Xiao Nan, Bala and Huang Yan's faces suddenly turned extremely ugly when they heard Zhang Mu's words. If it was exactly as Zhang Mu said, then their plan would not be able to proceed at all.

Su Rui, on the other hand, acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He continued to add the best Longjing tea to the tea bowl in front of him calmly, and looked at the three people around him leisurely, who looked as if they had eaten a fly.

"How do we know whether what you said is true or not?"

Xiao Nan was unwilling to believe what Zhang Mu said. Although he did get the Epoch General Goods originally needed for the auction this time, he did not understand the operating mechanism of the Epoch Store. He thought Zhang Mu was just lucky.

"City Lord Xiao Nan, if you don't believe me now, wait until next month or the month after next, won't we know the answer?"

Xiao Nan in front of him was not worthy of Zhang Mu's attention at all. Given the strength revealed by the Caravan Alliance now, they could not do anything to Zhang Mu unless they assassinated him outside Jiyuan City.

But first of all, Zhang Mu's strength is not so easy to deal with. Secondly, his Epoch Merchant Ring has an equipment that these trainee agent merchants do not have, that is, the invisibility cloak.

Even though he saw the anxiety of Xiao Nan and the others, Zhang Mu had no intention of letting down his guard. Everything was going too smoothly. He felt that he had overlooked something, but it was too subtle and he couldn't remember it at all.

With the current trend, the Eight War Riders will definitely stand on his side, even if his strength is just that of a simple second-level evolver. With the support of nearly thirty second-level evolvers of the Eight War Riders behind him, how can the Caravan Alliance defeat him?

However, those Era agents knew this clearly, but none of them showed up, not even the dark pigeon that had been used to recruit Zhang Mu. Nothing happened against Zhang Mu, allowing him to continue to have contact with the Eight War Riders naturally.

After last night, no one from the caravan alliance came to recruit him, even though Zhang Mu took away all the goods.

"We will discuss the specific cooperation matters with you, brother Zhang Mu, after the capital competition. It's too early now."

At this time, Zhang Yi finally stood up, looked at Zhang Mu and the others and spoke.

"Okay, let's talk about it when the time comes. There's no rush anyway. The next Epoch Transaction will be after January."

Zhang Mu's face was calm. He and Zhang Yi looked at each other and realized that they shared the same concerns.

Even Zhang Yi doesn’t know what the Caravan Alliance is doing?

Judging from the expressions of Xiao Nan, Huang Yan, and Bala, the three of them did not seem to be aware of any core secrets, otherwise they would not have been so nervous when they heard Zhang Mu reveal that he could monopolize the resources of the Caravan Alliance. Of course, it is not ruled out that one of the three had excellent acting skills and concealed it from Zhang Mu's eyes.

Zhang Mu looked around at everyone on the third floor and found that only Su Rui and Huyan Tu were calm and composed, without any emotional fluctuations. One had a natural smile, and the other had his usual stiff and serious expression.

He is not a young man who has just started out in the world, and he will not be fooled by superficial signs.

Among these eight war horses, there must be a spy deeply buried by the Caravan Alliance, but who is it?

Was it Xiao Nan and others who had obviously joined the Caravan Alliance, or Su Rui who was very secretive but showed his sharp teeth in front of Zhang Mu, or was it Huyan Tu, the leader of the Mad Wolf Riders who had always been determined to resist the Caravan Alliance.

Except for Zhang Yi, the other five people present were all within Zhang Mu's suspicion range. As for why Zhang Yi was not among them, it was easy to explain, because he was the number one among the eight warriors, the undisputed number one.

Moreover, there is no possibility that Zhang Yi is worried about someone wanting to take over and use the caravan alliance for a purge, because if a purge is necessary, it could be done directly when he recaptured the capital of Hohhot when his reputation reached its peak. Why make it so complicated now? Even if he couldn't bear it at that time, he could just give up his military power with a toast.

However, Zhang Yi didn't do that, so Zhang Mu was sure that he really didn't value power.

The other three cavalry leaders of Hohhot capital are all under suspicion, and the suspicion is very serious, because compared to the very controversial position of the city lord of Ordos capital, the suspense of Zhang Yi taking the position of city lord here is almost zero. Whether in strength or prestige, the other three are much weaker than Zhang Yi.

If your strength cannot satisfy your ambition, you can only resort to crooked means.

Poor Zhang Yi, his brother who had shared life and death with him in the past, now covets his position and wants to occupy the capital.

However, human beings can only share adversity, but not wealth.

So many dynasties were established in history.

Afterwards, they would deal with their own founding heroes. If those heroes who had made great contributions met someone who remembered their old friendship, they would give up their military power with a toast, give you a small fiefdom, and let you go home to retire.

Those who are unlucky will basically end up with no intact body.

Zhang Mu also understood what Zhang Yi was thinking. If there was no way to annex the Caravan Alliance, he would not mind his brothers finding a way out. However, he would be reluctant to do so. Therefore, he had not made his attitude clear until now. Meeting Zhang Mu gave him a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran up to the third floor from the bottom of Zuixian Tower in a hurry. He was Xiao Nan's confidant. Now the defense of Hohhot city was in charge of Xiao Nan's men. He whispered something quickly in Xiao Nan's ear. Xiao Nan's face changed from gloomy to bright, and he gritted his teeth.

"Old Five, what's wrong?"

Seeing Xiao Nan's expression and the urgent report from the city guards, Zhang Yi thought that a battle had broken out outside the city, so he quickly asked, "Is this man from your city guard, Lao Wu? Is it a group of mutant beasts or zombies approaching the capital?"

“Neither.”

Xiao Nan shook his head slowly, stood up and stared in Zhang Mu's direction. Zhang Mu was a little confused by his gaze.

"Ha Chimu, with his Red Flame Wolf Riders and Qi Chidar's Shield Wolf Riders, surrounded the capital!"

Everyone present showed an expression of disbelief and looked at Xiao Nan.

Zhang Mu's heart also jumped. Now it was two days and two nights plus a few hours since Ha Chimu left the capital. However, with Chixue's running speed, it would take less than a day and a night to go back to his own branch city without rest.

In other words, there is only one possibility. When Hachimu returned to the branch city of Ejin Horo Banner, he called Qizidar and did not spread any news. He should have handed the ice coffin to others for burial, and directly rushed back to the capital of Hohhot with two thousand cavalry.

Fifty-three whole hours!

Hachimu actually ran back and forth between the capital of Hohhot and the branch city of Ejin Horo Banner!

The purpose was to rush back to the capital as soon as possible to ensure the safety of Zhang Mu and the others.

A nerve in Zhang Mu's heart that had been hidden for a long time suddenly pricked violently.

"This brotherhood is worth it!"
