The problem that arises is that the imperial soldiers will not only fail to capture these desert mercenaries, but will also find themselves trapped deep in the desert, with no way out.
Therefore, facing these four families, the imperial court had no choice but to recruit them. As long as they abided by the rules, only operated in the desert, and paid tribute to the imperial court every year, the imperial court would turn a blind eye to them and allow them to develop.
"Sir, are you going into the desert?"
When they reached the edge of the desert, the road was completely covered by yellow sand and the carriage could no longer move forward. Qian Yeming had no choice but to hold Murong Xiao's hand and get off the carriage.
Before Murong Xiao stepped out of the carriage, someone came running to ask him questions.
"Sir, are you going to the oasis?"
Seeing that Qian Yeming ignored him, the man continued to ask persistently.
"Sir, my name is Qing Fan, and I'm also going to the oasis to search for treasure. There's an unwritten rule in this desert that during this period, merchants and travelers entering the desert must gather at least 200 people to form a group, otherwise the mercenary group will not accept them.
The desert is vast. Without the support of the mercenary group, you and your friends alone would definitely not be able to reach your destination. Now our caravan has 196 people, and we only need 4 more people to enter the desert.
You look like you're from out of town, don't you? Actually, I'm from out of town too. I was planning to go in directly with my brothers, but we didn't realize the desert requires us to form a team of 200 people before we can enter. Otherwise, if we don't have enough people, the mercenary group inside won't accept us."
As soon as this man finished speaking, another guy with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks came over.
"Hey, young master, are you heading into the desert? Come join our group! We are the largest and most powerful team in this desert. Our leader is a well-known figure in this desert. Just follow our leader and you will be guaranteed not to be bullied."
"Sir, come join our group..."
…
Murong Xiao had just slowly gotten off the ground when countless people from caravan groups gathered around the carriage.
"Sir, please bring your wife to our team. Although we don't have many people, we are all serious people who are going to enter the desert. Your wife will be safer if she stays with us.
We are different from those who have been living on the edge of the desert for years to earn head fees. Our team is a newly formed team. Including myself, we all came from Dongxiang Country. Letting you join us is just for business travel, so we will not charge any joining fees. "
"Okay, we'll join your group!"
Under the lobbying of the leader named Qing Fan, Qian Yeming decided to bring Murong Xiao into his team.
As soon as the words fell, dissatisfied voices were heard from other caravans.
But under Qing Fan's glare, these people dared not speak out.
Because in the past two days on the edge of the desert, they had fought several times for team members. Although Qing Fan was an outsider, he and his brothers were very good at martial arts. They were no match for this group of people, so they could only watch Qing Fan's team grow bigger and bigger, and finally reached 200 people, and then they left.
Looking at the man protecting his woman, followed by two servants and a big white dog, although there were not many of them, they had been in this desert for so long, and he could tell from their temperament that they were definitely not simple people.
