After eating and drinking, Chu Tianjiao took out from his Qiankun bag a rough map of the northwest drawn by mercenaries that he had bought when buying a tent. After a quick glance, he determined the direction for tomorrow.
She had followed this caravan all the way before just to confuse He Lanji, but now that she was halfway out of the caravan, she naturally no longer had to be their tail.
He casually set up a barrier outside the tent, wrapped his blanket tightly, closed his eyes, and said three words without politeness, "Dan, stay vigil!"
Time passes and the full moon rises.
In the tent, Chu Tianjiao, who was sleeping peacefully, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
Ever since she left the palace, she had always been careful even when sleeping. Just now she clearly felt a strange vibration on the ground beneath her - it was the sound of horse hooves trampling on the earth, and there were quite a few of them.
"Don't make a sound!" Dan was lifting the curtain to look out. When he heard her voice, he immediately reminded her in a low voice.
Carefully reaching over and opening the curtain, Chu Tianjiao squinted his eyes slightly and looked to the northwest, only to see a dark shadow in the night quickly approaching the camp of the caravan in front.
Although the night is very dark, it does not cause much trouble to a mystic master like Chu Tianjiao, especially after possessing the Vine of Immortality, her sensing power is also increasing.
"It seems like a horse thief!" Dan's low voice came to his ears.
"There are a lot of people!" Chu Tianjiao raised his fingers and rubbed his nose that was a little sore from the night wind, "They should be coming for the caravan in front!"
This place is no longer a part of the empire. Due to the Helanji cavalry in the northwest county, most of the previous horse thieves were wiped out. In order to avoid this fate, some of the more powerful ones had to run out of the country to survive.
Chu Tianjiao and Dan were just a carriage, so it was impossible for them to attract so many horse thieves. The only explanation was that they came for the caravan in front of them.
"What should we do?!" Dan asked softly.
Chu Tianjiao casually took out the jujube wine made from anatomy from the Qiankun bag, took a sip, and lazily uttered two words, "Onlookers!"
Dan was stunned for a moment, then he felt relieved and sat down next to her, becoming the second onlooker in a cooperative manner.
While the two of them were drinking and watching, the horse thieves had already launched the first round of attack.
Accompanied by the sound of hissing through the air, countless arrows flew towards the caravan's camp.
