Having just said goodbye to the leader of the Qier tribe, Zhang Xifan turned around and took a look, and immediately said to everyone with a serious face: "Speed ​​up and get to the next destination as soon as possible."

Ren Donghao said strangely: "There's still enough time. Does Brother Zhang have anything to do?"

Of course, there is something to do. If you walk slower, you might be targeted by someone sent by the Qil tribe.

Zhang Xifan would not be naive enough to think that the leader of the Qi'er tribe really wanted to make friends with him.

According to Ren Donghao, the Qier tribe does not have much gold and silver, but more fur.

But when Zhang Xifan saw the other party carrying two large boxes of gold, his heart skipped a beat.

Why did they give you all the gold and silver of the entire tribe?

For these Beiqiong people who are born with a violent factor, the Glass Sirius who did not molest Zhang Xifan on the spot was afraid that Zhang Xifan would go out and spread rumors.

The Glass Sirius is of great significance to the people of Beiqiong.

Watching the caravan in front of me go away.

Next to the leader of the Qi'er tribe, a tall and thick man asked: "Chief, why did we give all our gold and silver to them? Hasn't the transaction been completed?"

A hint of ambition flashed in the eyes of the leader of the Qi'er tribe, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Send someone to prepare and bring all the gold and silver back at the front pass. Be careful not to be discovered and leave no one alive."

The other party then smiled and nodded: "Okay! No one will be left alive." The other party agreed very happily. It was obviously not the first time he had done this kind of thing.

There is a reason why the leader of the Qil tribe is willing to give so much gold and silver.

If he didn't give it, Zhang Xifan would spread the word about it on the spot, and the leader of the Qi'er tribe wouldn't be able to benefit from it.

He wanted to do something with the glass Sirius statue, but he also needed to make preparations. If word spread, the King of Beidong would directly send people to kill him, which would not be worth the loss for him.

Even if it wasn't for the gold and silver, he wouldn't have been able to let Zhang Xifan leave alive.

If one more person knows that he has Sirius on his hands, he will be in more danger.

Although Zhang Xifan could only guess one of the reasons, his vigilance was useful.

During the conversation between the two, he had mentioned another purpose of his next, but after they left the sight of the Qil tribe, they took another path under the leadership of Ren Donghao.

At this time, Zhang Xifan was lying on a hillside on another road, holding a telescope in his hand. He could clearly see the group of masked horse bandits riding horses, holding scimitars in their hands.

He went down the hillside and asked Ren Donghao next to him: "Are there any horse bandits near Qilbu Na?"

Ren Donghao answered with an affirmative look: "Of course not! No matter how powerful those horse bandits are, how powerful can they be with the cavalry? The horse bandits all travel in uninhabited places on the grassland. The horse bandits from medium-sized tribes like the Qier tribe simply don't dare to Come and grab it.”

It was determined that the route taken by the group of horse bandits was exactly the route they wanted to take to their next destination, and they also came from the direction of the Qil tribe.

Based on what Ren Donghao said, Zhang Xifan was certain that the people dressed as horse bandits must be from the Qi'er tribe.

Their purpose is self-evident.

"Then why did I just see a group of horse bandits heading towards our destination in the direction of the Qil tribe?"

Facing Zhang Xifan's doubts, Ren Donghao's eyes flashed with shock. "Impossible! There are no horse bandits near the Qier tribe. Horse bandits usually take a detour when they come here!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that Ren Donghao had been doing business in this grassland with his caravan all year round, and he was not a fool.

"They want to rob us?!" No wonder Zhang Xifan asked them to take another route and speed up.

"You just realized it?" Zhang Xifan said calmly.

Ren Donghao immediately grabbed Zhang Qifan's arm nervously, "How could this happen? The Qier tribe has always had a good reputation and has never heard of any robbery of a caravan!"

"Never heard of it? Is it possible that the caravans that were robbed have been silenced."

Ren Donghao suddenly turned pale and explained: "Brother Zhang, I... I really don't know about this. If I knew, I would definitely not bring you here... I..."

Zhang Xifan patted the nervous Ren Donghao and said, "Okay, I didn't say you did it on purpose."

He patted the hand crossbow on his waist with his hand, "Even if you really meant it, you still wouldn't be able to run away."

Ren Donghao was so frightened by Zhang Xifan's warning actions and words that he froze in place.

After being stunned for a while, he took the initiative to explain:
"No, no, Brother Zhang. Although I often bring caravans to do business in Beiqiong, it is only to support my family. We live on the border and farm for those Beiqiong people. We are busy all year round. , but nothing was caught.”

"It was only later that I became the guide under the leadership of an old senior. I remember in my heart that I am from the Central Plains."

"It's good to know that you are from the Central Plains." Zhang Xifan said nothing more after leaving these words.

The telescope in his hand was given to another cavalryman in the caravan, and he asked the other party to go to the place where he was lying before to monitor the group of Qil tribe members pretending to be horse bandits in front of him.

The group of people rested here, having had enough food and drinks at the Qil tribe, so they didn't worry about starving here. Although the meat didn't taste very good, it at least filled their stomachs.

On the other side, the Beiqiong man who was ordered by the leader of the Qier tribe to pursue Zhang Xifan and his party found nothing after following the mark.

"General, the horse hoof prints in front have completely disappeared. Either they covered them up deliberately, or they were blown away by the wind and sand."

A soldier dressed as a horse bandit in front came to report to the tall and thick Beiqiong man.

"Where on earth did these people go?! Could they still have wings?" They couldn't find anyone, so they had no choice but to go back and report.

When the leader of the Qil tribe received the news, he was furious.

"Did you not check carefully!? It has only been so long, how could they run away!?" He was a little worried. Could it be that the other party already knew what he was thinking and hid it deliberately? Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why they could not find each other.

What frightened him the most was that if Zhang Xifan spread the news that he had obtained the Liuli Sirius, he would probably become a thorn in the side of King Beiqiong.

"Chief, this group of Central Plains merchants is so cunning. We chased them for twenty miles and still couldn't find them. They must have changed their route."

"Then why are you still standing there?! Why don't you hurry up and look for me?!"

On the other side, after discovering that the group of Beiqiong people had returned the same way, Zhang Xifan led the caravan and immediately took a detour to the next destination.

The task given to him by Ning Changrong was to sell the glass as much as possible. If he met some ambitious people, he would take out the glass Sirius and sell it.
