It was difficult for Wu Tong to understand Jiabao's behavior until he discovered these missing herdsmen.
The demons are not united as one, and they will betray their teammates decisively when in danger.
Especially for a highly intelligent being like Garbo, those low-level demons are nothing but support for her.
Even if it is a demon king who is more powerful than her, as long as he is not smarter than her, he will definitely betray him without any hesitation.
Under this premise, Wu Tong cannot understand Jiabao's desperate behavior to complete the task.
With her intelligence and cunning, she could find an excuse to get over it.
Anyway, it was not that she was deliberately causing trouble, it was indeed because she was blocked, and the holy flame was extremely dangerous to her.
Even if she failed to complete the task and wanted to come to Jiabao, she would not be harshly criticized.
After all, Jiabao's role was too great, and it was impossible to kill her just because of this little thing.
But if the plan was not one-sided, then Garbo's behavior could be explained.
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.
Instead, they might be attacked from both sides and eliminated.
The Wulan clan has been running the royal court for many years, and it is no longer as simple as an ordinary residence for grassland residents.
Moreover, there are a large number of strong people gathered in it, so it is not difficult to defend it.
But if a third party joins, the situation will be completely different.
Within the demon army, except for the seemingly immovable shadow and black cloud, Wu Tong did not find any other special existence, such as the mysterious silver beetle king that appeared in the Royal Knights camp, a seemingly powerful demon king.
They have all moved into Tianyang Imperial City.
If there is no strong person to take the lead, no matter how many demons there are, they will be gradually eliminated by Bai Bing's strong people.
But the events that happened in the Imperial City were enough to show that in addition to demons, humans are also unreliable as always.
Even the leader of a country can betray his subordinates, let alone other external forces that have little to do with it.
To be able to make all the herdsmen around the royal court disappear so neatly, the demons cannot do it in terms of means or time, but humans can.
Of course, they couldn't have kidnapped these herdsmen just to invite them to tea.
There must be some unknown secret.
If these people cooperate with the demon army, it will not be completely hopeless to take over the royal court.
That's why Jiabao desperately sent the demons here, so that not only would she not be punished, but she would also gain further trust.
Perhaps Jiabao himself knew that his superiors did not fully trust her, and had been wary of her reuniting with Jiabao.
Although the cavalry had increased their speed and headed straight upstream, they could not arrive immediately because the distance was too far.
And because a fierce battle may occur after arriving, the cavalry cannot let go and run with all their strength.
After all, there are only less than 300 people, and an ordinary large caravan can surpass them.
If you run all the way, you will probably just deliver food to people when you arrive.
Along the way, Bertan found two more herders' felt bags.
They were intact as before.
The cattle and sheep were all there, but the herders had disappeared, leaving no trace.
This discovery made Wu Tong more confident in his judgment and allowed the cavalry to further speed up their riding.
If they were not worried about the safety of the royal court before, it was different now.
These cavalry are elite, and their treatment is naturally better than that of others.
Most of their family members live in the royal court.
Once the devil attacks the royal court, the first to bear the brunt will be the outer civilian residential areas.
You must know that the Royal Court has no city walls, and the terrain is flat, so the civilians don't even have a place to hide.
With worries and anger, Wu Tong and others finally arrived at the so-called "station" after spending a little time.
As expected, it is different from Tianyang.
The inns around the imperial city are all built on the basis of villages.
In addition, there are ordinary villagers living there, and there are also farmlands outside.
But in front of me, people in foreign costumes were coming and going.
Occasionally, one or two white ice men appeared, and they were basically the translators of the caravan.

This place is simply an autonomous region.
Even if an outside caravan kills someone here, the Ulan Palace will not care.
As long as the person who dies is not a Baibing person, everything else does not matter.
In other words, if these caravans did something shameful without telling the royal court, it would be really difficult to detect them.
"Botan, go up and ask."
After arriving, Wu Tong did not reveal his strength, but hid among the cavalry to avoid alerting the enemy.
The merchants were obviously a little confused about the arrival of the cavalry, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked over.
This is a gathering place for businessmen.
Even if the official people come, they are usually just tax officials.
There is no reason for the army to come here.
Therefore, the cavalry did not enter directly and chose to stop on the outside.
In order to make himself look more majestic, Bertan patted his face hard, and then stepped forward to cheer loudly to the businessmen, and he also deliberately used a thick accent.
It is said that doing this can distance the outside businessmen and make them feel awe.
I don't know who came up with the idea.
Bai Bing officials like to use this trick.
Probably because the black blood on Bertan's body had an effect, the merchants seemed a little scared and stepped back to keep distance from Bertan.
Then the local translators hired by the caravan gathered around and started chatting with Bertan in the same accent.
