Latest website: Is it possible that Sharin used such soldiers to guard the border? It's really poor enough, it's not the same as the rumors at all, and sure enough... some rumors can't be completely believed... Xia Zuo saw it, and felt amused in his heart. He turned his mouth, looked down at the old soldier, and asked Said: "What are you doing here?"

"We are performing our duties. First, prevent unknown troops from invading, second, prevent criminals from entering the sarin, third, prevent illegal businessmen from smuggling goods, and fourth..." The old soldier clenched his spear tightly and said with a tense expression , the tone was blunt, and at first glance it seemed to be memorized by rote, Xia Zuo doubted whether the other party knew the meaning of what he said, "... Seven, check whether the entry documents are legal and complete, eight..."

"Okay, stop!" Shaar interrupted the old man's recitation, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, according to what you said, if people like me want to enter the sarin, we have to hand in a pass? Otherwise, you can only turn your head and go back?"

"Actually... you have already entered sarin, so no matter whether you want to go back or not, you must submit legal and complete entry documents, otherwise you will enter illegally." The old soldier hesitated for a moment and answered boldly.

"Ha!" Xia Zuo couldn't help but opened his mouth and laughed. Looking at the two soldiers, one old and one young, and then at the five hundred cavalrymen around him, he felt as if he was listening to the funniest joke. His two mustaches trembled.

"Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong? Just the two of you, you want to check me? What if I refuse?" Xia Ya asked the two soldiers with a restrained smile after laughing for a long time.

The old soldier's expression changed, and he took a step back and said, "My lord, please don't make things difficult for us, we are also doing business as usual, please cooperate..."

"Hahaha, hahaha." Hearing what the old soldier said, Xia Zuo couldn't help laughing again, thinking it was really funny. After laughing for a few seconds, he turned his head to look at the soldiers beside him, with a serious expression, and said, "What are you still doing, take these two down."

"Yes!" The soldier obeyed, and immediately rushed towards the two Sarin soldiers.

Two Sarin soldiers tried to resist, but the old and the young were really powerless, and they were overturned to the ground in a few seconds, and the spears used as weapons were kicked more than ten meters away.

Zhuang master soldier pressed the two Shalin soldiers to the ground, looked at Xia Zuo and asked for instructions: "My lord, are you going to kill them?"

"That's not necessary." Xia Zuo waved his hand, "We're here to visit Shalin, not to invade. We've killed people a little too much. Tie up these two bad-ass criminals and throw them here. Just let them fend for themselves, and then we continue on our way.”

"correct,

Before throwing it here, remember to knock it out. Xia Zuo added earnestly, "I don't want them to find a way to untie the rope as soon as we leave, and then use some method to tip off the city of Atlanta. Then it will be difficult for us to keep this operation secret." "

"Yes, my lord." Master Zhuang nodded, and dragged two Shalin soldiers towards the stone building.

The young soldier struggled violently and kept yelling, as if cursing: "If you dare to do this, you will definitely end badly. This is an illegal invasion, and you also attacked the sentry. The regular army of Sarin knew about it. Absolutely You will regret it. Sarin’s regular troops will definitely tear you apart and let you understand that Sarin is not easy to mess with..."

But the yelling, accompanied by a muffled grunt, stopped abruptly.

Afterwards, the strong master soldier who entered the stone building came out and reported to Xia Zuo: "My lord, everything is done."

"Well, let's go." Xia Zuo didn't say much, and waved his hand, signaling the team to start again, heading deep into the sand forest.

...

Soon, the team marched for several miles, and sure enough, just as Xia Zuohuang's men said, the terrain began to undulate, and the existence of the outpost could not be seen at all.

"Tat-tat-tat..."

Riding on horseback, Xia Zuo glanced back at the direction of the previous outpost, and asked the yellow-clothed subordinates, "We have entered the sand forest completely now, right?"

"Yes, my lord."

"However, we didn't encounter anyone's obstruction. It seems that there is a big gap between Shalin and what he said, and the army's vigilance is not very high." Xia Zuo said sarcastically, thought for a while, and added, "By the way, from now on, we will send two scouting teams of ten to our front, left and right sides. The scouting distance is three miles, and we will send people to report the scouting content in turn to make sure the surroundings are safe."

