When Cheng Dalei was in charge of Toad Village, he had been sending people to collect intelligence from all aspects. Of course he did not ignore the Rong people, but he had little success in this regard.
The key is that the Rong tribe is not organized. There are hundreds of tribes scattered on the grassland. Today one tribe will wipe out that tribe, and two days later several small tribes will appear. The situation is extremely complicated.
Cao Shangfei's life was very bad. He didn't dare to rob Rong tribes that were too big, and there was really nothing to rob from tribes that were too small. He mainly made a living by robbing passing traders, but there were no caravans on the grassland recently.
.
After seeing Cheng Dalei, he had no intention of resisting. He only hoped to send the plague god away as soon as possible. He told Cheng Dalei everything he knew, but there was indeed no useful information. But Yan Bu
He had never heard of Gui's name.
Cheng Dalei was a little disappointed after hearing this. He had expected to get some useful information from Fei Caoshang, but he still found nothing.
"If Mr. Cheng wants to inquire about news, why don't you go to the royal city of the Rong clan and ask? There are many people there, so it's easy to inquire about anyone." Cao Shangfei hoped in his heart that Cheng Dalei would leave early.
It is not that Cheng Dalei has never thought about this. However, he and Little White Wolf, no matter how they dress up, they don't look like the Rong tribe. Entering the Rong tribe's den is not revenge, but a direct suicide.
By this time, Cheng Dalei finally understood the difficulty of this matter. It was not easy to find someone on the vast grassland, and he did not have the courage to enter the royal city of the Rong clan alone.
Seeing that Cheng Dalei remained silent, Cao Shangfei asked tentatively: "Master Cheng has decided to go to the royal city to explore?"
Cheng Dalei is not crazy yet. He waved his hands and sighed: "I won't go to the royal city of the Rong tribe. As you know, they don't welcome me very much. I will stay with you for a few days."
"How many days..." Cao Shangfei immediately opened his eyes wide with bitterness on his face.
"What, you're not happy?"
"Happy, happy. Being able to stay here with Mr. Cheng is really a blessing that I have accumulated over eight lifetimes and cultivated by my ancestors."
"Don't be too happy. You can help me inquire around the area these days. I'm not picky about food and accommodation, as long as it's passable." Cheng Dalei said casually: "Go down and get ready."
Fei Caoshang forced a smile, which was uglier than crying. When he walked out of the house, his face immediately drooped. He cursed and cursed, and felt extremely unhappy in his heart. He didn't know what kind of bad luck he had, to end up like this.
Waiting for the evil star. Now, Cao Shangfei can only comfort himself. After all, at least he did not kill himself with a sword.
It’s not that Cheng Dalei took a fancy to the place Fei Caoshang. In fact, Cheng Dalei suffered a lot from living in the open air from south to north. That is to say, he wanted to take advantage of Fei Caoshang to recuperate his spirit and slowly collect the information on the grassland.
information.
"Brother, do we really allow him to be so arrogant and domineering here? Why don't we brothers work together and do it to him?" As soon as Cao Shangfei walked out of the house, he was greeted by his men.
"Hey, shut up." Cao Shangfei was startled, looked around, and lowered his voice: "Don't say this anymore. If you fight with him, your life will be long. No matter how many times we have more people, it may not be him."
Take action."
"Are you really going to tolerate him like this? I really can't swallow this tone of voice."
"You have to swallow even if you can't. Do you think I can bear it? There's nothing you can do about it."
Cao Shangfei was dejected and unhappy in his heart, but he had to smile at Cheng Dalei. He treated Cheng Dalei to good food, drink and good service, and at the same time sent people to gather information for Cheng Dalei.
Cao Shangfei had only fifty or sixty men, but they were enough to rob a caravan. This time Cao Shangfei acted in person, hoping to get some useful information and send Cheng Dalei away as soon as possible.
But in the vast grassland, apart from jackals and wild wolves, there was not even a single person to be seen, let alone anyone to inquire about any information.
At dusk, Cao Shangfei rested under a big tree, chewing dry food and cursing.
"Boss, when will this day end? My brothers have had enough."
"You feel uncomfortable, don't I feel uncomfortable too, but what can I do?"
Just as he was talking, Cao Shangfei saw a group of people passing by on tall horses. Everyone was dressed in rich clothes. Although they were dusty, they could still tell that they came from a wealthy family.
Cao Shangfei really wanted to rob the other party, but when he saw the iron sword the other party was carrying, he gave up the idea.
"Let's just take it one day at a time now. When Cheng Dalei leaves, we will get through it." Cao Shangfei let out a long sigh.
Originally, the group of people had already passed by them, but suddenly they turned around again, and the leader said fiercely: "Who were you talking about just now?"
"Cheng Dalei, what's wrong?" Cao Shangfei was startled, then reacted and said immediately: "Who are you, why are you asking me this?"
The group of people looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. They were the group of Zhong Mushan who had chased them all the way from Langya City.
After entering the grassland, they encountered the same trouble as Cheng Dalei. The grassland was so big that it was not easy to find someone. However, they had better luck than Cheng Dalei, and they accidentally met a group of people flying on the grass.
Zhong Mushan asked: "Where is Cheng Dalei? Tell me quickly?"
"Do you have any grudge against Cheng Dalei?"
Cao Shangfei's eyes lit up, maybe this group of people had a grudge against Cheng Dalei. But then he thought about it, these people may not be Cheng Dalei's opponents. If they couldn't kill Cheng Dalei, they would get themselves involved instead.
The current situation is indeed bad, but that doesn't mean it can't be worse.
"Of course I know where Master Cheng's family is, but I will never tell you." Cao Shangfei snorted coldly, looking very tough.
If Zhong Mushan's original temper was to be followed, he would have drawn his sword at that time. However, they have suffered a lot along the way, and they are no longer fledglings.
Zhong Mushan held down his companion who was about to move, made a bow to the grass, and then left with him.
Cao Shangfei looked at their retreating figures and shouted, "Let's go back."
A group of people set foot on the road back to the village. Their men stood behind the Pegasus on the grass and said: "Boss, they are following you. Why don't you get rid of them?"
Since he dares to be called a horse bandit, his riding skills are pretty good. However, Cao Shangfei waved his hand and said, "No, just pretend you didn't see me and let them follow."
All the way back to the old nest, Cao Shangfei went to see Cheng Dalei first. Cheng Dalei moved a chair and sat outside to bask in the sun. When Cao Shangfei came back, he asked, "How is it? Did you get any useful information today?"
