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, and his body moved a little, and he didn't speak.

"I know people don't know how to talk about it, and I don't want everyone to talk about it all the time." Qin Xiao smiled faintly: "But the eldest prince didn't think of it for a while, it doesn't mean that he won't be able to think about it in the future." I don't have to tell him, I'm sure he'll be able to think about it soon after he's calmed down. ”

"I'm sleepy, you can go." Everyone has an eviction order.

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Everyone always have a good rest, the horses of the caravan will not recover until tomorrow, so the caravan can't leave today." He looked up at the sky and said, "If I hadn't believed Uncle Wen's words, I would have been worried that they would have gone and returned tonight." They certainly haven't entered the customs yet, and they won't even be able to do so anytime soon. To enter Xiling, there is only one way to Kunlun Pass, and dozens of heavily armed cavalry want to enter Xiling through Kunlun Pass, which is simply wishful thinking. ”

Seeing that everyone had already closed their eyes, Qin Xiao didn't say much and got up to leave.

On this day, the caravan could only stay on the shores of Lake Zhuma.

The news of Tangren City had naturally spread in Xiling, so there were no other caravans coming, and for a whole day, the caravans that used to be endless coming and going did not see a single caravan.

The caravan was actually very worried that Arasai Deathwing would not keep his word and would go and return to attack again.

But the caravan's combat effectiveness suffered a devastating blow, half of the guards died, and many of the rest were wounded, if the Arasai Death Wing resolutely attacked the caravan regardless of everyone's old life and death, everyone knew that it would not be spared.

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

However, Yuwen Chengchao knows very well that the traitor planted in the caravan by Death Wing has not yet been identified, and in the current situation, it is not easy to find out the traitor, and it is not the time.

The existence of a traitor is a huge threat.

At present, the caravan can still be safe and sound, just because there is still a bargaining chip in the hand, and it is not excluded that the traitor will find an opportunity to rescue everyone, so the guard of everyone is extremely strict, before dark, he will be sent into a tent, in addition to being guarded outside the tent, two people will be sent to watch in the tent, and the fat fish and others will take turns to watch them.

The veterinarian is to take people to restore the horse's strength as soon as possible.

Staying in Zhuma Lake, you will face danger at any time, so being able to leave a moment earlier is just like leaving the dangerous place a moment earlier.

The next morning, many of the horses regained their strength and were able to stand up, but it was not until after noon, when most of the horses had eaten the horse feed, that they really regained their strength.

Yuwen Chengchao did not delay, and immediately ordered everyone to set up the car, everything was ready, and immediately marched west.

In order to stay away from the danger, the caravan's rest time was greatly reduced, although the day did not stop traveling, even at night, it was no longer like before when it was dusk to choose a place to camp, if there was a moon, it would continue to rush by the moonlight, if the sky was too dark, but also until everyone really couldn't hold on to camp.

After walking like this for three or four days, all I saw along the way were dirt mountains, which were naturally not as majestic as the peaks of Guannai, and they were all desolate.

Finally, through the deserted place, I began to see the greenery, and in the distance there were also green mountains, and I vaguely saw the tribes camped in the meadows, with few people, grazing horses and sheep.

Qin Xiao knew that this was the real entry into the activities of the Vedic people

place.

"This is a small tribe under the White Wolf Tribe." Shopkeeper Tian deliberately rode a horse to follow Qin Xiao's side, pointing to the tent not far away to explain.

Qin Xiao captured everyone's old man and let the caravan turn the corner from danger to safety, the caravan was naturally clear, if there were still people who had doubts about the young Qin Xiao before, but after that night, everyone was already in awe of him, knowing that this young deputy commander had real skills.

Tian Dou's two shopkeepers have been extremely enthusiastic about Qin Xiao in the past two days.

"These small tribes used to live here, free and loose, and although they fought with each other, they were able to turn their rivalry into war in the end." Tian shopkeeper sighed: "Before the Vedas migrated here, there were dozens of tribes in this area, and no one could eat anyone, and when the Vedas came, in just a few years, they all became slaves, not only to pay taxes, but also to serve as soldiers. ”

"Do they hate the Vultures?"

"Naturally, it is hate, but so what?" Tian shopkeeper said: "When the Vedas conquered them, they were merciless, and the entire tribe was slaughtered. Now the strength of the eight tribes of the Vedas, these small tribes have no other way than to prostrate at the feet of the Vedas as slaves to live, although the eight tribes of the Vedas will also have some fights, but if there are the following tribes to make trouble, the eight tribes are working together and will not show mercy. ”

Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Being able to conquer a large area of land in just a few decades and still establish a country in this land, if they themselves are not united, they will not be able to do this." ”

"Brother Wang, the eldest prince asked you to come over." Zhao Yi rode over and greeted Qin Xiao, "There is something to discuss." ”

Qin Xiao agreed, urged the horse forward, and when he arrived at Yuwen Chengchao's side, he saw that he was talking to Fat Fish.

