Everyone's eyes under the old masks were obviously surprised.

Qin Xiao stared at his eyes, which seemed to make everyone feel a little uneasy. He moved his body but said nothing.

"I know you won't talk, and I never thought of asking you to speak." Qin Xiao smiled lightly: "But the eldest son didn't think of it for a moment, which doesn't mean he won't think of it in the future. I don't have to tell him, I believe he will calm down after

, you will be able to think of this problem soon.”

"I'm sleepy, please go." Everyone ordered us to leave.

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Everyone, have a good rest. The caravan's horses won't recover until tomorrow, so the caravan can't leave today." He looked up at the sky and said, "If not, I believe that Uncle Wen is true to his word.

, I am really worried that they will go and come back tonight. They must not have entered the customs yet, and they may not even be able to enter the customs in a short time. To enter Xiling, there is only one road, Kunlun Pass, and dozens of fully armed cavalry have to pass through.

Kunlun Pass and entering Xiling are simply wishful thinking."

Seeing that everyone had closed their eyes, Qin Xiao didn't say much, stood up and left.

On this day, the caravan could only stay at Zhuma Lake.

The news of Tangren City had naturally spread in Xiling, so no other caravans came. For the whole day, not a single caravan was seen coming back and forth in the past.

The caravan was actually worried that Aragashi's Death Wing would break his promise and come back to attack again.

However, the caravan's combat effectiveness suffered a devastating blow. Half of the guards were dead, and many of the remaining guards were injured. If the Arakishi Deathwing ignored everyone's life and death and resolutely attacked the caravan, everyone knew it would be difficult.

Spared.

Therefore, even though it was dark, Yuwen Chengchao did not order people to be on strict alert. He only sent a few people to pay attention to the movement nearby and beware of small groups of horse thieves taking advantage of people's danger.

However, Yuwen Chengchao knew very well that the traitor planted by Huangxi Deathwing in the caravan had not yet been discovered, and in the current situation, it was not easy to find the traitor, nor was it the right time.

The existence of a traitor is a huge threat.

At the moment, the caravan is still safe and sound, just because we still have the bargaining chip of Mr. Jia in our hands, and we do not rule out that the traitor will find an opportunity to rescue Mr. Jia, so we are guarding Mr. Jia extremely tightly, and send him to a tent before dark.

In addition to being guarded outside the tent, there will also be two people in the tent watching face to face, and Fat Yu and others will take turns to guard him.

The veterinarian will lead people to restore the horse's strength as soon as possible.

If you stay in Zhuma Lake, you will face danger at any time, so if you can leave as early as possible, it would be better if you leave the dangerous place earlier.

Early the next morning, many horses regained their strength and could stand up. However, it was only after noon that most of the horses began to eat horse feed again before they truly regained their strength.

Yuwen Chengchao did not waste any time, and immediately ordered everyone to hitch up the chariots. Once everything was ready, he immediately set off to the west.

In order to stay away from danger, the caravan's rest time is greatly reduced. Although it travels non-stop during the day, even at night, it no longer chooses a place to camp at dusk as before. If there is a moon, it will continue on its journey under the moonlight. If the sky is too dark,

We should wait until everyone can no longer hold on any longer before setting up camp.

After walking like this for three or four days, all I saw along the way were mountains of earth, which were naturally not as majestic as the peaks in Guan Nei, and looked completely desolate.

After finally crossing the deserted land, we began to see greenery, and green mountains appeared in the distance. We could vaguely see a small tribe camping on the grassland, herding horses and sheep.

Qin Xiao knew that this was when he truly entered the activities of the Wutuo people.

The place.

"This is a small tribe under the White Wolf tribe." Shopkeeper Tian deliberately followed Qin Xiao on horseback and pointed to the tent not far away to explain.

Qin Xiao captured everyone and saved the caravan from danger. Naturally, everyone in the caravan knew everything about it. If there were still people who had doubts about the young Qin Xiao before, but after that night, everyone was in awe of him.

Respect, I know this young deputy commander has real abilities.

The two shopkeepers Tian Dou have been extremely enthusiastic towards Qin Xiao in the past two days.

"These small tribes used to live here freely and freely. Although they fought with each other, they eventually turned into friendship." Shopkeeper Tian sighed: "Before the Wutuo people migrated here, there were dozens of tribes in this area.

, no one can eat anyone else, and when the Wutuo people come over, in just a few years, they will all become slaves. Not only do they have to pay taxes, but they also have to serve as soldiers and perform corvee service."

"Do they hate the Wutuo people?"

"Of course I hate it, but so what?" Shopkeeper Tian said: "When the Wutuo people conquered them, they were merciless. The whole tribe was killed. The Wutuo people also did it.

.Now that the Eight Tribes of Wutuo are very powerful, these small tribes have no other choice but to live at the feet of the Wutuo people as slaves. Although the Eight Tribes of Wutuo will have some fights, if the tribes below are in rebellion, the Eight Tribes will

But we work together and show no mercy."

Qin Xiao said with a smile: "They can conquer a large area of ​​land in just a few decades and establish a country on this land. If they are not united, they cannot do this."

