Beast Throne

Chapter 633 Excited

It was difficult for Wu Tong to understand Jiabao's behavior until he found these missing herdsmen.

The demons are not united and united to the outside world. When they are in danger, they will decisively betray their teammates.Especially for a highly intelligent existence like Garbo, those low-level demons are completely behind her.Even if it is a demon king who is stronger than her, as long as he is not as smart as her, he will definitely betray him without any hesitation.

Under this premise, Wu Tong couldn't understand Jiabao's desperate behavior to complete the task.With her intelligence and cunning, she can find an excuse to get over it.Anyway, it wasn't that she deliberately made troubles, it was indeed because she was blocked, and the Holy Flame was an extremely dangerous existence for her, even if she couldn't complete the task and wanted to come to Garbo, she would not be harshly reprimanded.After all, Jiabao's role is too great, it is impossible to kill her just because of this.

But if the plan wasn't one-sided, then Garbo's behavior would explain it.Even if Jiabao sent a large number of demons to the royal court, as long as there were no traitors, the demons alone would never be able to capture the royal court, but they might be attacked back and forth and wiped out.The Ulan family has been running the royal court for many years, and it is no longer as simple as an ordinary residence for grassland residents, and there are a large number of powerful people gathered in it, so it is not difficult to keep it.

However, if there is a third party to join, then the situation will be completely different.Inside the demon army, apart from the dark cloud of shadow that seemed unable to move, Wu Tong did not find any other special existence, such as the mysterious silver beetle king that appeared in the camp of the Royal Knights, who seemed to be a powerful demon king. They have all moved into Tianyang Imperial City.If there is no strong man to take the lead, no matter how many demons there are, they will be gradually eliminated by Bai Bing's strong men.

But what happened in the imperial city is enough to show that, apart from demons, human beings are also unreliable as always.Even the lord of a country can betray his subordinates, not to mention other irrelevant external forces.To be able to make all the herdsmen around the royal court disappear so cleanly, the demons can't do it no matter in terms of means or time, but humans can.They kidnapped these herdsmen, of course, it is impossible to just invite them to drink tea, there must be some unknown secrets.

If these people cooperate with the demon army, it is not completely hopeless to win the royal court.That's why Garbo sent the demons here recklessly. Not only would she not be punished, but she could also gain further trust.Perhaps Jiabao himself knew that the higher authorities did not fully trust her, and they were always on guard against her reuniting with Jiabo.

Although the cavalry had accelerated and headed straight upstream, they couldn't arrive right away due to the distance.And because there may be fierce battles after arriving, it is impossible for the cavalry to let go of their hands and feet and run wildly. After all, there are less than 300 people, and an ordinary large caravan can outnumber them.If you run all the way, it is very likely that you will just deliver food when you arrive.

Along the way, Botan found two more herdsmen's yurts, which were in good condition as before, with all the cattle and sheep, but the herdsmen disappeared without leaving any traces.This discovery made Wu Tong believe in his own judgment even more, and it also made the cavalry speed up further.If they were not worried about the safety of the royal court before, it is different now.These cavalry are all elites, and their treatment is naturally higher than that of others. Most of their family members live in the royal court. Once the demons attack the royal court, the civilian residential areas outside will bear the brunt.

You must know that the royal court has no walls, and the terrain is flat, and the commoners don't even have a place to hide.

With worries and anger, Wu Tong and the others finally came to the so-called "post station" after spending a little time.Sure enough, it is different from Tianyang. The post stations around the imperial city are all built on the basis of villages. In addition, there are ordinary villagers living there, and there are farmlands on the periphery.But in front of him, all the people who come and go are people wearing foreign costumes. Occasionally, one or two white ice men appear, and they are basically the translators of the caravan.

This place is like an autonomous region, even if the foreign caravan kills someone here, Ulan Royal Court will not care, as long as the person who died is not a white iceman, everything else is fine.In other words, if these caravans did some shameful things without telling the royal court, it would be really difficult to be discovered.

"Botan, go up and ask." After arriving, Wu Tong did not reveal his strength, but hid among the cavalry, so as not to startle the enemy.For the arrival of the cavalry, the merchants were obviously a little puzzled, and they all stopped their work and looked over.This is a gathering place for merchants, even if the official visitors are usually just tax collectors, there is no reason for the army to come here.Therefore, the cavalry did not enter directly, but chose to stop on the periphery.

In order to make himself look more majestic, Botan patted his face hard, and then stepped forward to shout out to the merchants, and deliberately put on a strong accent.It is said that doing so can distance the foreign businessmen and make them feel awe. I don’t know who came up with the idea. Baibing officials like to use this trick.

Probably the black blood on Botan's body had an effect. The merchants seemed a little scared, and they backed up a little to keep a distance from Botan.Afterwards, the local interpreter hired by the caravan surrounded them and started chatting with Bertan with the same accent.These translators were very experienced, and they stuffed some money and gifts into Botan's hands as soon as they came up, which made Botan a little helpless. He didn't know whether he should accept it or not, and Wu Tong sighed.

