Chapter 204
Chapter 204
"We will arrive around the evening." Shen Changsui suddenly said, "I have seen the Saihan you mentioned.
So, bring him here and tell him that as long as he cooperates with us to catch the Wu family kid, we can send him to find Agula."
“If you are sure that he does not want to follow Aruhan, I think it would be more appropriate for him to replace Aruhan no matter what plans are made next.
Saihan is more straightforward." Shen Xiaoye thought Aruhan was too cunning and that Agula alone could not hold him back.
Shen Changsui pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, we cannot allow him to meet Agula."
But the next moment, he shook his head and said, "Aruhan has advantages. His position can help us."
"Okay." Shen Xiaoye handed him the little black cat. "This person must be in the crowd, but he was driven away in waves, so it's hard to find him."
After saying that, she left quickly, followed by Bian Xian and others who were ordered to protect her.
Along the way, among the crowd of people being driven away, there was a pair of eyes silently watching the direction where Shen Xiaoye left. He touched his face and decided to change his appearance first.
But after he returned to the place he had prepared earlier, he still felt a little uneasy.
Looking far towards Liangzhou, he hoped very much that his father and brothers were safe. Alas, why didn't they listen to his advice and insisted on contacting Baya Khan again?
He is a man with great ambitions but little talent. Since Timur returned, apart from using the glory of his ancestors to call on many tribes, he does not have any wisdom as a ruler, otherwise he would not have done such a stupid thing as killing the envoy of the Great Zhou.
It just so happened that Master Alu was self-righteous. He became arrogant because of his marriage alliances with various tribes, and he was so proud of himself that he killed the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
Now that was bad, the emperor was furious and led the army himself, mobilizing more than 100,000 troops to wipe out the invaders.
I don't know what's wrong with my father and brother. They are besieging Liangzhou City at this time. If they are defeated, their lives will be in danger. They might even ask me to go and rescue them.
The more the Wu family boy thought about it, the more anxious he became. He had to gather the small team his father had assigned to him as soon as possible and find a way to leave the city as soon as possible.
On this side, Shen Xiaoye found Taoist Master Hengxi, and after she said this and that, the Taoist Master handed Saihan over to her.
"Where are you taking me?" Saihan subconsciously jumped away from Bian Xian and his men and approached Shen Xiaoye.
The latter said seriously: "Do you want to go to the capital to find Agula, or do you want to go back to your current home?"
Saihan asked in return: "Will you let me go back to Luqu River?"
Shen Xiaoye didn't quite agree, but said, "Almost, but you have to help us find the kid from the Wu family first."
"No problem." Saihan was mainly worried about too many things. His wife and children were all in Mobei.
After living here for some time, he clearly felt that the people of the Great Zhou were much more comfortable than them. They didn't have to herd livestock or go hungry.
Almost as soon as he agreed, the Fan family kid said, "I can also help identify people."
Shen Xiaoye and Taoist Hengxi looked at each other and said, "It seems that you can no longer hide away."
"Oh, haha. Let's go!" Taoist Master Hengxi threw the other two drunkards to others.
He tied a knot with a rope so that he could tie one end to one side and the other end to the other side, and then pull two people away at the same time.
The Fan family kid didn't feel anything, but Saihan was dissatisfied and said, "Leading us like this is like hanging captives behind horses."
"Aren't you a prisoner?" Shen Xiaoye asked him, "Didn't you tie up my people like this when you kidnapped them before?
There is nothing new under the sun, only times and places have changed.”
She acknowledged Saihan's straightforwardness, but that did not mean she agreed with the way his ancestors and his people treated the people of the Central Plains.
Saihan muttered a few words, but seeing that no one was paying attention to him anymore, he could only follow closely to avoid being dragged down and staggered.
By the time they arrived at the west city gate, most of the people queuing there had already been dispersed.
Saihan couldn't wait to step forward and recognize the boy from the Wu family, but his wrists were clasped and he couldn't open them. "You, untie me first, or he will see me in the dark and run away."
"They all ran away a long time ago. The remaining ones are basically merchants who have been traveling to the border town for many years. Do you see any of them who looks like a teenager?" Taoist Priest Hengxi had a sharp eye and had already scanned the remaining dozens of people twice.
After a careful observation, Saihan indeed did not find the person, so he retreated in disgrace and kicked the boy from the Fan family to ask him to identify him.
The result was obvious. The kid from the Fan family didn't recognize anything at all. Even though he kept reminding him where to look, he was still more confused.
These two people were basically useless, which was also within Shen Changsui's expectations.
Then he asked Bian Xian and the people he brought to go to the east gate to wait for Xia Hu to arrive.
He, Shen Xiaoye and Taoist Priest Hengxi were guarding the west city gate.
Of course, the little black cat sometimes can't sit still. It will not accept the fact that it can't find its target among the waves of people.
So after quietly making an assurance to Shen Xiaoye, it flew away.
"It would be great if we could find it in advance, so we can continue looking for Lu Guan." In addition to the task of following the clues, Shen Changsui also had things to complete with Lu Guan.
Shen Xiaoye: "I wonder how he is doing? Uncle, hasn't Brother Bian received any news yet?"
"Not yet." Shen Changsui missed the previous communications very much.
Lu Guan, whom they were talking about, had already won the victory at this moment, and everyone was still cleaning up the battlefield.
The newly captured prisoners were still dressed in Dada attire, but they all spoke Chinese fluently.
Except for a few with special appearances, the others look very similar to the people of the Great Zhou.
Lu Guan asked Sun Mi for help to pick out a few people for interrogation, but he didn't expect that those who survived had lost their courage and revealed everything in a short time.
He asked, "So, you and the Wu family in Ganliang are from the same tribe?"
Prisoner: "There are many tribes in Ganliang who changed their surname to Wu. We are talking about Liangzhou Wu.
He had a son who would often join us in wandering the grassland.
The fact that we have been able to survive and not be wiped out by the government troops is entirely due to his son’s advice.”
"You're just giving gifts everywhere!" Lu Guan pointed out mercilessly.
He then asked, "This place is very far from Liangzhou. How many times does his son come here each year and how long does he stay each time?"
"He doesn't live in Liangzhou, but in Xuanfu," said another prisoner.
Lu Guan's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Sun Mi who had been following him. Sun Mi shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
He said, "Send someone to deliver the news to Xuanfu. Oh, and ask their leaders to confirm it."
Sun Mi did not dare to delay and took action immediately. Lu Guan asked a few more questions and got fairly satisfactory answers.
Now he has learned that this group of horse thieves has four hideouts, and the second in command has been killed by his horse in the first battle.
After packing up everything, Lu Guan led the team all the way back. Finally, at the place where the earliest battle took place, he met the children from the Chai and Wang families.
I found that they were not that scared, and I couldn't help but sigh that the children who grew up at the border were accustomed to fighting and killing.
For example, if Sun Mi killed someone in front of them, they would not even say a word, but would cooperate and look for an opportunity to escape.
The Wang family's child asked, "You just said you met my third uncle. Where is he?"
