Anyone can say cruel words, but the reality makes Gongsun Bu a little embarrassed, "Dao Ye, the Qi country is so big, judging from the current search situation, it should be the result of turning it over and over again, if you want to increase your efforts, you need manpower, the disciples in my sect are not enough manpower here at all, can you ask the people from Tianyumen and the three factions to send people to support?"

Niu Youdao, who was staring at the map, waved his hand, "Those families have a lot of eyes, and other aspects may be used, I don't worry about doing this, I have other plans for this matter, I can't alarm them for the time being, try to keep it secret." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gongsun Bu and Black Peony glanced at each other, don't you want to make trouble in Beizhou?

Black Peony: "Master Dao, Brother Gongsun is right, our current manpower wants to dig out clues in such a big place as Qi Country, it is indeed not enough, and the other party must also keep this matter secret, so that outsiders will not easily find out." ”

"Dig up clues?" Niu Youdao looked back at Black Peony, "We have the biggest clue, we know what they are secretly going to do, and we know that they are going to act by sea, this is the biggest clue! We have already grasped the opportunity, the enemy is clear and I am secret, there is no reason not to find them, so many ships can still fly away? As long as their plan remains unchanged, I don't believe we can't find them." ”

Gongsun Bu hesitated: "Could it be that they have already succeeded and the ship has already set off?"

Niu Youdao: "Impossible! We only learned about the Korean waterways in the Boundless Pavilion, and we are investigating and confirming the waterways over there, and before confirming the safety of the waterways, it is impossible for them to take so many war horses out as a child's play, and there is no place to spend the money? As soon as we grasped the situation, we immediately arranged for people to investigate the coastline of Qi State, and after listening to what you just said, I have more reason to believe that those war horses have not left the territory of Qi State. ”

He tapped the map with his hand, "Now let's sort out the clues according to the existing situation, don't say a bunch of useless messing up our vision, and make the clues clear, and our target direction will naturally be clear." According to you, there is no possibility of building your own ship, you can only modify the ship. Let's start with the ships, and I ask you, where do you think their ship modifications are most likely to be?"

As the leader of the team, it is necessary for him to clear his mind for the people below him in complex situations, and as a leader, he must also have such ability.

Gongsun Bu groaned: "Sister Peony also said just now, it is impossible for so many ships to come from one place, it is too eye-catching, and it may be secretly transferred from various countries." ”

Niu Youdao asked: "Could it be that it will be renovated in the places where various countries go to sea?"

Black Peony: "It's unlikely. ”

Niu Youdao asked rhetorically: "How do you say it?"

Black Peony: "Master Dao, you may not know, as I said before, ordinary people will not use such a big ship, most of the people who have such a big ship under their name, most of them are either rich or expensive, and they will definitely not be ordinary people, especially ship owners who can trade across borders, there is a certain amount of power behind them." Without the owner's consent, you can't transform someone's ship without permission, and the cargo ship is transformed into a ship that can transport war horses, and the fences used to separate the rooms are too obvious. ”

Gongsun Bu also nodded, "That's right, there are so many ships, and they can't come from the same place, so that the owners of ships everywhere are aware of this anomaly, and there is some background behind the owners of each ship, and if they are scattered, it is too easy to leak the news." In this case, there is only one possibility, to hire these ships in advance, without letting the owners know the real purpose beforehand. ”

Niu Youdao squinted at their words.

Black Peony's train of thought also followed, "Then there is only one possibility, they must transfer the ship out and send it to a secret place for transformation." Once the destination is controlled, it is not up to the crew to decide whether the ship is willing to be modified or not. ”

Niu Youdao said slowly: "In this way, those ships don't know what they are going to do in advance. ”

Black Peony: "It should be like this, and it is easy to do, the ship does transportation business, as long as the guest pays in advance, people naturally have to go out to the destination according to the buyer's wishes." It's also unlikely that they will know the situation first, otherwise it is easy to leak the news. ”

Niu Youdao's gaze stared at the map again, "Where is the most likely location of that transformation?"

The two of them also followed the map, and Gongsun preached: "It is too eye-catching to transform so many big ships, and it is unlikely that the ships will be placed on the shore of land." In this way, we may have gone in the wrong direction, and it is very likely that the other party has placed the renovation site on an island that is not easy to be discovered. ”

"Island?" Niu Youdao asked rhetorically, "Wouldn't it be placed on some inaccessible coast?"

Gongsun preached: "In the entire coastline of the Qi Kingdom, the disciples of the sect have walked all over the sections, and no abnormalities have been found. ”

Niu Youdao: "Could it be placed on the coastline of other countries?"

"Unlikely. Black Peony shook his head in denial.

Niu Youdao asked again: "How do you say it?"

