Ye Qingfeng was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He said uncertainly:

"Manager Wei, my men got some information from the bandits. One of the more useful pieces of information is about the herdsman who sold the information about our caravan to the bandits. Everyone thinks that man looks like Huba's stepfather. He has caused trouble here before, and many of the brothers know him."

This is just imitating Xie Jiu's torture to extract a confession. Unexpectedly, there are such unexpected gains.

Wei Dong frowned and said seriously: "Are you sure?"

Ye Qingfeng scratched his head: "I'm not sure, but I feel that the man described by the bandit looks a lot like the scoundrel Huba's stepfather whom I met."

Xie Jiu looked at Wei Dong. If it was really this person, then it would be hard to say whether he leaked the information about the ambush unintentionally or did it on purpose to take revenge on them and Huba.

This kind of person just can't stand seeing others doing well. Logically, Huba didn't do anything to him. Instead, this scoundrel bullied Huba and his mother for many years. Now that he sees the mother and mother living a good life, he is jealous and hateful.

This kind of person is sick!

Wei Dong frowned and said nothing. Xie Jiu said, "What's the big deal? Send a few people back." He was not used to leaving hidden dangers. What if this person had another trick up his sleeve?

How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? That person is tired too, why not just get rid of the thief?

Wei Dong thought about it for a while. He didn't want to let the caravan interfere as it would leave room for them to use their weapons in the future. But he also didn't like this hidden danger.

He said: "Have the steward write a letter to the chief of the Red Sun Tribe, saying that our caravan was attacked and that the payment date may be delayed. Then tell him that our ambush may be caused by Huba's stepfather. I think the Red Sun Tribe will handle it."

The Red Sun Tribe was in desperate need of their payment, not in the form of gold or silver, but in the form of supplies for the winter.

That’s right, the payment for the ore is for winter supplies. The Red Sun Tribe is mostly populated by the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the winter is very difficult for them. Every winter there are people who cannot survive.

This time we’re relying on Weidong’s supplies to survive the winter!

If they found out that someone was responsible for the caravan's inability to return in time, they would definitely find that person and vent their anger. The caravan would not need to send anyone back at all. Not only would it waste time, but it would also be bad if something unexpected happened on the grassland.

Ye Qingfeng's eyes lit up. This was a really good idea.

Wei Dong paused and continued, "Write another letter to Huba, telling him what happened this time, and asking him to beware of his stepfather, in case he turns around and harms them. They finally have a good life."

There is also a horse farm in Huba, which is a transit station that Weidong attaches great importance to, and no mistakes can be made.

Ye Qingfeng nodded in agreement and went out to find the manager to write a letter. He also had to arrange for someone to deliver the letter. Fortunately, he had only been gone for a few days and was able to catch up with the team quickly.

Weidong’s method is more prudent. This is not his territory, so it is better not to take the initiative.

The old chief's roar was heard from the Red Sun Tribe tent. He paced back and forth angrily, then called a few of his men and showed them Weidong's letter.

A sturdy grassland man said angrily: "Dad, I know this lazy guy. I will take people to deal with him. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of trouble he will cause us in the future!"

Another person also said: "I will go with you. This bastard dared to ruin our good deeds. We can't let him go easily."

The old patriarch took a few puffs of the tobacco in his pipe and made up his mind.

He said, "Go ahead, bring a few more people with you, keep a low profile, and do it in a deserted place. It's always better to be careful when you're out."

After getting the approval from the clan leader, the two men went back to pack up and rode away with their men.

It is not easy to find someone on the grassland, let alone someone who knows he has caused trouble and deliberately hides himself, making it even more difficult for others to find him.

Huba was speechless for a long time after receiving the letter. His hatred for this lingering guy burst out at this moment. The scenes of abuse in his childhood lingered in his mind, and he couldn't forget it no matter how hard he tried.

It turned out that he had never forgotten it, but just suppressed it deep in his heart to prevent it from coming out, but now he can't suppress it anymore.

He returned to the tent angrily and rummaged through the boxes. Huba's mother didn't know what was wrong with him, but she could see that Huba was in a bad mood. She asked Huba carefully:

"Child, what are you looking for? You need to tell mom what happened."

Huba turned back with red eyes and said to his mother angrily: "I will kill him!"

"Who are you going to kill? Did anyone bully you?" She looked at her son nervously.

Huba slowly calmed down, pulled Amma to sit down, and said to her:

"It was Chao Lu. He sold the caravan's route to bandits and almost destroyed the caravan. He just can't bear to see us prosper. I can't let him ruin our lives. I'm going to kill him for this scourge."

When Huba's mother heard the name Chaolu, she was so frightened that she took Huba's hand and said:

"Child, that scoundrel is taller than you, you can't beat him. You are the only child of mine, you can't take the risk." Tears rolled down her cheeks. She was scared. She had just had a few days of good life and she didn't want to lose her son.

Huba also calmed down and said to A-ma: "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for us, I will definitely not cause any trouble." A-ma is timid, so it's better not to scare her.

But my mother was right. If I confronted that scoundrel head on, my small body might not be able to defeat him. I would have to think of some way.

Chao Lu has been hiding ever since that incident, living in fear that he will be implicated.

However, as time went by, there seemed to be no disturbance, and no abnormal situation occurred around. This made Chao Lu gradually put aside his worries and fears, and began to think that perhaps everything was over.

However, Chaolu's curiosity grew stronger and stronger.

He really couldn't understand how those seemingly ferocious horse bandits could be wiped out in a battle with a Han merchant caravan?

What surprised him even more was that the caravan was able to wipe out the bandits so easily. How did they do it?

Finally one day, Chao Lu could no longer suppress his inner impulse and decided to secretly return to the bandit’s camp to find out what was going on.

When he approached the village cautiously, he was stunned by the scene before him - the entire village was empty, there was not a single person in sight, and the ground was covered with bloodstains, as if a fierce battle had just taken place here.

Just looking at the marks left by the arrows and the knife and sword wounds on the tent poles made the skin around Lu's eyes twitch.
