The group of people outside were obviously coming for Shao Xi and the others, and the reason why they stayed outside the cave and didn't come in, Shao Xi could also guess what they thought.

This unknown cave is a lair that everyone can tell should be the lair of the dragonhorn lizard, after all, such a large skeleton is placed outside.

This group of people should have also seen that the dragon horned lizard was killed by Shao Xi and others, and the skin and horns of the dragon horned lizard that Shao Xi and they put on their camels should have been discovered by them a long time ago.

In the case of not knowing whether there were other dragon horned lizards in the cave, they naturally did not dare to enter rashly, and besides, it was pitch black in the cave, and they must light torches to light them when they came in, which was obviously to set a target for Shao Xi and others.

Under the premise of not knowing the situation in the cave, the best choice is to stay outside the cave and wait for Shao Xi and the others to come out of the cave.

There are several benefits to this.

First, there is no need to risk risking one's own life, no matter whether Shao Xi and the others can come out alive or not, it can be regarded as exploring the way for them.

The second is to wait for the rabbit and wait for work, no matter whether Shao Xi and they find the legendary treasure or not, they can set up an ambush outside the cave to catch a few people off guard.

Third, if a few people can be captured alive, McJid can also take Shao Xi's handle on the pretext of stealing the royal treasure map of Wuhai Kingdom, and let Shao Xi use it for his own use in the future.

Presumably, all of this was the response that this group of people had been instructed by McGid before setting off, and once they found out that Shao Xi and the others had a tendency to find treasures.

I think of praying mantis catching cicadas, and yellow finches are behind!

And Shao Xi expected that this group of people would not find any evidence that could prove that they were sent by the royal family of Wuhai Kingdom.

Even if the matter is finally revealed, McGid can push the matter off completely, and it has nothing to do with the royal family of his Wuhai country.

This is clearly a conspiracy.

Although Shao Xi and McJid had previously reached an agreement on cooperation, Shao Xi would act as an intermediary to improve the relationship between Wuhai Kingdom and the Jingyuan Empire.

But McJid also knew very well that the improvement of relations between the two countries was not wishful thinking on the part of Wuhaiguo, after all, this matter was also of great benefit to the Jingyuan Dynasty.

The Jingyuan Dynasty was bent on exerting influence on the Western Regions and gradually controlling the Western Regions, and McJid also wanted to use this intention of the Jingyuan Dynasty to improve his position in the Western Regions.

He wanted to adopt the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf to complete the unification of the Western Regions by the Wuhai Kingdom, and then fight against the Jingyuan Dynasty after he was full-fledged.

In fact, everyone knows this kind of thing, so as long as some things are not caught by the other party, even if the other party knows that they did it, as long as they can't say it, they can't do it.

There are no eternal friends and eternal enemies between countries, only eternal interests, as long as the face is passable, both sides know what the other will do.

So even if Shao Xi knew that these people were sent by McJid, McJid also knew that Shao Xi knew that these people were sent by himself.

As long as the two sides do not tear their faces publicly, this cooperative relationship between everyone on the table can still be maintained.

If Shao Xi and the others really found that treasure that was enough to cause a sensation in the world, as long as McJid could master this treasure, then Shao Xi's life or death and whether Wuhai Kingdom established diplomatic relations with the Jingyuan Empire would become less important.

With this wealth, Wuhai Kingdom has the strength to sweep the Western Regions, and with the capital to unify the Western Regions, it seems that there is no need to care about the improvement of relations with the Jingyuan Empire, so Shao Xi naturally has little value.

Shao Xi certainly understood McJid's thoughts.

If they had gone out so rashly and fallen into the hands of this group of people at this time, and proved that the treasure had been found, then it would be the end of their trip to the Western Regions.

McJid would never let them leave the Wuhai Kingdom alive, after all, he did not come to the Western Regions this time in his official capacity as any Jingyuan Dynasty, and he could only bear his own risk if he entered the Western Regions privately and had any accidents.

If the Jingyuan Dynasty wanted to ask McJid for an explanation on the grounds that the officials of this dynasty had died in Wuhai State, it would not be able to be established.

Therefore, many times the conspiracy is more terrible than the conspiracy, although the conspiracy is not easy to detect, but most of them have a way to crack it, and the conspiracy is on the table to let you know my intentions but cannot be cracked.

