It was Alker who spoke.

There was no smile on Lao Luo's face, Alke would not rush to disturb him, there must be something bad about it. He turned his head and asked, "What's the matter, Alck?" You elaborate. ”

"The military camp near Mingecyaur has recently sent about two hundred cavalry to approach this side, and is currently staying in Sabirabad, maybe Bahamir is trying to save the green-eyed Samtz, Helton told me that the timber and pig iron sent in recently are decreasing." Alke said in a calm tone, with the cavalry that followed Lao Luo for a long time, with only a few hundred people, he no longer paid attention to it.

"Well, is there any other news?" Mingaicaur is about 200 kilometers away from the Tang camp, while Sabirabad is too close, only less than 80 kilometers in a straight line, that is to say, the other party is approaching, maybe it is a feint, maybe it is a preparation before the attack, Lao Luo did not make a decision in a hurry.

"I heard from the Armenians who delivered to the United Workshop that the western principality of Taw-Kralzhety was preparing for a spring offensive to capture the main cities of the two principalities of Kakhedia and Eledia, so a lot of pig iron and timber were needed. I suspect that perhaps this is why Bahamir is ready to tear up the agreement and rescue his son. ”

"Bahamir, a fool, doesn't he know that if he can't save his own son, he will kill his own son because he provokes me?"

"Master, the current development of the Bagrat family is just right, especially Bagrat III has recruited a lot of mountain warriors and Armenians, in my opinion, Bagamir will not put more than 100 of us in his eyes, even the Tang battalion, in his eyes, the Tang battalion is only a craftsman battalion after all, not a brave warrior."

"You're right, Alck, a lot of things still need fists to talk about in the end." Lao Luo confirmed Alke's guess, but was suddenly stunned, "But since that guy Bahamir can do this position as a palace secretary, he will definitely not be a fool, maybe the cavalry of two hundred people is just used to attract our attention, and the troops who really want to save his son are hidden in the shadows." ”

"You're right, master, I was negligent." Alker was shocked and said solemnly.

"In this way, you go to Li Xuan and recruit some scouts from the Tang Battalion, after all, they are more familiar with the situation here." Lao Luo paused for a moment and then said: "The purpose is to search for all suspicious people within twenty miles of the vicinity, including paying attention to the movements of the Sylvan royal family, and it is up to you to drive or kill them, if you can't solve it, tell me directly." ”

Three days after Lao Luo's order was passed down, Ark took his twelve men and more than 200 scouts from the Tang Battalion mobilized by Li Xuan to explore all the unstable locations in the surrounding area, and sure enough, he found several other groups of Bahamir's subordinates, one of which was a few dozen people, and even carried poison and the like to make trouble in Lao Luo's camp, and the only way to lack was to buy the people inside Lao Luo's camp.

Hidden enemies are either killed or expelled, and there is no need to capture them.

No one knew that Lao Luo could cheat with his spiritual power, and there was nothing that could block the spiritual power that could detect the trivial matters of nearly a thousand meters around him like a radar. As long as Lao Luo walks around the camp frequently, he can detect the behavior of everyone in the camp, including the behavior of the green-eyed Samtz who is under house arrest sleeping and talking in his sleep.

The news that the Georgians were preparing to poison did not spread, but Lao Luo was caught on fire by this matter.

It seems that this Bahamir palace secretary is really not convinced, but there is no need to kill the other party, it is not interesting to provoke the attention of the Grand Duke Bagrat III who is seeking Kakhedia and Elidia, but he also needs to be taught some lessons, and by the way, he should also drag the back of the Tao-Klarzhety Principality, although there is no grudge against each other, but the news of the withdrawal of the Tang camp from here will definitely spread, according to the mentality of Bagrat III, he is about to eat the fat in his mouth, he will definitely not be reconciled.

The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers. This is a very simple truth, rather than these Georgians dragging the eastward march in the future, it is better to give trouble to the heroic lord of Bagrat III now, so that he can not be distracted.

As soon as he thought of it, Lao Luo directly called a few people in charge of the camp, and first asked Alke to report on the movements of the past few days, and by the way, he talked about the reaction of the Principality of Tao-Klarzheti and the response to the enemy in the shadows.

Lao Luo said: "I'm going to go to Kutaisi in the west, I don't need too much killing, but it's okay to disrupt the conquest of this Grand Duke of Bagrat III, what do you think?" ”

Several warriors who had been in the killing field for a long time looked at each other, or Sideknord's mind was more thoughtful, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the master to go alone, we all know that the master is powerful, but he still needs to rest, so he needs someone to help the master on duty or do some trivial things... There is a little doubt that once the news of the master's departure spreads, the local Tang camp may be in turmoil, according to the master's plan, the schedule of the eastward journey is very tight, will it be delayed......"

