Li Xuan didn't notice anything wrong, he just asked like this, but he didn't expect to provoke such a big reaction from Xu Lang and others.

He immediately wrote on Xu Lang's palm and explained:

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking."

"Can you eat beef as you like?"

"Aren't cattle meant to be used to plow the land?"

Seeing Li Xuan ask such a question, a smile appeared on Xu Lang's tense face.

Only at this time can Xu Lang realize that Li Xuan in front of him is just a cat.

And he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the outside world.

But being able to think about such a question also made Xu Lang amazed by Li Xuan's intelligence.

Xu Lang immediately gestured to the other four people, asking them to continue to eat with peace of mind.

Then he took out a piece of braised beef from the plate in front of him, and then slowly tore it into small pieces with chopsticks and placed it in front of Li Xuan.

"Your Excellency, you don't know."

"The beef we eat is not a ploughing cow, but a green cow from the Emerald Plateau."

"This green cow is a beast that grows in the wild, with a tyrannical temperament and a huge size."

"An adult green cow has a size of 1,000 catties at the earliest."

"Look, my lord, the meat with a slight green texture is the most significant feature of green beef."

Listening to Xu Lang's introduction, Li Xuan tasted a small piece of meat in disbelief.

It turned out that this braised beef was meaty and chewy, and although it tasted good, it was a little difficult to eat.

After Li Xuan swallowed it, he felt that it was okay to eat.

Seeing Li Xuan eat a piece of braised beef, Xu Lang then explained:

"What this folk sells is the meat of this green cow, although ordinary farming cattle are also eaten, but the price is more expensive, and the procedures are quite complicated, far less affordable than the meat of this green cow."

After listening to Xu Lang's introduction, Li Xuan realized that for ordinary cultivated cattle, Daxing is not allowed to slaughter and eat them casually, after all, this is a production tool.

In fact, among the beasts, they are more powerful than the ploughing oxen, and there are many who can plow the fields.

But the stronger the ability, the more animal nature is generally untamable, and for ordinary people, docile farming cattle are still the best choice.

Cultivated land.

Just have enough strength.

The main thing is to be docile and obedient, not dare to resist, and give some forage to feed.

No matter how strong the green ox is, no matter how suitable it is for plowing, as long as there is a threat, it is not a qualified production tool.

"Are these green cattle being bred by someone?"

Li Xuan remembered that when Xiao Er introduced it just now, the price of this beef was not expensive, one hundred and twenty yuan a catty, and the clear soup noodles were only five yuan a bowl.

Of course, Li Xuan thinks it's not expensive, maybe he has too little experience in living in the outside world.

Xu Lang shook his head, and then replied:

"Although there are also green cattle breeders in Daxing, there are not many of them."

"The main thing is that the green cow has a temperament that is too irritable and eats a lot."

"It's far less expensive to hunt and transport it down from the Emerald Plateau."

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help frowning, and asked puzzledly:

"After hunting, will it be shipped to the whole country?"

"Isn't that a lot of loss on the way?"

Xu Lang smiled, and then patiently explained:

"The Emerald Plateau is located in the western part of Daxing, which is the most suitable place in the world for the life of the beast race, and the number of beast tribes in it is very amazing."

"Every year the imperial court organizes a hunt on the Emerald Plateau to prevent an overabundance of orcs and cholera from the surrounding people."

"But in addition to this, there are also a considerable number of professional hunters who are responsible for hunting on the Emerald Plateau, and then selling the hunted orcs at a high price."

"Although the value of this green cow is not high, it is large, produces a lot of meat, and is relatively easy to deal with, so it is one of the hottest prey."

"The major commercial houses have their own hunting teams, specializing in the business of green beef, and on the way, the true qi of the five masters or other means to ensure that the meat quality remains unchanged, and then sell it to all parts of the country."

"But in general, the price of green beef is the lowest in the west and the highest in the east."

"For example, on the east coast of our Daxing, the price of green beef is more than 300 yuan, and the price on our side is already good."

Hearing this, Li Xuan dispelled the doubts in his heart.

It's all because of the name of this place, which makes Li Xuan always associate it for no reason.

After figuring out the origin of this beef, Li Xuan also ate it with peace of mind.

Xu Lang saw that Li Xuan was used to eating this green beef, so Xiao Er got another five catties.

Those of them who practice martial arts, generally speaking, have a lot of food, but they are also tired of eating, so it is more convenient to eat some anti-hunger food directly, so they are used to eating meat when they go out.

During the meal, Li Xuan listened to Xu Lang talk about the Emerald Plateau again.

