After looking at Sun Tu for a long time, Feng Ping slowly showed a touch of bitterness on his face: "Three years ago, I had fifty-seven brothers. It was just like today. My brothers and I escorted a caravan. Heading to the Xia Kingdom. As a result, we were attacked by a group of fierce horse bandits on the Gobi Desert... "
Speaking of this, it seemed to arouse the fear and hatred in his heart. The muscles on Feng Ping's face also trembled rapidly, and the scar became a little distorted: "I thought that unless I met the brother under my hand, Otherwise, ordinary bandits would not be a threat at all. But in the end of that battle... fifty-seven brothers were all killed, and no one in the caravan survived. Only I was lucky enough to be hit by a knife in the face and an arrow in the heart. Even those horse bandits thought I was dead, but they let me survive. I may be the only person who has survived the Gray Wolf's sword in these years." After saying this, he suddenly unbuttoned his upper body. , exposing the body.
Even Sun Tu's expression changed after seeing the scars all over his body, especially the shocking arrow wound in his heart. This arrow hit right at the heart. Most people would have died long ago, but the Feng Ping in front of him is still alive and kicking. Compared to this, the scar on his face is nothing.
After a while, Sun Tucai said: "You must have been born with a different body, and your heart was born on the right side, so you escaped this disaster, right?"
Feng Ping was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Brother Sun is indeed well-informed. I am indeed different from others. That's why I was not killed by the gray wolf group. But after that battle, I am no longer the helpless person I was before." The feared Kuai Dao Feng is leveled. At least when facing them, I dare not say that I am sure of winning, or even self-protection. Now my brothers are not as good as before. If I are really targeted by the gray wolf this time ,I am afraid… "
Sun Tu felt calm after the other party said it. At least he didn't have to worry that this person was the horse thief's internal agent in the team. However, he still didn't believe that the horse thieves could be as strong as they said. If they were so, they would be willing to keep wandering in the Gobi. They should have gone to Liao Xia and other countries long ago to obtain more benefits.
After pondering for a moment, Sun Tu said seriously: "Since you have fought with them, you should know some details about them. Are they really that strong? Kill your brothers and everyone without any effort? Not even a little bit damaged yourself?"
"Of course not. In fact, the ferocity of the gray wolves is secondary, and their cunning is the most terrifying. The reason why we were wiped out that day was actually due to several reasons. One was that we were caught off guard by them, and the other was that the gray wolves There were more than two hundred people in one group, several times the number of my brothers. Thirdly, many people in our team lost the ability to resist at that time, and they were all poisoned somehow... "
Because of the fear of the gray wolf, Feng Ping has not carefully recalled the specific details of that day in the past three years. Today, when Sun Tu pressed him like this, he revealed some key points. Sun Tu frowned slightly after hearing this. Judging from the current situation, the first two of the three unfavorable factors three years ago are no longer a problem. Now everyone has taken precautions, and the number of people and horses In fact, this caravan is not much less than the horse bandits. Since those merchants dare to travel thousands of miles to sell horses, how can they be helpless people? If they are really in dire straits, they will still be able to fight. . And as long as you direct it properly, this
More than a hundred people are still worth hundreds of people.
The most critical thing now is the last point of poisoning! How could those horse bandits do this or know this? From Sun Tu's point of view, this should be what Gray Wolf did in secret. Did they suddenly poison the caravan while it was slacking off, or did they use other means? For example, there is an insider from the Gray Wolf in this team.
The last point is the most critical. If there is a horse bandit in the team, the situation of everyone will be really dangerous. This is not only reflected in the possibility of being plotted by them, but the point is that the team will be suspicious of each other and unable to unite as one. The real danger is if there is internal division even when there are external enemies.
So very quickly, he raised an extremely crucial point: "Since you survived that day, have you checked whether there are any missing people in that caravan?"
Feng Ping understood what Sun Tu meant in a moment, and quickly shook his head: "When I woke up that day, I also wanted to save a few people, but in the end, a team of hundreds of people died there, and there was not a single missing person. .So there can be no Gray Wolf accomplices in the team.”
Sun Tu nodded. This was actually easy to understand. After all, poisoning most people was not something that one or two people could easily do. In this way, it is easy to guess the methods of the horse bandits: "Did you find running water before the attack? Was it after you were attacked there to get water?"
