The camp was filled with laughter, but Zhao Xin had a sad look on his face. He drank one drink after another, and even after a bottle of wine, he didn't feel drunk at all. Conversations inside could be heard occasionally, and the matter of founding the country seemed to be denied. Not only was there no founding of the country,
, Su Ren also gave Jingji an idea to protect the caravan. From Jincheng to Shanshan, all merchants passing by had to pay a 10% escort fee, which made the vulgar guys in the big tent very happy.
Someone came to send a message and asked Xin Zhao to deliver the antidote to Su Ren's men. Xin Zhao then stood up and threw the wine gourd into the fire. The alcohol concentration of the wine was too low to burn, but it suppressed a small amount of fire.
.Walking in the darkness, Xin Zhao wrapped his whole body in fur tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes. The cry of the night owl was very pitiful, and it spread far and wide with the wind.
Xin Zhao did not lead any soldiers and walked alone in the dark night, with only his shadow following him. Under a big tree, Xin Zhao stopped and shook his head to sober up. After taking a few breaths, he rubbed his face hard with his hands.
After a few moments, he continued towards Su Ren's camp.
Hawking has been let down, and everyone who was originally being helped has also let go. Looking at the guy who came to deliver medicine, Hawking's eyes were full of anger. If Gou Tianming and Shi Bao hadn't stopped him, Hawking would have
This guy tore it apart. The others were almost the same. Everyone felt bad after suffering such a big loss. Now that Su Ren is still in his hands, even though he is a friend, he can't protect him. For the sake of the large amount of goods here, who knows?
What can those guys do?
Huang Shisan and Man Niu wanted to break into the camp, but facing several heavily armed horse thieves, they couldn't get close even if they tried their best. The laughter in the camp was still there, but when it reached their ears,
blown away by the cold wind.
Just under the tree where Zhao Xin went to Su Ren camp to sober up, a black shadow came out of the forest, stayed for a blink of an eye, and then disappeared again. This man moved very quickly, and if he didn't pay attention, no one would be able to
I couldn't find it. When everything returned to normal again, A Xun appeared under the tree with a lean man. I looked at the tree. It was thick and tall, in sharp contrast with the low shrubs nearby. It was like this.
It takes not only 100 years but also 80 years for a tree like this to grow.
Looking around, Ah Xun said, "Can you keep up?"
The lean man chuckled: "No one has ever disappeared before my eyes. The smell on that guy is very strange, like sandalwood but with a musk smell. He must not be able to escape."
Ah Xun sniffed with his nose: "Why can't I smell it?"
Winged Tiger said: "You don't understand these things, so naturally you can't smell it. Don't worry, he can't escape."
"Understood!" The winged tiger agreed, ducking into the bushes.
Ah Xun took a deep breath. This time, as Su Ren's peripheral, he had already discovered Jingji's men when Su Ren settled down. However, out of trust in Jingji, he did not report to Su Ren and watched Jingji's people helplessly.
He poisoned Su Ren's water source, and saw that Jingji sent people to kill all of Su Ren's men. Although he secretly did some help to prevent Su Ren and others from being poisoned, this kind of negligence cannot be tolerated.
Su Ren hasn't come back from the thorns yet, and A Xun's heart is still in his throat. Su Ren has learned what will happen to him when he gets angry, he already learned it in Chang'an. He knows very well what life is worse than death. It is said that those people in Maoling have already
They were not among the first group to go, not because they were released, but because they died. They were tired of living. He knew many of them.
Sitting in the bushes on the roadside, Ah Xun took a short rest. In addition, he wanted to see if the guy would leave anything here when he came back. He closed his eyes and took a nap while listening to the movement on the road. It was very interesting.
Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard. Ah Xun opened his eyes and took a look. It was not the guy just now, but Hong Cheng. This fat businessman had always been the object of their attention.
Hongcheng was sneaky and did not take the main road. Instead, he emerged from the thatch pile next to him. His fat body made him pant constantly. After his head emerged from the thatch pile, his pair of eyes kept looking in both directions. This guy is very careful.
, until he was sure that there was no danger, he slowly straightened up and came over. He groped around the roots of the tree, but didn't seem to find anything. Hong Cheng looked anxious.
After touching for a long time and confirming that there was nothing, Hong Cheng turned around and quickly got into the pile of thatch. A Xun wanted to follow him, but before he got up, there were footsteps again. This time the footsteps were not loud.
He held it gently again, more like walking normally, and Xin Zhao's figure appeared.
When he came under the tree, Xin Zhao pretended to be sober again. He put one hand into the hole of the tree and took it out immediately. The expression on his face relaxed immediately. Like Hong Cheng, Xin Zhao also looked around a few times to make sure
nobody.
"Cough cough cough!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Hong Cheng's head emerged from the thatch. After Zhao Xin noticed it, he followed him as if nothing had happened. Ah Xun found it funny. The two of them were much simpler than when they met. According to Su Ren's instructions, the connection between Tiangang and Disha was very
It’s complicated. Apart from the few he knows, such as Zhi Duoxing, Leopard Head, Flower Monk and the winged tiger just now, he doesn’t know what the rest of them look like. It is said that this is to prevent being caught in one fell swoop, and the two in front of him
Apparently there is no such concern.