These translators were very experienced, and they stuffed some monetary gifts into Botan's hands, which left Botan at a loss as to whether he should accept them or not.
Wu Tong sighed when he saw them.
"What's wrong, sir?"
asked a young cavalryman next to Wu Tong.
He is Botan's nephew, named Batu.
He is not yet twenty this year, but he is already taller and stronger than Bertan.
He is also much smarter than Bertan and has a lot of future.
"Your uncle is too young."
Wu Tong shook his head.
Extraordinary times call for tactics.
Logically speaking, Bertin cannot accept bribes, but at such times, he should obviously take the money first and then deliberately give people the impression of being greedy for money.
This will make it easier to make excuses.
Sure enough, Bertin didn't accept the bribe, but he certainly couldn't find anything to say.
Those translators were all veterans.
They knew the rules of the army.
Officers like Bertan had no authority to govern the chamber of commerce, and Bertan's military rank was not high, so they were 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 over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Okay, sir, it's up to me."
Batu might not understand what Wu Tong said, but he was more flexible and did what Wu Tong wanted without thinking too much.
Moreover, Batu was smarter than Wu Tong imagined.
Wu Tong originally asked him to go alone, but Batu waved to several equally strong companions, drew his sword and rushed over, and deliberately rushed towards the local translators.
He reined in his horse in front of him, looking furious, which startled the translators who thought they had the situation under control.
The appearance of Batu immediately caused a chaotic situation.
This young man with a red face waved a big knife and roared at the merchants, foaming at the mouth.
Those translators originally wanted to deal with Batu in the same way as Botan, but they were kicked away by the latter, who looked extremely rude and rude.
The merchants who dared to wander outside were not afraid of trouble, but at this moment they seemed to understand Batu very well.
Not only did no one stand up to resist, but they even glanced at each other, as if they didn't trust the people around them.

"Sir, it's done."
Soon, Batu returned to the team happily and shouted to Wu Tong excitedly, "They are willing to let us check, no one objects."
"Well done, hum, now I don't believe I can't find him."
Wu Tong praised Batu.
In fact, this is a matter of course.
Those businessmen will be damned if they don't agree.
Batu had been shouting for a long time just now.
The general meaning was that they were all cavalry in the army and they were going home to visit relatives this time.
When I came back, I found that a man had discovered that his wife was pregnant.
After asking, I found out that it was a foreign businessman who had done it, so he came over to catch her.
Of course this incident was made up by Wu Tong, but it is very credible.
No women will be brought with them when going out in a caravan.
A large group of men will naturally feel lonely and unbearable if they stay together for a long time.
But the Baibing Empire does not allow the establishment of a red light district.
Foreign businessmen like them can only hold it in.
If they hold it in for a long time, problems of this kind will naturally arise.
But no matter how hard you hold it in, it is obviously a disgraceful act to mess with someone else's wife.
Forget about finding a prostitute, how can you hook up with a married woman?
Especially for businessmen like them who are away from home all year round, why don't they worry about their wives who live alone at home cheating on them and stealing other people's wives?
Often taboo in caravans.
From this point on, these businessmen not only did not think Batu's behavior was rude, but they looked excited and wanted to immediately pull out the black sheep and beat him up.
Since the merchants were all willing to cooperate, Wu Tong and others were naturally not polite and conducted a round of checks on each caravan.
Since they were just looking for people, the cavalry did not inspect the goods and would not arouse the resentment of the merchants.
What Wu Tong didn't expect was that the effect was surprisingly good.
When the cavalry passed by, all the old and young businessmen took the initiative to show their faces with arms crossed.
Naturally, they were not worried because they had done nothing wrong.
Instead, they kept an eye on other caravans to prevent them from deliberately hiding someone.
This is something Wu Tong did not expect.
These caravans are more or less competitive.
Once someone in the caravan does something like this, even though it is just a personal act, the entire caravan will definitely be implicated, and they may not even think about it in the future. .
As competitors, other caravans were very willing to see this kind of thing, and they unknowingly helped a lot.
When everyone else was pretending to look for the non-existent "adulterer", Wu Tong was not idle either, observing the expressions on their faces and comprehending them carefully.
Other businessmen may not be suspicious, but the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the herdsmen should be able to guess the real purpose of Wu Tong and others.
All the herdsmen, men, women, old and young, have disappeared.
Naturally, there can be no so-called cuckold incident.
On the other hand, it is very likely that the missing herders were 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 still feel the smell of blood or death.
Although Wu Tong is not good at this, he still has this ability.
Therefore, if you find someone with a guilty expression on their face, or simply refusing to let the cavalry inspect them, it is almost 100% the fault of that caravan.
It is impossible for everyone to be a born actor, Wu Tong believes that there will definitely be some clues.
