Ren Ning stood outside the tent chatting with You Meng without going in.
He wasn't going to go in either.
Like Youmeng, he knew it in his heart.
Since I am just a guest passing by to help out, and not the master of the Kailun tribe, I will not act as my substitute.
The reason why he stayed to help was of course because the three patriarchs had helped him before. In addition, Kai Lun has always been close to the Yunzhui Empire, and it is his duty as a Yunzhui scout to help them survive.
Not long after, the three clan leaders and their group changed tents.
They came over to invite the two of them, and Ren Ning and Youmeng walked in.
After a while of pleasantries, the three clan leaders pointed to a place in the north of the map.
"The horse thief confessed. He said that if he comes here this time, he can take back the people who were caught last night. He needs to get here at sunset to meet the other horse thieves."
He looked up at Ren Ning: "Brother Ning, what do you think we should do?"
Ren Ning frowned, "This map is too crudely drawn. Chief of the three clans, you are so careless, no one knows where it is."
Ahem!
A group of people looked strange and coughed desperately.
Allen stood up to help his clan leader, "Brother Ning, the horse thief said he is about fifty miles northwest of Kailun."
Ren Ning's brows were still furrowed.
The northwest is a large direction, and it is also a broad area. Just like the map, I still can't tell the exact location.
He looked at the sky.
"It's getting late now. With your horse power, it will take a long time to come and go. My horse runs fast, so I'll go alone to check the situation first."
The tent full of Kelun people were depressed, but Ren Ning said it was true, but they were unable to refute it.
Allen's face was even more worried.
"Brother Ning, this is too dangerous. There are more than seventy horse thieves. If you happen to run into them head-on, you'll be in trouble."
Ren Ning smiled and shook his head: "It's not troublesome. My horse runs fast, and it's easy for a person to escape."
Others suddenly became even more depressed.
Just say that our Kailun horses are a burden.
Ren Ning didn't explain either.
He chuckled and continued: "I think it's better for you to stay in Kailun."
"Given the ability of this group of horse thieves, they should come to retaliate. Some of the horse thieves have probably broken into pieces and sneaked around the tribe. If everyone leaves, they will take the opportunity to come in and kill people and set fire to them."
"This has to be guarded against."
Everyone was shocked and started talking about it. The slight depression from before was immediately forgotten.
Ren Ning didn't waste any time.
He wanted to check out the situation, and people outside couldn't control it for that long.
Furthermore, Kailun can grow from a small tribe to more than 30,000 people. The three clan leaders are not idiots and can always find ways to protect themselves.
After saying a few more words, he led Zhui Feng out who was well fed and drunk. Ren Ning asked the three clan leaders for a pot of arrows, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared on the northwest horizon.
With the strength of Chai Feng's legs, fifty miles was indeed not a long journey, and it didn't take long for him to get there.
Because of the fires and floods, there was a flat and sparse grassland in front of us. There is no place to hide for miles around, it's clear to see.
Ren Ning looked around and saw that it was still early before sunset, so he drove his horse and ran towards the high point to the west.
As he walked, he touched the arrow pot on his back. Before leaving the fortress, Ren Ning took three cloud-piercing arrows with him.
If there is a last resort, you can launch into the sky and ask for help from Yunzhui scouts lurking around you or passing caravans.
But the current situation is unclear, so don’t waste it yet.
Climb to the highest point and have a commanding view of everything. It's just that he and his horse have become the focus of attention from far and near.
But Ren Ning was not afraid at all.
He has a telescope and can spot the horse thief before he can see him clearly. At that time, whether you want to run or kill, you can deal with it calmly.
Time passed quickly and the sun had set in the west.
Ren Ning kept looking around with his telescope, but he didn't see anyone at all.
He waited a while longer.
Until the sun completely set in the west and the surroundings became quiet, the horse thief was still not found.
Ren Ning did not wait any longer and decisively mounted his horse and left.
drive!
His goal continues westward!
Running Deer Tribe!
Kai Lun frowned and despised such a dirty thing as poisoning the water source.
Then kill the person who came up with this dirty idea.
It took some time to travel nearly four hundred miles. When Ren Ning arrived at the Benlu tribe, the sky was already filled with stars.
The clatter of horse hooves just approached.
"who?"
A guard stood up and stopped Ren Ning with open hands.
He had a weapon on his body, but he didn't hold it in his hand, and he even burped.
Ren Ning jumped off the horse and walked over anxiously.
