Merlin sat down, and Bi Zaiyu said, "Mr. Wen, I called you here this time to discuss how to get through the potential desert of the Western Regions. Although we traded with herdsmen along the way to buy a lot of grain, our dry food will definitely run out before entering the Western Regions, and I want to make sure again that there must be no accidents when you say that you can buy grain in the Western Regions. ”

Merlin said: "General, please rest assured, in order to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions, our Wen family has to pay tribute to several horse thieves in the Western Regions every year, and we have already fed them, and I don't just ask one family for this matter, I don't think it will all go wrong, some time ago I instigated the horse thieves in the Western Regions and Jin Guotie to ride the fire, which is to use the relationship between these horse thieves." ”

Bi Zaiyu nodded, and said, "It's good that Mr. Wen is confident." ”

He paused, and then said, "There is one more thing that I have to ask Mr. Wen to think of." I also heard Mr. Wen say before that the reason why you were able to provoke the horse thieves in the Western Regions and the Jin Guotie to join forces was to fight for the qualification to rob us first, and these horse thieves would definitely be waiting for us in the northwest. The sergeants I took were all born in the infantry army, although they are elite, but most of them are not good at riding horses, on the flat desert in the northwest, the infantry army directly faces the cavalry, the disadvantage is too great, even if my soldiers use their lives, it is difficult to resist, I don't know if Mr. Wen can find a batch of carts, on the one hand, can transport goods, on the other hand, can form a chariot formation in wartime, once there is a chariot array, relying on the strong crossbows and 20,000 crossbow arrows we brought, it is more than enough to deal with four or five thousand horse thieves without heavy armor. ”

Merlin listened to Bi Zaiyu's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "General Yingming, I just received a message. It is said that the Tianshan faction of the Western Regions may also be eyeing us, if you talk about masters, there are generals and Lu Daxia. Jiang Daxia and all the heroes are here, we are not afraid, we are afraid that the Tianshan faction and the horse thieves will be mixed together, there are many people, and there are masters to help, we are difficult to resist, if there is this car array. What are we afraid of, the general's heart, and I will contact the horse thieves with whom we have a relationship. If nothing else, there will never be more than three thousand horse thieves who have taken part in our plunder. ”

Bi Zaiyu was also taken aback when he heard that the Tianshan faction was targeting them. The Tianshan faction is a major faction in the northwest. Its reputation is well known to people in the martial arts even if it is far away in the Central Plains Jiangnan, and occasionally disciples walk in the Central Plains rivers and lakes, all of which are extraordinary.

If such a force joins in, it will undoubtedly make the situation of the Great Song Dynasty envoys even worse.

Bi Zaiyu did not dare to slack off, and immediately invited Lu Kaishan, Jiang Yiming and other indigenous leaders of the rivers and lakes to come to discuss.

After everyone sat down in the tent, Bi Zaiyu repeated Merlin's words, and Jiang Yiming immediately questioned Merlin's source of information.

Without waiting for Merlin to explain. Bi Zaiyu waved his hand and said: "The so-called empty hole will not come to the wind, since there is this news." We have to guard against it, and I'd rather be overly cautious than regret it because of my lack of preparation. ”

"So, now I'm inviting you not to discuss the correctness of this news, but to discuss how we should respond if this news is true."

Lu Kaishan frowned and said: "According to the rumors in the rivers and lakes, there are three masters of the Tianshan faction, namely Mr. Zhong, the former head of the outgoing Snow Mountain Divine Spear, Mr. Zhong Bu Zhong. Wu Feng, the current head of the golden hand, and Wu Feng's senior brother, Qu Ao, the swordsman of the Divine Gate. ”

"These three people just represent the three great masters of the Tianshan Sect, which are the Dragon Lance, the Broken Gold Hand, and the Shenmen Knife."

"If Mr. Zhongda comes out in person, I am afraid that Jiang Daxia and I are not opponents, but Mr. Zhongda is already over the age of old, and the Tianshan faction cannot be left alone, so I don't think I will personally take action, Wu Feng and Qu Ao, I Lao Lu can take the next one, although it may not be able to win, but it is not necessarily defeated."

Jiang Yiming was a little dissatisfied with Bi Zaiyu interrupting him, but he was silent for a moment and still said, "I can also take the next one." ”

Bi Zaiyu said: "Okay, if the Snow Mountain Divine Spear arrives in person, I will meet him in person, and Mr. Wen will lead the masters under his command and cooperate with me to surround and kill him!" ”

Merlin immediately said: "General Fang Xin, Wen will definitely go all out!" ”

Returning to his tent, Merlin explained the decision of the meeting to the leaders.

Listening to Merlin's words, everyone's hearts were slightly relieved, and it didn't sound too bad.

However, someone immediately asked a question, "Captain Merlin, the problem is that we are going to find a big car there, and to form a car formation that can surround our thousands of people, at least fifty or sixty big cars, right?" To let the team unfold, at least more than 100 cars, we can't control the horse thieves to make up so many big cars. ”

Merlin seemed to have a clear idea of this question, and he said, "This matter will also fall on the Black Hawk horse thief." ”

Hearing the word Black Hawk, everyone looked at the two ugly faces in the corner of the tent.

These two people are the only two remaining Level 3 professionals in the Asahi team in this space.

If most people still looked down on Bai Qi before the Battle of Moon Lake, after that battle, Bai Qi's bravery and cunning were imprinted in everyone's minds.

If Bai Qi's bravery is based on the corpse of Jinbar Khan, the general of the Jin soldiers, then his cunning is based on the corpse of Takeda Shingen, the leader of the Asahi team in this space.

Everyone glanced at the two third-level professionals of the Asahi team, and they all shut up and stopped talking about this issue, obviously, they still had a lot of confidence in Bai Qi.

Sure enough, when Merlin contacted Bai Qi, the other party did not hesitate to pack the ticket.

For the other party's refreshment, Merlin was unmoved, and sure enough, before Bai Qi's voice fell, he spit out the word 'but'.

“…… A hundred carts, together with food, are not a problem at all, but ...... What's in it for me? ”

Merlin asked lightly, "What benefits do you want?" ”

Bai Qi grinned toothily and said: "It just so happens that a few of my subordinates need to complete the professional advancement task, and they need a few inconspicuous things in the tribute transported by the envoys, if Your Excellency Merlin can give me these few things, not to mention the cart of grain, I can also send 50,000 feather arrows, how about it?" ”

Bai Qi's words made Merlin feel very embarrassed at once, even if the other party asked to temporarily join the side of the Great Song Dynasty envoys and ask for the position of a team leader, he was not surprised, but the other party actually asked for something in the tribute, which made him feel embarrassed.

But Merlin also knew that if it was needed for a career advancement task, the other party would have an imperative on these things, and if it was not handled well, it would even push the other party into a hostile position, after so many fights with this cunning Oriental, Merlin would never want to see this, as long as he thought of the other party's terrible layout ability, he had a shuddering feeling.
