Chapter 652: Kidnapping


Wu Tong walked at the front of the team, looking helpless.

It is said that the men in the grassland are straightforward and bold, and now it seems that their clinging skills are also top-notch.

The cavalry led by Botan didn't know why, but they relied on Wu Tong for life and death and insisted on letting Wu Tong lead them temporarily.

It wasn't that Wu Tong was stingy and refused to help, it was just that he didn't know what to do.

If their previous speculations were correct, then the demon's target should be the Ulan Royal Court.

In this case, Wu Tong felt that Botan and his gang should rush back to their royal court as soon as possible to report the news.

It would be better for Wu Tong to wander around alone in order to discover other important information in time.

But Botan and others refused to leave.

They told Wu Tong that there was absolutely no problem with the defense power of the Royal Court, but the herdsmen near the Royal Court were more dangerous.

After all, the Royal Court is a city.

It is impossible for the herdsmen to drive large numbers 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.

They have absolutely no power to protect themselves if they encounter demons.

Compared with the people in the royal court, these people are much more dangerous.

Especially since Wu Tong had scared away so many demons just now, it would be even more troublesome if these demons forgot their original mission after being frightened and spread out and wandered around.

Therefore, Bertan and other cavalrymen suggested that Wu Tong should scan around first and clean up those small groups of demons in time before heading to the royal court.

Since the locals were not in a hurry, Wu Tong couldn't say anything else.

He thought that since it was the center of an empire, the defense force should be sufficient, as long as there were no traitors.

But thinking about it carefully, Jiabao originally wanted to teleport all the demons to the royal court, but her own appearance disrupted her plan.

The latter had no choice but to forcefully complete the teleportation magic.

Although it was still successful, the accuracy was poor.

There will undoubtedly be a huge discount, which is why they are here.

In this way, Wu Tong felt a lot more balanced in his heart.

After all, our contribution was not small.

It was not just a trick by Jiabao.

But something that depressed Wu Tong soon came.

Since he was the temporary captain of the cavalry team, he couldn't walk ahead.

But the sad thing is that after being teleported twice, the cavalry didn't even have an extra white horse.

Wu Tong asked Botan to count, and found that there were exactly 250 people alive and dead, plus 250 white horses, no one more and no less.

Wu Tong hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't bear to break up the number, so he simply did it by himself.

But Wu Tong, who was flying in the air, always felt that he was more like the blue-eyed eagle they raised than their temporary captain.

How could he hang his leader in mid-air and ride a horse on his own.

Since it was Wu Tong's own choice, there was nothing to say.

Everyone came to the river first, and Bertan and others decided to go upstream after looking at it carefully for a while.

After walking a short distance, we found a temporary settlement of herdsmen as Bertan said.

All men, women, old and young are laborers on the grassland.

Even children must participate in grazing, and they are willing to do so in order to adapt to the relatively harsh environment on the grassland as early as possible.

When Wu Tong and others found the felt bag, there was no one inside, but Botan thought this was normal.

He was also born as a herdsman.

When he was grazing, he often did not come back for a whole day, and he was not afraid of being stolen.

Following Botan's suggestion, Wu Tong asked everyone to take a break.

After all, they had been out for almost a day and were exhausted.

It would be good to boil some hot water.

The owner of the felt bag was not here, so these cavalrymen simply took matters into their own hands.

They boiled water and fed the horses.

They were worthy of being official members and did not care what the owner of the felt bag would think.

Although he was resting, Bertan still sent some people to look for the outgoing herdsmen.

There are still some connections between the herdsmen.

As long as one is found, the scattered herdsmen can be gathered together as soon as possible to facilitate 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, and their owners did not come back with them.

"Sir, something happened."

In fact, even if Botan didn't tell Wu Tong, he could tell that something was wrong, but the honest Botan rushed to Wu Tong to report it as soon as possible.

"Well, I saw it.

Why didn't he come back?

Is he too far away to find him?"

Wu Tong looked carefully again and found no trace of the herdsman.

"Impossible."

Bertan shook his head decisively for the first time, "Sir Suzaku may not know yet, but the herdsmen on the grassland would rather throw away their felt bags than leave their flocks.

My people have already looked for it.

Yes, it was indeed not found.”

"Is it because of the devil?"

Botan said so definitely, Wu Tong could only go in the bad direction.

If a fleeing demon happens to discover the herdsmen, the consequences can be imagined.

"Probably not."

Bertan shook his head again, but he was not as sure as before, "We found no blood stains, and the sheep were intact.

If it is a demon" Indeed, as Bertan said, the disappearance of the herdsmen seems to have little to do with the devil.

