Fortunately, in the end, the old woman and her party did not leave the scout's sight, stumbling all the way, Liu He still led the troops to the destination.

It's just that Liu He suddenly had a feeling that the old woman seemed to know that someone was following behind and deliberately slowed down, and every time she was about to pull away, the old woman would order to rest in place, as if she was waiting for Liu He.

Liu He wanted to go forward and ask, but he was afraid of causing trouble to the old woman, so he finally held back.

After all, he is here to quell the chaos this time, in case the queen of southern Xinjiang refuses to cooperate, there will be a big war between the two sides, and the old woman will be charged with leading the way for the enemy immediately, Liu He doesn't want to see the kind old woman fall into danger because of himself.

After two days of torture, although he was a little embarrassed, Liu He still came to the meeting place with an army of 10,000.

For people who have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, southern Xinjiang has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery, because in this land known as the barren land, there are too many things that the Central Plains people can't understand and can't explain.

This gathering of various ministries in southern Xinjiang surprised Liu He, the original people.

In order not to be discovered, Liu He ordered the camp to be stationed in a hidden place ten miles away from the meeting place, and at the same time sent scouts to ambush around the camp to avoid being discovered by the southern Xinjiangese.

But after receiving the scout's report, Liu He found out that he was obviously overthinking by doing this.

Those people in southern Xinjiang seemed to have forgotten that a Central Plains army had penetrated deep into southern Xinjiang, and there was no sentry post at all, but only a few lookout points symbolically set up on the periphery of the stronghold, unless Liu He led the army to directly kill their stronghold, otherwise it was impossible to be discovered at all.

According to the scout's observations, the old woman was the last of the chiefs to arrive at the meeting place, and the other tribes seemed to have been there for many days, and the chiefs of the tribes gathered together to sit on the floor in the open air, and drank and had fun every day, and did not discuss anything serious.

Liu He smiled after listening to the scout's report, the behavior of these southern Xinjiang clan leaders was not beyond his expectations, this kind of unrestrained style may be a little too casual in the eyes of authentic Central Plains people, but it is normal in the eyes of future generations like Liu He.

People should be happy in time to live, and the reason why the scouts make a fuss is just pedantic.

Now that all the people have arrived, Liu He believes that the queen of southern Xinjiang will also appear soon, Liu He sent the best group of scouts, once the queen of southern Xinjiang is found, he will come back immediately to report.

Liu He himself took off his military uniform, changed into a simple and simple clothes, and sat in the big tent of the Chinese army waiting for a response.

He had already calculated in his heart that as soon as he received the news of the scout, he would immediately set off to see for himself what the queen of the southern frontier who was worshiped as a god was like.

But waiting and waiting, and didn't wait for the news of the scout, Liu He, who was sitting in the tent early in the morning and waiting, had already waited until sunset.

He finally couldn't sit still, got up and walked to the door, opened the curtain and looked at the sky outside, and couldn't help but be a little impatient.

A hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the tent, Liu He let out a sigh of relief, and his face was stiff for a whole day, and he finally had a little smile.

But after seeing the scout's face, Liu He immediately smiled.

The scout's face was covered in blood, apparently he had just fought a big battle.

What made Liu He even more worried was that he sent out the best team of scouts in the army, with a total of five people, but only one came back.

"Sir, it's not blood on my face, it's ......" The scout seemed to see Liu He's thoughts, and explained a word, but he looked a little embarrassed.

Zhong Lixun walked to the scout's side, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "This is not blood, it is a dye unique to Southern Xinjiang. ”

When the scout heard this, he lowered his head deeply, obviously acquiescing.

Liu He was a little unimpressed at first, but he was just smeared with some dye on his face, what was the big deal, but when he saw the scout's face full of shame and Zhong Lixun's heavy expression, he knew that it was not as simple as he thought.

"Once the dye sticks to the body, it's very difficult to wash off." Zhongli pondered for a long time, and finally told the truth.

Liu He saw it very clearly from the side, and when Zhong Lixun said this, he inadvertently glanced at the scout.

Liu He suddenly understood, this dye is not difficult to wash off, but it can't be washed off at all, the reason why Zhong Lixun said this is just that he doesn't want to embarrass that scout too much.

Smeared the dye that could not be washed off on people's faces, except for the humiliation, it was difficult for Liu He to come up with any other explanation, plus the four people who went with him were all gone, Liu He immediately guessed a few points.

"All five of you were caught?" Liu He still felt a little unbelievable, after all, this team of scouts had experienced a hundred battles, even in the Tianji Battalion, they were all among the best figures.

If one of the five people was caught by mistake, it can still be said, as the so-called often walking by the river without getting wet shoes, not to mention that it is still in this strange southern Xinjiang place, but five people were arrested at the same time, it is a little unspeakable, Liu He felt that there must be something strange in this.

Liu He thought for a while and asked, "Does the other party have a master?" ”

The scout bit his lips and seemed to have made up his mind, but his voice was still very low, and he whispered, "It's not a master, it's a dog." ”

Liu He was puzzled, he didn't believe that just a few dogs could make these top spies so embarrassed.

Could it be that there is something special about this dog in southern Xinjiang?

As soon as Liu He was about to inquire carefully, he saw Pang Tong come forward and said calmly: "That's not a dog, it's a wolf." ”

"Wolves?" Liu He's face was shocked, and he even suspected that he had misheard.

As we all know, wolves are animals that cannot be tamed.

No one can say the truth, but the facts are in front of you, there are tigers and lions in the circus, but they have never seen wolves.

Even a professional animal trainer cannot guarantee that he will not be attacked by his own domesticated wolves, and the so-called wild and untamable nature is most appropriate for wolves.

In Liu He's cognition, it is impossible for wolves to obediently obey humans, so even if this kind of remark comes from the mouth of a prodigy like Pang Tong, Liu He still feels very ridiculous.

In the face of Liu He's undisguised questioning, Pang Tong did not explain much, but walked directly to the scout and asked, "Were you ...... by a group of wolves at that time That is what you call a dog, which is instantly surrounded in the middle and difficult to get out? ”

The scout nodded repeatedly, "Yes! That's how it was at the time, we had never seen such a fast, well-trained hound, before they had time to react, there was no way out. ”
