Yun Shang is deaf and dumb, so it is naturally not suitable to check what happened.
Two hidden guards walked over together, and Yun Shang vaguely heard the voice of talking from there, and after a while, the hidden guard came back: "The caravan supervisor over there said that someone from their side stole I bought the goods in the caravan, and I am going to run back with my things while I have just entered the desert."
"Stole the goods?"
"This should be just an excuse to cover people's ears. The subordinate has good ears and heard someone whispering on their side, saying that the subordinate hooked up with the supervisor's concubine, and the two eloped."
Yun Chang's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, picked up a stick, and wrote in front of her: "Did you run away?"
"Run away, it's just that the supervisor has already sent someone to chase after him." The dark guard whispered, "I'm afraid it's because everyone's vigilance will be a little lower in the desert, and since we just entered the desert today, we haven't left yet." It’s far away, and it’s easier to run back.”
Yun Shang shook her head, and quickly wrote: "Send a hidden guard to chase after him, either deal with it secretly, or find the place where the hidden stake in the city is and lock it up."
Liu Man raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang, thoughtfully, lowered his voice, and said in a breathless voice: "The master is afraid, whether it is a fake stealing the goods and running away, or elopement, there are some of them , or there is something wrong with their entire caravan, and we showed our flaws, or they recognized the master and secretly sent someone away to report the news?"
Yun Chang nodded, with a bit of sternness in his eyes: "In this extraordinary period, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Tomorrow, you should send a signal first to let our people in front of them know about it, and then we will think about it." Find a way to separate from them, and then ask the people in front to keep an eye on them, and if there is anything unusual, then..."
Yun Chang raised her hand and made a gesture on her neck.
It's just that if it's really as she expected, she really doesn't know where they showed their flaws.
Liu Man's face was solemn: "This subordinate understands."
After a pause, he continued: "Why don't you ask someone to give them some drug, the drug will be a little lighter, and we will leave before dawn tomorrow morning and go to the front."
Yun Shang pondered for a moment: "Also."
There was still noise coming from there, so the secret guard went over to inquire about the news again: "It is said that they have already run far away, and the people sent did not catch up. It is very dangerous in the desert in the middle of the night, and they dare not go any further. If you chase, you can only come back."
"The supervisor said that in the middle of the night, there are wolves hiding in the desert, not only wolves, but also snakes and scorpions. Even if they escape, they may not be able to get out alive."
Yun Chang nodded, but it was exactly as she expected, they would not bring it back, if they brought it back, how would they send a message
It was noisy in the middle of the night, and the voice over there gradually became quieter. After a while, the desert became quiet again.
Liu Man gestured towards Yun Shang, and quickly disappeared in place. After a while, Liu Man came back and ordered everyone to pack up and prepare to go.
The sky was already a little pale, and the dark guards were well trained, and soon packed up everything and set off.
Changed positions with the caravan disguised as a hidden guard in front, and surpassed two more caravans. At noon, the group stopped to rest.
"The caravan led by Liu Meng deliberately lagged behind and was next to that caravan. That caravan really came to inquire about us. Liu Mengming secretly inquired about us, and the steward of the caravan Said that they suspected that we were spies of the Xia Kingdom, worried that we were going to investigate the situation of Wuerhe City, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to attack, so they wanted to send someone to report... "
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows: "Do you suspect that we are Xia Guo's spies? Why did he have the suspicion?"
"It is said that some of us put the gold ornaments on the belt in the wrong direction. In Yelang Kingdom, ordinary people's gold ornaments should be on the left side of the belt, and only the gold ornaments of the person you like are placed on the right side of the belt."
"who?"
"dead."
"..." Yun Shang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she never thought that it was because of such a small detail that people became suspicious.
Liu Man's complexion is also a bit uneasy: "It is true that many of our hidden piles have lived in Yelang for two or three years, but they are always good at imitating, and they can do whatever they see Yelang people do. It’s just that I don’t know that there is such a particularity in it. It’s because of such negligence that this happened.”
Liu Man frowned: "This happened as soon as we entered the Yelang country. If we don't pay more attention, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide our identities in front of the really careful people of Yelang country."
Yun Shang nodded: "That's right."
Liu Man pondered for a moment: "In Yelang Kingdom, we bought a few Yelang people to do fine work, but they were in Yelang Country, and the subordinates thought that they would be more useful there, so they didn't call them in advance, so we did it. This has led to the current situation.”
"To be on the safe side, why don't we go back to the border of Xia Kingdom, call people over, let them check it carefully, and then tell us about the taboos and customs in Yelang Kingdom, and then start again?"
Yun Chang frowned, this is indeed the safest way.
It's just that the letter must be sent to Yelang Kingdom first, and then the people will come again. This time, it will take at least half a month to delay.
Half a month...
Yun Shang really hesitated in her heart.
Half a month is enough for them to get out of this desert.
Yunshang kept rubbing her fingers, and said after a long while: "There is no need to turn back. Now send a letter to let people rush to our side. We continue to move forward, and we should almost be able to meet in Wuerhe City."
"Let's change the gold ornaments on the belt first. From here to Urho City, let's try to keep a low profile, don't talk to other caravans easily, and hurry up."
This is also a compromise.
Liu Man pondered for a moment, then agreed: "This subordinate will make arrangements now."
Hurrying is probably very difficult.
In particular, they are traveling in the desert, and they are not familiar with the desert and are not used to it.
After driving for several days, they started their journey every morning as soon as the sky turned white, and they didn't stop until the middle of the month at night. If a caravan asked about it on the way, they would say that something happened at home and they were in a hurry. Go back and deal with it.
After a few days, Yunshang and the others were all tired.
"We have been rushing for four days in a row. About tomorrow evening, we should be able to pass the checkpoint outside Wuerhe City."
Yun Shang took a sip of water from the water bottle that Liu Man handed over, but her eyes were not relieved, but worried: "We have used the excuse of rushing to avoid too in-depth communication with other caravans, but tomorrow we will To pass the customs, you have to be inspected, and I don’t know if there will be any problems... "