Even if it's really cracked, you won't be able to get any leverage from the other party.

At present, Shao Xi is obviously at a disadvantage in every aspect.

First of all, you don't have any diplomatic status in the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so you are an ordinary person in Wuhai country, and you can only be responsible for anything that happens in Wuhai.

Secondly, this is on other people's land, without any support, only on their own.

Furthermore, there is a big problem with the fact that you go out to hunt for treasure by yourself.

Although McGid had promised that if he found the Tears of the Desert Goddess, the rest of the wealth would go to the treasure hunter, the question is, how did you find the treasure? Where did the treasure map you used to find the treasure come from?

So it's like an unsolvable bug, you can't find the treasure without the treasure map, and if you find the treasure, and the way you get the treasure map is problematic, McGid always has an excuse to keep the treasure for himself.

It is precisely because of these that McJid can play cards with Shao Xi unscrupulously, knowing that I am messing with you, but you can't say it, and everything can only be swallowed in the stomach.

However, for Shao Xi, the current situation is not completely unsolvable.

No matter how blatantly McJid targets himself, he is unwilling to leave Shao Xi any evidence related to himself, so if this group of people die in his own hands, McJid can only suffer a dumb loss.

Shao Xi couldn't prove that these people were sent by the royal family of Wuhai Kingdom, and McJid couldn't admit that these people were sent by him, so this group of people died in vain in Shao Xi's hands.

Even if McGid knew what was going on, he couldn't say.

This is Shao Xi's plan, to use the simplest and rude way to directly break McJid's conspiracy, no matter if you have a thousand clever plans, I will break them with my strength.

After a lot of things have happened, both sides have to pretend that nothing happened, as if nothing happened, but everyone knows who suffers and who takes advantage.

At that moment, what Shao Xi and the others had to do was to kill all the people who were ambushing them outside the cave, and not give them a chance to pass the news to McJid.

Shao Xi roughly calculated, starting from Wuhai City to reach Wuhai Lake, and then from Wuhai Lake to Jinwu Mountain, plus entering the Oxhorn Valley to kill the dragon horned lizard.

If they had delivered news in the form of eagles every day, they would have had more than a dozen or twenty eagles, but it would have been impossible for them to bring out so many eagles.

So they will only choose to pass the message back at the key node, so the first node to pass the message is when they arrive at Wuhai Lake.

But they never imagined that they would suddenly leave Wuhai and go to Jinwu Mountain, so they would have to deliver the news twice in Wuhai Lake.

The first news is that they have arrived in Wuhai, the second news is that they have left Wuhai, and the two news will be transmitted by the two letter eagles, so the third news will be that they will be sent out when they arrive in the area of Jinwu Mountain.

Only in this way can McJid grasp the movements of Shao Xi and others in detail in Wuhai City.

Interestingly, it is not easy for a dozen people to come out and carry three letter eagles, after all, it is impossible for everyone to bring one.

The domestication and carrying of this thing is not as easy as imagined, and the rich caravan can afford one or two at most, even if a team of more than a dozen people sent by the royal family of Wuhai Kingdom can carry three, it is already quite a luxury.

Therefore, Shao Xi's approximate guess was that this group of people did not expect that they would suddenly change their route and turn to Jinwu Mountain after arriving at Wuhai Lake, and the two more messages transmitted on the way would also consume their two letter eagles.

So far, the most Megid has learned about their arrival in the area of Jinwu Mountain, and it is not so easy to know the news that follows.

Despite this, this is also very unfavorable for Shao Xi.

Once McJid grasped that Shao Xi and the others' final destination was Jinwu Mountain, even if he didn't get the specific location information of Niujiao Valley for the time being, he didn't dare to guarantee whether he would send a large number of people to conduct a dragnet exploration of Jinwu Mountain.

Then the specific situation of Oxhorn Valley will be discovered by them sooner or later, and there was a dragon horned lizard guarding here to form a sufficient deterrent, but now this thing is dead in the hands of a few of them.

If anyone comes to Oxhorn Valley all the way unimpeded, then sooner or later this cave will be known to McJid.

Shao Xi whispered this worry to a few people, and Lao Wu and Fu Biao also felt that this was a troublesome matter.

