Qiyuan County became more and more chaotic.

Except for the strongest county seat, all the towns and villages below are almost deserted. If you enter Qiyuan County from other places, you will only see desolate villages.

What about the people in the village?

The farmers in the entire Qiyuan County, including the people in the town, are not in the village or the town. If someone with a heart comes to investigate, it will only feel creepy.

And not long after the huge ant marching demon stepped into Qiyuan County, Brother Dan figured out the situation.

The fields near the village are very neat, and there are still some hoes in the field. It can be seen that the owner must have left in a hurry, so that he even forgot to take his own hoes, but the houses in the village are all in good condition, and there is no fight at all. trace.

Brother Dan waved his hand majestically, and Taoist soldiers immediately entered the village to investigate.

"There is no one in the village, and every family has no money and food." Dao Bing quickly ran back to answer.

"Are there any traces?" The black bear looked serious.

In fact, the road has been going smoothly. Brother Dan brings a lot of money, and every time he goes to the city, he buys a lot of food and other food. Coupled with the dry food that everyone carries, the journey is actually very easy.

Therefore, the Taoist soldiers below relaxed even with the black bear, thinking that Qiyuan County might be a little more chaotic and poorer, but that's what it should be. With these helpers here, they can always change in the future.

But now that the village is almost completely empty, and the traces have not been empty for long, it makes people wonder.

Anyway, looking at such a village, I can't feel at ease in my heart, and I feel a creepy feeling.

Looking at the Taoist soldiers shaking their heads, it was obvious that there was nothing else to discover.

The black bear's face gradually became ugly, and he thought of a completely impossible possibility.

The village looks too strange, people are gone, money and food are not there, what is the reason for the whole village to leave, or is there something that can affect so many people, or someone did something.

Ordinary people certainly don't have such ability, so...

"Qiyuan County is not close to the border town, but if you go directly over the mountains..." The black bear turned to look at the three cubs, trying to see something from their faces.

The Wotu Mountain stretches for thousands of miles. If you start from Qiyuan County and go straight across the Wotu Mountain Range, you will be able to contact the Yao Kingdom.

Hei Xiong really can't think of anyone who has such ability to do such a thing, he thinks it might have something to do with monsters.

"It's possible." Brother Dan raised the corners of his lips cryptically, then forcibly pressed them down, coughing with his small fists clenched in his paws, and said calmly, "Let's go to another village to see, maybe there will be What did you find?"

As he spoke, Brother Dan hurriedly turned to look at the sand fox and red fox.

The two brothers didn't react at all, and they were still a little confused. Obviously, they were not like this when they left Qiyuan County, but when they left Shangyuan Village, there were actually some clues: all the people of General Dog were arrested, and Gouwa Uncle quickly integrated the people in the village and temporarily twisted into one rope.

It's not hard to imagine that if General Dog rescued all of his own people, then the people under his command and the people under Uncle Gou Wa's would definitely be at odds. If they all stayed in the village, there would definitely be conflicts.

So how to resolve the conflict?

Brother Dan can't figure it out for the time being, but it must have something to do with these people not being in the village, and such a trick... must be his father's trick.

But these are just speculations, and Brother Dan didn't say it rashly, but patiently went to investigate several other villages, even a town.

All the places are much the same, there are no people, money and food are gone.

The black bear's face became more and more ugly, and the Taoist soldiers below were all tensed up. They wanted to protect Brother Dan, Cub Claw, and Cub Thunderbolt. The unclear situation in front of them made them feel a strong sense of crisis in their hearts .

"Is there anyone in the town?" The claw cub also guessed something, but he was equally cautious and didn't say anything.

"There are still people who haven't come back." Hei Xiong said with a gloomy face.

After a while, two Taoist soldiers hurried back, "General, there are people guarding the town, but they are hiding well enough. There seems to be some kind of formation in that place. If it wasn't for a coincidence...there would be no way to find that place."

As soon as these words came out, the people present understood that maybe there were people guarding the village they passed by before, but they were all hidden in the formation and no one could find it.

"Bring it up and ask." Black Bear hurriedly said.

Two young men, one fat and the other thin, seemed to have a very bad relationship. Every time they approached, they would raise eyebrows and curse.

When you get closer, you can tell by just looking at the clothes on the two of them.

One of them was wearing extremely rare silk and satin, and it seemed that they should have been pampered before, while the other was black and thin, and the clothes on his body should look good, but they were neither fish nor fowl, and it was obvious that he had never seen such good materials before. The clothes are all casually worn on the body.

