379 Something big happened

Before the old village chief could finish feeling ashamed, Xu Da started to instigate:

"When the Wuhuan people ask, you can't tell them directly, otherwise they will definitely not believe it, and I'm afraid they will think that you are covering up the false news we tell."

"You'd better deal with them a few times before talking to them in the end. That will be safe."

The old village chief's words of shame were completely blocked. He raised his head in shock, looking at the sincere faces of Xu Yue's family, and thought to himself:

Why are there still such people who are seeking revenge from the Wuhuan people?

The old village chief went back with a complicated mood.

Boss Wu, who was sleeping next to the truck with a blanket, had already prepared to go to sleep. Now he noticed the situation on Xu Yue's side, and after the old village chief left, he sneaked up again.

"Mr. Xu, what did the old village chief say? Did the Wuhuan and Xianbei people collude?" Mr. Wu inquired in a low voice.

There was no need to hide this matter. Xu Da waved his hand, indicating that he could take a step to speak.

The two of them walked alone to a dark corner where there was no one around. Xu Da repeated what the village chief had just said. After listening to it, Wu Boss felt that his whole body was not good.

The fire used to burn the corpses not far away had not been extinguished. It was like a will-o'-the-wisp in the night, red and green. Boss Wu only glanced at it and felt a chill down his spine.

"How could this happen? When we were still in Guangyang County, our caravan met a group of refugees, who were said to have fled from Juyong. Juyong County should also have been captured by the Wuhuan and Xianbei people." Wu

The boss analyzed and questioned the information the old village chief heard.

Everyone had just arrived in Shanggu County, and Xu Da didn't know the inside story. He could only judge from the order of the news.

Xu Da guessed, "Maybe Juyong County later called in the border troops to drive away the two ambitious tribes."

Boss Wu nodded, thinking this explanation made sense.

"Then what should we do now? We have killed so many Wuhuan people. This place is only thirty miles away from the county seat. If we know that they have not returned all night, the Wuhuan people will realize that something is wrong by tomorrow morning at the latest."

As Boss Wu talked, he scared himself so much that he lost all sleep.

He couldn't sleep tonight, for he was afraid that when he woke up tomorrow morning, he would have Wuhuan Bing's deadly sword hanging around his neck.

Xu Da didn't know before that this place was only thirty miles away from the county seat. Now when he heard what Boss Wu said, his eyes darkened and he waved to Boss Wu and led him back to his tent.

Xu Yue and others had already gotten into their sleeping bags and were getting ready to sleep. When they saw Xu Da directly bringing Boss Wu in, they all asked in unison: "What's wrong?"

"We're afraid we won't be able to sleep tonight." Boss Wu said worriedly: "This place is too close to the county seat of Ning County. If what the old village chief said is true, the Wuhuan people may have discovered the clues by now and will come to inquire tomorrow morning.

"

"How far is the county seat from here?" Wang Pingping stood up and motioned to the Xu Yue brothers and sisters to get up first.

Boss Wu replied: "It's only thirty miles, and a fast horse can reach the village from the county seat in an hour."

Wang Pingping's face darkened, "What are the identities of the twenty-eight Wuhuan people we killed today? Are they ordinary civilians or tribal soldiers?"

Boss Wu couldn't answer, so he hurriedly returned to the caravan camp, asked the companions who were responsible for burning the corpse, and then brought five pieces of armor over.

Xu Yue knew at a glance that these were the clothes of the five leading heavily armored Wuhuan men.

The dark red rough leather armor is protected by iron sheets on the chest and the joints of the limbs. There is no special mark on it.

This kind of armor is far inferior to the equipment of the Xu family army, but it is not affordable for ordinary people.

That's why it was collected by the caravan people. Because there is no mark, such armor is easy to sell and make a small profit.

Wang Pingping took it in her hand, looked at it, and said with a cold tone, "Pack it up now, let's get out of here."

"By the way, let's take care of it at the cremation pile and bury it. Xu Da, Da Lang, you two go to the villagers to borrow a hoe and finish this matter without leaving any traces."

Xu Da hesitated for a moment, thinking that it wouldn't be so troublesome if he could solve it with just a piece of talisman. But seeing that Boss Wu was still beside him, he didn't say anything, raised his chin to Xu Dalang, and went to work.

When Boss Wu saw that Xu Yue's family was about to leave, he also hurriedly called his companions in the caravan to get up, "Don't sleep, don't fall asleep, get up quickly, pack up, we're leaving now!"

Everyone woke up in a daze and asked puzzledly why.

"Why?" Boss Wu rubbed his twitching temples and shouted through gritted teeth: "Those Wuhuan people are not ordinary robbers. We are in big trouble. Stop talking about it. If you don't want to die, get up now and clean up."

Your goods, leave immediately!"

How can a businessman in the outside have no discernment? Seeing that Boss Wu was speaking so powerfully, everyone immediately fell asleep and flew away. They hurriedly lit torches and got busy.

The people in the village had gone to bed now, and they could only vaguely hear the sound of wheels outside. It soon became quiet, and they did not notice that the caravan that had camped at the entrance of the village had quietly left.

Xu Yue's family stayed at the end. Seeing the caravan go away, Xu Yue immediately nodded to Xu Erniang, "That's it."

Xu Dalang drove the carriage, and Xu Erniang nodded in response, took out her wand, and washed away the traces left by the wheels with water.

At least it would be difficult for the Wuhuan people to find traces of their presence.

The group of people drove slowly and hurriedly with torches until they were ten miles away from the village, then they stopped for a rest on the bank of a river.

After driving all night, it was still a truck. The people were tired and the horses were exhausted. If we didn't rest for a while, neither the humans nor the animals could hold on.

Xu Yue's family was okay. Xu Dalang was driving the carriage, and the rest of Xu Yue and others leaned in the carriage and slept for a while. They were in good spirits at the moment.

Xu Yue pulled Xu Erniang off the horse and practiced basic physical skills, and her energy and energy returned instantly.

The caravan was repairing by the river, but Boss Wu felt uneasy. Although he was very sleepy, he poured himself a handful of cold river water, patted his face, and cheered up to come find Xu Yue's family.

"We can't go to Ning County, but we can't just go back with the goods that we have worked so hard to transport from the south. We are planning to divert to Juyong County to have a look. Where are you, Mr. Xu?" Boss Wu asked tentatively.

Initially, they and the Xu family had said that they would go to Shanggu County together, but they did not specify where they were going.

Boss Wu still doesn't know where the relatives Xu Yue's family is leaving are in Shanggu County.

Boss Wu was also afraid that the Xu Yue family would misunderstand him, thinking that he wanted to part ways with them because he was afraid of being chased by the Wuhuan people, so he hurriedly explained:

"Mr. Xu, if your relatives are also in Juyong County, or are passing through Juyong, it would be great if we go the same way, and we can continue walking together."

"I don't think those Wuhuan people would discover us so soon."