"The eldest son!"

Yuwen Chengchao looked over and said: "Dozens of miles further on, there is a sandy land, and it takes three days to pass directly through the sand, but the conditions are bad, and the coyotes in that sandy land are infested, even the Vedic people rarely go over there." He raised his hand and pointed to the left front, "If you want to go around the sand, you can take a detour from the south, but it will take nearly two more days, but the road will be much easier, and most of the caravans will choose to take a detour." ”

"Everything is up to the eldest prince."

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said, "I still mean to take a detour, but speed up, board the caravan to the West Wind Fort, and everyone will have a good rest." ”

"Eldest Prince, how many days are there to get to Zephyr?"

"Through the sand, you can reach Fort Zephyr in less than two days." Yuwen Chengchao said: "If we take a detour, if we are fast enough, it will take about six days at most." After a pause, he continued: "But after we left the customs, there was no news from Tang City and Zephyr Castle. Looking up: "I want to send someone over there first to find out what is going on over there." ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that this is not wrong, starting from Fengganfu City, it has been about ten days now, and there has been no team from Wutuo to Xiling along the way, whether there has been a new change in the situation there, no one knows, but it is also the safest way to send someone over to investigate the situation first.

"Tang City and Zephyr Castle will send people over to find out the situation." Yuwen Chengchao's expression was serious: "Our caravan has not completely attracted the attention of the Vedas for the time being, but if we go further, we will definitely be targeted by the Vedas." ”

Fat Yu said: "These days, there are no more caravans coming from the pass, but our caravan is eye-catching. ”

"So before being targeted, those who inquire about the news must

You must leave the team as soon as possible. Yuwen Chengchao Zhengse said: "There are not many Wutuo people here, after dark, leave the team and dress up again, it shouldn't be too much of a problem." ”

"Is the eldest prince worried that there is a problem over there in Zephyr Castle?"

"Chinatown was burned, send someone over to inquire about 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 Zephyr Castle goes, I got the news that many merchants have taken refuge there, but no one has come out recently, and I wonder if those merchants are under control. If this is the case, our caravan will have to pass, and it will be self-defeating. ”

Qin Xiao nodded slightly and asked, "Who is the eldest prince going to arrange to find out the news?" "I glanced at the fat fish's legs, and knew that the fat fish had been slashed in the thigh before, and the muscles and bones were injured, and the injury was quite serious.

Send someone to find out the news, of course, you can't just call two people.

At the moment, there are not many people in the caravan who are qualified to be sent out to inquire about the news.

"Over there in Tangren City, Deputy Commander Liu has promised to go in person, Zhao Yi has recovered a lot from his injuries, and he will go with Deputy Commander Liu." Yuwen Chengchao said softly: "Over there is West Wind Castle, no candidate has been determined. The fat fish's leg is injured and he can't go, and the madman's old wound has not healed, and a new injury has been added, which is not suitable. Originally, I was going to take the Roc with me, but ......! ”

Qin Xiao immediately understood what Yuwen Chengchao meant.

Yuwen Chengchao is the backbone of the caravan, so naturally he can't leave easily, and he has a special identity, so he really can't go to danger easily.

After all, anything can happen, and spies are needed to be able to deal with all kinds of emergencies, of course, those horsemen can't take on this role, that is, the elites of the White Tiger Battalion, it is natural to let them fight with people, but it is not very suitable for them to inquire about the news.

"Eldest son, it's really not possible, I'll go with Dapeng." Qin Xiao thought for a while, and said very simply: "The goal of the two people is not big, it is not easy to attract attention, let's go over there to inquire about the situation, if there is no big problem, we will go back and meet with you." ”

Yuwen Chengchao smiled: "That's what I mean. Although Dapeng is clever, he is not good at words, you are not panicked, you can improvise, in fact, you are the most suitable person, you and Dapeng go to Zephyr Castle, I can rest assured. ”

"Then we'll leave after dark?"

Yuwen Chengchao nodded: "We took a detour from the south, passing through a grassland, where the Vedic tribe gathered, and walking through that grassland, from beginning to end in the sight of the Vedic people, so before entering, you have to leave the team." After you depart, the caravan will slow down and wait for you to bring back the news and see how it moves. ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that Yuwen Chengchao was very careful in arranging it like this, but since he had arrived at the territory of the Wutuo people, and there was also the Tang City incident before, it would naturally not be wrong to be careful in everything.

"This is a map reproduced from the Tian shopkeeper's side, and it roughly shows the route to Zephyr Castle." Qin Xiao handed a map to Qin Xiao: "According to the map, you can reach the West Wind Castle." Brother Wang, be careful on this trip, safety first, it's really difficult to find out the news, don't be reckless, both of you will come back safely. ”

Qin Xiao put away the map and said with a smile: "Don't worry, eldest prince, we will definitely come back safe and sound." ”
