventually turn fighting into jade silk." Shopkeeper Tian sighed: "Before the Wutuo people migrated here, there were dozens of tribes in this area. No one can eat anyone. When the Wutuo people came over, they were all turned into slaves in just a few years. Not only did they have to pay taxes, but they also had to serve as soldiers."
"Do they hate the Wutuo people?"
"Naturally hate it, but what about it?" Treasurer Tian said: "When the Wutuo people conquered them back then, they were merciless. The whole tribe was beheaded and killed. Now that the Wutuo eight tribes are strong, these small tribes have no choice but to crawl under the feet of the Wutuo people to live as slaves. Although the Wutuo eight tribes will also have some fights, if there is chaos by the following tribes, the eight tribes But they work together and never show mercy."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Able to conquer a large area of land in just a few decades, and still establish a country on this land, if they are not united, they will not be able to do this."
"Brother Wang, the eldest son will let you pass." Zhao Yi rode over and greeted Qin Xiao: "I have something to discuss."
Qin Xiao agreed and urged the horse forward, and when he reached Yuwenchengchao, he saw what he was talking to Fat Yu.
"Grand Prince!"
Yu Wencheng looked over and said, "Going a few dozen miles ahead is a piece of sand. It takes three days to go directly through the sand, but the conditions are bad, and the coyote in the sand is Wu Tuo. People rarely go there." Raising his hand and pointing to the front left, "If you go around the sand, you can detour from the south, but it will take nearly two days longer, but the road will be much easier, caravan Most of them choose to take a detour."
"Everything is subject to the arrangements of the eldest son."
Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said, "I meant to take a detour, but speed up, the caravan arrived at Westwind Fort, and everyone rests well."
"Lord, how many days are there from Westwind Castle?"
"Crossing through the sand, you can reach Westwind Fort in less than two days." Yuwencheng said: "If we take a detour, if we are fast enough, it will take about six days at most." After a pause, he continued. : "However, after we left the customs, there was no news from Tangren City and West Wind Fort." He looked up and said, "I want to send someone to go there first to find out the situation there."
Qin Xiao thought this was right. Starting from Fenggan Mansion City, it has been about ten days now, and there is no team going from Wutuo to Xiling along the way. Whether there has been a new change in the situation there, No one knows that sending someone to investigate the situation first is the safest way.
"Tangren City and West Wind Fort will send people over to investigate the situation clearly." Yuwen Chengchao looked serious: "Our caravan has not fully attracted the attention of the Wutuo people yet, but if you move forward, you will definitely be caught The Wu Tuo people stared."
Fat Yu said: "These days, no caravan comes from inside the pass, but our caravan is really eye-catching."
"So before being targeted, the person who inquires about the news must
Must leave the team as soon as possible."Yu Wencheng said with a serious face:" There are not many people in Wutuo. After dark, leaving the team and dressing up again shouldn't be a big problem."
"The old man is worried that there is a problem on the Westwind Fort?"
"Tangren City was burned. Send someone to find out what happened." Yu Wencheng said: "You have to see the scene of the incident with your own eyes before you can make a judgment. As far as the West Wind Fort, the news that many merchants have received before They have all stayed there for the time being, but no one has come out recently. I wonder if those merchants have been controlled. If this is the case, our caravan has to pass, then it would be a self-rejection."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly and asked, "Who is the old man going to arrange to find out about the news?" He glanced at Fat Fish's leg and knew that Fat Fish had been chopped on his thigh before, causing serious injuries to his muscles and bones. The daily medication has recovered, but now he is limping and has difficulty walking.
Send someone to inquire about the news, of course, you can't call two people casually.
There are not many people in the caravan who are eligible to be sent out to inquire about the news.
"In Tang City, Deputy Commander Liu has agreed to go there in person. Zhao Yi has recovered a lot from his injuries and will follow Deputy Commander Liu." Yuwen Chengchao said softly, "There is no candidate for Westwind Castle. Fat Yu He’s injured his leg and couldn’t go. The lunatic’s old wounds have not healed, and new injuries have been added, which is not suitable. Originally, I was going to take the Dapeng to go, but...!"
Qin Xiao immediately understood what Yuwen Chengchao meant.
Yuwen Chengchao is the backbone of the caravan, so naturally he can't leave easily, and he has a special status, so he really can't easily go to risk.
To inquire about the news, one needs to be flexible and adaptable. After all, anything can happen, and you need spies to be able to cope with all kinds of emergencies. Of course, those horsemen’s feet can’t take up this role. It is the elites of the White Tiger Camp. It is natural for them to fight with others, but it is not very suitable for them to inquire about the news.
"It's really impossible, grandpa, I'll take a trip with Dapeng." Qin Xiao thought for a while, and said simply: "The two people have little goals and are not easy to attract attention. Let's go over there to find out the situation. If not, What is too big a problem, I will turn around and meet you."
Yuwen Chengchao smiled and said, "That's what I meant. Although Dapeng is agile, but not good at words, you are not panic and can adapt to situations. In fact, you are the most suitable candidate. I can rest assured when you and Dapeng go to Westwind Fort. ."
"Then we will leave after dark?"
Yuwen Chengchao nodded: "We took a detour from the south and passed through a grassland where the Wutuo tribe gathered. Walking through that grassland, we were in the sight of the Wutuo people from beginning to end, so you must leave before going in. Team. After you set off, the caravan will slow down and wait for you to bring back the news before you see how to act."
Qin Xiao thought that Yuwen Chengchao's arrangement would be considered very careful, but now that he is in the place of the Wutuo people, and there is also the incident in the Tang City before, it is natural to be careful in everything.
"This is a map redrawn from the shopkeeper Tian. It probably shows the route to Westwind Fort." Qin Xiao handed a map to Qin Xiao: "According to the map, you can reach Westwind Fort. Brother Wang, here. Be very careful, safety first. It is really difficult to find out the news. Don't try to behave. Both of them will give me a safe return."
Qin Xiao put away the map and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the big man, we will come back safe and sound."
