"It's not your fault. 'Miss Wan'er, I don't know if Lan Ruoxuan has found anything" Yun Qing patted Mengfan's shoulder to express comfort.

Wan'er shook her head: "I didn't find anything." It's just a little weird to me. ”

"Oh what"

Wan'er took out a stack of information and handed it to the two: "You see, for a long time, there have been several horse thief forces operating near the North Sea, but they have not been attacked by the North Navy. ”

"These horse thieves are not small, but they have not attacked the herdsmen of Beihai."

"Originally, I thought it was because Li Xiaotian didn't want to make enemies, and anyway, these horse thieves didn't attack the herdsmen in Beihai. But if you look at this piece of information, Li Xiaotian's army attacked and annihilated the four horse thief forces. ”

"In fact, none of these four horse thieves have attacked the Beihai herdsmen."

"Hmm" Yun Qing frowned slightly, indeed strange.

"Wait." Meng Fan suddenly pointed to the name of a horse thief force that was annihilated: "If I remember correctly, this lone wolf is one of the three major horse thief forces near Beihai, Li Xiaotian even destroyed him, how could he let these weaker horse thief forces go, regardless of this, it is not only strange, but suspicious." ”

"That's true, since there is no threat to the North Sea, why only annihilate these few" Yun Qing also felt that there was something strange in it.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "By the way, could it be that these horse thieves were actually planted by Li Xiaotian?"

He thought of the fact that the Great Prince of Drifting Cloud was secretly supporting pirates.

"Quite possibly. Otherwise, there is no explanation for why he did this, which is not in the interests of the North Sea at all. ”

"Looks like we're going to have to investigate these horse thieves."

"Yes, although Li Xiaotian's reliance can't be these horse thieves, but since he did this, he must have his reasons, maybe we can find something from it."

"Miss Wan'er, then we'll take our leave first." After discovering the strangeness of this matter, Yun Qing immediately went to investigate.

"Wait a minute, you two, I'll go and mark the range of these horse thieves' forces and the possible location of their lair on the map." Wan'er hurriedly stopped them.

After a while, Wan'er returned to the room with a map in her hand: "Two of you, I have already marked it." Hope it helps. ”

The two then left to investigate the horse thieves.

I have to say that with Dream Sail, it is really easy to hurry.

Taking advantage of the chaos to move, in just half an hour, the two of them had already reached the range of activity of the nearest horse thief force marked on the map.

"This is it." Mengfan pointed to the mountain next to him: "That's Xiaoqingshan over there." ”

"It's no wonder they've chosen this place as their main area of activity. It's a good eye. Yun Qing looked at the surrounding situation and sneered: "I don't believe that a horse thief would have such good vision and courage. ”

"Yes, this small green mountain is the only way for caravans, and it is indeed possible to make a lot of money by plundering here. It's just that it will be attacked by nearby tribes. Unless they are tipped off and informed of the actions of nearby tribes. Mengfan analyzed.

"This is near the North Sea, and although the nearby tribes did not throw themselves into the North Sea, they have a good relationship with the tribes of the North Sea. Their actions, the North Sea will certainly know. ”

"That's how it should be." Meng Fan snorted coldly: "No wonder he has the capital to establish Litian City, I'm afraid that Li Xiaotian supports far more horse thieves than these few." I'm afraid that the other horse thief forces in the prairie have a lot to do with him. ”

"If Tuo Yefeng knew about this, would he go directly to assassinate Li Xiaotian, that guy hates horse thieves the most."

"Hee-hee, it's not necessarily impossible. Let's go, hopefully they've been around the neighborhood in the last few days, so they can find some clues. ”

The two of them immediately inspected various dangerous sections.

Sure enough, the traces left by the horse thief were soon found.

"Yunqing, it seems that they have only plundered the caravan in the past few days." Mengfan looked at the horseshoe prints on the ground: "It just rained the day before yesterday, and this horseshoe prints are still so clear, there will be no mistake." ”

"Well, you see, this rut mark, it looks like they have gained a lot."

"The rut marks are very deep, and it seems that there is a lot of goods."

"Not bad. No bodies or stumps were found. Either they didn't kill anyone, or they robbed them all. ”

"But we should also be thankful for the rain." Yun Qing looked at the horseshoe prints: "With these horseshoe prints, it is much easier for us to track them." ”

"Indeed, let's go."

The two of them ran away with horseshoe prints all the way and chased them out for dozens of miles in a row.

"It's in the mountains, and it's going to be troublesome to track it down." Looking at the mountains in front of him, Mengfan felt a little headache.

Yun Qing laughed: "Leave it to me." When I got to the mountains, it was my back garden. If they want to evade my tracking, it's even more impossible. ”

"Oh, I forgot. Let's go. ”

The way Yunqing tracked made Mengfan feel breathtaking.

A few broken thorns, a patch of trampled grass, and even buried ashes were all found by him.

Under Yunqing's tracking, the two soon came to the foot of a rather steep mountain.

"Looks like it's supposed to be on this."

"Such a dangerous terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Choosing this place as a nest is indeed a wise move. ”

The two of them immediately headed up the mountain.

With the strength of the two of them, it was easy to evade the horse thief sentry on the mountain.

"If it was really supported by Li Xiaotian, I'm afraid he would have been doing this for a long time." The two came to the mountain and looked at the cottage of the horse thief in front of them, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

The cottage was so well arranged that if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that it was just a horse thief's village.

"It's so in line with the layout of the marching camp, and some of the small details are even more impressive. The people who set up this stockade are definitely experienced in marching. I really don't know how such a person could be found by Li Xiaotian to be a horse thief. If it were me, I would definitely put such a person in the army. Mengfan sighed.

"It's possible that if this person is put on the bright side, it will cause unnecessary trouble." Yun Qing thought of a possibility: "For example, the leaders of those tribes that the Golden Wolf King once plotted against. ”

"Possibly. Over the years, the Golden Wolf King has destroyed many tribes for various reasons. The chances of some of these tribal leaders surviving are not low. Mengfan nodded: "But what the hell, we can find the horse thief leader here to know." I'm curious about how they have a connection with Li Xiaotian. ”