Black Peony: "First of all, it is unlikely that so many ships will form a large fleet to sail in a centralized manner, which is too eye-catching, and it is difficult not to be perceived as suspicious. Secondly, there are too many emergencies at sea, and if the fleet is dispersed, it is difficult to ensure that every ship can arrive at its destination on time for loading. If the distance is too far, this unpunctuality at sea can sometimes delay more than a little time. If God is moody about the unexpected situation at sea, it is not something that the monk can control and control. ”

"Once the other party has concentrated the horses, they must ensure that they can be loaded in time, otherwise a large number of horses will be stranded on the coast for too long, and it will be easy to make mistakes and be easily discovered. With such a careful matter, joint shipment is one of the most important keys, how can you not take into account the risk of time?"

"So it's not possible to be in a distant country, and they have to make sure that once it's ready, it's ready to be loaded and shipped away. If you want to control time at sea, there must be requirements in terms of distance, and it should not be placed in other countries, it must still be on the side of Qi country. So I agree with Brother Gongsun's judgment, it must be on some island in the sea area of Qi Country. ”

After Niu Youdao helped them clarify their thoughts and clarify the direction, the clueless things obviously became much simpler, and the targeted inferences of the two became reasonable, and they seemed to be close to the goal everyone was looking for.

There is no way, Niu Youdao is not very clear about the situation in this regard, and he can't make his own accurate judgment, so he can only guide and mobilize the ability of the people around him, and work together to solve the problem.

"Okay, the target has been narrowed down, I believe your judgment, it's on the island in the sea area of Qi country!" Niu Youdao nodded in approval, but his finger knocked heavily on the sea area of Qi country, "We don't have enough manpower, even if we have enough manpower, the sea area of Qi country is so big, no matter how many people smash into it, it will be enough to choke, on this basis, I will narrow down the scope of investigation!"

Black Peony still said the same sentence: "For the reason of the control of the joint shipment time, the location of the island will not be too far from the coastline of Qi State." ”

Gongsun Bu muttered, "If it is on an island, that island must be a place that is not easy to be discovered. ”

Black Peony hesitated: "It's not too far, and it's not easy to be discovered, so it must be a route that ships don't come and go at sea." ”

Niu Youdao asked: "What will be the situation if these factors are met?"

Black Peony was a little uncertain: "It's not too far, and it's not easy to be discovered, it must be that the sea area is complicated and dangerous, so that ships must detour." If there are other cases, I'm not sure. ”

Niu Youdao looked at Gongsun Bu, who was frowning and thinking, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Gongsun Bu hesitated: "On the sea, the peony girl is more familiar than me, I think it should be the situation she said." ”

Niu Youdao asked: "Can you narrow down the scope of the investigation a little more?"

Because he knew very well that he didn't know much about Shao Pingbo's side, and who was handling the war horse for Shao Pingbo was not mastered by this side at all.

He wondered if it was related to Xiaoyue Pavilion, but even if it was Xiaoyue Pavilion, he didn't know much about the situation in Xiaoyue Pavilion.

Qi Guo's side is not familiar with the place, and he can't start in other aspects for a while, and the only situation he has at present is shipping, and if he doesn't grasp the movement of personnel, he can only keep an eye on the direction of the ship as a breakthrough.

Black Peony and Gongsun Bu, you look at me, I look at you, and after pondering for a while, they both slowly shook their heads.

"Okay, just check for me according to this idea!" Niu Youdao slapped his palm on the sea area of Qi and issued a plan.

"First of all, ask your disciples to inquire about those who often go to sea to see which sea areas are in line with the situation just mentioned, and at the same time ask if there are any other factors that cause people to find out about the sea areas. ”

"First find out these possible sea areas, and then send people to these sea areas to turn or squat, whether to keep an eye on the route or how to get it, how convenient to get it, as long as you find that eligible ships go to these places that should not go, immediately follow up to check, be careful not to startle the snake!"

"In terms of manpower, the manpower of other parties is temporarily inconvenient to use, you immediately order the mobilization of Wuliangshan spies from several countries here, secretly rush there, and carry out this task first, I want to see the results as soon as possible, so that I can draw up the next plan! Remember, the operation must be kept secret, and the manpower below must be strictly required in this regard!"

"Okay!" Gongsun Bu nodded, "I'll do it." ”

Black Peony sent him away, and when they opened the door and parted, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the things that were clueless before seemed to feel clear in their hands now.

As for whether it will work out, no one dares to guarantee, the two nodded to each other and closed the door.

Black Peony returned inside, and saw that Niu Youdao was still staring at the map, so he couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Master Dao, didn't you say when you were in the Boundless Pavilion that the war horse was on the side of the Qi State, and it was not Korea's turn to stop it?

Niu Youdao seemed to be talking to himself, "Let's touch the situation first." ”