"This..." Feng Ping lowered his head and recalled for a while. Originally, he might not be able to recall the details of three years ago, but after all, this incident changed his life, so after thinking about it for a while, he finally decided Then he thought about it: "Yes, I remember that we had just filled a broken river with water the day before, and we were attacked by gray wolves the next night..."
"The problem lies in the water." Sun Tu asserted: "Obviously these horse bandits have long been familiar with the terrain and water sources in the Gobi. As long as they find traces of the caravan, they will be able to guess your route and start early. One step is to put poison in the water source that you must pass through. Then, just wait for you to drink the poisonous water, and they can easily harvest it. This creates an impression of their invincibility and power. In fact, after all, the gray wolf also They are just an ordinary horse bandit!"
Feng Ping's expression changed several times. Although what Sun Tu said was just speculation, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what he said was very reasonable. The reason why I lost to the horse bandit leader at that time was because I suddenly ran out of strength, and then someone shot a cold arrow from the side and hit me in the heart, and I almost died at their hands. If they were really powerful enough to kill him at will, why would they have to play so many tricks
In addition, Feng Ping also somewhat understood the reason why there were never any survivors under the Gray Wolf's men, because they were worried that their little tricks would be seen through. As long as their method of poisoning water sources is discovered, the threat of the gray wolves will naturally be reduced by half, and the caravan will no longer be unable to fight back.
At the same time, he also noticed that Sun Tu seemed to have some plans: "Brother Sun, what do you mean?"
"Now that we know what their methods are, and we also know that they are spying on us from the side, and can even control when they will take action, the situation is completely different." Sun Tu narrowed his eyes. : "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, so how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? It's not easy to get around here, and we can't spend too much time raising it."
We are on guard against this horse bandit, so we might as well get rid of this trouble before we hit the road. "
After a pause, he asked again: "With Brother Feng's familiarity with the Gobi, how far do you think it is from our nearest water source?"
"Well...if we follow the normal itinerary, we can reach a small lake from tonight to tomorrow morning."
"Then we can even calculate when the horse bandits will launch a sneak attack on us. Whether we calculate mentally or not, no matter how powerful they are, they are no match for us!" Sun Tu said confidently: "Brother Feng, are you willing to follow suit? Let me kill this one together so that I can avenge your dead brothers?"
Feng Ping changed color again, but finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, as you said, this time we will have a good fight with the gray wolf to pay homage to the spirits of the brothers who were killed three years ago!" However, after the words came out, he said vaguely: "But where are the others..." Fortunately for his brother, other businessmen may not have such courage and determination.
Sun Tu smiled: "Besides taking a risk, is there any other better way to protect themselves? I believe they know how to choose. Besides, as long as they follow my arrangements, they may not be in much danger... " With that said, he turned around and walked towards the camp, in order to speak directly to everyone.
￥￥￥￥￥
On the dark and chilly Gobi desert, two figures were running quickly. They were not riding horses, but their speed was still very fast, and there was not much movement. However, when they came to a weathered cliff, they were quickly surrounded by people: "Gray Wolf Howling at the Moon"
"The blood is in the air!" After saying the incision, a few people on the side stepped out of the way, and then asked with a smile: "How about it, did those fat sheep fall into the trap?"
"Of course, everything is according to the master's plan. They camped by Caima Lake today. We even saw them fetching water from the lake for cooking..." The two of them also replied with a smile, but there was something in their smiles. There is a trace of murderous intention.
Hearing this conversation, a man who was leaning against the mountain wall to rest his mind suddenly opened his eyes. The man's eyes were dark, like a fierce and cunning wolf. Then he said hoarsely: "Then we should take action. Next One night, it will be their end!"
These words immediately caused a burst of excited laughter from the surrounding companions, and everyone showed a greedy and bloodthirsty look. These guys are able to get together because of these qualities. They haven't made a move in a few months, so naturally they want to have a good time this time.
However, after dark the next day, someone brought them slightly surprising news. The caravan did not continue on the road tonight as they had predicted, but stationed at Nacaima Lake.
How could this be? Everyone was a little surprised. For these caravans, every day is very precious, so that they can get out of the Gobi as soon as possible and reach Xia Kingdom faster. But this time, they actually stayed in the Gobi. Why
Could it be that the other party sensed some danger
For a moment, everyone turned their attention to their leader, waiting for him to make a judgment and decision!
