When it got dark, the team stopped to camp, and Liu Wenxuan took Zhao Yi away first.

Several sets of clothes of the Wutuo people had been prepared in the caravan. After Qin Xiao and Dapeng put on the clothes of the Wutuo herdsmen, they would not have recognized them as Tang people from the pass unless they took a closer look.

The two of them packed up and set off towards West Wind Castle without any further delay.

The caravan is now where the Wutuo people are grazing. Everyone knows that Huangxi Deathwing is bold, but it is not easy to come here again. After all, once the Wutuo people find the trace, they will definitely gather troops to pursue it.

If you don't give up, Huangxi Death Wing is just asking for trouble.

The two set out overnight, covering dozens of miles in one breath, and entered the Wutuo grazing area.

The territory of the Wutuo Khanate is actually very vast. Although the eight tribes of Wutuo are the main body, there are many tribes under it. In just a few decades, the lifestyle of many tribes has not completely changed, and they still maintain their original style.

Habit.

The area controlled by the White Wolf tribe is not small, but the Gobi desert occupies a large area. In addition, there are herdsmen grazing, which is roughly the same as the lifestyle of the Wutuo people.

As people walked through the vast wilderness at night, they would pass by shepherds' camps from time to time, but these were just a few scattered tents. They did not disturb them. The shepherds seemed to be used to people running in the wilderness and did not care.

The two of them walked almost non-stop, and at dusk the next day, the outline of the mountains vaguely appeared in front of them. Qin Xiao opened the map, and it was clearly drawn on it. He said to Dapeng: "Brother Dapeng, in front of you is Langtu Mountain.

Looking at the map, the road is not short, but the mountain roads there are rugged and difficult to walk. We may not be able to cross Langtu Mountain tonight."

"I have heard of Langtu Mountain." Dapeng said: "In the early years, the caravans going west would change their colors when they heard about Langtu Mountain. It was the most dangerous place on the way to Tangren City. It stretched for dozens of miles and the road was really rough.

Since it is easy to walk, many extremely vicious people use Langtu Mountain as a hunting ground."

"How is the situation now?"

"The Wutuo people sent troops to clear out many times and got rid of many groups of horse bandits hanging around Langtu Mountain." Dapeng said: "Now there are very few horse bandits in Langtu Mountain, but if you are not lucky, you will still encounter them.

Get some wild dogs hunting for wild food.”

"Hunting for wild food?"

"There are also many people in Wutuo who cannot survive." Dapeng explained: "The brave ones will gather together and ambush in the mountains, looking for opportunities to attack. There are not many of them, and they do not dare to move during the day.

, often a few people lurk there at night. If they see a lone or weak pedestrian, they will rush out to steal the money. The caravan calls these wild dogs, which is a mockery. They are not as fierce as horse thieves.

, I can only bully the weak and pick up some bones to eat."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "This is quite vivid." After a pause, he said: "Brother Dapeng, we have been traveling all day. Even if we enter Langtu Mountain tonight, we will not be able to get out. What I mean is,

At first light tomorrow, we will go into the mountain again. The view will be good then, and as you said, we will not encounter wild dogs again. We can definitely get out of Langtu Mountain in one day."

"Do as you say." Dapeng nodded, looked around, raised his hand and pointed to the south: "Brother Wang, look over there, there are several tents, how about we borrow them over there tonight?

Stay one night.”

Qin Xiao said: "Is that the tent of the Wutuo herdsmen?"

"Don't worry, although we have fought with the Wutuo people, not all the Wutuo people are extremely vicious." Dapeng said with a smile: "The Wutuo herdsmen are all very hospitable and warm to others. We are not

Bring a tent. If you sleep in the grass here at night, your face will be covered in bloody bumps from insect bites tomorrow morning. Don't underestimate the poisonous insects here. They are very fierce. Some poisonous insects can even kill people.

.”

"So fierce?"

"I'm not being alarmist. Some people were killed by poisonous insects in the past." Dapeng said: "If you don't go into the mountains tonight, you have to find a shepherd to stay overnight. They live here and know how to deal with poisonous insects." He pointed to the tent over there.

: "It looks like a simple tent, but the place where they set up their tent is smoked with medicinal materials, so the snakes and insects don't dare to come near. When the caravan camped on this grassland, sometimes they didn't bring any medicine, and they had to buy it from them.

They are also willing to take in scattered travelers like us, and just leave some money with them before leaving."

Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "Brother Dapeng, although we are wearing the clothes of the Wutuo people, our appearance shows that we are not from them. Will they leak the news if we stay here?"

"You see, the water plants here are not very lush." ​​Dapeng has some experience: "So the herdsmen here are definitely not from the Wutuo tribe, they are just a very small tribe. There are only five or six tents there in total, and at most

There are just a few families of herdsmen. They are the most ordinary people in Wutuo. They don't know any powerful people. Moreover, this place is relatively remote. Not to mention that they don't know how to report the news. Even if they do report the news, there will be nowhere to report it for the time being.

." He glanced at Qin Xiao and said with a smile: "They live here, which is still a long way from Tangren City. I'm afraid they don't even know what's going on in Tangren City. For them, the sun rises and the sun sets.

