Chapter 507: Sect Cavalry
The distance of more than 100 kilometers is not a long time, and after just over an hour, the group has already arrived at a very hidden outpost that is only two or three kilometers away from the border line.
The Iron Riding Gate has been operating here for thousands of years, and there are still such small means.
This outpost was located in a sparse poplar forest, already in a half-steppe and half-desert zone, and behind a tall mountain pack in the poplar forest, there was an entrance, directly underground.
Qin Ruo rode a horse and followed Na Ping directly down the passage, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: this passage was enough for five horses to run in parallel, about ten meters wide and four meters high, and it looked extremely flat: this was prepared for a quick cavalry attack.
After about a kilometer, the ground flattened out, and it was estimated that it was 100 meters below the surface.
Looking at it, there was a brightly lit empty hall that was enough for thousands of square meters, and on the four walls of the hall, countless small rooms had been dug, and Na Ping took Qin Ruo and them directly to the room on the right, and stopped at random.
Qin Ruo saw the inconspicuous entrance to the room on this cave that he didn't know one of the hundreds, and he originally wondered what to do with eleven people and eleven tall horses, but after entering the door, he found that the space inside reached hundreds of square meters, with rooms and stables, and the design was very good.
Qin Ruo couldn't help but look at Na Ping: "If this place is running at full capacity, wouldn't it be able to hide tens of thousands of people?" β
Na Ping smiled slightly: "It's not so mysterious, it can only carry a thousand people." A courtyard is inhabited by a standard of thirty people, and there are thirty-five in all, and when you count it, it is only one thousand and fifty men and horses. There are many rooms you see, but the others are rooms stocked with various supplies. The cavalry needed much more supplies than the infantry. What's more, the cavalry of our sect just fed the various medicinal materials needed to feed the war horses, so they set up several large warehouses to store them. β
That Ping didn't see the outside, and introduced it to Qin Ruo very carefully, but it was only a superficial thing, a deeper thing, and there was no time.
The reason why they stopped here was to wait until it was dark, and when it was dark, it was always more convenient, otherwise it would not be the case to swagger across the border in broad daylight.
What's more, once they've crossed the border, they'll have to infiltrate the base as quickly as possible, looking for any possible evidence, and then return quickly at night.
Qin Ruo nodded, didn't ask more, now is not the time to ask this. But he didn't ask much, just saw the surface, Qin Ruo couldn't help but be a little surprised: the true power of the Iron Riding Gate, I'm afraid everyone underestimated it. Just to operate such a base, I am afraid that it will require astronomical material support. The average mainland sect seems to be wealthy, but in fact, I am afraid that it is still far worse than a sect like the Iron Cavalry Sect that has been preparing for war all year round.
It's just that the Iron Cavalry Sect prepares for war all year round, and a large part of the wealth has to be used to prepare for war, but it can be used in peacetime, which is less than the ordinary sects in the mainland.
Settling in is easy, it's all readily available.
Qin Ruo brushed Chihuo's body, and according to the teachings of other senior brothers, he got the materials right, and only after sweating did he go back to the room and take a bath.
I took a shower, wrapped in a bath towel, and it was not easy to go out, so I simply planned to rest in the room. At this time, Naping came over with a bag of mare's milk wine.
"Senior brother, take a sip." Nahei was obviously not in a good mood.
Qin Ruo nodded and took two cups.
The mare's milk wine was put down and poured out the contents of a small bag in the other hand, but it was five or six tin cans, and he opened it with the knife he was wearing and put it on the table, Qin Ruo smelled a smell of braised mutton, and the others were all mutton products......
"Senior brother, worried?" Qin Ruo took the chopsticks and put them on the table, and casually picked up the mutton with chopsticks, it tasted good, and it was a product of the sect, and the taste was very pure.
Na Ping shook his head: "It's not like I haven't done this kind of thing." I just don't understand a little, this north Maozi is a little abnormal this year, as if he is crazy, counting, the number of times they come to harass this year is more than usual for five or six years, and this is only half a year. β
Qin Ruo frowned, because the affairs in the south were also in the past half a year, and the harassment continued to increase: this was because there was a matter of spirit beasts hurting people in the south, so he deliberately went to count and found out. After all, everyone shouldn't do the same thing.
But with intentional statistics, it feels like things are not so simple.
Qin Ruo took a big sip of mare's milk wine and exhaled: "Senior brother, I also feel strange. The affairs of the south have also been the affairs of the last half year. It seems that there is something wrong with them, but at the moment we have too little news to be sure, so we can only guard against it for the time being. As for me, I should only be the first batch, if I guess correctly, I am actually an observer on the surface, a real investigator, I am afraid that I have already penetrated into neighboring countries. β
Qin Ruo knows the domestic situation very well, and he is naturally very clear about the domestic way of doing things, and he will never make only one preparation, no matter what it is, it must be multi-pronged, especially when it comes to this kind of major event.
