Chapter 229: The Horse Thief (1/5)

The news obtained from Liu Guangyuan, although it was more detailed than the archives in Shacheng, did not have much value to Xiao Suifeng, and there was no additional information. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are only two things that can really be called useful information.

First, it was Shen Lun's gang back then, although most of them were killed by the border army, but there were indeed a small number of them who escaped from the army. The second is whether Shen Lun is really dead. According to Liu Guangyuan, it was true that some border soldiers saw Shen Lun killed, and after the killing, they cleaned up the battlefield and indeed found a suspected body of Shen Lun, so this incident was directly recorded as Shen Lun's killing.

But since Liu Guangyuan said that it was suspicious, it means that there is obviously something wrong with the corpse.

According to Liu Guangyuan, the corpse that was identified as Shen Lun, whether it was in shape, clothing, or later identified by the captive, could be identified as Shen Lun. However, the face of the corpse was mostly destroyed, so it was not so real, and it could only be easily identified from other sources.

Hearing Liu Guangyuan's words, Xiao Suifeng's doubts in his heart were naturally even worse, and in his heart, he was even faintly excited.

Xiao Suifeng's excitement is naturally not that Shen Lun may not be dead, whether Shen Lun is dead or alive is naturally unrelated to Xiao Suifeng before, but if Shen Lun is not dead, then the clues of the old case can be traced down, which is what Xiao Suifeng is excited about.

It's just that after Liu Guangyuan provided this information, he was never able to provide other valuable information, and he didn't know whether Shen Lun was dead or alive, and where Shen Lun's defeated gangsters ended up.

However, Liu Guangyuan provided Xiao Suifeng with another direction to pursue.

According to Liu Guangyuan, there were four relatively large horse thieves who were active with Shen Lun near Shacheng back then, among which Shen Lun's group was the first to be killed by the imperial army, and a few years later, another horse bandit was also exterminated by the Dakang army.

As for the remaining two, they were not exterminated by the army, but one of them was swallowed up by the rest of the horse bandits, and disappeared a few years ago.

And the only remaining horse thief, the leader is named Black Fox, because of his cunning nature, sure enough, although he has been active around Sand City for one or two decades, he has faced the encirclement and suppression of the Sand City army several times, but he has been able to escape again and again.

According to Liu Guangyuan, Shen Lun and the black fox were both among the four great horse thieves around Shacheng back then, and although the relationship between the two was competitive, they also had an extremely close connection. If Shen Lun is really not dead, then now in this Wangshan Plain, if anyone else can know the whereabouts of Shen Lun, I am afraid that there is really only the black fox.

Moreover, even if Shen Lun is really dead, the whereabouts of Shen Lun's subordinates can only be known, and I am afraid that only the black fox is the same. If the black fox didn't know any news that Xiao Suifeng wanted to know, I am afraid that in the entire Wangshan Plain, Xiao Suifeng would really not get any news.

After Xiao Suifeng heard Liu Guangyuan's words, he couldn't help but be silent.

Speaking of this trip to Sand City, for Xiao Suifeng, the most valuable thing is probably the news about the black fox.

In fact, according to Xiao Suifeng's original plan, after inquiring about the old border army in Shacheng, Xiao Suifeng was also ready to go deep into the Nawang Mountain Plains and continue to investigate in the area where Shen Lun had been active back then.

And the current Liu Guangyuan's statement is to point out a clear method for Xiao Suifeng, speaking of which, it not only coincides with Xiao Suifeng's thoughts, but also saves Xiao Suifeng a lot of effort and facilitates Xiao Suifeng's actions.

Xiao Suifeng thought about the clues of the old case, and then did not stay in the sand city for long, only rested for one night, and set off on the road again early the next morning.

According to the information provided by Liu Guangyuan, Shen Lun and the black fox that are still active back then are all west of Shacheng.

In the Wangshan Plain, the reason why there are many horse thieves is mainly because of the complex environment of the Wangshan Plain and the weakness of the control power of the imperial court, but the reason why the horse thieves appear is, in the final analysis, because there is oil and water to rob in the Wangshan Plain.

The horse thieves in the Wangshan Plains did not do the most to plunder towns and villages. Although there are ordinary towns and villages in this Wangshan Plain, most of them are extremely barren and have no oil and water at all, and these ordinary villages and towns are simply not enough to feed this huge number of horse thieves.

Under the area controlled by Dakang, those towns and villages are attached to a lot, but because they are guarded by the Dakang army and go deep into the hinterland controlled by the Dakang court, the risk of looting is also much greater, and it is naturally not enough to raise so many horse thieves.

In the Wangshan Plain, the reason why there are so many horse bandits, in the final analysis, is because there are several trade routes in the Wangshan Plain, which is to feed a large number of horse thieves.

In today's Great Wilderness, the richest region is naturally the hinterland of the Central Plains occupied by the Central Plains Huaxia Dynasty, but this great wilderness world is obviously not only the Central Plains Dynasty, a powerful dynasty.

The Central Plains Dynasty and the Sanda alien race are not to mention that they are west of the Wangshan Plain, and the direction of the Tianshan Mountain Range, which is almost separated from the east and west worlds, also has a civilization that is very mysterious to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Although these two civilizations were isolated because of the existence of the huge Tianshan Mountain Range, what was isolated was only the official exchanges and the collision of civilizations. Those merchants who chased interests had already established commercial exchanges between the two civilizations, and by virtue of the communication between the two civilizations, they bought low and sold high, earning huge profits.

From the Central Plains Dynasty to the world west of the Tianshan Mountains, there were two major trade routes.

The first is to go to the north, through the grasslands and thousands of miles of quicksand, around the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains, to the western world. And the second mountain road is from Wangshan Plain, at the western end of the Yunling Mountains, along the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, from the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains.

These two trade routes are extremely far away in terms of distance, and in terms of danger, they also need to go through a thousand difficulties and dangers, so the people who choose the two trade routes can be said to be half and half. (To be continued.) )
