Beast Throne

Chapter 632 The Kidnapping Case

Wu Tong walked at the forefront of the team, with a helpless expression on his face.

It is said that the men in the grassland are straightforward and unrestrained, and now it seems that the clingy kung fu is also first-rate.For some unknown purpose, the cavalry headed by Botan depended on Wu Tong to their death and insisted that Wu Tong lead them temporarily.

It's not that Wu Tong is stingy and unwilling to help, it's that he doesn't know what to do.If their previous speculation was correct, then the demon's target should be Ulan Royal Court.In this case, Wu Tong felt that Botan and his group should rush back to their royal court as soon as possible to report the news. Wu Tong might as well wander around by himself in order to discover other important information in time.

But Botan and the others just refused to leave, and they told Wu Tong that there was absolutely no problem with the defense force of the royal court, but the herdsmen near the royal court were more dangerous.After all, the royal court is a city, and it is impossible for herdsmen to drive a large number of cattle and sheep into the royal court, so they can only choose to graze near the royal court.These herdsmen are just ordinary people, and they have absolutely no power to protect themselves if they encounter demons. Compared with the common people in the royal court, these people are much more dangerous.

Especially when Wu Tong scared away so many demons just now, it will be even more troublesome if these demons forget their original mission after being frightened and disperse and wander around.Therefore, Botan and other cavalry suggested that Wu Tong should sweep around first, and it would not be too late to clean up those small demons in time before heading to the royal court.

Since the locals are not in a hurry, Wu Tong can't say anything more. Since it is the center of an empire, the defense force should be enough, as long as there are no traitors.But thinking about it carefully, Jiabao must have originally wanted to concentrate the transmission of demons to the royal court, but because of her appearance, she disrupted her plan. The latter had no choice but to forcefully complete the transmission magic. It will undoubtedly be greatly discounted, so they appear here.

In this way, Wu Tong felt a lot more balanced. How can we say that our contribution is not insignificant? It's not just being put together by Jiabao.

But something that made Wu Tong depressed soon came. Since he was the temporary captain of the cavalry squad, he couldn't walk ahead.But the sad thing is that after being teleported twice, the cavalry didn't even have a single extra white horse.Wu Tong asked Bo Tan to count, and there were exactly 250 people who were dying, plus 250 white horses, no more and no less.

Wu Tong hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't bear to dismantle the number, so he simply calculated it by himself.But Wu Tong, who was flying in the air, always felt that he was not so much their temporary captain, but more like a blue-eyed eagle they raised, how could he hang the leader in mid-air and ride forward by himself.

Since it was Wu Tong's own choice, there was nothing to say.Everyone came to the river first, and after Botan and the others looked carefully for a while, they decided to go upstream.After walking a short distance, as Botan said, he found a temporary settlement of herdsmen.

All men, women and children are laborers on the grassland, and even children must participate in grazing, and they are willing to do so in order to adapt to the relatively difficult environment on the grassland as soon as possible.When Wu Tong and others found the felt bag, there was no one in it, but Botan thought it was normal. He was also born as a herdsman, and he would not come back for a whole day when grazing, and he was not afraid of someone stealing it.

Following Botan's suggestion, Wu Tong asked everyone to rest for a while. After all, it was almost a day since they came out, and they were exhausted. It would be nice to have some hot water to drink.The owner of the felt bag was not there, so these cavalry simply did it themselves, boiling the water, feeding the horses, and feeding the horses. As expected of the official members, they didn't care what the owner of the felt bag thought.

Although it was a rest, Botan still sent some people to look for the herdsmen who went out.The herdsmen are more or less connected. As long as one is found, the scattered herdsmen can be gathered as soon as possible for easy protection.But the strange thing is that when the cavalry who went out to look for herdsmen came back, they only brought back a group of cattle and sheep, but their owners did not come back with them.

"My lord, something happened." In fact, Botan could tell something was wrong even if he didn't mention Wu Tong, but the honest Botan rushed to Wu Tong's side to report immediately.

"Well, I saw it. Why didn't the person come back? Could it be that the person was too far away to find it?" Wu Tong looked carefully again, and indeed there was no sign of the herdsman.

"Impossible." Botan shook his head resolutely for the first time, "Master Suzaku may not be aware that the herdsmen on the grassland would rather throw away their rugs than leave their flocks. My people have already looked for Yes, it's not found."

"Could it be by a demon?" Botan said with such certainty, Wu Tong could only go to the bad side.If a fleeing demon happens to find the herdsman, then the result can be imagined.

"Probably not." Botan shook his head again, but he was not as sure as before. "We didn't find any blood, and the sheep were intact. If it was a demon..."

Indeed, as Botan said, the disappearance of the herdsmen does not seem to have much to do with demons.In the eyes of the devil, herdsmen are no match for fat cattle and sheep. It makes no sense to just capture the herdsmen without harming the cattle and sheep.And the devil is not a guy who pays attention to eating etiquette, so it is impossible to leave no traces.

