In a house in Naturalization City, Ling Zhiyun, who had already walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned around slowly, looked at Mao Caigui, who was still on the kang, and said sincerely: "We have experienced a catastrophe together, so I have a word to tell you." ”

Mao Caigui raised his head when he heard the voice, his eyes full of doubt. Although they live in the same house, the two sides are constantly in conflict. Although it didn't get to the point of fighting, the relationship was definitely not good. At this time, Ling Zhiyun said this, which surprised him a little.

Thinking of this nightmarish experience, Mao Caigui's vigilance finally let go of a little, and without any more contempt, he nodded and said, "You say!" ”

"Although you have decided to go back and part ways with us, I would like to remind you that this place is like a paradise for ordinary people. Although you have a relative who is an official, you may not be able to live as well as you want. As long as you are upright, you will definitely be more comfortable and at ease than when you go back. ”

After Ling Zhiyun finished speaking seriously, he clasped his hands into fists and said, "Take care!" After that, without any hesitation, he turned around, stepped out of the threshold, and went to the square to report for duty.

Mao Caigui looked at the direction of the door in a daze, even if Ling Zhiyun had left, he had been looking at it like that. Thinking of what Ling Zhiyun said just now, he was speechless for a long time. It took a long time before he softly spit out two words: "Take care!" ”

At about the same time, somewhere in the eastern steppe, forty horsemen were riding westward. It can be seen that they are not in a hurry, the speed is not fast, from time to time they look up and then correct the direction.

When he stopped looking around again, a knight inside suddenly shouted and scolded: "You Han dogs, this is your territory, and there are no clues so far, is it against my Dajin secretly?" ”

This group of people. It was the team formed by Ao Bai and the others and the guards sent by Fan Yongdou to find clues to the horse thieves on the grassland.

It's just a pity that after the snow melted, it was almost the same as before it melted, and the traces of the carriage and horses had already been destroyed, and it was rare to say whether it was the horse thief you were looking for.

They have been searching the grassland for more than ten days. But not much. It was only confirmed that the horse thieves should have come from the west, so they slowly searched west.

"This lord, the villains usually go out of the customs, and they all go to Liaodong. This is coming west, in fact, the villains are not familiar with it! The captain of the nursing home said with a smile.

Ao Bai glanced at his subordinates and the captain of the nursing home, and his heart was also holding back the fire, and he immediately asked: "Then from here all the way to the west, is there a stronger force?" ”

"The villain is really ......," the captain of the nursing home just said that he didn't know. Suddenly remembering something, he immediately turned to look at a young man behind him and said, "Yun Xuan, you came from the west, you go back and forth to a few masters." ”

"Yes, Brother Li." Sun Yunxuan agreed, drove the horse forward slightly, and approached the front of Aobai. With no smile on his face, he said solemnly: "From here all the way to the west." There are four main forces. One is the Datong border army of the imperial court, and further away is the Yansui border army; the second is Lin Dan Khan of the Naturalization City; The third is the former king of Shunyi, and the fourth is the thieves in Shaanxi and Shanxi. ”

When Ao Bai heard that this person not only gave an answer, but also looked very organized, he immediately pointed with a horsewhip: "Then which force do you think it will be?" ”

"The border army cannot leave the garrison without the imperial decree. It seems unlikely. But it is also possible that the elite of the family members were quietly gathered, pretending to be horse thieves to loot supplies. ”

Brother Li, the leader of the guards, must have patted his thigh, yes, why didn't you think of this? The imperial court has always been in arrears. Let the nine-sided border army be as poor as ghosts, it is difficult to ensure that they are very dangerous if they do not leave, pretending to be horse thieves to loot so many supplies.

He was about to express his opinion, but when he saw Ao Bai looking at Yun Xuan with a blank face, he pressed what he thought in his heart and waited for the opportunity to express his position.

"Lin Dan Khan has a feud with Dajin and has strong strength, if two thousand elites are dispatched to secretly loot materials, it is also possible. As for why he didn't reveal his identity, the villain felt that he might be afraid of Dajin's revenge. ”

Listening to Sun Yunxuan talk about the second possibility, this Brother Li thought about it carefully, and he also felt that there was a great possibility. He also knew the scarcity of grassland materials, Lin Dan Khan was in a hurry to flee west, and there must not be many supplies, if he started to grab it, it seemed that it was not impossible.

Thinking about it like this, he hesitated a little, was it the border army of the imperial court or Lin Dan Khan pretending?

While he was thinking about it, Sun Yunxuan was analyzing the next one: "King Shunyi was driven away by Lin Dan Khan, but his strength still exists. He knew that Lin Dan Khan and Dajin had a feud, and if he ruled out his elite pretending to be horse thieves to loot supplies, turn around and blame Lin Dan Khan, and let Dajin clean up Lin Dan Khan, this possibility also existed. ”

When Brother Li heard this, his brain was a little messed up, three possibilities?

"In addition, it is also possible that the thieves in the customs can jump to the grassland, and if they know that there are supplies here in Zhangjiakou, it is also possible to come and loot. Because they are thieves themselves, as long as they come over are elites, they should be able to do this. ”

Brother Li listened, secretly breaking his four fingers, thinking about this, thinking about that, he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Originally, it was quiet now, and it was a good time to interject, but he hesitated and didn't say anything.

Sun Yunxuan also seemed to hesitate, and then continued: "These forces are all possible, and it is really difficult to distinguish between the villains. ”

After listening to this, the corners of his mouth cracked, revealing a sneer of disdain. He pointed at Sun Yunxuan with his horsewhip again and said, "You are just better than them." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the nursing home of nearly thirty people, and said disdainfully: "This answer is obvious, you can know it without thinking about it, but you can't think of a clue one by one!" ”

"Master, the villains are stupid, that's as good as the master's wisdom and martial arts!" When Brother Li heard this, he immediately patted his ass.

Ao Bai seemed to be a little disdainful of his sycophants, and said confidently: "My Dajin invaded the land of Gyeonggi, how dare the Ming border army disobey the king and leave his own elite to pretend to be horse thieves." Absurd! ”

As he spoke, Brother Li and the others nodded again and again with a look of sudden realization. And Sun Yunxuan blushed, as if he was ashamed that he hadn't thought of this.

"As for the Shunyi king, they can be driven out of Naturalization City by Lin Dan Khan, how can they bypass Lin Dan Khan twice and run so far to the east to pretend to be horse thieves? Besides, if they want to take revenge on Lin Dan Khan, they can directly send an envoy to my Dajin. I think that my Dajin country is powerful and the lord of the grassland, how can I not be the master of them! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Ye is right, the Dajin Kingdom is famous all over the world, and they should know this." Brother Li listened and echoed.

"As for those thieves, hmph, it's not that you look down on them......" Ao Bai was talking, when he was suddenly interrupted by Sun Yunxuan, only to hear him say: "There is a situation over there!" (To be continued.) )
