The sky in the desert was still dark, and the galloping men and horses approached Mingwei, a town where hundreds of people were currently stationed, and a hundred miles away was where the army of Suo was stationed.

Because of the peace negotiation, the people of the locked country stopped the raging pace, but once the peace negotiation failed, their iron hooves will inevitably step on the fortress, making Mingwei's defense line a hell on earth.

The group did not enter Mingwei, but abandoned their horses and crossed the line on foot from a hidden trail to the north.

On the desert, the terrain is undulating, full of withered trees and boulders that are very easy to hide, and the whining of wild wolves, the wind and sand and fine snow swirl around people, and the chill through the cloak makes people's hearts cold.

Pu Yangxuan tugged on his head, and his toes lightly touched the rough sand and stones, and landed behind a withered sea buckthorn.

"Over that hill, it's where Dammam is stationed. There, a large cowhide tent will be erected as a place for peace. ”

Pu Yangxuan looked in the direction of the man's finger, there were already some objects in the open space, but there was no figure around, although the day after tomorrow was the day of peace, but there was no movement in this cowhide tent and the surroundings, which was strange.

He only glanced at it, and then looked at the mountain.

Before they arrived, Wei Guogong had sent some spies, but few of them came back, and most of them disappeared without a trace.

He also sent a group of people, and finally found useful information back-

Internally, the Somali country is not satisfied with Dammam presiding over the peace talks.

Some nobles believed that Da Zhou should not be given any chance to survive, and should continue to send troops south to attack Liangzhou.

That's their chance.

"Let's go." Puyang Xuan said, before dawn, they must blend in with the people of Suo Guo.

The three men behind him bowed their heads in unison.

Just as they were about to continue walking, a "oops" sound suddenly sounded in the rustling wind, causing the four of them to stop and remain motionless.

"Shhh Then, the girl choked with mourning, in the cold early morning night wind, which made people feel pitiful.

Pu Yangxuan's eyes behind the mask were calm and sharp, looking at the source of the sound.

At this time, although it was a girl who appeared and spoke Da Zhou dialect clearly, it did not make them relax their vigilance.

"It hurts...... the girl continued to choke, "what should I do, will I be eaten by wolves......"

Pu Yangxuan narrowed his eyes, there was a petite figure in the clearing, and there was no second person besides that.

"Woo woo, who's going to save me, save my daddy." The girl's voice came intermittently, "God, please, save us, I don't want to die in this desert......"

The girl cried so hard that she could barely breathe, enough to make most of those who heard it sad.

But Pu Yangxuan was destined to belong to the small group of people who would not be sad, and he gestured to the three of his subordinates, intending to continue to move forward regardless of the girl's life or death.

They had the lives of tens of millions on their shoulders, and they didn't know who the girl was, so he couldn't take the risk.

The four of them rounded a large clump of Saxon trees and continued north.

The girl's whimper was quickly thrown behind.

The girl cowered next to a pile of wood blinked and looked north.

"These people are so ruthless......"

A huge black shadow came to her side, its furry head arching the girl's arm affectionately.

She rubbed its head and said with a smile: "Amu, don't worry, it's really a pity to run away a few Da Zhou people last time." So, I'm not going to let them escape this time anyway. ”

The black shadow seemed to understand the girl's words, and stretched out its warm red tongue to lick it. on the cheeks of the girl.

The girl laughed softly, and soon as if someone had discovered her, she hurriedly covered her mouth, and her almond eyes filled with more smiles.

"Alright, let's catch up with them." The girl jumped briskly.

A moment later, before the sky could be seen, Pu Yangxuan was keenly aware that someone was following them behind him, although he didn't find the stalker or any trace of it—it was the intuition of a martial artist.

He immediately gestured to the three of his men, and in an instant the four of them split into groups of two and ran in different directions.

The feeling of being followed disappeared for a moment and reappeared, but they had already crossed the hill and a small camp stationed by the river appeared in front of them.

According to the spies' report, the Somali army brought a part of the civilian population to be responsible for the army's food and chores. Moreover, Dammam ordered these civilians to be stationed in the far south, in front of the army.

If the Great Zhou carried out a surprise attack of "capturing the thief and capturing the king first", it would inevitably pass through the camp of the civilians first, and one accident would cause death and injury, so that Suo Guo would have an excuse to announce to all the countries of the world how ruthless the Great Zhou was and how ruthless it was to massacre civilians.

Pu Yangxuan and one of his subordinates stopped behind a leafy shuttle tree, and could clearly see that before dawn, civilians had already begun to work.

Coldly, he noticed that the person who was following them seemed to have disappeared again.

Pu Yang Xuan pondered for a moment, and the other two came over.

"Did you find anything out of the ordinary?" He asked.

The two shook their heads.

Pu Yangxuan said: "Let's go." ”

They took off their cloaks and masks and hid in the pit under the saxon tree, which had been discovered earlier by the spies.

There is no pit to allow a person to slide down and hide, but it seems that there is a mystery in the pit that can go deep into the ground, but now is not the time to explore, and they are not interested in it.

Beneath the cloaks, their attire had long since changed to sheepskin robes, their hair was loose, and they wore gray and shabby felt hats, which was the daily attire of the lowest civilians of the country.

While the sky was still dark, Pu Yangxuan and one of his subordinates quietly approached the camp, while the other two were responsible for investigating and answering around.

Around the civilian camp, there were no Suo soldiers patrolling, and the Suo people didn't seem to be afraid of the Great Zhou's spies sneaking in, Pu Yangxuan was clearly aware of this, and also understood the huge difficulties and dangers that he would face if he wanted to meet Daman and the others.

He wouldn't flinch and blend in without any difficulty in a crowd of people who had gone out to pick up hay and dead branches. Entered the camp.

Every day, people would starve to death and die of disease - the Solian nobles would not have the slightest sympathy for the commoners, who in their eyes were slaves for them to send at will, so every day there would be new civilians who were forcibly recruited and sent to the camps.

For the civilians, the new faces don't need to care about anything, and they don't even have the heart to sympathize with them and die here, because they have long been numb, and they themselves are not and are likely to die here, who will sympathize with them?

Pu Yangxuan sensed the atmosphere of indifference and despair in the camp, and he glanced at the expressionless faces and blended into the crowd of cooks.

He had just picked up some hay when he heard a cry coming from the camp gate, followed by a dialect he didn't understand.

It's just that there is a voice that makes him feel very familiar, and he secretly raises his eyes to glance at it.

A young girl, supported by several women, limped into the camp.
