When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 164 Rush back to the Xin family

The southern route is generally from Wuqing to Tongzhou in later generations, and then from Tongzhou to Changping.

And near Tongzhou, there are swamps and tribes, which are very complicated.

Now it should be regarded as the core area that Ji's family and Yu's family are fighting for, and it is probably a mess.

Qi Fang's flag is of no use here.

“If you move along this river and run, you can reach your destination in one day at most!”

Shi Wu turned around and said, "Otherwise, when it rains, the grass will turn into a swamp, and the road will be even harder to walk."

"Okay, isn't it just running? We are not bad either." Wei Shanzhou laughed.

As a terrifying upright ape, in this era when transportation is inconvenient and people basically rely on their legs to go out, they can easily run ten kilometers in an hour, so a distance of almost 120 kilometers is really not that far.

Just like that, the group speeded up.

Even the speed was slightly faster than Shi Wu and the others on horseback.

After all, horses are so delicate. After riding and running for a while, they have to eat and rest, otherwise they will look exhausted to you later.

It wasn't until about three o'clock that afternoon that Shi Wu saw the old land of the Xichi tribe, which was the battlefield where they had started filming before.

And here, Ji's flag has been hung.

"Is this the Ji family you are talking about?" After just one look, Wei Shanzhou understood what it was in front of him.

A camp under construction.

But he looked at it twice and said, "This camp will definitely be flooded after the rain. Building it now is just a waste of time."

Shi Wu heard this, but had no intention of talking much because their appearance made Jishi alert.

Not long after, Ji Shan led his troops and approached, blocking their way: "There are people from the Xin family, do you want to make a sneak attack?"

No wonder Ji Shan was so nervous. The young clan leader Ji Xun had already been invited to attend You Xin's memorial ceremony. However, Xin's soldiers suddenly appeared behind them. How could Ji Shan not be nervous?

"Relax. These are the people of my Xin family who have returned from the south."

Shi Wu shouted: "I borrowed it! Don't block the road! Dayi merchants still have missions. If you ruin Dayi merchants' missions, you guys know the consequences!"

"..."

Ji Shan's expression tightened. Although he really didn't want to let them go, when it comes to Dayi merchants, he would rather believe them than not.

Otherwise, when the giant creature to the south reacts, it will turn around and tear it into two pieces for you.

"We need to supervise your departure!"

"can!"

Shi Wu just wanted to leave quickly and had no time to pay attention to Ji Shan's request.

Ji Shan just watched Shi Wu leave with nearly a hundred members of the "Youxin clan".

However, someone with sharp eyes saw some clues and said: "The clothes of this group of people are not very similar to the Youxin family, but more similar to Dongyi."

"Dongyi?" Ji Shan frowned, "Is there an ally of the Xin family?"

"It's possible." The group of people nodded. "Of course, it's also possible that something happened in the south, causing Dongyi's relatives to go north to join them. Just like the Ze family."

"Well... arrange a few people to go southeast to investigate clearly. In any case, these people must be careful before Dayi merchants are completely plunged into civil strife and cannot extricate themselves."

Ji Shan took a look at the sky and found that half of the sky was dark: "It seems like it's going to rain... Finally! The drought is about to pass!"

When they heard it was going to rain, these guys cheered excitedly.

Wei Shanzhou looked away from the cheering Ji family members and shook his head slightly. If he didn't leave, he would wait to be taught how to behave by Heavy Rain.

But it has nothing to do with him. Ji's side is flooded, so he can be safer on his way back. Otherwise, if such a large Ji's camp is here, it will be a threat no matter how you look at it.

In addition, the trade with the Youxin family has not yet ended, so he will not ruin the goodwill of his "friend" so quickly.

After the Ji family sent them out with a gift, the tribes they passed later were less vigilant. More leaders and shamans came over to take a look, so that everyone knew about it, and then watched them leave.

