Moreover, it means that the 3,000 men and horses he brought in will be quietly replaced with the people of the Salt Gang, and the people of the Salt Gang will follow the caravan back, and their own people will lurk in the various strongholds of the Salt Gang, in case of a disaster and escape, they can gather strength all the way to protect the members of the mission, and then escape back to the Guannai along the escape route of the Salt Gang.

This is only his first and most important step.

Since the people of the White Lotus Sect can enter and exit freely, it means that they must have a safe passage, and there are people in various places to escort them, otherwise it is impossible to avoid the eyes and ears of the local government.

The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, this was only the first cave he had dug for himself and his mission.

If he travels alone, he doesn't need to spend such a big Zhou Zhang at all, as long as he takes Zhuo Maolin and Xiaojun, he can go back and forth safely, and people don't know it. But the mission, with more than a hundred people following him, became a burden, and no one dared to guarantee the safety of their lives.

The danger after the negotiation, besides, he realized it immediately after hearing Zhang Juzheng tell him, a strong sense of crisis quickly attacked his cranial nerves, this feeling is not reasonable, just the most instinctive feeling.

Although he is proficient in the Jingfang Najia system, he has never studied the use of this system for divination, but it is used to diagnose diseases and calculate prescriptions, and use the Jingfang system to benefit people's health.

The Jingfang Najia system was originally used for divination, and it is recognized as a method with the highest accuracy, but it is very difficult to master and use this system, and the later fortune-telling method of eight characters and eight pillars is basically developed from this system, and the courage is much rougher, although it is easier to master, but the accuracy is reduced a lot. Even so, there are very few people who really master this skill, and since the Tang Dynasty, each generation of masters who are really proficient in the calculation of the eight pillars adds up to only a handful of them.

Besides, he doesn't like divination, although he is also a fatalist, believing that the fate line and cause and effect line of all people in this world have been formed at the beginning of birth, but they are not unchangeable, and many things and even many unexpected things will touch the fate line and the cause and effect line, so that these two systems will change slightly.

A subtle change in a system is almost a complete change for a person, and it can also be a earth-shaking change for an era.

This is also known as the butterfly effect, and the most common explanation is that a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, with an occasional flap of its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later.

If nothing can be changed, everything and everyone must follow the trajectory of fate, then there is no meaning in the existence of people, there is no need to think about anything, or even do nothing, and the whole world is like a small boat drifting with the tide on the sea of space.

Besides, I don't like to be framed by fate, so I never predict the fate of myself and the people around me, and do everything according to instinct and according to the truth I perceive, which is also the essence of science.

This time there was a huge danger for the Cypriot laymen, and the entire mission could be wiped out, but he did not try to calculate, what he did was to ask the Salt Gang to go all out to ensure the establishment of a safe passage.

Other than that, everything is left to fate.

After coming out of the Yangzhou Hall where Zhuo Maolin lived, he took a car to the Dajiaochang.

Zhou Dingcheng and Zhao Yang also came here today to wait for him, which he made arrangements.

Under the huge stands, 10,000 people were already standing in line, their armor was bright, everyone was holding a spear, and white light shot straight into the sky.

Moreover, after boarding the stands, he looked at the 10,000 people, who were the 10,000 cavalry he had carefully trained, and they were all ready to be pulled out this time.

"Your Excellency has arrived!" Ji Chang shouted.

"See your Excellency." 10,000 people shouted in unison, touched the ground on one knee, and saluted.

The voices of 10,000 people were mixed together, enough to shake one side, and the sand on the ground shook into the air.

Besides, with a wave of his hand, everyone stood up.

At this time, on the periphery, those soldiers who were not selected also followed the salute, and their faces showed disappointed expressions, what a good opportunity to go deep into the desert outside the Saiwai this time, but unfortunately they missed it.

Besides, looking at the crowd of black oppression, he said loudly: "This time, Lord Ben was ordered to send an envoy to the outside of the Saiwai, negotiation is the top priority, and in addition, the task of protecting the merchant group is also to be carried out, and you are the candidate to protect the merchant group." This mission has a certain degree of danger, and the desert outside the Saiwai is not my Ming realm after all. Therefore, if you are reluctant to go due to your small family or other reasons, you will immediately propose it and withdraw from this mission. Has anyone quit? ”

The people below look at me, I look at you, and then collectively shake their heads to indicate that they will not quit.

Zhao Yang slandered on the side: You kid is too insidious, who dares to withdraw at this time, if you really want to quit, even if you don't get beheaded, at least you have to be expelled from the army.