"Brother Wang, the eldest son wants you to come over." Zhao Yi rode over and greeted Qin Xiao: "We have something to discuss."

Qin Xiao agreed and urged his horse forward. When he arrived at Yuwen Chengchao's side, he saw him talking to Fat Fish.

"Master!"

Yuwen Chengchao looked over and said: "A few dozen miles further, there is a sandy land. It would take three days to cross the sandy land directly. However, the conditions are harsh, and the sandy land is infested with hyenas. It is Utuo.

Very few people go that way." He raised his hand and pointed to the left, "If you want to bypass the sandy area, you can take a 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 at the discretion of the eldest son."

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "I still want to take a detour, but speed up and board the caravan to Xifeng Castle, and everyone can have a good rest."

"Eldest Young Master, how many days are there until we reach West Wind Castle?"

"It takes less than two days to reach Xifeng Castle through the sand." Yu Wencheng said: "If we take a detour, if we are fast enough, it will only take about six days at most." After a pause, he continued.

: "But after we left the customs, there was no news from Chinatown and Xifeng Fort." He raised his head and looked ahead: "I want to send someone there first to inquire about the situation there."

Qin Xiao thought to himself that this was correct. It had been about ten days since he set out from Fengganfu City, and he had not encountered the team from Wutuo to Xiling along the way. Is there any new change in the situation there?

No one knows, so sending someone over first to inquire about the situation is the safest way.

"Tangren City and Xifeng Fort will send people over to find out the situation clearly." Yuwen Chengchao looked serious: "Our caravan has not fully attracted the attention of the Wutuo people for the time being, but if we go further, we will definitely be

The Wutuos are watching."

Fat Fish said: "These days, there are no more caravans coming from the pass, but our caravan is attracting attention."

"So before being targeted, people who inquire about information must

You must leave the team as soon as possible." Yuwen Cheng said sternly: "There are not many people in Wutuo here. After dark, if you leave the team and disguise yourself, there shouldn't be much problem."

"Is the eldest son worried that there is a problem at Xifeng Castle?"

"Tangren City was burned. Send someone over to find out what happened." Yuwen Chengchao said: "You have to see the scene of the incident with your own eyes before you can make a judgment. As far as Xifeng Castle is concerned, many merchants have received the news before

They have all taken shelter there temporarily, but no one has come out recently. I wonder if those merchants are under control. If this is true and our caravan still wants to go there, it will be a trap for itself. "

Qin Xiao nodded slightly and asked: "Who are you going to arrange for the eldest son to find out the news?" After taking a look at Fat Fish's leg, he knew that Fat Fish had been slashed in the thigh before, causing severe injuries.

I recovered after applying daily medication, but I still have a limp and difficulty in walking.

When sending people to inquire about information, of course you cannot just call two random people.

At present, there are not many people in the caravan who are qualified to be sent out to inquire for information.

"Over at Tangren City, Deputy Commander Liu has agreed to go there in person. Zhao Yi has recovered a lot from his injuries and will go with Deputy Commander Liu." Yuwen Chengchao said softly: "Over at Xifeng Castle, no candidate has been determined yet. Fat Fish

My leg is injured and I can’t go. The madman’s old injury has not healed and he has a new injury, so he is not suitable. I originally planned to take Dapeng with me, but...!"

Qin Xiao immediately understood what Yuwen Chengchao meant.

Yuwen Chengchao is the backbone of the caravan, so naturally he cannot leave easily. Moreover, because of his special status, he really cannot easily go and risk his life.

To inquire about information, you naturally need to be flexible and have the ability to adapt to changes. After all, anything can happen, and spies need to be able to deal with all kinds of emergencies. Of course, those grooms cannot take on this task. It is the elites from Baihu Camp who let them

It's okay for them to fight with others, but it's not very suitable for them to inquire about information.

"Young Master, if it really doesn't work out, I'll go with Dapeng." Qin Xiao thought for a moment and said simply: "The two of us don't have a big goal and it's not easy to attract attention. Let's go over there to inquire about the situation. If there is no

If there is any big problem, I will meet you later."

Yu Wen Chengchao smiled and said: "That's what I mean too. Although Dapeng is smart, he is not good at words. You are not panicked when encountering difficulties and can adapt to changes. In fact, you are the most suitable candidate. Only when you and Dapeng go to Xifeng Castle can I rest assured

.”

"Then we can set off after dark?"

Yuwen Chengchao nodded: "We will take a detour from the south and pass by a grassland, where the Wutuo tribe gathers. Walking through that grassland, you will be in the sight of the Wutuo people from beginning to end, so before entering, you must leave

Team. After you set off, the caravan will slow down and wait for you to bring back the news before we see how to act."

Qin Xiao thought that Yuwen Chengchao was very careful in his arrangement, but since he was in the territory of the Wutuo people, and the Tangren City incident had happened before him, it would not be wrong to be careful in everything.

"This is a map redrawn from Shopkeeper Tian. It roughly shows the route to Xifeng Castle." Qin Xiao handed a map to Qin Xiao: "According to the map, you can reach Xifeng Castle. Brother Wang, this is

Please be careful when traveling, safety first. If it is really difficult to find out the information, don't be brave and let me both get back safely."
