After everyone was ready to fight, Feng Yu said to his soldiers Qi Guang: "Take your two brothers to the place where those big cannibals appeared just now.
Be careful."
"Understood."
Qi Guang agreed, and called the two cavalrymen to follow him and trot towards the sand dune where the big eater appeared just now.
These three people are obviously knights who have undergone strict training and have combat experience.
Although they are scattered, they are not far apart.
One of them is in front and two are in the back.
The bows and arrows are already in their hands and ready to be fired at any time.
The three of them quickly reached the edge of the sand dune, but there was no one behind it.
However, Qi Guang still noticed the messy horse hoof prints on the sand, which extended all the way to the north.
Leaving two people on guard, Qi Guang rode back and reported to Feng Yu: "Boss Feng, we didn't find them behind the sand dunes, but there were some messy horse hoof prints heading north."
Feng Yu looked solemn and said to the patrol captain Ma Kun: "It seems that we are really being targeted.
These people have gone to the north.
Our next stop is going to Aralsk in the north.
I'm afraid there won't be peace on the way. " Ma Kun realized the seriousness of the problem and asked: "Can we change the route?"
Feng Yu turned to look at Ma Kun and said: "Of course you can change the route.
You can go south around the Aral Sea and go to the military port on the east coast of the Caspian Sea.
From there, take a boat directly to Samandal.
As long as you reach the military port, you will be safe. , there are three thousand troops stationed there, and we can't move you.
However, this road is occupied by the Oghuz and Khwarizim people, so we can't escort you.
Going south is not within our patrol range, and everything needs to be done.
On your own" Several patrol officers looked at Ma Kun nervously.
Ma Kun really had no choice for a while.
Judging from the current situation, the enemy must have set up an ambush waiting for them on the way ahead, but if they changed their route to the south and bypassed the Aral Sea, Passing through the territory of the Oghuz and the Khwarizm people, the place is unfamiliar to them.
Ma Kun looked up at Feng Yu and asked: "Captain Feng, which way do you think we should go?"
Feng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really can't answer this question.
According to my experience, there must be an ambush ahead.
The possibility of being ambushed when we go to Aralsk will be very high.
Although Qi Guang just just said I saw a dozen enemies, but who knows if they have other troops hiding.
Then go south around the Aral Sea, and then pass through the Oghuz and Khwarizm.
The disadvantage for you is that you are not familiar with the local people.
Situation and Tao Road, but if you walk fast, you should be able to get rid of these big cannibals, and since you have the status of civil servants of the Western Qin government, the Ogus and Huazizim people should not make things difficult for you.
If you can do something, Money, maybe someone will guide you.
This is just my opinion.
The choice is up to you.
Even if you choose to still go north, of course we will escort you along the way.
After all, it is our duty to patrol the north."
Ma Kun thought for a long time and said to his detective: "I decided to turn to the south.
Although this road is unfamiliar to us, it is relatively safer.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being missed.
I know it.
Someone has already ambushed me in front, and everyone is still a little scared to go forward, so I chose this path without further delay, everyone should be ready to set off."
The patrolmen began to pack their things and prepare to set off.
Ma Kun said to Feng Yu: "Captain Feng, thank you for escorting us along the way.
We are going to turn south.

If everything goes well, we will pass by the military station when we return.
Buy you a drink" Feng Yu smiled and said: "Okay, as long as I rest at the military station."
"Farewell" “Have a good trip” Feng Yu watched Ma Kun and the patrols escort Julius all the way south until their figures disappeared into the desert, then waved to his knights: "Let's go, brothers, we have to continue heading north.
Patrol, we need to report to the superiors when we return this time, and set up two military stations in the middle, otherwise we people will have no effect at all.
But if we can find those people this time, we can just deal with them together, and they actually have some identities on our territory.
Unknown people are following us, so why don’t we leave?”
The "driving" knights hit their horses and ran towards the north.
This is already the territory of the Ogus people.
The number of military stations stationed by the Western Qin Army here has dropped sharply.
There is only one military station for two to three hundred miles.
This is why Feng Yu and others have to patrol for several days and nights.
It takes three days to get to Aralsk and six days to get back.
This kind of patrol basically doesn't have much effect.
If something really happens, it will be too late by the time the patrol team arrives.
Their role is to prove that there is still a Western Qin army patrolling this Silk Road, and to warn those who don't want to do it. mess around.
An hour later, a knight riding a horse and leading a horse came to the place where Feng Yu and Ma Kun rested just now.
The desert wind and sand made Chang Le look unhappy at all.
His face was blown like old tree bark by the desert wind and sand, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit by the sunlight reflected by the sand in the desert.
Chang Le jumped off the horse and observed for a while by the river.
He watched the messy horse hoof prints extending in two directions, north and south.
Among them, the south horse hoof prints disappeared by the river.
"Hey, they changed their route to the south.
Why did they do this?
They took the northern route.
There were soldiers and horses escorting them along the way.
They didn't take the northern route.
Could it be that they had discovered that the enemy was watching them, so they changed their route temporarily?"
Chang Le counted the horse hoof prints. , exactly in line with the number of horses of patrol captain Ma Kun and his companions.
A pile of fresh horse manure was lying on the grass by the river.
Chang Le squatted down and took out the dagger from his waist, picked out some horse manure and smelled it under his nose.
It was fresh and had only been pulled out for an hour.
Chang Le wiped the dagger clean in the grass and put it back into its sheath, muttering to himself: "I don't know if this trip is a blessing or a curse.
Going south, you have to pass through Ogus and Huacizimo.
Here, There are no soldiers and horses to escort you along the way."
Chang Le was about to get on his horse when he vaguely felt something.
He quickly lay down on the ground and put his ears to the ground.
His expression soon changed, and he immediately got up and got on his horse.
He hit the horse and ran quickly towards a wild grassland at the height of a person in the east.
After Chang Le led the two horses and hid them in a tall patch of wild grass on the east side of the river, a dozen Dashi knights all wrapped in Dashi costumes appeared, and soon arrived at the place where Chang Le was standing just now. place.
The big eater was talking there, inspecting the horse hoof prints and footprints on the ground.
A few faint gurgling sounds came, and Chang Le could hear it clearly.
Soon the big eater was riding his horse through the poisonous water and headed south. go.
"Are you in big trouble now?
Ma Kun is really smart.
He doesn't even have reinforcements for taking this route.

