Shang Yun smiled bitterly, Guangjun Hou refused to tell Qin Nan even the most basic situation, and he did a bit desperately.

"Come over and take a look, by the way, who is that one? ”

Shang Yun said a word to Qin Nan, and he found Song Jianyi behind Qin Nan.

He saw that Song Jianyi was also a martial artist, and his cultivation was not low, which attracted his attention.

"It's my good friend, good brother. Qin Nan said.

Shang Yun gave up a position to Qin Nan directly above, Qin Nan was his sixteenth brother, and he was on an equal footing, so of course Qin Nan was qualified to stand directly above.

"Good brother?" Shang Yun muttered, looking at Song Jianyi, he found a breath of rivers and lakes on his body, and the bridge of his nose wrinkled.

Song Jianyi knew that the other party was unhappy with him, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only endure it in vain.

Shang Yun, a person who works for the imperial court, naturally doesn't like that kind of guy who is full of rivers and lakes, because in normal times, that kind of person is generally an enemy of the imperial court.

But since Qin Nan brought it over, it was not easy for him to say anything more.

Qin Nan walked over and stood side by side with Shang Yun, looking down at the big sand table in front of him, it was really very detailed, and even the rivers that had dried up and been diverted were marked.

One of the largest coordinates is the trade route after coming from Tanhalla City, the Shatuo bandits marked along the line, and the garrison on the side of Guangjunhou.

"The wind and sand in the desert are big, the terrain is changeable, if it's fast, it won't take a few days to be another model, is it useful to make a sand table?" Qin Nan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course there is, this is all drawn in real time, so let's talk about my opinion first. Shang Yun said.

"Is the Shatuo bandit the target?" Qin Nan asked again.

"Yes. Shang Yun said.

"A stream of bandits is worth the Dragon Legion?" Qin Nan didn't dare to imagine.

"Sixteenth brother, don't underestimate the enemy, the Shatuo bandits have been entrenched in this area for a long time, they live in the Red Moon Desert, and their methods are cruel. It is said that they ate human flesh and drank human blood, specialized in robbing passing merchants, repeatedly harassed border gates, and especially liked to crush children with stone mills to push out blood plasma and make grape blood wine. I've fought them once, and it's hard to deal with them. ”

Shang Yun said lightly, but what he said was shocking.

Even Qin Nan couldn't help but be moved, using the blood of a baby to make fine wine, which was really a bit cruel.

The Shatuo bandits fight the autumn wind in the desert, riding a kind of camel and ram hybrid alpaca as leg strength, good endurance, can run long distances, and disturb wherever they go.

This kind of secretive and erratic bandit, when you think about it, you know how difficult it is to deal with.

Shang Yun also fought with them, but he didn't prepare properly and missed.

Qin Nan looked at the sand table and was silent for a while, this fourteenth brother really wanted to test himself, and he had a problem as soon as he came.

Just then, a huge goshawk flew in through the window of the tent. This guy is really a bit big, nearly a meter long, and his body is shiny.

Its eyes were as clear as crystal, and shimmered with cunning power.

Its iron beak and claws shimmer like steel. And the powerful legs, almost as thick as a baby's arms, looked as if they could tear a goat apart at once.

Qin Nan saw Shang Yun with his own eyes, and communicated with this goshawk in a way that others couldn't understand, just like a primordial god.

But that is definitely not the Yuan Shen, Qin Nan can be sure. It seems that this goshawk is like Shang Yun's playmate when he was a child, and after being with him for a long time, he can communicate in a special way.

On the march, with the help of such a goshawk, you can detect the enemy, which is simply like a tiger with wings.

After communicating with the goshawk for a while, Shang Yun skillfully changed the shape on the sand table.

"Live map?"

Qin Nan was shocked, could this be the source of the so-called real-time map in Shang Yun's mouth?

Shang Yun, the eldest of the sixteen loyal and righteous men, actually has a big goshawk that can communicate with humans?

And the Shang Yun in front of him doesn't seem to have more than one goshawk with such skills, he seems to have the qualifications to be a commander.

"Let's get back to our conversation!"

After Shang Yun changed the sand table, he said to everyone.

"Brother Fourteen, what's a good idea?" Qin Nan was silent for a moment and asked.

Shang Yun chuckled lightly and looked at the counselor and a few other people next to him, all of whom looked silent.

"It's because I don't have an idea that I want to ask the sixteenth brother, see if you have it?" Shang Yun said.

"Throwing bricks and leading jade?" Qin Nan said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, Shang Yun paused, and said: "It seems that the sixteenth brother and I want to go together, but it is a little difficult to arrange the problem, after all, the desert is far-reaching, and it is not as easy as usual." ”

When Qin Nan heard this, he quickly thought about countermeasures, how to deal with those people? Because throwing bricks and attracting jade may not be effective, and it is very difficult to arrange, and it is quite difficult to implement.

"Why don't you do this?" Qin Nan said to Shang Yun, and then said his thoughts.

Hearing this, Shang Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes, and the look in his eyes towards Qin Nan was different.

It seems that the person who can be valued by the Nine Princes personally will definitely not be useless.

The other people next to him couldn't help but be amazed, Qin Nan's plan was a bit wonderful, and he was not afraid that those Shatuo bandits would not be fooled.

In the end, Shang Yun nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."

Five days before Chinese New Year's Eve.

The sun was shining, from the Red Moon Desert to the direction of the Yamato Kingdom of Tanhalla, a caravan was slowly marching in the dry desert, and this caravan was about three or four hundred people.

Among them, except for a dozen camel drivers leading camels, and a few officials dressed strangely and resembling officials in small countries in the Western Regions, the rest were guards with weapons in their hands.

And the dozen or so carts pulled by camels were full of mouthfuls of large boxes.

These people were paying tribute to the Yamato Kingdom, rare pearls, agate, and local products of the Western Regions. Among them, the most valuable is a century-old "Earth Fire Lotus," which will be dedicated to the monarch before the Lantern Festival of the Yamato Kingdom.

Because of the value of the items, more than a few hundred people were mobilized to guard against the notorious Shatuo bandits in the desert.

As the sun set, the procession of tribute escorts stopped, and the people began to eat and drink the dry rations they had carried.

Even though it was dusk, the temperature in the desert was still very high, and the heat wave was like roasting people alive.

At this moment, whether it is the guards, camel drivers, and officials, they are all gulping water to quench their thirst and replenish the water consumed by their bodies. I1387
