If they really killed every merchant who passed by, completely cut off the trade flow between the two countries, forced the two countries to be in a hurry, and sent troops to encircle and suppress them without thinking about the consequences, then even if the great wilderness was big, they would not be able to escape death.

In the absence of a real severance of trade routes between the two countries, the two countries have no choice but to turn a blind eye.

After all, sending troops to encircle and suppress these horse thieves, thieves also need a lot of money, so save it if you can!

Because there are many horse thieves in the Great Wilderness, there are not many ordinary people living here, and they are all poor families, but they can't afford to attract the attention of these horse thieves.

Chen Yan and the others were still walking in the great wilderness full of wild grass.

Chen Yan and Zhao Lin exchanged their backs several times.

Because Fairy Xiao is a female cultivator, Old Man Zhang is older than them, so the task of flying on the grass on their backs fell on the two of them.

Although Old Man Zhang's age was not very old in the cultivation realm, if he advanced to the foundation building period, his lifespan would naturally increase greatly.

After reaching two hundred years, if you enter the Jindan period, your lifespan will also increase, and it is not a problem to live for four or five hundred years.

But Old Man Zhang is also considered to be old in this Qi refining period.

"Look, there are people in front", at this time, Zhao Lin in front exclaimed.

At this time, Chen Yan was flying on the grass on Chen Yan's back, so the task of exploring the path was naturally Zhao Lin's.

When Chen Yan and the others heard this, they immediately rushed forward and came to Zhao Lin's side.

I saw that the grass in front of me was gone, and the ground was concave downward, forming a trench, and there was a road in the middle of the trench, and at this time two groups of people were facing each other in the middle of the road.

There were hundreds of people in a group of people riding tall horses and carrying sharp scimitars.

On the other side, there were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages, and some bare special cargo vehicles, which were piled with goods, and there were quite a few people, at least two or three hundred.

There were men, women, and children, as well as some guards with steel knives, all of whom were protected at this time.

In addition to these guards, there were also some big men in gray suits, about fifty or so, who looked at the horse thieves opposite with solemn faces at this time.

Chen Yan and the others walked behind before, but they didn't find these people in front, looking at the vast barren grass in front of them, but Zhao Lin, who was walking in front, was the first to find out, "It seems that a merchant has been robbed by horse thieves, and it seems that something is being negotiated," Old Man Zhang said as he looked at the two groups of people facing each other below.

"Do you want to help them, I hate horse thieves the most in my life?" Zhao Lin looked at the two groups of people below and said with some emotion.

"Don't be too troublesome, let's take a look first", Chen Yan stopped Zhao Lin's action.

Chen Yan and the others were observing these two groups of people from above, and these two groups of people did not notice that anyone was observing them around.

There are also good martial arts among these horse thieves, but they don't notice the movement around them.

Of course, the light body technique used by Chen Yan and the others was a spell, much more clever than light skill, so they naturally couldn't find it.

At this time, these two groups of people were talking to each other at the same time.

I saw that in the middle of these two groups of people, there was a middle-aged man with a rich face who was bitterly saying to a big man with a fierce face in front of him: "Uncle Scar, you can do it."

"Let us go this time, next time, next time I will prepare more silver taels to honor your uncles, this time because of the purchase of goods, there are really only so many."

"Hmph, I said Lao Li, we are also old acquaintances, but this time the silver must be handed over, otherwise don't blame the uncle for not being emotional, I have dragged it last time, and I want to drag it this time, but I can't find death", the big man said with a fierce face, and a long scar on his face looked particularly terrifying.

"Uncle! I don't blame me, the difference between the last time has been made up this time, but why have you risen so much, where are you asking me to make it up for you?" The rich middle-aged man said with a bitter face.

"Hmph, since you don't have any money, then exchange the woman, the woman stays, and the man can go", the scar-faced man said with a smile on his face.

"Ah, no, no, this can't work!" The rich middle-aged man hurriedly returned when he saw the big man say this.

Seeing the rich middle-aged man refusing, Dahan's face changed, and he suddenly became gloomy.

Yin said in a stiff tone: "Since you don't agree, then don't blame me for being polite."

Then he stepped back, turned over on his horse, waved his big hand, and said, "Brothers, this guy doesn't want to give a woman, what should we do?"

"Kill them, rob women, kill them, rob women", a group of horse thieves behind Dahan suddenly coaxed.

"Brother Li, don't say that I don't give you face, I'm giving you a chance, this request is a direct order from our big boss, I don't want to say much, we have cooperated more than once, I don't want anything unpleasant to happen this time, think about it"!

The fierce man said stiffly.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the rich middle-aged man's face changed, and he hurriedly retreated back.

Directly retreated to a carriage, and hurriedly said to one of the guards: "Quickly invite Cao Darttou and say that I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes, sir," the guard said, hurrying to the back of the carriage.

Before coming to the carriage, there was a jujube red horse riding next to the carriage, with a Chinese face, his eyebrows slightly upturned, and a very majestic face and said: "Cao Darttou, my lord invites you over."

"Well, got it".

After Cao Darttou finished speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the rich middle-aged man.

"Cao Darthead, the matter has not been negotiated, my escort team may not be able to deal with it, it seems that I am going to trouble you" The rich middle-aged man saw Cao Darthead coming over and hurriedly said.

"Well, since Master Li, you hired us to Chang'an Dart Bureau, that is a trust in us, and we will do our best, but I hope that Master Li can hand over these guards to me, after all, the number of these horse thieves this time is a bit large!"

"This is no problem, even if Cao Darthead uses it, they are all going to fight against horse thieves, and it would be better to have Cao Darthead in command", the rich middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Zhao, go to the front and call Commander Lin, I have something to say", the rich middle-aged man immediately said to a guard beside him.

"Yes, sir," the guard said, trotting forward.

"Commander Lin, the lord has something to order, tell you to come over," the guard said as he ran to the front of a young man wearing silver chain armor and was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

"Got it, you stay here, what are the movements of the horse thief in front, tell me as soon as possible", the young man nodded and then walked to the back of the convoy.

"Yes, Commander."

Looking at the departing Commander Lin, the guard's eyes were full of envy, this Commander Lin had already reached the cultivation of the third order of the day after tomorrow at a young age, which was also the capital for him to be able to become a commander.

Thinking of this, the guard sighed slightly, and then refocused his gaze on the horse thief in front of him.

"Sir, you call me?" said the young man after coming to the rich middle-aged man to give a salute.
