January 23.

Night time moon, barely cool.

In contrast with the ice and snow of the Imperial Metropolis, Tan bin even felt a bit chilly at night time. After making a hearth, he could not sit too shut and bake too sizzling.

It is good within the south. It is higher all 12 months spherical. Many individuals who have not been to the North in all probability do not even know what chilblain is. If we had been within the north presently, the wild could be simply frozen to dying.

Three days in the past, Tan bin and two companions unexpectedly killed the killing expertise of three slave groups, tied up the outdated mouse who claimed to be a residing map all the best way, after which hurried all the best way to the southeast.

It is simple to do away with the slave caravan. In any case, they aren’t heading in the right direction, and the employees are recruited quickly. After signing the certificates of life and dying, how many individuals will come out? So long as it’s sure that there is no such thing as a main hazard round, the caravan is not going to mobilize folks to wander round to be able to discover some lacking outposts.

After pulling away, Tan bin and others even formally entered the duty state.

“Boss, we should always be capable of get to Wuhu tomorrow. We could go round or take a look?” the map is the outdated navy topographic map saved in Xuanqing Wei, and the final course on it’s right. These two days, I stuffed within the new map with the outdated mouse, which is principally very complete.

Wu lake is a big lake with a radius of tens of miles. It is usually an essential provide level for slave caravans. There are folks there all 12 months spherical, and there are folks in all slave chambers of Commerce.

Tan bin turned his head and appeared on the map handed over by his companion. In his hand, he was nonetheless holding a meat cake strung on a wood stick and baking by the fireplace. He wished to bake it mushy. That is their ration. Beforehand, it was uniformly packed in a small storage bag, and entry will be activated by Pan Lingshi. The storage bag has been hidden in Tan Bin’s private garments.

Attain out and pull a bit of cake down and throw it into your mouth. It is mushy, after which greet your companions to eat. Turning to have a look at the outdated mouse nonetheless certain by the fireplace: “outdated mouse, how many individuals are there in Wuhu now?”

As he spoke, Tan Bin took out his kettle, fed a mushy baked meat cake to the outdated mouse, after which fed a mouthful of water.

After being fed a number of mouthfuls of foods and drinks, the hungry outdated mouse turned energetic and replied, “usually, there are greater than 50 everlasting folks in Wuhu, primarily chargeable for guarding the baggage. If you happen to depend the palms of different chambers of Commerce, there are no less than 300 folks there.”

300?

“There aren’t many 300 folks. Have not they been robbed by the barbarians?”

“Earlier than, however not in recent times. In any other case, there wouldn’t be so few folks staying. Just a few years in the past, there have been hundreds of individuals in Wuhu all 12 months spherical.”

“Why did not the barbarians have the concept of combating Wuhu Lake in recent times? Aren’t they very in need of meals? Or do they are saying that the barbarians cannot even cope with tons of of individuals?”

The outdated mouse shook his head and stated, “I do not know. Anyway, I have never encountered a barbarian assault on Wuhu lake after consuming this bowl of rice.” after a pause, the outdated mouse stated, “brother Liu, are you able to let me go? I’ve given you all my maps. The place do you wish to go? Why do you must tie me? I swear I will not reveal your whereabouts?”

Tan Bin stated with a smile, “the lifeless man’s mouth is the tightest. Do you wish to attempt?”

“Effectively… Brother Liu, what are you doing?!” the outdated mouse was extraordinarily depressed. After the preliminary panic, he actually could not perceive what Tan bin and the three had been doing. It would not appear like cash. However why do not you come to this place the place birds do not shit?

“Have you ever ever heard a phrase?” Tan bin completed feeding the outdated mouse, started to tear the meat cake into his mouth, and sat subsequent to the outdated mouse.

“What do you say?”

“The extra you already know, the quicker you die.”

“….” the outdated mouse stopped speaking. He did not doubt the cruelty of the opposite get together. It is higher to know lower than that. It is going to be doable to reside then. I do know a lot {that a} “leak” can kill him.

Tan bin smiled and did not discuss to the outdated mouse anymore.

All of the sudden there was silence by the campfire.

The subsequent morning, he set out once more, however didn’t select to go to Wuhu. As a substitute, he took a slight detour and continued to the southeast in direction of Baitou gorge.

……

On January 29, Tan bin noticed the barbarian tribes once more. And extra folks than he had seen all the best way earlier than.

“Are they… Migrating?”

Tan bin and a companion lie on a hill and use magic instruments to probe the ball to watch a darkish crowd within the distance.

It’s conservatively estimated that the gang within the distance is at least 5000. There are some livestock, autos and horses inside. Many individuals carry giant and small baggage on their backs. It appears to be like like they’re transferring.

Nevertheless, Tan bin quickly discovered one thing unusual by probing the ball: “No. This isn’t migration. Do you see that there’s multiple ethnic group amongst these folks, however a number of barbarians combined collectively. Effectively, there are cat, monkey and sheep… The wolf cavalry outdoors additionally appear to be not simply warning, however monitoring.

Is that this a inhabitants theft? “

Till this group of barbarians went far, Tan bin two folks put away their magic weapons.

Not migration, however looting.

They’re nonetheless struggling to search out their prey. However the barbarians listed below are robbing their very own inhabitants. It’s estimated that the slave merchants will be unable to drink soup quickly.

“The course is to Baitou gorge. Boss, lets comply with up?”

“Sustain!”

Tan bin determined to comply with the barbarians far behind.

I am right here to discover the state of affairs of barbarians. It could be extra environment friendly to comply with them than to bump round like they do not have a head.

It is simply bitter, outdated mouse. So as to not let the outdated mouse make a sound, he even blocked his mouth.

The others had been all lined with ointment to cover the scent, even the horses. These are the standard tips of the slave chamber of Commerce taught by the outdated mouse. In any other case, the scent of the entire physique is much away from the Terrans, however the nostril of the barbarians isn’t essentially.

The three are divided into two groups. The entrance crew makes use of the probe ball to observe the actions of the barbarian forces in entrance from an extended distance, and the again crew is hanging from a distance, chargeable for urgent the array and caring for the certain outdated mice.

At night time, I do not dare to regenerate fireplace. I can solely chew chilly truffles.

“Boss, I’ve an concept.”

“Say.”

“These barbarians in entrance are clearly led by these wolves. I noticed a crew of them cruising outdoors immediately. Can we arrange a lure to catch one or two wolves as tongues?”

Tan bin felt that he couldn’t say it. This might actually obtain the aim of investigation most immediately. Nevertheless, relative to the doable advantages, the chance can also be nice.

“Seeing these wolves driving within the daytime, they’re simply stronger. They do not appear like monks. Furthermore, we nonetheless have many runes and Dharma plates in our palms. There are nonetheless alternatives. Boss, let’s attempt!”

Tan bin went backwards and forwards to weigh the professionals and cons. Lastly, he could not resist the temptation of immediately acquiring numerous data and agreed to the proposal. However take into consideration the best way.
