Chapter 156: The Missing Caravan

"Don't look for it, if you've been here three months ago, you'll probably have an impression. However, if it's been nearly three months, then don't ask. Because there haven't been any people of your size in town in the past three months. The person you are looking for has either been diverted elsewhere or ...... I met a horse bandit halfway. ”

Cheng Siyi naturally didn't want to believe that his parents would encounter horse bandits, so he asked reluctantly: "If the business travel is rerouted back to Chang'an, how will it generally go?" ”

"If you don't enter the Phoenix Valley, you can also find a way back to Chang'an if you go southeast along the desert, but the desert road is difficult to walk, and it takes hundreds of miles more than this side. In the past, because of the harsh desert climate, few visitors would walk like that. But lately it's been harder. ”

This time Cheng Siyi is completely in trouble!

The main purpose of this trip is to find people, how to find them in this situation?

Bai Su patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and chatted with Tie Rong again.

"No merchant has ever entered the town, and it is not clear that they have not entered the Phoenix Valley. Brother Tie in Qingyun Village, have you heard anything about Phoenix Valley recently? ”

That Tie Rong frowned and thought about it carefully, his face turned red, and he scratched his ears and cheeks. When they didn't have much hope for him, this person suddenly opened his eyes, slapped the table suddenly, shook Cheng Siyi's shoulder and said excitedly: "I remembered, I remembered!" Last month, there was a robbery of a merchant. ”

Cheng Siyi was so focused on the details of the robbed merchant that he didn't care that Tie Rong's dark palms were still pressing on his shoulders.

"Brother Tie in detail, what is the robbed caravan selling? Where was it taken after being robbed? Can there be a live mouth? ”

Tie Rong raised his hand to signal him to be calm, and said slowly: "According to that caravan in Chang'an, it seems that it is making silk or tea or something, anyway, it is a very lucrative business, and this return trip brought a lot of rare items from various countries in the Western Regions, and there are more than ten carriages alone. Otherwise, as soon as this caravan hit the road, it immediately attracted the attention of several passers-by! I listened to the boss, even the Flying Dragon Gang sent a special group of people to wait in Phoenix Valley that day. ”

"Is it silk and tea? This doesn't seem to be ......"

Bai Su patted him on the shoulder, "Let's listen to Brother Tie first, let's analyze it carefully later." ”

Cheng Siyi, who had a sad face, nodded lightly and motioned for Tie Rong to continue.

"Just as the caravan entered the valley, and entered the encirclement of several horses, a tornado happened to blow in the whole valley, and it was blown in the dark. At that time, don't rob, many horse bandits were swept into the wind and blew away. When the wind passed, the horse bandits who had escaped the catastrophe searched the valley again, and there was no trace of the caravan. Later, it was rumored that the caravan had been blessed by the gods and had successfully left Luoyan Mountain. But there were also people, when the wind was strong, and the caravan was swept into the wind, and no one was spared. Since then, the news that the caravan has disappeared in Phoenix Valley during the day has spread in all directions. The area around Luoyan Mountain has also completely lost the flow of merchants. ”

"And then? Has anyone found out about the missing caravan? ”

Tie Rong shook his head, "That incident was rumored to be evil, and since there were no more merchants passing by, those horse bandits didn't bother to venture into the valley." The ordinary people will not go to that kind of infiltrating place if they have nothing to do. ”

Bai Su was a little silent after hearing this, and was speechless for a while.
