Winter has gone to spring and another year, the sunshine in early spring has become warmer and warmer, the frozen world is gradually thawing, and the pasture grass on the grassland has slowly revealed new shoots.

This is the third year that Zhao Hao has come to the Ancient Age, and the Salt Department has become a true nomadic tribe under his transformation, and the Black Stone Department has also built a strong city with his help.

Everything seems to be thriving because of his arrival, but if they can't withstand the retaliation of Xue Man's department, all of this may become a moon in the mirror.

Xue Manbu, how many people will be sent to retaliate?

After Zhao Hao arranged everything for the Salt Ministry, he took Ah Yun and Ah Yue and went straight to Salt Stone City.

His arrival naturally made Cangwu excited, because Cangwu had been worried for a winter.

The prestige of the Xue Manbu is not fake, not to mention their thousands of elite soldiers, let's just say that those legendary masters with a strength of more than 10,000 catties are enough to make people tremble, the Black Stone Ministry, can they really withstand the revenge of the Xue Manbu?

On the wall of the main gate of Salt Stone City, Cang Wu looked at the sturdy people who were practicing hard below, and asked with a complicated expression: "Heavenly Leader, can we really withstand the retaliation of Xue Man's department?" ”

It's really hard to say this question, and Zhao Hao is actually not absolutely sure.

He was silent for a while, and then he muttered: "If Tu Meng is in person, I will definitely not be his opponent, but if it is just an ordinary general who leads the army, our chances of victory are still very good." ”

Cang Wu said worriedly: "Even if Tu Meng doesn't come this time, we win, and later, he will still come after all." ”

This is highly likely.

Zhao Hao nodded slowly and said: "Yes, Tumeng will come after all, but our strength has not been stagnant." This time, if we can defeat the army of the Xue Manbu, it is estimated that we will have another year, and when the time comes, we can continue to hunt foreign beasts and enhance our strength, and one day, I will definitely be able to surpass that Tumeng. ”

After all, one day, I don't know which day it is!

Cang Wu was still a little worried: "Alas, I don't know how many people Xue Man's Department will send this time, and we don't know if we can beat them this time." ”

When Zhao Hao heard this, he suddenly said mysteriously: "Do you want to know?" ”

Cang Wu nodded subconsciously and said, "Of course I want to know." ”

Zhao Hao smiled slightly: "That's okay, I just want to go to the edge of the northern grassland you said to spy on it, why don't you go with me, it just so happens that you have also been to Tumeng's territory, you should know the general path of their coming, right?" ”

Go to the edge of the steppe to the north!

How to get there?

If you go there, it will take three months!

Cang Wu probably understands the meaning of spying, that is, to see how many people Xue Manbu sent this time.

Question, is it necessary to run so hard to get through?

He couldn't help but ask, "What are we running over for?" Maybe, we will meet someone from Xue Man's Department halfway, what should we do then? ”

Zhao Hao continued to say mysteriously: "You don't have to worry about this, just follow me." ”

Cang Wu followed Zhao Hao, followed Ah Yun and Ah Yue, crossed the Black Stone Ridge, rode the white dragon, and came to the grassland.

The moment he rode the white dragon, he knew how to get to the edge of the grassland in the north.

He really didn't expect that this wild horse could still be ridden, especially since they were riding a strange beast!

As for horseback riding, it was not difficult for a master like him with a strength of more than 5,000 catties, he just practiced for a while, and then he rode decently.

Zhao Hao took him back to the place where the salt department lived, said to his mother, ordered ten more young men, and then set off with hundreds of horses and more than ten tents.

Three months, that's just the time for people to walk, if you ride a horse, in fact, it doesn't take ten days, because the speed of the horse galloping, an hour is almost equivalent to a person's journey for a day, even if they only ride a horse for ten hours a day, they have to walk for three months on their legs, and it is only a matter of eight or nine days.

All the way to the north, Zhao Hao originally thought that he could hunt a few strange beasts to increase his strength, but he never thought that this way, let alone foreign beasts, what wild cattle herds, wild sheep herds and wild horse herds, they had never encountered, and what they could encounter were just some lonely bison and wild sheep.

This is probably because the people who have been passing by by by the Xue Manbu over the years have almost cleaned up the fierce beasts and alien beasts along the way, and the footprints of the strong have been left on this route, and even the alien beasts are too frightened to stay nearby.

This also proves that the path they took was the path that Xue Man's tribe had been going south all along.

There was nothing to do all the way, and everyone galloped on the grassland for nine days, and finally came to the edge of the northern grassland, in front, which was also a boundless wild jungle.

So, how can we spy on the whereabouts of Xue Man's army?

Could it be that you will go to the nearest settlement of the Xue Manbu and wait?

This is definitely not possible, a group of people like them suddenly appear in the sight of others, and people are likely to notice that something is wrong.

In other words, not only could they not go to the gathering place of Xue Manbu, but they also had to try to avoid appearing in the sight of others.

So, what exactly to do?

The method adopted by Zhao Hao is very simple, that is, to wait for the rabbit.

He directly inspected the intersection of the grassland and the wild jungle, and found a few traces that were obviously left by a large number of people, and then built some hidden simple tree houses where these people from the Xue Barbarian Department might have passed, and asked his ten young men to take turns to hide in the tree houses and guard.

Then he found a hidden valley in the jungle and set up camp, and began to wait.

Will someone from Xue Man's Department come?

There is no doubt about that.

Maybe the disappearance of a Gongzi Sheng is not enough to attract their attention, but even Gongzi Yinglou and fifty sturdy soldiers have lost the news, and they can't talk about it if they don't pay attention to it.

The reason why Tu Meng didn't immediately send people to the Black Stone Department to investigate or take revenge was mainly because the scope of the western wing of Xue Man's Department was too large, and it would take time for him to mobilize people.

After waiting on the edge of the grassland for more than ten days, finally, in the afternoon of this day, near sunset, a young man flew to report and found the traces of Xue Man's army.

When Zhao Hao received the news, he immediately took Cangwu and followed the young man to touch it carefully.

At this time, the people of Xue Man's tribe had already begun to build temporary tree houses on the edge of the jungle, and they seemed to want to rest in the jungle for a night before stepping into the grassland.

Zhao Hao roughly counted the number of these people, and the number of these people was about five hundred, and they were all strong soldiers.

As for the leader, he searched for a long time, and then he saw a strong man with a divine soldier on his waist standing there staring majestically at the work of this group.

Obviously, this guy is not trying to be fierce, because this guy is wearing animal skins, not cloth clothes, and besides, this guy has no retinue or beautiful women around him.

This should be just an ordinary general of Xue Man's Department.

He carefully observed for a while, then took Cangwu back to the hidden valley, and quickly recalled all the secret posts, and then he ordered people to pack up the camp tent, go directly to the road, and gallop back overnight for more than an hour, before re-establishing the camp on the grassland.