It is not difficult to see that the living environment of the two people should be completely different before, one is poor and the other is rich, but now they must be together for some reason, but there are contradictions between the rich and the poor, even if they get together temporarily, Certainly not harmony.

Brother Dan nodded secretly. In his opinion, if the relationship between two people is very good, then people should be vigilant. Take advantage of loopholes.

Those who can arrange in this way must have thought of this situation long ago, and are also happy to see this situation, which is very clever.

"Are you two from this town?" Black Bear asked.

The sharp claw cubs and thunder cubs have quickly hid behind the sand fox and red fox. Although their two cubs are also wearing clothes, they are different from people after all. If they are suddenly seen by strangers, If there is a bad explanation, it will be bad.

Brother Dan found a fist-sized stone and hid it behind.

Although the marching ant monster is extremely ferocious, but because it is too big, it looks like a hill when it is lying still, and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly at a glance, so it will not be regarded as a monster.

"We are not from this town." The skinny one said hastily.

The fat one also nodded quickly.

Although the two of them are not compatible, and they are not from the same place, after all, they have been together for so many days, they are more familiar than these strange Taoist soldiers in front of them, and these Taoist soldiers look very difficult to mess with. The identity made the two of them dare not have other thoughts.

"Then why do you stay in this town?" Black Bear asked, before the two of them could speak, he understood, "It must have been arranged by someone. Who arranged for you? Where are the original people in this town?"

The skinny man rolled his eyes, seeing that the black bear was doing well, he didn't shout and kill, and he didn't look like he would attack suddenly, so he tentatively said: "Dare to ask my lords, where did you come from, and where are you going?" Where are you going? To tell you the truth, our small Qiyuan County does not have such majestic Taoist soldiers as you."

It stands to reason that there should be a small general stationed in Qiyuan County, with at least a thousand soldiers under his command.

Black Bear thought so, so he asked.

It happened that the fat man had a lot of money and food in his family, and he had heard about the soldiers stationed in Qiyuan County. Now he saw that the black bears and these Taoist soldiers were very different, so he said flatteringly: "Many years ago, when my ancestors were alive. , there used to be garrisons, but then they disappeared..."

This made Hei Xiong furious, "The magistrate of Qiyuan County still asks the imperial court for military pay every year!"

Since there were no Dao soldiers, where did the soldiers pay for returning?

This is what the black bear is angry about.

The fat man was taken aback, and finally realized that he had said something bad, so he quickly shut up and stopped talking, but he was also very wronged, because he had never seen the garrison in Qiyuan County when he was so old. The rumors in the family thought it was all fake.

He thought that all the Dao soldiers in the world were in the border towns, and there were absolutely no other places.

"He probably doesn't know anything else, send him back, we're leaving." Brother Dan shouted from behind a stone.

The fat and thin people could hear clearly, subconsciously wanting to find out who spoke.

The black bear immediately scolded and ordered his subordinates to take the two away.

After they were sent away, Hei Xiong asked the brother Dan who ran out, "I haven't asked them why the people in the town are not here yet."

"It's useless to ask. First of all, those two people are not locals, so we have no way of judging whether what he said is true or not." Brother Dan calmly said, "But once asked, it doesn't matter whether what he said is true or not. It may affect our judgment. I think that since we have come to Qiyuan County, we might as well go directly to the county seat to have a look. If Master Jia is in the county, then we will talk about it later, and if Master Jia is not, we will make another plan."

Black Bear could only nod.

In fact, you can't believe everything the fat and thin people say, but you can't believe it, and they don't need to ask anything now, it's better to go directly to the county seat to find out the root of the problem.

Thinking like this, the group of people didn't stop much on the road, they almost rushed all day long.

Close to the county seat, there is already a guard post in the distance, and there are dense crowds of people farther away. You don't need to think about where the people in those villages and towns have gone.

If this is the case, it is not good to rush forward, so Brother Dan found a small mountain bag, let Dahei hide behind, and then the Taoist soldiers stationed in place to repair.

"I didn't know it would become like this." Along the way, even though Shahu had guessed in his heart, he still couldn't believe it.

Seeing Brother Dan, Cub Claw, Cub Thunder, Black Bear, and another little general who was basically silent gathered together to discuss matters, and these people did not avoid him, Shahu hurriedly explained.

In fact, when he left, only Shangyuan Village had changed.

But looking at it now, it seems that the entire Qiyuan County has changed, so what exactly has Shangyuan Village become now, what about General Dog and Uncle Gouwa, and where Yan Xun is, he has no idea at all.

