When it was dark, the team stopped to camp, and Liu Wenxuan took Zhao Yi to leave first.

In the caravan, several sets of Vedic clothes had already been prepared, and after Qin Xiao and Dapeng changed into the clothes of Vedic herdsmen, if they didn't get closer and take a closer look, they wouldn't be able to recognize the Tang people from the Guannei.

The two of them packed up and set off in the direction of Zephyr without delay.

The caravan is now in the place where the Woodlanders are grazing, and everyone knows that the Wild West Death Wing is bold, but it is not good to come here again, after all, once the Vedic people find their traces, they will inevitably gather troops and horses to chase after them, and the Wild West Death Wing will cause trouble.

The two set off overnight and drove dozens of miles in one breath into the Vedic grazing area.

The territory of the Vedic Khanate is actually very vast, although the eight tribes of the Veda are the main body, but the tribes under it are as numerous as hair, just a few decades, the way of life of many tribes has not been completely changed, still maintain the original habits.

The White Wolf tribe controlled a large area, but the Gobi Sands occupied a large area, and in addition to the herdsmen, which was much the same way as the Vedic people.

And the people walked through the vast fields all night, and from time to time passed by the shepherds' camps, but they were scattered in a few tents, and they did not bother, and the shepherds seemed to be accustomed to people running in the fields, and did not care.

The two of them were almost non-stop, and by dusk the next day, the outline of the mountains appeared vaguely in front of them, Qin Xiao opened the map, which was very clearly drawn, and said to Dapeng: "Brother Dapeng, the front is Langtu Mountain, look at the map drawn, the road is not short, the mountain road is rugged there, it is not easy to walk, we may not be able to pass Langtu Mountain tonight." ”

"I've heard of Wolf Rush Mountain." Dapeng said: "In the early years, the caravan that went west would change when they heard the Wolf Tu Mountain, which was the most dangerous place on the way to Tang City, stretching for dozens of miles, the road was really not easy to walk, and many ferocious people took the Wolf Tu Mountain as a hunting place. ”

"What's going on now?"

"The Utuos have sent troops to clear and suppress many times, and they have eliminated many bandits that are wandering near Langtu Mountain." Dapeng said: "There are very few horse bandits in Langtu Mountain now, but if you are unlucky, you will still encounter some wild dogs that hunt wild food." ”

"Wild food?"

"There are also many people in the Vedas who cannot survive." Dapeng explained: "Those who are bold will gather together and ambush in that mountain, looking for an opportunity to attack. They are not many in number, and they do not dare to act during the day, often a few people lie in ambush at night, and if they see a lone or weak pedestrian, they will rush out to rob the property. The caravan called these people wild dogs, which meant mockery, they were not as fierce as horse thieves, they could only bully the weak, and pick up some bones to eat. ”

Qin Xiao smiled: "This is very vivid. After a pause, he said: "Brother Dapeng, we have been on the road for a day, even if we enter the Wolf Tu Mountain tonight, we can't go out, I mean, tomorrow at dawn, let's enter the mountain again, at that time the sight is good, and as you said, we will not meet wild dogs again, and we will definitely be able to get out of the Wolf Tu Mountain in one day." ”

"Do as you say." Dapeng nodded, looked around, raised his hand and pointed to the south: "Brother Wang, look over there, there are a few tents, or we will borrow it there for a night tonight." ”

Qin Xiao said: "That's the tent of the Wutuo herdsmen?" ”

"Don't worry, although we have fought with the Woods, not all of them are extremely vicious." Dapeng smiled: "The Wutuo herdsmen are very hospitable and warm. We don't

If you sleep in the grass here at night, tomorrow morning, your face will be covered with bloody bumps from insect bites. Don't underestimate the poisonous insects here, they are very fierce, and some of them can even kill people. ”

"Is it so fierce?"

"It's not alarmist, there were people who were killed by poisonous insects before." Dapeng said: "If you don't go into the mountains tonight, you must find shepherds to spend the night, they live here and know how to deal with poisonous insects." Pointing to the tent over there, he said, "It looks like it's just a simple tent, but where they set up their tents, they smoked medicinal herbs, and those snakes and insects didn't dare to approach." When the caravan arrived at this meadow and set up camp, sometimes they did not bring medicine, and they had to buy it from them, and scattered travelers like us were also happy to take them in, and when they left, they left them some money. ”

Qin Xiao thought for a moment before he said, "Brother Dapeng, although we are wearing the clothes of the Vedic people, we are not their people at first glance. We stay, will they leak the news? ”

"You see, the aquatic plants here are not very lush." Dapeng has some experience: "So the herdsmen here are definitely not from the Vedic tribe, but only a very small tribe, there are only five or six tents there, at most a few herdsmen's families, they are the most ordinary people in the Vedas, they don't know any powerful people, and this place is relatively remote, not to mention that they won't report the news, even if they really report the news, there is nowhere to report it for a while." He glanced at Qin Xiao and said with a smile: "They live here, there is still a lot of way to go from Tang City, I'm afraid they don't even know what happened in Tang City, for them, the sunrise and the sunset are life, there is no need to cause trouble." ”

