Tuoba Yan made a step back, but only asked privately, not searched the camp. Qin Luo knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he didn't make any more requests, and just begged Liu Changfeng to find out the place of detention as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Khan." Qin Luo surrendered, turned his horse's head and left. Tuoba Yan looked at Qin Luo's back, his brows furrowed.

At the beginning of his second brother's suggestion, he knew that Qin Luo would definitely oppose it. So he has been carefully hiding from him, but now he has found out.

Tuoba Yan secretly complained in his heart, they were all second brothers, and he was too hasty. It's too obvious to arrest people now, why not stop them halfway after the craftsmen of the Central Plains leave.

"Khan." Ye Letian is now much closer to Tuoba Yan, and he asked directly if he had some words, "If the Khan knew what the second brother did, would he support him?" ”

Tuoba Yan denied: "No. ”

Yele smiled, very satisfied with the answer, "When the Khan said this, my heart was settled. ”

Tuoba Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Jimmy reminded him that Yeletian was a kind and grateful woman, and in front of her, Tuoba Yan tried his best to behave like a hero - brave and upright.

After Tuoba Yan sent Yele back, he immediately summoned Tuoba Ling, the great master, and this matter was very important, and he had to ask clearly.

"I heard that you arrested those craftsmen in the Central Plains?" Tuoba Yan asked first.

Sure enough, the Great Master was taken aback at first, and his face changed suddenly, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Qin Luo." Tuoba replied.

"It's him again." Tuoba Ling became even more angry when he heard it, it was Qin Luo who ruined his good deeds.

Tuoba Yan asked, "Tell me first, are those craftsmen really imprisoned in your tent?" ”

"No, I'm keeping them in a secret location." Tuoba Ling said.

"That's good, Qin Luo said that he wanted to search the camp." "I haven't promised him yet. ”

"Search the camp, let him come and search." Tuoba Ling showed a sneer, "Qin Luo is getting bolder and bolder now. ”

"Second brother, I thought about it, I don't have to rush to make firearms, why don't I release those craftsmen first. Besides, if we do this, we will offend Nan Chu. ”

"Third brother, are you afraid of offending Nan Chu now?" Tuoba Ling was furious, "And now it's too late to release them, those people have been tortured by me, and two of them are already dead." Nan Chu has already offended Guang. ”

"You—you're going to torture you without my consent?" Tuoba said angrily.

"I asked for instructions." Tuoba Ling was talking about the last time he had a conversation with the Khan.

Tuoba opened his mouth to argue, but found that he had really agreed, and there was no way to refute it. He had to complain: "But when you arrest someone, you should inform me." When Qin Luo came to ask me today, I wasn't prepared at all. ”

"Khan, I have provoked this matter, let me calm it. Just pretend you don't know anything. Tuoba Ling said.

Tuoba Yan just denied this in the morning, and was trying to clear up the relationship. Now that Tuoba Ling is so understanding, Tuoba Yan naturally got off the donkey, "Then so be it." ”

Liu Changfeng rummaged through the tents of the great masters, but never found a place to hold the craftsmen. He touched his head, could it be that he had guessed wrong, the craftsman was not in the tent at all, and was locked up somewhere else?

Liu Changfeng was extremely annoyed, I am afraid that Qin Luo has already asked the Khan to search the camp, if he doesn't find it now, what should he do? I'm afraid that the great masters will take the opportunity to make trouble and take advantage of the situation to bring down Qin Luo. Now they are really riding a tiger, and there is only a line between winning and losing.

"Didn't find it?" Qin Luo frowned and asked again, "Are you sure that they took the craftsmen to the northwest?" ”

"Exactly." Liu Changfeng promised, "I really see it, it's the northwest direction." ”

Qin Luo lowered his head and pondered, there are camps of great masters in the northwest, camps of Alam and Abutai, and some herdsmen live here, where will the great masters hide people?

Liu Changfeng looked at Qin Luo worriedly, "What should I do, if we can't find it, we will lose." ”

There should be no Tibetans in Alam and Abutai. Qin Luo thought to himself, in the past few days of contact with Alem, he was dedicated to training soldiers, and complained that firearms were too difficult to master, so it should be impossible to know the plans of the great power division.

As for the herdsmen's tents, they will not be locked up. Qin Luo thought to himself, the great master would definitely be tortured, and he must find a place to avoid people, so as not to alarm the common people and cause panic.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the northwest with you to have a look." Qin Luo said.

On the second day, Qin Luo went out alone and met Liu Changfeng on a small hillside in the northwest.

Liu Changfeng, as a guide, guided Qin Luo, "I didn't follow them for long, just watched them leave from this road." ”

Qin Luo knew the road, which led to a wide and flat grassland, surrounded by mountains and with a wide field of vision. Qin Luo thought to himself that this was not a place for Tibetans. He asked Liu Changfeng, "Are there any small forests, valleys, or caves nearby, I want to go and see them?" ”

"Yes, but it's a lot, and it's dangerous." Liu Changfeng said, "There may be snakes in the woods, and there are many fierce beasts in the valley, do you really want to go in person?" ”

"Of course." Qin Luo was not afraid, he said firmly, "With you, I can rest assured." ”

Qin Luo and Liu Changfeng entered the nearest grove first, which was like a wild jungle with no people, overgrown with weeds and full of danger. Even the best shooters on the steppe did not dare to come to this forest easily.

Liu Changfeng took Qin Luo in, guarded him all the way, and always reminded Qin Luo to be careful of his step. It is very likely that poisonous snakes or flying insects will come out of nowhere, and once bitten, I am afraid that there will be no way to recover.

Qin Luo kept his head down and walked cautiously, and Liu Changfeng cut down small branches along the way to avoid scratching people. As he walked, Qin Luo suddenly squatted down, "What do you think this is?" ”

"What?" Liu Changfeng was very strange, Qin Luo stared at the pile of black powder on the ground, not knowing what to do.

Qin Luo pinched a little black powder with his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, Liu Changfeng also squatted down, and dipped his fingertips in some powder to study.

"It's not something that's supposed to be in the woods." Qin Luo said, "Someone has walked through here. ”

"What is this black thing?" Liu Changfeng didn't see the doorway.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably iron filings." Qin Luo replied.

"Iron filings, is it Uncle Sun?" Liu Changfeng suddenly understood, "Uncle Sun deliberately left a mark along the road? ”

"I guess so." Qin Luo said, "Uncle Sun is really smart. ”

"But the iron filings are black and fine, how can we find them?" Liu Chang is in the limelight, and now that it's almost dark, do they want to use torches and lie on the ground to find black powder?

Qin Luo thought for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Let's go, let's find a blacksmith shop first and ask for a magnet." ”