"That's weird, take me to have a look." Wu Tong thought for a while, but didn't have a clue, so he decided to visit the scene and have a look.The disappearance of herdsmen is definitely not an accident, and there must be something hidden in it.This guy Jiabao is really not to be underestimated. She would rather pay such a high price to send the demons here. Maybe the demons really have the ability to take down the royal court and give Bai Bing a fatal blow.

Bo Tan didn't dare to neglect, and immediately brought Wu Tong to the place where they found the flock.In the eyes of these cavalry, since Wu Tong is so powerful, he must be able to find some clues that they can't find.But in fact, Wu Tong is not very good at this. If Mu Xing came, he might be able to find something immediately, but Wu Tong looked around, but he didn't find anything.

"Did you find anything, sir?" No wonder Botan, who has been in the army for so many years, can only be a centurion, so he can't see Wu Tong's predicament, and he stupidly stepped forward to ask.

"Uh, you're right, I didn't find the devil's breath." Wu Tong pretended to be calm and said, no matter whether the devil had come or not, it was not a lie to prove that he did not find the devil's breath.

"Then who do you think did it?" Botan didn't know if he was deceived by Wu Tong's appearance, so he even asked.

"Human?" Suddenly a light flashed in Wu Tong's heart, Botan's words just reminded him.Anyway, the herdsman did disappear inexplicably. If it wasn't a demon, then there must be other forces.Since it is impossible for demons to be so clean, only humans are left.Since he had been targeting demons all the time, Wu Tong had truly forgotten the human factor. Now that Botan said this, he remembered that demons couldn't do things that were easy for humans.

"Botan, you are really, haha!" Wu Tong couldn't help but patted Botan on the shoulder, startling the latter, thinking he had done something wrong. "Think about it carefully, do you Baibing have any remaining enemies, such as tribes that want to overthrow Ulan's rule, or simply underground black forces?"

Generally speaking, when an accident occurs on Bai Bing's side, he will immediately think whether it is Tian Yangxia's hand.But judging from the current situation, Tianyang would never be able to do this kind of thing, so it could only be someone else.

"This..." Bo Tan looked back at his younger brothers, not knowing why Wu Tong asked such a question, and he also didn't know what the so-called "underground black forces" meant.And even if there were any hidden underground forces, they, the lower-ranking officers, would not be able to know about them.

"The villain really doesn't know. The achievements of the Ulan royal family are obvious to all, and no tribe seems to be dissatisfied." Botan is a truly honest person, and he dare not casually talk about such taboo things.Moreover, the Wulan clan has ruled the Baibing Grassland for a long time. With their methods, those tribes who refused to accept it have been wiped out one by one. Even if the Baibing Grassland cannot be regarded as monolithic, there is absolutely no one who wants to split it.

"If it's not from the inside, then it's from the outside." Wu Tong rubbed his chin, had a faint idea in his heart, and then asked, "Is there any gathering place of foreign races near the royal court?"

"Well, there is one." Botan finally found a question that he could answer, cherished it very much, and introduced it to Wu Tong in detail.Sure enough, as Wu Tong thought, Wangting, like the imperial city, has post stations nearby for external chambers of commerce to station.When there is no war, even the caravans of the Tianyang Empire have a place.But different from the imperial city, because of the existence of herdsmen, the White Ice Empire did not allow caravans to station at will, and concentrated them in one place, which was a corner in the lower reaches of the Ewenki River.

"Okay, let's go there!" The situation was even better than Wu Tong imagined, if the post stations were scattered, we had to find them one by one.If you put them together, you can save a lot of effort.

"My lord, are we not going to look for the herdsmen?" Botan reacted slowly, and he hadn't figured out Wu Tong's intentions yet.

"No, this incident is definitely not accidental." For such a subordinate, Wu Tong has no choice but to explain to him patiently: "The current situation is more complicated. The demons are in front of us. If they want to Killing the herdsmen, you can’t catch up with them. But since we discovered the disappearance of the herdsmen, it means that there must be other forces involved. Let me ask you, why are they arresting the herdsmen?”

"Uh..." A thin layer of sweat oozed out of Botan's forehead, and his brain was working rapidly.Fortunately, all these years of military career have not been in vain. After spending some time, he finally came up with an answer: "The subordinates think that they probably want to do something. They are afraid that others will report it after they find out, so they start ahead of time."

"That's right." Wu Tong slapped Botan's shoulder hard, and he loved and hated this dull but honest guy, "If my guess is right, those people probably don't know the devil's side. Something went wrong, so the surrounding herdsmen were still tied up according to the original plan. There was no blood nearby, indicating that they probably did not kill those herdsmen, but brought them back. According to my guess, it should be those foreign businessmen. Handwriting. Do you understand now, hurry up and go!"