Brother Dan gave Shahu a calm look, "We must have someone to investigate the situation now, no matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, we cannot rush forward rashly."

It was a good proposition, and no one refuted it.

The black bear took the branch and gestured on the ground, "Although those people are ordinary people and look very loose, they are actually organized in formations, so we must not underestimate them. We must not act rashly now, or we will be easily discovered. "

All nodded.

The little prince is most familiar with the formation of troops, Dan Honghong has learned a lot from him, but the other cubs are not all completely ignorant, their abilities are not as good as the little prince's, but they are definitely proficient.

"There are masters." Brother Dan said old-fashionedly, "If it is an ordinary farmer, you may have the opportunity to read and write, but how can you learn how to arrange troops. This must not be a family tradition, because I found that the seemingly loose formation , In fact, they are interlocking, as long as anyone has a problem, the formation will change immediately."

"If you have a family like General Yang's, you may be able to form an army." Thunder Cub said.

Black Bear nodded.

The Yang family is full of loyalty and loyalty, and the family has been passed down for hundreds of years. Not to mention the illustrious military exploits, the family education is also very deep.

Only a group like the Yang family can cultivate a young general like Yang Qiong. It's not that the black bear looks down on Qiyuan County, but that many things will never be accessible unless they reach a certain level.

"So I'll go." Brother Dan said solemnly.

Hei Xiong subconsciously seems to be vetoing. It's not that he doesn't like Brother Dan's ability. In fact, he has seen Brother Dan go to the battlefield to kill monsters, which is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers, but his current duty is to protect Dan. younger brother.

"You protected me very well." Brother Dan said seriously, "I have to do this. Your goals are too big, but only mine is very small. Just think about it, the size of an egg does not take up space. It is also easy to hide, even a leaf can make me hide safely, so it is most suitable for me to go."

"En." Cub Claw nodded.

Hei Xiong looked at Brother Dan and saw that he insisted, so he nodded too.

So Brother Dan ran to the back, and found a suit that looked similar to a stone on the ground, or a dry grass leaf, and there were some seemingly trivial clothes on it, but they could almost completely blend in with the surrounding environment.

Obviously Brother Dan didn't do whatever he wanted just because of his small size, he not only changed his clothes, but also re-examined the things he was carrying.

Before leaving, Brother Dan took out his pocket watch, "I'll be back in half an hour at most, if I fail to come back, you must not be impulsive, you can let my brother continue to inquire."

"I'll go." The Cub Claw hurriedly said.

Then if something happens to Cub Claw, it must be Cub Thunder.

The black bear watched from the side very uncomfortable. He found that Brother Dan cooperated very well with the two cubs. The tacit understanding between them was better than that of veterans on the battlefield, and they also had skills that veterans could not match.

Watching Brother Dan go away, Hei Xiong couldn't help thinking of the exploits these cubs had made on the battlefield, but just like that, the capital side didn't want to admit that these cubs had military exploits at all, and even... wanted to convict Yan Xun.

He knew in his heart that it was not only about military exploits and facts, but also because of the identities of the cubs, the identities represented by Yan Xun, which had something to do with politics behind it, so the facts could only stand in the background .

He also told Brother Dan that sitting in different positions not only has a lot of involuntary control, but conscience and shame are not what you want.

"Brother Dan will be fine." Black Bear murmured.

The sharp claw cub nodded heavily, "Brother Dan wears a pattern that we have recently researched, which can hide people very well. When there is a chance to dye more of this kind of cloth in the future, I will send it to the camp in the border town. "

If the Dao soldiers can hide better, this is also a way to save their lives.

"Thank you." The black bear solemnly cupped his hands at Cub Claw, "Although many things are beyond my control, I personally swear that I will never violate my own principles, nor will I betray you."

"You don't have to do that, General." Cub Claw shook his head lightly, "Our study of dyed cloth is nothing more than a task assigned by the adults. We also want to find more knowledge through dyed cloth."

Cub Claw wants to say that this incident has nothing to do with the Taoist soldiers of the border town camp, they didn't mean to be kind.

In fact, Yan Xun just mentioned a few words casually at the beginning, and the cubs took them to heart and used their spare time to study them.

But when Cub Claw said this, the black bear's heart became more complicated, sore and a little sad.

In the distance, Brother Dan, who had almost merged with the stone under his feet, stood still, looked left and right, jumped up and fell aside, picked a half-dried leaf that seemed to fall naturally, and just blocked himself like this forward……