"Brother, I am a caravan guard passing by. Someone in the team is seriously ill and wants to come over to ask for some medicine. I wonder if you can help find a doctor from your tribe?"
After saying that, he stuffed a few coins into the opponent's hand without any reason.
The Benlu tribe has its own settlement, and passing caravans or travelers come to ask for help. This happens from time to time.
The guards were not surprised either.
Seeing Ren Ning's downcast appearance, he was about to warn him, but after squeezing the copper plate in his hand, he just muttered a few times.
"We don't need copper coins..."
Even so, he happily put the coin in his pocket.
Xiliang is in short supply of various minerals, and copper plates are indeed not in circulation.
However, Yun Chui's caravans would pass by Benlu from time to time, and copper plates could be traded with the caravans. It's also money to them.
Despite being paid, the guard did not take him in and instead called another guard.
The two of them chattered non-stop about how they broke their legs from standing guard so late in the night, but there was no benefit to be gained from it.
With a pained expression on his face, Ren Ning took some more coins and distributed them to them.
"Brothers, save lives like putting out fire, so do your best. When our caravan passes by here tomorrow morning, we will definitely come in and thank your tribe for your life-saving grace."
The two guards' eyes lit up.
At this time, most of the caravans heading east were from Yunchui, who were anxious to go home for the New Year.
The Benlu tribe, like Kailun, is already very close to the Yunchui border. The caravans returning all the way are eager to get back home, and they usually don't come here specially when passing by.
Recently, there were fires and heavy rains, and the running deer was also very unlucky. Now he was looking forward to exchanging some things with the passing caravans for the winter.
"Brother, can your caravan really come over?"
The two guards seemed to have changed into different persons, and they instantly became cheerful and smiling.
By the firelight, they looked carefully at Ren Ning and his horse.
Ren Ning couldn't see anything yet, but Zhui Feng made the two guards' eyes light up.
What a horse!
The best horse ever!
The two knew what they were selling, but they quickly became alert.
A guard can ride such a good horse. What kind of caravan is this?
cough!
Ren Ning coughed.
"Actually, this is not my horse, but the master's. Our caravan is currently in the south, still far away from the Benlu tribe. Someone in the caravan is seriously ill, and the master asked me to ride his horse over to buy some medicine."
No wonder, it turned out to be the owner’s horse.
After hearing what Ren Ning said, the two of them lost interest.
However, when they heard the word "south" at the end, they became anxious again.
To the south of Benlu and further east is the Kailun tribe.
Since they are not welcome here, the caravan will probably go directly to the Kailun tribe tomorrow morning, and it will be on the way anyway.
"Brother, I'm sorry." The two of them laughed and explained quickly.
"Some time ago, the Yanchui Fortress sent a large army to the west. A little to the west of our tribe, they fought with the Xiliang army until the sky was dizzy. Therefore, seeing the Yunchui people now will inevitably make them think more."
Well!
Ren Ning was noncommittal.
He said vaguely: "We are just a passing caravan."
One of them nodded quickly: "We at Benlu welcome caravans the most."
"Brother, let's go!" The other man turned sideways quickly, "I will take you to the best doctor in the tribe."
"Thank you." Ren Ning was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "Our caravan has its own doctor, but we just didn't pay attention during the long journey and missed one of the medicines."
He told me the name of the medicine.
It is really an ordinary medicinal material, at least the two guards have heard of it.
They looked at each other.
"Brother, if you only need this medicine, I'll go find the doctor and get it for you."
He suggested: "Why don't you take this opportunity to talk to our clan leader about the situation of the caravan? Anyway, you will be coming tomorrow. We can prepare in advance. Maybe we can trade something by then."
The other one hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
"Even though we have a small number of people in Benlu, we are located at the junction of east and west and are rich in products. We may be able to bring a big business to your caravan."
"this……"
Ren Ning raised his head and looked anxiously at the sky, and then at the guard in front of him who looked sincere but did not move.
He didn't hesitate for long, "Okay, I'll go visit the leader of the noble tribe. But I'm just a guard, I can't be a master..."
The two guards looked at each other proudly, "It's okay, brother, just take the message back to the caravan."
Who would believe that he is just an ordinary caravan guard who can ride such a tall horse like his master?
The two of them didn't believe it.
They called others to replace themselves, and then happily split up.
Half an hour later, Ren Ning took the medicine and disappeared into the night with a smile on his face.
