The appearance of the two brothers of the Murong clan was unexpected by Shi Min, which means that the Xianbei and the Huns have reached an agreement, so the previous three-legged situation may temporarily turn into a one-on-one confrontation, and such a situation is obviously unfavorable to the Zhao State.

However, due to Mu Du's presence, Shi Min did not express any opinion on this matter, so he did not answer Liu Yuanzhi's question. Liu Yuanzhi saw that Shi Min ignored his question, and seemed to understand, so he didn't ask any more.

"Now that the situation is all clear, the Huns entered the border of Hexi, just to support Sang Duo as the leader! This also confirms my previous suspicion that it is too dangerous to take the road of Lao Yashan Mountain! A detour to the south is a safe arrangement! Shi Min said, pointing to the route on the map.

"Does the Mudu leader have any opinions?" Liu Yuanzhi asked.

Although being ordered by a fledgling kid made Mu Du very unhappy in his heart, but considering his position as the leader, Mu Du could only endure it, so he nodded and agreed.

"Good! Case! Pass the order down, bury the pot and cook immediately, and set off at the right time! ”

"Good! I'll tell you to go down at once! Liu Yuanzhi got up and said.

"Leader of Mudu, please prepare it too! In the next few days, we will have to eat and sleep in the open! Shi Min said.

Mu Du stood up, glanced at Shi Min, turned around and walked out.

Seeing that Mu Du was gone, Shi Min stopped Liu Yuanzhi: "Lord Liu, stay!" ”

"What else does Childe command?"

"Just about the news about the two brothers of the Murong family, your lord needs to send someone back immediately to report to Your Majesty!" Shi Min said to Liu Yuanzhi with a stern expression: "This matter is not trivial, the Xiongnu and Xianbei are in cahoots, and Zhao has to guard against it!" ”

Liu Yuanzhi nodded and said, "I also think that this matter should be reported to Your Majesty, and I was about to discuss this matter with Gongzi, but Gongzi said it first." ”

"Since that's the case, then bother Lord Liu to send someone back to Yecheng immediately!"

"Good! I'll arrange for someone to go back! ”

When night fell, the wolf riders were all ready to go, and Liu Yuanzhi saw that everyone tied the horses' hooves with strips of cloth, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked, "Master Min, what is this for?" ”

Shi Min stepped on his Zhulong horse, pulled the reins, and said: "We march at night, what we want is to be unaware, four or five hundred people, say no more, say a lot less, the sound of horses' hooves may alarm the Qiang people, tie the strips of cloth, when the war horse runs, the sound of horses' hooves will become smaller, at least reduce the probability of being discovered by the Qiang people." ”

"Childe is thoughtful!" Liu Yuanzhi nodded, and asked again, "Then what's the matter with the branch in their hands?" ”

"Have you ever heard of it?" Shi Min asked.

"I've heard ...... you"

Shi Min didn't want to explain too much, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and said to Shi Min and Mu Du: "Two! It's almost time! Let's go! ”

Mu Du and Liu Yuanzhi nodded, and they also stepped on the war horse.

For several days, the men and horses sent out by Sandor did not find out Mudu's whereabouts, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did this timid and incompetent brother already know his plan and was too scared to come back?

If Mu didn't return to Hexi, Sang Duo's heart would probably be restless all the time, and he was worried that Mu Du would suddenly appear in front of him one day. Although he was determined to seize power, if he really wanted to kill Mudu with his own hands, he would still be a little panicked. Rather than this, he hoped that Mudu would come back as soon as possible, and then die at the hands of his subordinates on the way back to Hexi, at least as long as Mudu died, he could sit back and relax as his leader, and perhaps hold Lady Rouge in his arms.

Early in the morning, as soon as Sandor stepped out of the tent, a report was reported: "Chief! Exploring the Malay Newspaper Ahead! Discover their whereabouts! ”

Sang Duo was overjoyed and asked, "Really?" Where is it! ”

According to the news from Tanma, there are about 300 people in this group, and the banner is the banner of Zhao Guo...... That's what sent the wood back! The man almost said the wrong thing, and quickly changed his words.