It seems that these tribes have a more favorable impression of the Xin clan than the Ji clan.The Ji clan was deliberately mentioned in front of several tribes before, and they all showed anger or dissatisfaction. Some of them threatened to move west and live on the edge of the Xin clan. They wanted Shi Wu, a "traveler", to help ask the leader of the Xinqu clan. the meaning of.

Others asked the Xinqu patriarch if it was time for him to get a wife, and they wanted to send their daughters to Xinqu's bed.

As we walked down the road, it was dusk.

Wei Shanzhou and his men pieced together general information about the Xin family.

First, the Xin family had won a battle a week ago, forcing the war tribe Yu family to retreat, and had a subtle alliance with the Ji family. At the same time, they were half-brothers of Wu Zhongmi.

Second, there is Xin Qu, the head of the Xin clan, who is under twenty years old, surnamed Yao, and unmarried.

Third, the Xin clan and the Changxin clan reunited to control the main roads of Shandong and Shanxi, with a total population estimated at tens of thousands.

"This is a big family!" Wei Shanzhou exclaimed, "It is also closely related to several big forces around it. No wonder Shi Wu heard that we wanted to trade and took us directly to the Xin family.

So much emotional strength! "

"We've reached the forest area ahead. Let's rest for the night and wait for news about Xinqu."

Seeing that the sun had completely set and there was only a little fire smoke on the vast land, Shi Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a run back!

"Is there a Xin family here?" Wei Shanzhou was a little disappointed.

"Oh, this is the temporary residence of the Yunmao tribe, a relative of the Xin family." Shi Wu shook his head, "The last time we went to fight with the Ji family and the Yun family, they used the Yunmao tribe to threaten us with sending troops.

So we just took back our relatives and did not continue the war.

We have the Xin family here...an important land for logging and burning charcoal, so we let them garrison here. "

Burning charcoal?

Wei Shanzhou and the others followed them to the outskirts of the station, then raised their heads and saw that the forest was scorched black in patches, and there were still heat waves in some places: "You call this burning charcoal?"

"Ahem...Actually, this is just the remnant of a war. Before the clan leader became sworn sworn brother with Wuzu Moose, we were instigated by a treacherous tribe, the Akaishi tribe, to fight.

Because of an accident, didn’t the fire continue to burn until now?
But since it's already burned, we can't just ignore it.So we took back the wood and charcoal that could still be burned, and packed away the soil that had been burnt to ashes... In short, we tried our best to ensure that after next spring, saplings and grass can grow again in this area. "

Shi Wu was a little embarrassed. Xin Qu's fire was burning brightly. It was almost March, and some resurgences could still be seen.

"But if the rain comes, it will be peaceful next year. It's really too dry."

"This is the same." Wei Shanzhou also didn't understand the situation and echoed.

When he saw Xingren Qiu, he looked at Shi Wu in obvious surprise: "Why are you here? You didn't go to today's memorial ceremony?"

"Is the memorial ceremony open?"

"Yes, it starts today, and it should be almost over by now.

Afterwards, the clan leader should discuss the division of spheres of influence with the clan leader Yujiu, the young clan clan leader Wu Zhongmi, and the young clan clan leader Ji Xun.

If you're not here...you'll miss a lot. "

Xingren Qiu looked at the people behind him strangely: "This is... a Dongyi person? Which caravan is it from?"

"Qi Fang."

"Huh?! Are you kidding me! Qi Fang! We must be a month away! Where did you recruit him!"

"maritime."

"Uh... um... it's on the sea." Xingren Qiu looked left and right again, admiring the tiny boat in the house: "As expected of Dongyi people, their ability to travel across the sea is as good as that of Huaiyi. "

"I'll let you stay here for one night. I'll go back and let Qu Hao react."

"Okay. I'll watch." Xingren Qiu did not refuse.

As soon as Shi Wu left, he smiled and said: "I have a subordinate of Elder Dianke of the Xin family, named Qiu."

"Qi Fang travels in Weishanzhou. It's a pleasure to meet you."