This emerald plateau is located in the west of Daxing, vast, I heard that the other end can reach the Western Regions hundred countries, it can be seen how vast it is.

Moreover, the forests and forages of this Emerald Plateau are extremely luxuriant, giving birth to a large number of beasts to inhabit it, and the rate of reproduction is also very fast.

It is said that this is because the Emerald Plateau has sufficient aura, which is why there is such a vision.

But I heard that the aura of this Jade Plateau only nourishes the beast race, and has no such effect on the human race, Li Xuan, who listened to it, was a little moved.

Li Xuan is now one of the beast clans, thinking that if he has the opportunity to go there to practice in the future, wouldn't he be one step ahead.

It's just that according to legend, there are some extremely powerful beast races living in the core area of the Emerald Plateau, and even the masters of the human race dare not cross the Emerald Plateau at will.

Most of the people are only active in the outer areas, but this is enough to feed many people.

"Emerald Plateau ......"

"Interesting."

Li Xuan muttered in his heart, and wrote down an interesting place name.

Compared to the world in his previous life, there are many magical places here.

They ate in the inn, but their ears were always pricked up, listening to the conversations of the guests in the inn.

But there is no useful news in these discussions, mostly the discussions of some melon-eating masses, or some baseless speculations.

After eating, Xu Lang directly led the team out of the inn, and there were no more clues here for the time being.

After the group was full of wine and food, they rode straight to the west intersection that Luo Yuejin said earlier.

After walking ten miles according to what Luo Yuejin said, they successfully found some traces.

The traces left by the robbers are blurred, but the traces that the officials have probed are still relatively clear.

Someone immediately reported to Xu Langyu:

"Captain, it should be here."

Xu Lang nodded, and then ordered:

"Gather all the brothers."

Immediately after the man received the order, he blew his whistle and spread far and wide.

They waited in place for a short time before ten other horsemen came into view.

"Captain!"

As soon as they returned, they saluted Xu Lang.

Xu Lang nodded, and then asked:

"How?"

"Did you find anything?"

Someone immediately stepped forward to report:

"The sudden appearance of this group of robbers has not been detected before, and the people around them and the merchants who come and go have no idea of their origins."

"After they committed the robbery of the Ping An Trading House a few days ago, they hibernated, and no one in the vicinity saw their traces again."

After listening to the report, Xu Lang sneered:

"Gone."

For this result, Xu Lang also expected it.

How can the robbers who dare to rob the Ping'an Commercial Bank really be a group of Jiangyang thieves, and they may not be the dead men behind them.

"Looking for clues around here, they must still be hiding in some wilderness."

Ping An Trading Company had a lot of goods stolen, and it was not easy to move all these things into the city.

A few days after the incident, no one in the vicinity had witnessed the robbers and goods again, and they must still be in a ravine.

This time, the main direction of their investigation is still outside the city.

As for the city, there will naturally be people from the Ping An Trading House who will check through the stolen goods.

As soon as these goods appear on the market, the news will immediately reach the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The eunuchs in flowery clothes began to get busy, and Li Xuan was not idle.

He stood on Xu Lang's shoulder, carefully observing how the eunuch in flower clothes was looking for clues.

Xu Lang rode on a horse, took out a map from his arms, unfolded it for a closer look, and compared it with the nearby terrain.

He's looking for a good place to hide nearby, and in the next few days, they'll be focusing on these suspicious areas.

Outside the city, where there are no villages, almost all of them are deep mountains and old forests.

As long as you break away from the official road, everything is almost the same scenery.

Li Xuan followed and looked at the map, wrote down the nearby terrain, and then looked at the search of the eunuchs in flowery clothes.

Speaking of which, it has to be professional to do professional things.

In less than half an hour, they found a stain of treated blood three miles away.

I don't know how the eyes of these flower-clothed eunuchs grow, and they actually dug out a handful of dark red soil.

"Captain, it's bloodstained, it's still relatively fresh."

In such a hellish place, it is hard not to think of the heads of the robbers when they find such carefully buried bloodstains.

It seems that the guards of Ping An Commercial Bank are not useless, and they also resisted accordingly, so that some of the robbers were injured.

"This method of dealing with blood stains ......"

Xu Lang twisted the blood-stained soil, his face heavy.

The other eunuchs in flowery clothes also frowned.

The other party is also very experienced in the field, and even these professionally trained eunuchs in flowery clothes are difficult to continue to track.

I just discovered that the blood-stained soil also has a lot of luck.

In the future, I am afraid that there will be no such good luck.

