Yuan Chaoxi was stunned when he heard this, and while looking around, he whispered:
"Who? Where?"
Bailiming pointed his eyes in one direction:
"The lone wolf in the distance has been following us for two days since we entered the Northern Wilderness. It's a bit strange."
Looking at Yuan Chaoxi's confused expression, he continued:
"This reminds me of what happened in Qianshan County, Xijing, just like the Night Owl controlled by Black Wings."
Yuan Chaoxi suddenly realized:
"Well, it's true. Controlling wild beasts is a common method used by the demon clan. It seems that the demons are targeting us?"

Bailiming shook his head and analyzed:
"It's not necessarily targeting us. It's also possible that the caravan is being targeted. After all, it's not just the demon clan that can control wild beasts."
Yuan Chaoxi pondered for a moment: "I'm going to catch the wolf and come here to investigate." He then rode away.
Bailiming raised his hand to stop him and said:
"Don't be impatient. Don't alert others first. Let's pay attention to this matter and wait and see what happens. Let's see if it's coming for the caravan or us."
Yuan Chaoxi stopped and said, "Okay."
After Bailiming thought for a while, he decided to remind Shopkeeper Wang and let them be on guard.
After Shopkeeper Wang heard what Bai Liming said, he pondered for a moment, hesitated a little, and finally said what he was thinking:
"It should be someone sent by the Sun King."
The Great Khan of Guifang claims to be the mortal incarnation of the Immortal Heaven. There are seven kings under his royal tent, named after the sun, moon and the five stars of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. They are:

Sun King (Sun), Taiyin King (Moon), Taibai King (Venus), Suixing King (Jupiter), Chenxing King (Mercury), Yinghuo King (Mars), Zhenxing King (Saturn).
Five of the seven kings are the sons of the Great Khan of Guifang, and the other two are the brothers of the Great Khan.
The Guifang clan has more than forty tribes, large and small. After years of alliances, they have gradually formed three powerful forces.
According to their different positions and purposes, they are divided into the eldest son faction, the favored son faction and the neutral faction.
The eldest son faction is the Sun King, the eldest son of the Great Khan and the first heir to the throne of Khan. Almost half of the tribal leaders support him, and he is the most powerful.
King Yinghuo of the Beloved Son Sect is the youngest son of the Great Khan. Although he is young, he is deeply favored and has many tribes supporting him, but his strength is relatively weak.
The neutral faction is headed by King Taiyin, who is the brother of the Great Han. There is also King Taibai, who is the cousin of the Great Khan.
The two of them were not qualified to inherit the throne of Khan, so they followed the path of protecting themselves wisely and acted according to the situation. They said they were neutral, but they were more like mere wallflowers.
As the old Khan King's body grew older and sicker, and became worse and worse day by day, various forces below him were surging undercurrents, all trying to gain wealth by inheriting the throne of Khan.
The Great Earthquake Dynasty did not want Guifang Yi to be stable and united internally, but wanted to divide it to weaken its strength. Therefore, it secretly supported the weak King Yinghuo.

Every time a caravan comes, they will bring the Tao Sect's first refined Heaven and Earth Longevity Pill. This pill has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
After all, the longer the Great Khan lives, the more time he will have for his weak but favored youngest son, King Yinghuo, to strengthen himself and compete with the Sun King.
This time, Shopkeeper Wang even brought an enhanced version of the Longevity Pill with twice the effect, and planned to give it to King Yinghuo, asking him to dedicate it to the Great Khan, in order to win more favor and favors.
Therefore, the Sun King sent people to monitor them and destroy their plan to offer pills.
After understanding the cause and effect, Bai Liming and shopkeeper Wang deduced in detail and planned the next contingency strategy.
After walking for a few more days, everything was calm, except for the lone wolf who stayed far away, secretly monitoring the caravan.
We are getting closer and closer to Chifeng Valley, and we can reach it tomorrow. Everyone's tense heartstrings can't help but relax.
At sunset, about a thousand cavalry came on horseback, carrying the setting sun on their backs, like a dark tide, sweeping over and surrounding them.
The leader was a burly man, tall and thick, with a rough appearance and a beard stained with a little dust.
He drove his horse forward and asked in a loud and unruly tone:

"The one in front is the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce from the Great Earthquake Dynasty?"
Shopkeeper Wang carefully accompanied the smiling face and replied respectfully: "General, we are the caravan of the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce."
The big man said in a tone that left no room for doubt:
"That's good. My prince, please come over and have a talk."
Shopkeeper Wang's smile became even brighter, and he replied cautiously: "I wonder which prince is inviting me?"
The big man's demeanor became much more upright at this time, and he said with a look of admiration:
"It is the eagle of the Northern Wilderness, the future hero, the eldest son of the Great Khan, the Sun King."
Shopkeeper Wang's heart trembled when he heard this. What was supposed to come was coming, and he couldn't hide. He bit the bullet and declined politely:
"General, please forgive me. We are just a small caravan. How dare you bother the prince?"
When the big man heard this, his eyes widened and he said with a fierce look:

"Stop talking nonsense, go and keep you safe. If you don't go, haha, then don't blame this soldier for being blind."
Shopkeeper Wang was speechless for a moment and hesitated not knowing how to answer.
At this time, Bai Liming came forward and whispered in his ear:
"Shopkeeper Wang, if you come, you'll be fine. Since the prince sincerely invites you, it's not good for us to refuse. Let's go and have a look before talking about it."
Shopkeeper Wang also thought that if he refused resolutely at this moment, he would definitely not get any benefits, so he had no choice but to agree, but he softly begged:
"Two of you, please prove to me that I have no choice but to go there. Then I will have to rely on you two more to protect my safety."
I bet Shopkeeper Wang regarded them as supervisors sent by the Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't give a damn.
After Bai Liming promised to protect him, Shopkeeper Wang arranged for the caravan to change its route.
Under the protection or hostage of thousands of cavalry, everyone slowly turned around and headed towards the depths of the grassland.
When it was completely dark, the caravan arrived at a camp lined with tents.

The Sun King's camp seemed to have just been built. The slightly withered and yellow weeds had not had time to be cleaned and were growing wantonly in the tents. The horses coming and going between the tents trampled muddy paths, which were as winding as earthworms.
The air was filled with the smell of livestock urine and the noise of the soldiers. When they saw the caravan coming, they did not arouse their interest and only focused on the matters at hand.
Under the leadership of the big man, Shopkeeper Wang, Bai Liming, and Yuan Zhaoxi arrived at the largest tent in the camp.
It was filled with all kinds of generals, who were toasting and drinking with their faces flushed.
The main character is a tall, somewhat obese, but still strong middle-aged man.
With a thick beard, a broad face, and an unruly demeanor, like a beast that can get angry at any time, this man is none other than the Sun King Chi Wei Tieshan.
Seeing Bai Liming and the others entering the tent, the Sun King put down the wine glass in his hand, and all the generals in the tent also stopped making noise and looked at them.
The big man leading the way bowed and saluted:
"Great Sun King, my subordinates have fulfilled their mission, and people from the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce have brought them here."