If something happens, who knows where he will die?"
Chang Le couldn't help but curse.
He was scolded, but Chang Le had no choice but to mount his horse and follow the big cannibals.
The order he received was just to keep an eye on the big cannibals all the way.
As soon as he arrived in Aralsk, he would find the garrison of the Eighth Army. , in the name of Dongchang, please ask the garrison to send a hundred cavalry to escort Ma Kun and others to Crimea.
With the combat power of the Eighth Army's one hundred cavalry, the cannibal may not be able to eat even two hundred more people.
But now the situation has changed, and he cannot care about the life and death of Ma Kun and others.
Since the situation has changed, his mission must also change.
Chang Le followed not far behind the big cannibal, and had been secretly observing the big cannibal's actions.
The big cannibal's target was Julius.
As long as he kept an eye on these big cannibals, he could find Julius to drink from.
Kun and his party, but on the second afternoon he discovered a strange phenomenon at the place where the big cannibal rested.
"What's the secret code?"
Chang Le saw that in addition to a large number of horse hoof prints and footprints on the beach by the Aral Sea, there was also a new moon made of small stones.
This new moon was obviously not placed casually.
It was arranged very neatly, with one of its pointed ends pointing in the direction the big eater left.
"Why did you leave this code?
Who is it for?
Are there any of these cannibal accomplices behind you?"
Thinking of this question, Chang Le suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Oh no, I was so careless, I almost capsized in the gutter."
Chang Le cursed himself secretly, and immediately ran to the horses, took two horses, and found a place to hide.
This hiding place lasted for an hour.
Just when Chang Le was a little impatient, the sound of a large number of horse hooves came from the distance.
Chang Le stretched out his head and saw a group of about thirty riders wearing various colors and styles of clothing.
The knights appeared.
Among them were people from the Western Qin Dynasty, people from the Tianzhu Province, as well as people from the Great Era and Westerners, but these people all carried weapons.
The behavior and temperament of the "mercenaries" allowed Chang Le to instantly determine the identities of these people.
He suddenly realized that these people were hired by the Big Eater with money.
The Big Eater among these people must be the one who came forward to contact them. .
Those people stayed on the edge of the Aral Sea for a while.
One of the giant cannibals found a crescent moon pattern made of stones on the beach.
Then he called out a few times, and then the people set out again to chase the group of giant cannibals in front.
The crescent moon flag is the flag of the Great Eater Army, and only the Great Eater can use this code.
These Great Eaters should all come from the Great Eater Army, but these people were sent to Western Qin, so these Great Eaters Changle's worries are getting worse.
In the next two days, these mercenaries arrived at a small oasis.
The oasis was around a small lake.
There were some fertile fields and fruits.
Judging from the number of camps, the population living here was not large, only a dozen households.
However, All the Oghuz people here have been killed, the corpses have begun to stink, and mosquitoes and flies are flying everywhere.
Chang Le lay on the sand dune from a distance and watched these mercenaries take away all the edible things in the camp, but the corpses were not cleaned and were still allowed to rot and stink.
After the mercenaries left, Chang Le led two horses and walked into the camp.
The smell of corpses hit his face, and he couldn't help but frown.
As he walked in the camp, he observed the shape of the wounds on the corpses. , through inspection, he found that most of these corpses were killed by only one slash, and most of them were in fatal parts.
From this, it can be seen that the group of big cannibals who followed Ma Kun and the others were very powerful in their knife skills.

The fighting ability is extraordinary.
Chang Le circled around the lake, trying to find any other clues in the camp.
However, when he returned to the horse, he was surrounded by more than a dozen Ogus cavalry, and more than a dozen bows and arrows were aimed at them. he.
Chang Le quickly raised his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't do this, I just got here":