But just when the eunuchs in flowery clothes felt embarrassed, Li Xuan jumped off Xu Lang's shoulder, and then smelled the soil on his hands.

Xu Lang, who was having a headache, saw Li Xuan's movements, and quickly lowered his hand, so that Li Xuan could smell the smell more easily.

After Li Xuan wrote down the smell of blood in the soil, he raised his head and sniffed around, and then slowly walked in one direction.

Xu Lang immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, he knew that with Li Xuan's spiritual intelligence, he would never make senseless moves.

The other eunuchs in flowery clothes showed strange expressions.

Originally, they were thinking about whether to go back and apply for a Hound from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come back.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also has some hunting dogs that specialize in searching for traces, and the most powerful of them has the title of "blood-hunting dogs", which is an excellent helper when they come out to investigate cases.

It's just that these hounds have relatively distinctive characteristics, and they are easy for people who know the goods to see their details.

They didn't come out with the hounds in the first place, also because of this relationship.

Imperial eagle dogs.

If they are upright and upright flying eagles and running dogs, even some people in the rivers and lakes can see their identity as eunuchs in flowery clothes, and they will inevitably have some troubles at that time.

At this time, they saw that Li Xuan's cat seemed to be able to trace it, and at the same time, they were surprised, and naturally felt very strange.

"When will cats be able to do this job?"

Immediately, they remembered Zhao Feng's introduction to Li Xuan before leaving, and they also felt reasonable.

"Maybe this is a spirit animal."

Li Xuan led the way by smelling the smell in front, and the eunuchs in flowery clothes followed behind without hurry.

Soon, Li Xuan stopped, and then began to dig up the ground.

With such a picture, even the eunuchs in flowery clothes called it weird.

But the next moment, they saw that Li Xuan had actually dug out the dark red soil from the ground, which was darker than the previous pinch of soil.

The eunuchs in flower-clothed clothes all widened their eyes, and then hurriedly gathered around.

Immediately, a good hand half-knelt beside Li Xuan, and then took over his work of digging the pit, and then carefully analyzed the blood-stained soil.

"The blood stains are thicker, and some of them are not lightly injured."

After the analysis, the man immediately reported to Xu Langyu.

"Good!"

Xu Lang suddenly felt a burst of excitement, and looked at Li Xuan again with expectant eyes.

Li Xuan did not disappoint him, continued to pursue the taste, and found one place after another where the blood stains were buried.

I have to say that that group of robbers is not an ordinary person.

If it weren't for Li Xuan's ability to smell the smell of blood remaining in the soil, it would have been difficult for even the eunuchs in flowery clothes to find such clean traces in this wilderness.

At a cursory glance, there was not even a trace of blood in the vicinity.

It stands to reason that the other party is still carrying a batch of goods, and there will be some traces of wheels on the ground, but at this time, they can't see it at all.

It can be seen that these people are also professional.

But Li Xuan can always rely on the smell to find one place after another where the robbers buried their blood.

In this way, they pursued all the way, and they went farther and farther, and it was almost half a day's journey from the cross slope where the incident occurred.

And just when it was getting dark, Li Xuan took Xu Lang and chased them all the way to a stream.

Li Xuan stood by the stream, raised his head, and frowned.

"The smell of blood is gone."

Li Xuan looked at the stream in front of him, the deepest part of the stream was only up and down the knees of adults, it was crystal clear, the water trickled, and it was about two or three zhang wide.

Xu Lang saw Li Xuan stop, and he also realized something.

He half-knelt beside Li Xuan, and then asked:

"My lord, but the smell is gone?"

Li Xuan nodded, his face solemn.

This gang of robbers was really cunning, and in the end, they even used the stream to hide the smell of blood.

Li Xuan looked upstream, then downstream, and felt that it was possible on either side.

Moreover, they could not be sure where the group had broken away from the water and landed the stream.

"My lord, we'll take care of the rest."

"You take a break."

After Xu Lang finished talking to Li Xuan, he directly ordered the eunuchs in flowery clothes to disperse and search around.

But as expected, there were no useful clues left nearby.

Seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Xu Lang also ordered to camp and rest.

But when it was said that it was camping, Xu Lang and the others didn't even light the fire at all, but after arranging the light and dark sentinels, they all climbed to the trees one by one, began to eat dry food, and then began to rest.

Xu Lang originally wanted to share the jerky he brought to Li Xuan, but Li Xuan refused.

He was worried that Li Xuan would be hungry, but it turned out that Li Xuan's mouth was always chewing.

"Adults are not cows, what are you chewing in your mouth?"

Xu Lang was confused.
