Chapter 53 Undercurrent



"This time I'm going to pursue Dayin's cavalry. I'm going to use this opportunity to take down that beacon tower and dismember Zhao Muyun to relieve the hatred in my heart."

"At this moment, this guy actually followed the Bai family's caravan, left Shuozhou Prefecture, and ran to the prairie."

Instead of getting angry, Timur laughed, his eyes coldly staring at the messenger, "Did Second Master Bai ask you to come and make fun of me?"

"It's unfair, Lord Qianchang!"

The messenger couldn't fail to see the murderous intent in Timur's eyes. He hurriedly said, "Our master sent me here in the hope that you would take action to kill this man."

"Our boss has promised to double your compensation for your losses. Furthermore, the goods that Zhao Muyun stole also belong to you!"

Timur stared at the person who brought the news, motionless.

The man was also frightened by his gaze and dared not even breathe, for fear that his breathing would be too loud and provoke Timur's wrath.

"Is Bai Shouren trying to tease me? We've already left Dayin. If he wants to kill Zhao Muyun, he can do it himself. Why does he need me to do it?"

After a while, Timur said slowly.

"Our boss said that it would be too easy for Zhao Muyun to die like this. He should have died at the hands of the captain!" The man who reported the news took a deep breath and closed his eyes after he finished speaking.

"Hahaha! Second Master Bai, you're truly my good friend!"

These words touched Timur's heart, and he burst into laughter. "Go and tell Master Bai Er that I'll take care of this matter!"

"We are very familiar with this grassland south of Daqing Mountain. I will have someone monitor their movements and wait for an opportunity to strike."

"As for the Second Master Bai, I'll have someone keep an eye on him!"

When the messenger heard that Timur would make the arrangements, he felt as if he had been pardoned. He opened his eyes, his back covered in sweat, and hurriedly thanked and said goodbye.

After the man left, Timur called a centurion.

"Hungudu, do you want to avenge your elder brother and kill the person who shot him?"

"Master Qian, of course I have thought about it. I even dream of killing that man with my own hands."

A thin-faced man with triangular eyes and a goatee immediately became agitated and said viciously, "This time heading south, please allow me to lead my troops as the vanguard! Leave that beacon tower to me, and I promise to tear everyone inside into pieces!"

"You and your people don't need to go south. Set off now and go to Xichuan and Xunye to wait for the Bai family's caravan to arrive!"

Timur now knows that Zhao Muyun is traveling with the Bai family caravan to the grasslands on the western border of Daqing Mountain, although he does not know what the purpose of Zhao Muyun's trip is.

But he was sure that to go to the grasslands in the west of Daqing Mountain, he would have to pass through Xichuan and Xunye.

A caravan is a horse-drawn carriage, which stops and starts frequently, so it is definitely not as fast as riding a horse alone.

Hun Gu could get ahead of Zhao Muyun and his group in advance to intercept them.

"Go to Xichuan, Xunye? The Bai family caravan? Captain, I don't understand what you mean. Aren't you asking me to kill Zhao Muyun for revenge?"

Hun Gu was completely confused.

"Zhao Muyun is in the Bai family caravan!"

"So that's how it is! If I find out, I will definitely bring Zhao Muyun's head to you, Master Qianchang!"

Hun Gudu immediately said goodbye and turned around to leave.

"Wait, before killing Zhao Muyun, let's first find out his purpose of going to the western border of Daqing Mountain. It shouldn't be that simple!" Timur suddenly stopped Hun Gudu who was leaving in a hurry.

"Don't worry, sir. I will make him confess honestly."

"Okay, you must do a good job of surrounding and killing Zhao Muyun. There must be no mistakes."

......

The cold moon is in the sky and the fields are desolate.

The abandoned castle looked eerie and terrifying in the cold night.

The faint flickering light of the fire indicated that someone was moving around inside.

Bai Shouren and his dozen or so escorts and coachmen gathered around a fire, eating dry food in silence.

As early as in Piantou Pass, Bai Shouren replaced the horse-drawn carriage with mules and horses to carry goods, which made it more convenient to travel on the grassland.

The cargo was unloaded and carefully stacked.

More than ten mules and horses were also tied together. Some were lying quietly, some were chewing dry grass, and some were snorting occasionally.

The firelight danced on Bai Shouren's dark red face.

He glanced at Zhao Muyun and others on the other side, then turned back to look at the fire with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Before leaving, he discussed with his elder brother Bai Shoujing for a long time.

This time, their family wants to achieve three goals at once.

First, contact the Wuhuan people, complete the task well, bring honor to Sun Jizong, the brave and resolute commander of Shuozhou Prefecture, and gain political status for the Bai family.

Secondly, kill Zhao Muyun to avenge the deaths of Lao Huang and the other ten people, to regain face for the two slaps in the face given to his son, and preferably also to find the lost batch of salt and iron.

Third, the war between Beidi and Dayin banned trade, causing prices to soar. However, the Bai family was able to openly take goods out of the customs to do business, and of course they could make a lot of money!

Bai Shouren only needs to use the Tartars to kill Zhao Muyun and all his men, and not let them return to Dayin alive.

When they returned to Shuozhou, they said that Zhao Muyun was killed in a surprise attack by the Tartars while protecting the caravan.

By then, Zhao Muyun will be able to gain the reputation of sacrificing his life for the country, and he may even be posthumously awarded an official title.

In addition, Beidi and Dayin are about to fight in Shuozhou, and it is unclear who will win or lose. The Bai family must be prepared to bet on both sides.

Now, Bai Shouren saw Zhao Muyun and his nine men gathered together, Zhao Muyun's power

Old Huang and his ten companions were the best bodyguards of the Bai family, but they were killed by Zhao Muyun and his men.
