North Liang, Yu Nan City.

This place is the south gate of Beiliang, and you can go straight to the Saibei grassland through the southern city, facing the wolf clan.

This place is full of wind and sand all the year round, the environment is harsh, but it has unique geographical conditions, it is located in a high place, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, such a dangerous place, it is heavily guarded all the year round, and the Yumen Pass of the Zhou Dynasty is exactly the same.

After two months of travel, the two came here.

Xiao Wuxin and Jiu'er wore local clothes, sat on the roadside stall, quietly drank the most famous local specialty: mutton in the water basin, and ordered two roasted naan, soaked in the soup, and ate very uncomfortable.

While eating, the patrolmen who passed by the roadside patrolled the streets, and they patrolled the streets in groups of three or five.

"Brother Wuxin, have you noticed that in the past few days, there are fewer and fewer soldiers patrolling the city?" Jiu'er said nonchalantly.

Speaking of which, they stayed in the city of Yunan for almost half a month, and during this time, they could see patrols on the streets every day, but there were fewer and fewer patrols each time.

Xiao Wuxin's eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly his mouth opened, he just felt a little strange, but he couldn't say why, after Jiu'er said it, it was true.

The barracks patrolling the city were in a square of fifteen people, and although the number of personnel had not decreased, the frequency of patrols had decreased, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find that there were fewer people.

It stands to reason that in an important place like Yunan City, it is not surprising to increase the number of manpower, but it is confusing to reduce the manpower.

Unexpectedly, although Jiu'er has no martial arts, her insight is different from ordinary people, and she is really right to take her.

"Uncle, what kind of war has been going on recently?" Xiao Wuxin asked the owner of the vendor.

The boss shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, this Yunan City hasn't fought for several years, if there is really a war, our little people would have run away a long time ago, do you think this is the reason?" ”

"However, you did remind me that my youngest son just returned from Manchester City not long ago, and I heard that His Majesty had summoned many people to leave Beijing, saying that he was going to war with the wolf clan."

Saying that, the boss immediately cleaned up the stall and prepared to go home, if there was really a war with the wolf clan, this Yunan City would bear the brunt of it, and leave before the war broke out.

"Little brother, thank you for reminding me, I invited this meal."

After the boss left, Jiu'er asked, "Brother Wuxin, you don't really want to fight, right?" ”

Jiu'er has lived in a remote mountain village since she was a child, and she has seen such a thing as a war there, so she can't help but feel a little scared and curious.

"No, if there is really going to be a war, the soldiers and horses in the southern city will inevitably increase, on the contrary, the defenders in the city will be quietly transferred to other places."

"The so-called war with the wolf clan must be a smoke bomb released by Emperor Beiliang."

Xiao Wuxin analyzed the situation in front of him, and suddenly thought of the words of the boss's youngest son.

In addition to the Imperial South City, even the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Manchester City were dispatched, which shows that the Northern Liang Emperor was born after death, could it be that his purpose was ......

"Father's Secret!!" Xiao Wuxin woke up suddenly and muttered to himself.

I think that at the beginning, Emperor Beiliang learned the secret left by Xiao Ju from his own mouth, and he bought the sword thirteen for this matter, and now he is also mobilizing soldiers and horses from all over the country for this matter.

"Jiu'er, let's pack our bags immediately, divert south, and head to Suzhou."

"Not Manchester City anymore?"

"The plan has changed, if I'm not mistaken, Tuoba Dazang has left Manchester City and followed the army to Suzhou." Xiao Wuxin said.

At the beginning, Xiao Wuxin told the Northern Liang Emperor that the secret of Xiao Ju was hidden in the Mogao Grottoes in Suzhou.

Because Suzhou is the throat of the Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Liang, the Wolf Clan, the Tubo and other countries, it also belongs to the only three-regardless territory in the land of Kyushu.

Because of this, Suzhou has become an extrajudicial place of various countries, and exiled prisoners, bandits and thieves from various countries have settled here, and the local folk customs are also very fierce and rampant.

If you want to enter Suzhou, if there is no large army to open the way, ordinary businessmen will definitely die when they come here.

This is also the main reason why Emperor Beiliang wanted to gather people from all over the country, but he was afraid that the sudden decrease in people and horses would cause suspicion, so the number of people in batches was decreasing, so he was unknown.

"Tuoba Dazang, you are called smart but you are mistaken by cleverness." Xiao Wuxin sneered, he did tell Emperor Beiliang the secret about Xiao Ju, but he still kept an eye on it.

"When you arrive in Suzhou, you will know what it means to be greedy and not enough to swallow elephants."

The two of them went out of the city, without stopping, and walked ten miles in a hurry, Jiu'er was a little unbearable: "Brother Wuxin, the distance to Suzhou is still long, you can't walk like this, and when you arrive in Suzhou, you need to recuperate." ”

Speaking of which, if you go on like this, your legs will have to be wasted.

"Okay, let's go to the town ahead and buy two mounts." Xiao Wuxin said.

"Buying mounts is too expensive, and in an emergency like this, trading mounts is too much of a high-profile one."

Jiu'er said, Yao pointed to the three or four horses galloping from a distance, Xiao Wuxin was surprised, and said, "You little girl, you are really bad." ”

"Oh, Brother Wuxin, people are really tired." Wuxin shook Xiao Wuxin's arm.

Xiao Wuxin shook his head helplessly, what does it matter if he is a bad guy once, and he is not a good person in the first place.

He jumped up, lifted the rider up, put it down gently, and said, "Jiu'er, get on the horse!" ”

Jiu'er ran and galloped, grabbed the stable, jumped in three or two steps, sat down easily, and the two of them grabbed the horse like this.

The two rode horses for another half a month, during which Xiao Wuxin contacted the brothers lurking in Beiliang through Changshan League's unique means, and spread the secret that Emperor Beiliang had obtained Xiao Zhi throughout various countries.

Emperor Beiliang wants to monopolize it? I'm afraid I don't have that ability.

Half a month later, the countries of Kyushu received a letter at the same time: "In the land of Suzhou, the secret of Xiao has reappeared, and the Northern Liang has ascended first." ”

Once this letter was discovered, it exploded like a bombshell in the land of Kyushu.
