Chapter 272: Attack
This time, Chen Zheng and their team disguised themselves as caravans, and in order to be perfect, they never used the title of adult or anything like that when they communicated, they just wanted to be called Mr. or Miss. Since you want to make a disguise, you have to make a full set, for this reason, Zhang Shilong also specially bought some herbs and porcelain that are special products of Beiyan, etc., and put them in the car to carry them, and if you can meet a small tribe of about 100 people on the road, they will stop and trade, and the depth of the play almost makes Chen Zheng think that they really came to the grassland to trade.
It is only when it comes to this kind of rest that the big guy will relax a little, talk and laugh, as if the fatigue of rushing has decreased a lot.
After resting for a while, after having replenished enough water, the group set off again, and continued in the direction of the barge horse department according to the map and the help of the guide.
Just after Chen Zheng and the others left. In about half an hour, a cavalry team of about 100 people came to the water source. Each of them rode a tall horse, wearing a thick leather armor made of animal skin, and a thin layer of iron was inlaid on the outside, and there were longbows and arrow feathers on the side, of course, the most grassland characteristics of melee weapons, scimitars, but the leader of the one, on both sides of the horse hung a pair of wolf and sheep sticks, which were actually made of fine iron, and the iron spikes on it reflected a little cold under the sunlight, and it was estimated that a stick would be dead.
Soon two cavalrymen reconnoitred from the vicinity of the water source: "My lord, there was a convoy of dozens of people passing by here just now, they stopped here, and they also replenished their water, and we have found a signal, it should be the people we are looking for." ”
The sturdy man at the head nodded, waved them down, turned and immediately came to the middle of the horse team.
At this time, you can see a strange figure in a black robe behind the steppe cavalry, holding a wooden cane in his hand, and on the head of the staff is an unknown beast bone, painted with colorful runes, it is actually a wizard of the grassland tribe.
"Lord Wizard, the traces of those Northern Yan people have been found, are we going to pursue them now?" The cavalry commander has a great respect for wizards.
A hoarse voice came, "Don't worry, hehe, their convoy can't be as fast as our horses, let the warriors not be so anxious, save their physical strength, and have a good time with them, hunting the Northern Yan people on the grassland is a difficult entertainment to experience." By the way, go tell our people to find out what the Beiyan people are bringing with them? ”
"Yes, Wizard." The cavalry commander's face also showed a bloodthirsty smile, and the eyes of the surrounding steppe cavalry were also full of excitement, as if the hunter had seen his prey.
Chen Zheng and their luck may not be good, they didn't encounter a small tribe wandering before they came tonight, so they could only be stationed in the wild, to be honest, the tent produced by Beiyan is really not as warm as the sheepskin tent on the grassland.
The bright moon hangs high, and you can faintly hear the sound of insects from the outside world.
At this time, the convoy stopped, set up tents, tied the horses, put enough fodder on them, and sprinkled the periphery of the camp with deworming powder, otherwise there would be an unexpected surprise when they woke up in the middle of the night.
Dinner, of course, is the grassland characteristic mutton soup and white cakes, every time I eat it, I have a different feeling. After eating and drinking, everyone went straight to sleep to rest, there was nothing to entertain in this place, of course, shift vigils were indispensable.
It's just that for such a thing, there is no need for Chen Zheng and Zhang Shilong, high-level martial artists like them, those swordsmen of the Luck Realm are completely enough.
Chen Zheng entered the tent, the first time into the system space, to carry out their own farming, this time, Chen Zheng's planting skills can be upgraded to the third level, although the middle is still wheat, but the system said, the fourth level will unlock new crops, increase the field, after seeing the magical effect of the system's wheat, Chen Zheng is even more concerned.
Of course, you can also communicate with Peach Blossom and others through the Jianghu Inn, what is going on in Jianzhou City or Beiping City, and those knights of their own can notify themselves through the inn, which makes Chen Zheng feel that this upgrade of the system is really convenient and powerful.
Of course, don't forget to do your daily activity is to look at the fat egg. Chen Zheng also found that the fat egg seemed to be slowly absorbing something in the air to grow, although it was an egg, but it was very spiritual, sometimes Chen Zheng stroked the eggshell outside, and the fat would make a little reaction, and it really had a little bit of a pet meaning. However, the system made it clear that if you want to break out of the shell, you still need Chen Zheng to do tasks to obtain merit points. And this trip to the grassland is a task given to Chen Zheng by the system, which coincides with Yan Xuelan's words.
Chen Zheng had just exited the system space and was about to fall asleep, after all, sleeping outside or outside could not let people discover the secrets of the system space, when he heard a miserable scream: "Ah! ”
Chen Zheng woke up suddenly, and his hand immediately touched the handle of the greedy knife. Is this something wrong?
When Chen Zheng walked out of the tent, he found that the torches were bright, and the sleeping people had been awakened.
"What's going on?" Zhang Shilong also slowly walked out of the tent, dressed neatly, and now his sleepclothes are not untied, retaining the fine tradition of staying overnight in the army.
Naturally, some of his swordsmen came to report: "Mr. Zhang, something happened." ”
When Zhang Shilong and Chen Zheng came to the place of the incident, they found that Mu Ziyi and the old man Li were all there, but the old man Li still looked decadent, obviously the old man had not slept comfortably, and Hanamichi was often impatient, and his beauty sleep was disturbed, and he was more or less angry and didn't want to talk.
And Mu Ziyi had already come to the deceased's side to check the wound.
The dead man was a knifeman, one of the people who had been left to keep vigil, and the neck of the deceased had obvious marks cut with a sharp weapon, cutting his throat, and blood was gurgling out of it.
As for the other person who was with him missing, just as the group suspected him, someone soon found a second body in the camp, which was another person on the night watch.