Zhou Dingcheng also felt a little surprised, and there is no need to say this, what do soldiers do, they are ready to go to the battlefield, of course, there will be sacrifices on the battlefield, they will die, everyone may not be able to come back when they go to the battlefield, but who dares to say that there is danger and refuse to go to the battlefield, isn't it purely uncomfortable.

Not to mention refusal, if you don't get the order to retreat on the battlefield, those who retreat without permission may be beheaded.

"None? Well, it's good, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, and now is the time to use you. I won't talk about the specific tasks, you go out this time under the command of Sun Hu, and Zhou Senjun will also go with you, everything will obey the dispatch of Zhou's Senjun, and those who disobey the order will be killed on the spot. Besides, he said murderously.

These 10,000 people felt a cool breeze on their necks when they heard the killing order, but they still said loudly: "Follow your lord's order." ”

"In addition, in the execution of the task, no one is allowed to ask any questions, everyone can only obey the order, not question, and must not shirk or refuse the order in disguise for various reasons. Moreover, another order was issued.

This time, the 10,000 people below didn't even make a sound of panting, and fear appeared on their faces. Besides, the adult played the real thing.

In addition to the expulsion of more than 100 students who shouted for mutiny, he has not really hung military law on the heads of the students, but this time he directly put the saber on the neck of everyone who performed the task.

Moreover, he continued: "In this mission, everyone can only know their own tasks, and they are not allowed to inquire about other people's tasks. ”

This third killing order, the 10,000 people below seem to understand, but they don't seem to understand, isn't it just to go out to protect the merchant group, why is everyone's task different? What does that mean?

Don't talk about them, even Zhao Yang is confused.

Only Zhou Dingcheng and Sun Hu knew the meaning of this, and they had already explained their initial ideas to them.

This third order was actually issued for the 3,000 people to be selected, of course, it was also for everyone, he was worried that many of these people were fellow villagers and brothers, and the task would be leaked while chatting with each other, who knows if there will be spies among them? Not much, as long as there is a spy, the entire mission will be exposed, and the entire mission plus these three thousand people will have to die in the desert.

Moreover, after announcing the order, he walked down the stands, and Ji Chang announced the disbandment of all employees.

Besides, sitting in the car, carefully thinking about the possible hidden dangers in every detail, his first step plan is a bit big, how to keep it secret for 3,000 people is really a headache, although they will only receive orders before performing tasks outside the plug, but the difficulty of secrecy work is still quite large.

The most feared things are often the most likely to happen. Every minute after the task is assigned, it is possible to leak out, once someone knows about a task, they will associate it with other tasks, it's like playing chess, you make a move, others will anticipate your next move.

Besides, what we are doing now is like building a building, if the foundation is sand, as soon as a cornerstone is pulled out, the building will immediately topple over.

He thought of the people who were waiting outside Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's mansions, many of whom were seeking the ambassador's errand for this negotiation, and he really wanted to go to these people, kneel down and kowtow three times, and then offer their begging envoys with their hands.

What are these people robbing, don't you know that this errand is to go out and give the Tatars a head?

Of course, he didn't know that the proton sent by the Tatar side was His Royal Highness the most honorable little prince on the steppe, and even if he knew, he would not feel much at ease, but the king of Alta had the help of Zhao Quan, who had a wide range of followers in the interior, and had strongholds and lurkers who had been operating all over the country for many years, as well as powerful families who should cooperate with each other, which could completely guarantee the safety of the Tatar mission.

What did you do when you went to the outside of the plug? I'm afraid there is not even a tenth of the safety factor of the Tatar mission.

Once the negotiations break down, even the ordinary herdsmen on the grassland will happily grab their heads to receive the merit.

Moreover, the biggest trump card in his hand now is not the selected three thousand elites, but Zhuo Maolin, the leader of the Salt Gang, and the entire secret organization of the Salt Gang in his hands.

Are these enough?

Of course, these are not enough, we can only deal with the most basic predicament, and if you want to be foolproof, you need to prepare a few more hands.

"My lord, these people are all going to protect the merchant group, who will protect you then?" Ji Chang, who was riding on a horse and guarding the side of the carriage tightly, muttered quietly.

He didn't dare to ask what was going on, but he didn't feel good in his heart. Could it be that the adults want to divert the tiger away from the mountain and let these 10,000 people attract the attention and firepower of the Tatars? Adults don't seem to be like that.

Besides, he doesn't have a scary face, but with power in his hands, he has invisible dignity and prestige, and now he has the power to kill and seize more than 20,000 lives in his hands.
