Hearing that Ye Ying's people wanted to find a Daning man, the people from these tribes were very enthusiastic and even took them to see their slaves, saying that their slaves were all strong and capable. Whoever the caravan needed would be Just bring it with you, of course you need to exchange certain supplies.
Ye Ying reluctantly rejected the suggestions of these northern barbarians. Although he wanted to rescue these Daning people in the northern barbarians, his ability was really limited and he could not help too many people.
Time flies very fast. It has been almost half a month since Ye Ying and his party came to Utu. During this half month, they entered many tribal settlements on the pretext of selling goods. It took a lot of effort, but they still managed to get the best results. Zhuge Ying could not be found.
In more than half a month, their search scope has expanded from Utu City to outside Utu City. It was initially a few miles outside the city, but now it has expanded to dozens of miles outside the city. I searched almost all the tribes here, which made everyone exhausted, but it was still in vain.
It has been some time since I left the village. Although there are people like Ge Shun and Chen Gang in the village, there shouldn't be any big problems. However, the long-term absence of the boss, Ye Ying, is not a good thing for the development of the village.
In this case, Ye Ying quickly made a decision to expand the scope of the search and search for several tribes a hundred miles away from Utu City. If he really couldn't find it, he had to return. Daning.
The Northern Barbarians are worthy of being a fighting nation. As the caravan moved forward, they could see battles between the two tribes almost everywhere. Some of them fought because of the hatred between the tribes, and some because they were supporters of the princes. Conquer each other.
Of course, Ye Yingren is unwilling to get involved in these battles. Therefore, whenever they encounter these battles, they either stop and wait, or they would rather take a long detour rather than be affected by these battles.
Some people in the caravan were moving forward. Their destination was a tribe more than a hundred miles away from Utu City. When they heard the sound of fighting in front of them, everyone immediately stopped as before, waiting for the fighting to end before continuing. Forward.
Not long after the caravan stopped in place, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. Everyone immediately looked up and saw two horses galloping towards them.
Everyone stood there and looked around, and soon they could clearly see the appearance of the two knights on the horse. They saw that the two men were in a very embarrassed state, with disheveled hair, ragged clothes, blood stains on their bodies, and panicked expressions on their faces. , it was clear that they were escapees from a fight in the distance.
As if to confirm everyone's guess, the sound of horse hooves and shouts were heard from behind, and then dust could be seen flying in the distance. It was obvious that someone was chasing after them.
At this time, the two horses in front were very close to the caravan, and everyone could clearly see the two knights on the horses. One was a middle-aged man with a sharp face, and the other was a young man with dark skin.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately drove the accompanying carriages and horses to the roadside, leaving a passage for the knights on horseback to pass.
The sharp-faced man and the young man passed by the caravan on horseback. They just turned their heads and looked at the people. When they heard the shouting from behind became more and more clear, they did not dare to stop at all and rode directly through. This situation made the businessmen dressed in the caravan pass by. Everyone in the Flying Eagle Club breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, everyone felt relieved again. It turned out that the sharp-faced man suddenly tightened the reins of his horse and stopped in place. When the swarthy young man saw this, although he was a little confused, he also stopped.
The sharp-faced man quickly turned his horse around, rode directly in front of the caravan, and then actually got off the horse.
"Everyone, we are the Third Prince's people. We encountered an enemy ambush today. I hope you can help us overcome this difficulty. I, Wang Keda, would be very grateful!" The sharp-faced man actually raised his hands to everyone and said loudly.
This sudden scene left everyone at a loss. Everyone turned their attention to Ye Ying to see what he would say.
Ye Ying suddenly had a headache. Looking at this situation, these two people were already covered with injuries. It was only a matter of time before they were caught up by the people behind them. Unexpectedly, this sharp-faced man was also cunning, and he actually thought of diverting the trouble to the east. idea.
"Sorry, we are just ordinary businessmen and cannot help you." In desperation, Ye Ying could only reply aloud.
"Your Excellency didn't explain, how could an ordinary caravan bring so many weapons? As long as you help us get through this difficulty, I will definitely report it to His Highness the Third Prince, and then it will open the door to your caravan." Then The sharp-faced man named Wang Keda still didn't give up.
Despite what the sharp-faced man said nicely, Ye Ying still had no intention of taking a dip in this muddy water. It was obvious that this guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks had no good intentions and planned to drag his own people into the water. Just when Ye Ying was about to refuse again, the pursuers in front of him had already arrived.
There were five or six Northern Barbarians chasing after them, each holding a sword. When they saw the two they were chasing, they actually stopped running and saw Ye Ying and others on the side. These northern barbarians were a little confused about the situation and stopped not far in front of the caravan.
"It's okay if you don't take action. Don't speak later, otherwise, you will all die miserably." Wang Keda said softly beside Ye Ying, and then walked a few steps towards the pursuing soldiers. He took a few steps and stopped very close to them.
"Wang Keda, why didn't you and your son run away?" A scar-faced leader of the group of people chasing them shouted loudly, but he looked at Ye Ying and others with a wary look.
"Zu Dacheng, you Jiaolu tribe are all despicable people, and you unexpectedly attacked me. Now the Third Prince's spies are here. If you don't surrender obediently, your life will be in danger if there is any delay." Wang Keda turned around and looked. Looking at Ye Ying, he gave him a sharp expression, and when he turned away, he had an arrogant look on his face.
Seeing Wang Keda's appearance, the northern barbarian named Zu Dacheng obviously believed it, because if these people were not from the third prince, Wang Keda would never dare to stop and wait for him and others.
