Chapter 173: Traces of the Wolf Clan
The white clouds floated leisurely in the sky, and the grass swayed in the wind, and there was no sound except for the wind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Cheering and running to the tribe, he quietly looked at everything in front of him, there was no figure in this Xianbei tribe, and there was no shepherd who came enthusiastically, and of course there would be no fragrant and mellow mare's milk wine.
"It's no one."
"It's no one."
The men of the caravan searched through the tents over and over again, their faces full of disappointment, but even so, they kept going, hoping to find out from the tents that even one figure was taller than what was going on.
Peng Xian opened the curtain of a tent with a calm face and walked in, it was scattered, clothes and accessories were scattered all over the place, and countless footprints were scattered inside, obviously the owner of this tent was very anxious when he left.
There are even horseshoe prints scattered around the tent.
Apparently they had already left here.
In the night, they raised a bonfire, and the caravan sat together, they were depressed, and the Xianbei people who had lived here did not know where they had gone, and occasionally there was a mixture of noise, scolding, and scolding, but no one had made a single suggestion that would be helpful to the present.
"Be quiet, everyone, be quiet." Durin said loudly, suppressing the voices for a moment.
After everyone calmed down, Du Lin looked at Peng Xian on the side.
"Gang Leader Peng, you say?"
"Yes, listen to the head of the Peng gang."
Those people all looked at Peng Xian, who was sitting silently on the side, Peng Xian was the person who traveled to and from Shuobei the most among them, and no one knew more about experience than him, and this time the leaders of these caravans were all counting on him.
"Will they move somewhere else?"
Someone asked.
"No, it won't." Peng Xian denied, "I know the leader of this Xianbei tribe, we agreed on the approximate time of the next delivery when we made the last delivery, they will not easily break their promises, and the water and grass here are not bad, it is winter and they have no reason to move to the rest of the place, unless the leader is crazy, they will think about migrating at this time." ā
"They didn't go on their own, but someone told them to go, and they were forced to do nothing." Peng Xian had almost guessed it.
"They were attacked." A calm voice exploded through the crowd, and everyone turned around to find the strange man in the caravan.
"Attack, even if it is an attack, then there is no trace of a fight in the entire camp, how can this be an attack."
"This shows even more that the enemy is strong, only a strong force can bring these thousands of tribes to their knees, the horseshoe prints in the camp and the panic when they left, all show this, those horseshoe prints are the best proof, judging from the depth of the horseshoe prints, at least the weight of a cavalry equipment, if I am not mistaken, there is only one tribe in this grassland that has such strength, I think the head of the Peng gang should have known it a long time ago."
"But to make a large tribe of thousands of people surrender, then it must also cost thousands or even tens of thousands of riders, where to find such a tribe."
"The Hu clan, also known as the wolf clan." Durin shuddered.
The people in the caravan also looked panicked, the wolf clan is the most aggressive tribe on the grassland, especially recently, the wolf clan has unscrupulously attacked the many tribes on the grassland and annexed them.
The southern invasion of the Hu people has long been an indisputable fact, how could they, the merchants, not know that they wanted to take advantage of this time to make a few more trips, but what they didn't expect was that the speed of the Hu people's southern invasion was far faster than they expected.
But that person was just an outsider, how could they believe it, and at this time, looking at Peng Xian nodding, they knew that it was true.
Peng Xian was also helpless, he didn't plan to tell the people in the caravan the news, not because he was selfish, but because he had long known how much trouble this news would cause, and even the entire caravan might fall apart because of this, but he was forced out, and he was helpless.
Now there are only two options left in front of everyone: one is to return the way they came, but then they are bound to lose a lot, and the other is to go to the steppe to find the rest of the tribes to seek a trade.
"The other tribes, the grassland is so big, where can we find the others."
"Yes! The grassland is so big, and we are not familiar with the terrain here, the grassland is so big, is there any obvious distinguish, if we get lost, I am afraid that we don't need to look for the rest of the tribes, we will starve to death on this grassland. ā
"Otherwise, we will go to the Hu clan to lower the price, and we may be able to sell these goods that we have hoarded."
"Looking for the Hu clan, Du boy, you are crazy, maybe when we find it, not only will the goods be robbed by them, but I'm afraid we will also have our heads cut off."
Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, among these people, some people put all their net worth into the caravan, and they relied on this time to be able to make a lot of money, if they were to give up it for them would be tantamount to cutting their flesh, and the gains and risks would always be difficult to balance in nature.
"I can't go back like this, no matter what, I have to sell this batch of goods."
"Typical guy who wants money and doesn't want to die, as long as people can earn back these things sooner or later."
There were pros and cons to the noisy crowd, but no one was convinced, the merchants pursued profits, and most of them persevered and continued to walk on the grassland, but in the end there was no result.
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
Du Lin didn't know when he came to Peng Xian's side.
"What do you say, Gang Leader Peng?"
Peng Xian stepped on the ground fiercely, "We will stay on the grassland for three days, and we will have to leave no matter what happens." ā
There was an atmosphere of loss in the camp all night, and no one tried to break it, not even Peng Xian, who had never encountered such a situation in all his years of walking in Shuobei.
He got up and walked towards the strange man's place.
"You all understand the situation, if you have your own ideas, if you want to leave this caravan, Peng will not stop you, but I will not return your commission money."
"Peng Bangtou laughed, it just so happened that we didn't plan to leave in the next few days."
"Is that so? That's good, if it's okay, I'll go first. ā
"Please." The man waved his hand.
Peng Xian returned to his tent and thought about the events of the day, he felt more and more that these two strange men were strange, but now he was helpless, and now he could only wait quietly.
"Eternal Heaven bless." Peng Xian prayed silently in his heart.
