In that side chamber, Luo Lingwei and the others were looking everywhere for Little Green's information, looking for the whereabouts of this silly girl. On this side, Xiaoqing had finally reunited with her sworn brother after a long journey. This time, Xiaoqing wasn't as ignorant as before, and she was even kidnapped and sold to become a slave. This time, Xiaoqing had meticulously disguised herself before she left. She disguised herself as a man and arrived at her destination without any danger on the way.
The rendezvous point between Lu Tu and Xiao Qing was Xiao Yang County, which was within Ye Feian's fiefdom. Ye Feian had jurisdiction over his fiefdom, and although he couldn't appoint officials directly, all the local officials were under his jurisdiction, especially the military generals. They were all made up of the guards of Ye Feian's mansion, and there were a total of twenty thousand soldiers and horses in the sixteen prefectures of Shan Yang.
Xiao Yang County was just a small county among the sixteen states of the Mountain Sun Country. Many people didn't even know that such a place existed because of its dilapidated state. This was one of the reasons why Lu Tu chose to meet up with Xiao Qing here. Without a big goal, it was easy to do. The other reason was that the culprit who killed their godfather, the Mountain Bandits, had escaped to this place due to the pursuit of the imperial government.
”Brother Xue, do you think we can find them?” Xiaoqing asked as she looked at the man who was cleaning and taking care of her throwing knives.
Although his name sounded like that of a bandit, his heart was very gentle. Because of his meticulous work, whenever Sherman Khan went out to battle, he liked to leave Xue Kaishan in the tribe to handle the affairs of the clan. But Shay also won a place among the militant Kurman tribe with his precise throwing knives.
It was still early in the morning, and Xue Kaishan saw that Xiaoqing had some doubts, so he took out the sheepskin scroll that he had brought with him and laid it flat on the table in front of them. Xiaoqing looked at it closely, and saw that the map of the sixteen prefectures of the Mountain Sun was drawn on the sheepskin scroll, which was extremely precise, as if it was not an ordinary map.
Xiaoqing looked at the dilapidated guest room and found no one else around. She nodded at Xue Kaishan. Although the two of them were staying in the best inn in Xiao Yang County, this inn was still very shabby. In order to avoid sleeping on the streets, the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay here.
Xue Kaishan continued, ”Look, we're currently in Xiaoyang County.” As he spoke, Xue Kaishan pointed to a small black dot at the southeast corner of the sheepskin.
”This is the most secluded corner of the sixteen states of the Mountain Sun, but this place can directly enter the Dreamy Cloud Mountain Range. If this place is used as a foothold, then we can plunder and rob the villages and towns. Furthermore, I have received news that Ye Feian intends to expand his army. He intends to use these bandits that he has recruited as a means to fight against Zhao Wei. ” Xue Kaishan whispered.
Xiaoqing nodded, knowing that the news would not be false. After all, ever since they parted, her sworn brother had become an important subject of the Kulman tribe. Thus, it was very plausible for her to analyze the situation with him today.
”In addition, the informants I've placed here all these years have sent me information and found traces of these fellows.” Xue Kaishan said as he took out a small wooden chaste from his bag. Although it was made of wood, it was very exquisite.
When Xiaoqing saw this Chai Zi, she became dejected. That Chai Zi was given to her older sister, who was six or seven years older than her. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old when the incident occurred. ”