"Have you ever seen Mudu?" Sandor asked.

The man shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it!" However, this group of men and horses will set up camp at sunset, no longer march, and it is estimated that they will walk dozens of miles a day. At night they just sent a few people to patrol the night watch, and there seemed to be no problems! ”

Sang Duo was still a little uneasy in his heart, and commanded: "At this rate, it will take seven or eight days for them to reach Lao Ya Mountain, and then they will explore!" Report any situation immediately! ”

"Yes!"

Hearing that the people of Zhao Guoren had been discovered, Sang Duo was half relieved, but out of prudence, he was still a little uneasy, because at this critical moment, he didn't want to make any mistakes.

Ever since Sandora came, Lady Rouge had been worried every day, and she had been restless at night, and she had hoped that Mudu would return as soon as possible, but she had waited for many days, but there was no news. At this time, Mrs. Rouge's heart also began to doubt, will her man really come back? She wasn't sure.

With the pressure of Sang Duo on various important figures within the Qiang tribe, more and more people either chose to support Sang Duo or choose to remain silent, the only one who did not succumb was Mrs. Rouge's brother, but unfortunately in his hands, there were only a little soldiers and horses of less than 10,000 people, and it was really difficult to speak alone.

Shi Min and the others, under the leadership of Mu Du, bypassed all the places that could be found, ran south for several days, day and night, traveled thousands of miles, and did not meet a single Qiang person, which also made Shi Min secretly relieved.

The worst is naturally Liu Yuanzhi, he is a civil official, he has never traveled as long as now, after a few days, Liu Yuanzhi deeply felt that his whole body skeleton was scattered, so every day when it was almost dawn, Liu Yuanzhi was the first to get off the horse to rest, and then slept for most of the day, ignoring everything.

"Leader of Mudu! We're running out of time! It's been three full days since we set off! According to my estimates, it will only take eight or nine days for another team of people to reach Lao Yashan, and we must rush to Hexi before then! Otherwise, if we let Sandor know that that the group was just a decoy, we would be in trouble! Shi Min lay in the grass nest and said to Mu Du on the side.

Mu didn't babble anything, but pointed to Shi Min's arms, and then reached out to beg for it.

After a few days of getting along, Shi Min was already able to roughly understand what Mudu meant, so he took out the map in his arms and threw it to Mudu.

Mu Du took the map, spread it on the ground, looked at it carefully, and looked up at the surrounding terrain from time to time, then pointed, babbling with his mouth open.

"Where are we now?" Shi Min leaned over, leaned forward and glanced at the map, and then asked.

Mu Du nodded, and then looked at Shi Min.

Shi Min looked at the map while calculating the distance and time in his heart, and then looked up and asked, "According to your estimate, how many days will it take at most?" ”

Mu Du closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and stretched out three fingers towards Shi Min.

"Three more days?" Shi Min asked in some surprise.

Mu Du nodded again.

At this time, Liu Yuanzhi rubbed his eyes and came over, and said: "Childe, I just heard you in a daze, that team of men and horses will take at least eight or nine days to reach Lao Ya Mountain, we can rush to Hexi before then, what are you worried about?" ”

Shi Min waved his hand and said, "That team of centaurs is just used to attract Sang Duo's attention, maybe before they reach Old Crow Mountain, they will be recognized by Sang Duo's people!" Then Sang Duo will naturally understand that there must be someone who cultivates the plank road in the open and dark! At that time, it will be more difficult for us to succeed! ”

Liu Yuanzhi shuddered for a moment, immediately sat down, and asked, "Then what should I do?" Leader of Mudu, is there any other way? ”

Mu Du shook his head helplessly, indicating that there was no other way.

Shi Min took the map back into his arms, looked at the two solemnly, and said, "Since that's the case!" Then we'll have to resign ourselves to fate! ”
