Wei Dong said in a deep voice: "The king and those nobles are enjoying the benefits of the war, while the victims are ordinary people who have nothing to do with them! They are naturally happy to provoke war.

Only by trying to contain these people in the clouds can we truly stop them from launching wars. Otherwise, the war will never end.

Ye Qingfeng spat: "Bah! These bastards!"

Wei Dong: "It is not easy for us to approach the king, but the Tanding tribe has already surrendered to the king, so it should not be too difficult to approach them. Uncle Wumu should know them best."

After all, the one who knows you best is often your enemy!

"It shouldn't be difficult to open a gap through him."

Just take some risks!

Uncle Wu Mu's hurried footsteps were heard. He opened the door curtain and came in, saying excitedly:

"Found it, found it, look!" He held a soft sheepskin map in his hand.

Uncle Ebony pointed his fat finger at the map:

"Weidong, look here, this is now Tandin and his group's territory."

Wei Dong and Ye Qingfeng leaned over together. Although the map was rough, it was very detailed!

Obviously it is not something that can be drawn in one generation.

Weidong: As expected, how could the big tribes in the past not have topographic maps?

They usually treasure this thing very much and are not willing to show it to others easily.

Weidong looked at the route carefully, combined it with the places he was already familiar with in his mind, and started a detailed discussion with Uncle Wumu.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, and sufficient preparations must be made before the war.

Before we knew it, it was already night. We had roasted whole lamb, lamb skewers, lamb soup, boiled beef, beef skewers, and plenty of beef and mutton!

The young men in the caravan, men, women and children in the tribe all ate to their heart’s content!

Even Uncle Wumu became more cheerful, and ordered Batu to bring many jars of liquor. Everyone ate, drank and had fun together.

What Weidong was holding in his hand was not wine, but mutton soup.

On the surface, he was eating meat like everyone else, but in fact, he was still thinking about many things in his mind.

In order to help Weidong plan his route, Uncle Wumu temporarily left the parchment map with him. He would have to stay up late tonight to copy the map.

This kind of opportunity is rare, and not everyone will take out their treasured maps to show him.

The maps he drew were all made by caravans, and the areas drawn over such a long period of time were very limited, especially the areas that they had intentionally kept away from the king and the nobles in the past.

Those places were unknown areas to Weidong. Although Uncle Wumu's map was not as detailed as his records, it showed the terrain of the royal court and all the routes.

This is very rare. Weidong decided to copy this map as much as possible even if he had to stay up all night.

Weidong doesn't drink, so Ye Qingfeng has to take on the responsibility of entertaining people. He mingles with the people in the tribe, eating and drinking with them arm in arm.

When they were drunk, they even danced the grassland dance with everyone, and both the guests and the hosts were laughing and having a great time.

Uncle Wumu sat next to Weidong, talking incoherently. His eyes seemed to be watching everyone singing and dancing in the open space outside the tent, but his heart had already gone to his son.

His third son is a brave and good boy. Tandin has a grudge against his family, and he doesn't know whether he will abuse him!

The captives in the prison far away in the Tandin Meadows really had a hard time.

They had little food and clothing and were locked in a cell with thick fences. The temperature difference between day and night on the grassland was so great that they froze to death at night.

At noon, their skin was sunburned and the burning sensation was very strong. It was so hot that they were dying, but even drinking water was scarce.

I can bear being hungry, but being thirsty is really hard to bear.

Tandin wanted to torture them, because they were from the Ebony tribe!

If he had not been tasked with capturing two thousand able-bodied men, the total number of people captured so far would be less than fifteen hundred, which is still a long way from the target.

For fear of being punished by the nobles who looked down on them, Tandin would have taken action against the people of the Ebony Tribe long ago.

Now, in order to complete the mission, they can only let them survive for a while longer.

However, even though we cannot kill them, we can still torture them to vent our anger.

Therefore, withholding their rations and drinking water was his usual method. If he was in a bad mood, he would pull out a few people from the Ebony Tribe and give them a beating.

If Tandin and his men didn't have many tasks to complete, he would have tortured the captives from the Ebony Tribe to death.

Now, just keep your breath and make up the numbers!

The people of the Ebony tribe were very desperate. They knew that if they fell into Tandin's hands, they would surely die a miserable death.

Because Tandin is a vindictive person who does things without mercy, it is better to expect him to die suddenly than to expect him to be kind.

There are not many young and strong men left in their Ebony tribe. Who can they count on now to rescue them from the wolf's den?

Fortunately, the women and children in the family managed to escape successfully, otherwise what would be happening now would be a drama of separation of flesh and blood.

That would be the most torturous thing!

In contrast, they would rather suffer themselves.

The people of the Ebony tribe are still united. They take care of each other and struggle to survive in this worst possible environment.

What else could they complain about since the leader's son was suffering with them?

But such hopeless days were very wearing on one's mind, and they all sat there listlessly.

Wei Dong kept his word. After settling the caravan, he, Ye Qingfeng, and other guards set off with more than a dozen young and strong men from the Ebony Tribe.

Uncle Ebony stood at the gate of the tribe to see them off. They had already ridden far away on their horses, but Uncle Ebony still refused to go back.

He suddenly knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, chanted scriptures, and prayed to God to bless these children to return safely.

People from the tribe who came to see him off also followed suit and knelt down to pray.

Because their relatives are either in the team that is setting out now, or in the team that is being captured.

Batu was the guide. He had never left Chief Ebony's side. This time there was nothing he could do as there were not many people left in the tribe.

The number of people who could be selected was less than the number sent by the caravan. This was to rescue the people in distress in their tribe, so it was not justifiable that they sent too few people.

Uncle Ebony made a desperate move and picked out all the young men who were able to go into battle and kill the enemy.

He knew very well that if he failed to rescue his son and the others this time, he would never have another chance in his life.

Therefore, he could only risk his family fortune.

The grassland is really big. We have been riding horses for several days, but we have not yet gotten close to the territory of the royal court.

Wei Dong felt a little overwhelmed, but he gritted his teeth and held on without saying a word.

He knew that he would be able to enter the territory of the Tanding tribe tonight. After all, he joined later and their tribe was at the outermost part of the royal court.