After following the two men for a while, they stopped at a small river. Ah Xun tried to get as close as possible. The sound of the river was a bit noisy, but it hid his whereabouts very well. The conversation between the two was clearly heard.
"How is it? I don't doubt you, right?" Xin Zhao spoke first.
"Probably not. My identity has always been a merchant. It can be traced back to five years ago, when Su Ren was still in Wenshui. How about you."
Xin Zhao sighed: "This time there is some risk, and Su Ren may have suspected it. From now on, I will rely on you."
Hong Cheng nodded: "Do you want to report this to Juzi?"
"I have already sent it out. While we are waiting for news from the giant, it is best for the two of us to remain silent to avoid Su Ren becoming suspicious."
"We will arrive at Yumen Pass in a few days, and there is no movement from King Xiutu. Could it be that the people sent by the giant failed to persuade him? There are a thousand guards here, and it will be even more difficult to go to the Western Regions."
"There is nothing we can do about it. I originally planned to use poison, but in the end I was denied by that Thorn. If I use poison, even if not all of them can be poisoned, I can still kill a lot of them. When the time comes, what we want to see is the fall between Thorn and Su Ren."
Arrived."
"Why do you want me to do this?"
Xin Zhao quickly said: "No, it's not easy to break into the caravan. If we fail, we will completely cut off their whereabouts, which will be even worse for us. After I go back, I will encourage Thorns to have a foothold in the caravan. When the time comes,
Even if the thorns don't want to do it, they can't help it."
Ah Xun heard the conversation between the two people clearly. Many things in it were ambiguous, but Ah Xun could judge the two people's plans. With these things, Su Ren always seemed to understand their purpose.
I didn't expect to get it here. The following words are meaningless. Ah Xun waited for Zhao Xin and Hong Cheng to leave before coming out of his hiding place. With these secrets in mind, maybe Su Ren can let him go again.
Su Ren was drunk and passed out. When Lao Heita and Hua Baozi handed Su Ren over to Huang Shisan and Man Niu, their mouths were split behind the ears. They laughed and told Huang Shisan: "Su Ren
My husband's drinking capacity is too bad, he is not like a man, he is even worse than a woman."
Huang Shisan glared at Old Heita. Hua Leopard hurriedly said with a smile: "You two should send Mr. Su back quickly. The wind is strong at night, and Mr. Su drank so much wine, he will not get well if he is sick."
Jingjiang drank a lot, but he was still clear. He picked up the wine bottle and took another sip, and said with a smile: "This kid is pretending to be drunk and wants to run away. Could it be that I will really kill him?"
The ivy smiled and said: "The wolf master and Mr. Su are friends, how can we do that kind of thing? However, this time we have tricked Mr. Su, he will not..."
"What can't be done? If I want his things, I only need to open my mouth and play with him, what's the point? Besides, he didn't kill his person, how could he dare to win with me? If I hadn't let him go in Shu County
Yima, he is already dead now, you tricked me into going to that place where no one can shit, what did I say?"
"Yes, yes, the wolf master is right. Mr. Su and the wolf master are good friends, so it doesn't matter!" The ivy quickly apologized.
Zhao Xin happened to hear this, opened the curtain and walked in: "Lord Wolf and Mr. Su are good friends. Why don't you go to the Western Regions with Mr. Su? We got a lot of things from the Huns, and the Han people bought the rest.
It's of no use in our hands, it would be more cost-effective to follow Mr. Su to the Western Regions and sell it."
Thorns slapped his thigh: "Hey! What the military advisor said is right. Why didn't I think of it? Mr. Su can't do anything else. He is definitely the best in the world in business. That's it. I'll go talk to him early tomorrow morning."
Su Ren got off the back of the bull after leaving the thorn camp for half a mile. He glanced back and patted the bull on the back: "Put me down. Lao Huang goes to find Shi Yu and ask him to come see me immediately.
There are so many horse thieves around us but we don't report them. We also inform everyone that we will set off overnight and it is not advisable to stay here for a long time."
"Then you!"
"It's okay. Thorns hasn't meant to attack me so far, but it's better to stay away from them. Thirty thousand horse thieves will become the focus of attention wherever they go. It's best for us to stay far away from them to be safe."
Before Huang Shisan left, Ah Xun suddenly appeared. This frightened Su Ren so much that he immediately woke up from the wine and kicked Ah Xun on the chest: "You still have the nerve to come see me?
?What's going on? I was almost killed by you. If you dare to make your own decisions in the future, you know the consequences."
Ah Xun lowered his head and knelt on the ground: "The villain is negligent, please punish me sir, but before I die, I have important information to tell sir."
"Hey!" Su Ren sighed: "Get up, I can't blame you for this. Who knew that Thorns actually took in that Xin Zhao? I'll talk about it when I go back. I still don't feel safe here." (To be continued)