Now that Shao Xi has discovered the existence of these people, not to mention whether he can kill them one by one, even if he kills them all, the information that they are in Jinwu Mountain has been grasped by McJid.

The only difference between the mouths of these people is the confirmation of the location of the cave in the Ox Horn Valley, but it cannot avoid the risk of this cave being discovered.

And if this treasure wants to be transported away, it is definitely not something that can be completed in a short period of time, and it is absolutely impossible to win this time with the royal family of Wuhai in Wuhai.

While a few people were worried, the voice of Nabihai was heard in the darkness.

"Shao Gongzi's estimate is good, if a dozen people come out, there will definitely not be too many letter eagles, they may have thought that we would go straight to the destination, but they didn't want to suddenly change the direction of travel in Wuhai.

"As Gongzi said, they will release two letter eagles on the shore of Wuhai, and send back the news of arriving in Wuhai and leaving Wuhai, and they will also pass the news back after arriving at Jinwu Mountain.

"But judging from my experience as a guide over the years, if they have really delivered the first three messages, then they must still have a letter eagle in their hands at this time."

Shao Xi suddenly became interested when he heard this, and asked Nabihai in a low voice, "How are you sure that there must be a letter eagle in their hands?" ”

Although he couldn't see Nabihai's expression in the darkness at this time, it could be guessed that he showed that cute smile at this time.

"This is a habit of our people in the Western Regions to deliver messages, and no matter what, we will keep a letter eagle to deliver the last message.

"According to what Shao Gongzi said before, if they had passed on the news the first three times, then they must have a fourth letter eagle in their hands at this time.

"If they really only brought three letter eagles, it means that they must have not delivered one of the first three messages, which one time does Shao Gongzi think they did not pass on?"

Shao Xi was silent when asked by Nabihai.

Nabihai is right, according to the calculation that the other party only carries three letter eagles, if you want to keep one in your hand to deliver the last message at this time, then one of the first three key nodes must be one of them who did not choose to send the message back, so which one will it be?

"Nabihai, what do you think about this?"

Nabihai was silent in the darkness for a while, and then whispered, "If they only have three letter eagles in their hands, the first time the news comes out must be when we arrive at Wuhai Lake.

At this time, they still have two in their hands, one is used to deliver the final message, and the other chooses the right opportunity to release.

"Then this second one was either released when we left Wuhai Lake, or when we arrived at Jinwu Mountain, I think the former is more likely.

"If they send the news back on both occasions, it means that they still have a fourth letter eagle in their hands to send back the final news."

Shao Xi seemed to have somewhat understood the purpose of Nabihai's repeated emphasis on the last letter eagle in the hands of those people outside.

"If my guess is correct, do you want to remind me that whether they have three or four eagles in their possession, and whether or not the news of us in Jinwushan has been passed back, we can just make good use of this last eagle to send the false news back and disturb their judgment."

From the darkness came Nabihai's affirmative answer.

"Yes, regardless of whether the news of us in Jinwushan has been spread or not, as long as the news from the last letter eagle is still in Wuhai, it will make people believe that we are in Wuhai.

"If you didn't know that we came to Jinwu Mountain, you would have thought that we had been in Wuhai all along, if you knew that we had come to Jinwu Mountain, and finally passed the news that we appeared on the Wuhai beach again.

"Then compared with Jinwu Mountain, which only sent out the news once, Wuhai, which came out three times, will become a more certain destination."

Shao Xi thought this was an interesting plan, and he couldn't imagine that this young man from Nabihai could come up with such an idea to confuse the public.

As he said, as long as the news from the last letter eagle was that they were still in Wuhai, it would only convince McGid that Wuhai was the place where the treasure was hidden.

As long as McJid's attention is attracted to the Wuhai side, the treasure transportation on the Jinwu Mountain side can be carried out smoothly.

This can be regarded as a bright plank road, and the darkness is Chencang, right?

Then the most important thing now is not only to kill these people outside, but more importantly, to take down the last letter eagle in their hands.

"Fu Biao, Lao Wu, let's do it after dark, remember that in addition to leaving everyone, the letter eagle they brought must also be left."

"What about me?"

Wu Qiu'er, who had been holding back and not making a sound, had kept her voice to the lowest possible level.

"Forget it, I guess you won't be able to get out of the cave at that time."