This is life, there is no need to cause trouble."

Qin Xiao knew that what Dapeng said was true, so he nodded and said: "In that case, let's go over there and stay overnight."

The two of them rode towards the tent and saw dozens of cattle and sheep near the tent from a distance. Several shepherds were grazing there. Near the edge of the tent, an old shepherd in his early fifties stared at the two of them and waited for them.

After getting off the horse, the old shepherd bowed and bowed, and Dapeng also bowed and said: "Old man, we are Tang people from Guan Nei. We are going to meet up with our caravan. It is getting late and we dare not enter the mountain.

I want to stay here for a night, is it convenient?"

The old shepherd looked up at the sky, showed a kind smile, and said in half-baked Central Plains dialect: "It's dark, don't go into the mountains, just stay here for the night." He added, "I'll find someone to set up a tent for you.

." Without saying much, he went straight to the side of the sheep.

"Do you know he can speak Chinese dialect?"

Dapeng smiled and said: "In front of us is Langtu Mountain. We are not the only ones who dare not enter the mountain at night. Look at their camp. It is not temporary. They should have been here for a long time. There must have been many people there before.

It's natural for them to learn a few Chinese words while staying here."

Qin Xiao thought that it was right to team up with Dapeng. Dapeng was relatively introverted, but his observations were meticulous and experienced. If it were Zhao Yi, he might not be so careful.

The two tied up their horses. The old shepherd had already brought three young shepherds over. The young shepherds carried the tent, nodded and smiled at Qin Xiao without saying a word, and began to set up the tent nearby. They were quick with their hands and feet.

, the movements are skillful, and it seems that he often does this kind of thing.

"There have been very few caravans passing by here recently." The old shepherd brought two bowls of goat milk over. "After setting up the tent, you guys have a rest first. I will send you food later. If you need any help,

Let’s just say it.”

The two took the goat's milk. Dapeng was not polite and drank it in one gulp. Qin Xiao could smell the taste.

It was really uncomfortable to see Dapeng drink it all in one gulp. He knew that one should do as the Romans do and others were kind enough to give him milk. He really had to show his face and endure the gulp.

He bent down to express his gratitude, and handed the bowl back to the old shepherd with both hands. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that something seemed not far away. He turned around and saw a figure retracting into a tent, which was a little strange.

The tent was set up quickly. The temporary tent was not very big, but it was more than enough to accommodate two people.

Qin Xiao thought that this place should be just like the inn in Guan Nei. When guests come, they will set up tents as guest rooms. They will provide whatever they need. When they leave, they will just leave the rent money.

Suddenly I thought of someone retracting their tent just now, and couldn't help but look over again, only to find that there were two tents over there that were obviously newly built, similar to the tent I wanted to live in. The figure just retracted into one of the tents, so

Speaking of which, he and Dapeng are not the only guests here. There have been guests staying here before.

When it got dark, Qin Xiao and Dapeng were already lying in the tent.

Although the tent was not big, it was quite spacious for the two of them. The ground in the camp had naturally been cleared of weeds, and cowhide was used as a bed. It was naturally very different from the guest rooms in the Zhongyuan Inn.

The food was delivered by an old woman. It was not as exquisite as the Central Plains cuisine, but the aroma of the barbecued meats coated with ingredients was very appetizing.

The two of them feasted happily, and Qin Xiao said with a smile: "We also eat barbecue in Guan Nei, but if we want to eat real barbecue, it is better here. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It is really delicious on earth."

"So when we leave tomorrow, we really can't be stingy." Dapeng drank milk wine and ate meat: "I guess they make a living by hosting hotels, and the cattle and sheep they raise are used to make food for the guests."

Qin Xiao laughed, and then whispered: "Brother Dapeng, there seem to be other guests here?"

"I saw it." Dapeng nodded and said, "It has nothing to do with us, don't worry about it." He went over to blow out the lamp and said softly: "Go to bed early. There are still many things to do later. Let's recharge our batteries."

It was dark inside the tent, Qin Xiao was lying on the cowhide, and there was silence all around.

The shepherds went to bed very early, and occasionally the sound of cows mooing could be heard.

Qin Xiao knew that he and Dapeng had galloped on horseback for a day's journey. No matter how fast the caravan was, it would still take at least two or three days, and they were already far behind.

The night was quiet, and he was about to close his eyes and sleep when he suddenly heard the sound of very light footsteps. He was startled and looked towards Dapeng, only to see that Dapeng had quietly sat up and did something to this side.

This is a gesture, but it tells me not to act rashly.

Although Dapeng was sitting, he deliberately snored, but Qin Xiao had already taken out the fish intestine thorn hidden on his body and held it in his hand.

Although it was extremely dark inside the tent, there was a moon tonight, so it was quite bright outside. Soon, I saw a gap opening at the tent door, and someone was carefully opening the tent. At this time, Dapeng lay down,

The snoring sound is constant.

Qin Xiao was also lying down, holding the fish intestine thorn tightly. When the man really wanted to enter the tent, the two of them immediately took action to capture him.
