Half an hour later, Bai Qi received a message from Adrian, and after Wang Ye eavesdropped on their conversation, he immediately returned to his residence, wrote a letter, and then sneaked away from the cottage, where he pressed the letter under a boulder on a hill on the side of the cottage and returned to the cottage.

Adrian asked Bai Qi whether he would keep his letter or continue to follow Wang Ye.

Bai Qi ordered without hesitation: "Continue to keep the letter, and you must find out the forces behind Wang Ye." ”

After another hour or so, Adrian sent back the news that someone had climbed up the mountain from the back mountain and taken the secret letter left by Wang Ye, and after this person had descended the mountain, he had climbed over a mountain beam and came to a cave at the bottom of the valley, where there was a small camp with three men and a few horses.

Immediately after the man had brought the letter back, a man rode away with the letter with him.

After listening to Adrian's report, Bai Qi immediately ordered him to track down the person who left on horseback, and ordered Huang Mao to send two horses to Adrian, and the two were responsible for tracking down together.

Bai Qi knew that this time the investigation, within a few days, would definitely not find out the results, so he dismissed everyone.

The next day, Bai Qi ordered the captain, Dalma, and Li Yuancheng to bring three hundred brothers, drive five hundred war horses, and send them to the northwest military town of Western Xia with one hundred pairs of Jin Guotie Futu heavy armor.

The war horses are still there, and there is no shortage of war horses in the Western Xia, but the heavy armor of the Tiefutu is something that the Western Xia people covet.

The Jin State has the Iron Float Heavy Cavalry, and the Western Xia also has the Iron Harrier Heavy Cavalry, and from the elite Cheng dù, the Iron Harrier is no worse than the Iron Floating Slaughter. It is even exceeded, but in terms of numbers, the Iron Harrier is not as good as the Iron Floating Massacre.

The whole of Western Xia. There are only three thousand iron harriers.

The number of people cannot go up, of course, because of the strict selection, but it is also difficult to make heavy armor.

Bai Qi used this hundred pairs of heavy armor plus dozens of pairs of low-level generals and five hundred war horses to exchange one or two hundred carts of grain and grass plus a cart of grain to the Tangut people, which was definitely a loss-making deal, and the Tangut people would certainly not refuse.

On the third day after the captain's departure, news came from Adrian. She and Huang Mao followed the messenger to a famous market town in the Western Regions.

The market town was called Liangcheng, and it was an important hub on the Northwest Trade Road.

Liangcheng nominally belonged to the Western Liao Kingdom, but in fact it was an autonomous city.

There are three factions in charge of the town. One is the Golden Eagle Trading House, the other is the Liangcheng Wang Family, and the other is the Ansan Dart Bureau.

Behind the Golden Eagle Trading House is the Kunlun faction, and the Liangcheng Wang family is the representative of the Tianshan faction in Liangcheng. These are open secrets.

Ansan Dart Game is a big dart game that has been inherited for more than 100 years. With the title of the first dart game in the northwest, in addition to darts, it also accepts disciples, and the disciples are like clouds.

In the great northwest, there are many autonomous cities like Liangcheng, and in the chaotic northwest, the reason why the trade routes are still uninterrupted today is because of the existence of these autonomous cities.

Kunlun faction. Tianshan faction, Ansan Dart Bureau such a force. In any case, if the northwest trade route is not allowed to be cut off, it will be equivalent to cutting off their financial and livelihood routes.

Although horse thieves are rampant in the northwest, they are nothing compared to the Kunlun faction and the Tianshan faction, which have been inherited for hundreds of years.

Liangcheng is said to be a city, but in fact it is only a small town with a population of four or five thousand, but in the northwest, with a population of four or five thousand, it can already be called a city.

Adrian and the two had been hanging the messenger from a distance out of sight, until they approached Liangcheng, and the messenger walked on the main road, and the caravan on the road gradually increased, and the two approached the person.

After the messenger entered Liangcheng, he immediately went straight to the royal compound in the south of the city.

The Wang family is a big family in Liangcheng, controlling nearly half of the cultivated land near Liangcheng, and each generation of the Wang family will have a large number of children enter the Tianshan Mountains to learn arts, and pay a lot of tribute to the Tianshan faction.

In this way, the Tianshan faction fostered many family-like agents on the Northwest Trade Road.

Soon after the messenger entered the Wang family compound, Adrian and the two saw a letter eagle fly out of the Wang family compound, fly out of Liangcheng, and go straight to the northwest.

After listening to the news sent by the two, Bai Qi immediately understood that the force behind Wang Ye was the Tianshan faction.

Bai Qi ordered Adrian and the two to simply stay in Liangcheng and stare at the Wang family.

What Bai Qi didn't know was that not long after the letter eagle flew to the middle of the Tianshan Mountains, a large valley where the seasons were like spring, the grass was green, and the cattle and sheep were flocked, all the space soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty envoy group received a system prompt, "Warning, due to the leakage of the news that the envoy tribute includes a top-level exercise "Mixed Yuan Sutra", the Tianshan faction of the Northwest Great Sect has already set its sights on the envoy group. ”

"Soldier...... Your basic quest 'Escorting the Great Song Envoys' has been increased in difficulty to Challenge Level. ”

This hint made all the space soldiers gasp.

……

At this time, the Great Song envoys were not in the mountains, they were walking on an endless grassland, and the mountains were towering to the north.

In fact, the Great Song envoys only avoided the Guanzhong Plain of the Jin people and the Hexi Corridor of the Western Xia people, and when they entered the territory of Qinghai, they left the mountains and headed northwest along the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.

Along the way, they successively purchased more than a dozen carts, and with the carts to pull the goods, the team's progress immediately accelerated a lot.

According to the guide, there will be ten days at most before they can reach the southern part of the Western Regions, and at that time, they will abandon their vehicles, carry their goods, and cross the Kunlun Mountains from a small road to officially enter the Western Regions.

When the news was received, it was evening, and the envoys had just set up camp.

Merlin immediately summoned all the space team leaders to discuss countermeasures.

While everyone was discussing, a soldier suddenly came to Merlin and told him, and Bi was summoned by the general.

Follow the soldiers to Bi Zaiyu's camp, where Bi Zaiyu was holding a rudimentary map and carefully examining it.

Merlin saluted Bi Zaiyu with a respectful attitude: "Meet the general, I don't know what the general has to call him." ”

Bi Zaiyu is very satisfied with Merlin's attitude, the so-called chivalrous use of force to break the ban, these patriotic knights who voluntarily escort the envoys, there is always a disdain for the officers and soldiers, if it weren't for his good martial arts, suppressed, I don't know how much chaos will be made, but this group of people led by Merlin is different from others, they are quite respectful to themselves, although he can feel that this courtesy is only the surface, but this is much stronger than those free and arrogant knights.

Bi Zaiyu took the map, pointed to a simple stool that was actually a wooden stake, and said, "Mr. Wen, please take a seat." ”

Mei Lin's identity in this world is a child of a martial arts family surnamed Wen in the Hanzhong region of the Great Song Dynasty, named Wen Yuan.

Merlin sat down after a little politeness, and after this time of getting along, he knew that this Bi Zaiyu was a rather bold person. (To be continued......)