Huangyi's subordinates were puzzled when they heard this: "My lord, didn't you say... Shalin is not very vigilant, and no one stopped us, so why do we still do this?"

"Sarin's vigilance is indeed not high, but my vigilance cannot be as low as theirs. What needs to be guarded is still to be on guard." Xia Zuo said, "This time I will try my best to reach the city of Atlanta as far as possible. Only in this way can I be effective." Sudden attack' effect."

"Well……"

"Okay, let's do it."

"Yes." Huang Yi's subordinates nodded and began to select members of the investigation team.

After a while, six teams of ten people were sent out in three directions, and the army continued to march while on guard.

...

Go, go, go, go.

After a short break in the middle, the soldiers ate some dry rations and fed some rations to the horses. Then Xia Zuo commanded the team to continue approaching the center of Sarin—the city of Atlanta.

Along the way, Xia Zuo deliberately avoided all large and small population gathering points according to the map, trying to maintain the secrecy of his progress.

But in the afternoon, he became a little anxious.

Not because of any problems encountered, but because it went so well.

Yes, it went really well.

In his covert actions, except for the outpost he encountered at the beginning, he never encountered any other living people. Although he avoided the gathering places of population, he didn't even meet a farmer in the farmland, a fisherman in the pond, a hunter in the forest, or a pedestrian on the road, which is too strange.

He couldn't help wondering whether there would be no one in Sarin, and he had an urge to check the population gathering spots on the map.

However, his rationality stopped him from this impulse. He lightly pressed the beard on his lips, reached out and took out a flat egg-shaped creation from his pocket, opened it and glanced at the beating needle on it to confirm the time.

Speaking of which, the thing called "Golden Needle Pocket Watch" in his hand was mass-produced and handed down from Shalin, and it has gone through the hands of many merchants in the middle. After it was placed in Shaar's shop, it was already a lot of money. price.

Since this thing does not seem to be liked by the newly succeeded emperor, it was once banned by decree. But it couldn’t stand the fact that it was exquisite and easy to use, and it kept spreading on the black market. In the end, there was no way, and the ban was lifted, and heavy taxes were imposed instead, and tax evaders were severely punished.

The "Golden Needle Pocket Watch" in his hand was originally a complete batch of 30, which was confiscated by the Shaar government from tax-evading smugglers. After being confiscated, the pocket watch did not enter the national treasury, but returned to the market for sale through some means. During this process, he obtained a piece at a low price through internal channels, and has been using it until now, and he is quite proficient. So with just a glance, he knew that it had been several hours since he entered the border of Sarin.

And the more this happened, the more uneasy he felt.

Since Sha Lin could mass-produce exquisite things like "golden needle pocket watches", no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be as bad as he guessed.

absolutely should not...

But if Sharin wasn't so miserable, why hasn't he been aware of him until now, and why hasn't he encountered any large-scale military strongholds or patrol soldiers when he went to such a deep place?

This is the entire border... No, is the entire border undefended?

Thinking of this, Xia Zuo couldn't help pressing his beard again, and after thinking for a while, he ordered again to the men in yellow clothes: "Send an additional ten-person investigation team to the front, left and right directions, and the investigation distance will be expanded. To five li. In addition, send three ten-man reconnaissance teams to the rear, and ask them to report every ten minutes regardless of whether they have found anything."

"My lord, you..."

"implement!"

"Yes." Huang Yi's subordinates looked at Xia Zuo's ugly face, didn't say much, and lowered their heads decisively.

...

Not long after, six new ten-member reconnaissance teams were sent out, and all reconnaissance forces had already accounted for more than one-fifth of the main force, covering four complete directions: front, back, left, and right.

It stands to reason that Xia Zuo can rest assured.

But Xia Zuo didn't, and became even more anxious.

Anxiously, after half an hour of marching, the team began the second trimming.

People are not hungry, but the horses need to eat special horse food again, otherwise they will not be able to support the next long and long-distance journey.

The whole team stopped to rest in an open space, and the surrounding area was quiet, only the chirping of insects and birds.

Hearing the voice full of field flavor, Xia Zuo was in a daze for a while, and couldn't help wondering if he was being overly cautious.

At this moment, he heard a cry from the soldier on guard: "What is that?!"

"Huh?" Xia Zuo looked quickly, then narrowed his eyes, and saw several black spots approaching rapidly in the distant sky.

what is it