"Well, Sideck has a point, but my opinion is that we must find a way to hold back the Duchy of Taw-Klarıtzej and not let that Bagrat III's eyes turn to us, which will inevitably affect the future of the East, and I can only do this myself." It is necessary to explain these things to his subordinates, Lao Luo needs their attentive cooperation, "As for the problem of the spread of the news, don't worry, keep my tent guarded and prevent people from breaking in, and when someone asks, they will say that I am planning some things that will be needed in the future, as for the Tang camp, it is enough to inform the Li family and Du Lao, and the others are not worried...... Gonzas, Olki, Stan, Naga, Mnachi... What are your thoughts? ”

"Master, I'll go with you......" said Gonzas, who had always been brave and good at fighting.

"No, Gonzas, you have a more important task, guarding our camp, this is the foundation of the future, this matter is left to you......" Lao Luo turned his head and saw the eager eyes of the others, these guys are all happy when they hear the war, not at all the lonely appearance when they were in Athens at the beginning, as for Naga and Mnaqi, but this time they can't take the two of them with them, because their complexion is too eye-catching," Olki and Mnachi are in charge of recruit training, Stan also has to manage the craftsmen and receive the new materials with Helton, Nuralman you have to cover me in the camp, and usually stand by the edge of the tent to block everyone who comes to investigate, as for Nagar, you don't have to think about it, and work with Gonzhas to maintain our camp......"

"Yes......" Lao Luo got a weak answer from everyone.

He was not annoyed, and continued: "Alke chooses two clever warriors to come with me, preferably those who are familiar with the west and know the Georgian language...... In addition, I told Helton to be soft on Bahamir's procrastination, as if he could not make a decision, and when he was really embarrassed, he pushed the matter on me, saying that I was sorting out the chores behind closed doors, and that I was not seeing outsiders......"

"Yes, master, I'll pick someone first." The excited Alke slipped out of the smoke, he listened to a few people in Naga talk about fighting with Lao Luo, although the language communication between the two sides was not very good, but from the expressions of Naga, Mnaqi and Cui Shibalang when they spoke, he could feel the enjoyment of the battle.

Not bothering to pay attention to the resentful expressions of the rest of the soldiers, Lao Luo went straight to Li Ji to inform him of the temporary departure to the west, this kind of thing must always be done in person, and the relationship with the Li family is destined not to be the same as that of other Tang people's big families.

Li Ji never doubted Lao Luo's combat power, but after all, she was alone to deal with a large number of Georgians, and she still couldn't help but worry, but on the one hand, it was the matter of returning to the east, and on the other hand, the safety of the lover, and the fire girl's anger could only burn in the bottom of her heart. Fortunately, Lao Luo has already asked Du Ne to propose to the Li family as the old man, and this eldest girl can only let go of her immediate worries and turn to planning for the future.

Early in the morning of the second day of the meeting, Lao Luo set out with Alk and two Bulgarian warriors, and they changed into Armenian attire, three Arab horses each, turbans and hoods, and looked very much like ordinary Armenian small merchants.

Lately Armenian merchants dressed in this way have become common, and no one has noticed that the camp owners who are entrenched outside the Tang camp have quietly left the place.

Running for more than 100 miles, is the place where Alk reported that Bahamir was dazzling - Sabirabad.

"This is Sabirabad?" Lao Luo pointed to a small village in front of him with a horsewhip and asked, the place in the distance is under a gentle slope, and there are some farmland of the Sil Mortals next to it, and there is such a place name in later generations, but it is a small agricultural county town on the Mugan Plain, and now it seems that this place is obviously not a plain, but a hilly hill with low undulations.

"That's right, master, now this is the fief of Abilad the Hilvan Persian, but the population is very small, and most of them are mainly farming." Alc's answer was heard along with the sound of horses' hooves.

"It seems to be very calm," Lao Luo looked up at the sky, it was only two or three o'clock in the afternoon, "It seems that there is no need to worry about those guys, since you and Li Xuan's people have already slaughtered all the suspicious guys they have found, we will not stay here, and we don't need to go to Mingaichaur, we will go directly to Kutaisi." By the way, Alc, what do you know, where did Bagrat III build his palace? ”

"Back to the master, according to the Armenians, Bagrat III made Kutaisi his capital, and next to it there was a hill called Ukmeliona, where he built a monastery to curry favor with the Orthodox Church."

"Oh, do you mean to say that Bagrat III was not a pure believer?"

"Master, perhaps Bagrat III is preparing to become a believer in the Orthodox Church, but a king will not be a devout believer in any way, they are more concerned with authority and glory."

"Well, you are right, as the master of this land, the clergy and the kingship must be in conflict, and it is wise to separate the clergy from the king, as Constantine did, that is, they say, the soul belongs to God, and the body belongs to the king."

"You're right, master."

"Gonzhas they believe in Kratos, so Alc, who do you believe? Mars or Ares, the wolf god, or God? ”

"I don't know, but for now, you, master, are my faith."

"Oh, well, let me see how you live up to your faith, how about we go to Kutaisi and take the gold and all the riches of Bagat III, and help God to verify his piety?"

"As you wish, master!"

"Alright, Cooksey, Cliot... We walk, all the way west, rest in the evening, and the final goal is Kutaisi! ”