He guessed well, except for him, the rest of the people who were secretly investigating, whether it was the south or the north, each had several other teams lurking, and even moved a little earlier than Qin Ruo's action.
Na Ping nodded, but he was still frowning: "Senior brother, you came from a pure heart, and now you have a different identity, is there any news?" β
Qin Ruo cried and laughed a little: "My identity ...... I really don't want it, it's nice to say, it's the person in charge, but I'm actually busy all day long, and I don't feel any use. As for the news, it is more well-informed, what news do you want to know? β
"About this recent spirit beast invasion, of course." Nahei said softly.
Qin Ruo shook his head: "I really don't know much about this matter, and I just knew, so I'm in a hurry to come out." However, at the beginning, I thought it was just an ordinary thing, but now it seems that it is not so simple. β
Naping thought about it, nodded and said, "Actually...... Not only to the south and north, but also to the west. β
Qin Ruo was taken aback: "What's wrong with the west?" Why is there no news? β
Na Ping smiled bitterly: "There is a Kunlun faction in the west, I heard that it has been invaded several times recently, but you know the strength of the Kunlun faction, they are very neat, and the other party is also a little stupid, and more importantly, the Kunlun faction has a large number of people, and they are extremely careful about this aspect of things, and they have never relaxed their vigilance outside, after all, what happened hundreds of years ago is a lesson from the past." As a result, the people sent by the other party were directly wiped out by the Kunlun faction, and the people sent by the three waves were lost, and hundreds of people and nearly a hundred spirit beasts were lost. β
Qin Ruo was taken aback: "Why didn't you hear the news from the Kunlun faction?" Bixiao Palace is in the Tianshan Mountains, and they don't have any movement. β
The Kunlun sect is a big sect, and this kind of thing can be regarded as a trivial matter, and it is normal not to notify other sects. The same is actually true of Bixiao Palace, as one of the two major sects in the west, the strength of Bixiao Palace is not much worse than that of the Kunlun faction. But He Xilin of Bixiao Palace has a very good relationship with Qin Ruo, why didn't he sue him?
In fact, at this point, Qin Ruo was a little wronged by He Xilin, because Bixiao Palace, like the Kunlun faction, didn't take this as the same thing at all, the Kunlun faction killed several groups of people, and Bixiao Palace also had a share, but the opponent was a little weaker, and they didn't think about notifying the sect at all.
Qin Ruo's mood became heavy: "Are they planning to besiege Huaxia?" β
Naping shook his head lightly after a long while: "This kind of Cheng DΓΉ's harassment is not a siege at all. And, very importantly, their actions this time seem to be directed at the world, not at us. β
Qin Ruo was even more strange: "The sect world tries to avoid contact with the world, but they are like this, don't they want to become the public enemies of the sect?" β
Not only in China, but also in the world, this is also a taboo, but they specifically violate this taboo, which is strange.
Naping was very puzzled and said, "That's why I'm strange." Could it be that they intend to disturb the construction of the world on our side? That has an effect, after all, the world is now peaceful, and the death of one or two people is a great event, and they do this a few times, as long as they succeed, it will be a major event that will shake the whole country, and the impact on China is indeed extremely bad. β
Qin Ruo's heart jumped slightly: "For the world, but what is this for?" Is it just to make us feel bad? β
Naping didn't speak, just shook his head slightly, because he couldn't read either.
After resting until the evening, at ten o'clock, Naping went to gather the people and prepare to go. However, he and Qin Ruo did not rest, and only when night fell, they meditated for a few hours to recover their bodies. During this period, Naping also went to take care of the horses once.
Qin Ruo is still in good spirits at the moment, he doesn't have any bad feelings, but his spirit is a little bad, and he is thinking about the behavior of his foreign counterparts.
The group didn't have many words, the task had been known for a long time, and now it was just carried out.
The horses walked out of the passage and looked at the sky, Na Ping turned around and nodded to the people behind him, then turned around and set off quickly, and the people behind immediately followed.
The rest of the distance has been crossed in more than ten minutes, in their eyes, the secular border is more symbolic, and they never recognize the existing national border, they believe that the national border of China should be the national border of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
But at this point......
Crossing the national border is actually a commonplace for them. Moreover, in the vast grassland area, the national border stretches for thousands of miles, and it is too easy to find a place to cross the border.
There is actually no difference between inside and outside the national border, but when you step across the national border, everyone can't help but be vigilant, as if you have come to a different world.
