I can bless thousands of magical powers.

"Have you heard? The Crazy Sand Army's beacon fire was destroyed along the way!"

"Ah? When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago, it was said that not a single person was left alive."

"How can it be!"

"real."

"Which force is so powerful?"

"I heard it was the Xiyuandao Camp."

"Xiyuan? Daoying?"

In Crescent Oasis, in a tavern, Zhang Yuan sat in a corner, drinking the unique mare's milk wine of the Western Regions while listening to the chatter and whispers of the drinkers around him.

Four days ago, after he had prayed for the souls of the horse thieves from the Blue Wolf Camp, he did not immediately return to Xiyuan City.

Instead, he returned to the Crescent Oasis.

Now Zhang Yuan has changed his appearance and disguised himself as a down-and-out wanderer.

Such characters are everywhere in Oasis and are not at all noticeable.

Of course, he came here again for a purpose.

The most important thing is to find out the movements of the Kuangsha Army.

Although the Blue Wolf Camp was destroyed, this gang of horse thieves was just one of the sixteen beacons of the Kuangsha Army.

Once the news gets out, the latter's reaction is difficult to predict.

What Zhang Yuan was worried about was that they would become enraged and gather multiple beacons to besiege Xiyuan City.

This possibility is actually not very high.

After all, Xiyuan City is a Taoist city under the jurisdiction of Shang Jingtian. If the Kuangsha Army dares to attack and provokes Shang Jingtian's wrath, they will definitely be in trouble.

You should know that there are more than one or two big guys in Shang Jingtian.

But no matter how small the matter is, Zhang Yuan must guard against possible retaliation from the Kuangsha Army.

The Crescent Oasis, as a lawless area where all kinds of people gather, is undoubtedly the best place to gather information.

In addition, Zhang Yuan is also somewhat interested in Crescent Oasis. He only had a quick look last time, but this time he will stay for a few days to get a deeper understanding of it. Maybe he will get some unexpected gains.

As for the situation in Xiyuan City, he doesn't need to worry.

Yesterday, Mo Wei sent a letter to inform that the team had returned safely.

The situation is currently stable.

Zhang Yuan drank the wine in the bowl and was about to get up and leave when he heard someone beside him say in a low voice, "The Crazy Sand Army won't give up. I saw people from the Red Tiger Camp by the lake today."

Zhang Yuan's heart moved and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

He didn't expect that the news of the destruction of the Blue Wolf Camp would spread so quickly.

You should know that this group of horse bandits was completely wiped out by Zhang Yuan and his three hundred soldiers, leaving no one alive.

Now all those who participated in the battle have returned to Xiyuandao City.

Who leaked the news then?
Zhang Yuan originally thought that the Kuangsha Army would not become aware of the situation until at least ten days or half a month later, and then conduct an investigation. It would be impossible to know the truth in a short period of time.

It’s only been a few days?

The related news spread like wildfire in Crescent Oasis, and even people from the Red Tiger Camp showed up!
Zhang Yuan continued to sit in the tavern for half an hour, but without hearing any useful information, he paid the bill and left.

He carried the packaged beef and wine gourd and staggered back to his residence.

A slum located on the southeast edge of the oasis.

Compared with the area surrounding the central lake, the environment here is quite bad. Dilapidated earthen houses and thatched houses are crowded together, becoming the habitat of a large number of lower-class people.

The people living here are of very complex composition. Some are from the Western Regions, some are from Daqian, and some are from a certain tribe. They are warriors, farmers, craftsmen, herdsmen, and even people running half-door businesses.

The house where Zhang Yuan lived was relatively intact. At least there was no big hole in the roof, and the door was not missing a corner or half of it.

Don't be fooled by the messy appearance of this place. There are actually people or forces managing it. When Zhang Yuan first arrived, a third-level warrior came to question him. Knowing that he wanted to stay for a while, he rented this vacant house to him.

The rent is very cheap.

Because the previous residents all died in accidents.

Like most down-and-out wanderers, Zhang Yuan didn't care and paid one month's rent.

Even though he didn't plan to stay here for such a long time.

"Mr. Guan."

Zhang Yuan did not go back to his house directly, but came to the small mud house next door and greeted a white-haired old man sitting at the door: "Have you had dinner?"

This old man with white hair and a weathered face is called Guan Xiucai by the people living here.

It is said that he was born into a scholarly family in Daqian. Due to family disaster, he was forced to flee to the Western Regions, and accidentally came to the Crescent Oasis, where he finally settled down.

They live there for decades.

Although Guan Xiucai has no military power.

But he was well-read in the Four Books and Five Classics and had a very good knowledge. He usually made a living by writing letters and teaching children to read.

Although martial arts are respected in this world, no one would deliberately make things difficult for a poor scholar like Guan Xiucai, and he has lived in peace until now.

After Zhang Yuan became his neighbor, they quickly became familiar with each other.

Guan Xiucai shook his head and said seriously: "The sage said that you should not eat after noon."

Zhang Yuan burst out laughing.

What saint doesn’t allow us to eat dinner?
If the other person's eyes had not fallen on the paper bag in his hand, Zhang Yuan would probably have believed it.

He handed over the wine gourd and the paper bag containing beef: "Don't be so sage, the most important thing in the world is eating. I'll treat you."

Guan Xiucai pondered for a moment, then nodded happily: "That makes sense!"

Then he couldn't wait to take it.

Zhang Yuan laughed: "Then eat slowly."

Guan Xiucai put down his things, stood up and bowed: "Thank you very much."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and went back to his house.

This old sour scholar is actually quite interesting.

As night fell, Zhang Yuan lit the oil lamp.

He took out a letter token from the storage space, spread it out, picked up the red brush and wrote a few lines on it.

The news of the Blue Wolf Camp's destruction leaked out so quickly. The only explanation is that there is a traitor within the Xiyuandao Camp.

No matter what force this traitor belongs to, his existence is a threat to Daoying.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan asked Mo Wei to discuss with Sun Yujiang to find a way to catch the traitor and eliminate this internal trouble!

With Sun Yujiang's scheming, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Late at night, Zhang Yuan quietly left his residence again.

The signal was activated in a remote and deserted place.

Pass the message to Mo Wei who is far away in Xiyuan!
The reason why he chose this marginal place was to facilitate communication with Mo Wei.

Otherwise, if Fu Xin flew into the oasis, there would be no guarantee that he would not be discovered.

And then Zhang Yuan was exposed.

For safety reasons, he deliberately chose late at night.

After watching a faint golden light disappear into the dark night, Zhang Yuan returned to his residence.

Sitting on the futon, he closed his eyes.

While practicing Qigong and Qigong, he was thinking about his next move. (End of this chapter)
