At dawn on the third day, the cavalry team of Shacheng that had escorted the caravan all the way left directly, and Xiao Suifeng and the others also set out on the road again after breakfast, heading west. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, Xiao is walking along the grassland, but the weather is also changeable. The group went all the way to the west, and the weather was still sunny in the morning, but just after noon, it became a strong wind again, and the sky was gloomy in the blink of an eye.

Most of the goods in this caravan were silk, tea, and spices, all of which could not be wet, and although they were wrapped in several layers of tarpaulin, they were still not safe enough to let the rain fall.

The caravan of goods, for the caravan owner, can be said to be his entire net worth, compared to human life is obviously much more valuable, the caravan owner is naturally unwilling to make any mistakes in the goods.

Therefore, seeing that the sky suddenly became gloomy, the owner of the caravan became anxious and asked him to arrange for camp and set up tents.

Although Li Zheng is only the leader of the guards, he is also responsible for a lot of chores, and the camping is naturally among them.

This Li Zheng is also a thoughtful person, although the owner of the caravan is already anxious and his head is about to bubble, but Li Zheng is not in a hurry and impatient, and finds a leeward hill, which is what makes people camp.

Seeing that the wind was getting more and more urgent, and the sky was getting darker and darker, everyone, regardless of whether they were guards or coachmen and servants, were all involved in the matter of setting up camp.

This is not that Xiao Suifeng is arrogant, Xiao Suifeng naturally doesn't mind helping, after all, he is also a member of this caravan, but Li Zheng obviously saw the difference between Xiao Suifeng, after accepting Xiao Suifeng as a member of the caravan, although he was very polite and friendly to Xiao Suifeng, he had been deliberately keeping a distance.

Li Zheng is also clear about the purpose of Xiao Suifeng's trip, but he does not reject it.

Because Li Zheng knew very well that whether the caravan he was in would be attacked by horse thieves was not something that Xiao Suifeng could control, Xiao Suifeng's presence or absence had nothing to do with whether the horse thieves came or not. Horse thieves will always encounter them when they have to come. If it is destined not to meet a horse thief, then even if there are a few more people like Xiao Suifeng in the caravan with other purposes, they will not be able to meet a horse thief.

It was for such a reason that Li Zhengcai agreed to Guo Qian'an's request and inserted Xiao Suifeng into the caravan.

However, although for the sake of Guo Qianan and others, Li Zheng was very polite and respectful to Xiao Suifeng, but he was still unwilling to get too close to Xiao Suifeng, so as not to get into trouble.

Li Zheng has such an attitude, and Xiao Suifeng naturally doesn't insist on anything more.

The weather is getting more and more gloomy, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, Xiao Suifeng walked up the hill alone, looking at the past from afar, between the grassland and the sky in the distance, it is already a black oppression, giving people an extremely heavy and gloomy feeling, think about it, it is already raining.

"In this kind of weather, the horse thief, I'm afraid it won't appear. ”

Xiao Suifeng thought so silently, and was about to go down from the hill, but suddenly saw a few people and horses faintly appearing in the grassland in the distance, which immediately aroused Xiao Suifeng's vigilance.

At this moment, Xiao Suifeng has already penetrated deep into the depths of Wangshan Plain, in this kind of place, ordinary pedestrians have rarely appeared, and those who appear on this trade road are either merchants or horse thieves, and there are almost no other possibilities.

And right now, a few people in the distance are alone in this wilderness, and the biggest possibility is naturally horse thieves. Although it was a long distance, Xiao Suifeng couldn't really see it, but Xiao Suifeng could feel that those people were staring at him, thinking about it, they were staring at the horse thieves in his own line.

It's just that Xiao Suifeng doesn't know whether these code words came from here, and whether they are the black fox's people.

Xiao Suifeng thought in his heart, and after a little hesitation, he turned around and went down the hill.

Li Zheng's thoughts, Xiao Suifeng naturally understands, although Xiao Suifeng really wants to find the black fox and inquire about Shen Lun's news, but around this sand city, there are not only black fox horse thieves, so whether or not you can meet the black fox horse thief is indeed a matter of luck.

At the moment, although Xiao Suifeng found out that the horse thief seemed to have set his sights on the caravan he was in, Xiao Suifeng did not know whether the horse thief was the person of the black fox or not.

Therefore, after going down the hill, Xiao Suifeng did not hesitate too much, just walked over directly and found Li Zheng, who was directing everyone to build a camp.

"We seem to be being targeted by horse thieves. Xiao Suifeng didn't beat around the bush, and as soon as he saw Li Zheng, he spoke directly.

Li Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then his brows furrowed, "Where is it?"

Xiao Suifeng stretched out his hand and pointed, "Just behind that hill, I saw four rangers, probably spies of horse thieves. ”

Li Zhengnai is active in this Wangshan Plain all the year round, whether it was as a border army in Shacheng before, or later as a guard for the passing caravans, it is indispensable to deal with horse thieves, and the habits of horse thieves are naturally very clear.

When horse thieves attack a caravan, there are generally two situations, one is to target early, and then wait for the opportunity to attack suddenly. In this case, most of the sources of the horse thieves are the eyeliners planted in the caravans or inside the city, and in this case, the targets are generally large caravans with rich oil and water.

In addition to this, there is naturally a second kind.

If the first case is a purposeful selection of the object of plunder, then the second is random.

In the Wangshan Plain, there are countless scattered rangers, most of these rangers are spies of the horse thieves, they move around the trade road, report the basic situation of the caravan they find to the horse thieves of the brigade, and guide the horse thieves to attack.

Such horse thieves are generally in groups of four or five, and Li Zheng has dealt with such horse thieves more than once, so he naturally knows everything about it, so when he heard Xiao Suifeng's discovery, he immediately made the same judgment as Xiao Suifeng.

Since the vanguard rangers of horse thieves have appeared, it means that they have been targeted by horse thieves, and the arrival of a large group of horse thieves is only a matter of time. (To be continued.) )