"Are you really sent by His Highness the Third Prince?" Zu Dacheng was a little unwilling. Seeing that he was about to catch up with these two guys, something unexpected happened.
Zu Dacheng's words made Ye Ying hesitate, because no matter how he answered, he might offend someone. He had been careful not to cause trouble for everyone, but he didn't expect to still get into trouble.
"We are businessmen." After thinking for a while, Ye Ying said something ambiguous.
After hearing Ye Ying's words, Zu Dacheng took a closer look at the caravan and saw that all the people in the caravan were young and strong, and they were carrying weapons. It seemed that they all had some skills. Although there were some goods piled on the carriages, It is indeed a little different from ordinary caravans.
If you really take action, you and others will probably not get any benefit. This sneak attack has achieved great results, and letting one or two people go is not a big deal. Zu Dacheng looked at Ye Ying and others, thought quickly in his mind, and made a decision quickly.
"For the sake of the third prince, let's spare these two guys today and let's go!" After Nazu Dacheng said this, he actually turned around and mounted his horse, leading a group of people towards the rear.
Seeing Zu Dacheng leading the people to evacuate, Ye Ying stood there without saying a word. He knew that he had not fully revealed his identity and was actually indirectly helping Wang Keda and his son. Anyway, his group was about to leave Beiman, and he hoped not to Because of this matter, it may cause trouble.
"I, Wang Keda, am very grateful for your help. If you need help in the future, I, the Jeddah tribe, will definitely not stand idly by." Wang Keda saw the pursuers leave, but he felt much more relaxed.
"Help is out of the question, and you don't owe us any favors. As long as you don't cause us any trouble, please leave on your own!" Ye Ying didn't know if his choice was correct at this time, and he just hoped that this matter would not cause any complications. .
When things go wrong for people, they will do whatever they are afraid of. Ye Ying is in this state at this time.
Before Wang Keda and his son could leave, another sound of people shouting and neighing came from behind, and this sound was quickly approaching Ye Ying and others.
After only a few breaths, a large group of figures appeared in front of everyone, and the one running at the front was Zu Dacheng who had just left.
However, Wang Keda and his son did not run away at this time. This was their wise choice. Because they were all injured, they could not escape. Instead of being shot by random arrows, it was better to stay and wait for the opportunity.
It didn't take long before Zu Dacheng and others came to the front of the caravan again, but this time they came with more people, more than a hundred people.
"Young patriarch, it's them." As soon as he stopped his horse, Zu Dacheng turned to a young northern barbarian and said.
"I heard that you are from His Highness the Third Prince?" Although this young boy from the Northern Barbarians is young, he looks like an old man in the world. He looked at the others with unruly eyes.
"As I said just now, we are just businessmen and have nothing to do with His Highness the Third Prince." At this time, Ye Ying knew that he had to reveal his identity. There was no need to put himself in danger for strangers like Wang Keda and his son. middle.
"Look at your courage." After hearing Ye Ying's words, the northern barbarian boy said to Zu Dacheng with some dissatisfaction.
"How dare you tease me, I'll take them all down." Hearing the Northern Man boy's words, Zu Dacheng was a little embarrassed, but he quickly turned his embarrassment into anger.
"We are just a caravan, but you have misunderstood." Ye Ying explained loudly, but these northern barbarians didn't want to give Ye Ying and others a chance to explain, and still pressed forward step by step with swords in hand.
Seeing this scene, the caravan members immediately retreated slowly and approached the direction of the carriage, because most of their weapons were on the carriage.
"You come with us first, and we will let you go after we figure out the situation." Seeing that the war was about to break out, the Northern Barbarian boy said from the side.
Hearing this situation, Ye Ying felt very helpless, but if he took action now, his own people would definitely suffer. It was better to follow them first, and then find an opportunity to leave.
Thinking of this, Ye Ying immediately winked at Qi Jiao and told them not to act rashly. Although Qi Jiao had a bad temper, she obeyed Ye Ying's words, so she gave up the idea of taking action.
Everyone in the caravan saw that the two leaders Qi Jiao and Shan Fu had no intention of taking action, so they stood quietly and waited for the development of the matter.
The group of Northern Barbarians did not seem to have any intention of embarrassing Ye Ying and others, but they were not willing to let them leave. In this case, the caravan members had no other choice but to follow the Northern Barbarians. They did not know what to do. Where to go.
Following the team forward, Ye Ying took the opportunity to learn about the situation. It turned out that Zu Dacheng and his party were all members of the Jiaolu tribe. The Jiaolu tribe was a force that supported the eldest prince. It had always been at odds with the Jeddah tribe, which supported the third prince. There were frequent conflicts between the two sides. Fight.
This time, Wang Keda and his son from the Jeddah tribe went out to do errands with a group of more than a dozen people, but they were accidentally targeted by people from the Jeddah tribe. The group was attacked by the Jeddah tribe. Most of them were caught or killed, but Wang Keda The father and son narrowly escaped after being injured.
The current destination of the people of the Horned Deer Tribe is a green space dozens of miles away from here, which is the base camp of the Horned Deer Tribe.
The group of people stopped and walked for more than an hour before covering more than a dozen miles. Seeing that it was getting late, they decided to camp at a place with a water source and prepare to rush back to the Horned Deer tribe at dawn tomorrow.
Ye Ying is very happy about the choice of the Horned Deer Tribe, because camping here for one night will give him and others a much greater chance of escaping at night. Once they reach the Horned Deer Tribe's sphere of influence, it will definitely be more difficult to escape. Much more.