"What's the matter, sir?" asked a young cavalryman next to Wu Tong. He was Botan's nephew, named Batu.This year is not yet twenty, but he is already taller and stronger than Botan, and he is also much smarter than Botan, so he has a bright future.

"Your uncle is too young." Wu Tong shook his head.Extraordinary moments are very tactful. It stands to reason that Botan cannot accept bribes, but at such moments, he should obviously take the money first, deliberately giving people the impression of being greedy for money, which will make it easier to talk.

Sure enough, Botan did not accept the bribe, but he certainly couldn't get his words out.Those translators are all veterans, they know the rules of the army, officers like Botan do not have the authority to govern the chamber of commerce, and Botan's military rank is not high, so they are not afraid at all.

"Forget it, you go." Seeing that Botan was still entangled with those people, Wu Tong decided to give up on him, pulled Batu past him, and whispered something in his ear.

"Okay, sir, let's see what I say!" Badu might not understand Wu Tong's words, but he was more flexible, and did what Wu Tong wanted without thinking too much.Moreover, Batu is smarter than Wu Tong imagined. Wu Tong originally asked him to go alone, but Batu waved his hand to greet several equally strong companions, drew his big knife and rushed over, deliberately rushing all the way to the local translators. He reined in his horse in front of him, and his angry look shocked those translators who thought they had controlled the situation.

The appearance of Batu immediately caused a chaotic situation. This young man with a red face brandished a big knife and roared at the merchants, foaming all over his mouth.Those translators originally wanted to deal with Batu in the same way as they dealt with Botan, but they were kicked away by the latter regardless of the situation, appearing extremely rude and rude.The merchants who dared to wander outside were not timid, but at this moment they seemed to understand Batu's behavior very well. Instead of standing up to resist, they even secretly glanced at each other, as if they didn't trust the people around them.

"My lord, it's done!" Soon, Batu happily returned to the team, and excitedly shouted to Wu Tong, "They are willing to let us check, and no one objects!"

"Well done, hehe, I don't believe I can't find it now!" Wu Tong praised Badu.In fact, this is a matter of course, and those businessmen will be damned if they don't agree.Badu yelled for a long time just now, which roughly meant that they were all cavalry in the army, and this time they were going home to visit relatives.But when he came back, he found that a man found out that his wife was pregnant. After asking, he found out that it was a foreign businessman, so he ran over to catch the adulterer.

Of course, this matter was made up by Wu Tong, but it is very credible.Caravans that go out will not bring women with them, and a large group of men will naturally feel lonely and unbearable after spending a long time together.But the White Ice Empire does not allow the establishment of a red-light district, and these foreign businessmen can only hold back, and naturally there will be problems of one kind or another after holding back for a long time.

But no matter how hard you hold back, messing with other people's wives is obviously a despicable behavior.It's fine if you look for a prostitute, how can you hook up with a married woman?Especially for businessmen like them who are not at home all year round, why don't they worry that their wives who live alone at home will cuckold them, and stealing other people's wives is often taboo in caravans.

From this point to that point, instead of thinking that Batu's behavior was rude, these businessmen looked excited, eager to find out the black sheep immediately and beat him up.

Since the merchants were willing to cooperate, Wu Tong and the others would naturally not be polite, and made a round of inquiries to various caravans.Since they were just looking for people, the cavalry did not inspect the goods, nor would they arouse the resentment of the merchants.What Wu Tong didn't expect was that the effect was surprisingly good. When the cavalry passed by, those businessmen, old or young, all showed their faces with their arms folded.They didn't do anything wrong, so they naturally wouldn't worry. Instead, they kept an eye on the other caravans, lest they deliberately hide someone.

This is something Wu Tong did not expect. These caravans are more or less competitive. Once someone in the caravan does such a thing, although it is only a personal act, the entire caravan will definitely be implicated. Maybe they will never come here again. up.As competitors, other caravans are very willing to see this kind of thing, and they help a lot without knowing it.

When the others were pretending to be looking for the non-existent "adulter", Wu Tong was not idle, observing the expressions on their faces while carefully comprehending.Other businessmen might not doubt it, but the man behind the kidnapping of the herdsmen should be able to guess the real purpose of Wu Tong and others.The herdsmen, regardless of men, women, or children, have all disappeared. Naturally, there is no such thing as a so-called green hat incident.

On the other hand, those missing herdsmen are very likely to be brought here.If they are still alive, it is not difficult to find them, it is impossible to hide so many people perfectly.Even if they are all dead, they can feel the smell of blood or death.Although Wu Tong is not good at this, he still has this ability.

Therefore, as long as someone has a guilty expression on his face, or simply refuses to be checked by the cavalry, it is almost 100% that the caravan did it.It is impossible for everyone to be a natural actor, Wu Tong believes that there will be some clues.