In the eyes of the devil, herdsmen are not as good as fat cattle and sheep, so there is no reason to only capture the herdsmen without harming the cattle and sheep.

And the devil is not a guy who pays attention to eating etiquette, so there is no way he would leave no traces behind.

"That's strange.

Take me to see it."

Wu Tong thought for a while and had no clue, so he decided to go to the scene to have a look.

The disappearance of the herdsmen is definitely not an accident, and there must be some hidden secret in it.

Jiabao really shouldn't be underestimated.

She would rather pay such a high price to send the demons over.

Maybe the demons really have the ability to take down the royal court and give Bai Bing a fatal blow.

Botan did not dare to neglect and immediately took Wu Tong to the place where they found the sheep.

In the eyes of these cavalrymen, since Wu Tong was so powerful, he would definitely be able to find some clues that they could not find.

But in fact, Wu Tong is not very good at this aspect.

If Mu Xing came, he might find something immediately, but Wu Tong looked around and found nothing.

"Sir, have you discovered anything?"

No wonder Bertan, who had been in the army for so many years and could only become a centurion, couldn't see Wu Tong's predicament and foolishly stepped forward to ask.

"Well, you're right, I didn't find the devil's breath."

Wu Tong said calmly.

Regardless of whether the devil had come or not, proving that he did not find the devil's breath was not a lie.

"Who do you think this is?"

Botan didn't know if he was deceived by Wu Tong's appearance, so he asked further.

"Human" Wu Tong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and Botan's words just reminded him.

Anyway, the herders did disappear inexplicably.

If it wasn't the devil, then there must be other forces.

Since it is impossible for demons to be so clean, only humans are left.

Since Wu Tong has always regarded the devil as his target, Wu Tong has really forgotten the human factor.

Now that Botan said this, he remembered that what the devil cannot do is very easy for humans.

"Botan, you are such a bad guy, haha."

Wu Tong couldn't help but patted Botan on the shoulder, which shocked the latter and thought he had done something wrong.

"Think carefully, do you Bai Bing have any remaining enemies, such as tribes that want to overthrow Ulan's rule, or simply underground black forces?"

Generally speaking, if an accident occurs here at Bai Bing, the first thing they will think of is Tian Yangxia's hand.

But judging from the current situation, Tianyang absolutely cannot spare the time to do such a thing, so it would have to be someone else.

"This" Botan turned back and glanced at his younger brothers.

He didn't know why Wu Tong asked this, and he didn't know what the so-called "underground black forces" meant.

And even if there really is some secret underground black force, it is not something that low-level officers like them can know about.

"The villain really doesn't know that 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 does not dare to talk about such taboo things casually.

Moreover, the Wulan clan has been ruling the Baibing Grassland for a long time.

With their methods, those dissatisfied tribes have been wiped out one by one.

Even if the Baibing Grassland is not monolithic, there is absolutely no one who wants to split.

"If it's not someone from the inside, then it was done by someone from the outside."

Wu Tong touched his chin, with a vague idea in his mind, and then asked if there was a gathering place for foreigners near the royal court."

"There is something about this."

Botan finally found a question that he could answer.

He cherished it very much and introduced it to Wu Tong in detail.

Sure enough, as Wu Tong thought, the Royal Court, like the Imperial City, had inns nearby for the garrison of external chambers of commerce.

When there is no war, even the caravans of the Tianyang Empire have a place.

But unlike the Imperial City, due to the presence of herdsmen, the Baibing Empire did not allow caravans to station at will, and concentrated them in one place, a corner downstream of the Ewenki Road river.

"Okay, let's go there."

The situation is better than Wu Tong imagined.

If the inns are scattered, they have to find them one by one.

If they are gathered together, a lot of effort can be saved.

"Sir, aren't we going to look for the herdsmen?"

Botan responded slowly, not yet understanding Wu Tong's intentions.

"I won't go.

This incident is definitely not an accident."

For such a subordinate, Wu Tong had no choice but to patiently explain to him that the current situation is more complicated.

The devils are in front of us.

At their speed, if they want to kill the herdsmen, , you can’t catch up even if you chase.

But now that we have 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 broke out on Botan's forehead, and his brain was working rapidly.

Fortunately, all these years of military career were not in vain.

After spending some time, he finally came up with an answer.

His subordinates thought that they probably wanted to do something, and they were afraid that others would find out and report it, so they took action in advance. " "That's right."

Wu Tong slapped Botan hard on the shoulder, loving and hating this slow but honest guy.

"If my guess is right, those people should not know about the devil's side.

Something went wrong, so they still tied up the surrounding herdsmen according to the original plan.

There was no blood around, indicating that they probably did not kill the herdsmen, but took them back.

According to my speculation, they should be the foreign traders.
