Raise the telescope.

I found that the red dot was a salesman, the kind who leads a horse.

In the northwest region where commodity trade is underdeveloped, there are actually quite a few such horseback traders.

They rode horses or led horses through villages, buying or selling goods.

Some go alone and some go together.

The spy in front of me was traveling alone, leading three horses.

There was a gun hidden in the cargo carried by one of the black horses. It was a very ordinary Browning M1903 pistol.

But for a salesman, it's not ordinary.

Wave.

Sun Dexi came up.

Zhang Yong pointed at the salesman, "Do you know him?"

"I know Nicholas Zhaosi." Sun Dexi replied, "I see him often. He also has a shop in the city."

"How long has he been here?"

"It's been three or four years. Anyway, three years ago, we met him when we went out for training. He is eloquent and has a sweet mouth. He often brings us some delicious food."

"So, he is very happy here?"

"I don't dare to say anything about it. A small businessman. He makes some hard money by doing small things. He makes everyone smile when he sees him. There is no one who can't get along with him."

"Where are the bandits?"

"Of course not. What the bandits need most are these salesmen."

"Why?"

"Without these salesmen, the bandits wouldn't be able to buy anything even if they have money. If the bandits have good stuff, they have to sell it through them."

"So, they should be familiar with the bandits around them, right?"

"This is hard to say."

Sun Dexi was obviously worried about involving Zhao Si.

Zhang Yong's behavior is a bit weird. If he keeps an eye on Zhao Si, Zhao Si will be in trouble.

“What does Nicholas Zhaosi say?”

"He said he knew Russian."

"Can you speak Russian?"

"That's how he brags."

"oh……"

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

I don’t know what this Japanese spy actually means.

Are you trying to cover up what you accidentally said? What if Japanese comes up, so explain that it’s in Russian?

In the northwest region, there are indeed more people who can speak some simple Russian.

In particular, the Northwest Army system received strong assistance from the Soviet Union. A relatively large number of Russians came to teach it.

"Does he always carry a gun?"

"gun?"

"Yes. Does Zhao Si always carry a gun?"

"I think should not be."

"His black horse at the back, facing the horse's head, there is a horse-branded sledgehammer hidden in the cargo on the left..."

"real?"

"Don't be surprised. Pretend you don't know. You go over and ask him to come over. I'll talk to him. Then you quietly check the goods to see what else is there besides the pistol. If you find smoke and dirt, don't make a sound."

"good."

Sun Dexi immediately stepped forward.

He and Nicholas Zhao Si did know each other and soon started chatting.

Soon after, Zhao Si came over on his own. He came to Zhang Yong's side and said hello politely.

"Your Majesty Commissioner."

"Thank you for traveling so far to do business."

"It's a small business, so I can't say it's hard work. I just barely support my family."

"We are here to suppress bandits. Do you have any news about the bandits?"

"Bandits? I haven't encountered them yet! If I did, I'd probably be in big trouble."

"Have you encountered them, but you didn't know they were bandits?"

"Maybe. They may just do business with me. They won't say they are bandits."

"Tell me where you usually hang out?"

"I usually do business in Jingyang, Sanyuan, and Gaoling. The farthest is Tongchuan. But I usually don't go there. It's too far."

"Then do you know a bandit leader named Yang Laoxie?"

"Yang Laoxie?"

"Yes. Yang Laoxie. I came out this time to destroy him."

"I've heard people talk about it, but I've never seen anyone. I don't know where they are. They shouldn't be nearby. There are so many troops nearby..."

"Right……"

Zhang Yong talked to the other party at all times.

Over there, Sun Dexi had already found the Horse Brand Luzi in the cargo on the left side of the Black Horse.

His face became a little gloomy and returned to normal.

I secretly admire this Zhang Yong, he really has a sharp eye.

From such a distance, one could see that Nicholas Zhao Si had a weapon hidden in the cargo. It was a Browning M1903 pistol.

There is no doubt that there is something wrong with this Nicholas Zhaosi.

If you want to defend yourself, you should use a shell gun. Browning, that is a high-end product!

How could a salesman leading a horse from village to village afford such a high-end pistol?

Is this guy a spy?

Is there really a spy hidden among the bandits?

What a bunch of bastards!

Hidden so deeply!

Zhang Yong waved to him, indicating to come back.

Sun Dexi restored the things angrily and then rode back.

Zhao Si, who had his back turned, of course didn't notice.

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

"It's okay. You can go."

"OK."

"Let's go too!"

Zhang Yong pinched the horse's belly and left quickly with the cavalry.

But he didn't go far. Instead, he gradually slowed down in an open space more than 500 to 500 meters away from Zhao Si.

He has marked Zhao Si. As long as it is within the radius...

Wait. Suddenly a new continent was discovered.

But it's Zhao Si's mark that can actually be seen on the world map.

surprise.

This is awesome.

It should be noted that the display range of the world map is 24 nautical miles!

That is about 44 kilometers (44,000 meters). It is much larger than the radius of 1,000 meters. It is almost equivalent to the distance from Xi'an to Tongchuan.

In other words, as long as Zhao Si is active within a radius of 44 kilometers, he can see it.

However, I couldn't see who was around Zhao Si or where he was.

But it's enough. Keep an eye on him and you will gain something.

"Commissioner, there is a large amount of tea and salt in the cargo. It must be sold to bandits."

"knew."

Zhang Yong nodded silently.

Since Zhao Si is a Japanese spy, he will definitely not be content.

It couldn't be that he dressed up as a peddler just to earn those three melons and two dates.

All spies have motives.
