Chapter 416: Incredible In Her Own Way

After avoiding the question about their origin, Huan Yun looked at Xu Xiang and said, "Actually, I have found the location of the second space gate. It’s just... The location is a bit tricky and difficult to sneak in."

"Where is it?" Xu Xiang asked curiously.

Huan Yun took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and spread it on the table. She pointed to an icon in the middle of the map and said, "The location of the space gate is right here. It’s located underground like the one in the imperial capital city of the Qin Kingdom."

After studying the simple map, Xiao Shao suddenly asked, "Isn’t that the base camp of the nine barbarian clans?"

Huan Yun thought about it for a while and said, "I don’t know anything about the nine barbarian clans, but this is indeed the largest camp among the ten camps owned by the barbarians."

Looking at the simple map, Xiao Shao pointed to the smaller icons on the map and said, "These are the camps of the nine clans. Each clan owned one camp."

Then he pointed to the larger icon that Huan Yun pointed to before and said, "This is the base main camp of the barbarians. Their leader Ka Hu Long and his wives and concubines live here."

Huan Yun shudders as she recalls the scene where she watches a man who was forcing a young woman to watch her mother being boiled alive.

She looked at Xiao Shao and asked hesitantly: "Xiao Shao, this Ka Huo Long... Is he a man in his forties? Does he have a long scar from his eyebrows to his chin, and his body smells like manure?"

Hearing her questions, Xiao Shao was speechless.

"....." ’How does she know if he smells like manure or not? Did her investigation also include smelling his body? This Miss Huan is really incredible in her own way.’

Xiao Shao was speechless for a long time, before he said calmly: "It sounds like he is indeed Ka Huo Long. As for how he smells... There is no information about that. "

Hearing this, Huan Yun frowned slightly and said, "There are many middle-aged men with scars there. If you don’t know the smell on his body, I think we can’t be sure that the man I saw is Ka Huo Long."

She thought for a while before saying, "How about you send some hidden guards to check his body odor."

"..." Xiao shao was speechless again after listening to her words.

Seeing Xiao Shao’s speechless expression, Xu Xiang chuckled and said, "Huan Yun, let’s talk about Ka Huo Long’s body odor later. Do you have any other information about the barbarians?"

Huan Yun thought for a while, nodded and said, "I saw a lot of transport carts coming in and out from the barbarians’ main camp. Out of curiosity, I went to find out what is inside those transport carts. Guess what is in those transport carts."

Xiao Shao thought for a few seconds and said, "Rations and weapons."

Hearing his answer, Huan Yun was surprised, looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "How do you know?"

Xiao Shao smiled slightly and said, "It is easy to guess. The barbarians live on the barren land all year round, a place where not even a drop of water can be found. In the past, they would plunder the villages and towns in the border areas of the Western Region every week. But the last time they plundered a small village was actually two months ago. Based on this fact alone, we can guess what was in the transport carts."

"Then how do you know about the weapons?" Huan Yun asked again.

Xiao Shao took a sip of water and said, "The barbarians would not dare to declare war on me if they had no backers. If someone supports them to fight me, that person will naturally provide what the army needs the most when they go to war. Which is, weapons and rations."

"Then do you know who their backer is?" Xu Xiang asked after a moment of silence.

Upon hearing her question, Xiao Shao’s eyes flashed with murderous intent and he said, "Yes. It’s Cao Qinbo, the Right Prime Minister of the Shang Empire."

Hearing his answer, Xu Xiang frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice: "It’s really him."

She whispered softly and was heard by Xiao Shao. He raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Miss Xu, do you also know Cao Qinbo?"

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Yes. Before we left Shen Gu Village, two groups of spies poisoned the food and water. We found that the only people who could refine the poison were the Cao family of the Shang Empire. A Lu Qian also discovered that only the clan leader of the Cao family and his heirs knew the recipe for the poison. Luckily, one group of the spies weren’t smart enough, so we found the poison in time and no one died in that incident."

Hearing what she said, Mu Yucheng held her hand tightly and asked, "Xiang’er, why didn’t you tell me about this matter?"

Xu Xiang turned to look at him and saw the self-blame and worry in his eyes. She squeezed his hand gently and said, "You are busy cultivating at that time, and I didn’t dare to disturb you. What if you get injured because of this? I can’t and won’t take the risk. Besides, isn’t I alright now?"

Hearing what she said, Mu Yucheng frowned deeply and asked, "But what if something happens to you? What should I do then?"

She stared at him for a while, then stretched out her hand to gently straighten his frown and said, "I knew you would be worried about me, so I didn’t tell you."

After hearing what she said, Mu Yucheng didn’t speak for a long time before saying, "I’m worried because I care and love you. If something happens to you, can you not hide it from me? If you don’t tell me, how can I protect you?"
