Qin Yi said: "As long as I take you back this time and let the cavalry from the Northern Territory step into Dongchen, I will be able to make you a prince, prime minister, and become a master."

"Really?" Song Ziling asked with a smile.

"Of course." Qin Yi said with great certainty.

"Do you think they would trust a person who betrayed his own country? As the saying goes, people who are not of my race will have different hearts. What kind of king would give a foreigner the title of marquis and prime minister?" Everyone in the world looks down on traitors to their clan and country.

He did not think that the king of the Northern Territory would re-appoint a person who betrayed his own country. Because he could betray his own country, he could easily betray the Northern Territory.

Qin Yi did not answer, but took the water bag and left.

A letter from the Northern Territory was delivered to the room of the Western Territory guard overnight. The next day, the guard hurriedly summoned his subordinates for a meeting. He said that the barbarians were probably disguised as Xiling people and entered and exited from the Western Territory.

When someone is leaving the country, you should carefully interrogate them. You can't just judge that the person is from Xiling based on their clothes. You must also carefully observe their appearance and listen to their words. Among the people who are interrogated in each shift, there should also be a person who can speak Xiling dialect and a person with a passport.

Talk to the person who provides the customs clearance document in Xiling.

Qiao Mu and the others squatted in the desert for a day, and then the people from the Northern Territory appeared. But because the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, they did not act rashly.

They lay down behind a pile of sand and watched the barbarians riding camels pass by not far away.

"Captain Qiao, is the man on the camel the second young master?" Zhou Quan pointed at a camel and asked Qiao Mu.

There were two people riding on the camel. The one sitting in front was a little smaller and did not look like an adult man.

Qiao Mu took a closer look and saw that the person on the camel was not Zi Ling, so who was it?

He said: "Yes."

"Then what should we do now?" Zhou Quan asked again. The general had said that if he was not sure, he would give up the rescue operation. From the looks of it, there are at least 2,000 barbarians and only 500 of them, so they are obviously outnumbered.

.

Qiao Mu gritted his teeth. Although the general said that he would give up the rescue if he was not sure of victory, but now that he had seen the people, he was not willing to give up like that.

"Follow first."

Qiao Mu decided to follow first and then look for opportunities to rescue.

Because it is not suitable to ride horses in the desert, Qiao Mu and the others put their horses in a forest after entering the desert. The horses are all trained and will not run around if left alone. When they left the desert, they returned to the forest.

Those horses can still be found.

Qiao Mu followed them until dark. After dark, the barbarians set up camp, while Qiao Mu kept watching them from a sandbag not far away.

When the moon reached its peak, the barbarians went into their tents to sleep, but they were very vigilant and kept more than ten people on duty at night.

Qiao Mu originally wanted to wait until they all fell asleep, sneak over to burn their tents, and rescue the people in the chaos. However, the barbarians became more vigilant and kept people on duty at night. As soon as their people passed by, they would be killed by the barbarians.

He found out, so he could only give up the idea.

The next day, I followed him for another day.

Zhou Quan said to Qiao Mu: "Captain Qiao, we can't go on like this. We don't have much water and food. If we continue, the barbarians will leave the desert. As long as you say a word, we can risk our lives to try."

try."

Others also echoed: "It doesn't matter whether I do it or not, the general saved me on the battlefield, and I am willing to risk my life for him."

"Give me a word."

Qiao Mu looked at the camel team in front, then at the dark faces, chapped lips, and hot-blooded eyes of his brothers. He was silent for a long time, and finally said only one word: "Withdraw."