Qin Xiao knew that what Dapeng said was not unreasonable, and nodded: "In that case, let's go over and spend the night tonight." ”

The two patted their horses and went to the tent, and saw dozens of cattle and sheep near the tent from a distance, several shepherds were grazing over there, close to the edge of the tent, an old shepherd in his early fifties stared at the two, and when the two got off the horse, the old shepherd bent down and saluted, and Dapeng also saluted, and said: "Old man, we are Tang people from Guannei, we want to meet our caravan, it is too late, I dare not enter the mountain, I want to spend a night here, I don't know if it is convenient?" ”

The old shepherd looked up at Tian Sè, showed a kind smile, and said in a half-baked Central Plains dialect: "It's dark, don't go into the mountains, just stay here for a night." And he said, "I'll find someone to build a tent for you." And he said no more, but went over to the flock.

"Know he can speak?"

Dapeng said with a smile: "In front of us is Langtu Mountain, and we are not the only ones who dare not enter the mountain at night." You see, their tent is not set up here temporarily, it should be stationed here for a long time, there must have been many people who stayed here before, and it is natural for them to learn a few words of Central Plains. ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that it was really right to be on a team with Dapeng, Dapeng has a more introverted personality, but he is more meticulous in observation and full of experience, if he is replaced by Zhao Yi, I am afraid he will not be so careful.

The two tied their horses, and the old shepherd had already brought three young herdsmen over, and the young herdsmen carried the tent, nodded and smiled at Qin Xiao, and did not speak, and began to set up tents nearby.

"Very few caravans have passed through this neighborhood lately." The old shepherd brought two bowls of goat's milk and said, "After setting up the tent, you will rest first, and I will bring you food later, and if there is anything you need help with, just tell us." ”

The two took the goat's milk, but Dapeng was not polite, and poured it down, Qin Xiao smelled the taste,

It's really a little uncomfortable, seeing Dapeng drink it all, knowing that the locals follow the customs, and others are kind enough to send milk, I really can't help but give face, and endure a mouthful.

He bent down to express his gratitude, handed the bowl back to the old shepherd with both hands, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that something seemed to be wrong not far away, and turned his head to look over, just in time to see a figure retracted into a tent, a little strange.

The tent was set up quickly, a temporary tent, not very big, but more than enough for two people.

Qin Xiao thought to himself that this place should be the same as the inn in Guannei, when guests come, they will set up tents as guest rooms, and they will provide them if they need anything, and when they leave, they will leave the room money.

Suddenly, I thought that someone had retracted the tent just now, and I couldn't help but look over again, but found that there were two tents over there that were obviously newly erected, similar to the tent I wanted to live in.

When it got dark, Qin Xiao and Dapeng were already lying in the tent.

Although the tent is not big, the two of them are quite open inside, and the ground here in the camp has naturally been cleared of weeds, and they are pounced on cowhide to make beds, which is naturally a big gap compared to the guest rooms of the Central Plains Inn.

The meal was delivered by an old woman, and it was not as delicate as the Central Plains dishes, but the aroma of the grilled meat coated with the toppings was very appetizing.

The two of them feasted, Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I also eat barbecue in Guannai, but if you want to eat real barbecue, it's better here, it's charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it's really delicious in the world." ”

"So when we leave tomorrow, we really can't be stingy." Dapeng drank milk wine and ate meat: "I estimate that they make a living by receiving accommodation, and the cattle and sheep they raise are used to make food for guests." ”

Qin Xiao laughed, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Dapeng, there seem to be other guests here?" ”

"I see it." Dapeng nodded and said, "It has nothing to do with us, don't worry about it." Leaned over and blew out the light, and said softly: "Go to bed early, there are still a lot of things to do, let's recuperate." ”

It was pitch black inside the tent, Qin Xiao was lying on a cowhide, and there was silence all around.

The shepherds all slept early, and occasionally heard a few cows mooing.

Qin Xiao knew that he and Dapeng had been galloping for a day, and no matter how fast the caravan was, it would take at least two or three days to travel, and they had been left far behind.

The night was quiet, and he was about to close his eyes to sleep, when he suddenly heard a very light footsteps, his heart sank, and he looked at Dapeng's side, but saw that Dapeng had quietly sat up and made a gesture to this side, but it was to let him not act rashly.

Although Dapeng was sitting, he deliberately made a snoring sound, but Qin Xiao had already taken out the fish intestine spines hidden on his body and held them in his hands.

Although the tent was unusually dark, but tonight there was a moon, and the outside was quite bright, and soon, I saw a crack in the tent door, and someone was carefully opening the tent, and then Dapeng lay down, snoring constantly.

Qin Xiao also lay down, clenching the fish intestine thorns, just waiting for the person to really enter the tent, and the two immediately took action.
