I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 227 Premonition

Qi Qige frowned and looked at Shen Xiaoye carefully, "Why should we abandon him? After we arrive at the Khan Court, we will be natural allies."

"Some allies are only temporary." Seeing that she was suspicious, Shen Xiaoye stopped talking and advised her, "Don't sit down. Hurry up and go to bed early to maintain your strength for tomorrow.

You go to sleep first, and we will take turns keeping watch for each other."

"Thank you." Qi Qige put her little nephew down and closed the oilcloth tent. She lay down and put the knife on her waist next to her. She did not sleep, but kept her eyes open and paid attention to the movements outside.

Occasionally, when she heard footsteps, she would involuntarily reach for her knife, and after a few times, she even hit an arrow.

Qi Qi Ge took it out and looked at it, but it was too dark to see clearly so he put it back.

Shen Xiaoye sat on the shaft of the cart. She could not hide the movement behind her. After she sighed softly, she concentrated her mind and began to meditate as Taoist Master Hengxi had taught her.

The night flows slowly...

Taoist Master Hengxi followed his senior brother and kept following the compass. After a while, he couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, you are using a compass that has gone wrong to point the way. Are you sure you are repairing it?"

Taoist Qingxi kept changing directions, his eyes never leaving the compass as he said, "I want to try to see where the chaos is. This place is very close to the Gobi Desert. Recording it will help future generations travel. You can go back if you want.

A large group of people just left, and the camp still needs someone to protect it."

"With Xuan Yue and the others here, nothing will happen." Heng Xi has great confidence in his fellow apprentices. With their high martial arts skills and well-trained soldiers at their side, if they are still bullied, it means that they are not skilled enough and need more training.

Since he had decided not to leave, he no longer tried to interfere with his senior brother's actions, but instead wondered whether the people in the camp would take advantage of the victory to launch a surprise attack on the "Wali" people's camp.

But his guess was not quite right. Shen Changsui and his men arrived at Molichi's camp and saw shouting and killing from afar. They just stayed outside to prevent anyone from escaping.

At the same time, we must intercept those who have escaped from the battlefield and have not returned to the camp.

Then, Guard Xia and Bart's men each led a few people to sneak in.

Bart said: "It's far different from the noise from the camp. It sounds like a bloodbath inside."

"Wait." Shen Changsui lowered his eyes and was actually in the mood to recite an essay given to him by his teacher. Alas, I hope this account can be concluded before July.

Everyone waited silently, and half an hour later the shouting and killing in the camp finally stopped.

Guard Xia and others also gradually came back to report: "The defense inside is very strict, and the sentries we bribed were unable to send anyone in.

They only sneaked into the homes of ordinary women in the outer circle. Later, many soldiers came to pick up young women and take them away.

From the noise, we learned that someone had purged the people of Taiji Molichi’s clan.”

Shen Changsui nodded slightly and asked those beside him, "Bart, Hud, Manda, how about charging the camp now? It's a good opportunity to save Molichi's relatives."

Bart and the other two leaders exchanged glances, then said, "They just went crazy. Why not wait for a while and strike when they enjoy a brief victory?"

Shen Changsui has his own reasoning: "If so, it would be disadvantageous to use the defeated party for your own benefit.

They themselves suffered defeat on the battlefield, and even if there is an internal purge now, there will still be many people who will not submit to the new leader.

If we storm the camp now, the people inside will not work together.

Moreover, those who sneak in here can cooperate with us from inside and outside before being discovered."

“As you said, it would be more effective if Morichi led his men to charge in.

I don’t want any more casualties, and there are still many unknowns on the road ahead.” Bart insisted.

Shen Changsui pondered for a moment and said, "Let's compromise and act in a quarter of an hour. If we wait too long, they will easily be discovered after they recover their strength."

"I think it's okay." Unt Hud also thought it would be best to do it all at once.

So they counted the time and prepared, and a quarter of an hour later they lit fire and fired thousands of arrows at once, instantly setting the camp ablaze.

With the help of an insider, they quickly rushed into the camp that had no protection from barricades, and killed many soldiers while they were drunk and dreaming.

So after a night, when Morichi and Lu Guan approached the camp and were picked up by Shen Changsui's Tangqi, they saw that Morichi's soldiers had decreased by seventy or eighty.

Faced with the mess and the loss of all his confidants, Morichi agreed to join them.

It was already evening when Shen Xiaoye saw her uncle and Lu Guan again.

The two groups merged into one, and the heads of each department of the caravan gathered together to discuss (quarrel), and finally distributed the benefits. After resting for a day, they set off on the third day.

The next part of the journey was a period of adjustment. Shen Xiaoye took the opportunity to rent twenty stronger women from Morichi's tribe in exchange for food and salt.

She knew very well that those who are capable should do more work, so she handed these people over to Senior Sister Xuan Yue for training, while she followed up and learned from the side.

Qi Qi Ge, who came to see her every day, felt that it was very necessary to learn from her, so he also rented things to the woman and gave them to the senior sister for training.

In just ten days, these well-fed women were trained to be like soldiers.

This aroused Wu Erda's vigilance. When they were about to leave the Gobi Desert, he asked Lu Guan and Bart to give an explanation.

The argument started again, and Shen Xiaoye was called aside by Taoist Qingxi, who said, "Come and look for it with us again today. I have a feeling it's nearby."

"Meow." The little black cat expressed its objection. It and Shen Xiaoye had to accompany the two Taoist priests to search for treasures of unknown location after training every day, and it had to run on the ground, which was very tiring.

At this time, no matter how much candy Taoist Qingxi took out, it was unwilling to move.

Shen Xiaoye hugged it tightly to comfort it, and asked: "If it's not here, should we keep looking for it on the road behind?"

Qingxi gave a definite answer: "You can only find it if you come across a river or a mountain outside the Gobi Desert."

After a pause, he continued, "According to my observation, there should be a mine in the terrain nearby."

"Gold mine?" Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but blurt out. Her uncle had compared the maps of the two time and space, and she knew that there were many mines in Mobei.

But what interested her most were the gold and silver mines.

"Gold and water are the source of beauty. Where have you seen a flowing river in this Gobi Desert?" Qingxi rolled his eyes.

Shen Xiaoye was a little disappointed, but she still cheered herself up and discussed it with Little Black Cat. The cat couldn't convince her and finally agreed to make another trip.

Of course, if she went, Shen Changsui and Lu Guan would take turns following her after discussing it.

When they were about to set off, Lu Guanle, who had just finished arguing, came riding over and said, "Shen Xiaoye, I have done a lot for your uncle so that he can have more time to study.

After he passes the examination to become a scholar, he must find a way to help me get into the Imperial College."

Shen Xiaoye said: "Not this year, my uncle probably won't be able to catch up with the entrance exam in June."

"Who told you the entrance exams will be held in June? This year, Shuntian Prefecture will hold the unified entrance exams in August.

Shen Changsui didn't tell you?" Lu Guan thought about it and thought it was possible.

Because this was adjusted by the emperor just before he went on the expedition this year.
